Langley chamber opposes transit referendum Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has come out against the proposed “Congestion Improvement Tax,” which is being proposed to provide additional money for TransLink to extend bus service, replace the Pattullo Bridge and add new rapid transit lines.

The chamber board voted not to support the referendum, which proposes a .5 per cent dedicated regional tax to fund the transit and transportation infrastructure expansion plan in the Metro Vancouver Region. It is going against the position of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce and most Lower Mainland chambers.

For the past several years, the Lang-

ley chamber has advocated for “mobility pricing” to provide a user-pay, sustainable funding source, which is equitable and provides the ability to impact demand management in the Metro Vancouver region.

“We are disappointed that the current proposals do not have concrete plans to ensure the regional tax is temporary and facilitate transition to mobility pricing in the near future,” said a chamber press release.

One of the board’s concerns was that the congestion improvement tax proposal has a “lack of stated mechanisms to mitigate the negative impact on Langley due to

leakage of investment and consumers into Abbotsford and the U.S. to avoid a regional tax.” It is also concerned that South of Fraser projects may be delayed or deferred if other largher projects go over budget, or incur construction delays.

“We will continue to lobby for the implementation of mobility pricing to fund transportation improvements in the region,” the press release stated.

Meanwhile on Thursday, the provincial government released the question and approved the referendum, which will be officially called the Metro Vancouver Transportation and Transit Plebiscite.

In a letter to the Metro mayors council,

Virk out of advanced education T O M F L ETC H E R Bla ck Pre s s

Premier Christy Clark moved embattled cabinet minister Amrik Virk out of his advanced education ministry role on Thursday, as the government wrapped up its probe into unauthorized signing bonuses for new executives at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Virk trades cabinet jobs with Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Andrew Wilkinson, who was serving as technology, innovation and citizens’ services minister.

The announcement came after the government released the latest results of a probe of the Kwantlen hirings.

Virk was an inspector with the Langley RCMP and volunteer Kwantlen board member before being elected MLA for Surrey-Tynehead in the May, 2013 election.

In November, the NDP produced emails that contradicted Virk’s claim he was not involved in a decision to get around B.C. salary guidelines for university executives.

Virk said he forgot about an email exchange where he proposed a research allowance for then-University of Regina dean of business Ann Lavack for the position of vice-president academic at Kwantlen. B.C. public service pay rules limited the position to $170,000 a year, and Lavack took the job in 2011 with a $20,000 research allowance and

Former Langley RCMP Insp. Amrik Virk has been B.C.’s advanced education minister since last May, but has now switched portfolios with Andrew Wilkinson, due to his involvement in a Kwantlen Polytechnic University executive compensation plan. a $50,000 “consulting fee.” Neither was reported to provincial officials.

Clark also announced three new cabinet assistant appointments. In one of them, Peace

River South MLA Mike Bernier takes a new position as parliamentary secretary for “energy literacy and the environment,” reporting to Environment Minister Mary Polak.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the new tax would apply to “the majority of goods and services that are subject to the PST and are sold or delivered within the region.”

Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore said making it a separate tax may still amount to the same thing for most residents, but he noted it does provide scope for the province to allow different exemptions, potentially for large purchases like cars.

Last week, car dealers raised concern they may lose business to competitors in the Fraser Valley if vehicle buyers face an extra 0.5 per cent tax within Metro.

Avian flu found at second Langley farm A second Langley poultry farm has been quarantined due to the outbreak of the avian flu.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said on Wednesday that the farm, the 11th so far, is located in Langley, and has 11,800 broiler and breeder chickens. As is the case at the other farms identified thus far, all birds will be euthanized.

Of the 11 farms identified thus far, eight are in Abbotsford, one in Chilliwack and two in Langley.

Three are turkey farms, with the remainder raising chickens for various uses. The total number of bird affected, all of whom are being euthanized, is 245,600.

Meanwhile,the avian flu has spread across the border, and at least one American expert isn’t impressed with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) response.

Biomedical researcher Henry Niman is concerned the highly pathogenic strain will spread throughout North America as wild birds begin winter migration.

No poultry farms in the U.S. were impacted as of Wednesday, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported Tuesday, Dec. 16 that the H5N2 strain found in Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley has been detected in northern pintail ducks in Lynden, Wash., fewer than 15 kilometres from the Fraser Valley cluster.

