Dog walker pleads guilty to charge of animal cruelty EMMA PAULSEN TO BE SENTENCED IN JANUARY MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

DAN FER GUS ON L an gley Tim es

Cadets marched to the cenotaph in Langley City on Tuesday morning to participate in one of three Remembrance Day ceremonies which took place in Langley. Story and more photos on page 24.

In front of a packed courtroom, Delta dog walker Emma Paulsen pleaded guilty to one count of animal cruelty and one count of falsely reporting an offense on Wednesday morning. Paulsen initially reported the dogs stolen from the Brookswood off-leash dog park in Langley on May 13, sparking a widespread community search for the missing animals.

But nearly a week later she admitted that the dogs had died of heat exhaustion after she left them in her vehicle on that hot day. She then led Langley RCMP to a ditch in Abbotsford where all six pooches were found dead. Among the deceased dogs was a border collie owned by her ex-husband and children. Paulsen will be sentenced Jan. 21. Files from Black Press reporter Sheila Reynolds

Firefighter’s legacy lives on in foundation MEMORIAL SOCIETY FORMED IN RON DUNKLEY’S NAME WILL SUPPORT SEVERAL CHARITIES

B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

In the four years since his death in a Seattle hospital, the tragic story of Langley City firefighter Ron Dunkley has become a familiar one to many local residents And four years later, it is a story that, for his family, finally comes the closest they will likely ever get to a happy ending. Dunkley was in the U.S. city in November, 2010 to attend a Seahawks game when, on his way back to his hotel, he stepped between the cars of a stationary train and into the path of a moving locomotive. He was taken to hospital with catastrophic injuries and died 60 days later, on Jan. 4, 2011.

During the weeks Sandy Dunkley sat at her son’s bedside at Seattle’s Harborview Medical Centre, the songwriter who was then living in Nashville, with her husband Gene, struggled to make sense of it all. After two long months of ups and downs, of surgeries, amputations and a litany of treatments, of visitors welcomed and songs sung around his bed, her son who fought so hard to live, had passed away. Sandy still recalls her conversation with Gene as they walked along the hospital corridor that winter day, knowing already that while Ron was gone, his legacy had to live on in one form or another. “I said, ‘This can’t be the end. He’s only 34, it can’t be over,’” Dunkley recalled.

“We’ve got to do something good. Something good has to come out of this.” Last August the Ron Dunkley Memorial Society was officially established. Its motto — One life touches many. A registered charitable foundation, the RDMS will raise funds for a number of causes — the B.C. Professional Firefighters Burn Fund, Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, Canadian Blood Services (a blood drive has been held in Ron’s name each year since 2011) and University of Washington Medicine among them. Although the foundation will focus for the most part on charitable causes in B.C., it was important to the Dunkleys to include the UW Foundation because, al-

though they can’t be certain, they believe they have a huge debt to repay. In 2011, still reeling from the loss of their son, the couple was hit with another blow — this one, financial. During the two months he spent in hospital, Ron’s medical bills had climbed to US $2.7 million. The doctors, the hospital, the university, the anesthesiologist, all had to be paid. Dunkley recalls opening a single notice in the amount of $173,000 — due immediately. Blue Cross would cover the first $1 million, they learned, but had the Dunkleys sold everything they owned, they still couldn’t have covered the balance.

Packed house at Township candidates’ meeting JAM ES I N GL I S A l de rgro ve S t a r

The meeting room of the George Preston Recreation Centre was a lively venue on Friday night for the all-candidates meeting for Langley Township mayor and council candidates, hosted by the Unelection Campaign. Some members of the audience didn’t hold back from voicing their displeasure over past decisions made by the current council. Plans for Brookswood were a frequently-mentioned concern, along with the often-raised issues over Willoughby and the proposed Aldergrove pool. The meeting was held in the meeting room at the centre and close to 400 people attended. Peter Holt acted as the moderator for the event and on more than one occasion had to rein in someone making a speech, rather than asking a question from the floor. While a few candidates arrived late for the meeting because of previously reported prior commitments, there was no shortage of debate and discussion by those who were there for the entire meeting. The format of the meeting consisted of questions being asked by the moderator, followed by questions from the floor. Questions were also asked via Twitter and text message. The moderator started off by asking candidates what top issues inspired them to run for office, what education and experience they bring and what council committees they would like to serve on. In response to a question on the issue of increased crime in Brookswood, Kerri Ross suggested “revisiting the basement suite reprisal” issue and using a community-based approach in “dealing with problem tenants.” Jackie Mandzak acknowledged the increase in crime, in particular car thefts and house break-ins. She felt there needed

to be “better community programs and community safety programs where we learn to take care of ourselves. We need to get the RCMP involved, so they know better how to take care of us, and we need to encourage things such as Block Watch.” In response to a question from the floor suggesting there be a Township-wide bylaw to protect trees from being cut down by developers, Bob Long stated, “the right to farm legislation in the province prohibits a bylaw on agricultural land,” but went on to say that “Brookswood is addressed with the interim clear cutting bylaw.” Regarding concerns over the Kinder Morgan pipeline, Steve Ferguson said “we’re looking for safety on the routes and the safest placement. We don’t want our frontline workers in jeopardy if there is not a good J A M E S INGLIS Alde rgro ve Star safety plan in place.

Board of education candidates debate many issues

JAM ES I N GL I S A l de rg ro ve S t a r

More than 100 people braved the wind and rain on Thursday night at the Christian Life Assembly gymnasium to hear candidates for the Langley Board of Education answer questions from the Langley DPAC, along with a few questions from the floor. Candidates were selected randomly to answer a given question, and given one minute time limit for their response. One concern raised was whether the district was doing enough to encourage girls to get into the trades. Megan Dykeman addressed the issue by saying that “trades offered through the district are excellent…

and there has recently been a big push to give girls the opportunity to participate in the trades, to try to attract more people whether male or female. The programs we offer are introduced to all students and although there is likely room for improvement, I believe our district has excellent opportunities that could still be made better.” David Tod was asked, “with the new collaborative learning in the classroom, do you feel that the teachers are onboard with this idea and for the teachers struggling with getting the ideas going, how can you support them?” He responded “Collaboration learning

is very effective but it needs to be a slow process. You can encourage it, and if the district staff and leadership of the school want to go there, they will buy into it.” An issue that was mentioned more than once was the difficulty of children getting into a “choice” school, such as the Fine Arts School. Alison McVeigh acknowledged the long wait list and said there is existing policy on how kids get onto waiting lists and “that if something was a real concern, we could open up the door and have a look at it and see if there’s something we can do differently. The Langley Fine Arts School is one of several schools where there are

significant wait lists and I think finding a balance between providing choice opportunities for kids and keeping neighbourhood schools viable and strong is a tight balance we walk on a regular basis.” Pamala-Rose Combs when asked if she thought the district could use funds from selling properties to fund schools or operating costs. “No, I believe that would be a slippery slope. That would be like selling your car to buy your groceries. I’m not completely against selling school sites for building other schools if the site in question is deemed to be of no use at any point in the

Kristine Ketter speaks as other candidates for Langley Board of Education listen, during an all-candidates’ debate sponsored by the Langley DPAC last Thursday night.

I think there are other avenues we could explore.” In reply to the question, “Do you think the district is doing enough for English language learners (ELL),” Lorraine Baldwin replied, “I think the district is doing the best it can with the resources being provided. I do feel that with the lack of proper funding into the school system that there could

be some more support.” Other issues raised were concerns that once trustees are elected, parents would not hear from them until the next election, inadequate provincial funding, getting others to support a specific vision of education and how a system can be put in place to evaluate schools and ensure that each school’s students have the same advantages across the district.

Other candidates running are: Rob McFarlane, Candy Ashdown and Shelley Coburn, for the two Langley City seats; and Rod Ross, Lawrence Chen, Trudy Handel, Kristine Ketter, Lisa Moore, Suzanne Perreault and Rosemary Wallace, for the five Township seats. This is the first election where trustees will be in office for a four-year term.

All the money raised from Keian’s Bottle Drive will help families affected by childhood cancer. The Blundells will be there and are hoping the community comes together again like it has before. The Team Keian bottle drive is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the north parking lot. On top of the bottle drive, the Blundells have started Keian’s Holiday Wish Toy Drive to carry on Keian’s legacy of bringing toys to sick children at B.C. Children’s Hospital and Canucks Place Children’s Hospice. Toys can be dropped off at Keian’s former preschool, at West Langley Elementary.

A Langley police officer happened to be in the right place at the right time after a 20-year-old man swiped a poppy donation box from the counter of a gas station in Murrayville on Friday. Police were called around 10 p.m. after the theft at a gas station in the 21600 block of Fraser Highway. The suspect fled on foot and a description of him was broadcast to officers in the area. He was spotted quickly and arrested with a large amount of change in his pocket. The 20-year-old, of no fixed address, will appear in court on Dec. 11.

Rick Green says his business, Rick Green Associates, is inactive and, despite a current website, has done no work since it was set up. He spoke to The Times Wednesday to clarify details about the business, referred to in a story in Tuesday’s Times. The story stated that one of his associates in the business, Ian Cameron, set up the website for the Unelection Campaign. Green said that even though the business was called Rick Green Associates, each of the individuals listed operated independently, to offer a variety of specialty services. It was set up following his defeat in the last municipal election, in November, 2011. However, it never received any contracts, he says. He went on to say that he decided not to pursue any business in January or February of 2012, when, after consulting with his family, he decided to retire from all paid work. The website remained active however, and he says he had forgotten about it. When it was drawn to his attention again, after he decided to run fior mayor in Langley Township, he felt it would raise even more questions if it was taken down.

