Bottleneck cleared as Port Mann Bridge officially opens Free week a honeymoon before impact of tolls hits on Saturday, Dec. 8 Jeff Nagel Black Press

It’s smooth sailing for Highway 1 commuters between Surrey and Coquitlam this week after the new Port Mann Bridge officially opened Saturday with eight lanes flowing. Drivers raved about the new bridge — and their ability to cross it in record time — after its first big test of weekday conditions on Monday. “The easiest commute in ages,” tweeted Langley motorist Evangel Biaison. “Just crossed the Port Mann during rush hour without bumper to bumper traffic for the first time in my life,” said Twitter user ‘Taj,’ who estimated he saved 20 to 25 minutes. Student Avneet Sidhu said he got to class 30 minutes early because of the bridge. There’s still congestion elsewhere on Highway 1 — the freeway is narrower in Burnaby, where construction will continue through 2013, and long waits were reported heading for the Brunette Avenue exit. But B.C.’s biggest bottleneck has been unplugged. The world’s widest bridge had already been running with the normal five lanes — three eastbound and two westbound — but Saturday’s ceremonial removal of traffic cones opened up three more lanes, instantly transforming traffic conditions.

“After years of waiting, drivers get to enjoy a faster, more efficient commute and will have more time to spend with their family instead of sitting in an idling car,” Premier Christy Clark said at the opening. Port Mann/Highway 1 officials had projected some commutes between Surrey and Coquitlam would fall by two-thirds to just over 10 minutes. The convenience will only be free this week. Starting on Saturday, regular drivers will pay an introductory toll of $1.50 per crossing (more for larger vehicles) and that will increase to $3 by the end of 2013, or by March for drivers who don’t register before then with the TReO electronic tolling system. Frequent users can get an unlimited monthly pass — $75 a month while the half-price toll is in effect rising to $150 in a year’s time. How residents respond to the tolls remains to be seen. There are fears drivers who refuse to pay will then clog the free Pattullo Bridge, Alex Fraser Bridge and even the Massey Tunnel. The northeast section of the South Fraser Perimeter Road is also now open, providing a new link through Surrey to the Pattullo Bridge for motorists seeking a free untolled crossing. But since westbound traffic would have to get on the SFPR at 176 Street, much toll-averse traffic must wend its way through Surrey roads to get to the Pattullo before facing already severe congestion in New Westminster. Some drivers are dead set against having to pay to drive over a bridge and vow to boycott the bridge. continued, PAGE 5

Butcher knife thrown at officer’s chest Cpl. Joel Glen given award of valour for safely arresting violent suspect who confronted him in a confined space from PAGE 1

Other officers joined him at the Langley apartment and when Glen arrived at the unit, the suspect had just bolted from police. While other officers dealt with the distraught victim, Glen decided to go back down the hallway. “I started walking back to the front doors of the apartment when I heard a noise, like something dropping,” said Glen. The noise was coming from behind the door of the apartment stairwell. Glen knew he had to investigate, see if the sound was coming from his suspect. He opened the emergency stairwell door and came face to face with the man who was holding a large cast iron frying pan to his chest and something behind his back. The door was spring-loaded and shutting behind Glen so there was little room between him and this very dangerous man. In those seconds, Glen kept thinking about how much damage a cast iron pan could do. “I normally would never stay that close but it was a confined space. I was very close to him and I had my service pistol out. We squared off, and I was giving him commands to drop the frying pan,” he said. But the crazed man ignored every command Glen yelled. “It felt like 10 minutes but in all reality, it was probably a minute or two,” he said. What happened next is a moment Glen can relive like it happened yesterday. From behind his back, the suspect drew up his arm and threw a large butcher knife at Glen. The blade hit Glen square in the chest. “My bullet proof vest stopped it,” he said. Somehow, as the knife came his way, Glen didn’t shoot the suspect, despite having his gun pointed at the man. Many would say he would have been justified to shoot. He said the moment happened so fast it was hard for him to even process. “I remember thinking, holy cow, this guy just threw a butcher knife at me.” But, as an officer for 15 years, it wasn’t the first time he had confronted someone with a knife or a bat so he made the decision not to pull the trig-

