Langley readies for refugees

Pulling Together

Not yet declared an official destination for Syrian refugees, Langley organizations are preparing for a possible spillover from Surrey MIR ANDA GATHE R COL E Tim es Reporter

Organizations in Langley are gearing up for a potential influx of Syrian refugees over the next few months, even though Langley has not yet been named as an official destination.

The Langley Community Services Society (LCSS) hosted a meeting on Thursday with participation from several immigrant agencies, faithbased groups and volunteers, to start preparing.

Although there are no government-assisted refugees expected to come to Langley, LCSS is aware of several who are being privately sponsored by residents in the community.

Numbers released by the Immigrant Services Society on Nov. 26 show two privately sponsored refugees and five blended visa office-referred refugees (partly funded by both private sponsors and the gov-

ernment) are on their way to Langley.

“We don’t know the number of people coming to this community,” said Sanjeev Nand, executive director of LCSS. “I think they said 900 in Surrey, (and) we’re anticipating some spillover. It’s better to be proactive … we certainly do not want to see refugees or immigrants or newcomers fall through the cracks.”

So far, LCSS is starting the community asset development process to find out Langley’s capacity for refugees.

They are also looking at lessons learned with the settlement of 350 Karen people over the last eight years.

Like the Syrian situation today, Langley was not supposed to be a settlement destination for Karen refugees.

Langley’s oldest and, arguably, most battered road will likely be getting an upgrade.

But the extent of the repairs — and what form they will take — depends largely on residents’ priorities for the concrete road that links 216 Street and the Langley City boundary, near Fraser Highway.

On Nov. 26, the municipality hosted an open house on the future of Old Yale Road. Display boards set

up inside the gymnasium of Langley Fundamental Elementary school explained the history of the road and outlined a trio of options for improving it, along with the associated costs and the pros and cons of each plan.

The Township’s challenge will be to balance the needs of drivers with those of residents whose property fronts Old Yale, as well as cyclists and pedestrians, all while taking into account the road’s heritage status.

Goal is to help refugees thrive, not just survive

The Giving Tree

From Page 1

MIR ANDA GATHER COLE L an gley Tim es

Gavin Kernel, 22 months, is intrigued by the red bows decorating the Langley Christmas Bureau Christmas tree at Willowbrook Mall. The Christmas Bureau will have a donation bin for children’s unwrapped toys set up at the mall until Sunday, Dec. 13. Those who donate can then place their own Christmas tag on the tree.

“The average Canadian has no idea about (Karen refugee) challenges or their experiences,” said Sharon Kavanagh, a volunteer with the Karen community.

“Many Karens say they have three lives: Their real life in their village; their 10- to 20-year life in the refugee camp; and then starting over again here in Langley.

“They can now laugh because they’ve been here for a little while, but the first few years were tough.

“They can laugh and they can say it was like having to become a child again. They have to learn how to talk, they have to learn how to walk and drive, and they have to understand how everything in Canada works, when it’s so different from everything that’s familiar to them.”

Another important aspect is forming relationships with the refugees, rather than “parachuting in and parachuting out,” warned Dr. Julie Clayton of Tipping Point Consulting.

“It’s not just about helping these people survive in their new context, but helping them thrive,” she said.

“How can they thrive and become positive contributors of our society here, in which we are all going to grow

and be nurtured and be developed?

“I think this is a great opportunity that we have to share together.”

For people who want to help, World Vision has published a list of the top five ways Canadians can help incoming Syrian families, beyond giving cash donations: • Understand the crisis and talk about it. Do your homework, understand what they have been through and dispel myths with friends, families and co-workers to promote positive perceptions.

• Chat about it online. Use the Twitter #CanadiansWelcome as a forum for ideas on how to help. World Vision will share friendly messages and videos with resettlement organizations.

• Be a good neighbour. Contact local sponsorship committees or refugee services organizations and offer your time and your friendship. Offer transportation, free space and jobs.

• Donate professional time. Translators, language tutors, counsellors and other professionals can assist the adaption to life in Canada.

• Do fundraising. Host a yard sale of bake sale, organize a local community event, donate clothing and household items but make sure it’s specifically requested by receiving organizations.

Three options, survey can be found on Township website From Page 1

Among the options under consideration are A) “Conservation” B) “Commemoration” and C) “Reconstruction.”

Conservation of Old Yale would see the least damaged segment of the original road preserved and the reconstruction — using concrete — of the section between the Five Corners roundabout and 214A Street. It would also include the installation of a multi-use path on the north side of the road, which would eventually be connected to the Township’s trail network.

The estimated cost of the conservation option is $4.3 million.

The commemoration option, at a cost of $4.6 million, would see most of the road rebuilt to modern standards, with a 375-metre section reconstructed in con-

crete.

It calls for a multi-use path to the north of Old Yale Road and the construction of a sidewalk along the south side of the road.

Reconstruction, meanwhile, would see the entire stretch of concrete removed and replaced with asphalt. The new design would include curbs, gutters, marked bicycle lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the road. This option would cost around $4.4 million.

The reconstruction option also includes plans to use a portion of the original concrete road as part of an interpretive display.

Originally constructed as a dirt path for wagons in the 1870s, Old Yale Road was covered with gravel in 1897. The existing

concrete surface west of Five Corners was poured in 1923.

There was some speculation that Old Yale was constructed as a corduroy road, with concrete poured over a bed of logs.

However, core drilling showed no evidence of that, said Township transportation engineer Richard Welfing.

More likely, he said, the road was constructed without any underlying reinforcement whatsoever.

While different enough to “tease people apart,” in terms of helping them determine their individual priorities, each option contains some degree of attention to the road’s historic value, said Elaine Horricks, heritage planner for the Township.

The stretch under consideration is, in fact, the last remaining section of the road

— which originally linked New Westminster and Yale, in the Fraser Canyon — that maintains its original concrete panels.

Linking Five Corners to the larger Township trail network is another priority, said Horricks. “(We want to) make the corridor more vibrant from a pedestrian and cyclist point of view.”

The main disadvantage of both options B and C is that a smoother road will inevitably lead to more and faster traffic, Horricks said.

Residents will be given three weeks to offer feedback to the Township.

Details of the three options can be viewed on the Township of Langley website. Once public feedback has been received it will be compiled and presented to council.

STAR STRUCK: Morgan van Linge (in blue vest) and Rachel Last (in grey jacket) of Langley were thrilled to meet Graham Wardle, star of the CBC television show Heartland. Wardle was one of several celebrities who appeared at the Langley 64 Avenue Save-On-Food on Saturday to swap autographs for donations of non-perishable food items, unwrapped toys or cash. UFC fighter Jason Day, actor Aleks Paunovic, Vancouver Canucks alumni Dave Babych and John Craighead along with Mark Lofthouse of the Washington Capitals also participated. In addition to collecting donations, the event was held to raise awareness about childhood sexual abuse for “Sophie’s Place.”