Sandy Dunkley is president of the Ron Dunkley Memorial Society, a charitable foundation formed in memory of her son, who died in Seattle in 2011. The following weekend, on Dec. 7, the fourth annual Ron Dunkley Memorial Blood Drive will be held at the City of Langley firehall on 203 Street. Plans for future events include hosting a gala, a golf tournament and a firefighter cook-off as well as producing a firefightersâ€™ cookbook, said Dunkley. â€œBy doing this, weâ€™re going to be able to help a lot of people,â€? she said. With the establishment of a foundation in his name, Ronâ€™s senseless death is made more bearable by the idea that some good can come from the tragedy, said Dunkley. â€œIf Ronnyâ€™s gone and thereâ€™s a reason, this has to be it.â€?

Help us build a vibrant, healthy and safe community.

The community had already stepped up with donations to help the couple, who moved back to Langley in the months following Ronâ€™s death. â€œI donâ€™t know what would have happened without the memorial fund set up by the firefighters,â€? said Sandy. But it wasnâ€™t enough to cover the seemingly endless onslaught of bills. Desperate, Sandy reached out the doctor who had been in charge of Ronâ€™s treatment. During the two months her son had been in hospital, his unusual case had been used as a teaching tool for medical students, she reminded him. â€œI asked, â€˜Is there any chance you could possibly help us? Can you put us on a payment plan? Weâ€™ll never pay it off, but weâ€™ll try. â€œI havenâ€™t even had time to mourn,â€? she told the doctor. â€œMy son is gone and the bills keep piling up in the mailbox.â€? Then, one day not long after that conversation, as Gene was at the store, trying to buy milk and bread only to have his card declined, Sandy took a phone call from Blue Cross. â€œGood news,â€? said the voice on the other end of the line. â€œAll your bills are paid. You donâ€™t owe a penny, itâ€™s all been taken care of.â€? â€œI fell down on my knees, with the phone in my hand (saying) â€˜Thank you, Jesusâ€™ and crying,â€? said Sandy. Who had paid the bills, the insurance company was not at liberty to say. But, of course, the Dunkleys have their suspicions and much of their decision to start a memorial foundation is rooted in their need to pay back at least a portion of that debt. Led by a board of directors made up of community members, friends and professionals, the foundation will host several events throughout the year. Fundraising began last weekend with the sale of seat cushions during the Rivermen game at LEC. On Saturday, Nov. 29, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. the RDMS will host its first event â€” a burger and brew night at the Langley Twin Rinks Grillhouse, including live music and a silent auction. Proceeds from the event will go to the Professional Firefighters Burn Fund to help complete a new burn centre in Vancouver.

Complaints about tree-cutting in a newly protected forest have prompted a review of a fence construction project by the Township of Langley. The complaint about the work in the 25-acre Glen Valley Gray Pit Lands in the McLellan Park Forests on 257A Street comes from Watchers of Langley Forests (WOLF), the residents’ group that fought to preserve the site. WOLF spokesperson Kirk Robertson said members of the group discovered an excavator had “cut what can only be described as a wide swathe of destruction along a significant part of the border” between the forest preserve and Township-owned land. “Trees have been knocked down and the ground cut up,” Robertson said. In response to a Times query on Wednesday, Ramin Seifi, the Township general manager of engineering and community development, said survey work

Kirk Robertson of WOLF (Watchers of Langley Forests) says trees along the border of the Blaauw eco-forest have been axed. was being carried out by the Township to install a chain link fence between the forest and the Township property, “which is an active area for municipal operations with restricted public access due to liability concerns.”

Seifi said the necessary rightof-way consent was obtained from adjacent property owners to accommodate the installation. “I have asked staff to undertake a site review to ensure work is progressing according to plan and with minimal impact to the surrounding area,” Seifi told The Times. Robertson said the extent of tree-cutting was “way beyond minimal.” Just over a year ago, money to purchase the land was donated by Ann Blaauw and children John, Janet, and Jennifer, in memory of their late husband and father, Thomas Blaauw, a longtime resident of Langley who passed away in August of 2012. The $2.5 million deal saw Trinity Western University (TWU) buy the property from the Township, using the donated money from the Blaauw family. TWU has promised no housing will be built on the site.

Saturday’s election may well mark a change in direction in Langley political history, or it may simply be an endorsement of the status quo. It’s all up to voters. Traditionally, voter turnout in both Langleys is quite low — between 18 and 25 per cent. This indicates that most people simply can’t be bothered to vote and are satisfied with how things are going. However, that can change in a heartbeat when local issues hit very close to home. In Langley City, a series of high-profile crimes, many involving violence, have rocked the community. Seniors and many women, in particular, say they do not feel safe on the streets and in parks. With a competitive race for mayor, voting in Langley City in 2014 makes more sense. The fact that a minimum of three new councillors will be elected is also a compelling factor. In Langley Township, news that approval of a new high school in Willoughby is subject to the local school district raising as much as 50 per cent of the capital costs took the entire campaign to a new level. All of a sudden, people in Willoughby and beyond realized that there is a price to pay for unbridled growth, and that the lack of services some Willoughby residents were complaining about is a real concern. Brookswood and Fernridge residents already had concerns about the planning process in their neighbourhoods. The news from Willoughby simply magnified those concerns. These and other issues provide good reasons to vote for Township council, and trustees, this year. People who don’t usually vote and need information will find candidate’s statements, answers to questions and videos on The Times’ website, under Election 2014. These are designed to help them gather enough information so they can make intelligent choices on Saturday. Don’t let the number of names on the ballot keep you away either. Voters can choose just one candidate if they wish. There is no requirement to vote for six or eight councillors, or five trustees.

Question

of the week

Are you satisfied with the work of the Langley Board of Education in advocating for new schools?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Crime is top issue they

Despite a well-publicized decline in the crime rate and predictions that the Evergreen Line won’t worsen crime once it opens, many voters see public safety as the number one issue going into the Nov. 15 election. In The Tri-City News’ online readers’ survey, which is not scientific, 48 per cent of respondents put public safety at the top of their list, ahead of environment, parks and recreation, transportation, property taxes and housing. The issue had an average ranking of 4.75 out of 5. Yet, for the most part, the crime rate or the need to hire more police hasn’t been top of mind for most candidates. In Port Coquitlam, there is no interest in hiring more police officers, according to candidate interviews in The TriCity News’ recent VoteSmart voters’ guide. In Port Moody, the OCP has been the top issue, not public safety. And in Coquitlam, the top issues are development and orderly growth, recreation, green space and parks, with safe streets an appealing afterthought. Why the disconnect? Could it be that the cities do a poor job of proving to the electorate that their streets are safe or is it that local government, although responsible for policing, doesn’t acknowledge the fears of people when there’s a break-in, for example, or, as in a few years ago, when gangs wreaked havoc on city streets. In fact, we would argue the topic rarely comes up except when problems arise and then politicians are scrambling after the fact. We’re not saying the public is ignorant and the cities aren’t doing their job. But more needs to be done to address this issue. Certainly, Port Moody Police and Coquitlam RCMP are working to engage people through their social media. But clearly it’s going to take more than a few tweetalongs and scam safety tips to quell people’s nerves. It’s time to take a closer look at this issue of crime and policing in the Tri-Cities. — Tri-City News

Thursday, November 13, 2014 11

Colours have been shown Editor: With the upcoming election, I just wanted to write a reminder to all the voters in the Langley Township of the past year or two and the disasters of this council. This council has been well discussed and some solid information has been available, but folks are still willing it seems to see a smiling face, accept a warm handshake and think things will be different this time. Before the last election, Mayor Jack Froese stated that his reason for being mayor was to keep the council happy. He did do that. However, he has totally ignored those of us who live here and pay his wages and stated while in office that he didn’t listen to petitions, and of course he proved that over and over again. He went through hours of public hearings where he heard absolutely nothing. You could see by his body language that he was just doing this because it was a requirement. He also stated at one of the meetings I attended that “Langley is just acting like Langley” in a most derogatory and dismissive tone. And that attitude he has displayed all through this term. Councillor Grant Ward told us at a meeting in the spring that in essence we weren’t smart enough to understand the Fort Langley/ Coulter Berry situation and the Brookswood decision and that he didn’t care

anyway what we thought. And we pay his salary. Just recently, Councillor Michelle Sparrow wrote a letter to The Times (Oct. 7) saying “How can we OK further construction in the Willoughby area, when the government will not aid financially with schools?” Where has she been? Guess she hasn’t been hearing the uproar either. And then there are the silent majority who simply vote along with Mayor Froese and the others, and ignore the anguished requests by the residents of the Township. Someone wrote recently that we need not be nasty as we write to the papers regarding the upcoming election. And that is true. However, the truth needs to be told and sometimes the truth is nasty. And this has been a most nasty term, with the majority of this council. There are one or two that have listened and used their heads, and to them I am giving my vote and am thankful. I ask voters to remember. Don’t let a smile and promise and handshake make you think things will change. This council needs renewing. Please don’t be swayed by their promises. They’ve had their season and have shown their colours. They are not chameleons. LOIS HOOKS, LANGLEY

Three bad choices for mayor’s chair Editor: After attending two Langley Township forums for the upcoming civic election, I have decided the Township of Langley has three very bad choices for mayor in this election. Jack Froese tries to sell our parks and green spaces to fund other projects, does not listen to community input, does not fight for more transit for Langley, even though we pay our share to transit. Rick Green fights with his councillors and excludes them — but he is at fault for all the above as well. Has he learned a lesson? Serena Oh — I’m sorry but she cannot understand the questions, so she cannot understand her constituents. Her constituents cannot understand her replies. Some of the newer candidates for councillor I can vote for — but not for a mayor. What a conundrum. Surely we could have done better than this. RAS GOSSE, LANGLEY

A packed house at George Preston Recreation Centre heard most of the candidates for Langley Township council speak on Friday night, at a meeting sponsored by the Unelection Campaign.

