Bus loop lighting upgrades coming

He’s Sticking With It

CITY, TRANSLINK TO SHARE COST OF INSTALLING MORE AND BRIGHTER BULBS BR ENDA ANDER SON Tim es Reporter

A savage attack on a man who had just stepped off a bus at the Langley City bus loop has jumpstarted efforts to improve both visibility and safety at the stop. On Monday night, Langley City council approved a plan to contribute $32,500 toward lighting upgrades at the City’s main bus stop, located at the corner of Logan Avenue and Glover Road. TransLink will contribute an additional $21,500, for a total of $54,000 in improvements, which will include new light standards and twice the current number of bulbs, which will be higher wattage than those now in place. The City had been in discussion with TransLink for several months about sharing costs to improve public safety at the bus stop, which is located on a dark street in front of a largely vacant mall. However late last month, the need for the upgrades took on a new urgency. On Nov. 28, Chris Lafrenier was beaten and robbed by a pair of teenagers near the bus exchange. He suffered a broken nose, a chipped tooth, a concussion and

lacerations to his head in the attack. Because of the extent of his injuries, Lafrenier will be unable to work for an indeterminate amount of time. After The Times reported his story, the public quickly stepped up, donating more than $12,000 to a GoFundMe campaign that had aimed to raise $5,000 for Lafrenier and his wife, in addition to several other funds set up on their behalf. (See separate story, page 3). In a briefing note, City engineer Rick Bomhoff indicated that council could choose to postpone the work until the spring, after the 2015 capital improvement plan has been approved. “However, there is an urgent need to upgrade the lighting at the bus exchange with recent public safety issues at the location,” Bomhoff wrote. “We’ve had issues in that particular area,” said Mayor Ted Schaffer, before calling the question on the funding allocation. With the money having been committed by TransLink, he urged council to move ahead on the upgrades. “Let’s light that place up like an airport runway,” he said. Continued Page 4

Langley Secondary School could close. A notice of motion to consider closing Langley Secondary was passed by trustees at the Langley Board of Education meeting on Tuesday evening. The notice of motion will be discussed again at the next board meeting, but it was essential to make it now, because it shows intent of a business plan to the

ministry of education. But the notice of motion does not mean the closure of LSS is a done deal, said school district staff and trustees. “My hope is that the message is clear that this is a policy piece we must follow, not a decision,” said Trustee Megan Dykeman, who brought forward the notice of motion.

‘Thank you so much’ BEATING VICTIM GRATEFUL FOR HELP MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

he had fallen to the ground. Police reports say they found him in a pool of his own blood. He was bleeding from his ears, his tooth was chipped, his face swollen and unrecognizable. The teens took his expensive rebar work equipment and the couple hundred in cash he had in his wallet. But Langley RCMP were quick to react and found the culprits nearby. Both were held in custody but 19-year-old Matthew Samms was released on $1,000 bail and appears again Jan. 6, 2015. The 15-yearold has been held in custody and was expected to enter a guilty plea in Surrey Provincial Court when he appeared again on Wednesday. Lafrenier did get his equipment back, not his money, but as the sole breadwinner in the family, the couple had no way to pay rent, feed their two dogs and cat or themselves. That’s when his mother-in-law Lynn Blair put up a gofundme.com account and within two days, nearly $10,000 was raised. Now the fund is at more than $12,000. The original goal was to raise $5,000. Food by the shopping cart-full has been delivered to them, both for them and the animals. Cash donations and restaurant gift cards have been dropped off at The Times’ office. One longtime Langley resident offered to cook them a turkey for Christmas day. He is bringing them the turkey frozen this week. A Willoughby dental office is fixing his chipped tooth for free and many other generous offers have come their way. He is attempting to try and go back to work on a half-day start, doing light duty in the coming week but isn’t sure how he will do. But for now, his family are grateful to enjoy this Christmas together.

Chris Lafrenier is recovering from the beating he was given by two teens after he got off a bus at the Langley City bus loop on Nov. 28. Generous members of the community have donated more than $12,000, as well as given many other gifts to him and his family.

Colour scheme fine with church

Timms is behind schedule

Chris Lafrenier is still overwhelmed by the caring and generosity of strangers who came rushing to help after hearing he had been beaten badly while trying to get home from work. “I’m just so grateful for the community. Thank you so much. I don’t even know what to say,” said Lafrenier, 39, from his home in south Langley. Lafrenier said he is feeling “better” and glad to not have ‘raccoon’ eyes anymore. “My friends were calling me Rocky,” he said. He has a long way to go though. He walks with a limp now and finds he gets exhausted walking just a few blocks. He has brain damage and is finding he is forgetting things all the time. Lafrenier said the night he was beaten, Friday, Nov. 28, he had missed the last bus out of the Langley City bus loop and was thinking about calling a cab. “I have used that bus loop a lot and I’ve seen a lot too. It can be a scary spot but I didn’t expect to get jumped,” said Lafrenier. He said he doesn’t know exactly where he was when he was jumped, and doesn’t remember much from that evening. Police found him in the 5500 block of 203 Street. He remembers a woman saying ‘stop, stop, I’m going to call 911,’ and to her he is so grateful. She has never come forward to him. “But the rest of that night, I just don’t remember,” he said. “And even now, I keep forgetting everything.” He was beaten and robbed by two Langley teens, ages 15 and 19. Witnesses told police he was kicked in the head repeatedly by the boys who also kicked him in the kidneys even after

A church-approved colour scheme has cleared the way for construction of row housing across the street from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Langley. A majority of Township council voted at their Dec. 8 meeting to issue a development permit for the Qualico Developments’ project at the corner of 82 Avenue and 204 Street, now that the church and the developer have worked things out. In October, council postponed a decision because the church objected to the pro-

posed look of the 29 row house units and eight semi-detached units in four buildings, saying they would clash with the classical design of the nearby temple. The Qualico design featured a choice of colour schemes that included shades of orange, red and green, not a good match with the granite church, temple president Ron Komm said. Project architect Brian Shigetomi has softened the colours, which he described as “a bit punchy” at the October meeting. The revised design opts for a grey, beige and brown colour

scheme with a more formal overall look that adds, among other things, a brick veneer and window shutters. The report to council included a copy of an email from temple president Komm approving the “aesthetic improvements” and thanking the builders for showing sensitivity to the church suggestions. The Langley temple was dedicated in May of 2010. It is the seventh built in Canada by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It serves 22,000 Mormons from 91 congregations in B.C. and Washington. It is is reserved for the sacraments of the church.

