Guilty plea in death of Kwantlen elder

VOW RENEWAL CEREMONY AT LANGLEY GARDENS CELEBRATES COMBINED 314 YEARS OF MARRIAGE GARY AH U J A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Peter Langeman gave his bride-to-be a chance to back out of their impending wedding nuptials. It was two weeks before they were set to be married, and Peter was involved in an accident while riding his motorcycle. One of his legs was amputated below the knee and he was missing his front teeth. He spent his last few days of bachelorhood recuperating in hospital. “I wanted to give (Ramona) a chance to back out,” he recalled on Friday afternoon. But he is glad she didn’t call it off. Peter and Ramona will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary this July. But on Friday, they were among the six couples who renewed their wedding vows in front of family, friends and fellow residents at the Chartwell Langley Gardens retirement community. The ceremony — done for all six simultaneously — was conducted by another resident, Rev. Greta Sheppard. The six couples have a combined 314 years of marriage among them, with John and Felicita Rampone in their 67th year of marriage while Denis and Mary Hughes are ‘the newlyweds’ at five years. For the Langemans, sharing the day was nothing new, as they were also part of a joint ceremony on their original wedding day, July 30, 1955, as Peter’s brother was also marrying Ramona’s sister. “I was in shock,” Ramona recalled of her fiance’s accident.

Peter and Ramona Langeman cut the cake at a vow renewal ceremony at Langley Gardens, which included five other couples. The Langemans will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversay in July. One of the secrets to the long and happy marriage, said Ramona, is that Peter is easy to get along with and lets her have her way, most of the time. More photos at langleytimes.com.

On March 7, 2011, Kwantlen First Nation elder George Antone was found shot to death in his McMillan Island home. Now his accused killer, Michele Marie Serdar, 43, has pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter. She was in Surrey Provincial Court on Thursday, Feb. 12. She is scheduled for a sentencing hearing on April 2. In November, 2013, the Integrated Homicide GEOR GE investigaANTONE tion Team announced Serdar had been charged with second-degree murder. She was arrested in Quebec City after an extensive investigation. She was transported to B.C. shortly afterwards to face the charges. In February 2014, she was released on $50,000 bail. Antone’s body was discovered in his home on March 7, 2011. He was 71. An extensive police investigation took place after Antone’s death, and there was a lot of concern among the Kwantlen First Nation people about the fact that a suspect had not been apprehended. “We await the judicial process to begin, as we continue to remember and mourn the loss of our dear elder,” said Kwantlen councillor Tumia Knott in a press conference after Serdar’s arrest in 2013.

France’s highest honour goes to Langley veteran JOHN SWITYK NAMED KNIGHT OF FRENCH LEGION OF HONOUR DAN FE R G US ON Tim es Re po rte r

DAN FER GUS ON L an gley Tim es

Langley resident John Swityk of the Regina Rifles listens, as French consul-general Jean-Christophe Fleury thanks him for freeing his country. Swityk was presented with the French Legion of Honour award, that country’s highest award, as part of a decision by the French government to honour all living Canadian soldiers who fought during D-Day to help liberate France and defeat Nazi Germany. The presentation was held at the Langley City Legion branch on Sunday, Feb. 15.

Langley veteran John Swityk was appointed a Knight of the National Order of the Legion of Honour on Sunday, the highest honour France can bestow. The award was presented to the 93-year-old Swityk by French consul-general Jean-Christophe Fleury at the Langley City Legion branch on Sunday afternoon before more than 60 people, including his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Deportation likely after conviction D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

A Langley man who accidentally shot his twin brother and a friend will likely be deported to Sweden once he finishes serving a four-year jail sentence for a drunken error in judgment. Ravinder Virk was severely intoxicated the night of Dec. 6, 2012 when he wounded his brother Parvinder and a friend, Dinh Ngo, in the kitchen of his Langley blueberry farm. According to a description of the incident by the sentencing judge in Surrey Provincial Court, Ravinder Virk had been drinking most of the day. When his twin told him to leave the kitchen because he was drunk, Ravinder left, then returned a few minutes later carrying a handgun and laughing.

When the brother tried to take the gun away, it went off twice during the struggle, injuring Parvinder’s right wrist and a finger on his left hand, and wounding Ngo in the left thigh. The injured men at first tried to make up a story to conceal Ravinder Virk’s involvement, but that didn’t hold up under police questioning. During the 11-day trial, the Crown prosecutor called the shootings a “drunken moment of non-judgment.” Virk’s lawyer agreed. Surrey Provincial Court Judge Michael Hicks convicted Virk on five criminal counts, including assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and several weapons offences. At the sentencing hearing, Judge Hicks said there was “no discernible explanation

or motive” for the shootings, nor was there evidence of any animosity between the brothers or between Ravinder Virk and Ngo. Virk had no prior criminal record. Ngo required a lengthy hospital stay and now has to use a cane, and while Parvinder didn’t appear to suffer any long-term ill effects “it could have been much worse,” the judge said. He sentenced Ravinder Virk to four years in jail. Virk is a legal permanent resident of Canada but not a Canadian citizen. The 48-year-old Virk is originally from India, but moved to Sweden where he became a citizen in his early twenties. Because of that, the judge noted, Virk will face deportation to Sweden. “As a permanent resident with convictions such as

these, he is unable to apply for Canadian citizenship and inadmissible to Canada,” Hicks said. The judge said when Virk came to Canada, he brought with him his two children from a marriage to a Swedish national, his parents, his brother and his brother’s family. “It is part and parcel of difficult personal circumstances which flow from this conviction and which will likely see him separated from his family and forced to make a new life for himself in another country,” Hicks said. His only chance to stay in Canada is to apply to remain on compassionate or humanitarian grounds, the judge said. A written transcript of the Oct. 30 oral judgment was recently posted on the Provincial Court of BC website.

“Thank you for making my country a free country,” Fleury said, praising Swityk for his “extraordinary bravery.” About 600 Canadian veterans are being recognized for their participation in the D-Day invasion that led to the liberation of France and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Swityk was a member of the Regina Rifles, who landed on Juno Beach as part of the Canadian armed forces. Juno Beach was one of five landing areas where Allied troops landed on June 6, 1944.