Child poverty in B.C. at ‘crisis’ level

An annual child poverty report card is once again criticizing B.C.’s high child poverty rate and lack of a comprehensive plan to address it.

The report from the First Call B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition found 20.4 per cent of children in B.C. lives in poverty, higher than the Canadian average of 19 per cent.

That’s down marginally from a year earlier but advocates say it’s far too high.

A daughter of a Langley City senior is speaking out after her 77-year-old mother had her purse stolen while she was getting her blood pressure taken on Oct. 22.

The elderly woman set her purse by her feet while she had her blood pressure tested at the Langley City Save-On Foods.

According to the victim’s daughter Joanne, her mother was having complications with the blood pressure cuff so she took off her sweater to try

An elderly woman had her purse stolen by the woman pictured above at Save-on-Foods. again. That’s when a blonde woman swiped

her purse, putting it over her own shoulder, on top of her own bag and walking away.

The victim didn’t notice her purse was gone until she went to pay for her items.

RCMP were called immediately but were unable to track the thief.

Joanne said she is disgusted that someone would steal from an elderly lady.

“My mother is a beautiful, sweet, kind lady, also a retired RN who does not deserve this,” said Joanne.

Joanne has heard that the suspect, who

is quite distinctive looking, is known to retailers in the area.

Langley RCMP said they are following up on some tips about the woman’s identity and the investigation is still active.

The store’s surveillance video shows the suspect carrying the purse.

She is described as Caucasian, 5’9” tall, 130 lbs. and has long blond hair. She appear to be in her late 40s or early 50s. If you have information about the suspect seen in this photo, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Young girl inappropriately touched Langley RCMP have released a surveillance photo of a man who allegedly touched a young girl inappropriately at the Langley Value Village store on Nov. 11.

The young girl told police that a Caucasian man, wearing a toque and work pants, approached her and then groped her before leaving.

The suspect is in his late 20s to 30s, with a medium build.

Anyone with information that may assist with this investigation, is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Uber gets friendly reception from council D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Uber, a U.S. based ride-sharing service that has run afoul of municipal authorities and taxi companies in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Edmonton has won a positive reception from Langley Township council, which endorsed the idea of ride-sharing.

The “Uber X” service allows drivers without taxi licences to make money by providing rides booked through the Uber smartphone application, usually for a lot less than taxis charge.

After hearing from Uber spokesperson Michael van Hemmen at the Monday, Nov. 23 afternoon meeting, council voted eight-toone to send a letter to the provincial government, urging it to allow ride-sharing, “in a manner that ensures public safety and meets the needs of the residents of B.C.” The pro-ride-sharing letter was proposed by councillor Angie Quaale.

“I will absolutely be a user,” Quaale told van Hemmen.

“I can’t wait to use this service.”

Quaale said an Uber-type ser-

vice would be especially good for Langley seniors, who are under-served by existing public transit.

Councillor Blair Whitmarsh said he’s tried the Uber service and found it “very slick.”

“The vehicles are significantly nicer than any taxi I’ve been in,” Whitmarsh said.

Van Hemmen told council Uber is hoping to build a “coalition of the willing” among B.C. municipalities who will lobby for provincial ride-sharing regulations.

Unlike Uber’s traditional taxi service, which helps users hail licensed cabs, Uber X allows ordinary drivers to make money picking up rides “These are your neighbours,” van Hemmen said.

“These are everyday people.”

He added the company requires mandatory inspections of vehicles and all drivers must identify themselves online before picking up passengers.

Van Hemmen called it “a very safe system.”

“You always know who you’re getting into a vehicle with,” he said.

companies sued to keep Uber out, the company filed a written response that said the cab companies “have operated as a cartel, seeking to stifle any form of competition or innovation in the commercial transportation industry” for over 50 years.

The lawsuit was later withdrawn because Uber didn’t launch a Vancouver service.

Uber is said to be valued at $70 billion US and is now operating in over 300 cities and 50 countries.

On Nov. 26, the Federal Competition Tribunal released a report that said municipal governments should relax “heavy-handed” taxi regulations instead of opposing ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft.

“The “check engine” light is glowing on the dashboard of the Canadian taxi industry,” the report said.

“The good news is that developments to date point to a clear way forward: If the old ways cannot bring about a satisfactory solution, then all that is left is to embrace change.”

Those charges were laid in 2012.

He was also put on the sex offender registry for 10 years.

Crown appealed, saying it made a mistake and should have asked for McIntyre’s name be on the registry for life.

Syrian families coming to Langley via private sponsorships are not the first refugees to be welcomed in this community.

In 2007, volunteers helped close to 350 Karen people fleeing the military government of Myanmar (Burma) start their lives over in Langley.

Many of the Karen people came from refugee camps on the Thai-Burmese border and had “very high needs,” recalls Lisa Sadler, a settlement worker for the Langley School District.

“They were transplanted from a jungle to a city and they lacked a lot of skills,” said Sadler, who was a full-time refugee volunteer at the time.

“Very basic things were very new to them.

“They didn’t know how to get money out of a bank account with a bank card, or know what to do with a Telus bill when it came in the mail.

“They would get food donated to them and they would open a can of tuna and not know what to do with it.

“I don’t think we had ever seen people with such high needs in such high numbers.”

Before coming to Langley, the first wave Karen refugees settled

in Surrey in 2006, and faced a rough start.

The volunteers in Langley did what they could to make a smoother transition.

“Churches, people and groups in Langley got furniture for them and completely set up their houses.

They had food in the fridge and that kind of thing,” Sadler said.

Regardless, there were still many unexpected challenges.

With refugees coming from a small region of Burma, there were hardly any people available who spoke both their dialect and English, to act as translators.

Many of the children were behind academically, and ESL programs in Langley did not have the capacity to take them in.

Their medical needs were extreme, and Sadler spent most of her time taking the refugees to doctor appointments and to Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

“I think the issues that refugees face are very misunderstood,” she said.

“We can’t look at them as immigrants, we have to address their unique challenges.

“These can include trauma and mental health, which can impact everything from school to employment to a lot of different

LIS A S A DLER things.

“Immigrants have time to tie-up loose ends. They have time

many faith-based groups began filling in the gaps until settlement services were formed.

Today, there are several groups in Langley available to help refugees, including the Promoting Community Through Kids in Sports (PuCKS) program, the Settlement Workers in Schools program and the Immigrant Services Society, which will “make a huge difference” for Syrian refugees, Sadler said.

Having privately sponsored Karen refugees in the past,

Sadler says her experience “has been very rewarding.

“I have built some amazing friendships and I’ve heard some pretty powerful stories,” she said.

“And a lot of our youth are really thriving.