Firefighters’ campaign raises questions Editor: I want firefighters, not a political power. We’ve seen the Township of Langley professional firefighters’ large bright yellow signs, telling everyone to vote for their choices for council and mayor, and stating that voting for them is a vote for public safety. Two on their list are newcomers. Ignored are all the other candidates who for the most part were just as supportive of firefighters’ questions of minimum staffing to become WCB-compliant or capabilities to meet standards. Reading their poster, though, one would think if they don’t vote for the candidates supported by the firefighters’ union, we will not achieve public safety. I recently found a door-hanging notice from the firefighters (never have I felt so safe with all this attention) on my door. It’s the same bright yellow. The same list of candidates. There are additional descriptions of

things such as “Support Local Champions of Public Safety” and “ensure those elected to council agree that the safety of your family and your property is a priority.” I imagine many other candidates are reading this, thinking “What the heck? I supported them, too.” Most of the list is made up of the current council and the same mayor. This is much the same team who were unable to reach an agreement with the firefighters since their last contract expired at the end of 2009. Then, miracle of miracles, it all comes together just before the election. It was finalizedOct. 27 with a very healthy three per cent raise per year for two years (six per cent total). Then the large yellow posters stating who the union supports began going up all over Langley with lightning speed, by Nov. 6. Does anyone else find this even remotely curious? A mayor and council is already under fire from

the public for giving developers nearly free reign within the Township, while at the same time taking thousands in contributions from those same developers, and then not listening to public outcry. Now this seeming “You Scratch My Back, I’ll Scratch Yours?” I support firefighters. Of course I do. Who wouldn’t? I want them happy and reasonably compensated and to have the means to do their jobs. If I have a fire or an accident, I depend on them coming to help. However, in a municipal election where they can have a lot of effect on the outcome, because they are a needed and highly respected section of our society, I don’t want their help. Suddenly throwing their support behind an embattled mayor and most of council, who just gave them a nice lucrative contract, looks very wrong. GEORGE OTTY, LANGLEY

MEL

KOSITSKY INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR LANGLEY TOWNSHIP COUNCILOR

“A VOICE WITH LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE WHO LISTENS TO CITIZENS’ CONCERNS”

Editor: I would like to offer a balancing opinion to the full page attack ad on Rick Green (The Times, Nov. 11). My take on his so-called “divisive politics” is that he had promised to cut municipal spending to the bone and to hold residential property taxes to no increase, after years of Township councils spending like drunk-

en sailors on shore leave. Several members of the council, sometimes referred to as fox and the henhouse, wanted nothing to do with spending cuts and have been quite happy to raise our property taxes every year, well beyond the cost of inflation. The point of this letter is not to pro-

mote Green, but rather point out what the “Unelection Langley” campaign has been trying to get across. If we return these incumbents, look forward to four more years of excessive property tax increases. WIN BROMLEY, LANGLEY

Editor: This is a response to “Election 2014: Froese refutes Green’s claims on developer funding of Brookswood OCP process.” (www.langleytimes.com, posted Nov. 7). The fact of the matter remains this: A known landowner and planning bias was present during the Brookswood OCP process, owing to the $500,000 fronted by the 10 landowners. One or more landowner representatives met with the planners during the process. After all, the landowners are paying for it, right?

This is bias. The landowners may not have been controlling the process directly but through cross-pollination (and OCP planner knowledge that a particular third party may be paying their wages), undue influence was there. The latest Brookswood/Fernridge OCP attempt is tainted. Since it’s tainted due to bias, not one part of it should be used ever again. The entire plan should be scrapped, and not used as reference in the future.

This type of “front money” can never, ever be considered “above board,” due to the incredible bias it creates, as stated. The process took place under the assumption that a large segment of the Langley population were gullible fools. I trust now you know otherwise. Thank you to the landowners for strengthening our communities, even if it was unintended. DAVID CHAMBERS, LANGLEY

Landowners were exerting undue influence

Beware of incumbents

Editor: Do you like the cramming and jamming that’s been happening in Willoughby? Brookswood residents, you especially should heed this, because if the present Township council, other than Councillor David Davis, is put back in, this will happen to you Also, if you don’t like their forceful ways of shoving their wishes down your throat, whether you like it or not (like what happened in Fort Langley with the Coulter Berry building), take heed. And take a look at the poorest paving jobs in Langley, like 96 Avenue and Church Street in Fort Langley.

This happened during the time that two mayors lived in Fort Langley, but under the same members of council. If you don’t want this, then don’t vote for anyone whose last name starts with an F, W, L or D (except for Davis). I believe Mayor Rick Green didn’t have a chance when he was in office before, because this council fought him on everything he tried to do, due to the fact that he was the only one elected when this council should have also been turfed at the same time, in 2008.

Don’t get fooled

Editor: In 2008, I worked on Rick Green’s campaign. Soon after he was elected, he showed his true colours. I was disappointed, as were many others. He is up to his old tricks. Like many, I watched the mayoral debate on Shaw TV. Green said twice that he was absolutely cleared on the “Brown Envelope Scandal.” This is not true. He was caught misleading council, lawyers, and the general public and had to publicly apologize. How is that absolutely cleared? The brown envelope was first in his mailbox, and when that story fell apart, it changed to the brown envelope being stolen from his desk and then put into his mailbox. Somehow there was a team of three mystery people involved, who Green will defend to the grave. I don’t think they were real friends; if they were, they wouldn’t have hung him out to dry. Maybe they weren’t real at all. All I can say to voters is don’t get fooled again. SUKHI DHAMI, LANGLEY

Change council

Editor: It was with interest I read a Township councillor’s comparison of development during the “Green” era and the “Froese” era (The Times, Oct. 30). I believe a mayor has only one vote. If I remember correctly the councillors during both eras were mainly the same persons. Maybe that is where the voters of Langley Township need to make a change. How many terms is too many? When is it time for “fresh thinking?” GRACE MULLER, LANGLEY

Pipeline a litany of errors Editor: There is much more to the story about the East Langley Pipeline crossing of the Salmon River at 52 Avenue than what Township led your reporter (The Times, Nov. 6) to believe. This project is a graphic example of what is wrong at TOL. Yet again we see: - Politicians and senior staff kowtowing to development interests; - Taxpayers footing the bill for pandering to developers; - Community not respected, not listened to and kept in the dark; and - Environmental protection at TOL impotent. Salmon River Enhancment Society has posted extensive information on our website www. salmonriver.org, along with a list of the Township candidates who have taken us up on our invitation to tour the site. Sadly, only one incumbent is on that list. This timeline says it all. In 2010, without investigating, council falls for misleading propaganda from development interests and changes the East Langley pipe route from 64 to 52 Avenue. This despite the Township having just sold the right of way at 52 Avenue, and de-

spite the 52 Avenue route likely requiring a difficult, expensive and environmentally damaging crossing of the important Salmon River. In 2013, SRES’ fears turn out to be well-founded. The Township plans to drill under the river from the bottom of the ravine. These plans would result in extensive damage to the ravine and its habitat. The society points out that directional drilling from the top of the bank, as was done by the Township for the water line to TWU, would route the line under the ravine leaving the ravine and the river intact. In April, 2014, an incomplete and misleading report to council downgrades directional drilling, claiming a vague risk of hydraulic fluids getting into the river despite also saying that directional drilling is a common means of crossing under rivers. The chosen method is said to be $1 million cheaper and is described as creating “minimal disturbance and disruption”. This makes no sense. In the summer and fall of 2014, the Township claims that the top of the bank (used to establish the 30-metre no go zone to protect the stream) is right

beside the stream at the bottom of the ravine. Prior to this, the Township has insisted on restrictive covenants on properties with the top of the bank defined as, well, the top of the bank above the ravine. A right of way is negotiated and residents are promised that there will only be a 15-metre working zone down the banks of the river, with relatively few trees removed. The working zone ends up being much wider than promised causing extensive damage to the bank. There is massive tree removal, including trees on the neighbouring property. The Township does not bother to ask the neighbour for permission or give notice. “Minimal disturbance and disruption” and saving money have proven to be far from the truth. No one else would be allowed to ignore the known no go zone or start a project, ignoring protected streams and habitat while not having any firm plans in place for rehabilitation or compensation.