“The finding in Whatcom County was quickly reported and identified due to increased surveillance for avian influenza in light of the [highly pathogenic] H5N2 avian influenza affecting commercial poultry in British Columbia, Canada,” said a USDA statement issued Dec. 16.

In addition, a highly pathogenic H5N8 strain was found in Washington in three captive falcons that were fed hunter-killed wild birds.

Niman, who is president of Pittsburgh-based Recombinomics, analyzes viral evolution and the spread of disease.

“The wild birds really can’t be controlled, which is why this is a very big deal that could have a serious impact on poultry markets throughout the Americas,” Niman told Black Press.

“Poultry farmers throughout North America should be worried.”

Niman says the CFIA is trying to “manage the message” and downplay concerns, releasing information too slowly, something that could have far-reaching consequences.

The first farm where avian flu was detected was a broiler breeder farm with 13,000 birds in Chilliwack, although no other farms in the city have been directly impacted by the outbreak.

TWU sues over law school UNIVERSITY SAYS LAW SOCIETY HAS INFRINGED ON THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF TWU AND ITS STUDENTS

The Law Society of British Columbia violated the rights of Trinity Western University students when it withdrew approval for a controversial law school at the Langley campus.

The claim is contained in a statement announcing TWU will sue the Law Society over its Oct. 31 decision to withdraw recognition of the planned law school at the private Christian university.

The society regulates the more than 11,000 practising lawyers in the province.

“We have no choice but to proceed legally,” said TWU president Bob Kuhn.

“By prejudging our future law graduates not on their qualifications but the Community Covenant they agree to abide by while students at TWU, the Law Society has infringed on the human rights of TWU and its students.”

The law society reversed its decision following a province-wide vote of lawyers in B.C., most of whom object to the covenant that makes students and staff promise they won’t get involved in any relationship other than a married, heterosexual one.

Critics say the covenant is anti-gay and conflicts with a law-

The TWU statement announcing the intention to sue said the Law Society’s decision to rescind its prior approval was “not grounded on the quality of the TWU academic program, but rather was based on TWU’s religious view of marriage.”

Kuhn noted the university won a similar court fight in 2001 over its teacher training program when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled “there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that the religious views of TWU graduates lessen their

competence to practice their profession in Canada’s pluralistic society.”

Kuhn added the covenant also says that “all students and faculty are to love and respect other people, regardless of their background or personal characteristics. TWU is a community of diversity and acceptance.

This campus is a Christian home for four thousand students with an array of opinions and beliefs.”

The provincial advanced education minister has also rescinded approval of the TWU school.

Merry Musicians keep on playing FR AN K B U C H O LT Z Tim e s Re po r t e r

The Merry Musicians just refuse to call it quits.

While the ranks of the musical group have been thinned by death and old age, there are still enough of them ready to play lively music each Tuesday at the St. Joseph’s Church soup kitchen in Langley City.

On Tuesday, Dec. 16, they were rejoined by a former member — 101-year-old Bill Lowe, a tenor saxophone player. He now lives in North Vancouver, but played with the group for many years.

The Merry Musicians have been playing together for de-

cades. At one time, there were 13 of them. Now, there are usually eight, says Margaret Halcro, the 94-year-old pianist.

While she is legally blind, that doesn’t stop her from taking part in the musical group — or from a full and active life playing music and volunteering at Langley Seniors Centre. She is also active with the Kiwanis Club and Women of the Moose.

She has been playing the piano since she was three and onehalf years old.

Halcro says the group does not practice. Instead, they have made up about 16 separate set lists, and have a playlist

of about 40 songs. They are so used to each other than they just settle in and play.

Hazel Copeland, 79, is the group’s leader and plays the electric guitar. Art Pettit, 97, plays saxophone. Violinist is 90-year-old Frank Towne, while drummer Joe Sullivan is a youngster, in his late 70s. Evelyn Smith plays guitar and husband and wife team Ron Hergott and Georgina Talacko, in their 80s, play the accordion and mandolin, respectively.

The Merry Musicians also play on other occasions, as opportunities present themselves.

Township wants to hear from residents on pipeline twinning REQUEST TO BE SUBMITTED TO NEB ON JAN. 9 The Township of Langley is preparing to seek more answers about the Kinder Morgan pipeline project, and is encouraging residents who have an opinion on the project to voice their concerns.

