DEVELOPMENT

Brookswood plan gets off the ground The two portions of Brookswood have different futures.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Al French is fine with a new OCP for Brookswood and Fernridge, but like many residents he’s worried about it being done right.

French moved to his lot in what is now designated a development area in the neighbourhood in 1987.

“We were concerned about the densities that were proposed then,” French said.

But little development took place for years.

Now the Township is looking to re-start a new OCP process, and has essentially divided Brookswood-Fernridge into two zones.

Existing suburban areas of Brookswood will be left largely alone, while the more rural areas including acreages will be the subject of much of the new planning process approved Monday afternoon.

Two weeks ago, Township council was talking about splitting Brookswood-Fernridge into two halves and only creating an OCP for the Fernridge portion.

The new vote doesn’t officially sever the two communities, but it will focus development mostly in those areas loosely

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Al French is one of a number of Brookswood residents who is raising concerns. The dark line on a Township map (inset) shows the areas that could experience more development. known as Fernridge.

The council gave an approval to a map which divided the area into relatively dense suburban areas and the less dense acreages and rural areas.

The developable areas begin at 36th Avenue between 208th Street and 200th Street, and around 33A Avenue between 200th Street and 196th Street.

East of 208th Street, an arm of the developable area reaches north past 40th Avenue, almost to the boundary between Langley Township and the City.

The last attempt to create

a new BrookswoodFernridge OCP two years ago ended in failure, with significant opposition from local residents worried about density and massive population growth.

Locals also worried about the loss of trees and increased traffic on major routes, crowded schools, and transit issues.

Landowners within parts of the Fernridge area had pushed

for, and in large part funded, the project to create a new OCP for the area.

Environmental impacts are what bother French, who has a small artificial lake in his back yard. It’s a kind of barometer for the area’s local shallow aquifer. French believes a plan to protect the water, on which homeowners and farmers depend, should be developed first.

Many residents during the 2014 debate over the first OCP suggested they did want a new plan, to update the 1980s-era documents that govern local development.

The new planning process will cost an estimated $150,000 and take a year to 18 months to complete.

The Township is promising community dialogue including workshops and open houses.

The Township has been working on a new public engagement process to use during the planning.

Taxes raised to cover Mounties, roads, and litter Property taxes will go up again this year in the Township.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Township council approved a 3.93 per cent property tax increase for 2016, up slightly from last year’s 3.69 per cent tax increase.

Along with increases to the water, sewer, and solid waste fees, it means approximate-

ly $63 a year in extra taxes for a typical Township household.

The budget passed on a six to three vote, with Councillors Petrina Arnason, Kim Richter, and Michelle Sparrow opposed.

Included in the budget are funds of $320,000 for two new RCMP officers – one to patrol the Willoughby area and an extra school liaison officer – and $537,500 for the road paving program.

Another $537,500 will be put toward a capital infrastructure replacement reserve program.

There is also $100,000 set aside for an anti-litter strategy that aims to reduce illegal dumping, and $145,000 to cover the increasing costs of maintaining the Township’s vehicles and public works equipment.

With the two new Mounties, Langley Township will have hired five new RCMP officers in the last two years.

Langley City was also contemplating hiring new RCMP officers this year. City and Township officers work out of the same detachment.

Police gathered evidence at the scene after Kevin LeClair was murdered in the parking lot of the Walnut Grove IGA on Feb. 6, 2009. driving a car belonging to a suspected gang member when he was shot to death.

The two men arrested recently are among four men now charged who are linked in some way to the death of LeClair.

In 2014, Cory Vallee was arrested in Mexico and deported back to Canada.

Also charged is Conor D’Monte, at the time of the

Two more men have been charged in relation to the 2009 murder of Kevin LeClair outside a Walnut Grove grocery store.

On Monday, members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) announced the arrests and charges.

The two men, 32-year-old Troy Tran of Vancouver, and another whom police are not identifying publicly, are both charged with conspiracy to commit murder of the Bacon Brothers and their associates.

Investigators linked the charges to the death of LeClair, who was gunned down in the parking lot in front of the IGA on Feb. 6, 2009.

Police also linked the arrests to the death of Jonathan Barber.

