Victim’s purse refocuses search for suspect MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es

Shelley and Ray Murphy told Langley Township council it isn’t fair to force them to pay for a water hook-up they don’t need, based on a tie vote of residents.

Tie goes to the Township D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

Some residents who objected to a proposed water service connection have learned a tie vote means yes in the Township of Langley — and every other B.C. municipality. Even though the Township sent out letters saying more than 50 per cent of property owners would have to vote for a costly hookup to a new municipal water line to approve it, it turns out the provincial laws say something else. It was the second poll of the residents of 52 Avenue between 237 and 240 Streets about connecting to the under-construction East Langley Water Supply line. The first vote was more than 50 per cent in favour, but it was thrown out after residents Shelley Murphy and Ray Murphy pointed out five of the responses were filed on or after the deadline date. The written Township notice said the voting forms must be filed “before June 12, 2013,” not “on or before,” the

usual wording used in Township documents. The Murphys said the proposal should be considered defeated. Township staff did not agree. On their recommendation, council ordered another vote. Before the second vote in August, the Township sent out a July 17 notice that “more than” 50 per cent of property owners would have to vote yes for the hookup to be approved. The vote was a tie, with 20 owners voting for and 20 voting against. A Sept. 13 Township letter said that was actually a win for the hookup because the Community Charter, the provincial regulation that governs such votes, says “at least” 50 per cent must vote yes for approval. “That’s not fair,” Shelley Murphy told council. “It should have been a failed vote the first time and it should be a failed vote this time.” She said her family doesn’t need the hookup because it has a well. Murphy said the decision will sad-

dle them with a taxes-included bill of about $30,000 that will have to be repaid over 20 years. Another resident, Mike Parker, supported the Murphys, calling the cost of the water connection “unbelievable.” A third speaker, Ken Kostiuk, expressed support for the hookup, saying the cost will be balanced out by savings on electricity and maintenance for his well pump. Resident Bob Sangha said having grown up in a village with no water, he supports the improvement. “We can’t stop progress,” Sangha said. Mayor Jack Froese said while it was “unfortunate” that letters had been sent out suggesting it would take more than 50 per cent, the regulations are clear. “The charter is the law of the land,” Froese said. The hookup was approved by council by a 7-2 margin, with Councillors Kim Richter and Michelle Sparrow opposed.

One month after a 19-year-old woman was raped and robbed in the trails behind Douglas Park, the victim’s purse, with all her identification inside ,was dropped off on the steps of the Langley City Community Police Office. Sometime overnight from Sept. 23 to 24, the purse was left at the front door of the Langley City CPO, said police spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. The CPO co-ordinator retrieved the purse, located the ID and realized it belonged to the sexual assault victim from August. The City CPO, at 204 Street and Douglas Crescent, isn’t far from where the teen was sexually assaulted. Serious Crime investigators are continuing to follow up on the nearly 300 tips received relating to the two sexual assaults that took place this summer in June and August. Once the sketch created by the second victim’s description was released, police quickly realized they were likely dealing with one suspect for both sexual assaults. On June 22, a 16-year-old girl was waiting for a bus in Brookswood when a man pulled up in a silver hatchback and ordered her to get in. He drove her to the Christian Life Assembly parking lot where he sexually assaulted her at knifepoint. He then dropped her off at the Logan Avenue bus loop. Then on Aug. 20, around 8 p.m., a 19-year-old was walking near Douglas Park when she was attacked from behind, pushed to the ground and raped at knifepoint. The suspect then took her purse and iPod before fleeing on a bicycle. During the attack he wore swimming goggles. Police say the purse will be examined by the Forensic Identification team in an attempt to locate evidence that will assist police in determining the identity of the suspect. Police would very much like to speak with the individual who located the purse, said Marks. “The return of the purse generates many more questions, such as: Where was the purse found? When was the purse found? Was it given to the individual to turn in? If so, by who? These questions don’t even scratch the surface,” she said. Police are asking the public if they may have seen the purse being left at the CPO. If you observed the drop-off, call Langley RCMP and provide whatever information you can to help with the investigation. There have been no new reports of incidents involving this suspect, said police. The suspect is described as Caucasian, 50 years old, six feet tall, heavy build, balding with greyblond hair, pale blue eyes and a full beard. If you have any information about this purse or this suspect call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

The road that runs past R.E. Mountain Secondary school will get an asphalt curb, possibly painted yellow, along with improvements to street lighting. Langley Township council approved the improvements to the shoulder of 202A Street between 74 and 80 Avenues on Monday, by a unanimous vote. Work could begin as soon as January. Councillor Charlie Fox, who has been lobbying for some kind of “safe, yet temporary” measure to make the road safer, convinced his colleagues to add $20,000 to the $30,000 budget proposed by staff. Fox said the additional money would allow staff to add other safety measures such as speed bumps. Parent Dan Hunter, who created a Facebook page (RE Mountain Student Safety Now) to press for improvements, was happy with the news, but said more will need to be done. “I don’t think that $50,000 is enough, still, but it’s a start,” Hunter said. “We know in the long term, major changes have to be made.” Hunter said street lighting must be upgraded because during the dark days of fall, students are going to classes before sunrise. “It’s pitch black,” Hunter said. Currently there is no physical barrier separating the R.E. Mountain students who walk to school from road traffic, only a painted white line on the pavement shoulder. At more than 1,100 pupils, the school has the second-largest student population in the Langley school district. Parents and members of R.E. Mountain Secondary’s PAC have been campaigning for improvements to student pedestrian safety since March of last year, citing several near-misses with cars. A staff report to council said a review found no collisions involving pedestrians along the section of 202A Street that runs from 74 Avenue to 80 Avenue. At the time 202A was built in 1986, the Township staff report said it met the standards for existing traffic by providing one lane for vehicle travel in each diction as well as a paved shoulder for cyclists and pedestrians. Eventually, Township plans for the area call for widening the road. The expansion to four lanes, along with side-

A raised curb like this will be placed along 202A Street, where R.E. Mountain students walk to and from school. walks is a response to increased traffic caused by the continuing surge in nearby new home construction, as well as the impact of the nearby Langley Events Centre. But that can’t happen until the Township has an agreement with the property owners and that will take time to negotiate, unless the Township forces the issue by expropriating the land. Councillor Kim Richter wondered if a curb would be enough, calling it “a little hump that a car could drive over.” It is the most practical quick fix, said Ramin Seifi, the Township general manager of engineering and community development, who described the alternatives as either “much more expensive, contradictory to existing policies or impractical.” When Councillor David Davis asked about bringing in three-foot high temporary cement barriers often used on road construction projects, Seifi said at a cost of $100 a metre, that option would run about $120,000. Mayor Jack Froese called the interim safety measures “a step in the right direction.” - with files from Monique Tamminga