The Township has been granted corporate intervener status in the National Energy Board’s hearing on the proposal to twin the Trans Mountain Pipeline, which runs through north Langley.

The municipality remains focused on several fundamental issues, including: 1. The potential environmental and socio-economic effects of the proposed project; 2. The suitability of the design and location of the proposed project; 3. Potential impacts of the project on landowners and land use; 4. The cost to taxpayers related to the installation and long-term operation of the pipeline; 5. Kinder Morgan’s co-operation in adhering to municipal bylaws and policies; and 6. Kinder Morgan’s accountability in adequately responding in case of an incident.

The Township will submit a request for more information to the National Energy Board by Jan. 9, 2015. Residents with relevant information regarding these issues must send their submissions to the Township before then.

Email publicinput@tol.ca or mail or deliver submissions to: Pipeline Input, c/o Township of Langley Engineering Division, 4700 – 224 Street, Langley, BC V2Z 1N4 This is the second round of public input that has been sought by the Township for submission to the National Energy Board.

In the summer, Kinder Morgan revised its corridor alignment to run through or around Redwoods Golf Course and through the industrial part of North West Langley toward Port Kells.

While Kinder Morgan has responded to Township questions, more detailed responses are being sought.

Question langeytimes.com

As the year ends, it’s time to think back on the many wonderful aspects of living in Langley.

It is one of the most beautiful communities in the Lower Mainland. The mountain views, winding rivers, trails, abundant open space, regional and local parks, and other features make for vistas and recreation opportunities that are hard to beat.

But open spaces and beautiful views alone aren’t enough to make a good community. That requires people and their myriad activities.

In some places, the human activity detracts from the surroundings. For the most part, that is not the case here.

A significant number of people here work hard to make the community better. Sometimes that is through their work — creating jobs, enhancing economic opportunities, helping other people and boosting other businesses.

Sometimes it is through volunteer and charitable work.

Sometimes it is through raising a family and teaching children to be good citizens.

At this time of year, the Langley Christmas Bureau comes to mind. It is staffed totally by volunteers. All the money contributed comes from individuals, Many people volunteer to deliver hampers to needy families in Langley.

Many other organizations are active year-round. They contribute to children’s activities and needs; they assist seniors; they raise money and supplies for people in other parts of the world. Doing so gives them a sense of value and purpose and adds immeasurably to the community.

There are a few people who detract from the many good things the community does, and their negative energy is a distraction and disappointment to others. Nonetheless, most people don’t get too focused on them. They focus on the positive.

Langley is a growing and vibrant community. It is made up of a lot of hard-working, active and industrious people. Most of them want to make this community better for others, and for the future.

A Merry Christmas to all of them, and a big thank you for all that you do.

of the week

Do you make a conscious effort to avoid drinking and driving at this time of year?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Trudeau inconsistent they

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau seems to be in favour of Kinder Morgan’s plan to twin its pipeline. He is in favour of the Keystone XL project currently being pooh-poohed by U.S. President Barack Obama. Trudeau is not in favour of the Northern Gateway pipeline project.

It’s difficult to follow the reasoning behind these stances from the man who wants to be prime minister. The threepoint checklist for his approval, according to the Liberal Party of Canada website: Does it get Canadian resources to market? Is it environmentally responsible? Does it have community approval?

All three pipelines pass on the first point, obviously.

The Kinder Morgan pipeline starts in Alberta and ends in Burnaby. You may remember the recent arrests related to Kinder Morgan’s exploratory work on Burnaby Mountain. Protesters from the community and elsewhere were dragged away from the mountain, claiming the pipeline has no support locally and is an environmental disaster waiting to happen, either through a potential rupture or through its contribution to the bigger picture of climate change.

What’s more, the City of Burnaby has officially announced its opposition to the pipeline.

Even if he could put a check mark beside “environmentally responsible” in regard to Kinder Morgan, how does Trudeau possibly check the box beside “community approval?”

We get that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is not exactly universally loved. Leaders seldom are after some time in office, and the word change, no matter how empty, can be a powerful motivator for the electorate. It should also be said it would not take much time to find inconsistencies in the policies of the Conservatives, either.