Mitchell already has track record Editor: There are several new candidates running for Township council, but one isn’t so new. Kevin Mitchell has been working for the residents of Langley, unpaid, for several years. He is well known for his work on the cannon bylaw, but that’s only one of his contributions to making Langley a better place for you and me. He has the interests of both urban and rural residents on his mind. He supports farming and the ALR, and also recognizes that farms have neighbours

who may be negatively impacted by farming activities. Last summer, he met on his own time with the deputy minister of agriculture, Darryl Sturko, in Victoria and the Minister of Agriculture, Norm Letnick, in Abbotsford to discuss solutions to rural-urban conflicts such as the use of propane cannons to control birds on berry farms. He worked hard rewriting the Township Soil Removal and Deposit Bylaw, addressing problems with uncontrolled fill sites

damaging neighbouring properties and the environment. Due to his efforts, and those of others, the Soil Deposit Bylaw was updated. It’s clear that he is prepared to do the work it takes to make intelligent and accountable decisions. We need him on council to bring back fiscal responsibility and to speak up for all Langley residents.

Editor: Can you imagine a bunch of anti-progress rookies running the Township? With no business experience but bubbling with enthusiasm, looking to press a few buttons to see what happens, it will be a disaster waiting to happen. Poor, ideological but uninformed decisions could wreak havoc on the Township’s resources through missed opportunities.

The Township is a large business operation, and has to be run like one. If a business slows down and brings in less money than it spends, the owners (in this case, the taxpayers) suffer a loss and have to make up the difference. Originally, these anti-progress candidates were wanting to curb development. Realizing they can’t get elected that way, they are disguising their plat-

form. Now they say they are not against development, and to trust them to manage it better. Talk is cheap. Their actions would be regressive, resulting in long-time debt to the residents. Do we want to risk going through four years of costly mistakes? I don’t. M. WICKMAN, LANGLEY

Editor: Langley City residents need to wake up and vote, and bring in some young people with fresh ideas — people whose word you can trust. In a 2011 meeting at Nicomekl Elementary, regarding the triple overpass project, concerns about truck traffic on 196

Street were brought up. Gary Vlieg, the City director of engineering at that time, said the road would only be two lanes south of 56 Avenue, and would never be designated as a truck route. Any trucks must be making local deliveries, and not cutting

through, he said. Throughout all the discussions regarding the overpasses and 196 Street, only Councillor Dave Hall has questioned anything, and kept the residents in touch with the project. V. DIRKS, LANGLEY CITY

Global warming also It’s Past Time stalled politically We Pulled Our Heads On most issues this column discusses, the feedback I receive is generally negative. One exception has been human-caused climate change, where my mail runs three to one in favour of a skeptical approach. Most express relief at having someone question the exaggerated or false claims advanced by environmentalists who strive to paint Alberta and B.C. as home to uniquely evil climate crimes. As mentioned last week, this is an urgent issue in B.C. as the government pushes to develop liquefied natural gas exports. The B.C. Liberal approach to limit only the “intensity” of greenhouse gas emissions from LNG production, and make no commitment on the majority of emissions from upstream gas production, looks like the effective end of Gordon Campbell’s crusade to lead North America in “climate action.” The government has also abandoned Campbell’s collapsed effort to set up a cap-and-trade system with various U.S. states to regulate emissions. Which brings me to a key reason for public skepticism. Going back to Jean Chrétien’s lip service to the Kyoto Accord, the world-wide effort to rein in fossil fuel emissions has been a smog of hypocrisy, hollow promises and failed experiments. The next grand climate summit is scheduled for Paris next summer, although the vast international green bureaucracy will first have to jet to Peru for a pre-summit summit. The European Union has just agreed to a Campbell-like new target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40 per cent by 2030. But that’s dependent on the Paris summit reaching a legally binding international deal, something the United States remains unwilling to do. Meanwhile, Germany is building new coal-fired power plants. In Ontario, a grandiose scheme to replace coal-fired power with wind, solar and other renewables has produced steeply rising electricity rates and a political scandal over a cancelled plan to build gas-fired capacity.

Out Of The Sand...

Vote

Ray Lewis For Mayor of The City of Langley My roots in Langley originate in 1937 when my grandfather’s family of 17 moved onto property later known as the Langley Speedway. My father drove interurban trams & freight trains throughout the Fraser Valley. My family moved to Langley in 1971. My business experience includes working as a bank loan ofcer; operating 2 collection/repossession companies; licensed as a real estate broker 40 yrs.; Coordinated bids & supervised home construction in several subdivisions; handled a wide variety of property sales; presently vice president of my residential strata council. It’s past time we pulled our heads out of the sand. Transients, most being alcohol/drug abusers, panhandlers, prostitutes, and mentally challenged are overpowering us. Let us be clear: - lawlessness costs us all in a myriad number of ways. Mrs. Smith and I worked a couple of weeks on a petition and turned in over 500 signatures, with many more yet uncollected, pleading for City authorities to address city problems. The consensus of many taxpayers is that current laws are mostly in favor of criminals and leave lawful residents unprotected. Langley City has the unenviable reputation of spending approx. 1/2 of tax revenues on policing. A ridiculous share. It’s a sad status quo of the old order (dumping vast sums into what appears to be a bottomless pit seems foolish would be to our peril). Many residents & a plethora of government subsidized organizations may mean well, but they generally exacerbate our crime/homelessness dilemma by donating clothing, food and money to transients. Residents, especially landlords, and business operators are taking big nancial hits. Our neighbor, Surrey, is experiencing much the same problems and just hired an additional 47 police ofcers. We need to work in a cooperative plan with Surrey and

other cities to present a united front in holding Victoria accountable for their obligation to care for mental health concerns and hold Ottawa accountable to create realistic laws that give police authority to carry out their duties. Senior governments will ignore these issues unless we present a powerful, united and unrelenting case. Failing to properly spearhead an attack on our deep problems at this time will lead to rising taxation levels, loss of business services & further deterioration of our expected good life. City leaders must be diligent in pressing senior governments for cost sharing in maintenance & replacement of aging infrastructure. Another major challenge is to negotiate strongly in an effort to receive a fair transit system to prepare for our population growth. Let’s not forget the need to redirect massive freight trains away from the city (the expensive overpasses haven’t done much to alleviate trafc snarls). Let’s not forget about a LRT system on our rail line which could connect Skytrain in Surrey through Langley and later to Chilliwack. There are many facets of a healthy city, some of which are developing a sustainable city, providing as best we can for an aging population, providing suitable parks, arts & cultural centers and needed sports venues as City budgets are capable. The City should be striving to build a cash reserve annually to provide a healthy city for future generations. Casino revenues are declining. We need to be good stewards of our share of these funds. I sincerely urge the City of Langley electorate to help us by making a special effort to exercise your right to vote in this “special”election. If the usual 20% turn out to vote we may be doomed to continue the same old order. Help us to be proactive in creating a safe and prosperous Place to Be.

Salvation Army kettle campaign begins today

The Salvation Army Christmas Kettle bells started ringing today (Nov. 13). The campaign is their biggest fundraiser of the year with all proceeds going to fund the Family Services department at the Langley Gateway of Hope homeless shelter. Family Services helps those in need with community meals, clothing and material assistance, Christmas hampers,

school supplies, and the Skillet 101 cooking class just to name a few. Every year the Christmas Kettle Campaign runs from mid-November thru until Dec. 24. The 20-plus kettle locations need at least five volunteers each to cover the two hour shifts. That results in over 3,000 shifts to be covered. “I really enjoyed my time as a

Langley residents’ health habits: how we compare LOCALS LESS LIKELY TO SMOKE BUT ALSO LESS LIKELY TO EAT WELL AND EXERCISE THAN THE B.C. AVERAGE – FRASER HEALTH REPORT DA N FERG USON Times R ep o rter

D A N F E R G U SON La ng ley Times

Andy Libbiter, interim director of mental health and substance use for the Fraser Health Authority, presented a report to Township council that describes how Langley residents’ smoking, eating and exercise habits compare to people across the rest of B.C.

Residents of the Langleys and the Fraser South region are slightly less likely to smoke than other B.C. residents, but they are also less likely to eat well and exercise. The statistics describing the differences were contained in a recent report presented to Langley Township council by Andy Libbiter, the interim director of mental health and substance use for the Fraser Health Authority. The report shows 12 per cent of people in Fraser South smoke compared to the provincial average of 15 per cent. But while local residents have slightly better smoking habits, their eating habits are slightly worse, the report shows. The percentage of people in the region who eat five or more fruits and vegetables a day was 39 per cent compared to 41

per cent provincially, and the percentage of people considered physically active was 56 per cent compared to 60 per cent for all of B.C. The number of overweight or obese adults in Fraser South was also higher than the provincial average; 49 per cent compared to 47 per cent. Libbiter said the health authority aims to improve those numbers in a bid to contain health costs by producing healthier people who will need medical services less often. “We cannot go on using health care … in the same way or we’re going to bankrupt the provincial budget,” Libbiter told council. Fraser Health currently has a budget of $3 billion to serve 1.7 million people with 12 acute care hospitals, 26,000 staff, 2,500 physicians and 6,500 volunteers between Burnaby and Boston Bar.