$100,000 for maternity campaign

inexpensive indulgence

MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Langley Memorial Hospital Dr. David Chapman said the best part of his job is delivering babies. The worst part of his job is telling a woman in labour that she can’t deliver her baby in Langley because the maternity ward is full. “Last week we had a very full maternity ward,” said Chapman. “Two ladies in labour came in to deliver their babies and there was nowhere to put them. The prospect was to send them to Chilliwack.” Instead, the maternity ward staff scrambled and moved two women, who had just delivered babies, to recovery rooms so the ward could accommodate the women in labour. This all points to the vital need for the new and expanded maternity ward currently under construction at LMH. The “Vandekerkhove Family Maternity Centre” got a healthy boost from family-run Langley Chrysler on Tuesday. Langley Chrysler presented a cheque for $100,000 to the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation’s “It All Starts Here” campaign, earmarked for the maternity ward expansion. “The key point for us, and what is important to our staff, is that we are all at a similar age of having kids and raising a family here in Langley, so to give back

first opened in 1948, 11 beds for the 85 babies born there each year was sufficient. But today, the number of births has increased by more than 2,000 per cent to 1,800 per year. The number of beds has increased by just two. There are now 13. The number of yearly births is expected to continue to rise to 2,300 over the next seven years. In response, Fraser Health has committed $6.31 million towards an $11.66 million expansion. Support from the community has been amazing, said Kate Ludlam, senior donor relations officer for the Foundation. “When you look at the donors, like the Trotmans, the Omelaniecs, the Vande-

kerkhoves, they have such deep roots here in Langley. I think for many this is very personal because this is where they live, where their children were born,” said Ludlam on Tuesday. Chapman and Ludlam said they will “keep pushing,” excusing the pun, for more donations to reach out for $3 million more that is needed. The expansion will allow for seven new beds, which can accommodate up to 600 more births, and will see the relocation of the maternity clinic from the other end of the hospital to the new maternity ward, a new post-anesthetic recovery unit, an expanded nursery and additional on-call rooms for student doctors.

He presented the cheque to the Foundation along with his brothers Mitch and Brad. The Langley Chrysler staff have been fundraising for the LMH Foundation since 2006. In that time they have raised $18,000 that has contributed to purchasing equipment for the maternity ward, said Trotman. They have done this by having a jeans day and barbecue on the last Friday of every month. With Langley Chrysler’s donation, the Foundation is $3 million away from reaching the $11.66 million price tag for the expansion. When the hospital

Michelle Carroll, owner of the Langley and Surrey Edible Arrangements, has been moved to action to help a mother of two fighting a large battle with cancer. Edible Arrangements in Surrey and Langley will donate 10 per cent of specified regular priced arrangements, in the month of October, to Melissa, who is 30 years old and is fighting three cancers. The Chilliwack woman has breast, brain and liver cancer. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago but it has metastasized to her brain and liver, said Carroll. Melissa has a four-year-old and six-year-old. Her husband is an RCMP officer but even his medical doesn’t fully cover some very expensive medicine she must take to try and fight this horrific disease. “We are hoping to give her a bit of peace of mind knowing that at a time like this her family won’t go without,” said Carroll.

Cellphones valued at $1,400 stolen

NAL FRIGIDAIRE PROFESSIO

A Future Shop employee tackled a thief who stole two Samsung Galaxy S4s, valued at $1,400 on Monday morning. The suspect, seen in this surveillance photo, took the phones which were attached by security wiring around 10:30 a.m. He attempted to leave and was tackled by one of the employees. Two others attempted to pry the phone out of his hands to no avail, said police.

“We ask that people tell us they are ordering for Melissa so that we can know what to donate to her.” Carroll hopes to hand a healthy-sized cheque to Melissa in the beginning of November. “I honestly can’t imagine what she is going through and we just had to help,” said Carroll, a longtime Langley resident. This isn’t the first time Carroll, who has two kids of her own, has gotten involved to provide support to someone in need. She was one of the main organizers of a very successful bottle drive for a Walnut Grove girl battling a serious cancer a few years ago. She also fundraised and gave her own money to help out a woman she hired who has a rare intestinal disorder that doesn’t allow her to keep any food down. If you would like to help, order a fruit bouquet and say it is “for Melissa.” Edible Arrangements in Langley is at 8700 200 Street or at 604-888-3434.

As the struggle continued, a second man exited a blue Dodge Neon, found to be stolen in Hope, and threatened the employees unless they let his friend go. The employees complied and the suspects fled in the Neon. The driver of the vehicle was described as shorter, with very short blonde hair, muscular and in his 20s.

Ferguson said sending Township council representatives to the UBCM produces tangible benefits, such as the deal with CN last year that contributed $25,000 to the Derek Doubleday Arboretum. Two members of Langley City council, acting mayor Ted Schaffer and Councillor Dave Hall, attended the UBCM convention, but opted to commute rather than stay at a hotel.

Councillor Grant Ward defended his decision to stay in a hotel overnight at the UBCM convention in Vancouver, saying he needed to attend early morning sessions.

Let Jose stay

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.

It is sometimes said that “the law is an ass,” but perhaps it would be better to say the way in which the law is interpreted and applied is the real ass, on occasion. There is no other explanation for the federal government’s dogged determination to kick Jose Figueroa out of the country. The Langley resident has broken no laws, did not sneak into the country, has contributed and paid taxes in Canada, has three Canadian children and a wife who is allowed to stay here, and has done nothing other than, in his teens, support a rebel group in El Salvador which is now the government of that nation. Yet because of the way Canada’s anti-terrorism laws are written, he is being ordered deported. He has taken refuge in a Walnut Grove church and those church doors are all that protect him from expulsion. His neighbours, friends, associates and people all across the country have rallied to his defence. Langley MP Mark Warawa has, on numerous occasions, gone to bat for him against the Ottawa forces that are determined to give him the boot. Warawa made a very interesting point about the law which Figueroa is being targeted by. He said that, if it were applied to Nelson Mandela, he too would not be eligible to remain in Canada. Keep in mind that Nelson Mandela is one of only five people to have been given honourary Canadian citizenship. This was done by unanimous vote in the House of Commons in 2001. The federal government needs to listen to representations of citizens and our MP, and let Jose Figueroa stay.