“Even though the circumstances are challenging for them, they are involved in their schools, and involved in community service projects.

“For me, it’s really rewarding and amazing to be working with them — it’s humbling.”

Why we don’t walk so much This week, there was a story about a new study that found Langley was one of the least walkable areas and most diabetes-prone regions of Metro Vancouver.

The part about walkability wasn’t exactly news to anyone who lives here, but the attempt to precisely calculate the impact of poor walkability on personal health might help move the discussion about the health benefits of walking trails, cycle paths and decent transit from the anecdotal to the scientific.

Researcher Salman Klar of the Fraser Health Authority did some data mining of the My Health My Community project, which surveyed more than 33,000 respondents in the Lower Mainland between 2013 and 2014.

The Klar study, presented at the World Diabetes Congress in Vancouver, compared the Body Mass Index of people from the survey against the Walk Score, a number developed for real estate use.

The higher the walk score, the healthier the community, Klar determined.

People in neighbourhoods with a 90 or better number, so-called “walker’s paradises,” were about a third less likely to be overweight or obese than those living in the region’s more car-dependent areas, with Walk Scores of 50 or lower.

Much to nobody’s surprise, the City of Vancouver scored the best with an average 78 “very walkable,” and pedestrian-friendly Vancouver neighbourhoods like the downtown core (96) and West End (94) rated near-perfect.

The study shows pretty much every community outside downtown Vancouver has poor walkability and obesity numbers, the result of suburban sprawl and a lack of decent public transit that leads to less walking and more driving.

Langley ranked near the bottom with a Walk Score of 39, slightly better than neighbouring Maple Ridge (36) and on par with Abbotsford.

But getting the Walk Score up to Vancouver levels is not a small challenge.

It’s all very well for Dr. Jat Sandhu of the Vancouver Coastal Health to say municipal planners should keep the Klar findings in mind when designing neighbourhoods, but out here, where transit resources are thin on the ground compared to Dr. Sandhu’s neck of the woods, where budgets are tight and taxpayers are balking at paying more, it’s advice that may prove hard to follow.

Even with the obvious health benefits.

but because both options that include these measures, also call for a multiuse path which, from what I can gather, would be separated from the road.

To me, that’s both a safer and more pleasant option for walkers and cyclists — whether they’re using the route as the shortest way to and from downtown or are just out for some exercise with the family dog.

Of course, we live in a democracy, which means the best option is the one favoured by the majority. The more feedback the Township gets, the more closely their decision can reflect the will of the people.

Judging from the relatively large turn out at the open house (I got there early and had trouble getting a close-up look at some of the boards) Langley residents do seem to be invested in the road’s future.

For those who want to have a say, but weren’t able to get there in person to fill out a survey, the information and the forms are available on the Township’s website. It’s worth taking a few minutes to complete, because it may be the one opportunity we all get to help steer the Township in the preferred direction.

Christmas has its roots in a range of winter celebrations Editor: In recent years there has been some criticism on how the season is being celebrated or observed; one recent example being the plain red coffee cup.

If we take a closer look at the history of the season, maybe it could provide a little insight on this discussion: Christmas was originally called “Cristes Maesse,” which was a Catholic mass created during the reign of Pope Julius, centuries after the assumed time of the Christian nativity.

It was intended to be

a sombre observance of the Nativity. The date Dec. 25 coincided with the more exuberant and sometimes raucous ancient festivities of the winter solstice referred to as “Yuletide” by northern peoples and “Saturnalia” by the Romans.

This new “Cristes Maesse” brought a Christian presence to an otherwise pagan celebration.

Decorating homes with holly, door-to-door caroling and gift-giving are examples of the many traditions with pagan origins.

Another interesting point, Christmas Day

was considered by the Puritans, an excessive pagan celebration with no Biblical authority, and in 1659 a law was passed in Massachusetts requiring a five-shilling fine for anyone caught observing Christmas.

This “war on Christmas” lasted 22 years.

Thankfully, today we are free to celebrate the season with its rich history and many traditions in any manner we choose.

So Merry Cristes Maesse! Yuletide Greetings!

And Happy Saturnalia!

Thanks for donation of meeting space Editor: I wanted to share a secret that Preston Chevrolet has maintained for too long. For the past 18 months they have been graciously allowing our Toastmasters club to meet Wednesday evenings in their boardroom.

On behalf of our club, I would like to share our heartfelt thank you to the good folks at Preston for creating a space where people can assemble to address their stage fright and become better speakers.

Your generosity has truly helped myself and other members gain the self-confidence needed to improve our communication skills and open doors in our lives.

We look forward to continuing our relationship with Preston into the new year and beyond.

Bank’s move will have huge effect on disabled Editor: Disabilities come in many forms.

Obviously, physical and mental are the first that come to mind.

But legal and financial are the next two, followed by age, societal stigmas, addictions, or even losing your ID. Any of these can negatively affect anyone’s life at any time, and knock us out of the game indefinitely.

So I would guess that if the right eyes understood how closing our local bank branch will directly negatively impact 100 per cent of their customers, perhaps they could turn this into a win-win situation for all.

The sign that blew down last week is back up in the Langley Mall parking lot. And it shows a perfect new location for the TD Bank.

It touts, “Location, location, location” and opens next fall right in front of the bank’s current spot.

So TD really doesn’t have to let us all down and make themselves look bad.

One would hope that they could extend the lease for one more year if what they say is true, that they can’t renovate the current spot.

Or maybe they could temporarily relocate to Willowbrook for the interim.

This branch has been great to me and waived many service charges, showing that they are a brand that cares.

So I am sure that once the head bean

counter who made the decision to close the branch finds out how sad it is for society to overlook the needs of us “persons with disabilities,” or for us to change banks and endanger our lives commuting to one of the other ones, they will realize how much good publicity this could generate for them.

Then they could be the “persons before profits” brand instead of being perceived as the playground bully picking on the goofy kids with glasses.

The higher than national percentage of us in the area who rent and live below the income per-capita demographic, already struggle with too many challenges, and we do not need one more.

They could then become the bank that cares for us, instead of the one that doesn’t.

All it takes is for one of them to commute by mobility scooter to the other location and back, 2.7 kilometres each way, or $5.50 by bus.

Just Like Zosia from the Langley Pos-Abilities Society tries to show: Try on one of our disabilities for a day. But please, wear a helmet if you do. You’re going to need it.

And I am sure that nobody at head office wants to read the story about a Langley person getting run down on the way to cash a cheque.

Funding drive aims to raise $50,000 for hospital equipment Editor: One of the things I love about living in the greater Langley community is the commitment to local initiatives that I see all around town.

Just last month, I visited the farmers market; it was abuzz with locals supporting locals.

Marvelous.

I am asking the people of Langley to support another local initiative, a drive to raise $50,000 for Langley Memorial Hospital.