Construction on the new Timms Community Centre is running behind schedule, but it’s time the City of Langley hopes can be made up once the project reaches the next phase of construction. During an update on the project, City CAO Francis Cheung told council on Monday night, that a series of unexpected discoveries had set work on the building back by about three months. During excavation for the community centre, which will be connected to City Hall, crews uncovered an artesian well that needed to be capped as well as a number of rail ties from

the former interurban railway, which they had to remove. The greatest delays, however, were caused by the need to relocate BC Hydro and Telus lines, which previously ran through the property where the centre’s underground parking garage will be located. All of it slowed construction crews’ progress, causing them to fall behind on what Cheung described as a “very, very aggressive schedule.” Originally expected to be complete in December 2015, the centre is now more likely to be finished in March 2016, council learned. However, staff are working with the contractor to determine whether Continued, Page 6

The only other member who spoke before council voted unanimously to spend $29,000 from its enterprise fund to pay its portion of the upgrades, was Councillor Dave Hall. “I understand why we want to get on with this right away, and that’s why we’re using the present enterprise fund. But what’s the difference between using capital funding from next year?” Calling the practice “smoke and mirrors,” Hall said it amounted to another year-end scramble to

use up the council’s discretionary fund. “Don’t come back and suggest the enterprise fund is anything but a slush fund,” he said, before voting with the rest of council to spend the money. The balance of the City’s share — $3,500 — will be taken from its engineering operating budget. City CAO Francis Cheung said the materials to carry out the upgrades will be ordered immediately. He expects they will take between 10 and 12 weeks to arrive and will be installed in February or March.

retary-treasurer David Green. While no decision has been made as to which of the options will be pursued to address the seismic concerns at LSS, the options that include school closure would require a school closure consultation process as outlined in the policy. Green said it was crucial to start that process, which will be 60 days from Tuesday, to consult with the public on this. “We consulted legal advice and they recommended we give formal notice of motion of the board’s intent to consider the potential closure of LSS. If we waited until January it would be too late,” Green said, explaining that the reason the district is moving so fast on the longterm facilities plan is because the provincial government puts together its budget in January for the fiscal year. The ministry of education has said Langley must have a business plan ready to go, should funding for a new school becomes available. But even if the board agreed to close LSS, it would still take a few years to accomplish, said assistant superintendent Gord Stewart. “No matter what we do, we aren’t going to make everyone happy,” he said. “We all agree that we will make it work and we will do well by students,” said Suzanne Hoffman, superintendent of schools. Other suggestions that came out of the public feedback included building a middle school or smaller high school on the LSS property. The board has decided to hold an open house on Jan. 16, 2015 to update and show the options for Langley’s schools. The board will then have to make some big decisions to make at its Jan. 27 meeting.

Food waste, seen here in a Metro Vancouver “green can” will not be allowed in regular garbage next year, as Metro Vancouver brings in new waste disposal rules.

Food scraps to be banned from garbage cans Jan. 1 D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Langley City and Township residents will have time to get used to the new waste disposal rules that ban food from regular garbage. When the new rules take effect on Jan. 1, Metro Vancouver promises initial enforcement will focus on “large generators of food waste” like supermarkets, restaurants and hotels. During the first six months no penalties will be charged in order to give residents and businesses time to implement effective plans for separating food waste from other garbage, the regional authority says. Starting in July, loads of garbage with “excess” food waste, defined as more than 25 per cent food scraps, will be charged 50 per cent extra at waste transfer stations. People who accidentally include smaller amounts of banned food waste won’t be fined, Metro says, but the enforcement will become stricter in 2016, when the maximum allowable amount of food waste will be gradually lowered to 10 per cent. Single family homes that get curbside pickup can put food waste in a “green can,” a specially labelled garbage container, for pickup. Kitchen scraps and yard waste like grass clippings and Christmas trees are allowed in the cans, but no soil, animal waste, painted wood, thick branches or anything with plastic, including using a plastic garbage bag to store the waste. People must get a sticker from the City or Township to identify which garbage container is being used as “green can.” They are available at the main civic facilities in the City and Township. (For more information, including other ways

of obtaining the stickers, visit http://www.tol.ca/ Services-Contact/Garbage-and-Recycling/GreenCan or http://www.city.langley.bc.ca/index.php/ residents/garbage-and-recycling for more details). People who live in rural areas without curbside collection will have do their own sorting before they go to the Langley waste transfer station. Metro says residents of townhouses and apartment complexes should talk to their landlords, property managers, and waste haulers. Businesses are expected to do the same. Metro says commercial digesters, which allow businesses to dispose of organic food waste into the sewer system are “not currently prohibited” by Metro Vancouver’s sewer use regulations, but they do require a permit to operate legally. Metro Vancouver has been planning the ban on food waste since 2012. The regional authority said it has consulted widely with grocery stores, restaurants and shopping mall food courts, and institutions such as school districts and health authorities. “We send far too much garbage to the landfill and food waste comprises about 40 per cent of residential garbage,” says Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, Chair of Metro Vancouver’s Zero Waste Committee. Metro Vancouver says it has one of the highest recycling rates in North America at 60 per cent. The organics ban is expected to increase the rate to 70 per cent in 2015 and 80 per cent by 2020. More detailed information about the ban can be viewed at http://www.city.langley.bc.ca/ or at http://www.tol.ca/Services-Contact/Garbage-and-Recycling/Garbage. Information is also available at the Recycling Council of BC hotline: 604-732-9253.

Manage Menopause Naturally During menopause, hormonal changes in the body trigger a range of symptoms that can include: hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Many of these symptoms can be eased and even be prevented with the use of natural products and lifestyle changes. Here are three key areas to address as women approach menopausal years: Support Adrenal Function Adrenal glands are intended to supplement hormones when the ovaries stop producing them. However, stress and environmental factors often cause these hormones to become depleted before menopause. Taking an adrenal support product can assist in overall balance and energy.

Cleanse the Liver The liver is responsible for processing and/or regulating hormone levels in the body. Support products such as milk thistle, NAC, curcumin, and artichoke, assist in keeping the liver working at optimal levels and better able to metabolize hormones.

Balance Hormones Symptoms of menopause often increase when there is a ﬂuctuation in hormones. Products such as indole-3-carbinol, vitex, sulforaphane, and black cohosh have all been proven to aid in hormone balance and protection from environmental toxins that can affect hormones.

Lighting a good step

Published Tuesday and Thursday at 20258 Fraser Highway, Langley, B.C., V3A 4E6 by Black Press Ltd. Sales agreement No. 3298280. Contents copyright of Black Press.

Thanks to Langley City and TransLink for stepping up to the plate and improving lighting at the Langley City bus exchange. Funds have been approved and materials are being ordered, and there should be better lighting there by February or March. This is a step in the right direction. Much more needs to be done to improve safety there, starting with video surveillance cameras. Both agencies have their hands tied by privacy regulations, so it’s time for public pressure on MLA Mary Polak. She needs to be asked why privacy is allowed to override safety at the bus exchange. It is perfectly acceptable and legal for private property owners to mount surveillance cameras to document property crimes. Langley RCMP are using the images they capture on a daily basis. Yet somehow, it is unacceptable to use such cameras at high-risk public locations, where people are attacked, beaten and robbed. This is wrong, and it needs to change.