Question langeytimes.com

of the week

Should the 12-year driving ban handed to Brent Parent be shortened by the courts?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Is the world a safer place for kids since Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd killed herself on Oct. 10, 2012 after posting that heart-wrenching video seen around the world? No, but we have learned a few things since. We’ve learned, for example, that the internet can be a rough, cruel world for kids unless they are taught how to protect themselves and their privacy — and we know that the internet is a powerful tool for ruining someone’s reputation. We’ve seen that vulnerable girls and boys are easily exploited online by voyeurs who lure them with false names and post their pictures and videos, sometimes with devastating consequences. We learned, as well, that rape culture is so deeply ingrained in our society that Canadian university students didn’t see anything wrong with frosh week chants about sex with underage girls until authorities found out and put a stop to it. We’ve learned that it’s easy to troll the internet for photos and then post them, without consent, as a Facebook dating chat room did with a picture of Rehtaeh Parsons (the Nova Scotia teen who committed suicide after photos of an alleged gang-rape were posted). Simply put, laws are inadequate for dealing with meanness and stupidity on the web. Even Port Coquitlam couldn’t find a way to legislate against bullying. But there has been some action, too. B.C.’s ERASE Bullying website, available during the school year, provides resources for families with bullying concerns, and administrators and school counsellors are being trained to identify and support at-risk youth. The Kids Help Phone got more publicity about its services for kids and School District 43 has a new digital responsibility policy for teachers, students and parents working on the web. Even workplace bullying has received a higher profile in the year since Todd’s death, with a new Workplace BC website addressing the issue, and the BC Coroner’s Service studied youth suicide this fall and recommended more collaboration and resources. Will all this talk prevent another Amanda Todd situation from occurring? Maybe not, but we can no longer have ignorance as an excuse. — Tri-City News

Last Week we asked you:

Should Glen Valley lands owned by the Township, TWU be dedicated as parkland? 70 Responded YES 81% NO 18%

www.langleytimes.com The Langley Times

Thursday, October 10, 2013 9

Promises, but no action Editor: On Sept. 12, I wrote a letter (published in The Times Sept. 19) in which I asked a rhetorical question about the workings of the Township. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen no feedback in the paper but think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve answered my own question. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. Around Sept. 1, I notified the Township about two dangerous holes in bike lanes. Nothing was done about them. On Sept. 13, I went back with photos. I received an email from the engineering department, asking that I resend the images. I also received an email saying they would be repaired within a maximum of 10 days. It is now the second week of October, and more than 10 working days have gone by. I still see Township trucks driving around, but see very few stopped with working crews. Those I do see with men outside a vehicle are usually gathered in a circle talking, undoubtedly about something important. There are no tools visible, just idling

trucks with lights flashing. The Township must run courses to train employees how to stand around idly without feeling guilty, or maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that you acquire over time. Whatever it is, it burns me to see my tax dollars being used up so casually. Maybe on further perusal, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve misunderstood the reply I received. It does not say anything will be repaired, just that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get a response. The only action taken was to send out the gremlin with the fluorescent paint to spray brackets around the hole. Of course they did that on 70 Avenue, east of 204 Street, early in the summer. So far, the residents and the sun have done a fine job of reducing them to vague faded marks but nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been done about the actual problem.

Editor: On Sept. 20 and 21, Township of Langley firefighters once again held out their boots to show their support for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. And once again, the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response was incredible. Residents donated close to $28,000 to help â&#x20AC;&#x153;make muscles moveâ&#x20AC;? and improve the quality of life for those living with neuromuscular disorders. That total is up $8,000 over last year and we are

extremely grateful to those who contributed, and to the businesses that kindly allowed us to hold the fundraiser at their locations. Township firefighters are very proud to be a part of this giving and generous community and we would like to thank everyone who supported the 2013 Muscular Dystrophy Boot Drive.

Editor: As the manager of a Langley community football team, I would like to let you know what transpired on Sept. 29. Langley Minor Football Association had two teams traveling to Victoria for week 5 of the regular season. Both teams were playing at the same stadium, back to back, so we had decided to have the first team (bantam team) stay to watch the midget game and then we would all travel back home together. This was in part due to the fact that the head coach of the bantam team was on the other side of the planet for work and more adults meant more supervision. During the third quarter of the second game, I was approached by our president, and told the ferries were shut down for the night and that we were not getting home that evening. Jen Boyd, new president of the Victoria Spartans Association, and her group of helpers were quick to get on the phone with a local hotel and book rooms for the more than 100 of us who were stranded. Not only did they jump to get this done before the rooms could be snatched up by other stranded travelers, but what happened next was above and beyond the call of duty. They told the hotel of the situation and had them agree to cut their rates for us, and then they offered to split the remaining hotel cost with our association.

As we were getting on our buses to head to the hotel, we were informed that one of their coaches owns a local pizza shop and was going to supply us dinner. Lo and behold, an hour later here comes Jen and her helpers with roughly 80 pizzas and a slew of sodas for the boys. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there. A couple of our players do not eat meat and the only remaining slices of pizza had meat on them. What did they do? They drove all the way back to Sooke to get a vegetarian pizza just for them. This is during a windstorm that had shut down the ferries. When they arrived back from the second pizza run, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just bring pizza and a few pasta dishes. They must have overheard the conversation I was having with one of our players, who happened to be celebrating his 18th birthday that day. These folks made sure it was not left unnoticed. Upon arrival the second time there was a pack of candles, plates, forks etc. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; enough to serve the two teams the five cakes they brought back with them. We, the bantam Mustangs and midget Stampeders, want to publicly thank the Victoria Spartans football club, president Jen Boyd and all her amazing volunteers for taking such great care of us.

The vivid colours of the fall season are more evident each day, with the leaves changing colour and beginning their annual fall to the ground. Reader Betsy Eadie was inspired by this colourful display, and the approach of Thanksgiving, to write a poem for the season.

Time for autumn harvest Editor:

Autumn Harvest Colourful fall leaves surrounded the pumpkins on the dewy ground The crimson colour of the sky drew many eyes to look to the east Crackling beneath their feet a hard crunch was felt leaves it felt like fall Bright orange like a strong hot sun the display was enchanting to all those looking The backdrop of the mountains did not overshadow the October Thanksgiving bouquet BETSY EADIE, LANGLEY

Thursday, October 10, 2013 11 Nadine says hello to Kiara and Idgy, a pair of 10-year-old female felines who spent 199 days at the Patti Dale animal shelter waiting to be adopted after their former owner passed away. Nadine stepped up after a community challenge was issued to get the kitties out of the shelter before the 200-day mark.

Purrfect ending for senior sisters FELINES FIND A HOME AFTER 199 DAYS AT LAPS M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

It had been 199 days living at the Patti Dale animal shelter for 10-year-old sisters Kiara and Idgy when they finally got their purr-fect furry tail ending. “They were adopted by a super nice lady named Nadine,” said animal shelter manager Sean Baker. This success story all started when Fort Langley resident Eric Woodward issued a challenge through social media that he would donate $200 to the Langley Animal Protection Society, if Kiara and Idgy would be adopted before they spent 200 days at the shelter.

Kiara and Idgy came to the shelter after their owner passed away and they were taken from the only home they had ever known. “It is a huge challenge for shelters to re-home older cats, especially if they come as a pair,” said Baker. But after Woodward issued the challenge, others started matching his donation challenge. “The next thing we knew $1,200 was being donated to us if these two got adopted. The only hinging factor is we had two days left and the cats weren’t adopted,” said Baker. But then Nadine, a Langley woman, came in and met with

animal supervisor Jayne Nelson and spent time with the two sister cats. She knew she would take these beauties home, said Baker. “Her 18-year-old cat had passed away and it was the right time for her,” said Baker. “These girls are going to have a wonderful forever home with Nadine.” Last month, seven kittens and their mom all were adopted in record time after the volunteer work of kitty foster mom extradordinaire Shelley Roche. She lets the world view the birth and lives of seven tiny kittens and their mom 24/7 on her kitty cam found on Facebook under “Tinykittens.”