Barber was killed in Burnaby and was thought to be an innocent victim of the gang war.

A B.C. Supreme Court Judge has ordered a Langley man to stop smoking in his condo unit in a legal dispute over no-smoking rules.

Justice Wendy Harris ordered 70-year-old Paul Aradi, a resident of a Langley condo since 2002, to butt out when inside his home.

Residents of the condo, which instituted a no-smoking rule in 2009, began complaining about Aradi’s smoking in 2013.

According to the judgment posted online this week, Aradi’s neighbours had complained numerous times about smoke drifting into their units, sometimes from open windows. Aradi said he has mobility issues and can’t easily

leave his apartment.

The long-running dispute between Aradi and the condo’s strata council ran until 2015, when the strata took him to court.

Although both sides produced witnesses, on the health effects of second hand smoke from the strata, or on air quality in the building for Aradi, Harris didn’t find either of them credible enough to consider.

She found that Aradi had violated the bylaws, and ordered him to stop smoking.

There was a lack of evidence around Aradi’s mobility.

The strata noted that he has even been filmed for a TV interview smoking out on the sidewalk away from the building.

A Human Rights Tribunal hearing will be held in July, which could overturn the ruling and allow Aradi to smoke in his unit. But until then, the judge ruled Aradi will have to quit while inside. > More at langleyadvance.com

A reported shooting incident in Aldergrove early on Jan. 21 turned out to be something else, but police are still trying to determine what happened.

The first call to the RCMP came in at about 4 a.m. Thursday morning, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley detachment.

A man in a residence near the 27100 block of Fraser Highway said he had been shot.

It is uncertain where or when the incident happened, Largy said.

Officers found a 43-year-old man, of no fixed address, with a wound to the shoulder.

He was taken to hospital and his injury is not life threatening.

Largy said police were led to believe the “shooter” might still be in the area. They called in the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team (ERT) to ensure public safety.

While the ERT were still en route, hospital staff told police that whatever had injured the man, it wasn’t a gun. He had not been shot. The ERT were sent back and investigators are now looking for witnesses.

“We believe there was an altercation of some sort,” Largy said.

But what happened, where, and when are still unknown. The victim is not facing charges, but is known to police. He remains in hospital, Largy said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous, contact CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or at www.solvecrime. ca or by texting BCTIP and your message to CRIMES (274637).

POLICING

Two face assault charges Two men will be in court this month.

ERIC ZIMMER Black Press

Ridge Meadows RCMP have arrested two 20-year-old Maple Ridge men in relation to the aggravated assault in Pitt Meadows, on a 20-year-old Langley resident Jan 17.

The assault sent Langley’s Cole Shannon to hospital.

“The investigation has resulted in the arrests of two individuals who police believe are respon-

sible for the serious assault,” said Ridge Meadows RCMP Cpl. Brenda Winpenny.

“The victim’s condition has improved, and it now appears his injuries are felt to be non-life threatening.”

However, she said, “he remains in hospital and it is unknown if there will be any long lasting injury as a result of the incident.”

The two suspects were arrested on Wednesday “and were released on conditions by a justice.”

The pair are due for a first court appearance later this month. > More at langleyadvance.com

MURDER

Victim died after assault Police are looking for witnesses who saw the victim on the day of the attack.

The man found dead in a Langley City hotel lived and worked there.

Police have identified him as Kevin Brunelle, 36.

“Langley RCMP was called to a local hotel in the late afternoon of Jan. 22, 2016, when a man was found deceased in one of the rooms.

Police determined the death was suspicious and as a result called in the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.

Investigators will remain on scene for several hours,” said IHIT Sgt. Stephanie Ashton.

Police determined the death was suspicious and as a result called in the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.

On the afternoon of Thursday Jan. 21, Brunelle was found in the alley behind the Langley hotel.

He was suffering from injuries which he may have sustained during an assault.

“Mr. Brunelle was assisted back to his room, and was not checked on until the following afternoon when he was found deceased,” Ashton said.

Investigators are now looking for anyone who may have information about Brunelle leading up to the time he was found injured in the alley to piece together a timeline.