Smart steps needed

Kelly Myers ASSISTANT AD MANAGER

they

Dear Kinder Morgan, I want to give you a little advice. Why do you care? Well, I’m one of the mushy middle-of-the-road folks you need onside if you’re going to triple the size of your pipeline running from the oil sands in Alberta to your Burnaby terminal. You need people like me. I’m not going up to protest on Burnaby Mountain if you start working there again. Heck, I may not even sign a petition unless it’s shoved under my nose. But that doesn’t mean I’m sympathetic to your cause. In fact, I’ve been cheering on the protesters because I see it as part of a big pushback that’s needed, and gathering steam. That huge barrage of ads you’ve put out in recent weeks isn’t going to sway me either. Yes, your employees in the ads look like people I’d like to share a beer with. And I think they deserve a job to feed their families. And yes, I know they’re not sinister schemers trying to soak the ocean floors with undiluted bitumen or alter the atmosphere with oil burned somewhere in China. And truth be known, I don’t even think Kinder Morgan — or any “Big Oil” companies for that matter — is inherently evil or bent on fouling the earth beyond repair. I know they’re creating loads of high-paying jobs and helping to fill our national coffers at a time when, frankly, the economy is a basket case. It’s hard to talk to too many people these days without bumping into someone who’s either worked in “Fort Mac” or who knows someone who is. Shut down the Alberta oil sands tomorrow, and there’d be a whopping fallout. But what makes the pipeline plan hard to stomach, for a mushy-middle guy like me, is that climate change is not addressed anywhere. And really, Kinder Morgan, I don’t expect you to address climate change. As I’m sure you’d be the first to admit, that’s not your job. But the lack of any plan — that is your problem. It’s why I’m opposed to your plans. And, I suspect, why many people are. Pipeline expansion, the Alberta oil sands, and many other carbon-intensive projects will face an increasing opposition if Canada doesn’t start making some smart steps toward a post-carbon future. I’d like to see a whole raft of smart, small steps. Put a levy on the oil and gas industry that’s earmarked for incentive projects for a cleaner Canada. Give me a $5,000 rebate to buy an electric car. A $1,000 rebate to put a geothermal system in my house. Give my region a couple billion dollars for another SkyTrain line (or two). So Kinder Morgan, I’m not sure what you can do. Maybe you could give the folks in Ottawa a nudge. Wake them up. Spur them to action. Sincerely, A Constituent You Might Need — Chris Bryan, Burnaby NewsLeader

Pipeline support Editor: Would B.C. be better or worse off if the Northern Gateway project were approved? Being a B.C. resident, I have pondered the thought of this pipeline coming through our beloved province. Would there be measures put in place to ensure safe transportation of crude oil? Are the economic benefits going to benefit the many ordinary taxpaying citizens of B.C.? With unemployment a concern, the project will open up many new job opportunities for B.C. residents. The company’s caption of “work safe, not harder” goes to show it believes it’s important that everyone returns home safe to their loved ones. This gives reassurance that the employees of Enbridge will be treated well, with the right to refuse unsafe work. Enbridge has proved that it is a world-class company and are well-established. Enbridge is in no rush to start its multibillion dollar project, and by taking every precaution needed to meet all the requirements in an environmentally safe and sustainable way, it will be able to preserve B.C.’s sought-after environmental beauty. I feel confident that the Northern Gateway project will be both beneficial and profitable for B.C and its residents. SASKIA GOODACRE, LANGLEY

Blame sewer plant Editor: I am a resident of Walnut Grove, living near 204 Street and 94B Avenue. I also have a business at Telegraph Trail and 192 Street. The odour reffered to in the article (The Times, Dec. 11) is most definitely the sewage plant. Our factory was evacuated due to a possible gas smell, and when Fortis arrived they said it was the sewage plant “burping” occasionally. Coincidentally, my business deals with ozone generators which are used for wastewater treatment and smells, but that’s besides the point. I have one major concern about this smell, other than the fact it is terribly foul and annoying. My wife several times was worried there was a gas leak in the house, and worried about our newborn son. I assured her, don’t worry it is just the stupid sewage plant. A few days later the smell cleared up, yet in the house there was still a smell. It turned out we did indeed have a gas leak in the house. so the question now in my mind is, what happens when people ignore all those signs we have been trained to spot about gas leaks, because now we falsely assume it is the sewage plant. I believe this is a life-threatening safety issue. My house didn’t explode or anything, but I can imagine it isn’t good for us to be breathing gas for several days, let alone a newborn baby. I don’t know who to write to about this. I would like to highlight this safety concern and bring it to the public’s attention. J. STUCHLIK, LANGLEY

An aerial view of Trinity Western University taken several years ago shows the campus amidst the rural area where it is situated, and adjacent to the Salmon River.

Trinity Western University subject of discrimination Editor: Tolerance and equality are an important part of our Canadian culture, and that is a good thing. We need a society that allows us the freedom to speak, the freedom to associate together, and the freedom to live our lives based on our faith. However, these freedoms are being targeted right now, and by two groups that we would think would fight the hardest for them: The Law Society of B.C., and the provincial government. The advanced education minister, Amrik Virk, has now revoked his decision on allowing Trinity Western University to open up a law school. Why? Simply because of the pressure of the law society, who ironically, say it is about equality. My question is, equal for whom? Are they really saying that TWU cannot have a law school simply because the students who attend there voluntarily sign a community covenant? Don’t lawyers swear an oath themselves and agree to uphold the rights and freedoms of all people? It doesn’t work if they only pick the ones they agree with. If it’s only based on the content of that covenant, I ask this question: How can the law society say TWU is dis-

criminating, when the society itself is doing exactly that? It seems to me the law society has forgotten what freedom of religion and freedom of association really means. Now Bank of Montreal and over 70 other large companies are jumping on board and declaring that they will not do business with any law firm that does not practice diversity. I wonder if they are diverse enough to hire a graduate from TWU? What about undergraduates from TWU who are now lawyers or doctors, or someone who graduated with a nursing or teaching degree? Do they also fall under this umbrella? Will these people refuse to be treated by a doctor or nurse who went to Trinity? Or maybe those companies will bar Christians from doing business with them at all. If we don’t wake up and realize that these lawyers are being discriminatory under the guise of “equality,” we could very well be headed towards a society where no one is really free.

Several drivers caught during weekend CounterAttack stops MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Several motorists travelling in Langley will likely not enjoy their Christmas as much, after being caught for impaired driving over the weekend. After a series of CounterAttack checks, 13 were found to be impaired, with 10 of them receiving the maximum 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition. Langley RCMP were out doing CounterAttack on Friday and Saturday and handed out three threeday driving prohibitions, which means the people not only lose the use of their vehicle but also pay several hundred dollars in fines and reinstatement fees for their driverâ€™s license. Ten individuals received 90-day prohibitions.Â Â â€œRather than spending their hard earned money on Christmas presents, they will be responsible for fines and fees to the tune of several thousand dollars,â€? said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. In addition, their vehicles have been impound-

ed for 30 days. New drivers are reminded they can have no alcohol in their system when operating a motor vehicle.Â If these new drivers are found to have been drinking and driving, they are subject to an immediate prohibition and possibly a later prohibition by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles for violating the conditions of their license. There are alternatives â€” arrange a designated driver, call a taxi, take transit or use Operation Red Nose. On average, 86 people die every year in crashes involving impaired driving. Police across the province will be looking for impaired drivers at CounterAttack roadchecks throughout December. Langley RCMP have more roadblocks planned. â€œI encourage everyone to watch out for their friends and family.Â Letâ€™s make sure they arenâ€™t making a very poor or potentially life altering decision,â€? said Langley RMCP Supt. Murray Power.

The Christmas Festival is one way to foster close-knit relationships within the community. The event was a fun, festive and family-friendly afternoon.

It provided entertainment, such as performances by local pop star Cole Armour, holiday choirs from Willougby Elementary and Richard Bulpitt Elementary, and Xtreme Talent Dance Company; as well as other activities such as a horse and carriage ride, gingerbread house competition, a stable-themed petting zoo, photos with Santa and the Ice Queen, and plenty of food vendors. Guests were invited to participate in a food drive benefiting Source Food Bank in Langley. Many businesses came together to sponsor the event, including Willoughby Town Centre retailers G&F Financial Group, RBC Royal Bank, Hakam’s Your Independent Grocer, and Shoppers Drug Mart.