No-show for trial MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

A former Langley veterinarian charged with sex crimes was a no-show for his trial scheduled to start earlier this month. A Provincial Court Judge in Surrey ordered a bench warrant for Wayne Etherington’s arrest after he failed to show up for his own trial which was slated to start Feb. 2. Etherington, who worked at Clayton Animal Hospital, is facing two counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent exposure. The charges date back to 2013. Prior to these criminal charges against him, the College of Veterinarians of B.C. had obtained a court order to stop the Langley vet from practising, after he allegedly defied their initial order that he could continue to practice under the supervision of a chaperone. The CVBC suspended Etherington’s licence to practice on Feb. 16, 2013 for the safety of the public “due to the number and seriousness of formal complaints received by this office alleging sexual misconduct involving women.” A media report at the time said Etherington denied the accusations.

Metro Vancouver trying to determine source of smell MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Blame it on the weather, blame it on other industrial or agricultural businesses but whatever stinks in north Langley — it isn’t likely the Northwest Langley Wastewater

Treatment Plant, says Metro Vancouver. While it recognizes the treatment plant, located under the south side of the Golden Ears Bridge, does produce odours which “can be detected while on the bridge and in the immediate vicinity” — those smell-

ing something unpleasant two kilometres away might be smelling something else, suggests Simon So, GM of Metro Vancouver’s liquid waste service. “Following recent complaints from concerned residents in Walnut Grove, investi-

facility, which is more than two kilometres away from the affected area,” writes So in a response to a Times letter writer who works near the plant and said the smell is giving all the staff headaches. “The northwest portion of Langley Township contains many industrial and agricultural operations that emit strong odours, making it difficult to pinpoint a specific source,” So continues. “We are, however, continuing investigations to track down the primary source of the recent odours. The situation is exacerbated by the current atmospheric inversion that is preventing air from circulating

out of the area. “My colleagues and I sympathize with the people living and working in Walnut Grove who are being affected by nuisance odours, and are working closely with the Township of Langley staff to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.” In December 2014, Township Councillor Michelle Sparrow asked Metro Vancouver to investigate after she expressed her concerns about the “toxic-smelling” odour that has caused her and her fellow Walnut Grove neighbours to close their windows and not go outdoors.

Gamble showed there have been several complaints about unpleasant smells in the Walnut Grove area of the Township dating back to August. In nine cases, people have called 911, worried the smell was a potentially explosive gas leak. The Township engineering department has ordered increased cleaning and flushing of the sewage treatment system, including adding a “masking agent” and installing filters. And So said they recently made improvements at the plant to minimize odours. After Sparrow asked for Metro Vancouver

to investigate in December, The Times online story had responses from numerous Walnut Grove residents saying it is so bad at times that guests have been unable to visit. Metro Vancouver takes odour complaints very seriously and respond quickly to issues related to the operations of its facilities, So stresses. Walnut Grove residents who get a whiff of something unpleasant are being advised by Township staff to report it to Metro Vancouver’s 24-hour air quality complaint line at 604-436-6777. — with files from Dan Ferguson

Also renewing their vows on Friday were Gabe and Jo Paradis (64 years), Gaston and Huguette DuPaul (58 years) and Alan and Audrey Smith, who will celebrate their 60th anniversary next month. â€œAlways being happy,â€? Audrey said about the key to a long and successful marriage. â€œAnd saying sorry even when

The couple have lived at the retirement home for about a year and a half, and thought renewing their vows would be something nice to do. â€œWe have met all kind of wonderful people (here) and we thought this would be something fun to do.â€?

Following the ceremony, Tammy Morison, the general manager at Chartwell Langley Gardens, delivered a toast. â€œValentineâ€™s Day is a celebration of love across the world and what better way to demonstrate this celebration than through the renewal of marriage vows,â€? she said. Following the ceremony, the husbands were tasked with removing their wivesâ€™ garter belts and then each couple took a turn posing with the wedding cake.

$50K racked up on stolen card

Saturday is Coldest Night of the Year MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Langley residents are gearing up to walk a mile in a homeless person’s shoes for the annual Coldest Night of the Year walk to benefit the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope on Saturday, Feb. 21. Already more than $4,500 has been raised by 21 teams who have pledged to walk and raise money for the shelter that helps hundreds each year. The goal is to raise $30,000 in Langley. Each community with a shelter is participating in the Coldest Night of the Year event. Opening ceremonies are at 5 p.m. at the Gateway of Hope, with the 2.6 km walk to follow. Between 6 and 8 p.m., a warm, light meal will be served to all walkers and volunteers. “Your involvement in this walk impacts hundreds of lives in a positive way, helping build a bright future that once seemed out of reach,” says the Gateway of Hope on the pledge page of the Coldest Night of the Year website. Gateway of Hope has partnered with Kintec Langley to have people donate slightly used or new shoes so they can give “to those that come to us with badly worn or no shoes at all. This is a big need for us,” said Troy Gaglardi of the Gateway of Hope. People can bring shoes to the walk or donate any time to the shelter and be entered to win a Kintec gift certificate. Last year, Gateway served 76,000 meals, while the emergency shelter assisted 700 men and women with warm beds and referrals to addiction treatment, medical services and critical supports. It also offers transitional housing and vocational training. To learn more, go to coldestnightoftheyear.org

The card was delivered by UPS and the $50,000 in charges were made on the card between Jan. 17 and 21. If you can identify this suspect, or know anything about this investigation, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or if you wish to remain anonymous call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. ••• Langley RCMP say a group of teens may be responsible for setting off several fire alarms at the Township Civic Centre in Willoughby since the beginning of the new year. Police allege the group was present when the fire alarm was triggered at the Township hall in Willoughby on Feb. 9. Police believe the young people pull the fire alarm and run on foot. This sets off a chain reaction, where the property owner is required to attend as well as the fire department, said police. This is third such incident since Jan. 1. ••• Two men managed to steal $1,000 worth of clothing within two minutes from a Langley retail store on Jan. 26. Langley RCMP are releasing pictures of the alleged suspects, accused of entering the rear door of the MD Charlton store, gathering clothing and leaving with the stolen items. No further information was provided. If you have any information that could help identify these suspects, call Langley RCMP at 604532-3200.