Funds from Tzu Chi Foundation improve lives for 96 students

Western Canada’s premier retail event

October 22, 2013

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

Re-energize your customer base, your staff and your brand - with tools and resources specific to the Western Canadian retail market.

Few in Langley knew about the Tzu Chi Foundation, but now more than 96 underprivileged students are happy to share how this Vancouver-based Buddhist-based organization helped improve their lives. Several members of the Tzu Chi Foundation were at Langley Secondary School library to present a cheque and speak to the students, their teachers, coaches and administrators, as well as Minister of Education Peter Fassbender. “I have learned that Tzu Chi means compassion and relief,” said Fassbender. “This organization is about making a difference in young people’s lives, showing them someone cared and took the time with them. One student got up and said he “found light in the dark cave and now I stay in class and study.” This after the funds went towards a six-week summer session for a group of atrisk students. A total of 19 students attended the summer program designed to reach out to at-risk students and their families. Also 40 elementary students were able to attend a two-week summer camp focusing on lit-

tended special courses in music and drama. “None of this would have been possible without the help from the Tzu Chi Foundation,” said school district spokesperson Ken Hoff. H.D. Stafford Middle School teacher Mandy Janzen got emotional when speaking of the success of her six-week summer camp for at-risk youth. “I told a colleague I didn’t want summer to come because that’s when kids get lost and lose all the support they

had while they were going to school,” said Janzen at a bursary award ceremony held at LSS . Her concern triggered an idea to create a summer program but she didn’t believe the district would approve funding. Then came the Tzu Chi Foundation funding. “These kids are dealing with divorce, abuse, death, poverty,” she explained. For the finale of the program, they all went river rafting. “Even though they didn’t need to show up to write a final paper, only if they felt it was worth it, every one of them showed up to say it was,” she said. For LSS Saints football coach Mark Wyse, the funds help a team of young men grow through sport, to build trust, dedication and a sense of community. “My team is made up of refugees who have lived through war, victims of abuse and others fighting poverty who are all part of a community, part of our family,” said Wyse. The Tzu Chi Foundation has granted more than $150,000 to schools across Metro Vancouver to underprivileged children because it believes “every child deserves a chance.”

Work is proceeding quickly on the 54 Avenue overpass, which is part of the “combo” overpass project, involving three crossings of the Canadian Pacific rail line through Langley and Surrey and numerous road improvements. The overpass on the 196 Street alignment, which also goes over the Langley Bypass, is mostly complete, with work being done on the approaches. The third overpass at 192 Street is not as far advanced. The roadway portion of the project stretches from 192 Street and the Nicomekl River, then east on 54 Avenue to 196 Street, with work continuing as far north as 196 Street and 64 Avenue, where a traffic light is being installed.

Marijuana petition both misguided and dangerous PETITION DOES NOT PROPOSE LEGALIZATION I won’t be signing the “Sensible B.C.” petition to demand a provincewide referendum on marijuana enforcement.

Larsen’s loony law would tie police hands when they are trying to hold someone on a lesser charge while they search for evidence of something nastier.

Local politicians tore a strip off Health Canada officials at their recent convention, after years of warnings that federal licences were scattered at unknown locations, often used as fronts for larger grow-ops. Mission Councillor Dave Hensman predicted that when a grower gets a letter cancelling his licence, he’s more likely to roll up a big joint with it than to shut down. Burnaby Councillor Nick Volkow suggested the response would echo an old Cheech and Chong routine: “Dave’s not here, man.” Here’s another reason not to support Larsen: the conduct of his organizers. One fellow set up a petition table at, of all places, the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam. After scrawling “pot cures cancer” on the table, he proceeded to interrupt speeches by cancer survivors and the run itself by yelling the same false slogan. You can imagine how people with terminal cancer and their loved ones would react. Some would know that marijuana may alleviate side effects of chemotherapy, just as it can ease suffering for some multiple sclerosis patients. But the suggestion of a cure is as cruel as it is moronic. Larsen’s “cannibus” has been rolling around B.C., reaping uncritical media coverage. It even blundered into the recent Walk for Reconciliation in Vancouver, an event to mark the end of federal hearings into the effects of residential schools on aboriginal children. I wouldn’t support the Larsen bunch for anything, unless it involved them looking for jobs. Just say no.

Herbivores offer alternative to eating meat at Thanksgiving Thanksgiving, a day to give thanks and gather with family and friends, is on people’s minds these days. Many, no doubt, will focus on the upcoming annual feast and their favorite trimmings. It is a tradition that is passed on to younger generations as well as newcomers. While the intent of gathering with loved ones with a traditional feast is a great way to celebrate, it’s ironic that many people will do so by killing an innocent animal — the turkey. Did anyone bother to ask the victim if she wanted to die for us so she can be the table centerpiece? An odd way to show gratitude, don’t you think? Today’s turkeys are forcibly inseminated by having their legs clamped into metal forceps; in humans, it is called rape. It is a myth that animals feel less pain somehow than humans; and no, God did not create animals for us to eat. In Genesis, it’s called the Garden of Eden, not the Factory Farm or Slaughterhouse of Eden.

Humans have genetically bred turkeys to grow breasts so large that they suffer leg and joint problems and most cannot stand or walk. They are debeaked at birth without painkillers, a procedure akin to cutting off our lips or fingers. The tips of their toes including the toe nails are also cut off without anesthesia, as well as their snoods. They experience pain in their beaks, heads, and faces. They then languish in crowded conditions and commercial turkeys are routinely given antibiotics and hormones to survive the filth. At 15 weeks, the deformed and disproportionate turkeys are grabbed roughly by workers and stuffed into the transport truck. Some may suffer broken limbs — that’s where the utility grade comes in. At the slaughterhouse, they are shackled upside down in preparation for the stun bath. They flap in terror, and because their skeleton cannot support their abnormally heavy breasts, some may lose a leg or a wing. Some may not be properly stunned, and fall into the scalding hot water be-

fore their throats are slit — an all too common scenario. Imagine for a second if this were your dog or cat — they all feel pain and suffering the same way, just like us. It is unbecoming for the human species to express gratitude by subjecting our fellow creatures with whom we share our planet to such a barbaric existence and death, simply for palate pleasure and traditional centerpieces. No matter how we try to cover up the depravity of this practice, our souls will not be fooled. Why not leave behind this violent practice by trying one of the plant-based faux turkey roasts, by Gardein, Field Roast, or Tofurky, readily available at grocers or Nature’s Fare? Your body will be healthier for it, and most importantly to the turkey, she will be grateful. The Langley Herbivores is having our Compassionate Thanksgiving Potluck this Saturday, from 1 – 3 p.m., at St. Joachim and Ann Catholic Church in Aldergrove. If you wish to participate, please email me at: pattallman@shaw.ca