Each of the retailers is dedicated to keeping Willoughby Town Centre a bustling hub for both business and social gatherings, and was extremely enthusiastic about helping boost the atmosphere of the Christmas Festival. “Willoughby Town Centre was built with the vision of being a community gathering hub, and so we remain dedicated to seeing it thrive with sense of community at heart. The holidays are the perfect time to see everyone come together and so the Christmas Festival is our way of encouraging this, and giving back for the support we have been shown over the past year,” said Carter. He said it is hoped this will become an annual event.

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP! As Christmas approaches, we ask that you remember the Langley Senior Resources Society in your holiday plans. An important aspect of the joyous holiday season is to take time to reflect on the blessings in your life. These could include family, friends, nutritious food, and physical and mental health. Another important part of the holidays is to recognize that not everyone is as fortunate and to help those who are not.

Over 1400 seniors enjoyed our recreation activities and clubs. We provided 1200 rides for seniors Over 800 seniors were provided with resources and Outreach support.

iPads has positive impact at ACSS

ALDERGROVE ROTARY CONTRIBUTED $4,000 TO PURCHASE 10 TABLETS FOR SCHOOL

LIMITED MODEL SHOWN

On Nov. 21, Vanessa Ayley, a resource teacher at Aldergrove Community Secondary School, updated the Aldergrove Rotary Club on the success of the school’s iPad Project for at-risk students and thanked the club members for their financial support. “The iPads have been a welcome addition to each of our unique programs at ACSS,” Ayley said. “They have helped to better engage our at-risk students and allowed them more independence in their learning journeys.” More than one-third of the students at ACSS are attached to the school’s at-risk programs. Students with special needs are very capable students. They do, however, have additional challenges including being visually impaired, having a learning disability, dealing with behavioral, emotional and/or social issues that need a more flexible alternate learning setting, or being part of the international program, which means they need extra language support. Using the many assistive technology apps in the iPads, special education assistants work closely with these students, enabling them to improve their literacy skills, (reading, writing, math) build self-confidence and become enthusiastically engaged in their education. Earlier this year, the Aldergrove Rotary Club donated $4,000, which enabled the school to purchase the 10 iPads that are now providing so much help to at-risk students. “We are committed to making Aldergrove a better place in which to live,” said club president Lee Sawatsky. “What better way than by supporting the special needs of our students. “ The Aldergrove Rotary Club meets Friday mornings at 7:10 at The White Spot, 264 Street and Fraser Highway. New members are welcome.

About 70 cadets from 2277 (Langley) Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps Seaforth Highlanders held their Ortona Christmas dinner on Dec. 4 at the Cloverdale Legion. During the Second World War, nearly 1,400 Canadian soldiers died in the ruins of Ortona, Italy, in an eight-day battle dubbed Little Stalingrad, before the Germans were routed on Dec. 28, 1943.

A Langley resident played a prominent role at the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada’s annual Ortona Dinner being celebrated at their temporary home in Jericho Garrison in Vancouver. Grace Madill, 81, of Sidney and her daughter Carol Madill of Langley gave an important memento of the First World War to the regiment at the annual dinner. They gave Grace’s father, Company Sergeant Major George Hilton Soles’ Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) (two bars), which he received for outstanding gallantry in action during the First World War. It will be preserved and dis-

played in the Seaforth museum. George Soles enlisted with The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada in Victoria in 1915, and went on to fight with exceptional bravery. winning the DCM three times. He was the only Canadian ever to do so. The DCM was the second-highest award for valour given, and is directly below the Victoria Cross. Each Christmas, the Seaforth Highlanders gather to mark the Battle of Ortona during the Second World War, and cadets sponsored by the Seaforths do the same (see photo). On Dec. 24, 1943, Captain Cameron of the Seaforth High-

landers of Canada and his men arranged an elaborate dinner in a church in the embattled town of Ortona. With white table cloths, soup, pork and Christmas pudding, each soldier also received a bottle of beer, fruits, nuts, candies and cigarettes. In order to maintain their aggressive advance, individual companies ate dinner in rotations, each enjoying the festive celebration and then returning to the front to relieve the next. This set forth the foundation for an annual tradition that is maintained to this day, and the dinner menu is much the same as the Second World War original.

John Horgan talks LNG, climate and farmland Following are highlights from Tom Fletcher’s year-end interview with NDP leader John Horgan. For an extended version, see the Opinion section at langleytimes.com. TF: The B.C. Liberal government has given every indication they’re going to proceed with the Site C dam on the Peace River. What do you think? JH: I’ve always maintained that it’s a good project, but it’s a question of when to add another $8-9-10-12 billion onto the backs of ratepayers. First of all, go to the B.C. Utilities Commission and find out if this is the power you need and if this is the time to build it. The government refuses to do that, and I think that’s just an Achilles heel in this process. TF: You voted for the liquefied natural gas income tax to provide certainty, and then you immediately said you would work to increase the LNG tax in 2017, before any major project could be started. How is that certainty? JH: I thought it was important that the investment community in this sector knew there was bipartisan support for LNG in British Columbia. But we went from a seven per cent [tax] to a 3.5 per cent because of a softening market. If there is a decline in return to the province because of a softening market, then surely over a 25-year period – not just be-

public notice Input Sought on Township’s Kinder Morgan Concerns The Township of Langley continues to seek the public’s input on its concerns regarding Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project and will accept comments until Friday, January 9, 2015. The Township of Langley has been granted corporate intervener status in the Kinder Morgan pipeline hearing and is preparing to submit its second information request to the National Energy Board. For more information, visit tol.ca/pipelineinput. If approved, the project would see the pipeline twinned by locating a portion of new pipeline within the existing corridor up to 217A Street and creating a new pipeline corridor for the remainder. In August 2014, Kinder Morgan revised its corridor alignment to run through or around Redwoods Golf Course and through the industrial part of North West Langley toward Port Kells.

Province urged to cut tolls on Port Mann during Pattullo Bridge work OLDER BRIDGE IS FREE ALTERNATIVE BUT MAINTENANCE BRINGS ‘PROBLEM’ JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Transportation Minister Todd Stone is being urged to reduce or eliminate the tolls on the Port Mann Bridge while maintenance work restricts the use of the Pattullo Bridge for months or even years. The Pattullo is supposed to be the free alternative to the Port Mann but it will become more difficult to use if there are frequent lane closures during next year’s planned $100-million upgrade, Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman said. “We’ve asked if the tolls on the Port Mann could be suspended or reduced,” Huberman said. “If the Pattullo Bridge only has one lane open, that’s going to present a problem. “We just want to give people options to move across the bridge without it costing too much.” The seismic rehabilitation and deck replacement of the 76-year-old bridge is expected to begin in early 2015 but TransLink officials contacted

We’ve faced pretty negative consequences with the high tolls on the Port Mann Bridge and the Pattullo being the free alternative. JONATHAN COTÉ

Tuesday were unable to say how long the project will last. Newly elected New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Coté said he also supports reduced or suspended Port Mann tolls during Pattullo construction. New Westminster council has previously called for lower tolls on the Port Mann to reduce truck use of the free Pattullo, or else an outright ban on trucks there. “We’ve faced pretty negative consequences with high tolls on the Port Mann Bridge and the

Pattullo being the free alternative,” Coté said, noting the toll for trucks is $9 each way. “It’s delivered a lot of traffic that should be on the highway network into our road network.” Stone could not be reached for comment. The Pattullo rehabilitation would be the minimum required to ensure it remains safe while work proceeds to design and build a modern new four-lane bridge, expected to open in 2023. Although the bridge replacement is listed as part of Metro Vancouver mayors’ package of projects expected to go to referendum next spring, TransLink officials have previously said they plan to rebuild the Pattullo even if the referendum fails. The new four-lane Pattullo would be tolled to pay for its construction. The existing span is considered critical for goods movement but is at risk of being knocked out of service by a moderate earthquake or a ship collision.

