SPORTS Angels Hit the Ice

Taking the Icy Plunge Dozens of people started off the New Year with a shivery splash on Friday afternoon, during the third annual Fort Langley polar bear swim.

With temperatures hovering at zero degrees, participants huddled in bathing suits and costumes on Brae Island beach before braving the icy water of the Fraser River.

Langley man pulls horses from burning barn Dec. 30 blaze on South Surrey property claimed lives of three horses; two dogs and at least one cat also believed to be lost TR AC Y H O L M E S Bl ack Pre s s

Langley resident Morgan Dansie didn’t hesitate when he saw a barn engulfed in fire on South Surrey acreage last Wednesday.

“I just ran up there, yelling for people… heard the horses going crazy,” Dansie, 30, told the Langley Times’ sister paper, the

Peace Arch News, Thursday morning.

The new father was en route to White Rock’s Peace Arch Hospital with his wife, week-old son and mother-in-law just before noon Dec. 30 when he spotted trouble in the 16600-block of 16 Avenue — just east of the 16 Avenue on-ramp to Highway 99.

“I saw the smoke, then I saw flames, pulled over,” Dansie said.

After calling 911, Dansie said he “ran and ran and ran” up the long driveway until he reached the burning building, where he discovered several horses trapped in paddocks, flames burning within two and a half metres of them.

“They were looking at me, ‘help me’,” he said, describing the panic he saw in the animals’ eyes.

“I had to go in and grab ’em one by one to get ’em moving, then get out of the way.”

Dansie figures he released about eight horses before the fire made it impossible to continue.

“Every horse that I pulled out, the flames were getting more intense and more intense,” he said.

Former City of Langley council member dies Dave Hall, who served on both City council and the Langley board of education, has succumbed to cancer at age 63

Born at 1:40 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 1, Reagan Dinzey is the first baby of 2016 from Langley Memorial Hospital.

She was welcomed home by parents Derek and Elsa, and older brothers Kurtis, 2, and Gavin (pictured), 3.

Former City of Langley Councillor Dave Hall has died.

The City made the announcement on Monday, praising Hall for both his passion for the community and his devotion to his role as a member of council.

First elected seven years ago, Hall, who stepped away from his duties late last year to focus on his cancer battle, was a champion of recreation in the City, serving on numerous committees, including Parks and Environment, as well as with business development and planning.

Prior to his time on City council, Hall served for nine years as a trustee in the Langley school district. The retired teacher was a resident of the City for more than 30 years.

Coun. Hall, who passed away early in the morning on Monday, Jan. 4 at the age of 63, was a well-rounded fitness and sports enthusiast who brought his enthusiasm to many different City held functions and activities.

Personally, he enjoyed his Al Anderson morning swim and his daily cycling routine while continually committing to specific endeavors like the City of Langley Tri-it Triathlon and the annual Terry Fox Run. As an advocate for the new Timms Community Centre, he was looking forward to trying out the walking/running track in the new facility, which is scheduled to open in February.

“Dave was a devoted member of council,” said Mayor Ted Schaffer.

“He regularly conducted his own research to understand the

Welcome, Reagan Langley’s first baby of 2016 is a little girl, born to Fort Langley family At 1:40 p.m. on Jan. 1, Reagan Dinzey was welcomed as the first baby of 2016 at Langley Memorial Hospital.

Parents Elsa and Derek say they were shocked to find out their afternoon birth was the first at the hospital that day.

“There was another couple that apparently had gone into labour earlier, but it was their first so it was taking them a while. Therefore we were surprised to be first,” Derek said.

Oddly enough, the couple’s friend and pastor of their church — North Langley Community Church — was just two doors down the hall at the hospital and gave birth to the last baby of 2015.

Reagan is now home in Fort Langley with her parents and two older brothers, Gavin, 3, and Kurtis, 2.

“It’s our first girl, and with a girl comes excitement,” Elsa said.

“I’m also happy I should be able to remember her birthday,” Derek added.

issues and possibilities within our city. Dave often brought an opposing view to the council table, which contributed to compelling and engaging discussions.”

City of Langley flags will fly at half-mast in remembrance of this dedicated, passionate and thought-provoking man, states a release from the City.

In lieu of flowers, the Hall family requests that any donations be directed toward organizations that support cancer research, including the Terry Fox Foundation or the BC Cancer Foundation.

More information about a celebration of life will be provided as it becomes available.

Fire chief commends rescuer’s actions, but urges caution From Page 1

“After I let them out, they all wanted to follow me.

“There were flames shooting out the roof, out the sides, the windows.”

Firefighters, police, paramedics and animal-control officers arrived on the scene shortly after, and the surviving horses were reportedly taken in by a neighbour. Black smoke from the blaze could be seen billowing into the sky from kilometres away.

From the scene Thursday, Surrey battalion Chief Richard Ellis confirmed that three horses died in the fire. The fate of two dogs and three cats that also call the property home remained unclear as of Thursday morning, although one witness said the dogs and one cat also did not make it out.

