Zoo in mourning Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Jafari, the giraffe, has died. The 12-year-old healthy male giraffe was found dead in his heated barn at the Greater Vancouver Zoo on Sunday morning. Around 7:30 a.m., animal care staff doing their morning routine came upon Jafari collapsed in his heated barn, said zoo general manager Jody Henderson. He has lived at the Greater Vancouver Zoo since 2001. He came there when he was six months old. The cause of death is unknown at this time and a necropsy will be performed. “This is extremely hard on all of us at the zoo, although we take comfort in knowing visitors of the zoo had an opportunity to learn more about this beautiful endangered species,” said Henderson. In memory of Jafari, the zoo asks visitors to share their encounters with Jafari on the Zoo Facebook page. This is the third giraffe to die within a year. Last November, Eleah was found collapsed in her heated barn. Just like Jafari, she was considered healthy prior to her death. But she was much older, at 23 years of age. Her death had come only a week after that of her son Amryn, a three-year-old giraffe, who died unexpectedly. Amryn was Eleah and Jafari’s offspring. The necropsies done of both giraffes were inconclusive as to what killed them. There is now only one giraffe left at the zoo. A five-year-old Rothschild giraffe was purchased from an Ontario zoo and brought to Aldergrove in July to be a companion for Jafari. In 2006, the SPCA charged the zoo with animal cruelty in relation to the concrete holding pen with no access to the outdoors for two-yearold Hazina the hippo. The charges were stayed because the hippo was moved to a much improved enclosure, that included a big outdoor pool and heated enclosure.

They went to garage sales and picked out things that could be worth money or would be neat to keep, he explained. He’s kept an old piggy bank from Ohio and really old lighters, to name a few treasures.

“Matthew bought a surfboard with his grandpa. He paid $15 for it. We thought what the heck does he want a surfboard for?” said his dad Steve. “He sold it for $500.” But then his grandfather passed away 18 months ago. It was a devastating blow for Matthew. In an effort to keep their Saturday tradition alive, Matthew’s dad picked up

might want to buy and starts researching them online to see how much they might be worth. He found an old desk that was worth triple what he paid for it. Fast forward to July, 2012. Matthew found a seascape oil painting he liked the look of at Big Valley. He wrote it down and went home to research it. The painting was called Harbouring Great Memories by artist Reet Herder. “Matthew came to me and said “Dad, the painting is stolen. Let’s buy it and return it to the rightful owner,” said Steve. It wasn’t going cheap. By the end of the auction, Matthew had purchased the painting with $70 of his own money. The painting came from a bailiff seized storage locker. The auctioneer and owner of Big Valley got word that evening of what Matthew had done and thought it was so special, he cut the price of the painting in half for him. Matthew took his purchase home and put it away in a closet, wanting to make sure it stayed intact, without his cats scratching it. His next steps were to get in touch with the artist or the police. “He believes in doing the right thing,” said his dad. “For him, it’s about returning it home.” As it is a small world on the World Wide Web, Matthew found all of Herder’s information. The next thing the Langley artist knew, she received a phone call from this young man, explaining that he had her stolen painting. Facilitated through the Langley RCMP, Herder met Matthew on Friday and her Harbouring Great Memories oil painting was returned to her. The pair shared hugs and Herder was so pleased with Matthew’s efforts, she is giving him a giclee (digital print) of the painting he likes so much. In August 2005, Herder’s painting along with 16 other paintings were stolen from the Fort Langley caboose, where exhibits are often on display. “I came in on the Sunday morning to the caboose and saw that the door was open and there was paintings and other items on the floor,” said Herder. “I didn’t clue in that someone had broken in and stolen our paintings.” Herder called police and they investigated. The Monique TAMMINGA/Langley Times local papers did a story. Herder posted her stolen Langley artist Reet Herder smiles happily with Matthew artwork on Myartclub.com.

named in honour of Eric Bysouth ‘His name and accomplishments will always be remembered’

The name of one of Langley’s most dedicated volunteers will live on through a facility which he helped to create. At a memorial service on Saturday, Township Mayor Jack Froese announced that at the request of the Rotary Clubs of Langley, the Rotary Field House at McLeod Athletic Park has been renamed the Eric Bysouth Rotary Field House. “It recognizes Eric’s dedication and everything he did to enhance our community,” Froese said. “In this way his name and accomplishments will always be remembered.” Bysouth, a long-time Rotarian and Langley resident, passed away on Oct. 13 at the age of 88. “Eric was a true volunteer and a great contributor. He always spoke his mind and his words were always accompanied by action,” Froese said. Township council approved the Rotary clubs’ request to rename the facility and Froese announced the name change during a celebration of Bysouth’s life on Saturday, Nov. 3. “Eric was the driving force for the creation of the Rotary Field House. It is a fitting tribute that it will bear his name,” said David Truman, a member of the Rotary Club of

Langley and assistant governor, Rotary District 5050 Area C, who put forward the request on Rotary’s behalf. Active in the community for more than 40 years, Bysouth was instrumental in the development of McLeod Athletic Park and the creation of the field house. As a Rotarian, he also helped organize fundraisers for those in need, and was recognized with a Paul Harris Fellowship. Equally active in politics, Bysouth served on a number of Township committees and commissions. His concerns and ideas on everything from transportation to Langley reunification were often heard in council chambers and through letters to the editor, and he created a “report card” to rank local elected officials’ performance. He was also named Langley’s Senior of the Year and the H.D. Stafford Good Citizen of the Year. “With the passing of Eric Bysouth, Langley has lost a real character, an individual who believed passionately in his community,” Froese said. New exterior signage and interpretive signs with information about Bysouth will be installed at the field house.

Dyson wins NDP nomination

FraNk Bucholtz Times Reporter

Shane Dyson won the NDP nomination in Fort Langley-Aldergrove on Sunday afternoon. Dyson won the nomination by defeating Gail Chaddock-Costello, who ran for the party in the riding in the 2009 election. She is also president of Langley Teachers Association. It was the first contested nomination in memory for members of the NDP constituency association executive, and the contest helped the party double its membership in the riding. The event began with a speech from party leader Adrian Dix, who has made many appearances in Langley in the past two years. He repeated his assertion that the party can win seats in the Fraser Valley â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Fort LangleyAldergrove, and cited the results of

with the Liberals to vote NDP, and not just stay home. Dyson replied that the party had a much better record as government in the 1990s than it is given credit for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do need to engage people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will certainly not fall in the trap the Liberals did â&#x20AC;&#x201D; say one thing before an election and a few days after the election, start work to bring in the HST.â&#x20AC;? On Monday, Dyson said he expects a far more vigorous campaign in Fort Langley-Aldergrove than the NDP has run in the past. The party has committed to give Fraser Valley campaigns more resources, and he expects there will be an enthusiastic team of campaign workers. Dyson said he also plans to learn from recent political examples and make good use of social media to engage potential voters.

Suspect Marks said. The school is just around the corner from the cemetery. The suspect is described as Caucasian, about 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;2 tallâ&#x20AC;? and with no facial hair. He has a crooked nose, spiky brown hair with grey streaks, and wore

a dark hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans. It is possible he was wearing a ring. There were no vehicles in the area at the time, and the man did not speak to the girl, Marks said.

