Township unveils $80 million cycling plan ULTIMATE CYCLING NETWORK WOULD ADD HUNDREDS OF KILOMETRES TO EXISTING TRAILS D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
An ambitious longterm expansion of bicycle trails in Langley Township would take several decades and $80 million to build. The “Township of Langley 2015 Cycling Plan,” posted on the municipal website on Feb. 16, would multiply the current amount of available cycling trails by at least eight times. The plan “is projected to be completed in stages over the next 50 years, subject to the availability of funding” the report states. Langley Township currently has 64 kilometres of on-street cycling lanes, which would ultimately increase to 360 kilometres of on-street cycling lanes and another 160 kilometres of off-street cycling trails by 2065. The $80 million con-
struction cost, calculated in 2013 dollars, doesn’t include the expense of land acquisition or maintenance, projected to be another $1.2 million per year for “street sweeping, road marking, signage maintenance, bike symbols, and pavement repairs.” The plan would add new bike routes on 96 Avenue, 102B Avenue, 199A Street, 201 Street, 202 Street connecting to the Golden Ears Bridge, 72 Avenue, 80 Avenue, 86 Avenue, 200 Street, 202A/202B Street, 206 Street, 208 Street in Willoughby, 48 Avenue, 56 Avenue, 216 Street, 222/224 Street in Murrayville, 264 Street in Gloucester, 24 Avenue, 32 Avenue, Highway 13 in Aldergrove, as well as 20 Avenue, 24 Avenue, 28 Avenue, 32 Avenue, 200 Street, 204 Street, 208 Street, 224 Street, and 248 Street in South Langley.

Smart thinking from smart phone salesperson MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r
It was the smart thinking of a cellphone store employee at Willowbrook Shopping Centre which stopped a fraudster from getting a new phone in someone else’s name. However, the incident did result in a Langley RCMP officer being injured in the scuffle and arrest.
On Friday, Feb. 20, around 4 p.m., a Langley RCMP officer was called to the mall for a fraud in progress. Two men were attempting to purchase a mobile phone using stolen ID. The employee phoned the owner of the ID and asked if that person was at Willowbrook Shopping Centre. Once the owner of the ID said he or she wasn’t, the employee phoned police,
New Spring Arrivals
said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. When the officer arrived, the suspect was getting into a cab. “There was a short foot pursuit and our officer tackled the suspect,” said Marks. The suspect, a 35-year-old from Surrey, resisted arrest and in the scuffle, the officer’s shoulder was injured. Another officer came to make the ar-
rest and now the fraudster is facing numerous charges, including resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. The second suspect wasn’t located. However, it was found out that the pair were successful in obtaining phones fraudulently from another cellphone provider at the Langley mall that day. The ID was stolen from a Vancouver restaurant in December, said police.

Sparrow wins on the cheap DISCL O SU RE D O C U M E N T S R E V E A L D O N O R S , S P E N D IN G D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A review of the election finance reports filed by eight winners and three ousted incumbents in the November municipal elections in Langley Township shows that spending more money didn’t always guarantee the outcome, with low-spending candidates edging out those with better-funded campaigns. For example, incumbent councillor Bev Dornan, who had the third-biggest budget, was defeated, while incumbent Michelle Sparrow, who spent the least, won re-election. The campaign finance disclosure documents are now posted online at the Elections BC website. Two Langley Township candidates had no money besides their own backing their campaigns. Sparrow spent just $1,664.37 of her own funds to win a second term on council. Her disclosure report lists no other contributors other than “Michelle and Jordan Sparrow.” Incumbent David Davis was the other candidate who self-funded his campaign, spending $7,219. Other candidates reported a mix of corporate and individual donations. Defeated incumbent Steve Ferguson reported the highest percentage of donations from “corporations” as defined under the Elections Act: $12,603 of $15,653 or 81 per cent. Successful newcomer Angie Quaale had the highest dollar amount from corporations, $18,476.79, around half of the contributions she received. Quaale spent more than any other non-mayoral candidate, $41,162.09.

Gymnastics coach guilty on 10 sex assault charges MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
John William Henry, a former Langley gymnastics coach, has pleaded guilty to 10 counts of sexual assault. Henry, 32, pleaded guilty to the charges in a Surrey Provincial court-
room on Feb. 16. He will be sentenced Aug. 14. He has been in custody on his own accord since his arrest last March. Henry had been a coach with the Langley Gymnastics Foundation for four years prior to his arrest. Originally, Henry was charged with
one count of sexual interference with a person under the age of 16. Police continued their investigation and the number of victims increased to 10 in total. The victims involve athletes he had worked with. He also faced a charge of child por-
nography found in his Abbotsford home. It isn’t known if he pleaded guilty to that charge as well. Langley Gymnastics does criminal background checks on all their staff. Henry had no prior criminal record, confirmed police at the time.