Doctors and staff at the hospital have itemized a list of much-needed medical equipment.

Will you help give our doctors

and nurses the tools they need to better respond to our families and our growing community? When you respond with yes and a gift, you will help purchase equipment that will be at work behind virtually every curtain in every department in the hospital.

Though I wish I didn’t, I know something about being behind the sky-blue curtain at Langley Memorial Hospital. I have journeyed with my husband, Brian, through his battle with prostate cancer.

I was there when we almost lost our grandson Jackson. He was only three-months old, just

a wee one, when he contracted a virus that caused bronchitis and pneumonia.

I have also been the one in the wheelchair being rushed down the hall to the emergency department with atrial fibrillation, and then there were the times I had my knee replacement surgeries.

All of these incidents have ended well. Very well.

I have the highest respect for the medical teams at Langley Memorial Hospital. We are truly fortunate to have exceptional health care in our community.

We are also fortunate to live in a community that is willing to con-

tribute to uphold an exceptional level of care.

Donor-funded equipment has been at work, to some degree, at Langley Memorial Hospital since the day the hospital opened its doors. Today, new, more advanced technologies have emerged, and professionals like our doctors and nurses need to have access to such tools in order to continue being able to deliver stellar results for individuals and families like ours — and yours.

Now it’s up to each of us. Our local hospital needs us and we need it.

I encourage you to support local

initiatives. What can be better for us than to buy farm-fresh eggs from local producers and carrots that have grown in local soil?

Let’s also continue to include our hospital in our ongoing commitment to support local initiatives. Let’s keep Langley Memorial Hospital well equipped to better respond to our families and our growing community.

The items on the equipment list will only be purchased when you and I give. Please make a healthy donation.

ing any more people. The woman had already injured one person with the knife, poked the knife at a second person and attempted to stab Kehler.

Thanks to his efforts, the woman was arrested and held in custody.

For his bravery, Kehler received the Award of Valour at B.C.’s 35th annual Police Honours Night in Victoria, Nov. 19. The Award of Valour is the highest award for a police officer in B.C. In all, four Langley officers were recognized at the event for their actions in saving a life.

Part of being a police officer is running toward danger. But sometimes situations, like the one Langley RCMP Const. Aaron Kehler found himself in, are a reminder of how scary police work can be.

In July 2014, Kehler arrived at a violent scene, where a woman was brandishing a knife and threatening to jump out a third floor window of a Langley City apartment.

Kehler put himself in harm’s way to stop her from jumping and injur-

ICBC ends special credit card payments on monthly plans Policy change to save provincial auto insurer $1 million a year JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

ICBC no longer allows customers who are on monthly payment plans to make special lump sum or early payments by credit card.

There were 55,000 such payments made last year — a small fraction of the 1.4

million customers on monthly payment plans.

Regular monthly payments have always been required to be by preauthorized debit from a bank account, but early payments in advance of the regular ones or lump sum payments to end the monthly plan could be

made by credit card, said spokesman Adam Grossman.

The move to end that option effective Nov. 1 is expected to save ICBC up to $1 million a year in credit card

merchant fees.

Monthly plan users can still make early or lump sum payments by debit, cheque or cash.

“We as a company have to look at any

of the premium costs that we can remove,” Grossman said. “And this is one where we definitely thought it was a worthwhile move to make.”

Constables Audrey Parent, Inderjeet Sandhu and Warren Long (currently with Emergency Response Team), received an Award of Meritorious Service for saving the life of a suicidal woman.

Officers were called to a residence in Langley City in October, 2014 where a woman had overdosed.

When they arrived, they found her unconscious and not breathing.

The officers began CPR and were able to detect a faint pulse. Paramedics arrived and said the officers had saved the woman’s life by starting CPR when they did. The woman was rushed to hospital and recovered.

The Meritorious Service Honour recognizes exemplary performance that exceeds expectations.

“On a local level we are obviously quite pleased and proud of the actions by Langley detachment members,” said Langley RCMP Supt. Murray Powers.

“All members of the RCMP recognize that we can be thrust into these types of situations with no warning or preparation. We count on our constant training to ensure we make the best possible choices for all parties involved. These members clearly accomplished that.”

Do you remember what Sunday dinner used to smell like? The aroma of roast chicken or beef wafting through the house? The rich flavors and succulent gravies that they made? Returning the family to the table doesn’t have to be a daunting task. In fact, it can be just as delicious as it used to be. Eugene tells us customers say “this is how roast beef used to taste!”

Eugene Vandenberg and Eleanor Cox have been bringing in some of the most exciting local and international products that make healthy eating simple, fun and delicious.

Eugene began his career in the retail/wholesale meat processing plant, then ran a sausage kitchen for some time. Eleanor has proven retail history as she used to own her own clothing store, however following her love of cooking, she became a head cook at northern work camps, cooking for over 100 people daily. She honed her skills as a pastier chef for Delta Hotels, and she is extremely passionate about cooking using the finest real ingredients available.

Together, they combined their passion for delicious, well produced food — sourcing out the finest meats, deli items, cheeses and condiments. Then, they listened to their customers about what was important to them regarding meat quality and choices, and spent some time educating themselves about the choices avail-

able in the marketplace (regarding organic vs naturally raised) After that, they added a huge selection of gluten free products, dry goods and condiments from around the world to spice up the table with international flavors. Today, they’ve created one of the most exciting butcher and gourmet food product stores available in the Lower Mainland.

A loyal customer tells us, “One of my favorite things to do is to “go in blind” (without a specific menu planned) I walk in the door and let my imagination “run wild” I’ve tried their variety of unusual, and non-medicated specialty exotic meat such as kangaroo, wild boar and duck. The wild boar and cheese quesadilla I made last week was a hit at my dinner party. And their helpful staff will always be there to lend some great advice, alternatives, or let you know when your favorite sausage is being made. I love their Andouille sausage, a Louisiana treat rarely found in Vancouver.”

Another says, “This is where I can feel confident that I’m serving my family the best. I can also find the cuts of meat that I can’t easily find elsewhere.”

What continues to make Heritage Meats stand out in the Lower Mainland is the quality of their meat products and choices. There’s a full selection of natural aged beef, chicken,

...healthy can be so delicious MSG, you are getting the freshest products in their healthiest forms. She’s also aware that many people are gluten sensitive, so she creates as many gluten-free and dairy options as possible.

“I can’t stomach those foods with all those preservatives in them,” said Eleanor. “And everything that I make for my customers, I eat myself.”

While there, you can be tempted by the large selection of cheeses from around the world.

How about ribs cooked right on-site, or pepperoni hand-made by Eugene? Real bacon, cured and smoked is so delicious, and made locally without nitrates.