No structural damage to home hit by slide

Natasha JoNes Times Reporter

Lucas Warkentin said that when he saw the river of mud in his driveway on Wednesday morning, “it took all of two seconds” to realize something was very wrong. Mud from a landslide on the opposite side of the street from his house in the 7800 block of 264 Street cascaded across the road and down his driveway and into the carport. Some of it seeped into his house when he answered a knock on the door at 6:30 a.m. Armed with flashlights, Langley Township firefighters asked him to leave his house. Warkentin said he had slept through the night’s heavy rain. Something stirred him at 4:30 a.m., but he went straight

back to sleep again until he heard the knock on his door. He thinks that it may have been at 4:30 a.m. that the mud slid down his driveway. When he looked outside, he was stunned. “It looked like a gravel truck backed into my driveway and dumped a load of mud. Then I thought, who did I make mad?” There is more than three feet of mud on his driveway. His car, a Dodge Charger, took the brunt of the slide, Warkentin said. Fortunately, his house sustained no structural damage. But an email which he received at 8:30 p.m. from the Township left him “disappointed.” It stated that he was responsible for cleaning up the mud and the five concrete barriers which were swept down

onto his property from the edge of the road. “That’s my disappointment,” he said. “Other than that, I was fortunate. It could have taken out my house.” Later on Thursday (Nov. 1), Township engineering manager Ramin Seifi toured the slide site and Warkentin’s property. Seifi confirmed that once the critical work of the road cleanup has been completed and 264 Street is safe for the public, the Township will remove the concrete barriers from Warkentin’s Langley Township photo property, and help as much A mud slide on 264 Street last Wednesday pushed as possible with clearing the other debris from the private concrete barriers down onto Lucas Warkentin’s property.

Residents of a Willoughby neighbourhood are circulating an online petition opposing development plans for 10 acres on the northeast corner of 200 Street and 68 Avenue. This is where Forewest Construction had tried unsuccessfully in 2010 to develop 607 apartments in eight buildings, and 14 townhouses. After a marathon public hearing which spilled over two evenings, council defeated the rezoning application at third reading. Forewest has returned with a scaled back proposal which calls for seven apartment buildings with 475 units, 27 townhouses, four duplexes and two single family houses. A public hearing was scheduled for last night’s Township council meeting. “This development does not fit into the existing community, which was zoned for single family housing,” the petition states. It goes on to say: “A development of this nature will completely change the complexities of our neighbourhood. There will be a large increase in traffic on the side streets and in front of R.C. Garnett Elementary. There are no schools for any kids living in this development to attend. A development of this size will have a major impact on the amount of graffiti, vandalism and disorderly conduct in this family neighbourhood.”

The need to remember

Heritage not government business

his Sunday is Remembrance Day. It is an important time to mark the sacrifices of soldiers in many past wars, who have made Canada what it is today. Here in Langley, there will be many opportunities to mark the day. There will be services at the cenotaphs in Langley City and Fort Langley, and the Aldergrove Legion will also host Remembrance Day services. All of these events will be focused primarily on the sacrifices made by the diminishing group of Second World War and Korean War veterans. They are the backbone of the veterans’ community locally, and their efforts from 1939-1945 and 1950-53 were very significant. Remembering takes on new importance as their ranks diminish due to aging. It’s good that many younger people in Langley have taken this to heart in recent years, as attendance at Remembrance Day events has grown significantly. This ongoing interest in the very important role played by veterans is a gratifying sign that Canadians are remembering. On Sunday afternoon, a significant event takes place that focuses almost exclusively on the most recent sacrifice by Canadian veterans — in Afghanistan. As noted on this page last week, the effort by Canadian troops in Afghanistan has been a lengthy one and the exact result of all their work remains unclear. What is very clear though, is that 158 of them lost their lives there, and Langley young people Elizabeth and Michael Pratt are determined that they also are remembered. The Walk to Remember area of the Derek Doubleday Arboretum is a living memorial to these young soldiers, and a formal ceremony, which includes a dedication of a new structure which lists the name of the fallen takes place at 2 p.m. The Walk to Remember is unique in Canada and is an impressive achievement for two young people to spearhead. It is totally in keeping with the other ways that we remember our veterans. and it is hoped there will be a good turnout at the dedication event. It’s a reminder that those who died in war were young and missed much of their lives. They defended an ideal. The important role played by the military in preserving our way of life is often not well understood, but on many occasions, young people have risen to the call to serve. Some of them made the ultimate sacrifice, and it is our duty to remember them. It is the least that we can do.

ongtime News Leader Pictorial editor John McKinley has never been to Scotland. It has been more than 150 years since a member of his family has lived anywhere near a moor, or the Highlands. He’s never sampled haggis, nor worn a kilt, and he chalks his dad’s bagpipe-playing habit to one of the old man’s personal idiosyncracies. But by virtue of his last name, the colour of his skin and the cultural mores of this country, no one would ever question his Scottish heritage. For Ann Studley, it is a much different story. Studley’s mother was half-German, half-Cowichan. Her grandmother was Cowichan. But because she is fair-skinned and because the cultural mores of this country include a political and legal minefield when it comes to First Nations’ heritage, her heritage is not only questioned, it is rejected outright, by no less an authority than our federal government. It’s a power our federal government should never have, and a classification that should legally cease to exist. Ultimately, one’s heritage should be something personal to one’s self. People should have a right to learn where they come from and use that information as they see fit. Who she is and where she came from is Studley’s business and no one else’s. On a legal and political level, it should have no relevance at all. Letting the state decide only succeeds in marginalizing people and creating division. Unfortunately, Canada is guilty of perpetuating humanity’s long and painful history of dividing and categorizing based on ethnic lines. Eliminate the Indian Act. Give people the power to determine who and what they are on their own, not because of a label forced on them by some bureaucratic decree. —Cowichan News Leader Pictorial (Black Press) The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Development ‘too much’ for neighbourhood Editor: I am a resident of Willoughby and a parent to two children who live and play in this neighbourhood which is being considered for development. During the 2010 council meetings on this topic, there was strong, fierce and widespread opposition to this development for a wide variety of reasons — here are just a few, from my point of view. 1. This is not a case of NIMBY-ism (Not In My Back Yard syndrome). Development is important to a community — however, it must be done with forethought and a strong focus on the big picture. Inserting a multi-storey building in this neighbourhood is in complete contradiction to the original community plan and makes no common sense whatsoever. This was zoned for single family housing, and now the plan is to put in multi-family housing, in addition to 475 condos? When homeowners in this neighourhood were considering spending $500,000 to $700,000 on a home — without a doubt the biggest financial

investment any of us will make — we all did our homework and made this investment based on information provided to us by the Township. 2. There are no schools for any kids living in this development to attend. Despite the letter provided by the Langley School District’s secretary-treasurer with an estimation of student numbers, it is abundantly clear that there has been very little consultation or collaboration with the Langley School District on the school plan the developers have proposed. When I attended the open house earlier this year, I spoke with the developer about concerns regarding schools. Being intimately acquainted with school district planning, I was able to push him on some of his statements. It came to light that they were working on two-year-old information regarding schools. I also call into question the estimated student numbers for this development. I wonder if the calculations that they used to determine future students were the same used when they estimated that R.C.