It would also add new routes on 52 Avenue in Murrayville and produce “significantly changed” routes in Brookswood, Walnut Grove, and Willoughby. The report says priority should be given to “cycling routes in higher density and higher demand areas” between communities like Walnut Grove, Willoughby, Willowbrook, Brookswood/ Fernridge, Murrayville, and Aldergrove. “Urban areas hold more population and employment, thus generating more cycling trips,” the report states. The report says eight such routes totaling 41 kilometres of on-street cycling should be built first. The Township currently spends $5 million a year on transportation infrastructure, most of it from Development Cost Charges (DCC) paid by developers, but only $80,000 of that goes to cycling facility construction (which gets a matching grant of $80,000 a year from TransLink). The report suggests the Township seek additional funding from other sources, such as BikeBC, a $31 million program for cycling infrastructure and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) Road Improvement Program (RIP), as well as the federal government. The plan also calls for new regulations, using City of Surrey requirements as a guideline, that would set a minimum number of bicycle storage racks at multiple-unit residential buildings, retails outlets, schools and other buildings based on their size. Interested residents are being asked to download and read the full report, then fill out a questionnaire for emailing to the Transportation Department Engineering Division before Monday, April 13.

Student video tackles bullying SHOWN TO ASSEMBLY ON PINK SHIRT DAY MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter
Lonely, trapped, rejected are just some of the feelings experienced by victims of bullying, says a group of H.D. Stafford Middle School Grade 8 students in the leadership program. Seven Grade 8 students along with leadership teacher Lara Lacroix put together a powerful video depicting one girl’s anguish as she is being bullied at school. With pieces of paper with the words ‘loser’ and ‘slut’ taped to her hoodie, she hides herself away from her classmates, who shun or ignore her. But then the tables turn, and one student befriends her. That one student made a difference, leading to others befriending her too. The video, which has also been uploaded to YouTube, was shown to the entire school on Wednesday, Pink Shirt Anti-Bullying Day, during their assembly. “We wanted to let those students who are going through a rough time know that they are not alone and to encourage others to pay kind-

ness forward,” said video creators Elise M and Sarah B. Sarah B played the victim of bullying in the video. The leadership students all collaborated as a group to write a script and, together with Lacroix’s help, they put a lot of thought into its creation. Filming took place at school and then hours of editing were done at home by Elise. The Grade 8 students involved in the video are Nick K, Sarah B, Marah H, Elise M, Sasha N, Tio R and Erin C. “We wanted to create this video in support of Pink Shirt Day and to show students the reality of what bullying is and what it can do to people. We wanted to inspire people within our local community to stand up to bullying and to not be bystanders. We thought of all the possibilities of how someone could get bullied and then we reversed them to show people that they can make a difference,” said Elise and Sarah. The video can be seen on The Times’ website and on The Times’ Facebook page.

Land Reserve (ALR), for permission to build the new museum on a 1.6-acre site of protected farmland in the 21300 block of Fraser Highway, next to the Derek Doubleday Arboretum. The museum, which has 25 restored aircraft, including six in flying condition, currently operates out of a leased 650 square metre hangar at the airport and has no room to expand. It already has an agreement with the Township to lease
the land. Two members of council had doubts about the proposal, saying they support a new museum, but not in a protected green space. Councillor Petrina Arnason said the plan represented a “kind of airport creep” into the ALR, while Councillor Kim Richter said “that’s an awful lot of paving” close to the arboretum. Both voted against endorsing the museum application to the ALC.

Published Tuesday and Thursday at 20258 Fraser Highway, Langley, B.C., V3A 4E6 by Black Press Ltd. Sales agreement No. 3298280. Contents copyright of Black Press.
Three-way races for mayor in both Langley City and Langley Township, plus a hardfought battle with incumbent Langley Township councillors over land use plans, led to a free-wheeling spending spree by some candidates in the November election. The races for mayor in Langley Township and Langley City cost about $180,000 — likely a record for Langley. As it was, there was at least a perceived battle for the top spot on both councils, although incumbent Jack Froese and acting mayor Ted Schaffer in the City easily won again. A significant amount was also spent by those running for council in both jurisdictions. In general, council candidates in the Township spent more, understandable given the challenge of reaching voters in a spread-out area. Perhaps the most fascinating revelations from the campaign disclosures come from two third party interveners in the election. When it comes to value for money spent, it’s hard to beat their successes. The Langley Township Unelection Campaign targeted five incumbents, and was successful in that three were defeated. It was the first time incumbent councillors had lost their seats in the Township since 2002. The Unelection Campaign set up a website, did a small amount of advertising and hosted a well-attended all-candidates meeting — all for just over $4,000 in actual cash expended. Langley Township Professional Firefighters political action fund spent $7,201, hosted an all-candidates meeting, put up signs, sent out brochures and endorsed a full slate of nine candidates. It wasn’t their first intervention in Township politics — but it was incredibly successful. Only one of the candidates they endorsed lost, and two who had formerly been endorsed by them (but weren’t this time) also lost. It cost them less than $1,000 per candidate elected.

Do you agree with the Board of Education decision that Langley Secondary School remain open?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Realtors, prospective home buyers and sellers, and others can stop hoping that B.C.’s property transfer tax (PTT) will be discontinued. It’s never going to happen. The reason? It’s a major cash cow for the provincial government, needed to balance the budget and there’s nowhere else to raise that large a chunk of cash without raising personal and corporate income taxes, and that’s not on for the BC Liberals. Premier Christy Clark is proud of what she says is the country’s lowest tax rate so this kind of special tax, that only hits buyers of property, is not going away any time soon, even though, as Clark herself says, it’s a drag on the economy. Here’s how it shakes down, according to a recent article by Black Press regional reporter Jeff Nagel: The PTT consists of one per cent charged on the first $200,000 of a property’s value and two per cent after that. That means for a $600,000 house, $10,000 is due every time it changes hands. This handy calculation is not just a painful hit to the pocket book when purchasing a home — it’s a major source of revenue, generating $1.04 billion in 2014. Don’t think that’s a lot of cash? Well, consider that the PTT raises significantly more than forestry — formerly the province’s number one industry — which only brings in about $757 million; or natural gas royalties, which at $542 million, generate about half of what the PTT does. These revenue numbers are interesting for another reason: They show how important real estate is to B.C.’s ongoing financial solidity. Without a strong real estate market, helped, no doubt, by record low interest rates, the provincial coffers would be much poorer. The province also benefits from rising property values and while there are exemptions for family transfers and first-time home buyers, it appears the property transfer tax is a necessary evil that raises millions to cover basic provincial services. A strong real estate industry and increased property values, especially in single-family homes, are therefore critical to government budgeting — at least for now. So unless the much-vaunted LNG industry or another economic sector can provide a windfall, the PTT is here to stay. — Tri-City News