ger, but stand his ground. “It wasn’t the ideal circumstances in that stairwell but I was worried if I backed off, he would get away and hurt someone else.” Glen continued yelling commands, his pistol still drawn. Realizing this man wasn’t going to go down without a fight, Glen holstered his gun and pepper sprayed him. “It had no effect on him. He didn’t even blink,” said Glen. This situation was growing more dire. But at that moment, the man lifted one hand to wipe his eyes, while still holding the pan in the other. Glen took his chance. “I rushed him, tackling him to the ground,” he said. Glen managed to handcuff the man and make the arrest. “The man said he was holding the frying pan to his chest because he thought it would protect him from being shot,” he said. Glen’s bravery that night, and his composure in safely arresting a man who threw a knife at him, led to him receiving an award of valour on Nov. 23 at B.C.’s 32nd annual Police Honours Night at the Government House in Victoria. Even though he was put in a lifeand-death situation, he said he wouldn’t have done anything different that night. “I truly love my job. I’ve wanted to be a police officer since I was little,” said Glen. He said he’s the kind of guy who wants to be inside the yellow tape, not behind it. “I like being part of the solution.” Glen loved his time at the Langley detachment, where he worked from 1997 to 2004, before taking a position with RCMP’s auto crime team IMPACT. He came back to Langley from 2008 to last year. He has since moved to E Division’s major crimes unit, where he monitors sex offenders being released from prison and making sure they are sticking to their conditions. “It’s very rewarding work because these are the real bad guys so you want to keep an eye on them. They don’t always know we are watching them too, which can make for some exciting work,” he said. He also works part-time up in the air, as a tactical site officer for the RCMP’s Air One helicopter. “Like I said, I feel lucky every day to get to do the job I do.”

Open house on bus service tonight TransLink to introduce plan for new 503 Aldergrove express route Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Translink is holding an open house to go over its plan to introduce a new 503 express service to Aldergrove and cut the rural portions of the 502 bus route in 2013. The open house will be held tonight (Tuesday, Dec. 4) in the small gym of Aldergrove Secondary from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. According to TransLink, the reason for changing the service is because the 502 is overcrowded and often passes Aldergrove residents by while the Salmon River segment of the 502 generates very low ridership. The new services will reduce overcrowding and set up for

a faster service for regular commuters from Langley to Surrey and Aldergrove to Langley. The Salmon River segment of the 502 route runs along 248 Street to 56 Avenue to 240 St. to Fraser Highway, but only at 7:30 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 5:50 westbound and 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. eastbound Monday through Friday, with less service on Saturday and nothing on Sundays. Township Councillor Kim Richter questions TransLink’s decisions, considering it just spent unknown amount of dollars making several of the bus stops along the soon-to-be eliminated route wheelchair accessible by raising and levelling the ground around the stops.

Bid for B.C. Fed seat fails Langley resident Michelle Laurie was unsuccessful in her attempt to unseat longtime B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair. At the BC Fed convention last week, Sinclair was re-elected to a seventh term. The labour body has 470,000 members, and Sinclair is a prominent spokesman for labour-related issues.. Laurie, president of local 258 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, ran on a slate with Trevor Davies of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Davies was seeking the secretary-treasurer post. The two were running on a “Renew The Fed” slate. Sinclair took about 70 per cent of the votes cast by the convention’s 2,000 delegates. Laurie and Davies was backed by CUPE, the United Steelworkers and several other unions.

Health Matters

So many people try to counter the effects of poor dietary choices by taking vitamins. In reality, while research demonstrates the benefits of a good diet, the evidence supporting vitamin supplements is not as obvious. Some vitamins can even be toxic if overused – such as vitamin A/beta-carotene. Overuse has been associated with increased risk of lung cancer and bone fractures. A balanced diet does not need to be restrictive or unpalatable. No foods should be banned and if you really want something, such as ice cream, a small serving will not be your undoing. That said, some foods probably should be on your avoid/minimize list: sugary beverages (soft drinks, juices), processed foods with trans fats (cookies, cakes, pastries, donuts) and processed meats (deli style). Chocolate can be a small, healthy part of a balanced diet. Choose dark chocolate (70 per cent cocoa or more) to enjoy the most benefits such as improvement of mild cognitive impairment and

Another guilt-free indulgence is wine – in moderation! Many studies have demonstrated positive effects from wine.

Bateman wants Langley forest saved Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

World renowned wilderness artist Robert Bateman is throwing his support behind saving Langley’s McLellan forest. The B.C. painter toured the forest on Thursday, joined by several other artists, families and members of WOLF (Watchers of Langley’s Forests). Bateman told the media that there is no trade off for eliminating wide-open wilderness. The Township wants to sell the 25-acre forest in Glen Valley and use the money to build a recreation centre in Aldergrove. Bateman remarked that Langley’s recreation centre is “right here” among the ferns and towering cottonwood trees at McLellan forest. He also noted that his middle name is McLellan. The Township has given WOLF until midDecember to come up with the $3 million it will cost to buy the land.

More than half a million vehicles now registered for bridge tolling from PAGE 1

Other observers are more optimistic, saying the province’s decision to offer half-price tolls as well as other incentives to sign up for TReO should ensure many drivers at least try out the system. Tens of thousands of drivers clogged phone lines and the TReO website Friday to get a credit for 20 free trips by a Friday midnight deadline. More than 60,000 new drivers signed up that day and more than 500,000 vehicles are now regis-

tered. The province has promised tolls will come off the bridge in 2050 when the $3.3-billion highway improvement project is fully paid off. But some experts say one of the bridge’s legacies may have been to create a perception of unfair treatment — with tolls applied to bridges in just one part of the region — igniting an ongoing debate about “fair tolling” reforms that could see all major roads eventually tolled.