Mental health should be addressed earlier, trustees hear Topic of mental wellness not formally discussed until Grade 10, which is too late say students MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Suicide and student mental wellness were topics of discussion at the last Langley board of education meeting, Dec. 8.

In September, the board asked the district to provide a report on what work is being done and what supports are in place for the growing number of students with mental health issues.

In fact, it is one of the largest issues facing students today, said the report.

Langley assistant superintendent Claire Guy along with Support Services’ Renge Bailie

presented a power point to the board about mental wellness initiatives in schools, but emphasized it is both a complex issue and a work in progress.

When students were asked what they thought, they all agreed that Planning 10 class is too late to be talking about mental wellness because mental health issues are showing up in the primary years.

Over the past few years, schools have seen a sharp increase in the number of children with anxiety. Learning how to self-regulate emotions is as important now as numeracy, the

Thieves resold stolen food bank gift cards Save-On-Foods stores replace cards stolen from the Sources Langley Food Bank

report indicated.

Often mental health issues will come out in the classroom, including bad behaviour, which results in other students judging and labeling those students, said Bailie.

For progress to be made it must involve everyone, they said.

Educators must work to reduce the stigma attached to mental health, students must be taught to be resilient, and support services must be in place when they’re needed.

“The school district can’t solve everyone’s mental wellness challenges,” said Guy. “Counsellors can help in the short term but they are not meant to be a student’s personal therapist.”

A workshop about eating disorders was well attended by

teachers and several mental health first aid certificates were completed by teachers, support staff and administration. Another first aid class is being offered in the new year.

Recognizing that Langley has dealt with several students taking their own lives this year, trustees wanted to know what the district is doing.

“We are very proud to have strong protocol around suicidal ideation, that other districts look to us for help.

“Teachers know that it may come out in their writing or in their behaviour,” said Bailie.

“Teachers know what to say and how students help.”

But trustee Rosemary Wallace believes there are still faults in the system.

“We are still losing kids to suicide. There are still holes in support,” she said.

Trustee Alison McVeigh felt hopeful that these are good first steps.

“We weren’t even talking about this at board meetings two years ago, so we have already come far. We have a lot of work to do but we can’t own this entirely,” McVeigh said.

Bailie said a long-term goal is to have a hub within Langley where youth dealing with mental health issues have a place to go to feel safe to gather and where supports are available.

A new mental health survey is being conducted with Grade 4 to 7 students that will provide an even clearer picture around the issues.

Registered Hearing Instrument Practitioner Kris Goos (right) with Paul Kenick.

“ I knew I needed to act on my hearing loss when boardroom meetings became difficult.I received my first pair of hearing aids in my mid 40s. I have been wearing hearing aids for the past 20 years. I find the new technology makes it a lot easier to adapt and control my environment. I love the service I receive from Jen and Kris at Crystal Hearing. It is worth the 45 min. drive I make from Coquitlam to receive their excellent service. I would recommend them to anyone.

Whoever stole $1,000 worth of gift cards from the Sources Langley Food Bank sold one worth $500 to a unwary shopper who discovered the card had been cancelled when they tried to use it.

“They (the shopper) bought it from someone on the street,” said food bank manager Bruce Strom.

The cards were quickly cancelled after the Dec. 10 theft was discovered, but not fast enough to prevent someone from using about $200 worth, Strom said.

About $100 had been legitimately used by food bank volunteers to buy perishable goods for the once-a-week distribution at the former United Church on 200 Street.

After being advised of the theft, Save-On-Foods cancelled the cards, then issued $1,200 in replacements, Strom said.

BRUCE The Dec. 10 theft of the ST ROM cards marked the start of a difficult 72 hours for the food bank.

On Friday, Dec. 11, the big panel van the food bank uses to collect donations and pick up purchases was stolen.

On Saturday, Dec. 12, someone used the gas card for the van to buy more than $1,300 worth of diesel gas from a Clearbrook gas station.

The van was found abandoned and damaged beyond repair in Aldergrove later that same morning.

It all happened shortly after the food bank discovered that its only other vehicle, a smaller van, needed about $5,000 in repairs and would have to be scrapped.

When the news broke, the response from the community was immediate.

A group of businesses, led by Langley real estate developer Newmark Group, along with Canadian Truck and Car Rental in Langley, Mr. Lube in Langley and Dawn Construction in Surrey, purchased a one-ton cube van.

The smaller truck has been replaced by the Greater Vancouver Food Bank (GVFB).

And more than $20,000 was donated along with several other (loaned) service vehicles.

If you live in Aldergrove and heard a loud boom on New Year’s Day, it wasn’t just your head pounding from too much partying the night before.

“It was determined that the blasting caps were stolen during a B&E on Christmas Day at an Aldergrove business,” said Largy.

The caps were very old and being used to blow up large tree stumps.