P

Educated Ignorant get no apology

I

don’t blame the education system so much as society’s unrealistic expectations warping what it means to have a university education. Some folks think having a degree means they’re “certified smart.”

We all have things we don’t know, and ignorance is just not knowing something, so we’re all ignorant.

Stupid is not realizing that.

The Educated Ignorant are people who have a piece of paper from a university that has certified that they know something, and they have extrapolated that into an assumption that they know better.

I believe that is at the bottom of the counter-intuitive prevalence of “educated” minions in the anti-vaxxer crowd.

I’ve been asked for an apology from an engineer with an MS (bolstered by his wife’s BS) who didn’t like my lumping anti-vaxxers in with the Educated Ignorant two weeks ago. His feelings were apparently hurt when I said antivaxxers are stupid.

I, too, have more than one language.

In fact, I even play several musical instruments, and I have written a few pretty nice songs with kick-ass lyrics.

But I don’t actually believe any of that qualifies me to calculate stress loads on bearing beams and cables on major bridges like the Port Mann. Indeed, even the trained engineers didn’t get them all

Odd Thoughts

ity the poor federal Conservatives.

After nine years in power, they’re back to the opposition benches. And like many former ruling parties after a stint in power, they are without a permanent leader, and will have to spend some time licking their wounds.

The problem with transfers of power in Canadian politics is that they are usually done when the voters are heartily sick of the governing party. You can come in on a wave of change and enthusiasm, and be kicked out eight or nine years later with a hearty “Good riddance!” from the electorate.

The Tories are currently licking their wounds.

But the Tories – and the NDP, and the Green Party’s Elizabeth May – are going to have to pick themselves up, and soon.

It’s tough to be in opposition against a new and still fairly popular governing party. But the role is vital.

Conservative interim leader Rona Ambrose is making a few stabs at Liberal policy, weighing in on the Energy East pipeline and is pushing for the TPP trade deal to be ratified. She’s suggesting governments look at doing something about sky-high real estate prices. So far, it’s been a mixture of talking points left over from the campaign, and a few jabs at the Liberals’ weak spots.

Whoever takes on the full time job of Tory leader will have to do that, and much more. They will have to hold the Liberals’ feet to the fire on a broad range of issues.

They will have to criticize from a place of principle. And they will have to articulate a vision of what a new Conservative Canada would look like – a task made more difficult after a majority of the country decisively rejected the notion of another Conservative government.

The job of an opposition party is twofold – they must hold the government to account, and they must audition to replace them.

If you do the first job well enough, ironically you might fail at the second.

Letters to the editor

Do the OCP right this time

Dear Editor, Sent to Township Mayor Jack Froese: I moved my family here four years ago from a rapidly changing Richmond neighbourhood that I did not want my children to grow up in anymore.

We chose South Langley for the unique atmosphere that offers so much to our kids and to us. Clean air and open spaces with trees abound. Minutes from beautiful parks, our school, Noel Booth, and the lovely aquifer area around it. We were the first young family to move onto our street. Now since there are five new families with babies who also moved here and are starting to live our new taxpaying lives here.

I am writing to you regarding the new OCP. I am urging you to take utmost care in how you handle this entire process.

The residents in this area are still upset about what kind of plan was put forth in the last OCP proposal and are bracing for another ill planned and pocket-lining plan that does not consider this area and the vastly unique aspects about it. I urge you to prove us wrong.

Show us a plan that consults the residents who own here and who brought their families to grow up here and augments the plan based on their input and proper civic area planning to give the Brookswood and Fernridge area residents what we deserve. We deserve a well laid out and different plan to maintain the aspects that make this area as amazing and unique as it is. You cannot regrow what you

will destroy once you decide.

Steps must be taken to preserve our ecosystems and aquifers and the dangers posed by rushed and ill thought out development around this area.

Pay attention to the greater issues affecting our world. The ecosystems are at a tipping point and creating a neighbourhood plan that keeps this intact, larger lots so families can farm their own food and keep carbon farming alive to reverse the damage done to our atmosphere.

Permaculture and carbon farming are what we need now in all communities. If you consider this and encourage this you will be among the heroes in this world. Didn’t you go into this position to do just that – make a difference?