Drivers won’t have to stop at a toll booth or fumble for coins to pay to cross the new toll bridge once tolling starts Dec. 8. Electronic tolling gantries above the bridge will detect the TReO windshield decal of most frequent users, automatically billing their linked credit card or bank account and sending them a statement at the end of each month. TReO users will get the $1.50 half-price toll for one full year. Those who don’t sign

up for a free decal will be detected by licence plate cameras and billed that way. If they don’t pay within seven days, an invoice will be mailed and they’ll have to pay an extra $2.30 processing fee. Those who refuse to pay will ultimately be denied insurance and licence renewals by ICBC and the province says it has agreements with other provinces and states to recoup unpaid tolls from out-of-province drivers.

Difficult choice

Drive for the conditions

he widened Port Mann Bridge and freeway opened for business Saturday. The real test came Monday, when commuters came back after the weekend lull. All traffic reports stated that there was virtually no line-up to get onto the bridge, something that hasn’t been seen regularly during rush hour since the 1960s. The new bridge is eight lanes wide, up substantially from the five that the old bridge offered. In each direction, there are three lanes for regular traffic, and one for buses and car pools. For the first time ever, commuters from this side of the river who carpool are being rewarded. The freeway widening project is not yet complete north of the river, and there will be line-ups for commuters in many spots from Coquitlam through to Vancouver. That’s the main reason the bridge toll is being set at $1.50 for cars for the first year, for those who register by Feb. 28, 2013. The new 555 express bus service from the Carvolth Park and Ride to Braid SkyTrain station has also started operating, and it will be interesting to see how many people will use it. The frequency of buses is not as initially promised, nor does it stop in Surrey, but it will be frequent during rush hours. Pay parking will go into effect at the lot within a few months. The big test of the Port Mann project will come Saturday, when the tolling begins. As there are 20 free trips for those who registered with TrEO by Nov. 30, traffic volumes likely won’t change too much in December. However, it is almost certain that there will be more drivers heading to the Pattullo Bridge when tolling begins, especially as the South Fraser Perimeter Road (now known as Highway 17) is open from 176 Street to an area close to the Pattullo. Langley residents who regularly use Highway 1 will have to make a choice — avoid the tolls and get stuck in the lineup for the Pattullo, or use the Port Mann, pay the toll and get to their destinations more quickly. The same option will face drivers from north of the Fraser who commute here for work. Neither option is very desirable, but there aren’t many others. The bus service will only serve a few people at this point in time, and is of little use to those who commute here, given the minimal number of available connections. The next few months will be a key test period for bridge users.

quick look outside will tell you we’re tightly in the grip of a West Coast fall. That means rain. Lots of it. And darkness – late into the morning and earlier in the afternoon. It’s a dangerous time of year. For motorists, and especially for pedestrians. Statistics from ICBC show almost a third of pedestrian collisions involving injuries or fatalities occur in November, December and January. A little common sense would go a long way to reducing those numbers. Like wearing bright clothing, ideally with a reflective strip or two, so motorists can distinguish you through the gloom. Cross streets using marked, and preferably lit, crosswalks. Motorists peering into the darkness through rain-slicked windshields are already coping with a lot – faded and swamped lane markings, the glare from oncoming headlights. The last thing they’re ready for is a dark figure bolting from the shadows across their path. When walking along the shoulder, where there are no sidewalks, face oncoming traffic. Drivers can also do their part to improve safety during these dark, rainy months. Ensure your windshield wipers are doing their job. Check that all the lights on your vehicle are working, and that the headlights are aimed properly so they don’t blind oncoming cars or pedestrians. When driving in difficult conditions, use the low beams, as the high beams will just reflect the rain or fog, actually making it harder to see. Check your tire tread. Worn tires will take longer to stop, and are more likely to hydroplane. Most importantly, slow down and drive according to the conditions. — Burnaby News Leader (Black Press)

Two-pronged attack on education Editor: The BC Liberals’ have mounted a two-pronged attack on public education. Over 1,300 delegates at the BC Federation of Labour convention last week supported an education report, vowing to fight for proper funding of public education and for the defeat the Liberal government. Last March, we saw a three-day strike to oppose lack of funding and Bill 22, punitive legislation aimed at breaking the teachers’ union by imposing fines on them and individual members. B.C. Federation brothers and sisters stood alongside teachers, with 10,000 marching in Victoria. Nonetheless, the bill was rammed through, despite a Supreme Court ruling finding the Liberals in violation of teachers’ charter rights to free collective bargaining. Since then, teaching conditions have

worsened, shortchanging our children. Many classrooms have five or more identified students who need but get limited support. Without a doubt, class size, composition and specialist ratios must be improved this spring after a decade of cuts. In addition, the government’s New Education Plan, crafted without teacher representation from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, must be halted. The plan’s mantra “personalized learning” at first glance sounds progressive. The parent, the classroom teacher and the child will formulate a plan which will take the child’s interests into account. The reality is, since resources are limited, it is a daunting task and it opens the way for public education to be outsourced to private educational companies, who will take away the teaching from teachers, and replace it with educational software.