Bill raises concerns Editor: It’s a strange time indeed when NDP Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair; Green Party Leader Elizabeth May; and former prime minsters Jean Chretien, Joe Clark, Paul Martin, and John Turner all agree in their concerns about the federal government’s Bill C-51 which, among other things, redefines national security threats to include interference with critical infrastructure and threats to economic and financial stability. Conservative MPs argue this legislation is necessary solely to prevent terrorist threats to our nation. However, under current laws, the RCMP and CSIS have been able to break up numerous terror plots. Our security services have sufficient powers under the Criminal Code and other statutes to deal with terrorism and security. So does Prime Minister Stephen Harper have other targets in mind? The government has shut down critics in the past. They’ve silenced scientists who produce research that conflicts with Conservative government policy. They’ve taken away financial support or threatened audits of non-profit organizations in an effort to suppress criticism of the government. And soon the government may have Bill C-51. The focus on economic stability could see new classifications of who is a terrorist. First Nations, labour organizations, academics and environmentalists should all be concerned. Aboriginal groups protesting pipelines or advocating for land claims could be seen as a threat to the energy policy and economy of the government, and therefore deemed terrorists. A union’s strike action might threaten the economic agenda of the government and result in members being placed under intense CSIS and RCMP scrutiny. Academics criticizing or complaining about the diplomatic agenda of the government of Canada may be spied upon. The RCMP recently called the “anti-petroleum” movement a growing and violent threat to Canada’s security. Under Bill C-51, environmentalists could be detained on mere suspicion, even if they have not committed any crime. We should heed the words of our former prime ministers, as they wrote last week: “Protecting human rights and protecting public safety are complementary objectives, but experience has shown that serious human rights abuses can occur in the name of maintaining national security.” This bill stifles free speech and gives much more power to secretive policing activities with no oversight and no accountability. It will undermine our rights and freedoms. SHANE DYSON, ALDERGROVE

It’s not working as a Family Day Editor: Re: your “We Say” editorial on the Family Day holiday, published on Tuesday, Feb. 17. You are missing the point. I agree that we never complained in the past about holidays not coinciding, such as Victoria Day vs. Memorial Day in the U.S., and Canada Day vs. the 4th of July in the U.S. Those statutory holidays started many, many decades ago, when most mothers were stay at home moms. If the company that Dad works at loses a day with its branches back east, suffers much lost revenue to crossborder sales, plus must pay all its employees, it makes
sense for the company to switch the day to coincide with the same holiday as is marked in the U.S. and most of the rest of Canada. So on the “designated” Family Day on B.C., maybe Mom spends it with the kids. But Dad must take an alternate day and stay home alone. Many families are split up on Family Day. Some have both Mom and Dad working and a sitter is required to spend Family Day with the kids. LENORA NICHOLSON, LANGLEY CITY
Just ‘pigs slurping at the trough’ Editor: I’m struggling here. Most people when they are fired are given a handshake, a small severance and shown the door. The CEO of TransLink is given the royal treatment, including an ongoing paycheque at $35,000 a month to keep him fat and happy. I need to have his job. CEOs of today’s world is nothing more than a group of pigs slurping at the trough, with a
parachute exit package that ensures that their inability to be accountable is profitable. This is another reason to vote ‘no’ to the PST increase. A ‘yes’ vote would only allow more room for more pigs to scramble to the trough. Don’t believe for one moment it means more transit. SANDRA STEFFAN, LANGLEY
It’s time to legalize marijuana Editor: The marijuana industry brings in around $7 billion a year. That money goes to criminals and drug dealers. Meanwhile, the B.C. government is $63 billion in debt. Ending cannabis prohibition would save a lot in the courts and on law enforcement, and restore the civil liberties that have been lost in the drug war. Regulated sales would earn tax revenue, and transparency would ensure that there is public safety. In reality, tobacco and alcohol are proven to cause more bodily harm than marijuana, yet it is the illegal substance. Not only does it cause less harm than other legal substrances, marijuana can also mitigate nausea, appetite loss, pain and anxiety.
Marijuana was criminalized in 1923, along with heroin and codeine. Not many people were using marijuana at that time, let alone knowing much about it. There wasn’t much discussion about it at that time. Considering how much this substance is now affecting the population, it seems odd that it was criminalized without a second thought. How could we so easily criminalize something that we weren’t educated about? I plan to make my voice heard by voting Liberal in the October federal election, as the party supports legalization of marijuana. CELESTE BEHARRELL, LANGLEY
Nosey Parker should check facts Editor: I am writing this letter to vent at the interfering Nosey Parker who felt the need to report my household to Langley Township. Apparently this person seems to think that I have a secondary suite in my house. Perhaps, before this person does the reporting on others, he or she may want to do some investigating. I have lived here for 20 years. I do not have an excess of cars parked in my driveway (it’s two-car household, and always has been), nor on the street in front of my house, I put out on average one garbage bag per week, so there is no clue there. I go to work, come home, do not disturb my neighbours, do not play loud music, keep to myself
except for the few neighbours I know well, so I am at a loss as to why this person would want to cause trouble. Perhaps this is a vindictive person with nothing else to do with his or her time. I hope this individual also reported the four other households on my street which do actually have suites (some have more than one). I will not be allowing an inspection of my property, as it is an intrusion of my privacy. You know what they say about payback, so I can only hope that someday someone will return the favour and interfere in this person’s life. NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST, LANGLEY