CFVSAR on the lookout for new volunteers Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue (CFVSAR) is currently seeking new members as well as donations toward a new rescue vehicle and team base. SAR teams are typically called upon to assist local police with missing person searches. BC Ambulance also calls them for incidents that may involve vehicles, ATVs or bikes that have gone over steep embankments, resulting in people becoming trapped, injured or killed on dangerously steep terrain that would otherwise be inaccessible without a rope rescue sys-

tem and trained rescuers. In some cases, SAR volunteers travel by helicopter, boat, ATV or on foot into remote areas to assist hikers and hunters who have become injured on trails or in rugged backcountry areas. In many cases, injured people require specialized medical packaging and transport out of challenging terrain. Approximately 26 trained SAR volunteers with CFVSAR respond to 30 to 40 calls annually.

In addition, CFVSAR is hoping to raise $35,000 to help offset the costs of replacing an aging first-response vehicle that is regularly used for rope rescue, swift water rescue and ground searches. CFVSAR also plans to replace its current team base as it has outgrown its current space. While it is located in Abbotsford, the organization takes part in searches and rescues in Langley.

City crew dances home fire prevention message BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

After urging residents last year to ensure they knew at least two ways out of their home in case of a fire, City of Langley firefighters are now turning their attention to the most dangerous room in the house, during Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 6-12. This year’s theme is Prevent Kitchen Fires. Unattended cooking, deep fat heated in a pot on the stove, even in-oven combustion poses a serious fire threat if handled improperly. But in order to get their message

SPOOKTACULAR SAVINGS!

across, the City of Langley fire department’s ‘B’ shift members have taken a somewhat less-than-serious approach, channeling their inner Beyoncé — singing and dancing and urging residents to ‘Put a lid on it.’ The instructional video is sung to the tune of the hit song ‘Put a ring on it. It features four firefighters copying (or, you know, trying at least ) a few of Beyoncé’s signature dance moves, as the lyrics explain that ‘to put out a kitchen fire, (you) put a lid on it,’ and urge viewers not to throw water on a grease fire. A Fire Hall Open House will be held today (Thursday, Oct. 10) from 6:30 p.m.

to 8:30 p.m. at 5785 203 St. The public is invited to come out and meet the firefighters, tour the fire hall, try on some gear, watch the firefighters conduct live fire demonstrations and learn important fire safety tips. There will also be refreshments served and door prizes will be given out. For more on Fire Prevention Week in the City of Langley, go to city.langley. bc.ca and look under ‘events.’ The Put a lid on it video can be viewed by searching for the City of Langley’s Youtube channel at youtube.com and clicking on the most recent video.

Not enough support for traffic calming at schools

Get involved.

POLLS OF NEIGHBOURS NEAR TWO LANGLEY TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS COME UP SHORT DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

A majority of the people living near two Langley Township schools have voted in favour of traffic calming measures that would reduce speeding, but because the majorities werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite big enough, the proposed speed bumps, traffic signs, rumble strips, raised crosswalks and other slow-down measures wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get built. In May, ballots were distributed to the people living near Coghlan Fundamental Elementary School in the 4400 to 4500 blocks of 256 Street and the people living near James Kennedy Elementary school on 212 Street from Walnut Grove Drive to 91B Avenue. A staff report to council said the vote for traffic calming at Coghlan was 51.2 per cent, while the James Kennedy vote mustered 60.4 per cent. Since Township regulations require a two-thirds or 67 per cent majority before planning can begin, no work will be carried out.

If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closed in a year and we spent $50,000 on it (traffic calming) thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a good thing. MAYOR JACK FROESE

The requirement for resident approval of traffic calming used to be a simple majority of 50 per cent plus one, but it was raised to 67 per cent a few years ago in response of complaints from opponents of traffic calming programs that had been approved by narrow margins. With the defeat of the two proposals in May, normally the next two neighbourhoods in line would get surveyed. That would be the James Anderson Learning Centre on 66 Avenue from 203 to 204 Street and the Langley Fundamental Elementary School on 50 Avenue from 218A Street to 217

Up to

Street, but there is a problem. One of the candidate schools hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually been built yet. The school district is reportedly planning to expand James Anderson, a small alternate facility that serves 142 students who require various types of counseling assistance, into a full-blown elementary school. However nothing definite has been announced yet, Township staff told council. If the school district doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build a new facility on the site, there is a possibility the older building that houses the centre could shut down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closed in a year and we spent $50,000 on it [for traffic calming] thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a good thing,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Jack Froese said. So council voted to delay sending ballots to residents near the centre until the Township has a better idea of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intentions. There are currently 76 Langley neighbourhoods where people have expressed interest in traffic calming programs.

In our own province, more than 100,000 people turn to local food banks each year. From September 16-21 at help us collect food from neighbourhoods across B.C.

A flag that will fly twice a year to honour Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fallen in the Township of Langley now has a special storage place. Langley MP Mark Warawa presented an inscribed wooden chest to hold the flag at the Monday, Oct 7 meeting of council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This flag was flown at the top of the Peace Tower in Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? Warawa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally, the waiting period to receive such a flag would be around 40 years.â&#x20AC;? The flag was first officially presented to the Township of Langley to commemorate Canadians killed in Afghanistan at the opening of the Derek Doubleday Arboretum on May 24, 2012. The flag will be flown annually on Remembrance Day at the arboretum and on Canada Day at the Township

The flag was presented on Monday, Oct. 7 civic facility. The plan for the arboretum was to contain a memorial site created by Elizabeth and Michael Pratt of Langley. The brother and sister team submitted a

proposal to the Veterans Affairs Community War Memorial Program to plant 158 trees, one for each Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan since 2001. The living memorial for fallen Canadian

military also includes a new cenotaph. Michael Pratt was in the audience when Warawa made the presentation and he was invited by the MP to participate in the handover to council.