Question langeytimes.com

It didn’t take too long for a wide variety of B.C. organizations and individuals to start to look a gift horse in the mouth — in this case, the B.C. Family Day holiday. Until 2013, there was no statutory holiday in February in B.C. While the U.S. has had its Presidents Day holiday for many years, and a number of Canadian provinces (starting with Alberta) had a mid-winter stat holiday, B.C. workers laboured without a paid day off from New Year’s Day until Good Friday. In some cases, this was close to four months. Interestingly enough, there was a little bit of complaining about missing out, but not a great deal. Perhaps B.C., companies and workers appreciated the fact that they still had jobs and businesses. While some people had called for the paid day off beforehand, Christy Clark most definitely kick-started the idea while running for the BC Liberal leadership to replace Gordon Campbell. After winning the leadership and the premier’s chair, Clark called for wide consultations on what day would be best for the holiday. Many people and organizations responded. The consensus was that a Family Day differing from the general stat holiday in the U.S. and other provinces would actually be good for most families. They would be able to get deals at ski resorts, go to popular tourist attractions and enjoy activities close to home — not bothered by hordes of people from out of province. In Langley last Monday, there were many free events, such as swimming and ice skating, which proved to be very popular. People got out for walks and runs. While there was no point in going to a ski resort nearby, some people travelled to Whistler or interior mountain where there is still a decent amount of snow. Why so much complaining about a holiday that has only been in place for three years? It’s particularly rich that the complaining is led by the Surrey Board of Trade, as most business groups were opposed to another stat holiday — as it costs them more money for no more work. For all the years that there was no Family Day, there was very little complaining that the stat holiday did not synchronize with days off in other jurisdictions. There was no stat holiday to complain about. There are many holidays which do not synchronize throughout the year. Many Americans travel to B.C. and many B.C. residents travel to the United States. Where is the complaining over Memorial Day in the U.S. coming a week after our Victoria Day holiday in May, or Canadians working on July 4 ? Instead of complaining about what is a relatively minor challenge, we should be grateful for an extra day off.

Price on water at last they

The provincial government’s new Water Sustainability Act (WSA) puts a price tag on that most precious of resources, water. For the first time ever in British Columbia, water that comes from our aquifers will come at a cost to industrial, agricultural and municipal users. It’s about time we as a province assigned value to water, without which we could not live. The move comes after years of pressure to do something about how Nestlé, a multi-billion dollar international corporation, has been, at no cost, sucking millions of litres of water out of the ground near Hope, bottling it and selling it back to us. The WSA recognizes something needs to be done about this, so it assigns the rate of $2.25 per 1,000 cubic metres (one million litres) to users like Nestlé. If the company uses 265 million litres of water in 2016, Nestlé will pay $596.25. Not exactly a blow to the company’s bottom line, and critics say the government did not go far enough. All other users will be paying even less. We do have to agree, however, that it’s at least a positive and long overdue step to acknowledge that groundwater needs to be managed and at least some fees, however meagre, need to be attached to its use. We need to pay closer attention to water use in B.C. — Chilliwack Times

A second disruption is not acceptable Editor: On Tuesday evening (Feb. 17), I attended School District 35’s community consultation evening regarding the possible closure of Langley Secondary School. I am frustrated that we find ourselves in this position as a community again. In the fall of 2007, the Board of Education voted to “reconfigure” H.D. Stafford Secondary to a middle school. This meant moving the Stafford secondary students to Langley Secondary School (LSS). It was not an easy transition for many students and staff as they struggled to redefine who they were. Fast forward to today. The community of LSS has merged the best of LSS and HDSS to become a fantastic school which offers a multitude of learning opportunities for its diverse student population, whether their focus is academics, athletics, fine arts or trades. This school community has reinvented itself under some amazing leadership and it deserves a chance. For those unable to attend the meeting, you may be interested in knowing that there were over 30 presenters. The message was loud and clear — “Right-size LSS.” This fourth proposal was brought forward by senior administration at the suggestion

of the LSS community, and is cheaper than seismic upgrading of LSS. It also addresses the facility’s upgrade needs. Having been in the trenches and fought to ”Keep Stafford Secondary,” the irony is not lost on me that I am now imploring the board to keep LSS open. My reasons for this are simple. It is the cheapest option of the four presented; it creates the least disruption for the entire school district, and; it makes sense to keep the kids there rather than move them to Brookswood Secondary, where in another few years we may be meeting again to say we need another high school due to development in the south. They can’t possibly recreate the same facility and adjoining amenities that LSS has at any other properties. There is a strong community need to have the history of LSS as the oldest secondary in the district honoured. Most importantly, the LSS community deserves to be heard after all they have done to successfully recreate themselves. Disrupting this community yet again, when a viable option is available and is financially sound, would be irresponsible and a shame. TRACIE NORTHWAY, LANGLEY CITY

A TransLink bus stops at the Carvolth bus exchange in North Langley. Transit service in Langley has expanded, although it remains a fraction of what is available in cities closer to the urban core of Metro Vancouver. A Vancouver Island resident suggests a sales tax increase to fund transit expansion may make the most sense.

Tax boost may be best bet Editor: There are many pros and cons to this vote on the additional tax to pay for transit funding. Taxpayers must note that presently they hold the ball on this tax. If the tax passes, they have to remember, everyone pays, including the tourists that come to visit the Lower Mainland. Also, the tax being incorporated into the seven per cent retail tax is remitted to the provincial government in Victoria. Lower Mainland municipalities have no access to this tax, so the money is safe and cannot be spent foolishly like on extravagant wages. If the tax does not pass, there are

many Plan B’s available. One of the Plan B’s could be a substantial increase in property taxes. One way or another, the taxpayers are going to foot the bill for transit funding, because the BC Liberal government is not going to ever increase income taxes. Looking at the vote option in comparison to many Plan B’s, the most logical and cheapest form option to the taxpayers would be to vote for the additional 0.5 per cent. JOE SAWCHUK, DUNCAN

Discussions should involve people with all sorts of beliefs

Editor: Robert T. Rock, in his letter published Feb.12 (“No right to tell others what to do”) brings up a very important point: when belief systems are wedded with power it usually results in a bad end for those opposed to that belief system. Those of us who hold a religious belief of some kind ought to own up to that reality. However, the history of the Soviet Union

and Cambodia has shown us that the same results can occur when an atheistic world view is wedded with power. I believe that we human beings can do better. Rock states that “It is time to reconsider the privileged place of any religion in modern society when it violates basic human rights.” That raises the question, what are included in basic human rights? Do people

have the right to gather together and voluntarily limit their rights? Do people have the freedom to hold personal beliefs that may be at odds with secular humanism, or should we all have to believe the same thing? In the public conversation about what kind of society we are going to be, does everyone get an opportunity to speak, or only those who hold to secular humanism?