PST hike for transit may push shoppers east

JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

A 0.5 per cent additional sales tax levied just in Metro Vancouver would spur more consumers to shop outside the region, raising questions over how the proposed tax will be implemented. So-called â€œleakageâ€? of spending east to the Fraser Valley or south to the U.S. is a concern, Metro mayors admit, and is likely to be most acute for businesses in areas close to the TransLink boundaries â€“Â Langley, Maple Ridge and South Surrey. â€œOne group that should be in favour is the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce,â€? said Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. â€œThey should be popping champagne corks right now. The Bellingham Chamber of Commerce should be over the moon.â€? The proposed tax will go to a regional referendum in the spring if the province consents. Metro board chair Greg Moore questions how many residents would spend 30 minutes extra in traffic to save $5 on a $1,000

new TV. But the extra half point PST would add $175 to the cost of a $35,000 car and New Car Dealers Association of B.C. president Blair Qualey says that could be enough to push some business out of the region. â€œEven a half point can make a difference competitively if youâ€™re on one side of the line or not,â€? he said. â€œPeople will drive down to the U.S. to save $3 on a brick of cheese or carton of milk.â€? He said the PST hike, if approved, would be a particular blow to several new luxury car dealerships that have just been built in Langley by dealers unaware such a tax was coming. Qualey also wonders if the tax would will be tacked on to the private vehicle sales tax on used cars. Heâ€™d like vehicle purchases to be exempted altogether from any new sales tax for transit and will raise that with the province. â€œThe devilâ€™s in the details and we donâ€™t know whether itâ€™s well thought out or sound or anything

at this point,â€? he said, adding car dealers havenâ€™t been consulted. Mayors council chair Richard Walton said a blanket exemption for vehicles is one option that may be considered. Alternatively, he said, Metro Vancouverites might be charged the new tax on vehicles based on their residency, forcing them to pay the extra half point even if they buy in the Fraser Valley. â€œThatâ€™s up for the province to decide,â€? Walton said. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said leakage is a concern for businesses in areas such as Langley, adding the province needs to consider how to address those concerns. â€œThere will be impacts no matter which source you go with,â€? Stone said. The tax would make Metro Vancouver the first region in Canada where residents pay more sales tax than the rest of their province. But other differential taxes in the region already distort business. Most notorious is the 17 cent a

litre TransLink gas tax, which creates an added incentive for some motorists to fill up in the U.S. and cross-border shop at the same time. A regional carbon tax â€“Â which also had been under consideration but was rejected â€“Â would have had much the same effect. Metro mayors decided the 0.5 per cent sales tax was the fairest way to raise the required $250 million per year, estimating it will cost the average household $125 annually. One advantage of using the sales tax is it also captures some spending by tourists and other visitors from elsewhere in B.C., reducing the burden on locals. Fraser Valley residents going to a Canucks game or Vancouver Islanders coming for a concert will all contribute. An annual levy of $170 on every registered vehicle was also considered and rejected, because its estimated impact on the average household was higher â€“Â $230 per year â€“Â and was seen as unfairly punishing just one group of users: drivers.

Families with two or more vehicles would have paid more than average, likely hitting households in areas with poor transit service the hardest. Raising the PST half a point is estimated to cost the poorest households less than $50 annually. That lower estimate is because existing PST exemptions â€“Â including food, shelter, kidsâ€™ clothes and medicine â€“ would also apply on the sales tax increase for transit. The typical Metro Vancouver home already pay $250 a year in property tax to TransLink, on top of municipal property taxes, and mayors refuse to rely more heavily on that source. They do still aim to pursue a road pricing system over the longer term that would reform the current practice of tolling one new bridge at a time. The PST increase would, if approved by voters, take effect around April 2016. The referendum requires a 50 per cent plus one majority across the region to pass.

most important kitchen choices you will make, and it’s a decision that will affect your daily life for many years to come. Kitchen Design According to the National Kitchen & Experts Bath Association, we can make a simple comparison between the most popular sink choices. A large, single sink – Versatility is best! You can work with your biggest pots and pans or prep large quantities of food. However, washing an item while soaking another becomes challenging. Two basins of different sizes – Flexibility is the key! You can perform separate tasks with ease. The 60/40 sink is designed for cleaning in the large basin and prepping in the smaller one. Equal size basins – For people loving symmetry. The features are similar to a 60/40 sink. There are more options like shapes, materials, etc. Talk with your designer to make the right choice for you!

a headache? Has someone sleeping next to you told you about the horrible grinding sound of your teeth at night? This condition is known as bruxism and this is an unconscious habit that many people suffer knowingly and unknowingly. If left untreated, then this constant grinding can lead to painful or loose teeth, wearingdown of your teeth, and pain or discomfort in your jaw joint (TMJ). Dr. Athar Butt BSc, DDS With this continued pressure on the teeth, tooth fracture is also Dentist quite common. The first step in treating bruxism is proper diagnosis by your dentist. Then a proper and customized treatment plan can be made for you. Night Guard - This guard is custom made for your teeth and is usually worn at night or whenever you notice yourself grinding/clenching. This isn’t a cure for bruxism, but it protects your teeth from wearing down and puts less stress on your muscles and joints. Stress - Can be a major cause for bruxism. Therefore, by reducing stress in your life can lead to a reduction in bruxism. Some easy ways of doing this is listening to music, reading a book, going for a walk or taking a nice warm bath. Your Bite - Changing the way your teeth fit together may also reduce your level of bruxism. Whenever there is a change in the way you bite, people tend to grind a lot more. This is why young children also grind their teeth frequently, because their adult teeth are coming in and their bite is also changing. For children, this is a temporary issue and usually resolves once their teeth position stabilizes. But for adults, changing their bite might be necessary. This can successfully be done by reducing high spots on certain teeth, new fillings, crowns or braces. As always, it’s is best to sit down with your dentist to discuss which option is best for you.

New look for Langley City Square B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A large shopping complex on the Langley Bypass will be getting a facelift and at least one major new retailer. On Monday night (Dec. 15), Langley City Council approved a development permit to refurbish six buildings at Langley City Square, 19868 Langley Bypass. The re-development will include both new construction and renovations to accommodate an unnamed anchor tenant in a 30,000 square foot space, as well as updates to facades on five existing buildings and construction of a sixth. The shopping centre currently includes Salvation Army Thrift Store and Princess Auto among its tenants. Built in the 1960s or ’70s, it has a dated look, said Barry Weih of Wensley Architecture, who presented the new design to council on Monday night. Among the planned changes are extensive improvements to facades on buildings fronting the Bypass, while buildings at the back of the property will get minor upgrades. Landscaping, consistent with a shopping centre environment, and in keeping with CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles will be

Special delivery from Urban Barn Thanks to the overwhelming support of the generous Langley, Surrey and Abbotsford communities, Candian furniture, home decor and accessories retailer Urban Barn was able to make a very special delivery to those in need at Surrey’s Gateway Shelter. Urban Barn achieved its goal in its third annual Blanket the Country in Warmth program and delivered 774 brand new fleece blankets to the Gateway Shelter in Surrey. The emergency shelter houses up to 22 men and eight women. ••• Langley’s Tybo Contracting Ltd. has won

the Deputy Minister’s contractor of the year award for bridges and structures. The company won for their work on the Cariboo Overpass and Gaglardi Way mobile weigh scale project in Burnaby. “This project is part of a busy transportation system and it’s important we keep it safe and efficient for all users,” said Todd Stone, the minister of transportation and infrastructure. “This family-based start-up company is an inspiration to the industry and this Deputy Minister’s award is well-deserved,” said Langley MLA Mary Polak.

