Guilty verdict in 16 Avenue fatal crash TR A CY HOL ME S B lack Pre s s

L an gley Tim es file ph oto

Glen Edward Theriault was found guilty on Friday, Nov. 15 of dangerous driving causing death in connection with this Jan. 18, 2011 head-on collision that killed South Surrey resident Jim Neiss. Neiss was an employee of the Langley School District.

When dump truck driver Glen Edward Theriault crossed a double-yellow line on 16 Avenue in South Langley nearly three years ago — ultimately killing a South Surrey man in a head-on collision — it was a “conscious, deliberate, risky decision,” a Surrey Provincial Court judge said Friday.

“No reasonable person would even consider driving in the manner the accused did in this case,” Judge Paul Dohm said prior to finding Theriault guilty of dangerous driving causing death in connection with the Jan. 18, 2011 crash that killed 59-year-old Jim Neiss.

“The accused deliberately drove dangerously.

The only way the accused could not have seen (headlights of an oncoming vehicle) is if he didn’t look at all.”

JIM NEISS Theriault, 65, has been on trial since mid-July.

Friday’s verdict was delivered on the 10th day of the proceedings, and brought Neiss’s family and co-workers some consolation.

“I feel relief and vindicated,” Brenda Michie, Neiss’s widow, told Black Press outside court. “The judge did an excellent, thorough job.

The people planning to build a second oil pipeline through Langley Township are looking at a different route that would avoid digging up the flood plain near the Salmon River.

In response to a Times query, Trans Mountain spokesperson Lizette Parsons Bell said the company is considering an alternate path, one that came up during meetings with property owners along the proposed route in Langley.

“From those discussions, we have re-

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es

Jutta Haberman was among the well-dressed guests who turned out on Sunday for the second annual Thank You For Caring — A Christmas Tea Fundraiser in support of the Langley Christmas Bureau. Co-chaired by Marilyn Morgan, daughter of Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese, and Jean Schaffer, wife of City of Langley acting Mayor Ted Schaffer, the event, held at the Coast Hotel, featured live music, tea and dessert. The 480 guests bid on more than 100 silent auction items, and organizers exceeded their goal of raising $20,000 in support of the Christmas Bureau, raising $21,000.

The 23-year-old man charged in the second degree murder of a pastor’s son is expected to be back in court today (Tuesday).

Jesse River Hill, 23, of Surrey is scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court for a bail hearing.

He was arrested Oct. 2 for the murder of 21-year-old Taylor Johnson of Delta.

Hill also faces charges of break and enter with intent, disguise with intent and discharge of a firearm with intent.

Johnson was found shot to death on Feb. 26 in a 200 Street home in Fernridge, which contained a growop. Johnson was the caretaker of the grow-op and Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is saying the motive for the murder is a grow rip.

“The accused and Taylor did not know each other,” said IHIT’s Sgt. Jennifer Pound at the time of the arrest. “This was a senseless act.”

Taylor’s parents Paul and Wendi spoke to the media about their son

at a press conference held Oct. 3.

“It’s a horrific experience losing a child, but when you throw in the word murder it brings in terror,” said Paul, a pastor at South Delta Baptist Church.

Pound said Johnson was a “good kid.

“He was naive and made a bad decision that cost him his life,” said Pound.

He was found dead in the home, in the 2000 block of 200 Street, after Langley RCMP received a call asking them to check on the wellbeing of a man staying at the residence.

When they attended, they found him dead, and also found a marijuana grow-op on the property.

Taylor’s parents said they had questioned him about some of the new friends he had been around.

“He was very trusting and had a lot of compassion for others,” said Paul.

Hill doesn’t have an extensive criminal background.

In May 2012, Hill was charged with robbery. He also was found guilty of breaching conditions in 2010.

Warehouse employee accused of theft LOSS PREVENTION OFFICER NOTED ELECTRONIC DEVIC ES W ERE GOIN G MISSIN G

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

A 23-year-old Port Coquitlam man working at the Best Buy warehouse in Langley is accused of stealing iPads, iPhones and computers from his workplace and selling them on Craigslist.

On Nov. 8, Langley RCMP were called by a loss prevention officer at the Best Buy warehouse to report an internal theft of tens of thousands of dollars worth of iPhones, iPads and computers, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

Police arrested the suspect for theft while he was at Best Buy. Langley RCMP’s street enforcement unit (responsible for property crime) took over the investigation. They collected information leading to a search warrant of a home in Port Coquitlam.

Investigators allege the electronics were being sold on Craigslist. More than $12,000

cash was seized during the search.

An additional $23,000 worth of iPads, iPhones and computers were located and seized in the residence.

Officers will continue the investigation and review evidence in an effort to determine who purchased the stolen products, said Marks.

It’s believed the thefts had been taking place over the last month and was discovered as a result of the vigilant efforts of the loss prevention officer from Best Buy. The suspect was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Jan. 31, 2014.

Langley RCMP are offering consumers some tips to protect themselves when buying cellphones privately and secondhand.

If you plan to purchase a second hand phone, ask for the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number before you take possession of the phone.

To help protect Canadians when purchasing a wireless device from a private source, the ProtectYourData.ca website now features a convenient tool that allows Canadian consumers to simply enter the IMEI number of a wireless device to find out immediately if that device has been blacklisted in Canada.

If the IMEI number has been blacklisted, that device will not be able to be used on any participating Canadian network.