“In our eyes, it’s worth all the time you put into this for the quality that you get,” said Eugene. “You just can’t beat it.” It’s more than just quality meats, it’s a passion.

You don’t have to be afraid to host a meal this season for people with dietary challenges such as gluten free, lactose or chemical-free diets.

Just choose from their huge selection gluten and dairy-free products from local suppliers. Let the wonderful people at Heritage Meats get you passionate for cooking once again!

pork, ham, lamb, turkey. They try to locally source their meats as much as possible — JD Farms supplies the turkey products, Gelderman Farms and all of the chicken is from Abbotsford. The hand-crafted sausage and bacon are made in-house. And they’re happy to custom cut to your needs.

The beef at Heritage Meats is 30 day dryaged, giving it that melt-in-your-mouth quality.

All their non-medicated meat comes from animals that have been naturally farmed. Naturally raised livestock receive no antibiotics or growth hormones and are fed an entirely vegetarian diet with no animal byproducts. It’s important to Eugene and Eleanor to take the extra steps necessary to ensure that the animals raised with this process come with documentation with every delivery. It’s another reason why you can feel confident that the meat you buy from Heritage Meats is the finest quality available.

Complete your meal with Eleanor’s fresh selection of salads and deli items. With their ready-made dinner items (such as soup stocks, chicken penne, or baked meat pies, home made dips), produced at Heritage’s commercial kitchen, you’ll be confident that not only will it taste delicious, but it is healthy. With a touch of love here, and a dash of spice there it’s just like home cooking. And with no nitrates, preservatives, or

20080 FRASER HWY, LANGLEY • 604-530-9531

For this report I would like to reflect on the very busy Small Business Month activities that your Chamber participated in.

First of all, I extend our congratulations to the Township of Langley for hosting two very successful initiatives. The Economic Forum held at Langley Events Centre with emcee Frank Bucholtz saw a ‘full house’ hear a variety of speakers on Age Friendly communities - a very real concern as baby boomers move into and through their senior years.

to host the second Small Biz Expo at the Langley Events Centre. The event brought together service providers of programs and grants available for small business in the Lower Mainland area. The event was very well attended and provided Fraser Valley business operators with direct contact to the various providers, as well as information on numerous programs to help businesses grow and prosper.

I was honoured, along with Vice-President Jack Nicholson and Community Director Brad Kiendl, to join members of Township Council and Staff in the Brookswood Village Business Walk.

The program provided a terrific opportunity for us to meet one-onone with village merchants to discuss business concerns, and to share information on Chamber benefits and activities. We look forward to participating in similar “walks� in each of the unique neighbourhoods within the Township.

In keeping with one of the Board’s strategic goals to work with other groups within the regional trade area, we were very happy to work with other Fraser Valley Chambers of Commerce, Public Works and Government Services Canada, and the City and Township of Langley

I am also very pleased to announce that we are in the planning stages to host a region-wide networking opportunity with 12 other Lower Mainland Chambers of Commerce on January 14, 2016 entitled “New Year - New Connections� hosted by the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam. Watch for registration information very soon as we expect this event to sell out quickly!

And finally I wish to recognize our Committee and Staff on the very successful Celebration of Excellence which recognized 59 outstanding businesses and individuals in our community. At the event we presented awards in 10 categories: truly a difficult selection process for the Council of Past Presidents.

Again, I extend our congratulations to all nominees and award recipients alike.

The Transportation Committee,

Local businesses strengthen communities, build resilience and foster innovation.

They create good jobs, support local charities, contribute significantly to our tax base and re-circulate the dollars they make many times locally by using other local businesses as suppliers for marketing, financial, legal and other services.

The impact of buying local, even a few more purchases each week,

can have a big impact on the local economy and on communities across BC. Imagine what impact could be made if all our holiday purchases were made local?

To see more reasons why shopping local is important, please visit www.locobc.com.

For a list of local businesses who can help you with all your gift giving needs, check out the Chamber Membership Directory at business.langleychamber.com/list.

Executive Director Lynn Whitehouse, and I also had a very informative meeting with Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese and City of Langley Mayor Ted Schaffer to discuss transportation concerns within the Langleys and the region, and to reiterate the desire of the business community to be actively involved in identifying fair and equitable solutions.

The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce is taking the lead to co-ordinate Chambers of Commerce in all communities from Hope to North Vancouver to conduct research and develop a strong business case for a single InterMunicipal Business License covering the entire region. We will also encourage expansion of the list of eligible mobile businesses.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff, I extend our sincere best wishes for the Holiday Season and a Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

Scott Johnston, President

Lisa Gedak Brussel Sprouts with Garlic & Parmesan This is my go-to recipe and is very simple to make.

4 cups of Brussel sprouts 1 1/2 cups organic chicken broth 4 large cloves of minced garlic 1 cup of grated parmesan reggiano freshly ground pepper to taste Peel the outer leaves off of the Brussell sprouts; cut of the ends and slice in half.

Put broth, pepper and garlic in a sauce pan on medium heat. Once hot, add Brussel sprouts, cover and steam until sprouts are bright green and tender. Do not overcook.

Depending on your preference, either strain the garlic out or leave in. Discard the broth or save to make soup later. Place sprouts in a shallow serving dish and sprinkle with the grated parmesan. Serve hot.

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Balsamic Reduction 2 cups of Brussels Sprouts 1 pack of thick sliced bacon, uncooked 2 tbsp olive oil dash of sea salt dash of cracked pepper balsamic reduction to taste (I use the “Famous” Balsamic Reduction from Cielo’s Restaurant in White Rock) Wash the Brussels sprouts. Slice off any unusable end pieces and cut the rest in half. Keep any loose leaves (they will become delicious crispy bits).

Put the Brussels sprout halves into a bowl. Season with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Lay flat, in one layer, on a baking sheet (I use a stoneware roasting pan).

Slice the bacon into bite size pieces.

Sprinkle the pieces over the Brussels sprouts.

Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the Brussels sprouts have begun to caramelize.

Place the Brussels spouts and bacon into a serving dish. Drizzle balsamic reduction over top and mix to disperse evenly.

Serve immediately. YUM! Karen Roeck

Holiday Gift Guide

Jazzing up the holidays Musicians from Trinity Western University are hosting two holiday performances next week.

On Dec. 6, the annual Christmas at the Chan Centre concert is one of Vancouver’s few sacred holiday concerts. For more than 10 years, this holiday tradition has provided families across the Lower Mainland with an entertaining afternoon of choral music.

This year’s program includes classic choral pieces by Bach and Handel, a fun setting of The Twelve Days of Christmas, selections from Mendelssohn’s St. Paul oratorio, and traditional carol settings that provide some audience sing-along opportunities.

Ring in the Christmas season with a stunning musical event in a beautiful concert hall.