The idea, Weih said, is to create a “consistent, unified architectural expression” among the buildings. Following the presentation, Councillor Dave Hall commented that even though a dedicated left-turn lane has been added on Highway 10, the regular gridlock of traffic backing up from the lights at 200

Street will create problems for drivers. That’s particularly concerning, he said, since one goal of the redevelopment is to attract more shoppers. Mayor Ted Schaffer recused himself from both the Committee of the Whole discussion and the vote, held during the regular meeting, because the developer, Wesgroup Properties, was among his campaign contributors.

Langley groups the recipients of Coast Capital Savingsâ€™ grants A pair of Langley charities are the recipients of grant investments through Coast Capital Savingsâ€™ Youth Leaders Community Council. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langleyâ€™s Teen In-School Mentoring program and the Fraser Region Community Justice Initiatives with the Education for Peacebuilding-Restorative Action in Schools program are among the grant recipients. Altogether, more than $440,000 is being invested in local organizations in the Fraser Valley, helping more than 110,000 young people.

The grants, up to $30,000 each, are awarded through a unique â€œfor youth, by youthâ€? process led by the Fraser Valley YLCC, one of three regional Coast Capital youth councils. The councils were created as part of Coast Capitalâ€™s community promise to build a richer future for youth. Each YLCC is made up of eight young volunteer leaders from the community and Coast Capital savings, all 30 years old or younger. The teams are mentored throughout their duration on the councils, enabling them to develop critical leadership

skills. In turn, they help to manage the community giving program, and base granting decisions on specific criteria aligned with Coastâ€™s four areas of youth focus: education, family and social connections, financial well-being, and health. â€œWe were overwhelmed with both the number of applications we received and the amazing community work that is being done in the Fraser Valley,â€? said Zenaida Telfair, one of the members of the Fraser Valley YLCC. â€œWhile each organization that applied is doing great

things, the Fraser Valley YLCC believes the selected recipients go above and beyond in supporting our communityâ€™s youth.â€? â€œWe are looking forward to seeing the positive impacts our 2014 recipients will have on our community as a result of these community investments. These organizations are all great examples of community contributors that align with our â€œfor youth, by youthâ€? commitment, and we are delighted to support them,â€? said Coast Capital board member Robin Chakrabarti.

Clockwise from above: Kirk McLean, Cliff Ronning, Jyrki Lumme and Dave Babych, who all played key roles on the Vancouver Canucks run to the 1994 Stanley Cup finals, will be in Langley on Jan. 4 as part of the Vancouver Canucks alumni squad. The team will face off against the junior B Langley Knights in a charity game with proceeds going to Sophie’s Place.

Canucks alumni coming to Langley GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Just two members of the Langley Knights were alive during the Vancouver Canucks memorable run to the 1994 Stanley Cup finals. Of course, Blake Gorrill and Levi De Waal likely don’t remember much considering they were both just in the first few months of their lives and had yet to discover hockey. But the pair and the rest of their Knights teammates are getting set to suit up against some of the Canucks stars from

that ’94 squad, including forward Cliff Ronning, goaltender Kirk McLean, and defencemen Jyrki Lumme and Dave Babych. The junior B Knights will play the Canucks alumni squad at the George Preston Recreation Centre on Jan. 4. Also confirmed playing for the alumni team will be Garth Butcher and Garry Monahan. The team will be coached by Orland Kurtenbach — the team’s first captain — and Dennis Ververgaert. The game is being organized by John Craighead — the general manager and

coach of the Knights and a former pro hockey player himself, who also spent some time in the Canucks organization. Craighead also plays on the Canucks alumni team so he will turn over the coaching reigns to his assistants for the game, trading his jacket and tie for skates and a stick, Proceeds raised from the game will go to Sophie’s Place, a child advocacy centre, and the Centre for Child Development. “They have an unbelievable centre in Langley and Surrey,” Craighead said. “I love their cause.”

Helping children holds a special place in Craighead’s heart. His older sister Margaret, passed away in 1998 after a lengthy drug addiction battle. “She just got mixed up with the wrong crowd and unfortunately, she got hooked and didn’t get out in time,” Craighead explained. The Craighead family helped get Margaret’s two boys removed from her care. “We didn’t want them in that environment and she didn’t last much longer than Continued Page 37

Gold, silver, bronze for â€™Cats For the second week in a row, the Brookswood Bobcats have defeated a provincially-ranked opponent. The senior boys basketball team scored a 64-44 victory over the Charles Best Blue Devils in the finals of a tournament hosted over the weekend at Surreyâ€™s L.A. Matheson. The Blue Devils were an honourable mention in the most recent provincial Triple-A rankings.

Hall calls for Pells FORMER LANGLEY RESIDENT AMONG 2015 INDUCTION CLASS

GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Leah Pells has run all the way from Langley and into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. â€œIt is a really nice way to wrap up a career that I absolutely loved,â€? she said. â€œIt feels very complete. â€œIt is a huge honour for me (and) it is nice to be recognized for having something that I really, really loved, and still love.â€? On Friday, Pells was announced as part of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame 2015 induction class. The nine individuals and one team will be formally inducted into the Hall on May 28. Pells, who turned 50 last month, was born in Vancouver but moved to Langley when she was a young child. While living here, she was a part of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club. She left Langley at age 18, after graduating from Langley Secondary in 1982, and wound up

developing into one of Canadaâ€™s best-ever female middle distance runners. Pells represented Canada at three Olympic Games â€”Â Barcelona (1992), Atlanta (1996) and Sydney (2000) as well as six world championships. Some of her top results include a silver medal at the 1999 Pan Am Games and a fourth-place finish in the 1500m race in 1996, missing the podium by a mere half second. It was the best-ever finish for a North American woman in the event. Pells now lives in Coquitlam â€” she was inducted into the Coquitlam Sports Hall of Fame in 2011 â€” with her family. She also wrote a book â€” Not About The Medal â€”Â and works as a teacher and a motivational speaker. The book chronicles her tumultuous upbringing as the child of an alcoholic mother. Her mother passed away in 2004 from complications related to her addiction.

Stealth keeping busy with off-court moves START OF NLL SEASON JUST TWO WEEKS AWAY FOR LANGLEY SQUAD As the Vancouver Stealth get ready for the 2015 National Lacrosse League season on the floor, they are just as busy making news behind the scenes. Earlier this month, the Langley-based pro lacrosse club announced the appointment of Tewanee Joseph as its senior First Nations development advisor. Joseph is the CEO of Tewanee Consulting Group, a North Vancouver-based firm that works on a broad range of initiatives including First Nations federal legislation, land management, communications and governance. Since purchasing the team in 2007, Stealth management have embraced an inclusive spirit and respect for the roots of the Creator’s Game. Upon their relocation to the Lower Mainland in 2013, the Stealth have had a desire to work with Aboriginal youth in the region, but needed high-level guidance. “This was an important decision for the Stealth. We had to get it right,” said Stealth president and general manager Doug Locker. “I’ve known of Tewanee as a lacrosse player for years, but recently learned of the incredible work he’s done as a builder in bringing nations together. We have a lot of work to do and Tewanee’s guidance will be important to implementing our community outreach program. It’s a great honour to have a respected leader like Tewanee join us as a senior advisor.”