Pool advocate pushes for Aldergrove ‘rec’ upgrades K URT L A NG MA NN B lack Pre s s

An Aldergrove resident pushed about a dozen Township council candidates for a commitment to improvements to Aldergrove recreational facilities on Monday, Nov. 3. Joanne Nicolato has been leading the Aldergrove Pool Committee for the past three years and she told the political candidates that current facilities are out-of-date and insufficient for the community of 12,000 residents. None of the candidates disagreed with her, as they accompanied Nicolato on a brief tour of the 50-year-old Aldergrove outdoor pool and 25-yearold Kinsmen community centre. It was noted that the pool was closed for 52 days of its 90-day summer season this year, due to water clarity problems. These problems were finally solved by closing the pool and replacing the paint. The community centre does offer Township recreation and exercise programs, however, these are very limited due to the small space for the workout/weight room, and its three pieces of equipment. However, according to Township policy the user fees are the same as they are for the much better-equipped Blair and Walnut Grove facilities. Nicolato said a proposal several years ago for a pool next to the Kinsmen community centre fell through partially because it would have involved the sacrifice of sports fields that exist there and which are very popular. She said she supports the idea of building a new pool at the former Aldergrove Elementary site, which has been purchased by the Township for this purpose. However, she says an ice arena also proposed for the same property has sent the cost spiralling up to $50 million, even though she understood the energy savings that would be realized by using the same heat exchange system for both the pool and ice arena. She says that the new facility should also have a gymnasium for aerobics and other exercises, weight room, running track and meeting rooms, to attract users and provide cross-training flexibility. She seemed to be more open to reducing the committee’s push for a 50-metre pool to a 25-metre pool, although she continues to argue that it would attract more users if it followed the Walnut Grove pool’s 50-metre size. It was noted by Councillors Charlie Fox and David Davis that all Township recreational facilities are subsidized to greater or smaller extents. For example, the Walnut Grove pool is one of the most expensive, requiring about $2 million annually to subsidize the costs. The existing Aldergrove outdoor pool brings in about $18,000 in revenues over three months, while the costs are about $33,000 for that same period. Davis observed that he learned to swim at the Aldergrove pool and still brings his family there every summer, and that the facility serves the community as well as it ever has. And while he supports working on a larger pool here he said he was “disappointed” to hear that the Aldergrove Pool Committee isn’t prepared to help finance the project. Nicolato replied that people in Aldergrove have been “promised a new pool for years; they’re fed up and frustrated. We’re not getting clear messages... we need to see a shovel in the ground.” It was also noted by Fox that a previous commitment to set aside reserves from Township property sales for the project “was rescinded because it pitted communities against other communities.” Fox said that while money will be taken from that “pot” for a new recreation centre in Aldergrove, none of the funds are “specific to the project. The property fund varies daily as we buy and sell property, as we always have.”

The James Shortreed residence in Aldergrove has been designated an official heritage site.

Aldergrove house now a designated heritage site SHORTREED HOUSE WAS BUILT IN THE 1920S

D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The former Aldergrove home of James and Laura Shortreed has been formally declared a heritage site. The July 21 vote by Township council was unanimous. Shortreed built the house in the 1920s on 26B Avenue, about 40 years after his family first bought property in the area. James was the son of Robert Shortreed, one of the earliest landowners in the Aldergrove area. The elder Shortreed was the local justice of the peace for 36 years. Robert Shortreed also installed the first telegraph in

the area and ran a post office and general store at the intersection of Old Yale and County Line Roads, which was known as “Shortreed Corners.” His son and daughter-in-law commissioned a one-and-ahalf story wood house built with material produced by local mills, one that a report to Township council describes as typical for the period between the two World Wars. “The simplified, Craftsman-influenced design reflects the austerity of the immediate post-First World War era, but also demonstrates the nostalgic traditionalism that suffused North America after the end of the war and the return

of peace,” Township heritage planner Elaine Horricks wrote. The building was later relocated down the street to its current location in the 2600 block of 272A Street. Horricks called the James and Laura Shortreed residence a “significant historic asset” that “remains in substantially original condition” thanks to work by the current owners, Breanna Statler and Derek Crowie, to upgrade and restore the property. Statler and Crowie applied for the heritage designation, which is intended to protect the building from design changes or demolition in years to come.

Student learning blossoms in outdoor classrooms

GRANT TO BE USED TO CREATE INDIGENOUS GARDEN New funding from a national program will create an indigenous garden at Aldergrove Community Secondary School. ACSS received $2,000 in funding from Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds, a Canada-wide program that helps create inviting, dynamic school grounds with diverse natural features. The funding will support ACSS’s greening project to create a community-accessible indigenous garden adjacent to the north wing of the school. This is the first in a multiphase project that aims to improve a large portion of the currently under-used school grounds bordering 29 Avenue. The new indigenous garden will give students, present and future, the opportunity to learn about and connect with nature right on their own school grounds. ACSS’s project will consist of excavating the existing gravelly soil and bringing in high-quality topsoil and mulch, creating gravel paths that will weave throughout the area and connect existing paths with 29 Avenue, and planting a wide array of species that are native to the Aldergrove area.

“We knew we had an opportunity to give our students something special,” says John Pusic, principal of ACSS. “Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds and Sunrise Toyota generously helped give our students the opportunity to get their hands dirty and learn from nature on our school grounds.” Toyota has a rich history of respect for people, continuous improvement (or kaizen) and giving in the communities where associates and customers live, work and play. Since 2000, Toyota Canada and Evergreen have partnered to bring school communities together to transform barren school grounds into healthy, natural and creative outdoor classrooms. The Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds program has reached more than 3,000 schools across Canada providing funding and consulting support. The program connects with schools locally through regional Evergreen consultants and Toyota dealerships across the country. Benefits of school ground greening projects are many: increased enthusiasm for learn-

ing, environmental awareness and stewardship, enhanced motivation for teaching, improved student behaviour, increased physical activity and opportunities for community involvement in school life. “Respect for the environment is built into Toyota’s core values, and aligning with like-minded partners like Evergreen allows us to share this respect with future generations,” says Seiji Ichii, president and CEO, Toyota Canada Inc. “Toyota Canada is proud to support the Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds program. Through the program, over 1.4 million Canadian children to-date have learned to respect the environment, and their enthusiasm for nature will ensure a greener world in the future.” “A learning experience through nature can instill a lifelong sense of stewardship and environmental activism in students,” says Geoff Cape, executive director, Evergreen. “Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds helps Canadian schools transform lifeless, asphalt yards into green school grounds to give students the opportunity to play and learn in a natural environment.”

A house with a bit of history HERITAGE SOCIETY RESTORES LATTIMER HOUSE

D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The historic Lattimer House stands slightly taller and to one side of its original location, the result of a year-long restoration campaign by the Langley Heritage Society that moved the small wooden two-storey onto a new, slightly higher foundation next door and fixed it up, inside and out. The house on 216 Street near Glover Road is more than 100 years old. It was built on what used to be the Hudson Bay Farm, a 40acre spread which was subdivided by the owners when the BC Electric Railway, the interurban streetcar service, arrived in 1910. The house was acquired around 1920 by David Lattimer when he returned home from the First World War. An article in the Heritage Society newsletter described a visit to the restored house by former resident Betty (Lattimer) Miller, who said the family lived

Miller, who visited her former home during an open house hosted last month by the society, said the layout had been altered since she lived there, to move the stairs from the kitchen to the front room. She said the unusual spelling

of her family name was because the military mistakenly added an extra “t” to the name on her father’s pension cheques, so he started using the new spelling in order to cash the payments. The day after the open house, new residents moved in, tenants who have agreed to respect its heritage character.

RECORD TURNOUT FOR LANGLEY REMEMBRANCE DAY CEREMONIES

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es

A veteran salutes his fallen comrades during a Remembrance Day ceremony held at the Langley City cenotaph in Douglas Park. Services were also held in Fort Langley and Aldergrove.

The right fit for you.

A larger than usual crowd of more than 2,000 people attended the Remembrance Day ceremonies in Langley City on Tuesday. The mood was especially solemn in the wake of the attacks that killed Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo last month in separate incidents in Eastern Canada. There were signs of heightened security along the shortened parade route to the cenotaph in Douglas Park, with what appeared to be more RCMP officers than usual, including a black SUV with officers in body armour observing the crowd. After two minutes of silence on

the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour, wreaths were laid in the memory of the two men and their many fellow soldiers who died before them in service to their country. Attendance at the service in Aldergrove was also larger than usual, and there was increased police presence, with an RCMP officer stationed on the roof of the Legion building. The Fraser Blues aerial team did flypasts of the Remembrance Day services. The service at the cenotaph in Fort Langley, organized by members of the community, also had a large crowd attending.

GVHBA prepares for annual Coats for Kids campaign The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) is preparing for its 19th-annual Coats for Kids campaign in support of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, a group whose many initiatives help to provide

a brighter Christmas for families in need. “Last year the response to Coats for Kids was heartwarming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new unwrapped toys and gifts for

distribution to children, teenagers and adults,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Coats for Kids has become an institution of the association. We already have members calling to sign up,” says de Wit. “Our

Blanket Drive marks 20 years

GR A D UAT E S T UDIE S

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the largest and longest running blanket drive in the Lower Mainland. Over two decades, the Realtors Care Blanket Drive has helped bring warmth to more than 250,000 residents. From Nov. 17 to 24, realtors across the region will work with their clients to co-ordinate donations of blankets, sleeping bags, warm winter clothing, and new socks and underwear for those most in need. The donations are then sorted and delivered to charities and organizations in the same area in which they were collected. They are asking anyone with donations to please drop them off at any of their 100 plus participating real estate offices. To find a participating office near you, go to www.blanketdrive.ca.

but for his younger sister. “It’s the stories like these that continue to move us and motivate us to make a difference,” says Ray Werger, president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. “As realtors, one of our core values is how we connect with and serve our communities, which is fundamentally what our Blanket Drive is all about; helping our neighbours live a little easier.” “Twenty incredible years would not be possible without the help of our dedicated volunteers, media support and generous donations from the public. Each year, we’re able to serve even more people like that young boy and his sister, by providing them with quality clothing items and blankets that they really need. Let’s keep that going.”