The consumer look-up feature, the first of its kind in the world which utilizes the GSMA IMEI Database, will include blacklisted devices that have been reported as lost or stolen as of Sept. 30, 2013 and beyond.

Then, simply go to www.protectyourdata.ca and enter the IMEI into the query field. If the phone has been blacklisted, it cannot be activated on any Canadian wireless provider, which then renders

the phone useless. The blacklist will also include devices reported lost or stolen by U.S. carriers.

If a phone is lost or stolen, report it to police and the wireless provider who will add it to the blacklist database.

ProtectYourData.ca is also a hub of information where visitors can find numerous resources about the critical importance of protecting the data on their smartphones, as well as how to help protect themselves from becoming a victim of device theft.

It is imperative that customers contact their service provider to immediately report a lost or stolen phone to have their device deactivated. It is only when the device has been reported that the service provider can then add the device to the blacklist.

All instances of personal theft should, of course, be reported to local law enforcement as well.

‘Justice has been served,’ says head-on crash victim’s widow From Page 1

“I feel that justice has been served.”

From the trial’s outset, Theriault did not deny that he had driven his westbound truck — which was towing a pup trailer — into the eastbound lane of 16 Avenue over a double-yellow line on the morning in question.

The fatal maneuver, which began in the intersection at 200 Street, was an effort to pass two other westbound vehicles, said Dohm, recounting evidence heard over the course of the trial.

When Theriault spotted Neiss’s SUV, he braked and steered to the south side of the road. Neiss steered in the same direction, and the two hit headon.

The impact of Theriault’s truck killed Neiss – who was on his way to work as a bus driver for Langley School District at the time – instantly and pushed his SUV 23 metres, Dohm said.

At trial, Dohm heard from five witnesses who described seeing a dump truck being driven aggressively along 16 Avenue for several kilometres prior to the collision, which occurred just after 5:30 a.m. While a number of them testified they were sure it was the same truck that hit Neiss’s – and “they are probably correct” – Dohm said he could not make that finding conclusively.

“It is not logically possible to link their evidence together in some cohesive fashion,” he said. “I’m not able to find to the criminal standards of truth that this was the same dump truck throughout.”

In finding Theriault guilty, Dohm said he relied on evidence regarding the accused’s driving as seen from just east of 200 Street to the point of impact.

In reaching his verdict, he said he also did not consider “utterances” that Theriault had made to police in the hours immediately following the crash.

The court had heard that Theriault told a Langley RCMP officer that his decision to cross the double-yellow line that morning was a “bad, three-second mistake,” and that he had believed at the time the road ahead was clear.

Following a voir dire to determine if Theriault’s charter rights had been violated, Dohm had ruled the statements were admissible.

In explaining his reasoning for ultimately giving them no weight, Dohm noted video and factual evidence regarding the scene make it “very difficult to understand how the accused could’ve believed it was clear to pass.”

“He only had a few seconds, at most, in darkness, to check whether it was clear.”

Streetlights depicted in video taken of the roadway looking west look like two sets of headlights, Dohm said.

“I have decided this case without any regard to utterances found admissible in voir dire,” he said.

Evidence Dohm found relevant included that the type of vehicle Theriault was driving would be more difficult to maneuver, take longer to stop and cause more damage in the event of a crash; that the driving behaviour occurred at a

time when commuter and commercial traffic was starting to increase along 16 Avenue; that Theriault’s speed was likely upwards of 75 km/h when he spotted Ness; and that Theriault chose to ignore the risks associated with crossing a double-yellow line.

“Those lines indicate to a driver that passing is not permissible… not safe, even though that might not be readily apparent,” Dohm said.

“A reasonably prudent driver would never have attempted to pass.”

Prosecutor Winston Sayson said the verdict was a “well-reasoned decision that confirms the Crown’s submission that the driving of the accused was exceedingly dangerous.”

Michie – who attended court with her sister Maureen Beales and Halimah Simon, one of Neiss’s Langley School District co-workers – said Dohm’s points covered “everything we felt.”

She described her husband as “a colourful, opinionated person” who made her laugh every day of the 20 years they were together.

“He’d be really pleased today,” she said.

Simon said the verdict renews her faith in the justice system.

“I’ll sleep good tonight,” she said, adding Neiss’s co-workers are “satisfied” with the trial’s outcome.

Theriault did not speak to Black Press. However, a woman who identified herself as his wife, agreed the situation has been difficult for all involved.

“Everybody’s fractured,” she said.

Sentencing is set for Feb. 14.

Proposal expected by Dec. 16 UPDATE WILL BE GIVEN AT C HAMB ER MEETIN G From Page 1

Web im age

Redwoods Golf Course is shown here in an undated Bing.com aerial view.

Smith said the golf course, which is owned by the Township of Langley, was raised as an option during the meetings he and his neighbours had with the land agent.

The company has also recently told them by email that an optional route is under consideration, Smith said.

Current plans would see the new line run through the flood plain near the Salmon River, where the 31-acre Smith family farm and several others are located.

Kinder Morgan wants to expand the capacity of the Trans Mountain Pipeline system that ships Alberta crude to the company’s Burrard Inlet oil terminal by building a second, larger line that would run beside the existing pipe most of the way,

but diverting from the existing line where it runs through built-up residential areas in Walnut Grove.