When religion is at its best, it encourages people to be good citizens, love their families and care for the poor and marginalized, and it provides a framework for a free and just society with open discourse about important issues such as the ones Rock raises, even if we do not all agree.

Post-secondaries get a new orientation Premier Christy Clark’s push to “re-engineer” the B.C. education system is moving ahead aggressively in B.C.’s 25 post-secondary institutions. One of the first tasks for Andrew Wilkinson in his new role as advanced education minister was to outline the shift in operating grants for colleges and universities to in-demand occupations. By 2017, a quarter of the money for post-secondary institutions will be directed to areas where labour force surveys forecast a need. This was greeted with some alarm when it was announced last year. Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter at first downplayed the coming skills shortage as “relatively small” and warned against pushing post-secondary institutions into a “zero sum battle for dollars.” Petter has since come on board, as his approving comments were featured in the ministry’s Jan. 26 news release detailing the shift. He and others have been assured that in spite of Clark’s rhetoric, suggesting trades training is in and university is out, the news for SFU and other universities isn’t all that bleak. Wilkinson is completing a province-wide tour of all post-secondary institutions this week, and I reached him at his visit to Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. “The response to this has generally been pretty good, because the students are putting this pressure on institutions them-

Another voice for a ‘no’ vote JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

An association representing small businesses says it will fight a proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax in Metro Vancouver for transit improvements after a survey found a large majority of its members are against it. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business said 80 per cent of 260 Metro-based respondents indicated they would vote No in the mail-in referendum, 17 per cent would vote Yes and three per cent were unsure. CFIB B.C. vice-president Richard Truscott called it a clear mandate. “We will respect that consensus and advocate against adding a half point to the sales tax in the Metro Vancouver region,” he said. “But let me be clear, a vote against this tax is not a vote against transportation improvements.” He said CFIB members want upgrades and believe they are definitely needed but were divided on how to fund them, if not by the so-called Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax. Sixty per cent of those surveyed believed new funding

isn’t needed and improvements can be made with existing revenue, which Metro mayors and successive transportation ministers deny is possible. Nearly a third said new funding is necessary but they were split on what mechanism to use — 49 per cent of those respondents agreed with the proposed regional sales tax, 41 per cent backed road pricing, 37 per cent would raise fares and 33 per cent supported the introduction of an annual vehicle levy. Truscott said the main concerns of business owners are the extra administrative time and cost that would come from the 0.5 per cent added sales tax and potential lost sales. The CFIB is not the first business organization to come out against the proposed tax. Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce also opposes the sales tax boost. Many others are in support and are key members of the Yes campaign, including the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, the Vancouver Board of Trade and the Surrey Board of Trade. Other groups, including the Retail Council of Canada, praised the province’s decision this month that the extra 0.5

per cent tax will be harmonized with the seven per cent PST and not added as a separate line item to receipts. “That clarifies and helps a little bit, but it certainly gives the impression they’re making this up as they go along,” Truscott said, adding even a harmonized transit tax will still add red tape and paperwork. He said there’s “a lot of doubt and cynicism” as to whether more new money is really needed for TransLink. “We think there’s plenty of money in the system, what’s needed is priorization of money already being spent.” Retail Council of Canada spokesman Greg Wilson said retailers still question how the tax would be implemented. They wonder whether the tax would be charged on items sold in Metro Vancouver but delivered outside the region, or bought outside the region and delivered back into Metro — questions the province has yet to answer. Wilson said some business sectors — particularly banks, financial services and professionals — will largely escape the new 0.5 per cent tax.

Good habits for financial freedom NICOLLE HODGES Black Press Contributor At any stage of life it is important to have a savings plan; whether for a future purchase, as an emergency fund, or for retirement. Matthew Ehrenreich is an associate of McIver Capital Management at the wealth management firm Richardson GMP Limited in downtown Vancouver. One common factor he has noticed for individuals at any income level is the desire to be prepared for their future. When it comes to saving, consider life as having many different stages. The Accumulation phase: mid-to-late twenties to mid-to-late thirties, when people have the chance to start putting their first bit of money away. This phase is often overlooked as an opportune stage to begin saving, because people are busy starting a family, buying a house or car, and getting into the rhythm of a full-time job. The Mature Earning phase: age forty to fifty-five, when people have begun to mature in their careers and earn substantially more. They often have kids who are participating in various activities and who will potentially need assistance with saving for their post-secondary education. The Peak Earning years: age fifty-five to sixtyfive, which in most cases is the final decade of work for many people. At this point they have spent the majority of their lives in the workforce and are in the process of reaching their potential. If health permits, these will be the years when people make the most money and also begin to think about life after the workplace. For too many families today, it isn’t until this phase that they begin to realize what the costs of retirement will be. A recent CIBC poll found that 45 percent of people aged 50 to 59 have saved less than $100,000. Given that the average retired person in Canada now spends approximately

$51,000 a year, it’s clear to see that people are grossly underestimating the costs required to live a sustainable life upon retirement. With life expectancy increasing, in many cases, people will need to fund up to 20 years of retirement living, meaning that people need to begin putting away money sooner. “This is simply unacceptable,” says Ehrenreich, who advises putting away ten to twenty percent, at minimum, of every paycheck into savings. Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA): this is the best savings tool available for Canadians, where you can grow money without being taxed, even on withdrawals, and yet far too many do not take advantage of it. It began in 2009 and at this point, Canadians have up to $36,500 available in total contribution room. Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP): this is an effective way to save for retirement and reduce current taxes. Money grows within it tax-free, much like a TFSA, however, when you withdraw funds you do have to pay taxes, which makes this a more long-term plan for retirement. Have an emergency fund: It’s important to have enough cash in a bank account to cover three months worth of expenses. If you ever lose a job or are faced with a crisis, emergency or unforeseen expense, this will allow a buffer zone that prevents you from having to dip into your savings. Setting up an automatic electronic monthly contribution to a savings account is a simple way to start. “Every individual’s circumstances are different, which is why it’s important to actually sit down with someone and discuss future goals and expectations for retirement and all of life’s stages,” says Ehrenreich. “With good habits and dedication, financial freedom can be achieved and people can live the kind of lives they want after retirement; it all starts with a plan.”