Traffic stop uncovers large volume of mail stolen from Langley boxes Abbotsford couple arrested after being stopped by Port Mann police A traffic stop by the Port Mann police in Coquitlam has turned up hundreds of pieces of mail stolen from Langley mailboxes.

On Dec. 17, just after 3 a.m., a Port Mann Traffic Services member stopped a pickup truck with Saskatchewan licence plates for a traffic offence in Coquitlam.

During the traffic stop, the officer observed what appeared to be stolen mail in the back seat of the vehicle.

A man and woman, both from Abbotsford, were

arrested for possession of stolen property obtained by crime. During the investigation, more than 200 pieces of stolen mail from Langley were recovered.

Officers also learned the 39-year-old male suspect had also committed several thefts from vehicles in the Pitt Meadows area.

Port Mann Traffic Services is now working with Ridge Meadows and Langley RCMP to further the investigation and charges will be recommended to Crown counsel for review.

Rollover crash injures two MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

A rollover crash sent two to hospital and closed Fraser Highway at 240 Street for a few hours on Sunday.

Around 1:30 p.m., a Toyota camper van, driven by a 23-yearold Langley man, was travelling west along Fraser Highway when police say he drove through a red light.

An SUV, driven by a 53-year-old Langley man, was travelling south on 240 Street through the green light, T-boning the offending vehicle in the intersection.

The force of the crash caused the camper van to roll and all the contents inside were strewn all over the road.

Both the driver and his 23-year-old female passenger involved in the rollover were taken to hospital with unknown injuries.

The driver who ran the red light was given a ticket, said Langley RCMP.

Renowned Langley horseman David Esworthy passes away D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Langley resident David Esworthy will be remembered as a “true horseman” who had a passion for equestrian sports.

Esworthy, who passed away on Dec. 19 at the age of 86, served in virtually every role possible in his sport: as a rider, judge, steward, horse show organizer, horse show chair, and industry advisor.

When Esworthy was named Langley Senior of the year in 2012, a Times profile described how he got his start working with horses as teenager.

Living in Vancouver, he would spend his summers wrangling horses at the Rainbow Lodge — which is now Whistler Village — for his aunt, who owned the lodge.

After taking a break from horses, he returned to the sport as a way to spend time with his wife Patricia, and their son, Phil.

“As a family, we started looking for recreation,” Esworthy explained.

“We asked ‘what do we all enjoy the most,’ and that was horses, so we joined a riding club.”

It was at Northridge Riding Club in North Vancouver, where Esworthy soon became the club’s instructor and buyer.

When the club folded, he moved, along with many members, to Southlands, serving as president from 1969-72.

“I have one distinct failing in life,” Esworthy once observed. “I usually speak up and then I usually end up president.”

From 1968-77 Esworthy served as chair of the BC zone of the National Equestrian Federation of Canada, while also serving as vice-president of the national body.

At the same time, he served as a direc-

DAV I D E S W O RT H Y tor on the Canadian Horse Council and found himself at the centre of the greatest restructuring in Canadian equestrian history when the two organizations combined.

Esworthy emerged as president of the newly-formed Canadian Equestrian Federation (now Equine Canada), serving in that capacity until 1984 and as chairman from 198491.

He wrote the new organization’s constitution and bylaws, which included clauses for the formation of stronger provincial organizations that led to the creation of Horse Council BC. “We have lost one of our greatest champions,” said Equine Canada president, Al Patterson.

“He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.”

Esworthy became one of only two Canadian Federation Equestrian Internationale (FEI) stewards to hold tickets in all three Olympic disciplines.

He also taught judging clinics and exams around the world and assisted in the preparations for equestrian events at both the 1976 and 1984 Olympic Games.

Esworthy was named the 2012 Jump Canada Official of the Year for his outstanding contribution and dedication to equestrian sport.

The same year, he was inducted into the

BC Sports Hall of Fame.

“Dave is one of those humble people who works quietly behind the scenes,” nominator Carla Robin said at the time.

In addition to his help in making Langley the Horse Capital of B.C., Esworthy’s volunteer exploits include working with, or having worked with, the Vancouver Board of Trade, World Trade Committee, B.C. Fire

Chiefs Association, B.C. Transplant Society, Vancouver Hospital and Health Sciences Centre, and the Justice Institute of B.C. Foundation.

He said volunteering gave him an enormous sense of satisfaction.

“I like to get things done and if they don’t get done, I tend to stick my nose into it,” he said.

Esworthy worked for 40 years at Hastings

Brass Foundry, including the last four as president and CEO before retiring in 1994.

He is survived by his son Philip David Esworthy, and his granddaughter, Patricia.

He was predeceased by his wife of 64 years, Patricia.

OPINION

Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com

Mental health on the radar The beginning of a brand new year is the perfect time to refocus our energy and set goals for the coming 12 months.

But whether it’s to quit smoking or lose weight, New Year’s resolutions tend, for obvious reasons, to focus on the aspects of our well being over which we have the most control — the physical.