Jazz aficionados can enjoy an upbeat performance by the TWU Jazz Combo and Vocal Jazz ensemble at their Langley campus on Dec. 8. Twice a year, the jazz musicians pack the top floor of TWU’s music building, turn down the lights and fill the room with infectious

ists double on wind or percussion instruments. Williams and the combo perform tunes from the greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Nina Simone and Bonobo.

The Vocal Jazz ensemble, directed by Dr. Jon Thompson, performs catchy classics by Cole Porter, Hoagy Carmichael, Dizzy Gillespie and the Gershwins — with one or

two Christmassy surprises.

Christmas at the Chan Centre begins at 2:30 p.m. at the Chan Centre for Performing Arts in Vancouver, 6265 Crescent Rd. Jazz Night is at 7:30 p.m. in TWU’s music building, 7600 Glover Rd. For more information, visit www.twu.ca/samc.

Holiday Gift Guide

Pioneer Christmas Monique Tamminga Times Reporter Families are invited to enjoy some old fashioned Christmas fun when the Langley Centennial Museum hosts its annual Pioneer Christmas.

Two sessions will be held at the Museum, located at 9135 King St. in Fort Langley, on Saturday, Dec. 5.

A morning session will run from 10 a.m. until noon, and an afternoon session will go from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

The cost is $10 for a family of four with a $2 fee for each additional child or adult.

“There are so many fun and festive activities for the whole family to enjoy,” said Township of Langley Arts and Culture Programmer Maggie Lukban.

“Kids will go on an exciting journey, moving from station to station, visiting the Museum’s general store, writing a letter to Santa, and mailing it at the post office.”

Stations include a Christmas crafts corner, cookie decorating, grandma’s kitchen, and a sing along in the gallery. Children will be given a passport and will get their tickets punched at each of the stations.

There will also be a visit from Old Saint Nick, who will be giving out a special elf-made gift and taking a photo with the whole family.

To register for Pioneer Christmas, visit RecExpress.ca, drop in to any Township community recreation facility, or call the Langley Centennial Museum at 604-532-3536.

A taste of Christmases past can be enjoyed at Langley Centennial Museum during Pioneer Christmas on Saturday, December 5. Please credit Double Exposure Photography

Q: Can I install Vinyl Planking over an existing floor.

A: One of the evolutions of the do-ityourself industry has been the creation of easy-to-use and easy-to-install products, such as vinyl plank flooring. Similar to laminate plank flooring, it is a wood lookalike product that is much easier to install but still provides durability and flexibility.

Unlike tile floors, which have a very specific series of underlayment requirements, vinyl plank floors can be installed over existing flooring so long as it is clean of debris, in good repair and completely flat.

THE VOICE OF BUSINESS Business Flood Preparation

Information to help you prepare for business interruption due to flooding Courtesy of Langley Emergency Program ~ www.langleyemergency.ca

• Think about: Are you paying your staff if a shutdown occurs?

• Alert partners, suppliers, or In the event of flooding where customers that a business your business may be impacted, interruption may occur you may be ordered to evacuate. An Evacuation Order may come with • Even if you are on slightly higher little warning, so it is important to be ground and are not evacuated, prepared. be prepared for compromised

municipal water and sewer services; public utilities, such as electricity and gas, may also be interrupted

Be Prepared!

Each business owner has a responsibility to protect their business where possible. As your business is in a flood plain, by planning ahead and taking precautions, you can minimize damage to your business.

Be Aware • Watch for warning signs in the river: increase in water flow height and intensity, mudslides, debris in the river, water colour changes, or leaning trees • Continue to monitor the news media and credible websites for flood information

Business Interruption • Review your business continuity plan with your employees • If flooding occurs, be prepared for a business interruption or shut down – make alternate business arrangements, such as an alternate location

• If contamination occurs, business recovery may take longer due to clean up efforts, so plan ahead

Staff Issues • Keep staff informed and promote preparedness • Encourage staff to plan now for temporary lodging with friends or family if they cannot get home • Even if your business does not flood, be aware that compromised transportation routes may prevent staff from getting to work

during business hours: • Follow emergency personnel instructions: • Begin evacuating as soon as you learn via emergency personnel or the media that an Evacuation Order is issued • Use the evacuation route provided by emergency personnel: • Do not drive or walk through moving water. Water can be deeper than it appears. It only takes 60 cm (2 ft) to sweep a vehicle away and as little as 15 cm (6 in) of moving water can cause you to fall while walking.

• Use extra care when driving as familiar roads will appear drastically different when covered by floodwaters

Tips for borrowing money without traditional collateral ~ Courtesy of Business Development Bank of Canada Banks are great when it comes to lending money for hard assets such as real estate and equipment. But if your company needs funds for trademarks, intellectual property, employee training or other intangibles, be prepared to make a very solid case.

It may sound discouraging, but don’t despair. As Canada moves increasingly towards a knowledge-based economy, more businesses are selling their knowhow and services. For them, intangible assets are their bread and butter.

That’s why more financial institutions are warming up to the potential value of intangibles, particularly if you can solidly

However, you have to be very prepared to answer a banker’s questions. How long will it take to get value from the investment?

Are the costs realistic? Are the benefits measurable?

Often, success with a banker will depend on the nature of the intangible asset and the reputation, size and track record of your company. Banks are more likely to open the purse strings for investments that generate future cash flows and add value to your company.

Not all intangibles are created equal It always helps when intangibles are included on a company’s balance sheet because banks will base their decision partly on your firm’s financial statements.

So, which intangibles can add value to your company? Often, they will be investments related

This year is shaping at 604-340-8537 or through our website at up to be more of the www.langleyukes.com same. One local expert

says part of the problem is Canadians may not realize they possess the means to protect themselves.

“The solution isn’t technology alone – the key is right between your ears,” says Lindzee Herring, assistant vicepresident of corporate security for Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union.

“While technology helps, the most powerful tool

for protecting yourself against fraud is common sense, your ability to think rationally.”

Herring points out that fraud attempts often have a ‘too-good-to-betrue’ quality to them.

“When you hear or read an offer you can’t quite believe, that’s usually the first clue that something is fishy, that you need to slow down, think and avoid making an emotional response,” she

says.

“Essentially, fraudsters craft messages in a way that’s intended to persuade or pressure you to do something, like clicking a link in an email that will infect your computer with malware or providing your credit card information over the phone,” says Herring.

“This is why stopping to think and not feel pressured is so critical.”

Impromptu routine pays off for dancer Student wins Youth Talent Search BC contest with dance routine made up on the spot MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

Albert Saguil wasn’t quite sure what he was going to do as he walked onstage for his finale performance at the Youth Talent Search BC contest a

week and a half ago.

The 17 year old dancer had nothing formally choreographed, but as the beat of Barbie Girl/ Super Smashed came on, his body took over, whirling him right into first place.