Garnett Elementary would top out at 350 students? If you follow the local media, you’ll know that this school was at 700 students (twice its capacity until they displaced two grades two catchments away, to another school). Nonetheless, Langley Meadows elementary is full, as is R.E. Mountain Secondary, and there is no more capital money to build any other schools. Why would the Township approve such a massive development in a location where there is nowhere for the kids to go to school? 3. A development of this nature will completely change the complexities of our neighbourhood. I lived in the West End of Vancouver for 11 years — I understand what rental and high density living creates. Already, we have an exorbitant amount of litter around R.C. Garnett Elementary (which is right up the block from this development). This garbage is generated by Township-approved activities on our school grounds. The state of our kids’ playground is a disgrace after soccer

nights and baseball season. Yet it is our children who pick up the Township’s garbage off the field. Moreover, we have a problem with graffiti, vandalism and disorderly conduct in this family neighbourhood and at our school — a problem that will only be further exacerbated by council’s approval of this development. How much more stress on infrastructure and services do you think this neighbourhood can take? I have grave concerns over the direction of the Township’s planning of what started out to be a wonderful community. I am fearful that councillors are all running ahead looking down at your feet — who is looking forward to see where all this is taking us? Is this truly what they want for our community, our families, and our children? I ask members of Langley Township council to vote down this proposed rezoning and development. Lorraine Baldwin, Langley

Editor: Last week, my husband and I had the pleasure of getting lost in the forest. We couldn’t see our way out for the glorious trees. We were in an area now being called McLellan Park Forest East, in Glen Valley. It is a spectacular 25 acres of deep forest that has been untouched for over 80 years. This is not a coiffed manicured

park, but a wild place that our ancestors would have had to wade through searching for their new homes. It is thriving with wildlife and foliage of all kinds. It is a rare treasure, and our Township wants to sell it for cash. I am not opposed to development, and I do support the pool in Aldergrove. But selling this “found” treasure would be tragic.

This forest is a time capsule, and cannot be replaced in our lifetime. I see money being spent on creating “natural” areas for wildlife and tree trunks being planted beside streams in the Township. The McLellan Forest natural area is up and running, and has an 80-year head start. It is beautiful; it is perfect just the way it is. It is a gift from our forefathers,

and to sell it would be like selling your grandmother’s heirloom jewelry. This is the forest of our youth. Come, get lost in the wonder of this unique forest, and let our Township council know how you feel. For more information, see mclellanpark.blogspot.ca. Sonya Klemm and John Blair, Langley

Editor; Regarding the intersection of Robertson Crescent and 256 Street, all that is needed is to change it to a fourway stop. The only scary thing about the intersection is whether or not someone is going to run the stop sign on Roberton Crescent. I live not far from the intersection and it isn’t any more dangerous than 20 other intersections in the Township. However, Robertson Crescent is a convenient route from the Strawberry Hills area to Aldergrove and drivers seem to take for granted traffic (or lack of) on 256 Street. I have seen a driver approach the stop sign westbound on Robertson Crescent, almost stop and look north, start moving through the intersection and then look south. That is when he saw my truck. By the time he stopped, his car was across the centre line of 256 Street. Fortunately, I had just enough room to

swerve around the nose of his car, avoiding him and the ditch. A flashing red light wouldn’t have stopped him from doing what he did. He knew there was a stop sign, but his bad driving habits just about ruined his day. Another instance involved a young driver playing his own version of Russian Roulette. I was out walking near the intersection on 256 Street, when a driver approached eastbound on Robertson Crescent. He also knew there was a stop sign because I heard the car shift down and start slowing, but approximately 100 feet from the intersection the car accelerated and crossed 256 Street doing about 60 km/h. Fortunately, no one was coming at that time. Again, a red flashing light would not make a difference to that person’s disregard for traffic safety.

The stop signs on Robertson Crescent are highly visible. They are not obscured by any bushes or branches and the visibility from the stop lines both north and south is good. Why people don’t see approaching traffic could be a combination of things. Vehicle colour, bush and undergrowthlined ditches, and/or the elevation difference between 256 Street and Robertson Crescent could all be factors. Adding a flashing red light is only safer if it is flashing red in all four directions. So why not save money and just add stop signs for northbound and southbound traffic, and make it a fourway stop intersection. At the very least, when someone runs a stop sign, the person coming from the side will be stopped or coming to a stop. Mel Fast, Langley

Editor: Good for you, Mayor Moonbeam. You go right ahead and build another TransLink SkyTrain along Broadway — but don’t you even think about asking us out here in Langley to pay for it. I’m tired of paying for services north of the Fraser River, and if any one of the mayors south of the Fraser supports your plan, and it will cost us (south of the Fraser) any money, they can kiss their mayoral position goodbye. If you want to provide that service, then those who use it can pay for it. That’s the way it should be for all the transit service. This will not be built using my money. D. Atkinson, Langley

It’s believed, but not confirmed, the driver blew the stop sign at 240 St. and 16 Ave., crashing into two other vehicles and killing a Delta father of two who was driving home from work in Langley along 16 Ave. The suspect was

arrested. Another man in another vehicle suffered minor injuries. On Sept. 13, an elderly couple were killed when their vehicle crossed the centre line into the oncoming path of a gravel truck in the 20200 block of 16 Avenue. “I don’t even need to look at speed limits or roundabouts yet. I just want all the partners at the table,” said Fox. TransLink is responsible for the road and would have to agree to fund safety upgrades. Fox said that 16 Avenue is “on TransLink’s radar.”

He met with TransLink staff two weeks ago to remind them about the pressing issue. Two years ago, TransLink had $20 million in their budget for road improvements, said Fox. This year that amount is down to $10 million. “So there is less of a budget for road improvements but in the meantime 16 Avenue has gotten busier and will get even busier,” Fox said. He wants TransLink, the Ministry of Transportation and the Township at the table. But The Times phoned the Ministry of Transportation, run by Langley MLA Mary Polak, only to be told the road is TransLink’s responsibility, not the province. However, it was only a few weeks ago that Polak announced $24 million for a new interchange on 16 Avenue at Highway 99. The two-lane 16 Avenue has very small shoulders, sometimes none at all, which police have said makes it difficult to do speed enforcement. It is used as a commuter route as well as a major truck traffic route from Abbotsford into Langley and Surrey. Numerous residents have written to the Township expressing concerns about the safety of 16 Avenue. Fox said his motion at the Township council table found no support. But that doesn’t stop his push for change. Calls to TransLink weren’t returned.

Forest tours continue Watchers of Langley Forests (WOLF) is resuming organized tours of McLellan P:ark East forest in Glen Valley. The tours will run every Saturday and Sunday, at 2 p.m. Participants are invited to gather at trailhead on 257A Street for a tour of the forest which Prof. David Jordan of Trinity Western called “regional ecological significance.” This forest is a 25 acre parcel which the Township currently has listed for sale. It is a mixed coniferous/deciduous forest with different types of habitat. There is extensive vegetation on the forest floor, various tree types and more than 100 species of birds and animals have been observed by naturalists. Some of the trees may be as old as 240 years. One area may have been marsh/bog in the 19th century and very likely has never been logged. Another area contains some stumps with evidence of pioneer logging. The thick vegetation makes this forest appear larger than its 25 acres. WOLF is a group of Langley residents who have come together to support conserving this forest. This tour is part of their public awareness campaign. No appointment is necessary but an email to savemclellanpark@gmail.com letting WOLF know you are coming would be appreciated. Address it to Kirk Robertson’s attention. Walkers are urged to wear good hiking boots and expect moderate exercise. Directions: If coming from Fort Langley follow River Road east, make a right at 256 Street, then turn left onto 84 Avenue; 257 Street is on the left hand side. If approaching from Aldergrove, go north on 264 Street, turn left onto 84 Ave and watch for 257 Street on the right.