et Brake & Muffler “We’ve been here in the community for a while and many of the customers are the children/grandchildren of those who came here for servicing back when we first opened. It’s really nice to see that kind of loyalty.” For Andy, the customer interaction and being able to help his customers save time and money is what he enjoys most about his job. “I’ve gotten to know so many great people working here – people who have become like family. And I’m kind of like their family doctor, except I treat their vehicle.” While the customer service is undeniably part of Budget Brake & Muffler Auto Centres’ winning formula, it’s the affordability and reliability that has put this auto shop on the map and in the heart of its customers. “We provide great service, but we are also very honest and reliable,” noted Andy. “At the end of the day we will tell our customer what their vehicle needs and never pressure them – We are very straight for-

ward with what needs to be done and what can be held off.” Nowadays, Andy has noticed many of the younger generation will purchase a brand new car every five years – an exuberant cost he says is unnecessary and hard on the environment. “Just because your warranty is over and it has a few miles on it, doesn’t mean your car is useless and should be discarded,” said Andy, also noting his shop offers a warranty on parts and repair. “By taking care of your car and bringing it in for regular servicing, you can extend the life of your car for years to come.” Stop putting off repairs and make your appointment today!

If you want to meet the Wizard of Oz, you must follow the yellow brick road. Not so in Langley. Mel Ko s i t s ky, Ti m e s C o n t r i b u ter

Local heritage enthusiasts are quite proud of their own special road and it is not made of yellow bricks - but of concrete panels. And if you follow Old Yale Road you are quite likely to meet Langley’s wizard of heritage, Fred Pepin, who is also affectionately known as “Mr. Heritage”. Pepin is often found in historic Murrayville, at the Five Corners roundabout, where there are a number of heritage buildings being used by private businesses. In fact, for Heritage Week in February he hosted and guided a bus tour, visiting sites not normally open to the public, such as school classrooms in a former blacksmith shop.

“I hate to see history get lost,” says Pepin in describing his ongoing passion for heritage preservation. “It is important to keep some reminders for visitors or for people who have moved away and then come back. It becomes a reminder of their past and offers a sense of community.” Pepin, as president of the Langley Heritage Society and a member of both the Township’s Heritage Advisory Committee and Museum Advisory Committee, will be closely watching the process this year of the Old Yale Road review. The geo-technical review is almost complete and stakeholder groups and the public will be invited to open houses expected to be held in late Spring.

Murrayville is still the site of one of the oldest and largest collections of early buildings at the centre of Langley. And the way to get there continues to be along In 2006, Pepin historic Old Yale Road, which used to be the main route to the interiwas given the or of the province from New Westrare honour of the minster. This year Heritage BC celebrated Heritage Week with “Main Street” as its major theme “At the Heart of the Community”.

Freedom of the Municipality at the annual Douglas Day banquet honouring Langley pioneers.

Main Streets, which may be called by other traditional names such as King Street, Water Street, or Broadway, usually embody the history and evolution of a community. Today many communities are leveraging the heritage of their downtowns as assets to stimulate tourism, attract new residents, provide affordable housing and encourage investment by creating affordable space for smaller businesses. Pepin believes not enough is being done locally to promote heritage tourism. There are some walking and cemetery tours but he feels there is more potential here, taking advantage of Langley’s history and heritage sites.

At age 77, Pepin, a former dairy farmer and water well business owner, admits he is slowing down but just a bit. He has always had an interest in heritage, passed on from his great grandparents who were homesteaders in south Langley. He has been involved with the Langley Heritage Society since it began in 1980. The society has now restored and manages 19 buildings, but has influ- Fred Pepin - Langley Heritage Society lot more.

In 2006, Pepin was given the rare honour of the Freedom of the Municipality at the annual Douglas Day banquet honouring Langley pioneers. That year Pepin and the late Muriel Arnason became only the fourth and fifth people ever to be named Freeman. He has spent countless volunteer hours devoted to preserving the community’s heritage through the restoration of historic buildings. Pepin says his most challenging project was the

restoration of the Dixon House and Barn on Glover Road, and his favourite project remains the Railway Station in Fort Langley, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. The site remains a very popular place for visitors to the Fort. “I enjoy the Sunday afternoons there talking to the visitors. You really get a whole new appreciation for the site and its importance to the community,” said Pepin.

Old Yale Road is one of the oldest transportation routes in the Fraser Valley and the result of the earliest attempts to establish a land route between the communities of the lower mainland and the interior of B.C. The route dates from the early 1870s when an attempt was made to create a wagon road from Brownsville, across the Fraser River from New Westminster through the Fraser Valley to Yale.

You can make sure you get the best possible care by being an active member of your health care team. Being involved means being prepared and asking questions. Asking questions about your diagnoses, treatments, and medicines can improve the quality, safety, and effectiveness of your health care. Taking steps before your medical appointments will help you to make the most of your time with your doctor and health care team. Prepare your questions Time is limited during doctor visits. Prepare for your appointment by thinking about what you want to do during your next visit. Prioritize your questions • Talk about a health problem? • Get or change a medicine? • Get medical tests? • Talk about surgery or treatment options? Write down your questions to bring to your appointment. The answers can help you make better decisions, get good care, and feel better about your health care.

Other helpful tips Let the MOA know when you call why you are coming in so that they can schedule the right amount of time for your appointment. Ask someone to go to your appointment with you to help you understand and remember answers to your questions. Create a health history that includes your current conditions and past surgeries or illnesses. Bring it to your appointment Know your family’s health history, such as your parents’ health conditions. Patients who ask questions and take an active role are happier with their care and see more improvement in their health than patients who do not. Your questions help your doctor and health care team learn more about you. Your doctor’s answers to your questions can help you make better decisions, receive a higher level of care, avoid medical harm, and feel better about your health care. Your questions can also lead to better results for your health.