The B.C. government’s third straight budget surplus is the main battleground for provincial politicians this spring, with little else on the order paper to argue about. The main conflict is over the tax cut for the rich that results from removing a two-year surtax on personal income greater than $150,000 a year. It’s an outrage, says the NDP, starving our threadbare government services of more than $200 million over the next three years. NDP leader John Horgan set the tone in his reply to Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s budget speech: “I can appreciate that the minister was celebrating with the champagne-and-caviar set, but the rest of British Columbia saw $700 million in increased fees and taxes on their backs.” Old news, de Jong replied. It was a two-year surtax on high-income earners to help get B.C. out of its post-recession red ink, and it expired as it was legislated to do. This political theatre doesn’t help people understand what’s actually going on. First, a lot of that red ink was BC Liberal blood from dismantling the harmonized sales tax and repaying Ottawa for that failed experiment. Second, this temporary tax on the rich was a political strategy by de Jong and Premier Christy Clark, limping into an election

Province digs deeper into ICBC coffers for dividends HYDRO, MSP RATES ARE ALSO RISING JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s
The B.C. government intends to pull more money out of ICBC in the years ahead. The annual dividend from the public auto insurer — which goes into general government revenue despite repeated demands from critics for lower premiums instead — is estimated at $160 million a year in each of 2015, 2016 and 2017, according to budget documents. That’s an increase from estimates of $155 million for 2015 and $125 million for 2016 in last year’s budget. By the end of 2017, the province will have raided $1.5 billion from ICBC coffers since 2010. The money comes from the profits on ICBC’s optional insurance side, which can’t be used to reduce basic auto premiums because the two sides of the business are segregated. Critics accused the government of building its budget

Astronaut at Girls Fly Too A female space traveller will land in Abbotsford on March 7. Thousands of girls, women and their families can meet astronaut Wendy Lawrence, veteran of four missions to space. On March 7 and 8, more than 10,000 people will gather at the Abbotsford International Airport for The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too! The hands-on outreach event is held in celebration of International Women’s Day and Women of Aviation Worldwide Week. Last year, the inaugural Girls Fly Too event in the Lower Mainland took place at the Langley Airport. It saw a record number of girls and women take to the skies for the first time. Event founder Kirsten Brazier is a Langley resident and professional pilot who flies both helicopters and planes. Her goal in organizing this annual event is to get more females involved in aviation.

Thanks Bruce
I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

More than 260 walkers take part in Coldest Night Just over 260 walkers gathered at The Salvation Army Gateway of Hope on Saturday while the sun set on a clear night sky. It was a big change to last year’s snow and wet weather for the Coldest Night walk and fundraiser. Supporters of all ages gathered and walked 2, 5 or 10 km to raise awareness of homelessness in Langley and also to raise money for the programs and services offered by the Gateway of Hope. While final processing is being completed to determine the grand total, estimates are that over $20,000 was raised. This was Gateway’s second year hosting the event and there were more walkers, volunteers and donations. Not only was this a great event for the community to get involved in, it
also sends out the message that the community cares about the hurting, hungry and homeless in our own backyard, said Gateway of Hope’s Brenda Vanderhorst, event director. Walkers heard from MP Mark Warawa, City Mayor Ted Schaffer and Township Mayor Jack Froese on just how far Gateway has come from its inception nine years ago. The 53 volunteers who lent a hand in the execution of the event, as well as all the walkers, team captains, and fundraisers, were thanked. Prospera Credit Union, Kintec Footwear and Starbucks Brookswood and Valley Centre locations helped sponsor the event. Over 35 pairs of new or gently used shoes were donated at the Kintec Footwear booth, who later presented them to the Gateway’s emergency shelter.

Avoid the Winter Blues Is the changing weather getting you down? It could be the onset of Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. SAD can be caused by changes to the circadian rhythm of the body, or its biological clock. Changes in the amount of daily sunlight can disrupt the body’s natural rhythm and contribute to an imbalance in hormones like serotonin and melatonin. 5-HTP Is an amino acid that aids in transforming tryptophan into serotonin. Since 5-HTP is not present in significant amounts in a typical diet, taking a supplemental form can be very beneficial in improving mood and sleep.
Vitamin D Known as the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D plays a critical role in many of the body’s systems. New research has shown it may be helpful in the prevention of depression and be beneficial to overall feelings of wellbeing.
SAMe This compound is a critical component of many biochemical reactions, including those that affect brain biochemistry and joint health. It is also necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, playing an integral role in mood regulation.