Smith and his neighbours oppose the route through their farms, arguing the potential environmental damage from an oil spill would be catastrophic.

He calls the golf course a more logical choice, because it would move the line away from the flats.

“That’s a better direction, in my opinion,” Smith said.

He said he remains opposed to the pipeline because he doesn’t believe it benefits the B.C. economy enough to justify the disruption.

The company is expected to file a formal proposal for the route

Coleman outlines work in promoting LNG plants FR ANK BUCHOLTZ Tim es Reporter

96 Ave & 200 Street

www.drivingforce.ca

A banner behind the stage at Langley Events Centre said it all — “We won. It’s Christmas every day.”

This was the setting for Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman’s annual fundraising dinner, which raises money for BC Liberal campaigns across the province. In the last election, money from the event helped fund 30 campaigns.

Coleman, who was provincial campaign manager, was in a jovial mood Wednesday as he spoke to the several hundred in attendance. He reminded them that, one year earlier, he had said “Adrian Dix will be the most unhappy man in B.C. on May 15, 2013.”

Many, including many BC Liberal insiders and even his own brother, doubted his optimism.

They were wrong.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond, who introduced Coleman, said “Rich is a believer. There were a lot of doubters. He never was.”

While Coleman is clearly in a happy frame of mind, he is also concentrating on his job as minister of liquefied natural gas (LNG) development. He gave his dinner guests a very clear idea of what he has been doing and

Mauve Friday is Coming.

Black Friday will never be the same.

how the prospects for LNG development shape up.

He said his objective is to get investors to see that B.C. is the best option for their investment, as there are many possible sources of gas for the hungry Asian market.

He said B.C.’s strengths are the north coast ports of Kitimat and Prince Rupert, which are 58 hours closer by ship to Asian markets than any other North American ports. Consistently cool weather there also helps, as it reduces the cost of liquefying gas by taking its temperature down to -160 Celsius. The gas compresses as a liquid and large quantities can be shipped on specially designed tanker ships.

Another of B.C.’s strengths is economic and political stability.

Coleman is saying to potential investors that the B.C. government will work with them to design a fair tax regime that gives the province a fair return in taxation while giving them a return in investment that satisfies their shareholders.

The province will put these terms in legislation so that investments will be protected.

“I don’t think that government automatically is right (in determining tax rates) without sitting down and talking to pro-

ponents. Our objective is to find a ‘sweet spot’ that everyone is satisfied with.

“I believe our investment climate will get us the win.”

He has been criss-crossing the globe, meeting with companies interested in the LNG business.

A number have already committed substantial funds to development work, including $500 million by Chevron and its partners in Kitimat. Shell is prepared to spend up to $1 billion to prepare the former Methanex site in Kitimat. Petronas, owned by the Malaysian government, is ready to invest a substantial amount in Prince Rupert, as is a British firm. Nexen, owned by CNOOC, a Chinese government entity, has agreed to buy property at Grassy Point north of Prince Rupert for a plant site.

Coleman said that he expects as many as five plants to be built on the north coast, with three smaller plants on old industrial sites on the south coast and Vancouver Island. Together, they could create up to 100,000 jobs.

Companies need to get to the point where they make a “final investment decision,” and he is meeting with them regularly to answer questions and promote B.C.’s investment climate.

Murder trial to proceed MONIQUE TAMM ING A Tim es Reporter

The man charged in the New Year’s Eve murder in a Willoughby basement suite has been ordered to stand trial in Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Jason Brewer, 24, was in court on Nov. 4, when the decision was to go ahead with a trial. He currently is charged with the second-degree murder of “his friend” Cole Manning, 40. Manning was shot to death in a Willoughby basement suite in the early morning of New Year’s Eve. Brewer is accused of leading police on a short pursuit and his vehi-

cle was rammed by police in Aldergrove, leading to his arrest. His next court appearance on that matter is Dec. 5. A trial date hasn’t been set.

In the meantime, Brewer pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm during the start of a separate trial in Supreme Court on Oct. 28.

Brewer swerved into oncoming traffic at a high rate of speed on Highway 10 in November 2009, causing a horrific crash that resulted in life-long injuries for two victims inside a GMC SUV he struck head-on.

In that case, he has a sentencing hearing scheduled for March 20, 2014.

The final amounts of capital spending could reach $100 billion, he said.

If the plants go ahead, they will be built to the highest environmental standards, but even more important, he said, is that they will contribute to a lowering of emissions worldwide, by allowing natural gas to replace coal in Chinese power plants.

“China needs to fix its air to fix global air,” he said.

There will also be substantial investment and job prospects for First Nations people in both the northeast and northwest, he added.

If it all comes to fruition, and he said much more work remains to be done, B.C. will be able to pay its accumulated debt off within 15 years, and set up a prosperity fund that will help fund public projects long into the future. He said this will mean B.C. will be a better place for coming generations, with better funding for health and education and more job opportunities.

Question langeytimes.com

of the week

Should Kinder Morgan build a new oil pipeline through farmland near the Salmon River?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

The massive cuts to BC Ferries routes, to take effect in April, would likely be a little bit easier to swallow if the BC Ferries board had done the right thing and cut the exorbitant wages and bonuses given to senior manage-

ment.

As it is, the board instituted a two-year wage freeze and rolled the bonuses into the regular salaries paid to executives. A small portion will be held back, to be earned if performance targets are met.