We do hope voters take some time to look a little deeper than the surface next year when it comes to choosing our next prime minister.

Gateway wants to be part of solution Editor: In response to Bruce Kilby’s letter to the editor (The Times, Dec. 16), we certainly appreciate that the issues surrounding homelessness in our community, particularly where chronic addiction and significant mental health issues are concerned, are not at all easily resolved.

As the chairperson of the Gateway of Hope’s volunteer community advisory council (Community Council), I know I speak for the others on our council as well as the leadership and team of the Gateway of Hope in saying that The Salvation Army Gateway of Hope remains committed to being a part of the solution in addressing homelessness within our community.

We appreciate the acknowledgement in the letter that good is being done through the Gateway of Hope’s many programs and services. We have seen it first and and we believe our record over the past five years demonstrates that a difference has been and continues to be made in the lives of many, many people who have been caught in the vicious cycles of homelessness, addiction and poverty.

Without question we share Kilby’s concern for neighbourhood safety. Our neighbours are as important to us as those whom we serve. Thus we have always taken our responsibility of being a good neighbour seriously.

We expect those who live with us and access our services

to respect our neighbours’ privacy and their property, and we believe we have demonstrated our willingness to listen and respond to the complaints and concerns brought to us by our neighbours in a sensitive and timely manner.

We know with certainty that the vast majority of those who come to our doors for help are genuinely thankful for the helping hand they receive and sincerely respectful of our community. We also know, sadly, that the same types of issues Kilby refers to are occurring in neighbourhoods all throughout the City and Township. Thank goodness that we have the Gateway of Hope ready to assist those who have lost their way.

We thank the residents and leaders of the City and Township for the wonderful support you continue to provide us as we labour in our mission to help others out of dark places of hopelessness and despair. We certainly cannot do it without your support.

Please give us a call or drop by for a tour of our place of hope.

Our door is always open for further dialogue and partnerships to address the devastating effects of homelessness within our community.

Christmas is the word Euthanasia bill opposed Editor: Re: Zak Graham’s letter to the editor (The Times, Dec. 16).

Merry Christmas, Zak. And thanks so much for the lesson in Greek/English bilingualism.

However, if the Greeks choose to use X to signify chi, good on them. But tell me, what is wrong with us here in Canada using the full word of Christmas? The inclusion of

Christ instead of X makes it very clear as to what the whole subject is all about to us who are not proficient in the Greek language.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Innocence of Christmas angel Editor: This is a poem for the season.

Christmas Angel Behold this final month, December’s beauty is all around us Captivated by the endless lights; shining bright A little girl is sleeping and wishing for all she has seen Colorful decorations dance through her head The house was perfect it smelt like gingerbread Mother and father love her so, soon enough She will be touching fresh snow Once she awakens, outside she will go A bright red scarf keeps her toasty warm Making a snow angel; she feels a snowflake fall lightly on her nose Embrace this season open your hearts, a Childs innocence bears no scars.

BETSY EADIE LANGLEY

Editor: This is my response to the recently-proposed Senate bill S-225 on euthanasia. I hope that the newspaper is brave enough to publish it.

I am a Grade 12 student. I recently read about the bill S-225 that was proposed in the Senate, and it worried me greatly. I believe in the value of life, and the idea of assisted suicide being legalized in Canada terrified me for a few reasons. My hope is that you take a few minutes to read the points I am going to clarify and think carefully about them.

First of all, I think that the new bill really is an absolutely ridiculous proposal, because it has already been proposed once, and it was brought down with blistering opposition. It is ludicrous to propose an almost identical bill with no new information or scientific evidence to support it.

Secondly, it legalizes euthanasia without any safeguard for the patient at all. With no requirement for the physician to report a murder (pardon my language, but that’s what I truly believe it is), vulnerable persons (elderly, mentally challenged, etc.) are extremely vulnerable to a harmful or unwilling procedure. We would like to

imagine that we live in a society where only those who absolutely wanted this procedure to take place would be subjected to it, but unfortunately there is always corruption present, and innocent people would be harmed every day. This bill also legalizes assisted suicide for those experiencing “physiological suffering,” a term which is not even defined. This means that anyone experiencing an emotional issue couldo choose to opt out of life simply to end their short-term suffering.