community feel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are embracing the community concept,â&#x20AC;? says Lisa Murrell, sales and marketing manager for Appia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything about SOLO District is about quality, from the retailers to the suites themselves.â&#x20AC;? The latest phase at SOLO District is Altus, which will become the tallest building in Burnaby at the equivalent of 55 storeys, with office space on the first 14 floors and homes from 200 feet up so every homeowner can enjoy amazing views. The homes range from approximately 534 to 1,709 square feet in a variety of one-, twoand three-bedroom floorplans. The threebedroom homes are a new plan that Appia is proud to be able to offer buyers at Altus. Inside, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find luxurious finishes such as nine-foot ceilings, laminate wood flooring in

the living areas and the choice of two designer colour schemes, Grigio and Noce. The kitchens feature imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry, polished quartz countertops and a quartz slab backsplash, complemented by stainless-steel appliances and under-cabinet task lighting. The relaxing bathrooms hold their own Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry and quartz countertops, as well as a luxurious soaker tub and large porcelain floor tiles and wall tile for the tub surround and shower wall. Select ensuites feature an enclosed glass shower. One of the most exciting parts of Altus is Club 55 on its top floor, with a barbecue area, full kitchen, media area and billiards, poker and ping-pong tables and a large outdoor deck space. The office tower will hold a fully equipped gym, and a multi-sport court on the

third floor, while the 15th floor will include a roof terrace with outdoor seating, a barbecue area and a wet bar. SOLO District itself is one of the most exciting properties in the Lower Mainland real estate market. It will eventually be comprised of four residential towers and over 1,400 homes. Construction is currently ongoing for the first and second phases, Stratus and Altus, with future phases Cirrus and Aerius to follow. The community will also include Burnabyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Whole Foods, commercial opportunities, office space and tons of green space. SOLO District is perfectly situated for transit, shopping, education and leisure activities. The Brentwood Skytrain station is just steps away, along with Brentwood Town Centre. Golf courses, parks and fitness facilities are also nearby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People will be hard-pressed to find a more complete community of this calibre,â&#x20AC;? says Murrell. SOLO District and Appia is currently offering a fantastic promotion they are calling The Perfect Home Ownership Plan. The next 75 qualified buyers will get savings of up to 60 per cent on mortgage payments for a limited time, discounts on transit passes for those who commute farther than three kilometres on a regular basis and no payments for up to 180 days after the purchase of one of the select homes at SOLO District. This promotion is being offered to buyers who are Burnaby residents, plan to live or have a family member live at SOLO District or will be attending a post-secondary institution in Burnaby such as Simon Fraser University or the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Homes at SOLO District start at $293,900.

HOWEVER YOU DEFINE COMMUNITY, WE CALL IT AN EASY WAY TO MEET AND CONNECT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS. It’s just one of the many reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home. It could be at the chalk art festival on Main Street (see below!), or one of the many other events, like movie nights in the summer or resident parties. How about chatting with fellow dog owners at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just hanging out at the coffee shops and restaurants, at a wine tasting at Everything Wine, or on a bench on Main Street. You’ll see and meet lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing… and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy. Because loving where you live should be about more than just loving your stunning condo (though we only have a few left!).

Long-time friends Deanna Whissell and Sharon Rees (above left at a Christmas party in 1989 and then above right at Whissell’s birthday party) came up with the idea for Vanilla Clothing. Rees passed away from breast cancer in 2011 but Whissell (with crown) has continued to run the store, opening up a second location in Walnut Grove which celebrated its first anniversary on Oct. 3. Unlike some of the boutiques downtown, Vanilla Clothing offers down-to-earth charm and a great selection of fashionable finds without having to cross any big bridges. “It’s not like Pretty Woman, we will let you shop here,” joked Whissell. Having spent the majority of her career in the food industry, Whissell is thrilled to have the opportunity to unite her taste for fashion with her actual taste buds. “I wanted to do more to encourage women in our community to shop on this side of the border but I had to do more than just say ‘shop local’ — we had to create an experience for our ladies,” she said.

Last March, Vanilla Clothing began offering tours that take women on an adventure of fashion, food and drink right here in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. “The ladies have such a great time — they have no clue where we are going,” said Whissell, of the Retail Therapy-Boutique & Wine Tour that in the past has included stops at chocolate making/cooking classes, cheese shops, wine tastings and more. For just $45, participants on the bus tour are provided with brunch, transportation and a variety of nibbles and sips throughout the day. Giving back to the community is also at the heart of the store. On Oct. 27, Vanilla Clothing will come together with other

local businesses and boutiques to sponsor the 2013 Women of Value – Fall Fashion Fair, an event for the Servants Anonymous Society (SAS) in Surrey at Eagle Quest Golf/ Coyote Creek. Tickets are $45 and include appetizers and a cocktail. There will also be a fashion show and the Fashion Police will be out in full force giving away prizes — more than $5,000 in prizes will be auctioned off or given away that night. “It’s going to be a great night — 100 per cent of the auction’s sales will go to the charity and so will 50 per cent of the price of each ticket sold,” Whissell said. For more information about the store, visit www. vanillaclothing.ca.

SWITCH MADE TO KEEP UP WITH PUBLIC DEMAND FOR MORE ICE TIME

GARY AHUJA Tim es Reporter

The addition of a fourth sheet of ice at Langley Sportsplex should alleviate the icetime demands. “We have had a lot of pressure on us the last few years to open up more ice,” said Bud Pope, the Sportsplex general manager. “With four ice sheets now, it allows us to do way more big tournaments and big events that require more than two sheets (of ice).” Sportsplex previously had two dryland floors, but both have since been switched over to ice to keep up with the demand. The work to convert the rink took about two and a half months and cost roughly $1 million.

submitted pho to

Langley Sportsplex general manager Bud Pope unveiled the facility’s fourth sheet of ice last week. Sportsplex is hosting a public skate tomorrow with the money — or food donation — going to the Langley Food Bank. “We had the glass and the boards and the equipment already,” Pope explained. “It was just a matter of tearing out the floor and putting in all the piping and under-floor heating and stuff like that to build the ice rink.” Gastaldo Concrete

did the demolition and reinstallation of the concrete slab while Cimco Refrigeration did the work on converting the floor to ice. ••••• The fourth sheet had its inaugural skate last week (Oct. 1) and to celebrate, Sportsplex is hosting an open public

skate tomorrow (Friday) night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The cost will be $2 — which does not include skate or helmet rental — or a donation in support of the Langley Food Bank. The money from the skate will also go to support the Food Bank.

Less than nine months after launching its Mobile Business License Program, the Fraser Valley program has issued more than 1,000 licenses. Implemented in January 2013, the program streamlines the application process and use of business licenses in the construction industry. Contractors apply for licenses in their home municipality and are able to use it to work in any of the six partner municipalities. Municipalities included in the Fraser Valley program include Surrey, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, City of Langley, Township of Langley, Maple Ridge, Mission, and Pitt Meadows. The program benefits both contractors and consumers: contractors save time and money in not having to apply for multiple licenses, and

It supports small businesses who are the foundation and backbone of our economy.