This is such an obvious shell game that even the most naive observer can see through it. These top people will continue to get the same high salaries they get today.

BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan makes $563,000. His counterpart on the similar-sized Washington state ferry system makes $166,000.

BC Ferries is going through a massive exercise to save about $19 million. There is no question there is a need to reduce some services on lightly-travelled routes. And despite the whining by some people, asking seniors aged 65 and over to pay 50 per cent of the passenger fare Mondays through Thursdays is not a major imposition. Most seniors who live in coastal communities have enough disposable income to make the occasional ferry trip, and they will still be getting a substantial discount over every other traveller.

But had the BC Ferries board really grasped the nettle and made some substantial cuts to the wages of its top managers, a significant amount of money would be saved (it would amount to millions) without a single route being cut.

The real challenge that the provincial government faces is rooting out the members of the boards who run its Crown corporations, and in the case of BC Ferries, a private corporation owned 100 per cent by the province.

It needs board members ready to challenge the CEOs and top managers they are supposed to be keeping watch on. It needs board members who do not blindly accept the status quo, and will look out for taxpayers and consumers.

Then the public will be much better served.

NDP must be ready they

The ins and outs of the BC NDP’s 2013 provincial election defeat would bore all but the most hardcore supporter. But there is one good reason to at least acknowledge that the exercise in self-flagellation had to be done, even if you’re not inclined to actually read the party’s 20-page election review released Nov. 8.

The reason is this: There is no other game in town. Sorry, Conservatives and Greens, the New Democrats have the history, the base and the infrastructure so until something better comes along, they are the province’s best chance at keeping the BC Liberals honest.

Right now, the next election isn’t a big concern and the NDP can lick their wounds all they want. Premier Christy Clark is still in the honeymoon phase of her term (according to a recent Angus Reid poll, she’s the second highest rated premier in the country). She may even have something going for her, having learned some tough lessons from her predecessor, and she’s cleaning house.

True, Clark hasn’t been tested much in the legislature but we know what to expect when she finally walks through the door. She’ll defend to the teeth her government’s Core Review of Everything including the Agricultural Land Review, the budget, the throne speech and anything else that’s thrown her way.

But one day, even Clark’s government will seem dated.

A party too long in power rarely escapes folly, arrogance and scandal (and you can be excused for thinking the BC Liberals had reached that stage before the May election).

When that day comes, as it will, B.C. will need a thickskinned leader, sharp of retort and without stain to be in fighting mode. The NDP review holds out some hope that this will be the case.

Is the party’s review too much “whine” and not enough cheese? Yes, it lacks punch and has a sour smell. But if it puts teeth back in the tiger keeping a hungry eye on our leaders, that will be a good thing.

www.langleytimes.com The Langley Times

A platform for change Editor: In August, following one of the Township council decisions to develop housing on agricultural land, a Vancouver newspaper mentioned a previously unheard of political group called Live Langley.

The editor of The Times responded and provided an excellent review of slate politics in Langley (The Times, Aug. 13). At its core, a slate is a group of representatives who agree to vote together on the same issues. In our opinion, a quick review of voting patterns over the past years reveals, especially on controversial matters, an existing slate on Township council.

A political party, on the other hand, is a group of representatives who espouse a common ideology or vision. They may disagree on particulars. As a new municipal party, we at the Live Langley Electorate Association strive to be an inclusive and transparent civic organization committed to a sustainable, livable, and prosperous Township of Langley.

In so doing, we are committed to progressive values with the purpose of reinforcing the Township as a desired community in the Metro Vancouver area. As a progressive group and in opposition to slate politics, we value and encourage independent thought and believe that disparate views and opinions are essential in a democracy and lend to more creative decision making.

To learn more about our party, we encourage everyone to visit our website at http://www.livelangley.ca/ and our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/VoteLiveLangley.

Some have attempted to brand us as a NIMBY group, or have voiced concerns that we are against development. Let us unequivocally state that nothing could be further from the truth, for without development, many of us would not be living here today.

We believe development brings prosperity to a community, but that it must be properly managed to fit within existing community guidelines and values, both great and small. We strongly believe that development must meld with the key principles of smart growth, sustainability and livability, and not occur on an ad hoc basis. Simply put, development must benefit the very people who live and breathe in Langley.

We hope the electorate of the Township of Langley can clearly see that we are not a slate, but a platform for change. More importantly, we hope the electorate takes this opportunity to make themselves aware of the issues surrounding our community over this next year, and come prepared to vote in our next municipal election in November 2014.

Should we burn our ‘Guys?’

Editor: Recent political events in Canada remind one of Guy Fawkes Day. “Remember, remember, the fifth of November/ That is the reason the gunpowder season/ Should never be forgot,” says the nursery rhyme. “Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, ’twas his intent/ To blow up the King and the Parliament.”

The botched event happened on Nov. 5, 1605. The conspirators, caught in the act, suffered the dreadful fate of being hanged, drawn and quartered. As far as I know, Nov. 5 is still celebrated in England with a scarecrow effigy of Guy Fawkes placed on a stake and burned on a bonfire, whole children dance around and fireworks are let off.

We have our own version of Guys to be burned, whether they deserve it or not. Short of wars and other distractions, the press, in attacks possibly instigated by ambitious, behind-the-scenes third parties, single them out for our attention. Senator Mike Duffy is accused of grossly padding his expenses, and Mayor Rob Ford of Toronto is in the news daily.