Langley Gardens offers veterans free lunch Nov. 9 Chartwell retirement residences across Canada, including Langley Gardens Retirement Community, will pay tribute to veterans in November by inviting them into their homes for a complimentary lunch as a way of saying “thank you” for their service to our country. “It’s a small gesture that shows our gratitude and appreciation for the large sacrifices our vet-

erans made to keep our country free,” said Brent Binions, President and CEO of Chartwell Seniors Housing. “Chartwell is committed to ensuring that their legacy lives on in future generations and, while we have the opportunity, that we never stop saying thank you to them for their courage and contributions.” A special buffet luncheon in

honour of veterans will be held at Langley Garden Retirement Community on Friday, Nov. 9 at 11:30 a.m. Lunch will be complimentary for any veteran and a guest. Please RSVP to 604-8880228. In 2010, Chartwell published a book entitled Honour, which featured the photos and profiles of individuals who were veterans or supported the war effort

and who lived in a Chartwell residence. Thirty-five breathtaking photos by renowned photographer Yuri Dojc accompanied intimate stories of their personal experiences. Veterans in attendance at the November luncheon will receive a complimentary copy of the book. Last year, Chartwell released the documentary Honour: Their

SLOTS / POKER / TABLE GAMES / LIVE RACING / FOOD & BEVERAGE / FREE PARKING & ADMISSION

Stories, Our History, which included the humble and moving interviews that were conducted as part of the making of the book. Copies of the book and DVD have been donated to schools across Canada in an effort to ensure this important history is passed on to future generations. To reserve a spot call 604-8880228.

Thrift store to help persecuted Christians Natasha JoNes Times Reporter

A thrift store with a difference is opening in Langley. It came about after the board of International Christian Response Canada explored ways to engage the public in recycling goods and raising money for charities. It took a few months of exploration and discovery before the group found the path it wanted to take, said Mel Wiebe, CRI’s director. The result is the Christian Response Thrift Shop which will officially open on Saturday, Nov. 10. The opening ceremony will last from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and feature Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, MP Mark Warawa and Pastor Vila of Cuba. The store is at 5786 203 St.

Wiebe, who has many years of retail experience, will manage the shop with a number of volunteers, although eventually a full-time manager will be needed. “We plan to develop a voucher that will be distributed through social agencies and churches,” Wiebe said, adding that the voucher will entitle the recipient to clothes or other items from the shop. International Christian Response is working with its Swiss partner, Helping the Persecuted, in 37 countries of the world where practising Christianity is forbidden, bringing relief, food, support and encouraged to persecuted believers. “Many Christians are beaten, their houses destroyed, they are not allowed hospitalization or other government benefits, and thousands are killed every year,” Wiebe said. The face of Christianity has changed

The victim of a three-vehicle crash on Monday afternoon was a 47-year-old Delta man. Victor Duarte worked for Speedline, which sells point of sale software to pizza companies. He was an account manager. Duarte was on his way home to Delta after work, his employer confirmed for CTV News. The company learned about the crash on Tuesday morning. Duarte was the driver and sole occupant of one of three vehicles involved in the collision at the intersection of 16 Ave. and 240 St. at about 5:30 p.m. One of the other vehicles involved was a dark green pickup truck which had, about three minutes earlier, fled from RCMP who were conducting traffic enforcement in the 24000-block of 0 Avenue. Duarte died at the scene of the crash. Neither he nor the driver of the third vehicle had had any involvement whatsoever in the original incident with the RCMP, stressed the BC Coroner’s Service. The BC Coroners Service, Langley RCMP Traffic Services, and the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) Victor continue to investigate this Duarte death. Langley RCMP confirmed that no charges have yet been laid against the driver who fled from police. Charges may take a long time as all the appropriate agencies investigate this crash. The Speedline owner called Duarte “a good guy” and said co-workers are in disbelief. He said Duarte was married and had two children. A trust fund for Duarte’s family has been set up at the Royal Bank under Victor Duarte.

drastically, he said. “Paul Marshall, of the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., and a former senior fellow at the Center for Religious Freedom, says ‘there’s still the mindset that Christianity is white, Western and European’,” Wiebe said. Today, Marshall points out, two-thirds of the world’s Christians live outside the West. A conservative estimate of the number of Christians killed for their faith each year is somewhere around 150,000. Many persecuted believers are in prison and in work camps, and there are many orphans, Wiebe said. ICR Canada helps the church in these areas to grow by training leaders, starting new churches, providing Bibles, and giving humanitarian aid.

Learn how to stand up and stand out against bullying Rahn’s Black Belt Academy hosting bullying prevention seminar on November 17 When it comes to bullying, many kids do not know how to react. Learn to stand up and stand out against bullying at a free bullying prevention seminar, hosted by Rahn’s Black Belt Academy on Nov. 17. The seminar is part of WTTU Martial Arts’ program to educate communities on preventing bullying behaviour. Based on the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, students will learn how to spot bullying, how to react to it and how to put a stop to it. One in three kids is affected by bullying and “the impact is enormous,” said Shane Rahn, chief instructor at Rahn’s Black Belt Academy. Consequences can include anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, physical

ailments and lower academic achievement, he said. According to Dr. Dan Olweus,

founder of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, 60 per cent of boys identified as bullies

in middle school commit at least one crime by the time they are 24. He also says that victims of bullies are usually younger or physically weaker than their attackers. They lack

the social skills to develop supportive friendships and cannot deal with the situation themselves. These issues and others will be addressed during the seminar. “Through age appropriate instruction, direct training and open houses such as this one, collectively WTTU licensed

schools around the world hope to have a significant impact on reducing the extent of bullying and victimization,” Rahn said. The seminar is

for kids ages four to 13 and is being held at 4:30 p.m. at Langley Christian School, 22702 48 Ave. Only 150 spots are available. To register call 604-532-0172.

Literacy program expands Kwantlen Polytechnic University is partnering with community service agencies to expand an existing community-based literacy initiative in Langley to Surrey and Richmond. Forty per cent of adults in B.C. do not have the necessary skills to read a newspaper, understand a lease, read a map or fill out a work application form, and 37 per cent of Canadian adults have low literacy skills. This year, the existing one-on-one learning (COOL) program run by the Langley Literacy Network will be expanded and volunteer tutors will receive extended training and support. Contact Langley Outreach coordinator Christine Spinder to become a tutor or to be tutored: 604-809-5391, or email christines@aldergrovens.com.

Six-year-old Clare Reimer is all smiles with Cisco, the African grey on her arm at her sixth birthday party recently. The Langley girl asked for donations to Greyhaven bird sanctuary instead of gifts.