Premier floats end to B.C.’s tax on home sales JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s
Premier Christy Clark says she wants to eliminate B.C.’s Property Transfer Tax over the long term but the province can’t yet afford to forgo the billion dollars a year it generates. The premier was asked about the provincial tax on real estate transactions at an appearance last week before the Surrey Board of Trade. “When we really start making a dent on our debt we really want to start knocking down the Property Transfer Tax, because it’s a drag on our economy,” Clark told the business audience. “We’re not quite in a position to be able to do that yet but It is absolutely part of our long-term plan to get rid of it.” The PTT consists of one per cent charged on the first $200,000 of a property’s value and two per cent after that. For a $600,000 house, it means $10,000 is due every time it changes hands. The province collected $1.04 billion in PTT in the 2014 fiscal year but projects that will drop to $928 million this year due to an expected decrease in property sales. Questioned later, Clark declined to give a timeline for the idea and downplayed the comments.
“I wouldn’t characterize it as a promise,” she said. “It’s something that we’d like to do. A promise is something we believe we can do. We don’t know that we can do it yet. It’s a billion dollars in revenue for government.” Clark said she would like to at least cut the tax to improve home affordability, but said the money would have to be made up elsewhere. The PTT raises significantly more than the government gets from either forestry ($757 million), natural gas royalties ($542 million) or tobacco taxes ($770 million.) It’s not the first time Clark has dangled populist suggestions of tax or fee relief far down the road. During the 2013 election campaign, she said Port Mann Bridge tolls could be eliminated ahead of schedule once a windfall from LNG begins to arrive. Realtors during that campaign urged the province to at least increase the threshold at which the two per cent portion of the PTT kicks in to reduce the amount of tax charged on average to higher end homes in Metro Vancouver. Rising property values have made many more homes subject to the two per cent portion because the $200,000 threshold has never been increased since the PTT was created 28 years ago.
There are some exemptions for family transfers and first-time home buyers. The government’s PTT take has fluctuated with the pace of real estate sales, but has more than tripled from $302 million in 2001. The province rejected a suggestion from TransLink in 2010 that it help fund transit by sharing revenue from the PTT, half of which comes from the Lower Mainland. The PTT has also been controversial because businesses and wealthy individuals can avoid paying the tax by holding real estate within a bare trust corporation and selling that shell company to the new buyer. Clark highlighted B.C.’s “hat trick” of three straight surpluses in her Surrey speech one day after the release of the provincial budget. Continuing the hockey analogy, she said it’s critical to play both strong defence in the form of debt control and offence in pursuing opportunities to grow the economy. Clark noted B.C.’s debt-to-GDP ratio — a key measure of the ability to service debt — is now 17.7 per cent and falling, compared to a national average of 31.5 per cent, nearly 40 per cent in Ontario and nearly 55 per cent in Quebec.

Langley City Salvation Army thrift store to close D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
The Salvation Army thrift store in Langley City is going out of business and will be closed by March 21, a spokesperson for Salvation Army National Recycling Operations said Thursday (Feb. 19). Madisyn Mckee said the store was unable to renegotiate its
lease with the owners of its current home, the Langley City Square mall at 19868 Langley Bypass. The mall is being redeveloped to update it’s outdated look by refurbishing six buildings to accommodate an unnamed anchor tenant. Mckee said the thrift store is trying to find another location in
the Langley City area. Close to 20 employees would be affected by a store closure. “We are doing everything we can to accommodate those affected and make sure there is as little impact to them as possible,” Mckee told The Times. “The staff are a wonderful group of people with lots of thrift experience, who we care deeply
about.” Mckee said people who want to make donations should visit other Salvation Army thrift stores in Port Kells at 19733 96 Avenue, and Surrey at 7155 138 Street. There is also a Salvation Army store in Aldergrove at 3111 272 Street. Langley City Council approved a development permit to overhaul

Pancake fundraiser at IHOP What better way to celebrate National Pancake Day then a free stack of pancakes? That is what’s on the menu at IHOP locations across Canada, including in Langley (19700 Langley Bypass) on Tuesday (March 3). In exchange for a free stack of buttermilk pancakes, guests are asked to make a donation with money being collected to the Children’s Miracle Network. The event goes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Guests can also purchase Miracle Balloons for either $1 of $5 and the latter balloons come
with a coupon for $5 off the next visit. All of the donations raised in a specific community stay in that area, meaning B.C.

The senior girls are Alexis Atchison, Jordyn Henderson, Kennady Keraiff and Tiana Tecson, with Marie Dacosta the coach. And the senior boys are Cole Fischer, Michael Keilbart, Braydyn Ingebrigsten and Stephen Syrnyk. The coach is Debbie Ealey. And representing Langley in senior boys singles will be Brandon Kirk. Kirk won gold in both 2013 and 2014 as a member of the senior team at nationals, as