Mental health is a little bit trickier. Like any disease, it often requires outside help to diagnose and treat. But unlike a broken arm or an open wound, there’s no straightforward way to fix a mind that is in pain. That makes it no less critical.

So it’s good to hear that the mental health of Langley’s young people is on the radar for trustees of the Langley School district.

Board trustees started the conversation about students’ mental health and wellness at their most recent meeting in early December — acknowledging it is a serious issue and one with symptoms that begin to manifest early.

As trustee Alison McVeigh noted, it’s a subject the board wasn’t discussing even two years ago.

School is of course the place where teenagers spend the largest chunk of their time surrounded by peers, giving teachers and other school staff the opportunity to observe how they behave and interact and to detect any telling changes in an individual over a period of time.

While it’s right to say the district has a role in identifying young people who are struggling with mental health issues — anxiety and depression chief among them — it is not up to schools to single handedly address the problem.

“The school district can’t solve everyone’s mental wellness challenges,” said assistant superintendent Claire Guy “Counsellors can help in the short term but they are not meant to be a student’s personal therapist.”

Educators must work to reduce the stigma attached to mental health and support services must be in place when they’re needed.

That’s where the province comes in.

Parents across B.C. have been calling on regional health authorities to do more for youth struggling with suicidal thoughts and mental health issues, including psychotic episodes.

A shortage of beds for youths in need of psychiatric treatment had an Abbotsford mother pleading with the Fraser Health Authority at a Langley conference last September to do more for her troubled daughter.

“It’s great there are seven beds in Surrey, but what about Abbotsford, what about Langley and all the other communities?” she asked .

Good question. Perhaps 2016 will provide a few more answers.

both fascinating and terrifying. While there are so many benefits to the internet, making us a much more global community, reaching out and spreading awareness — there are just as many downsides. We are only just scratching the surface of what our kids’ attachments to their screens mean for them.

In a recent interview with Langley school district assistant superintendent Gord Stewart, he worried out loud about kids ‘having ‘no downtime’ from their screens and what that is doing to their well being.

One study, indicates that gaming releases the pleasure chemical dopamine, making the experience similar to substance abuse. Years of gaming can change the reward circuitry in a child’s brain.

Even regular screen time is associated with changes in the brain involving emotional processing, attention and mood.

Because it isn’t his natural instinct, I make a concerted effort to get my son outside and in nature as much as possible.

But when the day comes — as it inevitably will — that I lose his attention to the draw of a shiny screen I will remind him, all things in moderation.

Or at least that’s the goal.

Canopy won’t cut it

L an gley Cen ten n ial Museum arch ives

A historic photo shows construction work on Old Yale Road. Originally constructed in the late 19th century, the road was topped with concrete in 1923. The section of road which runs west from Five Corners in Murrayville is the last portion to retain the original concrete surface. Langley resident Cleve Stordy would like to see this historic section of Old Yale Road closed to traffic and re-purposed as a recreational corridor for walkers and cyclists, rather than have it upgraded as the Township proposes to do.

Editor: Welcome to the latest episode in the proposed Aldergrove “open air” swimming pool fiasco.

We are told: “Sorry, we cannot afford an indoor pool as promised, but we will give you an outdoor pool instead and put a canopy over it.” Brilliant.

Last week I went for my regular swim at W.C. Blair pool. After my swim I stood and looked at all the activity taking place there. Avid swimmers were doing laps in the fast lane, while novice swimmers were walking or swimming in the slower lanes. A class of more than 30 people was doing a water aerobics class.

The instructor was leading them through the routines from the poolside. I also saw the mums and dads playing and splashing around with their young children.

The large jacuzzi and diving areas were popular, as always.

I estimated about 100 people were using the pool. If you multiply that by the number of hours and days the pool is in operation, a lot of members of the community are using this facility on a regular basis.

What would this look like if the walls around the pool were removed? How many people would still be there enjoying it between September and May? Very few, if any.

A canopy over the pool will not keep anyone warm in winter.

To add insult to injury, a canopy would keep the sun out during the summer, eliminating the enjoyment of an open air pool. Talk about a double whammy.

Would it not make sense for the $1,574,000 dedicated for the canopy to be put into a trust fund? It could be held there until the job can be done properly. You might also attract fundraising efforts, if there was a specific goal identified for the project.

So, I say to the Township of Langley council, “Give us an indoor pool that can be used all year round as promised.” It is badly needed. Otherwise, just forget about the project until such time as the job can be done correctly.

An outdoor pool with a canopy will not work.

BERNIE AND SUE MAJOR,

Close historic section of Old Yale Road to through traffic Attitude toward guns Editor: We do not need another (effectively) collector road to get where we are going — 48 Avenue and 216 Street are sufficient and by no means over-utilized.

Making improvements to Old Yale that encourage increased vehicular traffic flow is both redundant and detracts from the spirit of the area’s historical designation.

If the road is rebuilt as an improved thoroughfare, we will certainly witness substantial increase in commuter traffic utilizing it.