Take the time and do this the right way. We will all support the right OCP. Diana Dawson, mother of three, wife and businessperson, Fernridge

Another round Dear Editor,

Why is there any chance that developers could dictate to our Langley municipal council on anything?

So here it comes again the Township of Langley wants another plan to divide up land in the Brookswood Fernridge area of South Langley.

The last plan was a complete disaster and the people who live in this area shot it down, and I am sure this cost us the taxpayers of Langley plenty.

Now I believe the developers are so sure that they will get

their way, that they are going right on like they have already have the plans done. Just take a drive east on 22nd Avenue into Fernridge Crescent and you will see one of the new kind of houses that they are building.

With all the building going on and the great increase in the number of people, does our council really have any plans as to how to keep up with the needed supply of clean water and sewer? What have they in mind as to how to handle the increase in traffic? It seems to me like they don’t even know what to do with 16th Avenue and all the traffic on this road.

Jim Glavin, Langley

SAIL ROUNDTRIP FROM VANCOUVER

Areas linked Dear Editor,

I feel like Prime Minister Trudeau when I say it is with a heavy heart that I send this email. I have lived in Brookswood since 1975, raised and schooled four children here.

I have no words that I can politely utter regarding this plan. I see it is an issue of divide and conquer. Fernridge and Brookswood are inextricably intertwined for everyone except the current mayor and council.

How are these people who will live in the newly developed Fernridge lands going to get there without passing through Brookswood?

Development in Fernridge affects our roads, schools, hospitals, fire protection and ambulances. Development fees never cover this totally.

Fatidjah Nestman, Brookswood

Granddad pro jab Honour volunteers Dear Editor, I admire S. Karanglov’s letter to you regarding his and his wife’s feelings on vaccination by the fact that he is making it public to everyone who reads the paper.

As a grandfather of six grandchildren all attending elementary school, please contact Mr. Karananflow and ask what school his children attended and what grades. I can then do my utmost to insure that my grandchildren do not come into contact with his children. It will be a win, win for both of us.

Tom Faraone, Walnut Grove

NO FLYING

One of the reasons I’m so proud to be a resident of Langley Township is because it means I’m a member of an incredible community filled with hard working volunteers who volunteer solely because of their love of people, of helping and of Langley.

We are seeking nominations for outstanding volunteers who currently live in the Township and volunteer in our community to make it the incredible place it is.

Criteria for the Flowerdew, Swennson and Arnason awards is at tol.ca/awards. The deadline is Feb. 12.

Loriann Sandy wants to help dogs with some of her lotto winnings.

GIVING

Doggy donor has lotto loot An animal lover will help out a dog rescue group.

A Langley woman who won $1 million in a Maxmillion lotto ticket on Dec. 18 says she’s planning to help rescue dogs.

“I still don’t feel this is real,” said Loriann Sandy. “I am still asking myself if this is real.”

Sandy plans to use some of her winnings to buy a large SUV so she can accommodate her cat and two Rottweilers. She will also donate money to Rottweiler Rescue in Vancouver and the BC SPCA. “I think this is good karma because I love to help animals and I donate to the BC SPCA monthly,” said Sandy.

Sandy bought the winning ticket at Ed’s Market in Langley.

She was alone when she checked and found she had the winning numbers, but was able to drive herself home safely before telling her mother about the big win.

“She is very excited about my win. My mom has already shared the news with the rest of our family,” said Sandy.

Does the Virto V Replace Traditional Hearing Aids?

Whether at work, during conversations in small groups or when watching television, one in six adults experience problems when it comes to accurate speech comprehension and hearing in everyday situations. Although background noise and music can impair communication with friends and family, two thirds of those affected still do not use any hearing aids.

For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behind­the­ear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manufacturer Phonak.

See how the virtually invisible Virto V fits into your daily routine.

There are many reasons for this but for most people it’s that they are not convinced that hearing aids will significantly benefit them or it’s the unease they feel about attracting atten­ tion by wearing a visible hearing aid.

Virtual function of the ear

This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manu­ factured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a custom­fit miniature hearing aid that disappears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.

“Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech under­ standing, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a custom­fit solution.

Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of Swiss If you are interested in finding out more manufacturer Phonak, presents about these new hearing aids, the first step is to book hearing evaluation and the new Virto V hearing aids. determine if the new Virto V technol­ ogy is the right solution for you. For those who are hard of hearing, this can be particularly useful for finding out whether it is possible to hear and understand more clearly with discreet in­the­canal hearing solutions.

At Connect Hearing we offer you the chance to be among the first to try these state­of­the­art hearing aids.

As a tribute to its FrenchCanadian roots, the fort hosted its annual Vive Les Voyageurs festival, featuring music, Métis dancing workshops in the Big House, maple taffy on a stick, historical presentations, spoons and jigging, French 101 lessons, and fur trade weddings.

This year’s festival was blessed with unseasonably warm and dry weather, which made it a resounding success, said FLNHS promotions officer Heather Ramsay.

Parks Canada staff welcomed nearly 800 visitors Saturday

Frozen fable part of new film fest fundraiser A former TWO student kicks off a new local film festival.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

NUMB is Jason Goode’s baby.

On Friday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. inside the Chief Sepass Theatre at Langley Fine Arts School, he’ll be showing off his pride and joy for all to see, as the local filmmaker’s movie kicks off the Langley International Film Festival (LIFF).

Goode has strong ties to Langley.

While he now lives in White Rock, he attended Trinity

Western University and said he has “spent a lot of time in the community.”

Having his film make its Metro Vancouver premiere at LIFF means a great deal to Goode, especially considering proceeds from ticket sales and concession going to support art and film programs in the Langley School District.

“We’re happy to be using our premiere to help raise funds for the arts in Langley,” Goode said.

“It’s great to be able to give back.”

LIFF features six films showing from Feb. 19 to 21, as well as an opening night gala featuring wine, hors d’oeuvres and discussions with Goode and his NUMB cast and crew at lelem Arts and

Trinity Western University alum Jason Goode directed NUMB, a small, independent Canadian film about a search for stolen gold in the remove wilderness.

Culture Cafe in Fort Langley following the screening.

NUMB is about a couple in financial distress who discover

GPS coordinates that promise to lead to stolen gold.

They must partner up with a pair of mysterious hitchhikers to enter the remote winter wilderness to recover the bounty of coins.

“On the surface a film about chasing gold is often interpreted as being about greed. But in reality greed is a symptom of some other deeper lack,” Goode explained. “In the case of NUMB, the central ‘disease’ of the four main characters is pride: finding your identity in what you are capable of.”

The movie was previously screened at the prestigious Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, and was the closing gala film at the Whistler

Film Festival, which Goode described as “a huge honour.”

Starring British actor Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Galactica), Marie Avgeropoulos (The 100), Aleks Paunovic (iZombie, War of the Planet of the Apes), and Stefanie von Pfetten (Cracked), as well as Vancouverbased film and stage actors, NUMB will have a limited Canadian theatrical release starting March 2.

The film was shot entirely the Okanagan including Vernon, Kelowna, Enderby, and Lumby, over an 18-day period.

Goode said shooting a film in the Canadian wilderness was often quite challenging, “but the crucible of the elements made for a better film in the end.”

public notices Sites Sought for Langley Ecological Services Initiative In partnership with the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation (LSAF) and the Ecological Services Initiative, the Township of Langley is conducting a three-year pilot project called the Langley Ecological Services Initiative (Langley ESI).

Langley ESI is a Payment for Ecological Services (PES) program that pays farmers to maintain and enhance areas of environmental and ecological significance. It is a farmer-led initiative designed to demonstrate, analyze, and communicate the PES concept, encourage farmers to adopt Beneficial Management Practices, and make the case for establishing a long-term program in the Township.

A minimum of ten sites will be established for the Langley ESI. The pilot project sites must: • be located along the main stem of Bertrand Creek, downstream from 264 Street at 24 Avenue • be a bona fide farm, as defined by the BC Assessment Authority • have ecological values (such as woodlots and wetlands), biodiversity values, fishery habitat values, riparian habitat values, and/or presence of federally-listed species-at-risk.