Children’s wellbeing will be jeopardized. Medical research has shown the negative effects of too much technology and at an early age. The plan is an underhanded scheme, allowing the ministry to minimally test and identify, so it can de-categorize special needs students. Shamefully, this will limit targeted funding, special education, learning support teachers, psychologists, counsellors or smaller classrooms. These are cheaper solutions to ultimately sabotage education, not improve it. We need leadership that cares about our most vulnerable students, equity in education and equity in society. That is what unions fight for. We need a new government to end this attack, bring in the right changes and invest in our future by funding public education. N. Patsica, Surrey

Crosswalk is dangerous for pedestrians Editor: I was walking down 201A Street towards the townhouses in the 5200 block. I set foot into the crosswalk expecting cars to stop, yet there are no lights or markers indicating that this was a crosswalk. As I stepped out, the driver of a car slammed the brakes on and skidded through the intersection. Fortunately, I knew this crosswalk was not properly lit up and I stopped in my tracks. Had I continued further, I would most likely be severely injured or worse, dead.

There are a lot of young families around this area, and if people aren’t able to see a tall man walking, I can only imagine what’s going to happen next. I have stated my grievance to Langley City hall, asking that the City put up proper flashing lights or markers that indicate a crosswalk. The intersection in question is 201A Street at 53 Avenue. My three-year-old son is almost able to get out of the front door at any time of the day. I do not want a crosswalk that

isn’t indicated as such. My demand is to put up proper flashing lights at this crosswalk so that no one gets killed. Otherwise, just get rid of it, since it’s really not a crosswalk and more of a death trap. The question is not if, but when. And when it happens, it would be a tragedy. This is not for my sake, but for the sake of young kids who use this crosswalk, as there is a school nearby. Mitchell Dedrick, Langley

Township makes life complicated for residents Editor: On Monday, Township council was reconsidering the fate of rural land, specifically the Wall property. Clearly this is a tremendous idea for the developers but judging by the number of concerned citizens, the overall benefit to Langley is questionable. I have watched (and occasionally opposed) Langley Township council endorse growth in the Township for 30 years now. I have also observed it coincides with commute times of two to three times those of 30 years ago. And there are ever-increasing taxes to help pay for more traffic lights. This does not include additional fees and hidden gas taxes.

Recently council approved the highdensity Forewest project. I know this will add to my carbon footprint as I try to find a new route to navigate around Langley, in an attempt to minimize my commute. Several years ago, I toured Yorkson and wondered why all the houses had suites but no additonal parking. Read the letter in The Times (Nov. 20) and you will see the distress this oversight has caused the residents of Yorkson. Subdivision is always great for the developer, and the rewards easily justify sending representatives to council meetings.

But do not forget the silent majority who are too busy with family and work to attend or even consider the ramifications of poorly-planned development. I ask that council seriously consider the thoughts of Lauren Kim: “Langley: A good place for a good life.” We all know rezoning is a very easy and quick way to create wealth for the select few — but is it really good for residents of Langley? I hope your decision is in harmony with those of Lauren and the residents of Langley Township. Lorne Danielson, Langley

Stories can help students learn better Editor: Is there a place for stories in Western education? Based on my experiences as a student and a teacher-in-training, I unfortunately have seen this method used very rarely in our school system. This semester, I have had the opportunity to learn about a new way of using stories from several leaders within the aboriginal communities of B.C. I have learned that verbal story-telling has been one of the dominant methods of transferring meaning, history, and culture within indigenous people groups for centuries. The first peoples of Canada have mastered this art — for an art it surely is — and I am quickly realizing that story-telling has much to offer both the students and the teachers of B.C. So, then, what is the benefit to telling stories? Stories give people of all ages a context and point of connection. They place information in a world filled with characters and things and feelings. On another level, good stories are captivating and enchanting. They will hold a student’s attention for much longer than a stock science or social studies lesson. My thoughts? Tell your children and students stories. Let them create stories and tell them to you. Why not? Our children’s imaginations could use some airtime, and this might be just the place to start.