Thomas boots his way to success

GARY AHUJA Times Sports

The first time he stepped onto a football field for a tryout, Steve Thomas lined up the ball at midfield and proceeded to boot the ball into the end zone. “Right away, you could tell he had pop in his leg, a live leg,” said Langley Rams general manager Jeff Alamolhoda. This was prior to the 2012 season when Alamolhoda was the junior football team’s head coach. Intrigued by the power Thomas had displayed on the kick-off, the coaching staff had him attempt a long field goal — from 55 yards out — and he made it. Typically, anything beyond 50 yards has the coaching staff unsure if they should attempt the kick or punt the ball. That first season, Thomas handled kickoffs and long field goal attempts, but now in his sophomore season, the 21-year-old from Surrey handles all of the team’s kicking duties. He also earned himself the nickname Happy. The name was given to him because he had the huge leg, but accuracy was the issue, just like the Adam Sandler movie character Happy Gilmore, Alamolhoda explained. But with improved accuracy, Thomas has made a seamless transition this season, leading the league in scoring. The kicker finished with 102 points — 20 points ahead of the nearest competitor, V.I. Raiders kicker Ryan Jones. Thomas finished with 49 converts, 14 field goals and 11 singles. He also led the league in both gross (58.5 yards per kick) and net punting average (39.1 yards per kick) and was second in punting at 35.6 gross and third in net punting with 29.6 yards per kick. “I am still training myself to do it properly, but I love doing it,” Thomas said. The fact he is playing football is a little surprising. “Football was something I wanted to do, but soccer always came first in our family, especially with my mom being the chairman of the club (Surrey Youth),” he explained. Thomas played soccer from a young age and the goalkeeper was part of the Whitecaps youth program at the U17 and U18 levels. But a concussion cost him a full season and once he was healthy, Thomas decided to give football a shot.

online langleytimes.com

He admits his first kick with the Rams was “definitely a soccer kick.” “As soon as I started working with one of the coaches, I realized there is a lot of technique to it,” Thomas said. “It is definitely different than kicking a soccer ball. Soccer is a lot about putting your whole body into it. Even though football is too, it is also about staying in a line and just connecting with the ball properly.” The fact he has a strong leg is of little surprise. “Even when I was younger, I always had one of the bigger kicks on the team,” Thomas said. “I was always able to kick it a mile.” One of the biggest adjustments was getting accustomed to all the equipment football requires. “That was definitely new to me; it is a weird thing going from wearing shin pads and goalie gloves to wearing big shoulder pads and a helmet on your head,” he said. Thomas still has one season of junior eligibility, but he is also thinking longer term in the sport, hoping to kick in the CFL. He is on the B.C. Lions radar, confirmed Tyler McLaren, a regional scout who focuses on the junior players for the CFL club. McLaren has seen all of the Rams home games this season and said Thomas’ booming kick-offs are intriguing. “We have talked to Steve and told him he needs to work on his punting and field goals,” McLaren said. Alamolhoda knows Thomas has the potential to continue in the game. “He has the leg,” Alamolhoda said. “If he is able to work on some few minor technical adjustments from soccer to football, Steve will be able to go a long ways in this game.” “We had a contest one night after practice (last season) where Steve had three chances to hit from 50, 55 and 60 yards. And if he hit two out of three, we wouldn’t have to run conditioning that night.” The kicks were done with the defence rushing to block the kicks. “He hit the 50, the 55er and then hit the crossbar on the 60,” Alamolhoda said. “A 60-yard leg is an NFL-caliber leg. What he needs to work on is some fundamental and technical adjustments with his footwork and his approach to the ball when he kicks it. But he is a hard worker.”

Langley Rams kicker Steve Thomas watches a field goal attempt go through the uprights during a BCFC game earlier this season at McLeod Athletic Park.

Rams’ Foster sets sack record

It was a game to remember for Langley Rams defensive tackle Evan Foster. Foster registered four quarterback sacks, recovered a fumble and returned an interception 70 yards for a touchdown as the Rams closed the BCFC regular season with a 59-24 victory over the Valley Huskers on Saturday at Chilliwack’s Townsend Park. And with his four sacks, Foster set both a BCFC and a Canadian Junior Football League single season record with 16 sacks. The Rams finished the regular season at 7-3 and face the Okanagan Sun on Sunday

Malcolm Williams also had a touchdown reception. The defence also got a second touchdown from Brandon Klein, who picked off a pass and returned it 25 yards for the score. Quarterback Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren threw for two of the touchdowns while back-up pivot Cecil Belanger threw the other.

Williams wins at Pagoda LANGLEY COURSE HOSTS VGT CHAMPIONSHIP

ALYSSA O’DELL L an gley Tim es

Darren Wallace aims for the green after teeing off at the season-endingVancouver Golf Tour event at Pagoda Ridge over the weekend. Wallace, a Langley golfer who plays on the Canadian Pro Tour, tied for eighth place after shooting par at the two-day tournament.

Ryan Williams carded a 2-under 70 on Sunday to win the Woodland Golf Vancouver Golf Tour Championship by one stroke over Bryn Parry. The two-day event was played Saturday and Sunday at Langley’s Pagoda Ridge. It was originally set for the weekend before, but a heavy rainstorm postponed the event. It came down to the final hole, but Parry’s putt slid by the hole giving the 31-year-old Williams the victory. Wiliams, a Hazelmere golf pro who also plays on the PGA Tour Canada, shot a 7-under par to pocket $2,500 of the $12,500 total purse. He had shot an opening round 67 and trailed by one stroke heading into Sunday. The event featured a total of 90 pros and amateurs. A pair of Langley golfers — James Allenby and Darren Wallace — finished tied for eighth at 144. The top amateur at the event was Vancouver’s Chris Moore, who shot 7472—146.

Outlaws ground Falcons The Langley Outlaws grounded the North Surrey Falcons 43-20 in junior bantam action at McLeod Athletic Park on Sunday. After an early defensive struggle as neither team allowed the opposing offence much success, the Outlaws broke through with quarterback Jacob Jelic finding the end zone for the game’s first touchdown. Langley’s offensive line — Mateo Ciampellitti, Tyson

Tombe, Joe Nickel, Devon Laboucan and Stryker Roloff — then found some success in opening up the running holes for the team’s running backs. Adam Rodenstein added two rushing touchdowns, as well as a 40-yard punt return for a touchdown to finish the game with three scores. Jelic also found the end zone with his second rushing touchdown. The team’s other

touchdown came on a 20-yard run from Conner Desnoyers. The defence also had a big game for the Outlaws as Brendan Anderlini, Nickel, Tombe, Desnoyers all had tackles for losses. Nick McCrory, Kody Brooks, Laboucan, Tombe and Nickel delivered solid performances along the defensive line. Nickel and Roloff also came up with blocks on two Falcons convert attempts.