Physically, they look alike. They remind me of Lewis Carroll’s characters in his book Through the Looking Glass: Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

On Nov. 5, 2013, Ford finally admitted doing a stupid thing — using crack cocaine. Self-righteous voices are raised, calling for his resignation. I wonder why?

Who is waiting in the wings to step into his place? I hear many people feel he has done good things for Toronto.

I recall the story in the Bible about the woman caught in adultery. People were standing around ready to stone her to death, but Jesus challenged them with the words, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” The crowd melted away.

As for Duffy, shall we bring down the prime minister for apparent involvement in trying to smooth this matter away?

Nobody is perfect. We are human beings, inmates of planet Earth. I doubt anyone can honestly stand up and say they’ve never done a foolish thing, something they would feel ashamed to admit.

Is the person unregenerate, still doing stupid things? Or is the person aware of the error of his ways and honestly willing to make up the damage he may have done?

I quote from William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar: “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is often interred with their bones.”

In life, when judging others, we need to weigh the good and the bad. Only then should we decide whether to burn the bad guy.

GLORIA HANCOCK, LANGLEY

Grand piano provides unique shopping Editor: We had quite a different experience recently, in terms of retail shopping in Langley.

We went to The Wickertree, located on Langley Bypass, on Sunday, Nov. 10, looking for some indoor furtniture items.

To our surprise and delight, there was this massive grand piano in the middle of the showroom. They call it “Centre Court.”

A young girl was playing the piano, magnificently. Apparently, The Wickertree has local student pianists playing every Saturday and Sunday through the winter, all the way until spring.

What a fabulous concept.

We later found out that the girl who was playing was only 12 and was part of a sister act.

There are about six or eight pianists who will be rotating in playing the piano through the winter.

We would love to spread the word of our experience, so more folks can go and enjoy. Take it in and support local artists. The ambiance created by this live piano was special.

And yes, we did get our furniture.

PAULINE AND PHIL LEFEBURE, LANGLEY

Bravery and sacrifices applauded Editor: I just want to say how much I enjoyed reading about the life of Bob Crerar (The Times, Nov. 12).

I would like to say thank you to Mr. Crerar and those like him, who served with so much self-sacrifice and bravery.

Those of us today who live free owe a great debt to the

men and women who served and continue to serve. We will never forget.

DAVE JONES, LANGLEY

Stranger’s kindness ‘made her day’ Editor: I recently had knee surgery, and I am getting about on crutches. My teenage son drove me to Lee’s Market in Fort Langley. As we went in, I commented to my children how beautiful some tulips were.

We continued with our shopping, and when I went to pay, the cashier handed me a beautifully-wrapped bunch of tulips. She told me a lady had heard my comment and

had bought the tulips for me.

I was blown away by this stranger’s kindness. She made my day and taught my children that there are some wonderful people all around us.

When I have recovered, I will pay it forward.

Kettle campaign needs volunteers MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

MONIQUE TAMMINGA L an gley Tim es

This is Sarah Mantha’s (standing) first time volunteering with the Salvation Army’s annual Christmas Kettle campaign. Brenda Pitts (seated), meanwhile, has been volunteering for three years. Pitts said she always finds people are most generous.

The Christmas season is upon us and that means the Salvation Army is looking for hundreds of volunteers to help with Christmas kettles.

Volunteers took to ringing bells and manning kettles on Thursday in Langley.

But the Salvation Army is hoping to gather more volunteers to man their 26 locations around Langley.

“We need 500 volunteers and we are at about 12 per cent, which is the norm for this time of the year,” said Gateway of Hope’s Troy Gaglardi.

“Our goal is to raise $150,000 which will go directly to services and programs at the Gateway of Hope, which include our extreme weather response shelter and our transitional housing, life skills programs.”

Gaglardi said even if someone can spare two hours, that is fine, too. It can be groups, employees at a company or families.

This year he is hoping to find some groups that are willing to sing Christmas carols.

Certain locations can

accommodate dogs.

They encourage parents or grandparents to bring children to take in the experience.

They have locations in Aldergrove, Willowbrook, Walnut Grove, Fort Langley and Langley City so people don’t have to travel far from home.

“It feels good to be part of it,” said Gaglardi.

The Salvation Army Christmas kettles is a standing tradition all people look forward to,

Ecole des Voyageurs in Walnut Grove has found a sweet way to help out those in desperate need in the Philippines.

On Wednesday, at lunch hour, the students were selling home-made sucre a la créme, a very popular and delicious Quebec/French treat similar to fudge.

The small school with lots of heart raised $138 from the sale, which the federal government will match.

“Our school wanted to do something to help the people in the Philippines and we’ve come up with a creative idea to raise money for them,” said administrator Marie Fraser.

She made two big batches of it and sold it all.

The government of Canada matches dollar-for-dollar all monies raised. The B.C. government announced it will also match money raised up to $300,000.

“Even though we’re a tiny school by “modern day” standards, we still feel that we can help make a difference. We think that every little bit helps.”

14 Years Bonded & Insured

Promised Land — of Retirement?

What happens when you reach that Promised Land of retirement and the promises haven’t come true? Maybe the planned funds aren’t there, maybe the days aren’t quite as full and fun as you had expected. What happens when you are a few years away from retirement but the passion and challenge of a career you’ve had for years are gone. What are your options?