Township needs to respect land commission, Metro Vancouver

Editor: I am writing to express my firm opposition to the manner in which the Township of Langley is conducting itself in the matter of the Wall property and the Trinity Western University expansion. I urge the Township to heed

the direction of the Metro Vancouver board and the Agricultural Land Commission and to respect the previous Regional Growth Strategy. To approve the Wall development in any form other than that which has

been approved by the ALC is irresponsible and puts us all at risk. The only ones who will gain will be the Wall family and other immediate land owners. TWU and the taxpayers of Langley

deserve better leadership than this. Council members need to show us they can do the right thing and stop pursuing this development expansion. Barbara Ydenberg, Langley

SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS WORKING TOGETHER FOR STUDENT SUCCESS

Staff and Students Demonstrate 21st Century Learning

What belongs in your Neighbourhood Learning Centre?

During the two most recent Regular Board Meetings, students and staff have introduced trustees to some of the fantastic ways in which technology is being used to facilitate learning throughout the District.

School District No. 35 seeks input on possible community uses and services. The Willoughby slope area will be home to two new Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC) spaces, with more to come as additional schools are built. NLCs are intended to serve the entire local community and not just the families who attend the schools that house them. The goal is for schools and community organizations to partner together to create inviting places where people of all ages can access education, community services, recreation and culture every day throughout the year.

Teachers from Langley Secondary School took some time to demonstrate the educational social media platform Edmodo, and the practical ways in which they make use of it as a tool for collaboration and sharing with colleagues, students and parents. Subsequently, staff and students from West Langley Elementary presented some of their learning experiences with iPads and shared some iBooks stories the students had created to educate their peers on the importance of going green.

Within each of the new South East Yorkson area school and Lynn Fripps Elementary, there are two types of NLC spaces; shared rooms that are available for rent based on availability (i.e. gym, multipurpose room, etc.) and leasable space that is available for a long term service provider. We invite you to share your thoughts on the types of services and uses you would like to see within our new Neighbourhood Learning Centres by visiting: http://bit.ly/NLCFeedback Additional thoughts or questions may also be sent via SEYorksonfeedback@sd35.bc.ca

Kindergarten Registration All children who will be five years old by December 31, 2013 are eligible to register for the Kindergarten program that begins in September 2013. Registration for Kindergarten will take place Monday, January 21, 2013.

West Langley Elementary students use their iPads to demonstrate 21st Century Learning in action.

The following documents are required at the time of registration:

South East Yorkson Area Elementary Catchment Approved

• Proof of age (Birth Certificate) • Proof of Canadian Citizenship or Permanent Resident Status must be provided for both student and parent (Canadian Birth Certificate, Canadian Passport, Canadian Citizenship Card, Landed Immigrant documentation, Permanent Resident documentation/cards)

The Board received a report from Assistant Superintendent Gord Stewart outlining feedback received through the District’s community engagement process regarding the proposed catchment boundaries for the new South East Yorkson area elementary school. Based on the information received, the Board formally approved the Catchment Boundaries for the new school and associated adjustments to the boundaries for Willoughby Elementary as presented at the Regular Board Meeting of September 25, 2012. Visit sd35.bc.ca/newschools for a copy of the report and catchment map.

Bruce Waugh (above) and his sculpting partner David Dureault are the master minds behind the snow sculpter built outside the Douglas Recreation Centre for Christmas celebrations. Using snow from Twin Rinks, it took the pair six hours to build the melting structure. Waugh, who is a painting contractor by trade, has been building ice sculpters, sand castles and massive pumpkin carvings as a hobby since the late 1980s.

Aldergrove trolley service coming

Miranda Gathercole Times Reporter

When a trolley purchased by the Aldergrove Trolley Company Society was deemed unusable for service, the organization decided to get creative. The bright red historical vehicle will be stripped down and cut up into nine unique bus shelters for the new trolley transit line in Aldergrove. With the final preparations for the project now being made, trolley services could begin as soon as January, Dave Miller, executive director of the Aldergrove Trolley Company,

told Township council Nov. 19. The new bus route has been drafted and bus stop locations are still being decided, he said. The trolley system will be divided into a northern route and a southern route, both beginning and ending at Extra Foods on 272 Street. The northern route will go along 32 Avenue to 264 Street and up to Gloucester Estates, where it will circle around and come back down 272 Street to Extra Foods. The southern route will proceed down 272 Street to Pioneer Park, out to zero Avenue and up 248 Street to Fraser Highway. The bus will then go

to Save-On Foods, downtown Aldergrove and Safeway before coming back to Extra Foods. Discussions with local businesses are ongoing to determine where exact bus stops will be located, but approximate locations include the Greater Vancouver Zoo, Freybe Gourmet Foods, Otter Co-op, Save-On Foods and Safeway. With TransLink already on board, the organization intends to apply for a business licence in the new year and start operations shortly after.