’Cats prevail in OT thriller GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports
GARY AHUJA L an gley Tim es
Walnut Grove Gators’ Emma Smithson drives to the hoop against the Semiahmoo Totems during the senior girls tier II Fraser Valley playoffs at Yorkson Middle School on Feb. 11. The Gators went 2-1 to advance to the Fraser Valley AAA championships before seeing their season come to a close.
The Brookswood Bobcats very well could have lost in regulation time. “We dodged a bullet there,” admitted Brookswood coach Neil Brown. The ’Cats were facing the W.J. Mouat Hawks on Saturday night at Coquitlam’s Gleneagle Secondary in the senior girls Triple-A Fraser Valley final in match-up of both the top two seeds in the tournament and in the province. And Mouat went to the free throw line, trailing by one point, with four seconds to play. But the Hawks would hit just one of their two shots from the charity stripe and the Bobcats seized on the opportunity to win 75-69 in overtime. The Fraser Valley title was the first for the Brookswood senior girls program since 2006. Louise Forsyth hit a clutch three-pointer in overtime to extend the Bobcats lead to four and they never looked back. “The offence wasn’t flowing, and bang, she hits this contested three at the end of the shot clock and just swished it,” Brown marveled about the
Grade 10 player. He felt she could have easily been named to the Fraser Valley all-star team. The Bobcats were led by tournament MVP Aislinn Konig, who had 34 points. Forsyth finished with 15 while Tayla Jackson — a first team all-star — and Julia Marshall each had 13 points. Amanda Boettcher also had a huge game on the defensive end, drawing a pair of offensive charges, like she has all season. This was the fourth meeting of the season between Brookswood and Mouat, and it was back-and-forth, while neither team able to lead by more than a handful of points. “Every game we played them was tough,” Brown said. “They are a very tall team and they present us with some match-up problems. The problems we give them is our guards shoot the ball well and they have to guard that.” Brookswood has beat their Abbotsford rival three out of four times this season and both will be among the favourites when the provincial championships kick off next month (March 4 to 7) at the Langley
...to
Events Centre. “We tell the kids ‘the one seed doesn’t get a better draw than No. 2 or No. 3,” Brown said. Brookswood is the defending champion and was the runner-up in the 2013 championship game. Both years they were the No. 2 seed. But Brown did say it is always nice when the program can add another banner to the wall. ••• The Walnut Grove Gators senior girls basketball team was looking to join the Bobcats at provincials, but the team came up a few games short. The Gators advanced to the Fraser Valley championships after placing second in the tier II playoffs. Walnut Grove was seeded 14th and lost 85-40 to No. 3 Riverside before staying alive with an upset 58-35 victory over No. 11 Earl Marriott. But needed a win to keep playing, the Gators fell 80-53 to Fleetwood Park. Walnut Grove’s Cassie Stea, Emma Smithson and Cyrena Timmins were named first team all-stars from the tier II championships, while Chelsea Gill was a second team all-star.

Lightning strike for Fraser Valley title LANGLEY CHRISTIAN, CREDO CHRISTIAN ADVANCE TO SENIOR GIRLS SINGLE A PROVINCIAL BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
The Langley Christian Lightning killed two birds with one stone over the weekend. The Lightning senior girls basketball team captured the Fraser Valley Single A title on their home floor with a dominating 77-33 victory over the Agassiz Eagles. “The goal at the start of the season was to win Fraser Valleys and make provincials,� said Lightning coach Danielle Gardner. “This was a great accomplishment for our team. We’ve worked hard all season and to reach one of our goals is awesome.� The Lightning were the top seed for the Fraser Valley tournament
and they crushed the Unity Christian Flames 61-23 in the semifinals. “We’ve had a great season so far,� Gardner said. “We’ve played some good teams, have been pushed and I’ve been really happy how our girls have responded. “This team is tenacious and unselfish.� Langley Christian is 21-4 on the season, and they also have another tournament title under their belts, having captured the Christian schools’ tournament title earlier at Victoria’s Pacific Christian. Ali Wergeland won the most valuable player award at Fraser Valleys while Emma Kastelein and Jayden Bontkes picked up allstar awards.
The Lightning now head off to Lumby for next week’s provincial championships, which run March 4 to 7 at Charles Bloom Secondary. In the most recent provincial rankings (Feb. 11), Langley Christian was ranked second in the province among Single A schools. And the Lightning have put together this solid season despite fielding a roster with four Grade 12s, three Grade 11s and three more Grade 10 players. They did add another three Grade 10s and a Grade 9 player for Fraser Valleys and provincials. The Lightning junior girls won the Langley district championship earlier this month and
their Grade 8 team was third at districts. Both teams lost in round two of the Fraser Valley regional championships, but the Lightning Grade 8 squad gave the eventual Fraser Valley champion Walnut Grove Gators the stiffest test, losing 50-33 (see story below). By comparison, Walnut Grove — which has not lost all season — won by an average score of 58-22 over the five games at the Fraser Valley championships. “Winning (Fraser Valleys) is also a reflection of all the hard work in the off-season by these girls, all the coaches over the years who have invested time into them,� Gardner said. “And a celebration of our LCS basketball pro-
gram and the positive direction it is going.� ••• The Credo Christian Kodiaks will be joining Langley Christian in Lumby for the senior girls Single A basketball championships. The Kodiaks placed third over the weekend at the Fraser Valley championships, defeating the Unity Christian Flames 83-74 in the bronze medal game.
That earned Credo Christian a wildcard game on Monday and the Kodiaks came through, defeating Barriere 52-42 in the neutral site game played in Hope. Credo coach Sharon Allison said her team is thrilled to be moving on, especially considering the parity this season in the Single A ranks. “Most teams have beaten each other at some point during the regular season,� she said. “We played in tournaments against tougher
opponents and that has made this squad tougher both in skill and mentally. “There was some high pressure games in the Fraser Valley’s but the Kodiak girls pulled it off and that just shows the depth and determination of these athletes.� At the Fraser Valley tournament, Credo crushed Hope 93-13 in the opening round before losing 57-48 to Agassiz in the semifinals. Corinna Kuik was named a Fraser Valley all-star.