A new survey reveals the financial impact the recent has had on the Baby Boomer generation. Forty-seven percent of working adults surveyed said they now expect to retire later than they previously thought, with an average retirement age of 66. This figure was nearly three years later than the respondents’ reported estimate when they were 40.

The poll, conducted by the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, surveyed 1,024 people aged 50 and older nationwide. Those surveyed were asked questions about their employment status, financial situation, and plans for retirement.

Overall, men were more likely than women to postpone their retirement plans. Minorities, parents of dependent children, those without health insurance, and those with an annual income of less than $50,000 were also more likely to delay their plans.

Among those surveyed who had already retired, 4 percent said they were looking for a job and 11 percent are already working again. Among employed respondents, 82 percent said

they were likely to seek at least parttime employment for extra income during retirement Kwantlen Polytechnic University may have the answer to these questions and many others facing the Baby Boomer generation that just seems to want to keep on working.

Kwantlen offers a variety of Adult learner programs through their Faculty of Academic and Career Advancement (ACA). A popular program offered is the Career Choices and Life

Success program.

This program supports men and women who want to re-enter the work force or make a career change to reach their career and life direction in this program. They learn to set attainable career and life goals assisted by vocational assessments, information research, networking and handson work experience. They finish the program with a solid career direction supported by a targeted resume, cover letter and solid interview experience.

Elly Morgan, M.A., A.B.S., has managed this program at Kwantlen since 1993. “The program started in 1980 and has proven to be very popular now that we see so many people wanting to continue to work rather than retire.

Many people find that they have retired too early and boredom sets in or in many cases, they find they need to supplement their retirement income.”

“Most often though, women want to find meaningful work, something which reflects themselves after havcontinued on next page

Prospective retirees encouraged ing spent many years giving to others. We also have women who are immigrants with a high level of education and simply need an opportunity to gain relevant Canadian work experience. On the other end of the spectrum, the CCLS program also attracts young women with children in school who want to be proactive and prepare themselves to the work force.

Younger women just graduating from high school are starting to attend the program, because through word of mouth they have learned how relevant the CCLS program is to ensuring they take the first right step in their career direction. “ While the CCLS Program offered at Langley is designed for women, Kwantlen offers the same program for men and women at their Surrey Campus. Similar to the Langley campus, the age range includes graduates from high school to retired men and women who want to continue using their skills.

“CCLS answers: ‘Where do I start, how do I connect with people in the ever-changing workforce?’ Elly explains, “Our courses are built on each other to support the right career fit for each student. We start by

conducting career assessments to determine their interests, skills and experience and match those traits and skills with people who are doing similar rewarding work.” Simultaneously, the students are supported in their network efforts to talk to people in the business community doing the kind of work they would like to do.”

This also provides an excellent opportunity for employers who are anticipating a skills shortage over the next ten years. The experience, knowledge, decision-making skills, and professional networks that Baby Boomer executives bring to the table can be invaluable to companies. Although many Baby Boomers want to continue working, it does not mean that they want to continue in their current positions. Most executives, even lower level, will take a call from a recruiter concerning a new opportunity. Those Baby Boomers who do not have to work, and could choose to retire, will look for more flexibility and better work/life balance. Companies that are willing to provide more flexibility with schedule or location should be well-positioned to attract the top talent.

Standing Wave, a cutting edge chamber ensemble out of Vancouver, is among the performers who will take the stage at Langley Community Music School on Nov. 23 and 24, as part of Canadian Music Week celebrations.

Sounds like Canada LCMS TO HOST A CELEBRATION OF CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK Langley Community Music School is celebrating Canadian Music Week with a weekend of Canadian music concerts on Nov. 23 and 24.

Beginning with a student recital and workshop on Saturday Nov. 23 at 2 p.m., the celebration continues with Britten Birthday Bash and a Bit of Bali at 7:30 p.m., a special bonus concert featuring artists Joel Stobbe, cello, Ariel Barnes, cello, Reilley West, viola, and Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann, piano.

The festivities conclude with the Concerts Café Classico season opener featuring Standing Wave, Vancouver’s cutting edge chamber ensemble on Nov. 24.

Coffee and commentary are hosted before the concert with the school’s artistic director of concerts Elizabeth Bergmann at 3 p.m., followed by the performance at 4 p.m.

DISNEY DRESSUP!

Cocktail hour on Cartwright Pam was always the perfect hostess — until the night there were more floral arrangements than suitable vases, the divorcee didn’t want her canapé and the guests formed charade teams and began to have cheap, competitive fun.

But that’s what happens when you have Cocktails at Pam’s.

Being the perfect hostess is not easy; it’s a fine art of pearls and gowns, repartee and knowing the difference between the maid and the cook.

But Pam believes she has everything under control — until the unthinkable happens.

Will she hold it together?

Will her brother successfully pick up the cute, young actress?

Will her best friends, Sara and Virgil, actually make it through the night without a full makeout session in the middle of the party?

You’ll need to see it to find out.

Featuring Langley’s Joanna Williams, Cocktails at Pam’s is a comedy about a real-time cocktail party gone horribly wrong.

Written by Edmonton playwright Stewart Lemoine, it is directed by Stephen Heatley and boasts some of the Vancouver area’s finest theatrical talent.

The Staircase Equity Collective presentation runs until Nov. 30 at Studio 1398, 1398 Cartwright St. on Granville Island.