This will conflict with the substantial and growing use of the corridor by both pedestrian and bicycle traffic, detracting not only from an ‘enjoyment of use’ standpoint but also a safe-

ty standpoint as well.

Speed will be an issue; the perfect ‘rally road’ — long straightaway areas and a few exciting S-turns.

Without lighting and an ability to widen sufficiently, the increasing cyclist and pedestrian traffic along it will be put at risk.

It is awesome that eventually via the planned recreational corridor extension from the arboretum that there will be almost seamless connection to the City wetlands trail system through to LSS and the sports park.

To prioritize this in the planning would be smart.

These are the sorts of legacy decisions that make communities world class.

Or not.

It was a visionary decision by TOL to officially designate Old Yale east from Fraser Highway and the central 5 Corners area as a historical conservation area.

This should be built upon, not diminished.

Preserving these legacies will consequentially enhance community values by encouraging pedestrian and bicycle traffic and retaining a semblance of ‘Where City and Country Meet.’

The emphasis on this project should be to strengthen and preserve this for the future.

I strongly support an option that closes the road to through traffic and emphasizes a contiguous recreational corridor.

CLEVE STORDY, LANGLEY

ALDERGROVE

is the real problem

Editor: I think Paul M. Bowman has used US and Canadian homicide per gun statistics all wrong (The Times, Dec. 23). As he correctly states the many fewer guns in Canada do in fact kill more people per gun than the hoards of guns in the US. In the US there are more guns than people. The real issue is not the number of homicides per gun, but rather the number of homicides per person.

It is not really the number of guns in the US that is the problem, it is the American attitude toward the use of guns. Their overall attitude towards guns is to use them to kill people. Our Canadian attitude is that a gun is for sport

or for hunting.

Using Mr Bowman’s statics, as one of 36 million Canadians I have one chance in 272,898 of being killed by a gun.

My cousin in the US being one of 326 million Americans has a one in 40,173 chance of being killed by a gun. That means in the US you are almost seven times more likely to be killed by a gun than you are in Canada.

It is not guns that are the problem it is people and the attitude of people toward guns and their use. The real truth is the American attitude toward guns is the problem.

BC Assessment sends out early notifications to homeowners JE F F NA G E L B lack Pre s s

An unusually high number of Metro Vancouver homeowners are being warned they will get a sharply higher property assessment this month that may trigger an unwelcome property tax increase.

BC Assessment says it has sent out 37,000 early notification letters across B.C., with almost twothirds of them going to Metro Vancouver home owners. That’s significantly more than most years.

“Early notification letters are mailed to property owners who can expect an increase of at least 15 per cent above the average JASON GRANT increase in their local taxing jurisdiction,” said assessor Jason Grant.

“We want to ensure impacted property owners are aware of the significant increases and we welcome them to contact us if they have any questions or concerns.”

Increases of 15 to 25 per cent will be typical for single-family detached houses in Vancouver, the North Shore, Burnaby, Tri Cities, New Westminster, Richmond and Surrey, Grant said.

He said typical strata residential increases will be in the five to 10 per cent range.

Homeowners in the City of Langley may see their assessments rise anywhere from 10 per cent to 14 percent, while average detached houses across the Township are expected to increase between 11 per cent and 12 per cent in assessed value.

The final assessments that go out in early January reflect the market value as of July 1.

We want to ensure impacted property owners are aware of the significant increases.

More bridge tolls flow to TransLink

Use of Golden Ears Bridge up in 2015 JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

More drivers were willing to pay to use the Golden Ears Bridge in 2015.

TransLink reported a more than 15 per cent increase in bridge tolls collected there for the first nine months of the year.

The transportation authority is now forecasting it will collect $48.7 million in Golden Ears tolls for all of 2015, up nearly $5.2 million from what it budgeted, and it anticipates further growth of 4.1 per cent in 2016.

The toll was increased in July to $3.10 per crossing for users with the TReO decal ($4.35 for unregistered users) and a similar increase for inflation is expected in 2016.

Meanwhile, the tolling equipment at the Golden Ears is slated for replacement at a cost of $5 million in 2016 even though the bridge is only six and a half years old. TransLink’s capital budget cites “obsolescence and end of service life� for the need to replace the roadside technology and back office systems.

More drivers used the Golden Ears Bridge to cross the Fraser River in 2015. Vehicle traffic on the toll bridge connecting Langley and Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows increased 15 per cent during the first nine months of the year, according to a release from TransLink.

Growth in traffic over the bridge in part reflects an increase in driving in general within Metro Vancouver as well as a rise in vehicles purchased, according to TransLink.

That also helped boost TransLink’s take from its 17-cent-a-litre gas tax — that was up about $8 million or 3.1 per cent in the first nine months of the year.

TransLink has benefitted from lower fuel and power costs and it projects fuel savings will increase in 2016 due to lower die-

sel prices and increased use of natural gas buses.

TransLink also plans to spend $900,000 in 2016 to study mobility pricing.