The perfect season continues for the Walnut Grove Gators. The Grade 8 girls basketball team continued their unbeaten run by winning five more games en route to capturing the Fraser Valley championship. It is the first time the Grade 8 girls have ever won the trophy. “The girls have been practising diligently all season and their hard work is being rewarded,� said Glen Knodel, who coaches the team alongside Grant Inkster. “The team has been working towards this all season.� In Monday’s championship final at Port Coquitlam’s Archbishop Carney, Walnut Grove defeated Abbotsford’s WA Fraser Falcons 57-27. Altogether, the Gators outscored their five foes at Fraser Valleys 289-111, or an av-
crushed Lord Tweedsmuir 45-18. Tavia Rowell was named the tournament’s most valuable player while Rolande Taylor and Natalie Monro were all-stars. The Gators enter next week’s Grade 8 girls invitational provincial basketball championships at Pitt Meadows Secondary next week with a record of 41-0. ••• The Walnut Grove junior boys placed seventh at their Fraser Valley championship tournament, edging Port Moody 53-51. The Gators will compete at the B.C. junior boys provincial basketball championships at the Langley Events Centre Feb. 25 to 28. And the Brookswood Bobcats junior girls will be in the field at the LEC the following week (March 4 to 7) for the B.C. junior girls provincial championships.

Strong on his skis — he has been on the mountainside since he was four years old — Emmanuel Bussani knows what needs to be done to take the next step. Some work on his target practice and that could be the difference between silver and gold next time around for the firstyear biathlete. Bussani, a 13-year-
old from Aldergrove, was competing at the B.C. cadet provincial biathlon championships at Whistler Olympic Park on Feb. 15. Bussani won silver, losing to teammate Ethan Algra in the competition. The difference was that Algra hit eight of 10 targets, while Bussani was 2-for-10. Each missed target results in a time penalty. The sport consists of the athletes skiing and in between laps, taking aim at five targets which are 10m away. The trick — and it’s not easy — is to calm the heart rate down to take proper aim at the targets. While losing is never fun, Bussani was happy with his silver medal, especially since he is so new to the sport. Both Algra and Bussani compete for the Silverfox Air Cadets out of Abbotsford. Bussani chose the Abbotsford cadet club since they had a biathlon team and the Langley cadets did not. The championships consisted of a total of 2-km of skiing. To prepare for the sport, Bussani usually goes to either Whistler or Cypress. Or he will strap on pair of roller-skies. He also does daily cardio — either swimming, running or biking — and works on his target practice once a week at the Abbotsford Fish and Game Club. Bussani already has his sights set on next year as he aims to qualify for the national championships. Long-term, he would love to represent Canada at the Olympics. Bussani thanked Peter and Lynn Agra, who drive him to the mountain to practice, as well as Capt. Lorna Martin from the Abbotsford air cadet squadron for all their involvement.

Strong showing for swim club at AA provincials
Why should Langley vote YES?
John Park and Luke Stewart-Beinder combined to win five medals to lead the Langley Olympians. The swim club was competing at the B.C. short course AA championships in Chilliwack on Feb. 14 and 15. Park, 10, won gold in the 11 and under 100 breast and silver in both the 200IM and 200 breast. He also achieved the qualifying times for both the 100 and 200 breast for next month’s provincial AAA championships. Stewart-Beinder, 10, won gold in the 11 and under 100 fly and bronze in the 100 free, as well as qualifying in both events for the AAA championships. And another Olympians swimmer, 13-yearold Sarah Buckingham, won bronze in the girls 12/13 400IM. She also achieved her qualifying time for the 800 free for the AAA championships. Other members of the Olympians were in the pool in Richmond that weekend for a separate meet.

Gold Key Langley Volkswagen makes history. continued from page 35
When a Volkswagen dealership makes it into the prestigious Wolfsburg Crest Club, it’s because they’ve met the highest Volkswagen standards in service and sales. Those of you who have driven one of our vehicles know what kind of standards we’re talking about.
with two sophisticated AWD systems to keep it ahead of the pack. The base engine is a 1.4L turbo 4-cylinder with 160hp but this model is only available with a 6-speed manual transmission; if the buyer wants and automatic, the larger 180hp 2.4L 4-cylinder is fitted with a class leading 9-speed automatic. There is a whopping $2,990 premium to get the larger engine and automatic on the Sport trim and just $1,495 on the North, excluding the price premium to get AWD. At the end of the day this Jeep has a very attractive exterior and interior and is something fresh in one of the hottest segments in the market. The price can jump very, very quickly if the buyer wants AWD and automatic. Time will tell if buyers will spend the extra to buy the higher end models. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca
Such an accomplishment doesn’t just happen by chance. Every day, the team at Gold Key Langley Volkswagen makes every effort to provide nothing but the best for their customers. Membership in the Wolfsburg Crest Club is fitting recognition of their remarkable work. And you’ll no doubt agree if you come in for a visit. Because they meet more than the highest Volkswagen standards – they meet yours.