LSAF is managing the Langley ESI on behalf of the Township. It will strike a site selection committee composed of farmers, Environmental Farm Plan advisors, and representatives from the BC Ministry of Agriculture, BC Ministry of Environment, and Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society.

The amount of payment to farmers is dependent on the final number of participants in the pilot project, which will start in the spring of 2016 and conclude in the summer of 2018.

Farmers are invited to apply directly to the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation on or before February 5, 2016, by providing the following information: • Civic address of the property in Langley • Name(s) of the Registered Owner(s) • Name(s) of the tenant(s), if applicable • Contact information such as phone number(s) • A brief description of the type of agricultural activity on site by stating animal units and total land area dedicated to farming (to determine “farm status”) Example 1: mixed farming with 100 cows and 1,500 laying chickens on 50 acres.

Example 2: 10,000 square metres of greenhouse plus 10 acres for hay.

• Other relevant information (number of years farming at the site, number of people employed in the business, etc.)

Please send applications to: Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation 19915 – 37A Avenue Langley, BC V3A 2S8 Or email: info@langleysaf.ca.

Club manager easing into retirement After nearly 17 years, Nigel Easton will hand over the Brookswood club’s reins.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Nigel Easton offered up a simple, succinct answer as to why, and more specifically when, he decided to retire as manager of the Langley Curling Club.

“When I hit the big 65,” Easton quipped.

Another motivating factor: Easton also wanted to spend more time with his wife Linda, and in anticipation of his final day in April, has scaled back his hours at the Brookswood club as he transitions into retirement.

Over the years, Easton said he put in “long, long hours, seven days a week.”

He gave the club’s board of directors four years notice of his decision and is now there between three and four days each week.

“We’ve hired a replacement, Robyn [Parkes],” Easton said.

“She’s been in training and this year she’s basically taken over the whole operation.”

The club – part of the George Preston Recreation Centre in Brookswood – opened in 1973 and started out with only four sheets of ice before expanding to six sheets in 1990.

Easton began managing the club in 1999, after seeing

a “help wanted” ad in the Vancouver Province.

Easton moved to B.C.’s South Coast from Dryden (est. pop., 7,617 in 2011, and best known for its pulp mill and being the home of NHL Hall of Fame member Chris Pronger) after his wife took a job in B.C around Christmas 1998.

“I came out in the spring of ’99,” Easton said.

“My wife found this ad [in the newspaper] and said ‘you should apply for this job,’ because I wasn’t doing anything, and that was it.”

Nearly 17 years later, Easton has helped to grow the club from 520 to 800 members.

Also, the club co-hosted the Continental Cup at the Langley Events Centre in 2012, and previous to that, hosted the B.C. men’s provincials at the GPRC in 2007, not to mention the juvenile provincials and several playdowns through the years.

Another of the club’s major successes is its junior program, Easton noted.

To wit: the Langley Curling Club/Royal City Curling Club rink of skip Tyler Tardi, third Daniel Wenzek, second Jordan Tardi, lead Nicholas Meister, fifth Sterling Middleton and coach Paul Tardi recently captured the Tim Hortons B.C. junior men’s curling title, to earn a spot at the 2016 Canadian junior championships.

“You are now seeing the Tardi boys representing B.C. and also part of the Youth Olympics, so representing Canada,” Easton said.

Outgoing Langley Curling Club manager Nigel Easton is proud of the success of the club’s junior program. The club has a table adorned with a banner wishing Langley-based Team Tardi luck at the 2016 Canadian junior championships.

Troy Landreville Langley Advance

“We have a very, very successful junior program.”

He’s also proud of the fact that he helped grow the club financially, from being $20,000 “in the hole” to having about “$100,000 in the bank.”

Retiring as manager won’t keep Easton away from the club. He curls four times a week and in bonspiels, and plans to continue volunteering at various curling events.

For Easton, curling’s appeal is simple: “It’s the activity, great

exercise, and the camaraderie I have with my fellow curlers.”