The technical research could lead to an assessment of options such as charging tolls at more crossings or per kilometre road use fees.

The province has indicated some form of bridge tolling reform will be necessary if both the Massey Tunnel and Pattullo Bridge replacements end up tolled.

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.

Valley Direct Furniture is a family run operation with its main store in Langley and an outlet store in Surrey. Our warehouse and stores are ‘chock-full’ of products with lots of new products on route.

Whether you’ve just moved into a new home or you’ve been living in the same place and your home just needs a pick-me-up, you can resolve to freshen up your home design with minimal cost or effort.

Think about the ambiance you want to feel when entering your home, eg bohemian, clean, fancy, comfortable, welcoming, like a sanctuary, lively, organized or eclectic. After you’ve made that decision, think about the things you need to do to achieve that feeling.

It might be a new dining table, or a large print above the fireplace. A new coffee table or sectional for the media room. Brighten up the master bedroom with some matching lamps.

Add a pop of color or excitement with a new area rug for the family room. Need some in-

spiration? Come visit us first. We devote a lot of our time sourcing out the newest, best and brightest designers and manufacturers to make your home unique and truly exciting.

The “reclaimed and rustic” look is very popular at the moment. The majority of our furniture is made to order. You can choose your fabric, your style. Custom sectionals are in strong demand. You’ll discover having something built that fits your room is worth the wait. We also have ready-made upholstery available to take home.

Pull out the tape measure and take measurements of your room, along with doorways and entrances, to get an idea of the space you’re working with. Before you buy it, get a feel for what a furniture piece will feel like in your living space by measuring it and putting tape down on your floor using the dimensions of the piece. This will help ensure you leave room for movement in your living space. Go for quality, not quantity!

This season we have delivered a lot of custom dining room tables. Here you have lots of decisions to make: round, square or rectangle? Leg style or pedestal? Flexible with leaves or fixed tops? Buffets and hutches are

out with the old, in with the new still available, however, today we normally do just the buffet with perhaps a print above instead of the hutch. Art is something we have a lot of at Valley. We carry some very large pieces and it will give you a much newer look.

The last six months we have been developing some new lines that will be arriving shortly.

One of our new launches is a reclaimed solid wood line that has a real rustic look and clean finish. We’ll be offering multiple size tables, along with occasional coffee tables, buffets, consoles, end tables, tv stands.

This spring, look for a beautiful grey wash distressed finish on many items, which is family friendly and perfect for every day use. Because our products are solid wood, down the road refinishing is a practical option, so you can continue to love the well built bones of your furniture, and give it a beautiful makeover to make it look like something brand new to you.

We’re also looking forward to some sharp new leather upholstery arriving in February, along with a wood and concrete mix table that you’ll find in occasional, ends, consoles, round and rectangular dining options.

We believe that furniture is fashion, so con-

stantly new differing colors, textures and looks are always changing. At the moment our accessories are flying out the door! We carry a big selection of vintage —so popular right now— to add that pop of fun to any room.

Wooden beds are selling in greys, whites and different wood stains, however fully upholstered complete beds are also popular and selling well.

The New Year is a chance for a fresh start.

Transform your home with fresh, new furniture pieces. Is there a sag in your favorite recliner, an archaic coffee table in the center of the living room, or a big lump in the center of your mattress? Outdated or worn out furniture can be unpleasant to look at and even worse, can make you uncomfortable when you use it. Use this New Year as a springboard to pick out some new, quality furniture that will last you for years to come. So, whether it is a new sofa, or a new set of bar stools for your kitchen, or a hostess gift or a complete home makeover, Valley Direct has lots of options.

We are passionate about what we do.

The M The Mirror irror TTest est A Langley man’s transformational experience at a binge-eating disorder camp inspires the script for his first play MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

When Kevin Kokoska was sent to facilitate a binge-eating disorder camp in California, he thought he would be changing lives.

Little did he know, he was the one to go through the greatest transformation.

Working at the camp during a practicum for his counselling psychology masters at UBC, Kokoksa says he was taken aback by how challenging it was for him — a healthy, young Canadian — to connect with some rather unhealthy American youth.

“It was harder than I had anticipated to find a way to connect with these people,” said Kokoska, a DW Poppy grad, Kwantlen Polytechnic University basketball alumni and former youth worker on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. “(I was) trying things I had learned in school, and some (were) working out better than others. How do you build that bond while staying true to yourself in this setting? How do you be yourself within the parameters … how do I bring myself to work in the way the camp wants it done, which may not be congruent with my way?”

It was a journey of selfawareness, and one that Kokoska is now sharing through one of his favourite forms of communication — theatre.

The Mirror Test — aptly named for its themes of self-recognition — runs Jan. 14-16 at the Cultch in Vancouver.

Starring Kokoska as himself and the personalities of several

attendees at the camp, he commands the stage alone for the full 75 minute production.