Going to the birds Langley girl didn’t want presents for birthday A six-year-old Langley girl decided birthday presents are for the birds — literally. Clare Reimer asked guests to her birthday party to not bring gifts for her but instead make donations to Greyhaven Exotic Bird Sanctuary, after seeing a similar story on Hope for Wildlife on the Knowledge Network. She raised $305 for Greyhaven.

Proud mom Carolyn said two kids from the party have already talked to their parents and will be doing the same thing. Volunteers from Greyhaven brought some of the birds they care for to her party. Parrots, for example, can outlive humans in many cases. To learn more about Grehaven go to www.greyhaven.bc.ca.

he Salvation Army began its work in Canada in 1882. From the beginning, the Army in Canada adopted founder William Booth’s philosophy that there is little point in preaching ‘salvation’ to hungry people. And so the concept of ‘soup and salvation’ took hold, later to be developed into the comprehensive social service programs that The Salvation Army operates today. The Gateway of Hope in Langley opened in November of 2009. It is a 3 floor facility offering a variety of programs and services including: Emergency Shelter, Extreme Weather Response, Community Meals every day and the Opportunities Program (longer term stay). The following training programs are also available to our guests and the community: Cook Training, Skillet 101, Financial Literacy, Food Safe, First Aid and more. Additional benefits to our guests include a computer lab, counselling and a medical room run by volunteer doctors once per week. Our thrift store is located in Aldergrove and recently expanded into a new location that celebrated its grand opening on November 10. Our annual Kettle Campaign begins November 23, and provides the major funding we need each year for our services. This is the time of year to offer hope and encouragement to the community, and getting involved in this campaign is a great way to do just this. We are looking for several hundred volunteers to host kettles at a variety of locations around the Langley area, and we would love to have you join our team!

woman with a friendly smile and a “Merry Christmas” and told her that the Salvation Army was there for her. The woman said thank you and moved on, but a few minutes later returned with tears in her eyes and a bill in her hand to donate. She said that even though the volunteer didn’t know what was going on in her life, the simple hello and friendly greeting had encouraged her spirits and gave her hope. Interactions like these are what make volunteering at a kettle a meaningful experience for everyone during the holiday season.

Thanks to the generous support of the community, the following opportunities exist: for $420, we can provide one family with emergency food, clothing and housewares. And for just $100 we are able to provide 2 families with help at Christmas or with Back to School supplies. There are so many great ways to be involved in the work that we do here at the Gateway of Hope. For more information, please visit our website at: www.gatewayofhope.ca or call us at 604-514-7375.

ast month was Small Business Month in British Columbia and it provides an opportunity for us to recognize that they are the backbone of the economy. Did you realize that 98 percent of all businesses in B.C. are small business? That they employ more than one million people in our province? On behalf of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce we salute you for investing in our community! On behalf of myself, VicePresident Brian Dougherty and Executive Director Lynn Whitehouse, I would like to extend our appreciation for the opportunity to represent the Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting in Hamilton, Ontario. The theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting was addressing the skills shortages that are obviously reaching a critical stage in eastern Canada. It was obvious that the challenges our business owners face out west are markedly different than our friends in eastern Canada and reminded me that regardless of local political strife and the challenging economic times our province faces we are incredibly lucky to live and do business in British Columbia. Prior to the AGM, we worked hard with our chamber colleagues in Mission and Richmond on our resolution concerning the ongoing main-

the ongoing discussions concerning TransLink and Transportation Funding. It is not an easy conversation but one that is vitally important to our region and I can assure you that your Chamber is front and center at the table.

tenance and navigation of the Fraser River. The resolution was not debated on the floor during the Policy Session, but was referred directly to the Canadian Chamber Board so they can begin to work on our behalf with the federal government. Overall, the conference provided a great educational opportunity and allowed us to network with our peers from Chambers across Canada. Your board of directors has been hard at work to develop mandates and responsibilities for Chamber Committees relating to Membership Recruitment, Membership Retention and Engagement, Event Management, Advocacy and the Community Director Positions. Details of all of these committees and how you can get involved will be provided in the coming weeks. The Chamber board and staff also continue to participate in Stakeholder Groups in an effort to provide input into

Become a

Chamber member & Benefit

Following up my report last month, I am pleased to update that we have met once again with representatives from the Canada Border Service Agency concerning the redevelopment of the Aldergrove Border Crossing. We had a very useful discussion and are confident everything is moving in the right direction. They will be in a position early in the New Year to provide us with more specific details and we will look sharing their plans with you. As a small business owner and as the President of the Chamber I am asked at least once a week what the Chamber does for my business and what I get out of my membership. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard question to answer because there are so many â&#x20AC;&#x153;tangibleâ&#x20AC;? benefits of membership but for me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the â&#x20AC;&#x153;soft benefitsâ&#x20AC;? of membership that I really value as an entrepreneur. Through my chamber membership I have access to people I would never have met in my regular life. Through my membership, I have had an opportunity to form relationships and learn more from chamber mem-

bers than I would ever have imagined. All of the people I meet every single day through chamber have an impact on my small business in Langley. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of our Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, a director from another chamber or a new member to this chamber, I learn from all of them, I share with them, I buy from them and they hopefully become customers of mine. Through the success of my small business I am able to donate to the non-profits, I can volunteer my time and resources, and attend community events. I have also come to appreciate that I have access to the Chamber staff and all of their knowledge and resources. The relationship between small business and the chamber is a lot more than gas discounts and health benefits. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like anything in life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the more you put in, the more you get out. I would ask you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are you getting the most out of your Chamber membership? Are you helping to strengthen our chamber, inviting guests and attending events? Small business is good for our economy and the Chamber supports that. I appreciate my membership and all of you that contribute to the strength of our community. The small businesses in Langley are what make this community and our Chamber so fantastic.

Sister act at Douglas College Douglas College is challenging the idea that you can’t cast non-aboriginal actors in aboriginal roles in its upcoming production of one of the most famous and influential First Nations plays in Canada. The Rez Sisters, written by Cree playwright Tomson Highway, is the latest production by the departments of Theatre and Stagecraft and Event Technology at Douglas College. The play is about seven women, each wrestling with personal demons, on a native reserve in Ontario, who dream of attending (and winning) “The Biggest Bingo in the World.” The play runs from Nov. 9 to 17 and stars Langley resident Meghan Somerville as Annie Cook. First performed 1986, the Rez Sisters opened to critical acclaim and sold-out houses. But since then it has rarely been staged, noted director Deborah Neville, because many theatres are afraid to take the risk of casting nonaboriginal actors in Meghan aboriginal roles. Somerville “There was this slippery feeling that you needed to cast First Nations people in order to get the proper First Nations voice,” Neville says. “So there was this dry period where this beautiful thing went on ice because nobody would touch it.” Two of the actors and the set and costume designer in the Douglas College production have some aboriginal lineage. The rest are non-aboriginal. To prepare for the production, Neville and the cast have been doing historical research, meeting with aboriginal groups to become more familiar with First Nations cultures, learn some dance and take a crash course in Cree. Neville says she had no qualms using a colour-blind cast. “I watched an interview with Tomson Highway where he was encouraging nonaboriginal theatre companies to ‘get on it, put the play up, do it.’ For me, that was my way in. It was permission.” Neville says theatre is about “digging around and finding out who people are, and why.” “That’s the reason I go to the theatre, to get a deeper understanding of what it’s like to be somebody else, someone whose life is perhaps very different to mine, and to really experience life through their eyes. “It’s quite simply, and perhaps quite profoundly, a chance for one human to understand another.” The Rez Sisters runs Nov. 9-17 at Laura C. Muir Performing Arts Theatre, Douglas College, 700 Royal Ave., New Westminster. Tickets ($8-$12) are available through the Massey Theatre, 604-521-5050. For more info, visit douglascollege.ca.