Tickets: $20/$15.

Box Office: cocktailsatpams.bpt.me There will be a PWYC (pay what you can) matinee on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 2 p.m.

Shows run Tuesday to Saturday at 8 p.m.

We were a little apprehensive about putting our daughter in a new preschool this fall.

Of course, it didn’t help that our greatest fear came true.

Standing outside the portable with the rest of the parents and students who were laughing and reminiscing about their summer vacations, I realized Molly was likely the only new kid in class.

When my pint-size scholar is nervous, she has a tendency to twirl her curly hair.

On this particular day her little fingers were spinning furiously.

“What if I don’t make any friends?” she softly whispered, while eyeing up her new classmates.

Some stared, others smiled, but there was a particular little girl who left an impression — one that left my stomach in knots.

“Eww, I hate that girl!” she said, pointing a little index finger in our direction.

I looked left. I looked right. I even looked behind me.

After doing a full 360-spin, I realized the comment was directed to my four-year-old daughter.

“Shh,” said her mother, who ushered her quickly into the classroom without making eye contact with either of us.

Fortunately for Molly, she didn’t appear to have heard the young girl — I certainly wasn’t about to bring it to her attention.

Even though it was just the first day of school and she would only be there for just over an hour, I had a tough time saying goodbye that day.

Partners in crime hit stage at TWU SAMC PRESENTS A SOUTHERN COMEDY WITH A HINT OF SASS Like the perfect glass of lemonade, Trinity Western Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest School of Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC) Theatre production is sweet, tart, and refreshing.

Crimes of the Heart, a sassy Southern comedy about second chances, runs Nov. 19-30.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Beth Henley takes place in 1972, when the â&#x20AC;&#x153;meanest man in Mississippiâ&#x20AC;? has just been shot and the whole town is saying it was Babe, his sweet little wife.

Luckily for everyone, Babe has terrible aim.

With her husband in the hospital and her lawyer blinded by a vendetta of his own, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to Babe and her sisters to set things right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The story, funny and disastrous as it is, resonates with the hope and desperation weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all experienced at one time or another,â&#x20AC;? says director Becky MacDormand, an accomplished TWU alumna who has worked on Vancouver stages such as The Cultch and Pacific Theatre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is there still hope when everything blows up in your face? Is your family worth supporting, even when they let you down?â&#x20AC;?

The antics of the Magrath girls serve as a comical reminder that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choose your family.

While Babe is known as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty, perfect sugarplum,â&#x20AC;? she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have all the lights on upstairs.

Meg, the wild middle child, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help toying with the heart of her childhood beauâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and giving the town gossip plenty to talk about.

Lenny, the eldest, has the worst luck imaginable, from a shrunken ovary to a beloved horse getting struck by lightning. But, as these Southern belles prove,

Peewee Eagles soar to gold For the second time this season, the Langley peewee A3 Eagles have captured the gold medal.

The Langley Minor Hockey Association team was competing at a tier 2 tournament hosted by Port Moody over the Remembrance Day long week-

end.

With the score tied at two midway through the third period against Port Moody A2 in the final, Jude Wessel stick-handled through three defenders and fired the puck on goal with Billy Thompson burying the rebound. It was

his second game-winning goal of the tournament. The Eagles would add an empty-net goal to win 4-2.

Langley needed some heroics in the semifinals just to make the final.

You & The Law

PRESENTS New BC rules for moving with your children Can you move with your child after you’ve split from your ex?

Say you and your ex are guardians with an agreement or court order about parenting arrangements or contact, but now you want to move. Maybe you want to move from Nelson to Vancouver, or even Toronto, for a better job or because you’re getting married to someone who lives there.

You hope to make a better life for yourself and your child. But moving will also likely significantly affect your child’s relationship with your ex or other people important in your child’s life.

If your ex agrees, you can go ahead with the move.

But what if he or she doesn’t agree? BC’s new Family Law Act (which came into effect on March 18, 2013) has rules that apply.

In most cases, you now have to notify your ex and any other person with “contact” (defined in the new rules), in writing, of the proposed move at least 60 days ahead of time. To encourage out-of-court solutions, all of you have to use best efforts to cooperate to resolve any issues the relocation poses. If you can sort this out before the date of your planned relocation, your move can go ahead.

But your ex, as the other guardian, can apply to court within 30 days after your written notice to prevent the move.

If you end up in court, somewhat different rules come into play, depending on whether or not you and your ex have substantially equal “parenting time” (i.e. share parental responsibilities pretty much equally).

Basically, if you mostly carried the load and your child has mostly lived with you

post-split, your chances of being allowed to move are greater – if your proposed move is in good faith, and you’ve come up with reasonable arrangements to preserve your ex’s relationship with your child.

Unless your ex can show that the move wouldn’t be in your child’s best interests, the new rules then presume your child would be better off moving with you. But there’s no such presumption if you and your ex had substantially equal parenting time.

maining but the Eagles forced overtime and won 4-3 when CJ Christenson buried a rebound off a shot from Dayton Milligan 40 seconds into overtime.

“This team has a few great leaders which were needed in the semifinal game,” said coach Darcy Pinch.

“The team deserved the gold medal for all of their hard work over the weekend.”