During Your Appointment 1. During your appointment, make sure to ask the questions you prepared before your appointment. Start by asking the ones that are most important to you. • What is my diagnosis? • What are my treatment options? What are the benefits of each option? What are the side effects? • Will I need a test? What is the test for? What will the results tell me? • What will the medicine you are prescribing do? How do I take it? Are there any side effects? • Why do I need surgery? Are there other ways to treat my condition? How often do you perform this surgery? • Do I need to change my daily routine? 2. If your doctor does not ask you if you have questions, ask your doctor when the best time would be to ask them. 3. Understand the answers and next steps. Asking questions is important but so is making sure you hear—and understand—the answers you get. Take notes. Or bring someone to your appointment to help you understand and remember what you heard. If you don’t understand or are confused, ask your doctor to explain the answer again. 4. It is very important to understand the plan or next steps that your doctor recommends. Ask questions to make sure you understand what your doctor wants you to do. 5. The questions you may want to ask will depend on whether your doctor gives you a diagnosis; recommends a treatment, medical test, or surgery; or gives you a prescription for medicine. 6. Find out what you are to do next. Ask for written instructions, brochures, videos, or Web sites that may help you learn more.

So much more than a homeless shelter

After you meet with your doctor, you will need to follow his or her instructions to keep your health on track. Your doctor may have you fill a prescription or make another appointment for tests, lab work, or a follow-up visit. It is important for you to follow your doctor’s instructions. It also is important to call your doctor • If you are unclear about any instructions or have more questions. • If you experience any side effects or other problems with your medicines. • If your symptoms get worse after seeing the doctor. • If you receive any new prescriptions or start taking any overthe-counter medicines. • To get results of any tests you’ve had. Do not assume that no news is good news. • To ask about test results you do not understand.

DON MCINTYRE, 82, REALIZES HIS GOAL OF DRIVING TO ‘TUK’ IN MEMORY OF HIS WIFE BRENDA ANDERSON Langley Times

Don McIntyre’s northern adventure is coming to an end. Having accomplished what he set out to do — drive nearly 4,000 km to Tuktoyaktuk alone in the dead of winter — the 82-year-old Langley man is returning with a clear sense of accomplishment, hundreds of photos and some great memories. On Sunday morning, Feb. 1, McIntyre climbed into his white Honda Crosstour and set out on his own for the farthest reaches of northern Canada — a drive he would make as a tribute to his late wife, who passed away from cancer in July 2013. His journey, titled On the Road Again For Dorothy, began as a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society, but for McIntyre it also became an opportunity to remember his wife, to say goodbye and to remind himself that he still has plenty of life to live. “I was kind of making up my mind as I drove,” he said over the phone, from his granddaughter Arica’s home in Whitehorse last Wednesday morning. “I did what I could when (Dorothy) was alive and I’ve done what I can now that she’s gone. “I’ve got to turn the page. I’m not turning my back on her, but I’ve done all I can.” During their 55-year marriage the Langley couple often spent weeks at a time on the open road, driving from coast to coast across Canada and around the U.S., usually in their RV, camping along the way. After Dorothy died, McIntyre made a solo drive from Arizona, winding along the Gulf Coast, to Key West, Fla. It was tough, he said, navigating some of the large U.S. cities, without Dorothy in the passenger seat to guide him. But when it comes to sheer degree of difficulty, McIntyre said, the drive to Tuktoyaktuk is the most challenging he’s faced in North America. “There was ice, there was black ice, there was icy compact snow, there was rutted, icy compact snow with black ice in between, and there was snow so (heavy) you could not see, and the big trucks were dropping big chunks of ice that you did not want to hit,” he

Langley’s Don McIntyre stands at the edge of the Arctic Ocean, clutching a bouquet of silk roses, which he brought with him to leave in memory of his wife, Dorothy. McIntyre, 82, made the journey to Canada’s farthest northern reaches both as a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society, and as a tribute to his late wife. wrote in an email to friends and family. “There’s no forgiveness up there,” he added. “You can’t do something stupid or you’ll pay the price.” The ice highway between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk was a revelation in itself — as wide as two football fields in places, said McIntyre. It is smooth as glass, he explained, until it nears the ocean where it develops “huge, ugly” ridges that limit drivers to speeds of 10 km/h. And then there were the extreme cold temperatures, which at times dipped as low as -46 C (-51 F) without windchill. As he travelled north, McIntyre would pull over occasionally to take photos of the spectacular — and incredibly remote — scenery. “You can’t be an atheist up there,” he said. “I think I was just overwhelmed

with the beauty,” he said. “Blue sky and acres of white snow. It’s so big, so vast.” Seven days after he pulled out of Fort Langley, McIntyre found himself bundled in his parka and mittens, standing at the edge of the frozen Arctic Ocean, clutching a bouquet of silk roses he’d brought to lay in Dorothy’s memory.

As he stood there, he caught the eye of a local man who had been trying, unsuccessfully, to start his snowmobile. Eventually, the man wandered over, introduced himself as Roger Ettaqaik, and the two struck up a conversation. “He said he’d been a photographer in another life,” recalled McIntyre. And so it was, through the chance meeting with Ettaqaik, that the Langley man finally ended up with a couple of pictures of himself standing at the top of the world — photographic proof of his accomplishment. McIntyre laid the roses, along with a poem he’d written for Dorothy, at the gate of the town’s cemetery before heading back down the ice highway toward Inuvik and the first leg of his journey home. He was ahead of schedule, having arrived in ‘Tuk’ a day earlier