of the twenty-six models have AWD available even on the base trim. The Renegade’s base AWD system is a lighter weight active powertrain that can disconnect the rear wheels to save fuel but reconnect them in a fraction of a second if the temperature drops of the windshield wipers are turned on. On dry pavement, the system only needs to detect the slightest wheel slippage to engage the AWD capability. In addition there is a terrain select knob in each model that lets the driver choose between auto, snow, sand, mud and rocks to alert the Renegades’ traction control, stability control and engine/transmission electronics to keep the Jeep moving in different situations. The ultimate is the AWD system with a low setting for crawling over rocks, something Jeep purest appreciate. Verdict The Jeep Renegade follows on the heels of some other stylish compact crossover vehicles like the Kia Soul and Nissan Juke that provide a bit more flair, rather than just practicality. This new Renegade also has the advantage of being equipped

WHY DETAIL YOUR VEHICLE?
Protect
Value
Regular detailing helps keep your car in showroom condition. Just washing your car at home will not prevent paint damage from bird droppings, insect residue, tree sap, road salt, acid rain and the sun.
Stay Healthy
You maintain your vehicle by doing tune ups, oil changes and tire rotations. Regular detailing helps maintain the cosmetic condition of your vehicle for a higher resale value.
Enjoy Aren’t you happier when you drive a clean vehicle?
Having the interior of your vehicle professionally detailed not only helps fading or cracking, it can also remove potentially unhealthy dust mites and bacteria from carpets and fabric.

1. 1965 Acadian Beaumont Sport Deluxe- Similar to the American Chevrolet Chevelle, the Beaumont Sport Deluxe followed the original muscle car formula of the Pontiac GTO by stuffing the most powerful engine readily available into the smallest body. Only twenty-three were built with the potent L79 327 cubic inch, 350 hp engine option. All were built in GM’s Oshawa, ON plant. 2. 1974-75 Bricklin SV-1- The Bricklin was a gullwing door sports car that was built in what was then a relatively under-employed part of New Brunswick. Generous tax-incentives were paid out of the provincial coffers to get Malcolm Bricklin to locate his factory there. If it all sounds familiar, it should, this was essentially the DeLorean story played out seven years earlier in Canada rather than Northern Ireland. Sadly, it ended much the same way with not even two years of production of the Bricklin “safety sports car” before the whole operation folded up owing the government of New Brunswick over $20 million. Power came from either Ford or AMC V8s. 3. 1956 Studebaker Flight Hawk- The Hawk was a particularly fine-looking coupe that was a derivative of the 1953 Robert Bourke/Raymond Loewy Starliner coupe. Oddly, only the 1956 model year base six-cylinder Flight Hawk coupes were built in Canada in Studebaker’s Hamilton, ON plant where the last Studebakers rolled off the line just ten years later in 1966. 4. 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6Most Americans are blissfully unaware that William Shatner and Michael J. Fox are actually Canadian. They’d likely be equally surprised to find out that one of the most quintessentially American muscle cars was actually Canadian. The last (and some argue the best) Pontiac Trans Am with the WS6 package was assembled alongside its F-body cousin the Chevrolet Camaro in Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec where production had shifted in 1993. 5. 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS 35th Anniversary- Chevrolet certainly had an interesting way of celebrating the Camaro’s birthday—they killed it at age thirty-five. The SS shared the Corvette-derived LS6 powerplant with the above-mentioned Trans Am WS6. In its convertible form, it is quite collectible. After F-body production ended in 2002, GM closed the plant, which was the last GM plant operating outside of Ontario.

NEUFELD de Boer, Ali Geertruida (nee Tensen) Born May 8, 1930 - February 12, 2015 It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my wife, of 54 years, the mother of my 2 children, and the Oma of my 4 grandchildren. FOLLETT, Bradley, William aged 53 years passed away peacefully on February 22, 2015. He is lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his wife Leanna Follett. His children Jason Follett (Lindsay Allan ) and Meghan Follett. His mother Sharron Follett, his sister Heather Hebbes (Kerry Hebbes) and their children Kylee and Landon Hebbes, also by his many Aunts, Uncles, Sister and brother in laws, nieces and nephews, cousins and friends, too numerous to name. He is predeceased by his father Thomas Follett and his brother Gregory Follett. A Celebration of his Life will be held at The Sunrise Banquet Centre 5460 188 Street, Surrey BC on Saturday February 28, 2015 at 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers donations to the United Way would be greatly appreciated.
Jacob George With deep sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Jacob George Neufeld on February 20, 2015 in Langley at the age of 93. “JG” has gone home to meet his Heavenly Father and to join Anna, his loving wife of 59 years. Born in the Ukraine; later moving to Ontario before retiring in Langley, BC. He lived an extraordinary life, with total dedication to his family and with an exceptional commitment to helping others. His impact and generosity reached individuals and educational institutions globally. With a deep Christian foundation “JG” universally sought to help others. His legacy lives on. He will be remembered fondly, by his five daughters, Barbara (Dave), Lori (Bruce), Heidi (John), Houlda, Kaethe (Ian) and their families including his grandchildren Jennifer (Steve), Jake (Laura), Jonathan (Becca), Caitlin (Taylor), Jackson and Chris. In lieu of flowers, in loving memory of our father, contributions may be designated to the Dr. J G Neufeld Scholarship at Trinity Western University, 7600 Glover Rd, Langley, BC V2Y 1Y1. www.twu.ca/giving. A memorial service will be held on Monday, March 2, 2015 at 11:00 am at Bethel Mennonite Church, 24687 56 Ave., Langley. Refreshments to follow.