In the team’s other games, they defeated Coquitlam A2 Chiefs 4-2, out-scored Victoria T3 8-7 with Jared Striker netting a late power-play goal for the winner, and then rode the shut-out goaltending of player of the game Dominic Bosa in a 4-0 win in their final round robin

The new rules introduce a whole new vocabulary to try and make sorting out family disputes, including relocation cases, less hostile – like “guardian” and “parenting arrangement” and “contact” (rather than who gets custody and access, which implies a winner and a loser). What’s in the child’s best interests continues to be the key factor in deciding these types of cases.

It’s important to know that the new rules don’t apply to federal Divorce Act proceedings, arrangements or orders for custody and access (the terms used there). Any move with your child involving a change of those custody and access arrangements would need court approval, which would be decided under that law.

The circumstances of individual relocation cases vary widely. They tend to be difficult, emotional cases, and the outcome is often hard to predict. Only some highlights of the new rules are touched on here. If you, or your ex, wants to move with your child, seek legal help promptly.

the North Vancouver Storm 7-0 in the championship finals at the Vancouver Thunderbirds’ tournament over the Remembrance Day tournament.

Langley scored three times apiece in the first and second periods to coast to victory.

“The boys played phenomenally this weekend,” said Eagles coach Gary Bowsher.

“Their speed, teamwork and discipline were top notch (and) the gold medal game was the best that I have ever seen them play.”

The Eagles also shutout their previous opponent, the Vancouver A4 Thunderbirds 4-0.

Langley had finished the round robin with a 2-0-1 record and tied Squamish for top spot in their pool. The Eagles were given the higher seed thanks to having accumulated fewer penalty minutes in the three games.

••••• In an all-Langley final, it was the Langley Ratclan defeating the Langley Blazers in the gold medal game at the Cloverdale midget C Memorial Tournament over the Remembrance Day weekend.

The score was tied at two midway in the third period between the two Langley Minor Hockey Association teams before the Ratclan scored a short-handed goal with eight minutes to play and never looked back, scoring three more times to win 6-2.

Totems leave Carney seeing Stars in FV final A miraculous comeback was completed with just seconds remaining in the Fraser Valley championship match, sending the Aldergrove Totems to the gold medal.

The senior boys soccer team erased a 2-0 first-half deficit to defeat the Archbishop Carney Stars — the defending Fraser Valley champs and last year’s provincial finalist — in the Fraser Valley AA final. The Fraser Valley soccer title is the first for the school.

The game was played Nov. 7 at Aldergrove Community Sec-

ondary School.

With his team trailing 2-0, Ryan Witowich got the comeback going, scoring off a goalmouth scramble with 10 minutes to go before the half.

And that goal spurred on the Totems in the second half as they got stronger as the game wore on. With 20 minutes remaining, another goalmouth scramble resulted in the tying goal and for the rest of the game, the Totems dominated play.

With 15 seconds remaining before stoppage time, Alder-

grove was awarded a corner kick and the team’s two captains, Joel Waterman perfectly placed the ball to the back post where Gurmaan Jahj headed the ball into the net.

The Totems managed to hang on during the two minutes of stoppage time.

Both Aldergrove and Archbishop Carney advanced to the B.C. provincial championships, which began yesterday (Monday).

They are being held at Burnaby Lakes and wrap up tomorrow (Wednesday).

Beaton lands ‘dream’ school It is a dream come true for Hannah Beaton.

The Grade 12 student at Langley Fundamental Secondary who competes with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club, will join the Trinity Western Spartans track and field program next year.

“This has been my dream since I was in Grade 7 and I’m

so excited it’s finally here,” she said.

“I wanted to go to a university where I can embrace the idea of honouring God with my athletic gifts, grow as an individual surrounded by a supportive community and go where I felt God wanted me to be.

Trinity Western fits

perfectly.”

Beaton plans to study nursing while also competing as a pentathlete and heptathlete.

Last year, she finished third at the B.C. high school track and field championships in the heptathlon. She also scored a personal best

with 4,453 points in the event at the 2013 Legion Canadian youth championships, where she finished fifth.

She was one of four athletes who signed to join the Spartans.

Also joining the program will be middle distance runner Caleb de Jong (Winnipeg), and sprinters/hurdlers Jordyn Piercy (Victoria) and Madison Evans (Calgary).

Lumberjacks take silver The Langley Lumberjacks returned from Seattle with the silver medal.

The Langley Minor Hockey Association bantam C tournament was competing over the Remembrance Day long weekend at the Fall Faceoff tournament, competing against 15 other teams from across B.C. and Washington state.

The Lumberjacks had won their pool with a 3-0 record — outscoring their foes a combined 16-5 — to set up a semifinal match against North Delta.

The teams were locked in a scoreless draw over the game’s first 30 minutes, but once Langley opened the scoring, they never looked back, delivering a 4-0 win.

It set up a gold medal showdown against another B.C. team, from the Seafair (Richmond) Minor Hockey Association.

But the Lumberjacks ran out of steam, falling 5-0 in the championship game.

In the team’s round robin games they won handily 7-1 over the host Seattle squad, edged Burnaby 3-2, and then defeated Kelowna 6-2.

Cohee signs Jadon Cohee has signed his national letter of intent to join the Seattle University Redhawks next season.

Cohee, who graduates from Walnut Grove Secondary in June, had verbally accepted a scholarship offer in August. Cohee is a guard for the Walnut Grove Gators and was named MVP as the team won its first ever B.C. high school AAA senior boys’ basketball title last year.