From left: Langley’s Katherine Hill as Elinor Dashwood, Becky Wiebe as Mrs. Dashwood and Amanda Thiessen as Marianne Dashwood perform a scene in Gallery 7 Theatre’s production of Sense and Sensibility.

It all makes Sense ... and Sensibility

t’s as much about how you love as it is who you love. Jane Austen’s beloved story of the Dashwood sisters, and their very different methods of searching for the right man, is about to come to life on the stage in Abbotsford, as Gallery 7 Theatre presents a classic of English literature, Sense and Sensibility, adapted for the stage by Jon Jory. While Elinor, played by Langley’s Katherine Hill, is enamored by the unassuming and awkward Edward, Marianne (Amanda Thiessen) is swept off her feet by the vivacious Willoughby. When the men’s secret lives are revealed, the sisters must depend on one another for support through their heartache, and discover in the process the balance between what the heart wants and what the heart needs. “Sense and Sensibility explores themes such as love, relationships,

trust, family and coping with loss and rejection,” said Ken Hildebrandt, artistic director of Gallery 7. “These are realities we all encounter. With Austen’s story, we’re forced to face them head-on, to explore and evaluate them, and hopefully be inspired and challenged as a result. Jon Jory has done a great job in creating a highly theatrical and entertaining adaptation, making for a delightful and compelling night of theatre.” The roguish Willoughby is played by Matt Veenbaas, who appeared in last year’s The Importance of Being Earnest. Kenzie Hall, last seen on stage in productions of The Matchmaker and The Outsiders, plays Edward Ferrars and Colonel Brandon is played by newcomer, Josh Reeves. Directing is seasoned director and actor, Sarah Hu.

For Gallery 7, Hu has directed productions of Steel Magnolias and The Family Man, and has appeared on stage in Around the World in 80 Days and The Importance of Being Earnest. Sense and Sensibility runs Nov. 8 to 10, 15 to 17 at 7:30 p.m., with discount matinees on Nov. 10 and 17 at 2 p.m. at the MEI Auditorium, 4081 Clearbrook Rd., Abbotsford. Tickets are $20 adults, $18 seniors (65-plus) and students, $17 groups (10+) and $12 children (12 and under). Matinees are $15 General Admission and $12 children. Season passes are still available at 25 per cent off individual prices and tickets can be purchased at House of James, 2743 Emerson St. in Abbotsford or by calling 604-852-3701.

Average Hourly wage ($)

Wage levels in B.C. are very dependent on the age and skill level of the workers. The graph on this page makes the point. Workers aged 15 to 24, many of whom are relatively new to the workplace, make an average of $13.80 per hour. Those aged 25-54 make an average hourly wage of $25.32, while those 55 and over make slightly more, an average of $25.92. The wage levels reflect the fact that many people 25 and over have found a job that pays high enough wges to allow them to live an independent life, including owning or renting a home, owning a vehicle and establishing a family. Within Langley, it has long been a goal of Langley Township to have enough jobs within the Township to match the working population. This figure has been gradually on the rise, with large-scale industrial developments in places like Gloucester adding significantly to the jobs total within Langley. Additional commercial developments within both the City and Township are also adding jobs. The development of a luxury auto brand mall in Langley City has added good-paying jobs within Langley, and construction activity here is a major job creator. Across B.C., many good-paying jobs are being created in the resources industry. Some of these jobs can’t find enough applicants, as has been widely-publicized with a northern coal mine that wishes to undergo some test mining. Young people wishing to make good wages in the future have options of a wide variety of skills training programs. Some take place within specific industries in the form of apprenticeships, but most involve post-secondary training at institutions like Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Rookie sensation scores award After scoring early in her TWU career, Spartans striker Krista Gommeringer nearly set a school record for points Gary ahuja Times Sports

There was no rookie learning curve for Krista Gommeringer. Three minutes into her first Canada West regular season game, the Trinity Western Spartans first-year striker made an immediate impact, scoring her first goal as she rang onto a long ball, and with a trio of defenders in her wake, buried her breakaway chance. And judging by this season, it is bound to be the first of many in her five years wearing the Spartans blue and gold. “She is a complete forward and the scary thing is, she is only going to get better,” said coach Graham Roxburgh, who added he was not surprised by her instant success. “Because we have known for years how talented she is,” he said. Gommeringer, an 18-year-old from Calgary, went on to score 13 goals and 22 points. The goal tally had her tied for second in the Canada West conference while the 22 points was tops. She also finished just one point back of the school record for single season points, which was set by Carlee O’Brien in 2004. Not surprisingly, Gommeringer was named the conference rookie of the year and a first team all-star. She also scored both goals in Trinity Western’s 2-1 victory over the Victoria Vikes in the Canada West gold medal game on Saturday (see

Scott STEWART/Trinity Western University

Trinity Western Spartans striker Krista Gommeringer (#14) was named the Canada West rookie of the year after a sensational first year which saw her score 13 goals and 22 points in 12 games. page 30). Gommeringer credits her success to her competitiveness. “I was always super competitive, so I always wanted to beat him,” she explained about her sibling rivalry, with older brother Mark, who is four and a half years her senior. Gommeringer showed instant talent when she began playing

the sport. At age six, she was on a U10 team and two years later, she was playing at the U12 level. The trend of playing up an age group continued throughout her teenage years. Roxburgh first saw the talented striker two years at a clinic he was running in Calgary. “She was a piece of our puzzle

that we needed to get,” he said. And since arriving in Langley, Gommeringer has made the most of her opportunity as the Spartans dealt with player losses resulting from graduation and injury. “Krista is just a fantastic player who has fit into how we want to play,” Roxburgh said. “She is a finisher, she is a creator, she has really proven to be an all-around player who has fit in really nicely for us.” The award does not surprise Roxburgh. “She has come into a top league and impacted our team’s ability to generate offence, which was a large contribution to our team’s success this year,” he said. “It has been great to watch her put a stamp on our team and the league this year as she has played an invaluable role for us this season.” As for the transition from club soccer to the university level, Gommeringer said it was near seamless. “It wasn’t too difficult because the way we play here is the way I’ve been taught to play,” she said. “We play possession with a purpose and we don’t just kick and chase and I was used to that.” ••••• In addition to Gommeringer’s award, goalkeeper Kristen Funk won the Canada West studentathlete award (see story below). Both Gommeringer and Funk are the Canada West nominees for their respective awards at the CIS level, with the winners set to be announced tomorrow (Wednesday) in Victoria. The Spartans also earned five of the 11 first team all-star awards, while a sixth was named a second team all-star. Funk and Gommeringer were joined by midfielder Natalie Boyd and fullbacks Jennifer Castillo and Colleen Webber on the first team, while another fullback, Nikki Byrne was a second team selection.