“I do practice, but when I go up and perform, if you were to video tape me three times — or even twice — you would see a difference between the first performance and the second,” said Saguil, a Grade 12 student at R.E. Mountain Secondary.

“It’s usually stored in my head, and then the

moves come out.”

Up against 24 other semifinalists between the ages of nine and 18 from across the Lower Mainland, Saguil’s improvised routines earned him a headshot session, consultation with a top film/TV agent, a prize pack from YTV show Some Assembly Required, a radio interview and a guest performance on Shaw TV. A performer of popping — a street dance where dancers use muscle contractions to pop their bodies — most of Saguil’s skills are self-taught in his mom’s dining room from YouTube videos and America’s Best Dance Crew episodes.

It started with learning “the shuffle” from LMFAO’s song Party Rock Anthem when he was 14 years old, followed by Gangnam Style by Psy. “My style is popping,” Saguil said. “I spent my first two years dancing without any formal instruction. There are different types of dances that are not recognized, but they’re out there on YouTube and on the streets.

So I grab those pieces and put them together to make my own freestyle.”

Although he is mastering his moves, Saguil never choreographs his routines, preferring to let the music guide him on the spot.

“I love dancing because I can practice at

any time — I don’t even need music,” he said.

“I’m just able to express myself.

I get to show a different side of me that my usual friends don’t get to see in me. One of my closer friends likes to call me weird, and when I dance I like to show my weird personality. It’s just an expression of what goes on inside my head.”

Performing as ALone, Saguil says his stage name the reflects his independence both onstage and at school.

“In our school, dancing is not a huge thing,” he said. “Dancing is something that helped me work my way into being an individual within my friends and the people around me, rather than conforming with the rest of the social groups.”

He also has a strong connection to the number “one,” with many nicknames over the years to reflect this.

“Some people can interpret my name as alone and others as AL one. Being alone is being unique as well.”

Now in his final year of high school, Saguil is switching his focus to academics, with the hope of studying kinesiology in post secondary.

But that’s not to say he’s giving up on dance — at least, not yet.

Saguil still plans to perform for friends and to continue with competitions after his final exams in May. “I’m not sure if this can be a solo career, but I do love to dance,” he said.

Albert Saguil shows off some of his urban popping dance moves that he practises in his mom’s dining room.

PRESENTS Psychological trauma after a car crash You’ve heard about soldiers returning from war with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But events at home can also have serious psychological consequences.

Car crashes often cause emotional as well as physical injury. It’s not uncommon to be depressed, anxious or afraid to ride in a car again after an accident. Sometimes the emotional, cognitive and psychological problems can be long-lasting, even disabling.

Jane still suffered from serious psychological injury (and chronic pain problems from her physical injuries). Most of her injuries were due to the first fatal car crash, but the two later accidents made her condition worse.

Medically, she was diagnosed with chronic adjustment disorder and depressive mood.

She also suffered from PTSD, characterized by nightmares and flashbacks, crying spells and fears of driving or riding in a car.

“What did that F&! #$% say to me?” roared a tough guy from the balcony, being physically held back by friends.

The third call wasn’t to the party — it was to the cops.

Luckily for the teens, they decided to shut down the soiree soon after.

We watched as some rolled off into the blackness of night on scooters and skateboards — sans helmets. Others climbed into what I’m guessing were their parents’ mini-vans.

Once again, all was quiet, except for the nagging worries that played like a movie reel in my head starring our kids, a future Molly and Zoe.

The Langley Community Music School Children’s Choir under the direction of Michelle Bredenholler performed to a capacity crowd at the Rose Gellert Hall on Nov. 21. The performance was part of the LCMS Canadian Music Festival in celebration of Canada Music Week.

Talent show for hospital The Kids Can Help Team is hoping a big night can help put them over the top.

Since they began in 2009, the team of Langley youth have managed to raise $80,000 for the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation.

And they are hoping that their efforts this year will help them reach the $100,000 mark.

With that in mind, they are hosting their fifth annual silent auction and talent show on Dec. 5 at Langley Fundamental Elementary School (21789 50 Ave.).

The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m.

The night will feature more than 100 silent auction items, a 50/50 draw, raffle prizes and door prizes with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Special guests include singer Shon Burnett, a finalist on YTV Canada The Next Star 7, 501st Legion Outer Rim Garrison Star Wars characters, and performances from the senior A and senior B Langley Ukulele Ensemble.

Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door or ahead of time by contacting kidscanhelp@ gmail.com.

Grades 4/5 students at James Hill Elementary held a ‘Soctober’ clothing drive to collect warm clothes for those in need as the weather turns colder. Teachers Colleen Giddings and Kathy Lambert helped organize the collection of socks, gloves, hats and scarves which the students then delivered to Ishtar Transition House and Gateway of Hope.

Perfection!

Langley Christian junior boys volleyball team goes 52-0, capping off perfect season by winning B.C. junior boys provincial volleyball title GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

There is winning and then there is what the Langley Christian Lightning did this past season.

The Lightning capped off a perfect season — 52-0 — in winning the first junior boys provincial volleyball banner in school history.

And Langley Christian did so in dominating fashion as the team went 7-0 last week in Kelowna, without dropping a set the entire time.

“It is surreal,” said coach Carol Hofer.

“Maybe it will hit them (the players) when they are older, but it hit me just how special this season was because you don’t often get an opportunity to have that kind of success.”

The Lightning breezed through pool play, knocking off College Heights, Claremont and Kelowna Christian by identical 2-0 scores. Only once did an opponent even reach 20 points in those six sets, while in the other five, they never passed 16.

They continued to roll in the playoff round, beating George Elliot 2-0 (25-15,25-14), Okanagan Mission 2-0 (25-22,25-16) and Abbotsford Christian 2-0 (25-10,25-16).

That set up a showdown with Richmond Christian in the finals with the Lightning again winning in straight sets, 25-21, 25-20 and 25-15.

“We rolled right through,”

A division of

Hofer said.

“The kids played amazing.

We were a very, strong unified team, 15 strong we say. It became sort of our rallying cry.

It was great because we were able to get everyone in to play, which doesn’t always happen at a provincial championship.”

Left-side hitter Brodie Hofer — the coach’s son — was named most valuable player, while middle Jeremiah Macadam and setter Mattias Dahl were all-stars.

The coach said the team had several other worthy all-star candidates as well.

At the start of the season, Hofer said she knew the Lightning had the talent in place to win a provincial banner.

“I would not have predicted a perfect season, but I knew we had the tools to win a championship,” she said.

“We just focused all season long on the process that we needed to follow to achieve what we wanted. We knew the championship was what we wanted, but we didn’t talk about it a lot.

“We talked about what we had to do every day, day in and day out, to get better, to get stronger, to make each other stronger; we had to push each other, that was a really important step in the process.”