My final point is that this would label anyone who fits into the category of those expected to qualify for euthanasia as a burden. The elderly, disabled, and dependent will now appear to be a burden on families and supporters because they choose to live, even if it means possibly a little extra work for those around us. It’s a little concept called helping others. I’m sure you’ve heard it. This is, of course, only brushing the surface of a raging debate in Canada today, but I believe these points can easily establish a counter argument to those who believe life to be a burden and pointless.

Langley graduation rates at all-time high DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT DISSATISFIED WITH ANYTHING LESS THAN 100 PER CENT MONIQUE TAMMING A Tim es Reporter

Students in Langley are graduating at the highest rate ever seen.

Last year, 87 per cent of Grade 12 students graduated, up from 78 per cent in 2008.

The school district’s realistic target is 93 per cent, but the ideal is 100 per cent, said Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman at the final board of education meeting of the year. “While it seems like a good news story, I’m dissatisfied with the results. “It’s not good enough. We want 100 per cent,� said Hoffman.

Males are still lagging behind females, with 85 per cent graduating.

That is the highest rate ever seen for boys though, which shows gains have been made.

Aboriginal students are also see-

Help for undernourished children comes from Langley Two shipping containers full of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) are arriving in African countries over the next few weeks, thanks to a Langley charity.

The food will assist 1,800 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, and arrangements have been made by Langley’s Food For Famine Society. Through the generosity of Billy Vandekerkhove of Super Save Group, $100,000 was donated to sponsor the two shipping containers.

The first container is set to arrive the Democratic Republic of the Congo today (Dec. 23), with the second one scheduled to arrive in South Sudan in mid-January 2015.

The Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food will be distribut-

ed by Food For Famine’s partner World Vision Canada, through its community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition Programs (CMAM).

World Vision in the DRC will implement an integrated nutrition, health, water and sanitation program in Mitwaba territory in the “Triangle de la Mort.” This project will provide direct nutrition treatment to beneficiaries, comprising of mothers and children under five years old. World Vision seeks to provide for the stabilization and treatment of 739 severely acutely malnourished children under five years of age with medical complications, through in-patient treatment in three health centres.

Best Wishes this Holiday Season!

A further 7,387 severely acutely malnourished (SAM) people without medical complications will be treated within the Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) with RUTF. Maria Martini of Food For Famine Society reports that a third container is close to being filled, thanks to donors from the World Food Day corporate breakfast in October at Langley Events Centre. It will be shipped to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the New Year.

Anyone who would like to assist can donate online at http://www.foodforfamine.org or by texting FFF to 45678, to immediately donate $5.

The need for Christmas hampers is way up and the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope is asking for some help.

Staff at the Gateway of Hope have noticed a considerable increase over last year’s Christmas Hamper registrations.

“There has been a 14 per cent increase in registrations for singles and couples with no kids and seniors living in Langley and Aldergrove,” said Andrea Voss, Family Services co-ordinator.

“Cutoff for registrations was Dec. 12, and we are still getting phone calls and dropins for more. A large increase in registrations for hampers means more funds are needed than what is available in our budget,”said Troy Gaglardi, director of community resources.

Last year, Gateway of Hope helped 480 registrants with a Christmas ham, grocery gift card and other goodies.

Those who came in after the cutoff received resources as they were available.

Donations can be made at the Gateway of Hope.

Being Jacob Marley A LANGLEY ACCOUNTANT WH O C HAN NE LS A C LASSIC D ICKENS CHARACTER EVERY YEAR AT CHRISTMAS HA S RAISE D MORE TH AN $1 65 ,000 FOR CHARITY SO FAR NICK GREENIZAN Black Press

D A N F E RGUSON La ng ley Times

For the past 18 Christmases, Langley accountant Wayne Kuyer has donned his best Dickensian costume and, as Jacob Marley, has collected donations for the Langley Christmas Bureau and Empty Stocking Fund.

A quick scan of Wayne Kuyer’s Langley office reveals things one would expect to see in an accountant’s place of business — a waiting area for clients, a large printer against the back wall, a bowl of candy resting on the front counter.

But look closer, and hints of Kuyer’s secret identity begin to come to light.