The team needs to have its roster finalized by today (Thursday) in advance of the NLL season, which begins Jan. 3. Visit www.langleytimes.com for more on the final roster. Joseph brings a unique perspective to the Stealth, as both a seasoned lacrosse player and cultural ambassador. Discussing his appointment, Joseph said, “I am proud to be part of the Vancouver Stealth and look forward to implementing our plans for meaningful engagement with First Nations, Aboriginal communities as well as people from all cultures. Lacrosse continues to grow at an incredible

speed and the National Lacrosse league represents the very best our game has to offer.” And the Stealth followed this up by signing a memorandum of understanding with the Squamish First Nation, with Joseph playing an instrumental role in bringing the two sides together. The signing, attended by Squamish Nation councillors, families, and invited

guests, along with Stealth executives and players, marks the beginning of a partnership in the development of a plan to promote and support the game of lacrosse to families and youth from the First Nation. The ceremony was marked by a prayer welcoming the Stealth to the Squamish Nation, and concluded with traditional drumming and song, autograph signings, a gift exchange, and a luncheon. The Stealth presented the Squamish Nation with two autographed jerseys, one of which will be displayed at the Chief Joe Mathias Centre, and the other is for the Squamish Nation chiefs and council. The Squamish Nation presented the Stealth with a hand-painted wooden piece by Squamish artist William Watts, which will be displayed at the Stealth office in the Langley Events Centre. Co-Chair of council, Chief Byron Joseph welcomed the Stealth in Skwxwú7mesh Snichim (Squamish language). “We are proud to stand together with our families and the Vancouver Stealth. Lacrosse has always been an important part of our community and is a healing game that has the power to bring people together,” he said. “We look forward to having our people at the games with our drums, cheering on our new lacrosse family.” “We are honoured to enter this relationship with the Squamish Nation. From the 1936 North Shore Indians inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame to some of the 2001 Presidents Cup winners present today, the people of the Squamish Nation can be proud of their champions. We hope to be equal to the task as role models,” said Stealth owner Denise Watkins, in discussing the rich lacrosse history of the Squamish Nation.

Softball, baseball could be back in Olympics for 2020 Games N IC K GREE N I Z A N Bl ack Pre s s

Nine years after having their Olympic dreams dashed, young softball players have a glimmer of hope that their sport will return to the world’s grandest stage. Earlier this month, during meetings of the International Olympic Committee, it was announced that softball and baseball would be considered for inclusion in the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. There are still hurdles to leap in order to get the sport back onto the Olympic docket, but “this is a very positive first step,” said Greg Timm, president of the White Rock Renegades Fastpitch Association and chairman of the Canadian Open Fastpitch Society. In a 2005 decision, softball and baseball were voted out of future Olympic Games by the IOC; the sports were last played at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. And it was only 15 months ago that softball was, again, denied entry into the 2020 and 2024 Olympics, instead finishing second in a vote that was won by wrestling – a

historic Olympic sport that was voted out briefly. “We knew that year that wrestling was going to get back in, as it should have. It never should’ve been taken out,” Timm said. The latest recommendation for softball and baseball’s inclusion back into the Olympics is part of a 40-point to rejuvenate interest in the Olympics, Timm said. The plan will be presented for official recommendation in March. If the two sports — to be presented as a package deal – are given the green light through that stage, they’ll go to a vote in the summer of 2015. Timm said the proposed changes — which also include allowing regions or entire countries to host Olympics, rather than individual cities — aim to give host sites more of a say in the sports that are played each Olympic Games. Tokyo organizers, for example, would love to see the inclusion of softball and baseball; the two sports are among the country’s most popular. Both are also television-friendly sports – an important consideration for the

that,” he said. This was at a time that Craighead was still trying to make his way in the pro game. His professional career went from 1992 to 2005 and includes five NHL games with the

IOC and its broadcast partners, Timm added. Timm said the eventual decision — one way or another — would not affect Surrey’s hosting of the 2016 Women’s World Fastpitch Championships, plans for which are humming along nicely, he said. In 2016, the world championships will, for one year, replace the Canadian Open, the annual event that brings together youth squads, and national teams, from all across the world. “We proceeded with our event with the thought that there would be no Olympic involvement, and softball is a viable sport with or without them,” he said. “But that said, when the Olympic winds are blowing, it raises the sport’s profile, and it gets more countries interested in coming to tournaments such as ours. It helps everywhere — with sponsors, with funding, with potential television exposure. “We’re very excited about the possibilities.” The potential re-introduction of softball into the Olympics should also help boost interest in the sport among

Toronto Maple Leafs. “I always figured if I could make the NHL, I could make good money and save her,” he said. “(But) you can’t save a victim of a disease like that unless they agree to help themselves.”

young people, Timm said. In 2005, the announcement that the two sports would be axed from future Olympics came in mid-July, as thousands of young softball players from around the world were playing at South Surrey’s Softball City in what was then the Canada Cup (now the Canadian Open). At the time, Ron Gallinger, then-program director of Canada’s national teams, told Black Press that the decision was “pretty heartbreaking” while a Renegades player at the time, Carly Moir, was among a handful of heartbroken Olympic hopefuls to the move “a real shame.” Should softball get back into the Games, it will give young local ballplayers the chance to follow in the footsteps of former South Surrey Olympians like Auburn Sigurdson, Melanie Matthews and Langley’s Danielle Lawrie. “We have some real talented athletes here who remain very involved with the national team — players like Sara Groenewegen. “It would be my hope that they still have that Olympic flame burning in their hearts,” Timm said.

Following his sister’s passing, Craighead and his wife Wendy, took in their nephews. Ryan is now 21 and Ian is 23. As for the game itself, fans will be treated to a pre-game meet-andgreet autograph session at 3:30 p.m. prior the 5 p.m. game. The

post-game banquet begins at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for the banquet ($40) are nearly sold out but there is still space for the game itself. Those tickets cost $10. Craighead was thankful for all those who have stepped