‘A team award’ says coach of the year Gary ahuja Times Sports

Pat Rohla was quick to deflect credit. Rohla was named the Canada West men’s soccer coach of the year on Friday morning. And while it is an honour to receive the accolade, Rohla pointed out that it was in fact a team award. “I think it comes down to two things,” he said. “The coaching staff is unbelievable,” he said, referring to assistants Mike Shearon, Troye Flannery and Paul Ballard. “The other piece of it is you can’t be a coach if you don’t have players who are coachable. “And these guys laid it out this year.” “Coach of the year is only a reflection of the guys you have, that are willing to go out and fight and be coached,” he said. “And the people that you have beside you that you trust and respect and enjoy being around.” With Rohla at the helm, the Spartans finished with a 9-1-4 regular season record continued, PAGE 27

Funk recognized for efforts on and off the pitch Gary ahuja Times Sports

Kristen Funk leaves Trinity Western with not only her name all over the record books, but by having left a mark in the community as well. Funk, a fifth-year goalkeeper for the Spartans women’s soccer team, was named winner of the Canada West student-athlete award. “Working with players like Kristen has been one of the great joys of coaching and she is so deserving of this recognition,” said coach Graham Roxburgh.

In her final season of eligibility, Funk led the conference with 11 victories — nine of which were by shutout — with a goals against average of 0.33 and a save percentage of .895. Funk ends her university career atop the all-time Canada West conference wins list with 43 and second on the shutout list with 30. Last season, she had set the Trinity Western record for career saves. And while she was once again an allstar at the conference level, earning first team honours, Funk was recognized for her contributions away from the pitch. “Kristen is not only one of the best

players in Canada West, she is also someone who has grown immensely in her leadership and desire to care for others,” Roxburgh said. For the past three years, Funk has spent time with the Karen community in Langley, helping out at a local homework club for the refugees. She has also helped organize events for them or just hung out with them as they make the transition to a new country. “It was a shift from doing things for myself to doing things for other people and I really enjoyed it,” she said. “It was very rewarding, very worthwhile.”

“Many of these young kids’ lives have been touched and enhanced, simply because she has been willing to take the time to be with them,” Roxburgh said. “For me, this is as important to her career as the legacy she has left on the field.” The Spartans are in Victoria this week for the CIS national championships, making their fourth appearance in Funk’s five seasons. The team won the championship in both 2008 and 2009 but finished sixth in 2011. Funk has been the team’s main goaltender for her entire Spartans career.

Spartans fall in extra time, finish fourth at Canada West championships from PAGE 26

and a second-place finish in the Pacific Division. Rohla took over as the team’s coach in 2009, but missed the playoffs in his first year. But this was the first year in which Rohla himself had recruited and built the bulk of the team’s starting line-up. The team, which had two rookies on the back-line and a goalkeeper in his first season as

starter, allowed just 12 goals in 14 games and only lost once. “What a great honour for Pat, to be selected by his peers for this prestigious award,” said Trinity Western athletic director Murray Hall. “Pat is a humble person, going about his work with a blue-collar approach, getting the job done, day in and day out.” Rohla, a long-time Langley resident, has also coached both at the high school level — with

Langley Secondary — and with the Vancouver Whitecaps women’s team. He retired from teaching at LSS following last year. Trinity Western also had three players named to the Canada West all-star teams. Midfielder Brayden Gant was chosen for the first team while fullback Brayden Volkenant and striker Jarvis Ambaka were chosen second team all-stars. •••••

After a dramatic penalty kicks victory over the Calgary Dinos, the Trinity Western Spartans men’s soccer team lost their final two games to place fourth at the Canada West championships in Edmonton. The Spartans defeated Calgary 3-2, winning the penalty kicks 9-8, on Friday. But the team lost 3-1 in extra time to the top-seed and host Alberta Golden Bears on Saturday.

In the bronze medal match on Sunday, the Spartans lost 2-1 to the Saskatchewan Huskies. Coach Pat Rohla said by the end his team — playing its third game in three days, including two which went 120 minutes — was simply out of bodies. “We ran out of bodies,” he said. “I’ve never been around a team that was so beat up and continued to try as hard as they did.”

Coaches always talk about a complete 60-minute effort and the Langley Rivermen may have delivered that on Friday night. “We pretty much had all aspects going,” said coach Bobby Henderson. He was referring to his junior A hockey club’s 5-1 victory over the Mainland Division-leading Prince George Spruce Kings at the Langley Events Centre. “(Goalie James) Barr was awesome, our D was solid, we got timely goals, the power play clicked to put the game away and the penalty kill was solid,” he summed up. “I really have no complaints.” Evan Campbell opened the scoring 88 seconds into the game and the team never looked back. Derek Sutliffe added a short-handed goal two minutes later and before the first intermission, Jakob Reichert fired home a wrist shot for a 3-0 advantage. And after Justin Rai got the visitors on the board, Mario Puskarich got that goal back and Mitch McLain scored the home side’s fifth goal in the final period. Langley also hosted the Surrey Eagles on Nov. 1, falling 2-1 in double overtime when Langley Minor Hockey Association product Jordan Klimek buried the winner. Ben Butcher had the lone Rivermen goal while Barr was first star with 32 saves. “I think we deserved better,” Henderson said. “But going to double overtime … we’ll take our point.” Langley improved to 8-7-0-3. The Rivermen are in Chilliwack to face the Chiefs tomorrow (Wednesday) before hosting the Coquitlam Express at the LEC on Saturday.

GranFondo open for business Mass cycling event returns to Fraser Valley on July 21 Gary ahuja Times Sports

Following a successful inaugural event, organizers of the Prospera Valley GranFondo are expecting an even bigger turnout in 2013. While the ride is still nine months away, early bird registration began last week (Nov. 1) with the Canadian Velo Event Management Society holding an official launch for the July 21, 2013 ride. The launch was held at the Fort Langley Historic Site, which will again serve as the starting and finish point for the mass cycling event. Last year saw 1,200 cyclists participate and organizers expect 2,000 riders this time around. One of the changes in next year’s event is the addition of a 50-km PrestoFondo, a shorter ride which will give people who are new to the sport an opportunity to experience the thrill of participating in a new mass road-cycling event.

Krista Gommeringer showed why she won the Canada West rookie of the year award earlier in the week, popping in a pair of goals as the Trinity Western Spartans beat the Victoria Vikes 2-1 to capture their second straight Canada West banner. “We are delighted to win Canada West,” said coach Graham Roxburgh. “It is a great achievement to win it back-to-back because there are great teams and great competition in this league.” Gommeringer scored in the 25th and 68th minutes, respectively, on Saturday night at Trinity Western’s Rogers Field. Victoria Vikes’ Carsen Machin cut the lead to 2-1 in the 75th minute, but that would be all the scoring. Gommeringer’s first goal saw her inter-

Trinity Western Spartans’ Natalie Boyd was named MVP of the Canada West conference championships as the Spartans defeated Victoria 2-1 in the final. cept a Victoria pass between the backline, create some

space and then sent a hard shot past the Vikes’ Stephanie

Parker. Her second goal came after a beautiful pass from midfielder Isabella Di Trocchio to go in alone on the Victoria net. And she made no mistake in burying her second of the game. Victoria got one goal back when Machin connected on a Mallory Hackett corner kick to set up a frantic finish which required Kristen Funk to come up with two of her four saves. Roxburgh said the key this season — the Spartans won the regular season title with a 11-1-0 record — was staying together. “Everybody staying on the same page and realizing they have a crucial role,” he said. Both Trinity Western and Victoria were already assured of spots in this week’s CIS national championships, which the Vikes are hosting in Victoria. “Now the challenge is how, with a very banged up team, do

we win nationals,” Roxburgh said. The Spartans open in the quarter-finals against the Laurier Golden Hawks on Thursday (Nov. 8). Trinity Western is making their fourth appearance at nationals in the past five years, and prior to last year, the Spartans had won the Gladys Bean Memorial Trophy in their previous three trips. ••••• In the Canada West semifinals on Friday, Natalie Boyd and Alicia Tesan struck for second-half goals while Funk made one save for her 11th shutout of the season in a 2-0 win over the Regina Cougars. Boyd was named the Canada West most valuable player. “Natalie’s energy and her competitive spirit, and her work rate, her intelligence and her overall ability on the ball just make her an important player for us,” Roxburgh said.