He also enjoys the strategy that comes part and parcel with the sport. “It’s somewhat considered like playing chess because you’re always trying to think of what the opposition’s going to do and what you have to do,” he said, before adding, “but mostly it’s the exercise and being around people you enjoy.” > More: langleyadvance.com, search ‘Nigel Easton’

JUNIOR CURLING

Team Tardi on a roll at Canadian championships Team Tardi perfect at the junior nationals in Stratford, Ont. Once upon a time, Tyler Tardi and draw weight were not exactly on friendly terms.

That’s not helpful, to say the least, for a skip.

But things have changed over the past few years for the Team B.C. shot-caller, who after Tuesday had helped his

team to a 6-0 record at the 2016 Canadian Junior Curling Championships, presented by Egg Farmers of Ontario.

Tardi, 17, credits his extensive mixed doubles experience – he’s a two-time B.C. champion with Dez Hawes (a member of the B.C. women’s team here) – for changing his mindset about throwing draws.

“It definitely has made me a lot better at the touch game,” said Tardi, who made the playoffs at the 2015 mixed doubles

nationals in Ottawa before being knocked out by four-time world champ Glenn Howard and his daughter Carly.

“I used to only be able to throw hits and never make a draw if my life depended on it.

But I’m definitely more comfortable with those touch shots.

“I guess I find it a bit boring to just play with no rocks in play, no angles. That’s the biggest thing I like about curling.”

It’s paid off in the early going in Stratford as the young B.C.

Find quality employees.

team from New Westminster and Langley – which includes third Daniel Wenzek, second Jordan Tardi (Tyler’s older brother) and lead Nick Meister – has been coolly making every shot en route to a perfect opening weekend.

Competition continues this week at the Stratford Rotary Complex.

Langley’s junior A hockey team plays three games in as many days, starting Friday at Merritt’s Nicola Arena where they will take on the Merritt Centennials.

The Rivermen then head home to the Langley Events Centre for back-toback contests, fewer than 24 hours apart.

The ’Men will host Washington State’s expansion squad, the Wenatchee Wild, Saturday at 6 p.m. and the Surrey Eagles Sunday afternoon, with a 3 p.m. start time.

Heading into the weekend, the Rivermen have collected points in each of their past five contests, with three wins and two overtime losses during that span.

Last weekend the Rivermen traveled to Prince George and swept the Spruce Kings, winning 5-4 in double OT on Jan. 21 and 5-2 last Friday, Jan. 22, before losing 6-5 in overtime to the Coquitlam Express on Sunday.

At press time Wednesday, the Rivermen were 25-17-2-1 and sat tied with the Wild for second in the B.C. Hockey League’s Mainland Division with 53 points, seven points back of the frontrunning Chilliwack Chiefs.

Stealth stomped The Vancouver Stealth honoured the Vancouver Ravens Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

The Colorado Mammoth did their part to salute a particular pair of Ravens.

Mammoth coaches Chris Gill and Dan Stroup were among the former Ravens players and staff on hand for a reunion of B.C.’s first National Lacrosse League club, a squad that wrapped up three cashstrapped seasons in 2004.

Gill and Stroup, former Ravens snipers who share Colorado coaching duties with Pat Coyle, could afford time to reminisce, since the Mammoth held a comfy 12-3 lead at halftime. Colorado coasted in the rest of the way, winding up with a 14-5 win before an announced crowd of 3,626.

The Mammoth (4-0) are the National Lacrosse League’s only remaining undefeated team.

The Stealth (1-2) were blown out for a second straight time at home.

The Stealth visit the Calgary Roughnecks (1-2) on Saturday and then are home to Colorado again on Feb. 6.

Marianne Elisabeth (Götzke)

OPTICAL TRAINING ... in only 6-months starts March 21st, 2016

www.bccollegeofoptics.ca BC College Optics 604.581.0101

Marianne Goetzke died peacefully at Zion Park Manor, Cloverdale, January 19, 2016. She will be missed by the family sheloved, by her friends, and remembered at Bethel Mennonite Church, where she was an active member for nearly 60 years.