Langley Christian’s Olivia Heinen sets up the attack during her team’s victory over Langley Fundamental in the junior girls district volleyball finals at the Langley Events Centre.

The secret to their success? Togetherness. That is how coach Lisa Bontkes explains the success of her Langley Christian Lightning junior girls volleyball team. “They play without fear, they support each other no matter what,” Bontkes said. “They are just an amazing group of girls, a very tight group.” The Lightning defeated the Langley Fundamental Titans 3-0 in the district championship final at the Langley Events Centre last week (Nov. 6). Langley Christian won by scores of 25-11, 25-17 and 25-9 and they are off to the Fraser Valley championships. The tournament runs Nov. 15, 17 and 18 at Surrey’s Pacific Academy. Winning districts comes as little surprise to Bontkes, largely because the players — and

coach — are so familiar with one another. She has coached the majority of the team at the club and high school level since they were in Grade 5. “They have played with each other since they were (younger) so there is a bond more than volleyball,” Bontkes explained. “They trust each other.” It has been a stellar season for the team which has lost just one game all season — at the Christian schools’ tournament against Abbotsford’s MEI Eagles. That loss may need an asterisk however, as the Lightning were without their captain, setter Olivia Heinen. “Our goal is to come out (of Fraser Valleys) No. 1,” Bontkes said, adding they have played and beaten a lot of the province’s top teams. In the third-place game, Walnut Grove beat Credo Christian.

Titans look to build on last season’s success GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Step one is done, but the Langley Fundamental Titans have their eye on a bigger prize. The Titans junior boys volleyball team captured the Langley district championship banner last week (Nov. 6) with a clinical 3-0 straight-sets victory over their Langley Christian Lightning rivals. The match was played at the Langley Events Centre with the Titans winning 25-19, 25-20 and 25-20. The Titans were able to establish their offence and set up their attack, said coach Dan Johnson. “Our whole team passed pretty well and that was key for us,” he said.

“We run a fast offence so that the blockers can’t set up. That was our game plan and the guys made it work pretty good.” Zec Johnson, did a good job in quarterbacking the attack to get isolation for the team’s two big hitters — Phil Stahl and Max Heppell — who buried the ball on their opportunities. The fact the Titans won districts isn’t a big surprise as they were the top team after going 4-0 in the regular season. “We knew we would have a good team,” Johnson said. “It is whether or not you can put it all together. “We seem to be playing well as a team.” But winning districts was just the first goal for the team, which also has its sights set on

doing well at the Fraser Valley championships and then hopefully qualify for the provincial championships. The Fraser Valleys will be held Nov. 16, 17 and 18 at Earl Marriott Secondary. The team came third at provincials in 2013. “Last year we had a lot of Grade 9s that were key players (so) this year they are bigger and stronger,” Johnson said. It also helps that the team’s core has played together in the club season as well, helping the Force Volleyball Club capture the U15 national championship back in May. In the third-place game, it was the Walnut Grove Gators defeating the Credo Christian Kodiaks.

It was not the smoothest of beginnings for the Langley Fundamental volleyball season. With the school year start delayed by weeks because of the teachers’ strike, public schools were already behind the eight-ball when classes finally resumed in late September. At the Titans’ Grade 8 boys volleyball team’s first practice, head coach Jan Ellison said the turnout was lower than anticipated. “I ended up having to pull up four Grade 7s (so we had enough players),” said Titans coach Jan Ellison. “So we have a pretty young and inexperienced team.” The team entered a tournament near the start of the season with a poor showing. “But then they started to gel … they started working together and building each other up and really started working as a team. “And now we have

with Credo Christian, all finished league play with 4-1 records, meaning a tiebreaker had to determine the standings. In the district semifinals, the Titans were able to avenge their loss to Credo Christian, while the other semifinal saw Langley Christian beat H.D. Stafford. In the final, the teams traded the first two sets before the Titans took sets three and four. In the team’s lone previous meeting, it was Langley Fundamental prevailing in five sets. “It is always close with Langley Christian,” Ellison said. “They are always a strong competitor … so this could have been anyone’s game.” “My boys really wanted it; they moved as a team, were talking and playing aggressively and smart,” she added. “We had errors, but they shook it off and came back strong.” The coach also credited her bench for their verbal encouragement. With the win, Langley Fundamental qualified for the Fraser Valley championships, which are being held at Earl Marriott Secondary on Nov. 14 and 15. Langley Christian faces a wild-card game with a victory advancing the team to the tournament. Credo Christian won the third-place game at districts.

Lightning rally to down Gators in Grade 8 final GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

After dropping the first set 25-20, the Langley Christian Lightning did not panic. Through their first five league matches,

the Grade 8 girls volleyball team had not dropped a single set en route to a 5-0 record. But here they were facing an 0-1 hole to the Walnut Grove Gators after dropping the first set of the Grade 8

girls district volleyball championship game. The game was played on Nov. 4 at the Langley Events Centre. The Lightning rattled off three straight victories, winning 25-20, 2518 and 25-12 to claim the district title. “Our season has gone very well,” said Laura Folkerts, who coaches the team alongside Bev Beimers.

“The transition from Grade 7 volleyball to Grade 8 volleyball is huge, but the girls have stepped up to the challenge and are playing some good volleyball.” Langley Christian’s key all season has been their passing attack. “Our passing has been a huge strength; it has allowed us to control our posses-

sion of the ball and get three touches,” Beimers said. “It also prevents other teams from going on point runs against us.” This was the first time the Lightning had faced the Gators this season as they were in opposite pools for league play. “We knew they had some good athletes on

their team and it would be a great matchup,” Folkerts said. “In the end, our passing and our ability to bounce back and stick to our game plan of playing our positions and getting three touches paid off and we were able to come out on top.” In addition to winning districts, the Lightning came first at

a tournament at Lord Tweedsmuir and second at their own tournament. Both Langley Christian and Walnut Grove advance to the Fraser Valley championships, which will be hosted by the Lightning Nov. 14 and 15. In the third-place game, Credo Christian defeated Langley Fundamental.

Rams top Mustangs A first-place showdown went in favour of the top seed, the South Delta Rams. The Rams showed why they hold top spot over the second-place Langley Mustangs, winning the bantam football game convincingly, by a 36-6 on Sunday at McLeod Athletic Park. South Delta’s quarterback ran roughshod over the Langley defence with three rushing touchdowns while tossing another two scores in the victory. The Mustangs defence struggled with some poor tackling and sloppy pass coverage. The team was also hurt by untimely penalties. One negated a long punt return which would have put Langley deep in Rams territory. The other penalty wiped out a fumble return for a touchdown. The offence had opportunities to score, as they twice had first and goal situations, but both times were unable to punch the ball into the end zone. Langley’s offence also took a hit as they lost their starting quarterback, Colton Dejong, to injury in the second quarter.

Bantam, peewee Bears off to finals

The North Langley bantam Bears are through to the Vancouver Mainland Football League finals after a shutout victory. Jacob Stebbings threw touchdown passes on consecutive series to Andy Hanlen (33 yards) and Alex Henderson (36 yards) in a 14-0 victory over the Mission Niners on Sunday at McLeod Athletic Park. Nick Lecroix was a standout on the Bears defence, constantly blitzing and disrupting the Mission offence. Charlie May also came up with an interception to snuff out a Niners drive. The game ended at halftime as Mission found themselves without enough healthy bodies to continue. North Langley faces Richmond in the finals on Nov. 15. ••• They needed overtime, but it was the North Langley Bears who advanced to the finals in a defensive battle.

Runner quietly goes about his community work

Trinity Western Spartansâ€™ fifthyear runner Mihai Prajea won the CIS cross-country community service award at the awards banquet on Friday. The kinesiology student is heavily involved in the community as, outside of his training and his studies, he spends three days a week volunteering with local organizations. On Tuesdays, Prajea volunteers with The Centre for Child Development, which runs various programs that help children who have developmental disabilities. On Thursdays, he works with a

group of senior citizens at Langley Lodge, where he engages with individuals through a variety of activities and social opportunities. Then, on Saturdays, he volunteers his time with WORK Core, which is a university program at TWU where students help local families or individuals with house or yard work. â€œAs the head coach of a program I like to think that I know the athletes on our team very well, but sometimes it is only when one puts pen to paper in submission of an award that I recognize the amazing things they do to posi-

tively impact others,â€? said Spartans coach Laurier Primeau. â€œMihai quietly volunteers his time three days per week and gives back to community in so many ways. And he does it without any show or fanfare; so much so that I was unaware of all the work he did until I asked our team captain to reveal what things our athletes were doing on a volunteer basis.Â The reason I didnâ€™t know about his involvement is because Mihai doesnâ€™t do it for the award or the recognition.Â He does it because it is the right thing to do.â€?