“There’s various characters in the play, but primarily it’s a relationship with me, or a version of me, and one other male camper that is a fictionalized person (and) a combination of different themes to create a character that mirrors off of me,” Kokoska explained.

“I’ve been taught this thing, which is how to do psycho therapy or the very basic version of that. Even in that sense, that’s a character. That’s the Kevin who’s learning how to be a therapist … that’s different from the real Kevin.

“There’s always different versions of self, so I had this new version of self that’s therapist Kevin. Let’s bring him down to California to see if he can connect with these young people. But when that doesn’t go well, then what do you do? At some point you’ve got to bring the real Kevin into the mix, and how does that go and how does that mix?

“It’s my struggles trying to figure that out. Finding how to get that connection, when I have very little experience doing it in a therapeutic way.”

Although this is the first time Kokoska has created his own theatre production, it is not his first introduction to acting. He fell in love with the art while completing a writing course, prior to his masters.

“What I found was that the most exciting part about the writing program was when we would go to cafes and read the work out loud,” Kokoska said.

“There was something about reading out loud that I enjoyed more than writing it and passing it on to someone else just to read off the paper.

“I had no experience or training in theatre, but things kind of came together for me when I returned to do my masters at UBC. Studying to be a counsellor requires a lot of acting and role play. Before we would actually see clients ourselves, we would be each other’s clients and I would take something going on in my life and I would ramp it up for the benefit of them having someone to practice on.

“And then I thought, ‘I like this so much. I’m supposed to be learning how to be a counsellor, but I’m enjoying pretending to be a client just as much. So I better do something about this.’”

He started taking theatre classes at UBC and other acting

Su bmitte d pho to

Langley-born counsellor-turned-playwright Kevin Kokoska stars in his first ever production at the Cultch in Vancouver Jan. 14-16. schools in Vancouver. And although his masters is now complete, Kokoska still considers The Mirror Test as the thesis of his work.

“The connection of having your friends and family and other audience members there — that’s a thrill to me, having that human connection that I think you don’t get with just the writing.”

To build on this, Kokoska is also working on a new teaching program to bring therapy into acting.

Partnering with an acting coach, the sessions will show actors how to safely access personal emotions for scenes.

WHAT’S ON at the LEC

“It’s very common for an actor to get into character and enter through emotion,” Kokoska said.

“It seems like actors are just triggering themselves for a living.

If some of those scary emotions haven’t been processed or are really new, that can bleed into your personal life if you’re not careful. (It’s about) being able to separate it and being able to be more self-aware of where these emotions are coming from.

“I think it’s healthy for the work (and) I think it’s very healthy for the individual.”

Thirty-four female hockey teams from around the Lower Mainland hit the ice at Sportsplex last week for the annual Langley Girls Ice Hockey Association Angels on Ice Tournament. Included in the mix was the Langley Lightning (black jerseys) novice C1 team who battled the Tri Cities Predators C2 squad on Dec. 29. Clockwise from above: Langley’s Talia Caps bats at the puck; Asha Bal tries to get a step on her Predators opponent; and Makenna Mussato escapes the zone against a pair of Tri Cities defenders.

Four picked for all-star game Langley quartet chosen for PJHL game in Mission Four Langley junior B hockey players are set to skate in next week’s Pacific Junior Hockey League all-star game.

Langley Knights defenceman Brendan Campbell, Abbotsford Pilots defenceman Kellan Lavalee and Aldergrove Kodiaks forward Eric Callegari will suit up for the the Harold Brittain Con-

ference all-star squad.

And making the roster for the Tom Shaw Conference is Delta Ice Hawks forward Michael Rand.

Rand leads his team in both goals (14) and points (38) while Callegari is tops among all Kodiaks players in goals with 19 and is tied for second in points with 32.

Lavallee has two goals and 13 points on the season while Campbell has four goals and six points.

The two teams hit the ice on Monday night (Jan. 11) at the Mission Leisure Centre.

••• The Knights host the Port Moody Panthers tomorrow (Thursday) at the George Preston Recreation Centre.

Langley is coming off a pair of losses, 5-1 to Aldergrove on Jan. 2 and 4-1 to the Richmond Sockeyes on Jan. 3.

The games were both held at Richmond’s Minoru Arena as part of the PJHL’s Winter Classic weekend.

Jacob De Waal and Jeevan Dosange had the Langley goals as the Knights fell to 4-27-0-2 on the season.

Rivermen hammer Spruce Kings After ending 2015 with a narrow loss, the Langley Rivermen broke out in the new year with a seven-goal explosion as they hammered the Prince George Spruce Kings.

Seven different Langley players — Jason O’Neill, Will Campion, Matty Saharchuk, Ryan Barrow, Max Kaufman, Troy Ring and Justin Schneider — found the back of the net in the victory while Matthew

MATTHE W G RA HA M

Graham set up a pair of goals.

The score was 2-1 for Langley after 20 minutes but the Rivermen blew things open with a five-goal third period, including goals from Kaufman and Ring 21 seconds apart.