Her family includes 5 children, 10 grandchildren and 10 greatgrandchildren: Reimar Goetzke & Beverly Short (Lyris Short- Goetzke & Eric Stutzman-Calum, Myelle; Seth Goetzke), Ute Goetzke (Jen & Mark Goerzen-Gabriel, Gus, Piper; Rena & Matt Siddall), Bodo and Sharon Goetzke (Larissa & Jeff Neale-Oliver; Vanessa Goetzke; Natasha & Tyrell Mara-Olia), Lissa and Bill Decker (Brad Decker; Jonathan Decker; Ashley & Jayeson Wall-Madeline, Lincoln, Beckett), Helga Goetzke.

Marianne was born May 2, 1923 in Neuhof, East Prussia and baptized in the Adlig- Pokraken Mennoniten Gemeinde. She enjoyed school, especially mathematics.

She and Otto Ernst Goetzke married in 1950 and with their first two children emigrated to Canada in 1952.

The wildlife around Westwold made the walk to school precarious for the children so Otto left his mill job for a little farm in Aldergrove, 1954. In 1961 they moved onto a larger farm where they raised strawberries and laying hens. Marianne worked on the farm while Otto often did seasonal work at a tannery or fish cannery.

Marianne showed her deep faith through action rather than word, ministering to her church together with Otto from 1980 to 1989 as a deacon. Her generosity continued with many gifts from her big garden, from her kitchen, and treats of Christmas and birthday chocolates. People tell of her bursting into a beaming smile that lit up her face. One couldn’t guess what would make her laugh, but her laughter would make people grin. The celebration of Marianne’s life will be held at Bethel Mennonite Church, 24687-56 Ave., Langley, 11:00 am, February 01, 2016. In lieu of flowers, her family requests donations to MCC BC. “Goodness and love unfailing will follow me all the days of my life.” Ps. 23:6 Online condolences to the family may be made to: www.wiebeandjeskefh.com

Panel on men’s eating issues An Aldergrove man is raising awareness of eating disorders.

ASHLEY WADHWANI news@langleyadvance.com

Tyson Busby suffered from bulimia for seven years.

He was finally able to get himself into a treatment facility for eating disorders.

The Aldergrove resident will be one of the four panel members speaking on his battle with eating disorders Jan. 30, in an effort to raise awareness on the stigma of eating disorders and size-shaming.

Busby endured several traumatic events in childhood.

When he was five, Busby said, he watched a friend in the school yard die, after the hood of her coat got caught on a slide on the playground.

When he was seven, he was molested by a male babysitter several times.

Busby was raised by his mother and step-father, and did not have much contact with his biological father.

In high school, Busby also dealt with personal body image issues.

“I’d make the joke first so I didn’t have someone make the joke about me,” he explained.

At 18 years old, Busby ended his relationship with his father.

Tyson Busby has battled eating disorders. He’s turned his life around and now tries to help other men.

“That’s when my eating disorder started,” he said. “I didn’t know what I was doing, it just made me feel good mentally.”

Busby turned to drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism for his depression and bulimia, and became involved in the drug trade.

“To cope with my depression and eating disorder I did a lot of drinking, which I see a lot when I meet some people with eating disorders,” he said.

After meeting his girlfriend – now his common-law wife – Busby discontinued his criminal activity. His purging became a silent suffering, and the trauma from his childhood began to take its toll.

“I was very good at hiding my eating disorder… It was

just an everyday thing,” he said.

Busby recalled purging “40 or 50 times per day.”

During this time, at the age of 24, Busby made several attempts to find help for his eating disorder.

“It was very hard for me to find help, because there wasn’t a lot about men and eating disorders,” he said. “This was when I lost all hope, and that was my bottom line.”

Busby attempted suicide twice within two days.

Shortly after Busby was admitted into the Looking Glass residential care program on Galiano Island.

“If I was 25, I wouldn’t have gotten in, and I don’t think I’d be here today,” he admitted.

It’s estimated that between 500,000 to one million Canadians suffer from an eating disorder, according to the Looking Glass Foundation.

The Jan. 30 panel discussion, titled Interrupting the Stigma: Putting an End to Size-Shaming, is part of the Provincial Eating Disorders Awareness campaign for Eating Disorder Awareness Week (Feb. 1 to 7). The panel is noon to 1 p.m., in the Main Lecture Theatre at UBC Robson Square.

Admission is free, but space is limited. People can get tickets at pedawpanel.eventbrite.ca.