than expected. During his drive north from Dawson City, McIntyre had planned to break his journey at Eagle Plains and booked a room there for the night. When he arrived, the clerk told him that a storm was expected to blow through the following day. She advised him to get ahead of it, so McIntyre carried on to Inuvik. A few days later, as he passed through Eagle Plains on his way south, McIntyre decided once again to carry on driving, rather than stay overnight as planned. As he gassed up his vehicle, the same woman with whom he’d spoken a few days earlier came running out to the pumps with an envelope in her hand. After he’d left, she explained, she’d told his story to some of the locals and truckers on their way through town. Passing the hat around, they raised $250 for his cause. So far, McIntyre’s On the Road Again For Dorothy campaign has raised $4,365 for the Canadian Cancer Society. He hopes it has also raised a bit of awareness. It’s important, McIntyre said, that people realize that just because someone has reached a certain age, it doesn’t mean their journey is over. “People look at seniors and they don’t pay attention. They think our lives our finished, but we’re not finished — not if you have reasonable health and the will to keep going.” Asked where he’d like to go next, McIntyre chuckled. “There’s really nowhere left to drive,” he said. Leaving Whitehorse, the Langley senior planned to make one more stop on his way home — in Prince Rupert, where his son, Cameron, lives. From there, he said, he planned to book passage on the ferry to Port Hardy and, with nothing left to prove to himself or anyone else, let someone else do the driving for a while. “I feel a lot better for having made the trip,” McIntyre said. “I’m pretty proud of myself, to tell you the truth.” A link to McIntyre’s fundraising page and more photos from his trip can be found at langleytimes.com.

Actor and playwright M.J. Eden on the set of her play As Little Children, which was performed at TWU last month.

TWU alumnus and playwright M.J. Eden ‘living the dream’ LANGLEY UNIVERSITY GRADUATE MAKING A NAME FOR HERSELF IN NEW YORK CITY Trinity Western University alumna M.J. Eden knows the life of a New York playwright is far from easy but, equipped with a supportive community and a strong work ethic, she is living out her dreams. Last month, Eden, who graduated from TWU in 2010, returned to the Langley University to see As Little Children, the play she was commissioned to write by the School of the Arts, Media, and Culture’s theatre department, brought to life on the stage. Inspired by a song about a girl building a boat to sail to heaven, Eden’s script explores the power of faith after tragic circumstances. “This commission gave me confidence, increasing my conviction that I’m supposed to be doing this, and that other people care about the sto-

ries I’m trying to tell,” Eden said. “I’m so grateful for TWU’s interest in developing me as an artist, even after graduation.” Drawn to performing from a young age, Eden spent significant portions of her childhood in Maine, imagining little worlds, writing poems and short stories, and corralling neighbourhood kids into putting on shows with her. Her family eventually settled in Seattle, where Eden learned of TWU through a friend. At TWU, Eden said, her “faith grew in a powerful way.” Here, she found a network of professors who mentored her, fed into her passions, and encouraged her to tell stories. “Angela (Konrad), Aaron (Caleb) and Lloyd (Arnett) fostered into their students, into me, not only creative growth,

but spiritual growth,” she said. “Aaron once took me aside and told me ‘You’re talented, and you will be tempted to ride on that talent, but it won’t work. You’ll have to learn how to work hard,’” Eden said. “I’m just now learning what he meant.” Living and working in New York is the fulfillment of her childhood dream. Currently, Eden works as a freelance writer for a fashion magazine and as an actor, but she hopes to write and sell screenplays in the near future. “It’s a constant surrender to God,” she said, “but I feel like this will be a pivotal year for me.” “No one can know the full impact of the choices they make,” said Eden. “But I have a hunch that TWU was an important one for me.”

Do you have a painting signed G.T. Brown or initialed G.T.B.? More than a century ago, in the 1880s, Grafton Tyler Brown was acclaimed as the first professional artist in B.C. and is famous as the first black artist in the Pacific Northwest. A University of Victoria historian is now hoping people will take a closer look at what is hanging in their living rooms or propped up at a garage sale. Many of Brown’s American pieces are well known to dealers and are showcased in major collections. But his British Columbia images are far more rare and most remain unaccounted for. As part of Black History Month, UVic history professor Dr. John Lutz, co-founder of the UVicbased Great Unsolved Mysteries in Canadian History website, is asking: “Where are the B.C. paintings now?” Brown’s paintings once sold for $25 to $350 but recently his best works have fetched close to $75,000. He painted in two main genres — landscape painting and “vanity” images (commissioned drawings of people’s houses, farms and businesses). Anyone who suspects they’ve got a Brown original is asked to contact jlutz@uvic.ca to learn more. Visit GraftonTBrown.ca for more on the artist, his life’s work and the “missing” paintings.

Gators ground Eagles in final The Walnut Grove Gators showed why they are the top-ranked junior boys basketball team in the province. For three quarters, the R.E. Mountain Eagles hung tough with the Gators, trailing 35-31 in Thursday’s Langley district championship game at the Langley Events Centre. But the Gators took control in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Eagles 19-9 to win 54-40. The victory helped Walnut Grove reclaim the district title after they lost the 2014 championship game, ending a string of nine straight titles. “I think we were nervous at first but really clutched up in the fourth quarter,” said Walnut Grove coach Lucian Saucic. “Some guys made some really big shots.” Leading the way was Gators guard James Woods who hit back-to-back three pointers to create some separation for the Gators. “He has been doing it all year,” Saucic said. “That kid is special.” Woods finished with 17 points while Damen Sturn had 13 points and Andrew Goertzen had 10.

The Eagles were led by 15 points from Kyle Collis and another dozen from Andrew Song. The Walnut Grove team, which is largely comprised of Grade 9 players, has used strong fourth quarters all season. The Gators were the number one seed heading into districts after a 7-0 regular season record. They defeated the Langley Saints 63-31 in the semifinals. Mountain on the other hand, was trying to win their first junior boys district title in school history. The Eagles were the second seed and edged the Brookswood Bobcats 52-51 in the semifinals. In the district final, Mountain led 9-6 after one quarter and was within a handful of points throughout the first three quarters before the Gators took over in the fourth quarter. The Eagles were trying to win their first district title. “Give credit to Mountain, they battled hard, they played us tough, they challenged us,” Saucic said. In the third-place game, it was the Langley Saints defeating the Brookswood Bobcats 47-30. All four teams advance to the Fraser Valley regional championships.