Bo Didur stopped 19 of the 20 shots he faced.

In the 2-1 loss to the Chiefs last week (Dec. 30) at Chilliwack’s Prospera Arena, Justin

Fregona had the lone Rivermen goal.

Langley improved to 22-14-0-0 and 45 points. The Rivermen are back in Chilliwack tonight (Wednesday) for a rematch with the Mainland Division-leading Chiefs (24-8-4-0, 53 points).

Langley also has a pair of games on Vancouver Island this weekend against Cowichan Valley (Jan. 9) and Victoria (Jan. 10).

Langley Lightning C1’s Keira Brawdy advances on Surrey Falcons’ Rebecca Lim during midget action at the Langley Girls Ice Hockey Association annual Angels on Ice tournament last week at Sportsplex.

Silver linings for Lightning A pair of Langley hockey clubs earned silver medals on home ice.

The teams were among those competing in various age groups at the annual Langley Girls Ice Hockey Association Angles on Ice Tournament, which was held Dec. 27 to 30 at Sportsplex.

Thirty-four teams, with players as young as five, from across the Lower Mainland, Whitehorse, Seattle and Vancouver Island hit the ice for the four days of action.

The Lightning squad came second in the atom C1 division, falling to the

Abbotsford Ice in the championship final.

And another Langley team was runner-up in the peewee division, losing to the Tri-City Predators in the finals.

The other championship finals were: Surrey Falcons defeating the South Delta Thunderstorm in atom C2; the Cowichan Valley Capitals beat the Richmond Ravens in the bantam final; and the Abbotsford Ice topped the Meadow Ridge Barracudas in the midget final.

DRIEDIGER John March 28, 1946 ~ January 2, 2016 John Driediger passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus after a long illness with cancer on January 2, 2016. He is survived by loving wife, Linda, son: Chad, daughters: Carrie-Ann Rast (Randy) and Lisa Driediger, grandchildren: Jordan Rast, Natalie Rast, Paige Waddell and Gabrielle Waddell and great-grandson, Leo Rast as well as sisters, Helena Friesen and Anne Epp (Ron) and brothers, Diet (Nettie) and Dave (Bonnie) plus other in-laws, nieces, nephews and relatives. He was predeceased by brothers: Abe and Jake and sisters: Kathy, Betty and Judy. John was born on March 28, 1946 to Abraham and Elizabeth (nee Froese) Driediger in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He always said that at the age of eight months he had the good sense to move his family to BC where they built a home at 5115 Brown Road, Langley. He attended Aldergrove Secondary School where he met his one true love, Linda Ollinger. They were married June 26, 1965. John lived his life in light of eternity taking steps of faith each day. In 1979 John and Linda sold their family business, Driediger’s Meats, to join staff with Power to Change (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ). John was a man of faith, wisdom, love, compassion, quick wit and strong convictions. What gave his life meaning and purpose was his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He walked with God and had a passion to share that walk with others. He loved the participants in Addiction Recovery Ministry and they loved him back as he helped them win their struggle with addiction. He always had to say, “One more thing!” or “I have an idea.” Whatever he put his mind and heart to he excelled at. John was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He loved his family, his ministry, his many friends, his dog Jake, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Dallas Cowboys, riding horses, playing golf. He will be dearly missed.

Special thanks to the staff at Christine Morrison Hospice for their special care of John. Viewing will be held on Friday, January 8, 2016 from 7:00 - 9:00 pm at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford. Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, January 9, 2016 at 11:00 am at Sevenoaks Alliance Church, 2575 Gladwin Road, Abbotsford. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Addiction Recovery Ministry (cheques made out to ARM (CC#138855).

PHILIP Evelyn Margaret (nee: Curran) October 5, 1924 - December 10, 2015 Born, raised, and educated in Saskatoon, Evelyn taught home economics across the country at extension, high school, college, and university levels, including at MacDonald Institute at Guelph University, where she met her husband, Hugh. While raising their family in Sardis, our mom worked for Chilliwack Community Services and our dad practiced veterinary medicine. They retired to their Aldergrove acreage, frequently traveled, and enjoyed visits with their grandchildren.

Always active, our mom contributed many hours of service to both minor hockey and Pony Club and later knitted tirelessly for hospital gift shops. She was a skillful and innovative English smocker who taught all over North America.

Our talented and resourceful mom was much loved and will be greatly missed by those who survive her: her husband (Hugh); children Wendy (Mark), Neil, and Brenda (Joakim); grandchildren Lliam and Kaley (Travis); and many nieces, nephews, and friends. She was predeceased by her parents and siblings (Elspeth and Alexander). The many stories recently shared with us, demonstrate that Mom’s handmade items continue to be enjoyed and valued by many in and beyond our family.

In the past few years our mom received wonderful care from the loving staff at Harrison Landing, Langley Gardens (Empress), and at Simpson Manor, where she quietly passed away.

At Evelyn’s request, there will be no service. Donations to the Alzheimer Society of BC or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