Heading into provincials, Hofer said the goal of the team was not be out-worked by anyone, as well as focusing on their defence.

“We spent a lot of time working on our defence, something we hadn’t spent a lot of time earlier, and I think that made a big difference for us because it just allowed us to dig up more balls and transition them,” she said.

“Our offence is strong, we were able to attack at will almost.”

••• At the Fraser Valley championships a few weeks earlier, the Langley Christian Lightning failed to make the semifinals, and placed fifth overall.

This was despite being ranked second heading in.

While the junior girls volleyball atoned for that disappointment, by rallying to finish in fourth place at the provincial championships.

The team was competing at provincials in Delta last week (Nov. 27 and 28).

Sarah Brownlee was a first team all-star while Corina Beimers was named to the second team for Langley Christian.

The Lightning went 1-2 in pool play, beating Carson Graham and Little Flower Academy 2-0 but falling 2-0 to Timberline.

But the team qualified for the championship round, defeating Seaton and Earl Marriott in the round of 16 and the quarter-finals, before losing to MEI in the semifinals and St. Thomas More in the bronze medal match.

Saints playoff march stopped in semifinals

GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

Heading into the semifinal game, the Langley Saints knew they would need to contain Abbotsford Panthers star Chase Claypool if they hoped to advance to the senior varsity AA championship game.

After all, Claypool went off for six touchdowns the week before in his team’s upset victory over the two-time defending champion John Barsby Bulldogs.

Claypool didn’t score six touchdowns this time, but he still inflicted enough damage to help defeat the Saints 50-29. The teams were playing

at B.C. Place on Saturday night.

“He is a special, special athlete,” said Langley co-head coach Ryk Piche of the six-foot-five star receiver who is off to the University of Notre Dame next year on scholarship.

“With his body type, he looks like a third-year university player.

“We had two guys covering him, we had one high, one low, we had one playing man and one playing zone (defence) over top of him and there were times they would just throw a ball up in his general direction and the young man would come down with the ball.”

‘We shot ourselves in the foot’ — coach

Kodiaks moving on, but Gators fall in wild-card The wild-card round was kind to one Langley high school but not for the other as a pair of senior girls volleyball teams attempted to qualify for their respective provincial championships.

The Credo Christian Kodiaks senior girls volleyball won a three-team qualifier last week to earn the final berth to the B.C. 1A provincial championships in Castlegar, which run Dec. 3 to 5.

The Kodiaks were on Vancouver Island at Duncan Christian last week (Nov. 25) for the threeteam playoff,defeating both Aspengrove and Stratford Hall to advance.

Credo earned a spot at the qualifier after winning bronze at the Fraser Valley championships.

The Walnut Grove Gators senior girls were also hoping to earn a wild-card berth to the upcoming B.C. 4A provincial tournament.

But those dreams were quashed by Burnaby’s Moscrop Panthers on Saturday as the two teams battled for the one remaining berth.

The Gators had finished sixth at the Fraser Valley championships. The team entered the championship seeded ninth but knocked off a couple of higher seeds along the way.

From Page 35

B OAZ JOSEPH Black Press

Walnut Grove Gators captain Sarah Jadis bumps the ball during the Fraser Valley seniors girls 4A Fraser Valley volleyball championships against Port Moody at Elgin Park Secondary on Nov. 14. The Gators finished sixth.

C h r ist m a s T Trre e Buying Guide

After a botched punt resulted in a safety for the Panthers, Langley led 8-2 at one point in the first quarter thanks to a 55-yard touchdown from Max Joseph.

But the Panthers led 29-8 at the half and were up 43-21 after three quarters, with Langley getting scores from Joseph, on a 47-yard catch-and-run and then a 30-yard touchdown run from Azuka Okoli.

The Saints last score was a fumble recovery from Jayden Korfman in the final minute.

“We shot ourselves in the foot a lot of times offensively by not getting the ball out on time, by not making proper reads ... just a lot of things,” Piche said.

“Our offence stalled a bit in the beginning and then we started to come

around in the second half and it was too little too late.”

Despite the disappointment of the loss, it was a fantastic season for the Saints, who did not even field a senior varsity squad in 2014.

‘But we are a fairly young team, we have a lot of Grade 11s, and we see a very bright future,” Piche said.

“There is so much we have learned from this.

“We have gotten some valuable experience with this group of kids on going to the post-season and being successful and that little bit of disappointment where you want to go one step further.”

The Saints also expect to field a junior varsity team in the fall.

Piche also thanked the LSS administration for all their support in helping build the program.

They came close, but a buzzer-beating three-pointer at the final whistle by the Saskatchewan Huskies denied the Trinity Western Spartans their first victory of the season.

With six seconds to play and the Spartans ahead 77-75, the Huskies inbounded the ball and got it to Jonathan Karwacki in the corner, who sank a high arcing shot for the 78-77 win.

The two Canada West men’s basketball teams were playing at the David E. Enarson Gymnasium with Trinity Western falling to 0-8 on the season.

The big difference in the game was turnovers and free throws for the Spartans as they committed 21 turnovers and shot just 12for-20 from the charity stripe.

Kelvin Smith led the team with 29 points and eight rebounds while Lucas Mannes had 15 points, seven assists, six rebounds and a pair of blocked shots.

The teams also played the night before at the Langley Events Centre with the Huskies winning that contest 97-86.

The Spartans had an 18-10 first quarter lead but could not sustain the advantage.

Mannes led the way with 23 points and five rebounds while Dean Richey had 20 points

Trinity Western Spartans’ Kelvin Smith tries to create some separation against the defence of Saskatchewan Huskies’ Shawn Lathan during Canada West basketball at the Langley Events Centre last week (Nov. 26). and Smith chipped in 18.

••• The Trinity Western Spartans women’s team goes into the holiday break with a 3-5 record after dropping two games to the top team in the country.

The visiting Saskatchewan Huskies won 7048 and 71-53 last week (Nov. 26 and 27). The first contest was at the Langley Events Centre while the latter was at the David E. Enarson Gymnasium.

The Huskies scored the first 13 points in Fri-

day’s win and led 26-10 after one quarter and never looked back.

“Saskatchewan came out with a lot of fire and we got a taste of what a great team does on a second night. But after the first four minutes, we settled into the game and battled through on both sides of the ball,” said TWU head coach Cheryl Jean-Paul.

“These games have been a learning exercise in the things it takes to win tough games and our finishing and shooting really hurt our

ability to keep it close when we were able to make pushes. But we’ve had a very promising first semester, we’ve established a competitive mindset, and now have some time to get back to training and work on continuing to improve as a program.”

Jessie Brown led the team with 19 points while Tessa Ratzlaff had 17 in the second game. The first game saw Brown and Ratzlaff each score 14 while Natalie Carkner chipped in with a dozen points and seven rebounds.