Following a 6-1 loss on home ice, and just 10 days away from their first game in Calgary at the Mac’s Tournament, a weekend off is what the Valley West Hawks are looking forward to. The Hawks split a two-game series with the Vancouver Canadians last weekend, winning 6-4 Saturday in Richmond before a one-sided 6-1 loss Sunday at the Langley Sportsplex. “This is actually a good time for a break,” said Valley West head coach Jessie Leung. “With us going to Mac’s, this is a small pocket for our players to get family time.” At 13-7-4 (won-lost-tied) this season, Valley West will go into the Christmas break in fifth place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League, as the two points from the two games last weekend ensures the Hawks won’t lose ground when they enjoy a bye next weekend. Valley West erased a two-goal deficit in the first period Saturday, the pulled away with a threegoal third period for the win. James Malm of Langley and White Rock defenceman Matt Barberis scored first period goals for Valley West, tying score 2-2 after 20 minutes. Barberis scored again in the first minute of the second period, and the Canadians replied just before the second intermission to knot the score 3-3. Barberis completed his hat trick midway through the third period, then after the Canadians tied the score 4-4, Christian Bosa of Langley netted the winning goal with nine minutes to play. Malm then scored into an empty net, with Barberis collecting his second assist and fifth point. Malm, Justin De Vos of Surrey, and Ben Evanish of White Rock each had a pair of assists. “I thought we controlled the game from start to finish,” said Leung. “The few chances we gave up were Grade-A and they cashed in to keep it close. And I thought the ref did an exceptional job controlling the game.” Sunday’s game got out of hand at times, as the Hawks were assessed 107 penalty minutes to just 54 for the Canadians, which led to four power play goals for the Vancouver team. “It was tough to get any sort of rhythm in the game with all the penalties.” said Leung. There were a lot of 10-minute misconducts were assessed, so you had players in the box for over 14 minutes at a time.” The Hawks coach suggested the players had to shoulder some of the blame for all the time spent in the penalty box. “I’d like to see our team be tougher psychologically,” he explained. “I think what we saw was a frustrated team taking exception to cheap shots, and getting caught on retaliation.” Evanish scored the lone goal for the Hawks, the first of the game. Valley West trailed 2-1 after the first period and 5-1 after the second. After taking next weekend off, the Hawks travel to Calgary for the 25-team Mac’s, which features the top Midget (15-17) teams from across Western Canada as well as elite teams of 15-17 year-olds from Ontario, the United States and Europe. Valley West has been placed in a five-team group that includes the German U17 national team and “some very good” Alberta squads. “I’m expecting our team to play desperate hockey as this is a tournament where a single mis step can cost you a playoff spot,” said Leung, noting only eight teams will qualify for the playoffs. “Through it all, I hope this is a team building experience for us.” up, which includes 24 sponsors, and an abundance of silent auction items.

could b be YOUR car! T ar This This could be YOUR car!

Yes, winter weather has arrived early this year, but there are some clever new products available designed to make life with an auto less stressful and safer in sub-zero temperatures. Ranging in price from $9.99 to $159.99 these products could also be a great Christmas gift for just about anyone who drives. Working with its suppliers, Canadian Tire has helped develop some new auto products that address winter driving problems. They’re as basic as scratch-proof snow and ice removal tool that’s easier on your car’s paintwork to a compact and lightweight emergency traction aid that could be a life-saver. The Garant EVA Snowbrush has a bristle-free brush with a foam head that’s less abrasive on vehicle paintwork. It addresses the negative feedback from customers about conventional snowbrushes and it’s sold in two sizes. The Bob McHugh 28-inch brush retails for $15.99 and the 36-inch brush retails for $19.99. Getting stuck in a friend’s snow-covered driveway can be embarrassing, getting stuck on the side of a lonely highway is far more serious! The Trac Grabber Car Traction Aid ($39.99) is not a replacement for conventional chains, as it’s not intended for highway driving use. Easy to use and quick fitting, this traction aid is also far lighter and easier to store in a vehicle than tire chains. A truck version ($49.99) of the Trac Grabber Car Traction Aid is also available. Sold in pairs, a Trac Grabber is attached to each drive wheel, similar to a tire chain (but is much easier to use). It’s designed to supply provide enough traction to release a car (stuck in snow or mud) and get it back on the highway (where it should be removed). Another good auto safety gift idea is the MotoMaster Eliminator Tripod Light ($29.99). This multi-function light has an articulating head with red LED emergency light and fold-put tripod legs that extend for additional stability when placed on the road to warn drivers that they are approaching a broken-down vehicle. It also features a powerful lithium-ion rechargeable battery.

Genius Mini Booster

Good vision when driving is very important in cold weather. If you have to park you’re vehicle outside overnight, the Subzero ArcticGuard Snow and Ice Windshield Cover ($9.99) is an inexpensive investment. A hook system secures it inside the car, however, users do complain about it flapping in strong winds. You may also consider upgrading your current headlights to SilverStar Ultra Lights ($59.99). They promise up to 50 percent brighter light with up to 40 percent more down-road illumination than standard halogen lights. New wiper blades can also make a big improvement in driver vision and a set of Bosch Icon Wipers cost from $24.99 to $25.99. This premium dual-rubber synthetic product claims to last 40 per cent longer than other blades. If you have a fear of running out of fuel, or a friend who does it regularly or you simply want a peace-of-mind back-up supply of gas for a long driving trip, Spare Fuel ($19.99) is a non-flammable gasoline derivative that is safe to store in the trunk. It’s safe to use in all engines that use unleaded gasoline, comes with filler tube and it can be stored in your vehicle all-yearround. The most common winter auto emergency is a dead battery. Yes, you could carry a set of jumper cables and hope that you can get a boost from another vehicle, but that’s not always easy or possible. Another solution is the Noco Genius Mini Booster, GB30 ($159.99). It may seem a little pricey, but this compact yet surprisingly powerful lithium-ion jump starter pack is mistake-proof and multi-functional. Offering 400 peak amps it can provide up to seven jump-starts on a single charge. It’s also a seven-mode LED flashlight and it can be used as a portable recharge (USB) dock for other electronic devices. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

BRUCE WILLIAM YATES May 6, 1960 – December 9, 2014

WARD, Geraldine (Gerry) nee: Wartnow Gerry passed away peacefully in Surrey on December 8th, 2014 at the age of 85. Gerry was born in Yahk, B.C. to her predeceased parents, Alexander and Hilda Wartnow while moving from Stettler to Surrey, B.C. She was a professional cake decorator for 30+ years and a long-time member of the Daughters of the Nile. She had been on 49 sea cruises which were included in her busy and fulfilled happy life. She is survived by her loving husband Allan and son Dan as well as her brother Floyd (Wartnow) and sister Eileen (Donnelly) and their respective children. We will all miss her active and happy demeanor. A Memorial Service will be held in her honour on Saturday, January 17th, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at Fraser Heights Funeral Home, 14835 Fraser Hwy., Surrey, B.C. In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Shrine Children’s Hospital and / or to the Parkinson’s Society.

It is with extraordinary sadness that we say, “Bruce is gone from us”. For 54 short years, he graced us with his presence but on December 9th, following his usual morning routine, he suffered cardiac arrest and despite efforts to bring him back to us, he could not be saved. Left broken hearted, Kathy will forever hold her husband in her heart and as time goes by, not one day will pass without a favourite memory. Bruce was the quintessential father to Gordon (Nina), Michelle and Emily – his joy and spirit will continue to guide them. Bruce was a young and loving grandfather to Logan and Damon – they were the icing on the cake for him. For parents Ron and Marilyn Yates and in-laws Bruce and Jackie McKay, letting go of a child is the worst thing that could happen to them and their hearts are darkened by sorrow. Siblings Carolynne (Dan), Kelly (Joanne), Brenda (Neil), Leah (Jamie) and Lindsey are bewildered at the new landscape without their brother. Sisters-in-law Kelly (Mike), Kor (Brian) and Kris (Franklin) are equally shocked. This week, eighteen nieces and nephews are without their Uncle Bruce – hard to believe. As we all try to comprehend this new world without Bruce, there are many good things to remember, many great memories to share. A kind and gentle man that never had a bad word to say about anyone. A loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, friend and co-worker, there are so many people that are reeling and struggling to come to terms with what has happened. If you were lucky enough to know him, then you probably loved him - we surely did. We would like to thank Mike who was the first to jump in to try and help Bruce and the paramedics who worked so hard to try to bring him back to life. Words cannot express our gratitude. To all of the kind people at LMH who helped our family through a very difficult day and for giving us the time and space to say our goodbyes, thank you are the only words we have and they seem inadequate. A service will be held to celebrate a great guy Saturday, December 20th at 1 p.m. at the Kwantlen Cultural Centre 23905 Gabriel Lane, Fort Langley.