The North Langley Bears flag football team defeated Meadow Ridge in one game, while tying them in their other. The games were played on Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park. And in the opener, Ryan Middleton, Cole Blaschuk, Sam Sieben and Ben Evans scored the Bears touchdowns in a 4-1 victory. The second contest saw the Bears tie Ridge Meadows 2-2. Middleton caught one of the touchdown passes, while Tyson Craig ran in for the other. Kai Blaschuk had a solid game at centre for North Langley. ••••• An inability to get the ball in the end zone cost the North Langley Bears, who lost 12-0 to Meadow Ridge Gold in peewee football at McLeod Athletic Park on Saturday. The Bears had a strong defensive performance, led by Jacob Evans and Jedakai Hurley, who helped keep the game close. Brian Pol and Marcus Stang had some nice runs, but for the most part, there was little room

game to hammer the injury-depleted North Langley Bears 54-7 in junior bantam football at McLeod Athletic Park on Saturday. Abbotsford scored on their first three possessions and never looked back. The Bears offence couldn’t muster much of an attack

and the team’s touchdown came from special teams. The lone bright spot for the Bears was Pablo Wigwigan’s spectacular 80yard kick-off return for a touchdown in the second quarter. Charlie May connected with Connor Hurley for the successful convert.

Rivermen go 3-for-3 GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

A perfect weekend has pushed the Langley Rivermen into top spot of the BCHL’s Mainland Division. The junior A hockey club swept both ends of a homeand-home series with the Surrey Eagles — 4-3 at South Surrey Arena on Friday and 5-1 at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday — before rallying for a come-from-behind 3-2 overtime victory over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon at the LEC. The results leave Langley with a four-game winning streak and a 7-3-0-1 record overall. “The secret is commitment to defence,” said Rivermen coach Bobby Henderson.

“The guys are taking care of their own zone first and foremost, and then working for what they are getting up front. “The guys are really committed to eliminating odd-man rushes, eliminating second and third chances in front of our goalies.” And while it is nice to get some positive results for their efforts, Henderson said the team is not surprised by the success. “We expected to do well this year,” he said. “It was tough the previous weekend with the injuries and we got some guys back, so it is starting to head in the direction that we like.” The first game against Surrey saw Langley score three times in four minutes to turn a 1-1 tie

The right fit for you.

into a 4-1 advantage. In the rematch, the line of James Robinson, Austin Azurdia and Will Cook combined for two goals and five assists. And they wrapped up the weekend by rallying from a 2-0 deficit and winning it on Azurdia’s overtime marker. It was Azurdia’s third goal in as many games and he leads the team with six goals. The team’s play has earned them an honourable mention in the Canadian Junior Hockey League top 20 rankings. Two BCHL teams — Powell River (#4) and Penticton (#16) are ranked ahead of the Rivermen. ••••• The Rivermen play Friday at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre against Coquitlam and Saturday at the LEC against Surrey. Game time is 7:15 p.m.

After winning its first four matches of the West Coast Classic, the Trinity Western women’s volleyball team dropped its fifth and final game of the tournament, falling 3-1 (25-23, 29-27, 20-25, 25-14) to Mount Royal Sunday at the Langley

Events Centre. The Spartans finished the tournament with a 4-1 record, including wins over Alberta, York, Regina and Thompson Rivers. The loss is the Spartans first of the preseason as they finished their

exhibition schedule with a 6-1 record. The Spartan will now prepare for their regular season opener Oct. 25 when they will host sixtime defending CIS champion UBC. Game time is 6 p.m. at the LEC.

Hawks sit third after split They were looking for a sweep to stay atop the BC Hockey Major Midget League standings, but the Valley West Hawks dropped a 5-3 decision to the South Island Royals Sunday morning in Victoria, and settled for a split of their two-game series on Vancouver Island. The loss dropped the Hawks’ record to 4-2 and third place in the 11-team league for elite 1517 year-old players. The Hawks fell behind early in Sunday’s game but couldn’t pull even with the home side, which was looking for its first win after five losses to start the season. A pair of goals in the final five minutes of the opening period gave the Royals a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes. It was 3-0 midway

through the game before Luke Gingras of Langley netted the first score of the game for Valley West, then five minutes later Matt Bradley of Surrey pulled the visitors to within one. South Island made it 4-2 with a goal in the last minute of the second period. White Rock’s Davis Koch tallied with six minutes to go to put Valley West within one for the second time in the game, but an empty net goal in the final minute clinched the first win of the season for the Royals. Koch also had an assist, while Surrey’s Paul Savage and Eric Callegari of Langley each had a pair of assists. In Saturday night’s win, it was Valley West taking an early 2-0

lead and staying in front the rest of the way. Surrey forward Mitch Newsome and Bradley opened the scoring, and after South Island got their first of the game, Savage made it 3-1. The Royals made it 3-2 after one period, and traded goals with Valley West in the second, with Paul Smith of White Rock scoring for the Hawks. Jesse Lansdell (Langley) and Jordan Funk (Cloverdale) found the net for the Hawks in the third period. Funk also had two assists to finish with a gamehigh three points. The Hawks will play twice against the Vancouver Canadians this weekend, including on Saturday at 10:15 a.m. at the Langley Events Centre.

CAR CARE & REPAIR

Reaching that high mileage Many drivers may find the idea of keeping a vehicle that has surpassed the 100,000-mile mark preposterous. However, perhaps due to the rising cost of new vehicles, many drivers now recognize the benefits of keeping their vehicles for the long haul. According to Polk research, many of today's drivers are keeping their cars for longer periods of time, with the average age of all cars on the road being 11 years. In October of 2011, Joe LoCicero saw his 1990 Honda Accord crack the one million mile mark, a feat for which Honda awarded him a new Accord and a parade in his hometown. There are many benefits to keeping a car longer, including the financial impact of such a decision. In a recent survey and study from Consumer Reports, the savings of keeping a vehicle for 225,000 miles over 15 years versus purchasing and financing an identical model every five years equated to a savings of more than the original purchase price of the car. A person can

potentially save $20,000 or more on a properly maintained older car. Keeping a car running beyond 200,000 miles was once pure luck. Cars made 10 to 20 years ago might not have been up to the task. But improvements in rust prevention, lubricants and engine technology have made it easier for today's vehicles to last longer. But as durable and reliable as today's cars may be, CAA notes the importance of regular maintenance. Knowing your car is one of the first ways to make sure it gets the service it needs. Over time, many drivers start to identify warning signs, such as abnormal noises or if the vehicle simply feels off when out on the road. Finding a mechanic that can be trusted is an important step for drivers who want to keep their vehicles going strong for years to come. A driver is more likely to bring the car in for service if the price is right and he or she does not feel like any costly and unnecessary repairs are being recommended. Building a good relationship with a mechanic

can keep a car working longer. Newer model year cars can be taken to dealership mechanics, who may have a better working knowledge of newer electronics and the subtleties of specific models of cars. The owner's manual should not be something that simply takes up space inside the glove compartment. It is worthy of a read. Understanding the recommended maintenance schedule and what other steps can be taken to prolong the life of the car can keep it on the road longer. Keeping the tires inflated to the proper pressure and using the right type of gasoline are the types of information that can be found in the manual. Drivers can save a lot of money on unnecessary repairs if they follow these guidelines. Many people are keeping their vehicles longer, reaching mile marks that were once unheard of. Investing in a car that has a good track record of longevity and then properly maintaining the vehicle are necessary to getting the most out of your vehicle investment.