Parents scramble for funds as school without playground

BOOK NOW for your holiday party or family gathering.

Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Parents and students at Alex Hope Elementary school are hoping Santa will come through with one big Christmas gift for their school. If the jolly St. Nick doesn’t come through with a $100,000 new playground, the Parents Advisory Committee is going to have to hold a lot more craft fairs, movie nights, kids’ markets and poker nights to come up with the cash. Primary students have been without a playground since the start of the school year, after Township inspectors condemned the equipment in September. A blue fence stood around the playground until it was taken away last week. “It surprises people that the onus is on the parents to come up with the money if they want to replace a playground,” said PAC president Karen Moore. “Everyone thinks that the school district would make sure playgrounds are at every school, but it just isn’t the case.” The provincial government handed out funds this year to replace aging playgrounds throughout B.C. In Langley, Simonds Elementary was given $80,000 to replace their equipment. The PAC at Alex Hope was totally taken off guard that the Township would condemn the playground, leaving students

Alex Hope Elementary PAC president Karen Moore and her sons, Tanner, 12, Michael, 9, and Ryan, 7, stand where their playground once was. in the younger grades with no play structures, save some swings and a small climbing wall. “They have adapted. I will give them that. They play hide and go seek and tag now,” she said. But with 90 full-time Kindergarten students having nothing to play on for recess, it isn’t a good situation. “It’s a full school too, with 540 kids,” she said. Moore wants to see a new playground put in before the end of the school year. It all started when the PAC asked maintenance to fix a lifted board on the swing bridge portion of the playground. That inspection led to the 20-year-old structure

deemed unsafe for kids to play on. What complicates the matter is the structure is actually on Township land, inside the grounds of “Alex Hope Park.” Langley Township has offered $5,000 towards it but hasn’t wanted to come to the table with more, Moore said. PAC has held a movie night, sold Entertainment books, held fairs, raised money through hockey tickets and are planning a poker night for Jan. 26. SuperSave donated $10,000 and Great Canadian Dollar store donated $1,300. But they continue to look for other sponsors and if you would like to take part in the poker tournament, call the school.

H E R I TA G E M E AT S It’s more than just quality meats, it’s a passion. Say goodbye to preservative-packed deli meats at box grocery stores and say hello to wholesome, organic products from Heritage Meats. At this butchery you will find non-medicated fresh meats, homemade salads and more. This is real food made fresh daily with real ingredients. Not pre-bought and pre-packaged supplements you see on box store shelves. Owners Eugene Vandenberg and Eleanor Cox have combined their passion for cooking and small business to bring you the best selection of healthy organic meats in the area. With 25 years experience in the butchery and culinary industry, they have the knowhow and means to bring you superior products. All of their meats are locally sourced and prepared by hand on-site. With a touch of love here, and a dash of spice there it’s just like home cooking. And with no nitrates, preservatives, or msg you are getting the freshest products in their healthiest forms. Let Eleanor and Eugene share their passion in the kitchen with your family at home. All of the beef at Heritage Meats is dry aged, giving it that melt-in-you-mouth quality. What a difference in taste! And

with no nitrates or pre-medication, it will satisfy your body as well. “I can’t stomach those foods with all those preservatives in them,” said Eleanor. “And everything that I make for my customers, I eat myself.” Their homemade salads only have a shelf life of three days, versus large supermarkets where their ordered in, pre-packaged salads will last 30 days. Eleanor says its because of all of the preservatives packed into them- extra ingredients, that just aren’t healthy. Now you really can have your cake and eat it too! Where else will you find healthy products with such a great taste? Come in and browse their selection of cheeses from around the world, fresh made dips, chicken penne, and lasagna. How about ribs cooked right on-site, or pepperoni hand made by Eugene? Or how about trying what real bacon tastes like? You will never want to go back! “In our eyes it’s worth all the time you put into this for the quality that you get,” said Eugene. “You just can’t beat it.” It’s more than just quality meats, it’s a passion.

City ponders naming options for its system of trails Several nameless paths could soon have proper names Brenda anderson Times Reporter

From ‘Dragon Eyes’ to ‘Serenity’ to ‘Rover,’ the City of Langley’s Parks and Environment Advisory Committee had some fairly unusual names to consider when it took a look at its park trail system last month. At the moment, there are several nameless paths winding through Langley City green spaces, designated only by a number. But if the committee has its way, five of those trails will be given proper names — ones chosen to better reflect their use or location. The suggestions presented by

the committee and endorsed by council at its Nov. 19 meeting include officially naming what is known as the dog offleash park, Dog Park Loop. Other suggestions that were considered were Sunbright Trail and Rover Trail. In recommending a name for the path that runs from Grade Crescent to the Hydro right of way, the committee considered Serenity Trail and Dragon Eyes Trail, before settling on Pleasantdale Creek Trail. The committee recommended that Trail 3, which runs north of 48 Avenue, just west of 208 Street be named City Park Trail. Anderson

Trail was also considered. Meanwhile, the green space linking 48 Avenue and the Hydro ROW west of 202 Street, could have become Sendall Nature Trail, but the committee settled instead on Muckle Creek Trail. Brydon Lagoon Nature Trail was settled upon with no other contenders.