Event Program

Spartan women second at nationals For the first time in program history, the Trinity Western Spartans cross-country team placed second at the national championships. The womenâ€™s cross-country team won the Canada West banner and also placed second at the CIS nationals. Competing in St. Johnâ€™s, Nfld. at the Pippy Park Golf Course on Saturday (Nov. 8), the Spartans were led by Sarah Inglis, who finished fifth overall â€” and first among Canada West athletes. She completed the six-km race in 22:58.3 and shattered her 29thplace finish from 2013. Inglis was also named the Canada West female athlete of the year. Running in winds that peaked near 110 km per hour, accompanied by rain and sometimes haillike conditions, the Spartans bettered their fourth place finish from last yearâ€™s national champion-

ships as the second place finish marks TWUâ€™s best-ever result. Itâ€™s also the first time in the cross country programâ€™s history that TWU has won back-to-back conference titles. Alison Jackson (23:04.6) was seventh while Fiona Benson (23:16.8) was 10th. On the womenâ€™s side, Spartans endurance coach Mark Bomba was named the Canada West Coach of the Year. On the menâ€™s side, Joel De Schiffart led the way with a ninth-place finish, helping the Spartans finish seventh at nationals and second in the Canada West. De Schiffartâ€™s time of 34.25.8 in the 10-km race earned him a CIS second team all-Canadian honour and a Canada West first team all-star nod. He is the first Spartans male cross country athlete to be named a CIS all-Canadian.

Alberta sweeps Spartans in basketball action The Trinity Western Spartans men’s basketball team is still looking for their first victory after dropping a pair of games to the Alberta Golden Bears. The Spartans lost 85-59 and 85-66 to the visiting Bears on Friday and Saturday at the Langley Events Centre to fall to 0-4 on the season. The second game saw the Spartans trailing by just two points at the half, but Alberta dominated the final two quarters to win by 17 points. The Spartans were led by Kelvin Smith, who had 14 points

and six rebounds, and first-year Kosia Kauw, who made his first start with TWU and had a gamehigh 12 boards to go with nine points. Fellow freshman Nick Tancon also had a strong night, playing 21 minutes and collecting six points and four boards. “I was very impressed with Kosia’s energy,” said Spartans coach Scott Allen. “He deserved to get the start and he played well. Nick Tancon also had a stellar game and between the two of them, they logged 45 minutes. “Other than those two, as a team, we just can’t seem to look

after the ball and we’re not seeing things properly. But we’ll regroup and get ready for Lethbridge next weekend.” Denny McDonald (12 points) and Justin Bakuteka (10 points) led the Spartans in Friday’s defeat. The Trinity Western women’s team also lost twice over the weekend to the visiting Alberta Pandas, seeing their record fall to 2-2. The Spartans fell 89-55 on Friday and 88-65 on Saturday to the third-ranked Pandas. “We went after it today and we

challenged them and showed some different looks defensively,” said Spartans coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. “I think that really struck a cord with the girls and their ability to come onto the floor and contribute. We had some key shifts from some of the athletes that have been waiting for opportunities. I thought they took their opportunities really well and showed some good things.” “I think some of the things we did against this team is going to help us beat other teams,” JeanPaul said. “I think the team did a

better job of making a statement and protecting their key a little better. We’re talking about an Alberta team that doesn’t miss a lot of shots and we just have to find a way to battle through some of those things.” Jessie Brown led the Spartans with 16 points while Kayla Gordon had five assists. In Friday’s game, Luca Schmidt (16 points) and Chantelle Martin (13 points) led the way. Both Spartan teams are in action at the LEC this weekend as they host the Lethtbridge Pronghorns.

A road trip to the Okanagan seems to have cured what ailed the Valley West Hawks. The BC Hockey Major Midget League team ended a four-game winless streak by taking three of four points from the Okanagan Rockets, winning 4-3 Saturday and playing to a 3-3 draw Sunday morning in Kelowna. “These are the most satisfying three points we’re earned this season,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “I was very proud of the sacrifice and determination showed this weekend. I don’t think there’s a single player that wasn’t treated by our trainer or was sporting an ice pack at some point.” The Hawks came from behind for the victory, going into the third period trailing 2-1 to a team battling for first place in the 11-team elite league for 15-17 year-olds. Valley West, comprised for players from the Surrey, Semiahmoo, Langley and Cloverdale minor hockey associations, tied the game a minute into the final frame on a goal from Wyatt Hicks of Langley. Justin De Vos of Surrey put the visitors up 3-2 with 11 minutes to play, then with just two minutes to go, Langley’s Christian Bosa notched his second of the game for the 4-3 advantage. The Rockets got one back with 20 seconds to play, but lost for just the fourth time in 13 games. Nic Tallarico of Surrey made 30 saves in the Valley West goal, including two on breakaways. Bosa added another pair of goals Sunday morning, as the two teams traded the lead three times. Trevor Ayre of Semiahmoo put the Hawks up 3-2 early in the their period, with Okanagan getting the game-tying goal with nine minutes to play. Valley West is now tied for fifth place with the Vancouver Chiefs, each with 7-5-2 (won-losttied) records. The teams play a pair of head-tohead games next weekend, facing off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in the Langley Events Centre, and Sunday at 11:45 a.m. at Planet Ice - Coquitlam.

Outstanding goaltending leads the way BO DIDUR NEARLY FLAWLESS AS RIVERMEN NETMINDER GOES 4-0 WITH .960 SAVE PERCENTAGE TO HELP JUNIOR A HOCKEY CLUB GO 4-1 DURING BUSY WEEK Led by the outstanding goaltending of Bo Didur, the Langley Rivermen are rolling. The junior A hockey club wrapped up a stretch of five games in seven nights with a 2-1 double overtime victory over the West Kelowna Warriors on Tuesday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre. Langley (10-7-1-3, 24 points) won four of the five games and now sit just two points back of the Prince George Spruce Kings (12-7-0-2, 26 points) for top spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division. The Chilliwack Chiefs (11-40-1, 23 points) are in third place but have five games in hand on both teams. Didur was in goal for all four victories — 5-1 over Merritt on Nov. 5, 3-2 over Chilliwack on Nov. 6, 6-1 against Surrey on Monday and then against Kelow-

na. He stopped 120 of the 125 shots he faced — a .960 save percentage — and was named first star twice and second star in his other two starts. The Rivermen’s lone defeat was a 7-1 loss to Chilliwack on Saturday in the middle of that stretch with goaltender Darren Martin getting tagged with the loss. Against the Warriors, Langley was outshot 28-16 but picked up the extra point when Jacob Kearley scored the winner when he was left alone in the slot during three-on-three hockey. It came after the Rivermen had finished killing a penalty in the first overtime period. “We did a good job killing a penalty in overtime and I was at the end of my shift,” said Kearley. “It was a little risky but it ended up working the way I wanted to

Langley Rivermen goaltender Bo Didur looks past the screen of Prince George’s Jarryd Leung and Langley’s Charlie Pelnik during BCHL action at the Langley Events Centre on Oct. 30. Didur helped the team go 4-1 as they played five games in a seven-night stretch. and we came away with the win.” Zac Masson picked up the lone assist on the goal as he fed Kear-

ley the pass from behind the net. Matthew Graham had the other Langley goal, opening the scor-

ing late in the first. The Warriors’ Jonathan Desbiens got the visitors on the board early in the third. “Bo’s been a wall for us back there,” said captain Kevan Kilistoff. “He’s given us opportunities to win and we’ve been able to capitalize on them.” “It was another strong game from him,” said Rivermen coach and general manager Bobby Henderson. “We’re starting to expect this from Bo and he’s coming through for us time and time again.” For the season, Didur is tied for first in the league with a .931 save percentage and is fourth with a 2.27 goals against average. Against Surrey on Monday night at South Surrey Arena, Hunter Anderson led the way with two goals and an assist while Ryan Coulter had a goal and two helpers. Domenic Masellis and William Campion each had a goal and assist and Graham had the other goal. The team now gets a full week off before they embark on a twogame road trip to West Kelowna and Penticton on Nov. 18 and 19.

The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload.

From March to October, those looking for some wholesome family fun (and maybe some tailgating, whatever you interpret that to be!) are invited to the dirt track to watch him, along with fellow sprint car racers and demolition derby participants. It takes place at the appropriately named “Paradise Speedway Maui.” Here’s the website in case you’re as curious as I am (http://www.paradisespeedwaymaui.com) Regardless, I thanked him for his invite to the end-of-season event but our schedule was packed to the brim. Lahaina was a quick commute (sometimes) from the Honua Kai resort where all of us gathered. It was a breath of fresh air. Not only because we got off the resort, but it borders along a picturesque coastline. It’s the kind of coastline that postcards are made of: full of palm trees shimmying to the music of the wind. There you encounter scooters buzzing by, happy couples hand-in-hand and many modes of transportation intermingling. Front Street in Lahaina has a little bit of magic to it, too. In 2011, it was named by the American Planning Association as one of the “Great Streets.” Not every street can be great. They have guidelines. The visit was all too short and then traffic met us on the other end. What happens when you want to escape the drawbacks of paradise driving and you’re stuck in in the back seat of a car? Perhaps this is the answer. Envision yourself on a beach, holding a (virgin) piña colada. You’re lying on your towel with your eyes closed, let the crashing waves penetrate your ears. Then picture yourself driving your fastest lap at the Nürburgring. Now that’s paradise. Until the driver behind you honks and you get to crawl forward a metre or so. “You’ll be at the beach soon,” you repeat to yourself. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

2006/2007: An ABS wheel speed sensor O-ring seal may allow water to enter the rear wheel bearing and eventually cause damage, especially in areas where use of road salt is prevalent. Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace ABS sensor O-ring seals and rear wheel bearings. 2009: A fault in the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system could result in an immediate loss of power steering assist without warning to the driver. The electric power steering module will be replaced under a special extended warranty (coverage of 10 years/240,000 km) for vehicles which experience this condition. 2011: There’s an increased risk of fuel leakage in a roll-over crash due to a potentially faulty Roll-Over Valve (ROV) within the fuel pump module. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel pump module assembly. Acura CSX