For the first time in school history, the Langley Christian Lightning junior girls have won the district basketball title. The Lightning defeated the Brookswood Bobcats — who had won 14 of the past 15 titles at this age group — on Thursday at the Langley Events Centre. “Play together and stay calm,” said Lindsay Westerink, who coaches the Lightning alongside Cynthia Wergeld. She was relaying the team’s strategy for the game. The times when Brookswood would make a run and her team

seemed jittery, the coach said she only had to remind them to relax and focus. “Ultimately, our girls have lots of gifts and abilities,” she said. “And we want use those to honour (God).” The game was tied at 10 after one quarter and the Lightning took a 23-16 lead into the half. The lead was still seven points, 31-24 after three quarters, before Langley Christian sunk their free throws down the stretch to win 48-36. The Lightning hit seven free throws in the final minutes. Natasha Dickhof led Langley Christian with 12 points while Liesl VanWyk had 10 and Emma

Hansen had nine. Brookswood was led by Jasmyn Faulkner’s 14 points. Westerink said it was amazing to be a part of the first Langley Christian squad to win the junior girls title. The victory automatically qualifies the Lightning for the main draw of the Fraser Valley championships, which will be hosted at the LEC. The Lightning were the top team during league play and beat the Langley Saints 70-22 in the semifinals. Brookswood, ranked second, defeated the Walnut Grove Gators 52-43 in the other semifinal, All four teams advance to the Fraser Valley regional championships. The Gators beat the Saints 4532 in the third-place game.

Grade 8 Gators sweep district titles

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

For the first time in nearly 20 years, the Walnut Grove Gators are the Grade 8 girls Langley district basketball champions. The Gators won their first district title since 1997 with a convincing 61-15 win over the Brookswood Bobcats on Thursday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre. Walnut Grove was the top seed entering the contest and put the game out of reach early with a 25-0 first-quarter advantage. “They have been working hard all year to get here,” said Grant Inkster, who coaches the Gators alongside Glen Knodel. “So it was nice to get the win.” Tavia Rowell led the Gators with 20 points while Brookswood’s

Karsen Look led the team with six points. Inkster said that while the school has always had good athletes, a big difference this year is the fact four of the team’s core have basketball as their main sport. And their commitment and dedication to the sport rubs off on the rest of the team. Walnut Grove entered the districts as the top seed and the win also improved the Gators to 36-0 on the season, including winning all seven tournaments they have entered. One of those was a junior tournament last month. “They stepped up to that challenge,” Inkster said about playing against older competition. While talent has never been a question, the key has been con-

sistency, which can be hard to find at this level. “With young kids, anything can happen,” Inkster said. “You are trying to get them to play every game to their ability level and not take anything for granted.” The goal has been to get the players to put forth the same effort, no matter the opponent or the situation. “We have been trying to teach them that you can’t flip a switch,” Inkster said. While making the district championship game was one goal, getting a high seed for Fraser Valleys was another. The Gators hammered the H.D. Stafford Skyhawks 78-13 in one semifinal, while the No. 3 Bobcats defeated the second-seed Langley Christian Lightning 28-19 in the other. Stafford beat Langley Christian 26-22 in the third-place game and all four teams advanced to the Fraser Valley regional cham-

pionships.

••• Working hard and putting in the effort are not problems for the Walnut Grove Gators. They did that for three quarters in Thursday’s Grade 8 boys basketball Langley district championship game. And that turned out to be enough as the top-seed Gators beat the Credo Christian Kodiaks 47-27 at the Langley Events Centre. The only blemish was the second quarter which saw Credo outscore Walnut Grove 14-6. “In the second quarter, we didn’t play fundamental defence,” said George Kozlovic, who coaches the team alongside Terry Stead. “And the problem this team has — and their biggest challenge — is their inability to finish around the basket. “The guys work really hard but they have a tough time sticking the ball in the basket.”

Walnut Grove as they scored the game’s first 13 points. And after the Kodiaks cut the lead down to five at the half, Kozlovic and co-coach Terry Stead got the team back on track for the second half. Walnut Grove forced numerous Credo turnovers en route to a 20-4 lead in the period. “They played smart and were in the right place and that ended up forcing a lot of turnovers and we finished our lay-ups.” Jacob Simons led the Gators attack with 16 points — including nine in the first period alone — while Joshua Sharp had nine. Credo was led by Ian Vandergugten’s 10 points.

The Kodiaks, third during the regular season, had upset the No. 2 Yorkson Wolves 34-24 in one semifinal, while the Gators beat the No. 5 Langley Christian Lightning 54-31 in the other. The Lightning edged the fourth-place Brookswood Bobcats 32-30 in the first round of the playoffs. And in the thirdplace game, Langley Christian defeated the Wolves 43-25. Asher Mayar led the Lightning with 11 points. Jarret Jacobs led Yorkson with 10 points. Walnut Grove, Credo Christian, Langley Christian and Yorkson all advance to the Fraser Valley championships.

Don is survived and sadly missed by daughters Donna and Linda, son David, former daughter-inlaw Sandra, and Ruth’s sisterin-law Nadeen Horwood. Also two grandchildren (Dan-wife Jess - and Dillon), and one great grandchild (Ella).

NELSON, Ruth Elsie (McAnninch) (GG) May 5, 1928 January 27, 2015 With sad hearts the family of Ruth announce her passing on January 27, 2015. Ruth was born in Kindersley Sask. and moved to Murrayville as a small child .She attended Murrayville Elementary School and Langley Central High School, she was also a member of Job’s Daughters. She is predeceased by her husband Robert McCallum Nelson (1977), 3 brothers Gordon, Bruce and Stuart and sister Jean Dillon. She is survived by her sons Brian (Wendy), Brad (Laurel), grandchildren Scott Nelson and Megan Burden (Brennan) and great grand children Calin and Liam Burden, as well as many nieces and nephews. Ruth will lovingly be remembered by her friends and family, we will miss her stories about growing up in Murrayville, her “Death by Chocolate” desserts, her exuberance for life, her love of tuxedo cats and her wonderful dinner parties. She loved to garden at her home on Barvis Hill and spend time with her grand children and great grandsons. She was an avid bridge player and in her younger years could play a mean game of tennis. She loved to travel, visited many countries and spent many winters in California. By request there is no funeral service, the family will have a graveside service laying her to rest along side her beloved husband Bobby. A celebration of life is planned for a later date. In lieu of flowers a donation to your favourite charity in Ruth’s name would be appreciated.