However new trail signs are not being printed up just yet. Before the names become official, they will go to a Committee of the Whole at an upcoming council meeting, where the public will get a chance to weigh in on the suggestions or offer their own ideas, said City CAO Francis Cheung.

Once new trail names are officially adopted, uniform signage will be created. That likely won’t happen until spring, when new specifications are adopted in the City’s Master Parks, Culture and Recreation Plan, which is currently being updated, said Cheung.

Currently known simply as Trail 6, this forested path could be renamed Pleasantdale Creek Trail for the waterway it follows. It runs between Grade Crescent and the Hydro Right of Way.

Boundaries set for South Yorkson Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

New school boundaries have been drawn for the South Yorkson elementary school, set to open September 2013. Last week (Nov. 25), the board of education unanimously passed the new catchment area which will go from the intersection of 208 St. and 80 Ave., east to 216 St. and 80 Ave., north to freeway, east to Glover Road, down to Mufford Crescent, to the Willoughby Connector, and back up 208 St. The new catchment means the boundaries for Willoughby Elementary have been redrawn and are effective fall 2013 as well. The new boundaries aren’t going to make everyone happy, with some homes no longer in the catchment for Willoughby Elementary. Those already attending the school but who no longer fit in the boundaries will be grandfathered. Trustee Alison McVeigh wanted it made clear that after these boundaries are set, no cross boundaries will be accepted. Around 150 parents turned out to a public consultation meeting held last month. Around 100 people offered feedback online. “The positive feedback we

Many who attended wanted to know if Willoughby is going to close. “It’s not going to close. It may relocate,” said Stewart. Some feedback included confusion on how the bussing will work. He said that information will come. He said the boundaries could be redrawn again if the Ministry of Education agrees to

fund a new elementary for the Willoughby slope. “We asked for a new school in our capital plan but we have no idea if we will get it,” he said. “Everyone was very respectful in the process but the growth of Willoughby has created some divisions within this community so we are hoping with the transition there will be harmony in the future,” said Stewart. The new K-5 school currently under construction at 20965 77A Ave., will house 450 students plus 60 full-time Kindergarten.

Jack and Debbie Froese are the owners and founders of JD Farms Specialty Turkey, a family-run producer of specialty turkeys located in the beautiful Fraser Valley at Langley, BC, Canada. Jack and Debbie grew up on farms in the Fraser Valley and continued their farming tradition with the purchase of their present farm in 1979. For over thirty years, JD Farms Specialty Turkey has been offering a diverse range of nutritious and wholesome meal solutions in the traditional country-style deli and bistro, as well as supplying whole turkeys to families and retailers in the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley regions. In 2011 Jack ran and was elected Mayor of the Township of Langley. He has since stepped back from the business of running JD Farms and his son Jason has taken over as General Manager. As well, their Daughter Jennifer works in the office and the store and their eldest daughter, Marilyn comes by to help out occasionally. Turkeys at JD Farms are fed a natural diet of grain, vitamins and minerals without any medications or animal by-products. The turkeys are raised in spacious, well-ventilated barns with free access to fresh water and a constant supply of fresh feed. Each turkey must pass a stringent certification program which ensures that customers only receive the very best. JD Farms is a constant partner in the local community, enthusiastically participating in numerous local activities and festivals including the Langley Canada Day celebration and BBQ on the Bypass, as well as hosting their very own JD Farms Fall Festival where they raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation. It is this community involvement that JD Farms prides itself on and will continuously pursue to ensure that the local citizens and community on a whole grow, prosper, and receive the support and recognition it deserves.Twitter too!

Training is available in a variety of formats from equally as varied sources of providers. Basic eligibility requirements – micro-business owners who have less than 5 employees and no post-secondary education, or other recognized certification. I strongly urge our members who fit these criteria, consider taking advantage of this great opportunity. We have been advised that a number of area businesses are currently going through the process or have submitted an application. Contact the Chamber office at 604-530-6656 for information on how to apply and take advantage of this new program. I am extremely happy to announce that it is finally official – I was delighted to participate with Minister Yamamoto in a special announcement advising that the final municipality has passed a motion to implement a pilot InterMunicipal Business License that will allow businesses to operate in 9 Fraser Valley municipalities. This will open the market for area businesses from Surrey to Hope, and provide residents of the region access to more goods and services. The pilot project starts in January and we will look forward to watching our members avail themselves of this initiative that is significantly reducing red tape. During November we launched the Business Development Book Club. The group meets weekly to review and discuss specified chapters in business related books, and to share ideas to address challenges. You might describe this as a form of member-to-member