The Acura CSX was made in Canada and only sold in Canada. Essentially it’s a sportier and more luxurious Honda Civic as it shares most major parts, other than engines. So, an owner not only gets the renowned reliability, fuel efficiency and functionality of a Civic, but also a higher level of performance and luxury ... very nice! First released for the 2006 model year, CSX came with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that can also be found in an Acura RSX, with slightly different tuning. A suspension upgrade also gives CSX better handling than a Civic and it originally came in Tour- Bob McHugh ing and Premium (with leather upholstery, Xenon headlights and a power sunroof) trim levels. A new more performance oriented version called the Type-S replaced Premium for the 2007 model year. The standard 2.0-litre engine can produce 155 horsepower, but the 2.0-litre in a Type-S version can churn-out 197 horsepower. The manual transmission in a base CSX is a five-speed, while the Type-S has a six-speed. A fivespeed automatic transmission was a popular option, An automatic model also comes with steering wheel mounted paddle-shift (manual) controls. Using the newly revised (and more realistic) fuel economy rating method, a CSX (auto) should get 10.9/7.8 L/100 km (city/ highway) and 10.0/7.6 L/100 km (city/highway) with the manual transmission. Other than leather upholstery, which became standard on every CSX, there were no significant changes for 2008 model year. In 2009, the CSX got a minor facelift up front and 17-inch wheels, fog lights and USB port for audio players all became standard equipment. The CSX Type-S became the CSX i-Tech (and came with xenon headlights, a navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity) for the 2011 model year, its final year of production. A used CSX doesn’t cost too much more than a top-line Civic. Not only do you get more content and performance, Acura models also come with a longer warranty than Honda. Full coverage is for 4 years or 80,000 km, compared to 3 years/60,000 km from Honda. You won’t find ratings for an Acura CSX in Consumer Reports or the results of any US crash testing. However, it’s safe to assume that it would achieve similar results to the Honda Civic, which does spectacularly well in owner survey ratings and also receives top ratings occupant protection in a collision. Used prices may be on the high side, but if you like the Honda Civic, yet desire a little extra pampering and performance, take a look and a drive in used Acura CSX.

Hard driven to deflate a puncture resistant tire By Rob Rothwell The rush of air escaping a tire is not a sound one hopes to hear deep in the outback. According to a tire industry study, 84 percent of tire failures incurred off-road are due to sidewall puncture, often rendering tires irrepairable. BF Goodrich has done something about this deflating fact. High in Canada’s rugged Rocky Mountains is where they chose to launch their revised KO line of all-terrain tires. Termed “KO2,” the new boots bring forth many improvements to a tire already considered by many in the off-roading community to be the benchmark. That reputation was earned through a longstanding commitment to off-road racing and motorsports – winning the Baja 1000 more than all other tire manufacturers combined – and its advances in tire technology since introducing the first all-terrain tire back in 1976. The tire manufacturer claims that the KO2 sidewall is 20 percent stronger than the original KO tire, and incorporates an advanced deflection system designed to prevent protruding objects, such as pointy branches, from snagging and splitting the sidewall. A handful of crusty auto journalists, more used to testing cars rather than tires, ventured to Lake Louise in the Rockies to put the tires through a reality test. BF Goodrich supplied a series of off-road exercises in which we pushed the limits of the KO2s, all of which were 20-inch 55-series tires shod upon new Chevrolet Silverado 4X4 pickups. It’s important to note that these weren’t extra-large off-road tires, they were typical replacements.

The highway portion of our drive delivered a pleasant surprise; the KO2s produced much less road noise than expected given their heavy lug-based tread pattern. While likely not as quiet as the original-equipment tires on Chevy’s latest Silverado, their whine was modest and unobtrusive. Forty minutes after departing the majesty of Lake Louise and its aqua-blue waters, we exited Banff National Park and headed for private testing lands. Moving from tarmac, we encountered just about every conceivable surface one might face during an off-road excursion. Despite my best effort to burrow the KO2s deep into a mud pit, the putty-like ooze never overwhelmed them. With a little throttle prodding, the tires managed to clear away the earthen oatmeal, finding footing enough to pull 5,500 pounds of truck out of the quagmire with ease. Other testing locales included a rock crawl, steep ascents/descents, and a log pit with sharp upward-pointing knots. The latter reputed for inflicting sudden death on typical trail tires. Sidewalls are vulnerable, and the weakest part of a typical tire. A truck was parked atop a pointy knot. Despite the pointy knot digging into the sidewall with extreme pressure, the tire never succumbed to the silent killer in the bush. Our day in the Rockies saw 20 Silverados – in other words 80 KO2s – performing exercise after exercise with zero failures. No flats and no stuck trucks. rrothwell@telus.net

OBITUARIES

CURRY M. Jacqueline (Jackie) (nee Milne) Nov. 16, 1924 ~ Nov 6., 2014

Sadly we announce the passing of Jackie Curry. Predeceased by her parents Charlotte Ruth Clay and Peter Duncan Milne; brothers Bill and Bob and sisters Ruth, Marguerite and Doreen. She is survived by sister Sally Crooks, son Ken Curry (Char), grandchildren Erin and Russ, great-grandson Tyler, as well as many nieces and nephews. Jackie was born and grew up in Vancouver joining the RCAF, as a flight controller for the duration of WWII. She was a natural and gifted athlete who excelled in sports - especially baseball. Few ball players could throw the ball from centre field to home plate for that “out” like Jackie. After many years in the Yukon, she moved to BC and finally to Aldergrove, remaining there for the rest of her days. Special thanks owed to Jackie’s caregivers, Nurse Kelly and her team, and Dr. Methven. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the SPCA or the charity of your choice. A private family memorial will be held at a later date.

Karl-Heinz (Karl) Vierke (87), a longtime resident of Langley, who was born in Pyritz, Germany June 18, 1927, passed away suddenly on Friday, November 7, 2014 at the Nursing Home where he has resided since being diagnosed with Lewy Bodies Dementia. With this one exception, he overcame life’s obstacles with hard work, determination and intelligence. These qualities made him a very successful man in any situation from finding his way in a new country or cultivating a new breed of fish. He will be dearly missed by his loving wife Eloise; his daughters Ilona Rasmussen and Carla (Richard) Vierke his son Peter (Karen) Vierke and stepchildren Michael (Monica) Mayo and Cathie (Todd) Johnson, eleven grandchildren and three great grandchildren, along with many special friends. At Karl’s request, there will not be a formal service but rather a gathering of family and friends at our home in the form of an Open House 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm Saturday, November 15, 2014. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to a charity of your choice or the Canadian Alzheimer’s Association. I would like to give special thanks to the loving staff at Simpson Manor who have over the past 2½ years attended him with dignity and loving care. Online condolences to the family may be made to: www.wiebeandjeskefh.com

7 Born at home near Vancouver’s Fraser Street on August 17, 1931, John died at home in Langley surrounded by his children and with his wife, Mary, curled up beside him. John loved fire and pie, barn dances, road trips, efficient meetings, ladyfingers in a wood stove, sleek cattle, black dogs, good books, and especially people. He came from humble beginnings and never forgot his roots. He grew up near 47th and Fraser in Vancouver, with rich ties to his mother’s ranching family in the Cariboo, originally in Empire Valley, west of the Fraser River, and later at 57 Mile House and in Clinton. He attended John Oliver High School and graduated from medical school at UBC in 1956. Taking his new bride, he began a rotating internship that summer at Lloyd Noland Hospital in Fairfield Alabama. After much consideration, he decided to become an orthopedic surgeon, completing his residency at UBC and his Royal College exam in 1962, and entering practice the following year, with his office at Hycroft Medical until 1989. He taught medical students and orthopedic residents for almost thirty years and was a common caricature on skits night. He loved the community of VGH. John loved well, read widely, and had an incredible gift of recall. He was a good apologizer and an expert napper. He appreciated a good joke, good directions, and a morning at Green Lake. He had many interests, but his heart remained at “The Farm” and over the years he got much pleasure from it, especially that summer in the 1970s when his Jersey cow, Peter Lorre, gave enough milk to make 32 flavours of ice cream. He was a member of the Osler Society of Vancouver, President of the BC Simmental Association, director of the Canadian Simmental Association, longtime member of the Williams Lake Bull Sale Committee, and a board member of the Otter Farmer’s Institute --the Coop -- for nine years, some of them as president. John is survived by his wife Kathryn Mary (MacKinnon) Watt and his children and grandchildren: Beth (Peter Vieira) Duncan and John; Heather; Hugh (Sandy) Jack, Finn, and Kate; Jane (Greg Antle) Tom, Georgie, and Will; Bruce (Tammy Jackman) and his daughter Mary McNamee and her mother Pauline in Ireland; Maggie (Alan MacInnes) Joe, Calum, and Coll. He thought of Bo Hedges as an honourary son. His family would like to thank the many doctors and nurses at VGH and LMH who had a role in his care over the years for their excellence, compassion, and ability to share a laugh as they went about their day. Honour John by paying a visit to a friend. A celebration of his life will be held at Langley Golf Centre, 21550 44 Ave, Langley on November 15th at noon. In lieu of flowers, donations to UBC’s John G. Watt Memorial Fund would be appreciated. See http:// memorial.supporting.ubc.ca/john-g-watt/