Sitting on a stand in the hallway is an old-fashioned adding machine, while behind the desk sits a large, hard-covered ledger, the kind Ebenezer Scrooge may have used to keep track of his every penny in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

Soon, Kuyer enters the room, decked out in full costume — vintage suit, complete with gold timepiece, wire-rimmed spectacles, fingerless gloves, ascot and top hat, looking every bit like Jacob Marley, as though he has walked right out of 19th century Dickensian London.

Next month, Kuyer — as he has every year since 1996 — will don the getup as he makes his rounds through the Langley business community, collecting donations for the Langley Christmas Bureau and the Empty Stocking Fund.

The tradition began as a two-man operation, and Kuyer — dressed as Marley — and his late business partner Stephen de Verteuil — dressed as Scrooge — would canvas various neighbourhood haunts.

In 2002, de Verteuil died after a battle with cancer, and Kuyer decided to continue the charitable effort on his own.

To date, Kuyer’s efforts have raised more

than $165,200.

“When Stephen passed away, I knew, number one, that I wanted to keep going with it,” Kuyer said. “It is extra work, doing it on my own now, but when you look at the extra time it takes… all you do is just look at the money we’ve raised, and it’s pretty hard to say, ‘Oh, well I’m too busy to do it this year.’ It’s helping out a lot of people. It’s nice if you’re able to appreciate where you are in your own life, and help out others when you can.”

It’s that philosophy that led the pair to begin the drive in the first place.

Kuyer said they had been brainstorming ways to help some local charities at Christmastime, and both agreed on a grassroots campaign.

The costumes, however, were Kuyer’s idea.

“A Christmas Carol has always been a real favourite of mine, so I think it was probably me who came up with it,” he said.

The first year, the pair rented their costumes and made their rounds, collecting $2,400. The next December, they raised $2,800.

“It’s just kept continually growing,” Kuyer said, adding that last year —thanks in part to a single sizable donation from one business owner — donations topped the $22,000 mark.

The costumes — Kuyer now owns his, rather than relying on a rental — have always been an excellent ice-breaker with those who give.

“One of the nice things about putting

on a costume is that it creates a dialogue.

A lot of businesses have signs outside that say ‘No Soliciting’ but it’s a little different if you show up like this,” he said.

“Once you put on the costume, people are happy to see you.”

Occasionally, Kuyer says he’ll go a bit further into character — “I have a little bit of a spiel I do… it’s just sort of a play on the theme,” he says — but even he has his limits.

“Sometimes, people expect that I’m going to break out into a song. But I don’t sing — I have to make that clear to people,” he laughed.

The operation is far more streamlined than the early days, too.

Now, in advance of his collection period, Kuyer sends out a letter — creatively written by his office manager Angela Miles — along with a pledge form. Then, he awaits a response and begins making his rounds.

Kuyer is quick to credit the community around him for the campaign’s continued success.

“With respect to what we’re achieving, sure, it’s partly on my efforts, but it’s really the business community that has supported it,” he said.

“We are just a conduit for people who probably already want to give, but maybe they just don’t know to where.

“They just need a little push, or the convenience —that’s really what this helps with. Without all this support, this wouldn’t be as successful, or as much fun.”

Popular family restaurant still Choo Choo’s has been serving up fun and fresh home cooking in the heart of downtown Langley since 1992.

Some might even say the popular dining establishment has become a local landmark over the years – one that attracts tourists and regular patrons from all over the Fraser Valley and beyond.

From the iconic train that circles inside the perimeter of the dining room, thrilling both the young and young at heart, and the made-from-scratch cuisine to the cozy atmosphere, prime location and friendly service, it’s no wonder this oneof-a-kind restaurant continues to steam full-speed into the future.

And as a family restaurant, it’s only fitting that Choo Choo’s is run by a husband and wife team.

Terry and Helene Couston took over the business from Terry’s brother around 23 years ago. Today, their two adult daughters, Megan and Erin, also work alongside them on a part-time basis while pursuing their studies.

Even after all these years, the couple still get a kick out of watching how excited young children get to see the train pass them by while eating.

“It’s always fun to watch – they get very taken with it,” said Terry, who as a young child had a train setup that both he and his brother were enthralled with while growing up in England.

“I think the whole notion of the trains here at the restaurant came from our childhood and the train we both had. It was spanned the whole length of the attic – so many great memories!”

stationed in downtown Langley reach, the Couston’s invite patrons of all ages to choose from a bevy of toy trains to play with at their table.