Lenna was born in Lethbridge Alberta on November 30, 1918 to Mr. and Mrs. W.E Simpson and passed away on October 14 in her ninety-fourth year. She will be lovingly remembered by sisters Kay and Jocelyn, son John (Betts), daughter Norma (Tony), grandchildren Curtis (Michele), Candace (Peter), Ken and Kyle (Kim), John (Carolyn) and Ange (Kevin), 5 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Lenna was predeceased by husband Newell, brothers Bert and Bill, and daughter-in-law Betts. At age 13 Lennaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family moved to West Vancouver where she graduated from high school. She then attended the old Vancouver Normal School obtaining her teaching certificate in 1937. Her first teaching assignment was in Stave Falls and Hatzic where she met and married Newell Manly in 1940. She was to share her life with Newell for 68 years. Wartime service meant that Lenna and Newell were often on the move. Finally, in 1956 they were able to settle down for good. Lenna was still in that same comfortable old Fort Langley home until her accident in August of this year. When her work was done she liked nothing better than to curl up with a book or the NYT crossword, or to putter about in her beloved yard & garden. With her family grown Lenna returned to teaching in 1964 while simultaneously working on her degree (granted in 1972). She loved teaching and, by all accounts, her students loved her. Lenna was an active and faithful member of St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church for 56 years. Following retirement she volunteered as a docent at the Fort Langley museum. Her regular bridge session with a group of long time friends was one of the great joys of her latter years. At age 90 she got a little Mac laptop and was soon comfortable with email and Google. As all her extended family can attest she was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great- grandmother. Those who knew her will not easily forget her. A memorial service will be held at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church, Fort Langley on Saturday, November 10 at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in her name to: Union Gospel Mission 601 E. Hastings St. Vancouver, B.C V6A 1J7

After a long courageous fight Paul lost his battle and quietly passed away while surrounded by his family. Sadly missed by friends and family including his wife of 37 years Sheilah and children Jonathon (Shannon), Sarah (Shane) and Taylor and his mother-in-law Eileen Sleighthom. Special thanks to the staff of the ICU and 2North units at LMH and the home care nurses for their compassionate care over the last 2 years. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quirky sense of humour was well known and will be remembered by all. He loved nature and would sit by his pond for hours enjoying the mountain view while contemplating life and remembering the times he spent with the kids collecting tadpoles. As a Weather Observer at the Abbotsford Airport he spent his days looking at the clouds, now we know he sees the clouds from both sides now. Love you always.

Straight talk for shoppers in Langley Who supports our children’s minor sports teams? Which commercial taxpayers contribute to city improvements? Who offers critical employment to our children and others? Who is most often asked to fund our community events? Which business people form many of our local service clubs? Who advocates for a more vibrant city? Which business leaders volunteer on boards and capital campaigns? Who supports the arts in our community? Who donates and raises funds for the disadvantaged in our community? Who is likely to be your neighbour, a friend, a parent, a tax-payer? It is not the U.S. retailers across the border! Please consider the true price of shopping ‘across the line’.

• The Langley Times • Tuesday, November 6, 2012

We do all the work, so you can just go home.

THE REAL ESTATE MARKET: WHAT HAPPEnED?? Everything was rolling along quite normally through 2012 in the real estate market and then, one day, it changed. What happened? For answers the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board turned to the British Columbia Real Estate Association's Chief Economist, Cameron Muir.

"However," he continues, " the financial crisis was just beginning to bubble to the surface in September 2008: home sales are unlikely to fall to levels recorded October 2008 through January 2009". OK; I guess, 'It's not as bad as 2009' could be considered good news.

Mr. Muir stated, " The fourth round of high-ratio tightening that began in 2008 was implemented in July. All of the credit loosening by the federal government has now been pulled back." So we're back to 2006 in terms of credit availability requirements. Muir further stated," All four rounds of credit tightening have been followed by a marked decline in BC MLS® residential sales within three months. Sales declined by 11 percent within three months following the first round, 25 per cent following the second round, 12 per cent following the third round, and 19 percent after the most recent round."

But finally some better news, Muir "expects unit sales to rebound back to the 10 year average levels over the next few quarters", aided by an increase of the employment rate by 1.9 percent as opposed to last year's 0.8 percent, an increase in the amount of full-time, as opposed to part-time jobs, historically low interest rates, and a net increased flow of 11,500 international migrants into the lower mainland. Not to mention the aforementioned three month decrease in sales after the last round in July 2012. His final statement reads, " I do not know of any reputable economist in Canada that expects a deep recession ahead."

Sounds like the slow-down has actually been going on for a couple of years and no one noticed except, of course, the steely-eyed Chief Economist, Cameron Muir. And now sales are back to 2006 levels because credit conditions have been tightened up to 2006 levels. Mr. Muir went on to state that also, " An unusual spike in high-end detached home sales was not repeated this year", as well as, " A negative spillover from an anemic 0.8 per cent employment growth in B.C. last year may also be exacerbating the lull in consumer demand." So the quiet steps taken by those two fellas with Irish-sounding names (See my earlier column) seems to have done their job, assisted by a low rate of employment growth and a slowdown in high-end detached home sales (Vancouver West). It would seem the actions by the Canadian government and the Bank of Canada have accomplished their stated purpose of cooling off a heated-up real estate market.

So we've had falling sales for about a couple of years now and we are back to housing market conditions similar to what we saw in 2006. From here Mr. Muir expects the volume of house sales to rebound to the '10 year average'. I would add that we have seen housing prices fall through this summer and, eventually, lower house prices will be another factor in increasing home sales. Lower prices are always an attractive incentive to a home buyer and always a disincentive to a home seller. So longer term, markets always correct themselves. And Mr. Muir's prediction is that a slight rebound back to normal in sales volume is coming in 'the next few quarters'. But he said nothing about prices. Stay tuned!

We would like to thank everyone that entered our Halloween Colouring Contest. Congratulations to our Winners, Maggie 8 yrs, Lucas 9 yrs, Devin 12 yrs, Chase 3yrs, nevada 6 yrs, Hunter 3 yrs, & Sierra 4 yrs old.

Does Mr. Muir have any good news for home sellers or home buyers ? Well, maybe. He went on to say, " To date, seasonally adjusted home sales look remarkably like 2008." I thought this was supposed to be good news; that doesn't sound like good news.