“Even the grownups love to play with the trains,” laughed Terry.

There’s also a children’s room in the back of the restaurant with a train table for wee ones to play with – a popular space for birthday parties and celebrations.

There’s no doubt about it that the traintheme may draw patrons in, but it’s the food that keeps them coming back.

“We pride ourselves on our menu,” said Terry.

“We still make all our own food – soups, sauces, desserts, breads, etc. After 50 years, our fresh burgers and schnitzels are still a hit, and we make them in the building.”

Terry also notes that the top-notch cus-

tomer service is also at the heart of this booming little family hot spot.

“A lot of the same people have been coming here for over 40 years. We also have some long-term staff - our kitchen manager has been with us for over 20 years – it’s a real enjoyable place to work and dine.”

As far as location is concerned, Choo Choo’s is stationed in a prime spot .

“I just love downtown Langley – especially the one-way,” said Terry “There’s a real sense of community here that’s lacking in a lot of other places in the Lower Mainland.”

Terry and Helene invite regulars and newcomers to climb aboard Choo Choo’s unique dining experience this holiday season.

“We hope to see you soon or in the New Year. Happy Holidays!”

Captain Curtis: Hodgson selected to wear Stealth ‘C’ who will serve as an assistant for the third straight year.

He has been with the organization since they drafted him third overall in 2008. He is the franchise’s all-time assists leader and was part of the 2010 championship team.

“It’s a good feeling but it comes with responsibility but it’s a responsibility I’m ready for.”

“Being a part of the leadership group is exciting,” said Smith. “It’s something you look forward to when you’re a young player, to be someone that’s looked upon as a leader.”

Smith, who enters his fifth NLL season, will be an assistant captain for the first time.

“I don’t think there’s necessarily any added pressure,” he said.

“Regardless if you’re a rookie or a veteran, there’s always going to be high expectations after last season. It’s more exciting than it is nerve-wracking.”

Vancouver Stealth’s Curtis Hodgson celebrates a goal during the 2014 National Lacrosse League season. Hodgson is one of 11 returning players and will serve as the team’s new captain when they kick off the 2015 season on Jan. 3 with their home opener at the Langley Events Centre on Jan. 10.

So much more than a homeless shelter

When it came time to name a new captain for the upcoming season, it was an easy choice to give Curtis Hodgson the ‘C’.

“He just stepped up from the opening day of the camp,” said Vancouver Stealth coach Dan Perreault.

“It has just been natural for him and it was an easy decision for our staff.

“He is a veteran guy (and) has always been one of our leaders.”

The National Lacrosse League squad was in need of a new captain for the 2015 season after Kyle Sorenson underwent off-season knee surgery and is gone for the year.

“I feel really grateful to lead this team,” said Hodgson, who enters his 10th season in the league.

“We’ve got a terrific group of guys that have come together.

“As a cagey veteran on the

squad, I’m privileged to lead these guys. I’m really excited about the opportunity.”

Hodgson holds the Stealth franchise record with 161 regular season games played and is tied for the lead in playoff games, having suited up in 11.

He won a title with the Stealth in 2010.

He is friends with Sorenson and said they have talked about roles and responsibilities.

“I’ve been an older guy for the last few years and I’ve taken on that mentorship role that worked for me when I was a younger player, in terms of how to learn the game and what it takes to win and that’s something I’ll try and bring this season,” Hodgson said.

Joining him as assistant captains will be Rhys Duch and Cliff Smith.

“It’s an honour not only to be recognized as a leader but to be displayed as one,” said Duch,

Nine new faces on Stealth roster for 2015 NLL season PRO LACROSS E TEA M ALSO FEATURE S A NE W COACH AND CA PTA IN

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

The squad is set as the Vancouver Stealth look for a bounce back season after a disappointing first year in Langley.

The Stealth announced their final roster for the 2015 National Lacrosse League season on Wednesday, with nearly half of a new line-up.

The team returns 11 of 20 players from last year’s squad, which went 4-14 and missed the post-season.

In 2013, the Stealth made it to the Champions Cup final, losing to the Rochester Knighthawks.

“We have a solid core of returning veterans who are very hungry this year,” said Stealth president and general manager Doug Locker.

“Coupled with the players we acquired

in the off-season, we feel the mix is there to contend deep into the post-season.”

The Stealth return their top four scorers from last year — Rhys Duch (36 goals, 80 points), Tyler Digby (22 goals, 58 points), Lewis Ratcliff (23 goals, 55 points) and Cliff Smith

(19 goals, 45 points).

They are joined by off-season acquisitions Johnny Powless and Joel McCready, who came over from the Rochester Knighthawks in a blockbuster trade at the NLL draft.

The Stealth’s top four forwards from last season combined for 100 goals and 238 points in 70 games, 3.4 points per game among the quartet. By comparison, Powless (30 goals, 53 points) and Mc-

Cready (14 goals, 29 points) had 44 goals and 82 points in 28 games, averaging just a half point less combined per game.

The other new forward is Caleb Wiles.

At the transition position, Tyler Garrison, Ilija Gajic and Justin Salt return for another season, and they are joined by Tyler Hass, Mitch McMichael and Brandon Clelland.

Fraser Downs Boxing Day and New Year’s Day racing event It’s the day after Christmas and all through the house, wrapping paper scatters the floor, the fridge is stocked with leftovers and families often wonder what comes next?

If you are looking for something exciting and different to keep the fun of the holidays going right to the finish line, Fraser Downs in Cloverdale has live harness racing events on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Head down to the track and enjoy an afternoon of fun filled with food and friends. This year, finish off 2014 with a chance at a big win, because who says the gifts have to end after Christmas?

At the Fraser Downs racing event, guests have a chance to win a big screen TV. Entry ballots will be in

the racing programs on Boxing Day, Sunday Dec. 28, and New Year’s Day. Guests can enter each time they visit Fraser Downs during those racing dates and the draw will be held during the second half of the race card on New Year’s Day. This year, choose Fraser Downs as the perfect place to round out the season by watching some exhilarating races and continuing to share in the spirit of giving back.

Fraser Downs has always been a big supporter of the Cloverdale and Surrey communities, and this year, one of the racehorse owners will be donating all the winnings that his horse “Buddy’s Hope” earns in December to the Surrey Food Bank. Fraser Downs and Harness Racing BC have even teamed up to

match those earnings; it’s racing for a good cause!

The first race begins each day at 12:45 p.m., and on Boxing Day, Learn to Wager Ambassadors will be on hand to help guests understand how to read the program and the tote board, what the odds mean and how to place different types of wagers. Families are always welcome but guests must be 19 years of age or older to place a wager.

As always, there is a heated, enclosed grandstand, with an ever-popular buffet that overlooks the racetrack.

With Boxing Day and New Year’s Day just ahead, it’s the homestretch of the holidays and there is no better place to be than at the races.

Visit www.fraserdowns.com to learn more.

Season starts on the road; home debut at LEC Jan. 10

From Page 23

Garrison took the majority of the face-offs in 2013, winning 44.9 per cent of his draws (176 won versus 216 lost). He also led the team with 106 loose balls and forced a team-high 36 forced turnovers.

McMichael missed all of last season, Hass was acquired via trade and Clelland was the team’s third round pick (21st overall) in 2014.

The defence — which will be without captain Kyle Sorenson for the entire year after off-season knee surgery — returns Curtis Hodgson, Bradley Kri and Chris O’Dougherty. The team also picked up Tyler Burton and Rory Smith.

Hodgson will serve as captain (see page 22).

Tyler Richards and Eric Penney make up the goaltending tandem.

Richard was 4-8 in 2013 with a 12.01 goals against average and a .760 save percentage.

The practice squad consists of Kyle Belton — a local Langley homegrown product — Conrad Chapman and Matt Delmonico.

Belton and Chapman play transition while Delmonico is a forward.

Chapman was picked 12th overall in the last draft and Delmonico was 30th overall. Belton was acquired from New England.

The team also has a new head coach as Dan Perreault was promoted to head coach after Chris Hall stepped down.

“The hard work and intensity we have seen throughout camp will make for a very exciting onfloor product,” Locker said.

“We are counting the days to get going.”

The team opens the NLL season on Jan. 3 in Calgary against the Roughnecks.

They play their home opener at the Langley Events Centre on Jan. 10 when the Toronto Rock come to town. langley’s finest fresh seafood market wild • sustainable • chemical free