mentoring and networking. Watch the Chamber Updates for announcement of the next book early in the New Year, and consider joining. Also in January, the Chamber’s U40 Young Professionals Monthly Mingles will commence. The purpose for this program is to provide an opportunity for emerging and experienced members of the business community to get together and network. Another purpose for the U40 is to engage young entrepreneurs in the community and encourage succession to Chamber involvement. Commencing in January the group will meet at a member venue from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for complimentary appetizers and beverages, networking and door prizes. Watch for notices and registration information in our social media, Chamber newsletter and on our website. The Township of Langley recently hosted an Economic Forum to discuss future development and investment opportunities. The Langley’s are very fortunate in that there is currently a higher rate of investment and business coming into our communities than other parts of the province. While 75% of the land in the Township is within the Agricultural Land Reserve, the 200th Street Corridor will produce a number of opportunities in the near future that will change the look of Langley significantly and provide more destination markets to compliment the Downtown and Wil-

On that note, as the holidays approach, I know some of you are incredibly organized and have actually started your Christmas shopping. I want you to think about where you are spending your money this year while some of you may be sitting in your car waiting to cross the border. I want you to keep a couple of things in mind – buying locally keeps wealth circulating in our community. It is estimated that for every dollar spent locally, that same dollar will be spent another 5 times before it leaves our community. Imagine how much business we are losing each time someone buys something outside of the country. Shopping locally supports the character of Langley. Langley’s friendly and diverse atmosphere is created by the people and the businesses that work here. Our distinctive shops and services contribute significantly to our quality of life in Langley, it is who we are. Shopping local keeps these businesses here and I for one, do not want to wake up one day and have no choice. Shopping local increases our tax base. When you support and invest your day-to-day dollar in Langley, you are contributing to our tax base which improves the services we all benefit from. No local business means higher taxes for everyone. I read recently that money is like blood. It needs to keep moving around to keep the economy going. I encourage you to do your part to keep the economy flowing in Langley. On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff, we wish you all the best for the Holiday Season and a prosperous New Year! Angie Quaale, President

Library is ‘Live and on Tour’ Smitty Miller and ‘Lili’ are making the rounds, reconnecting residents with the library and all that it has to offer Brenda anderson Times Reporter

It’s lunchtime on a Friday, and music is blasting in the courtyard outside the Gateway of Hope’s dining room. From Hedley to Fun, all the latest pop tunes fill the small outdoor space as people file into the Langley City homeless shelter for a warm meal on a cold and rainy afternoon. The source of the loud music is a charcoal grey Nissan Cube parked at the far corner of the patio. Decorated with an orange, blue and green wrap that advertises the Cube for what it is — the Fraser Valley Regional Library’s ‘Live and On Tour’ vehicle — Lili (short for Library Live) is customized with an estimated $25,000 in donated bells and whistles. The powerful stereo system, flat screen TV, xbox gaming system and lights are all designed to attract people — specifically young people — explained Smitty Miller, the FVRL’s community development librarian or, as it says on her business card, “Tour Manager.” “It’s not the first time a library has done community development, but it’s the first time (anyone has done it) in a hot rod car,” she laughed. Miller, a Langley resident, was hired by the FVRL to connect with that segment of the region’s 700,000 people who have either never used or, for whatever reason, lost touch with their local library. Without enough grant money to build a traditional bookmobile, however, Miller had to think smaller and smarter. If she was unable to bring the library to people, then maybe she could find a way to get out and help people to reconnect with their local library. In Lili, Miller travels around the 15 communities served by the FVRL — from Boston Bar and Yale in the Fraser Canyon, to Delta at the mouth of the river — attending community events and stopping at places, such as the Gateway of Hope, where she is most likely to encounter the people she’s tasked with finding. At each stop, she is able to give out a collection of brand new books (purchased with grant money), issue library cards and officially forgive any fines that might be hanging over people’s heads, preventing them from using the library. The lowered access cards that Miller (who is joined whenever possible by a local librarian) issues, permit the holder to take out five items at a time, rather than the 60 that a full card member is allowed. The difference is that the holder does not have to provide proof of address. Today, the majority of that activity happened while clients were waiting for the doors to the dining room to open. With the help of a staff member from Langley City library, 12 community cards were issued and several fines wiped away — including one for almost $40. “A guy came up to me and said I’ve got nine movies (that are overdue),” said City Councillor Gayle Martin, who represents the municipality at both the Gateway of Hope and Metro Vancouver. It was knowing that he owed money

Smitty Miller, community development librarian with the Fraser Valley Regional Library, brought Lili, a Nissan Cube featuring $25,000 worth of upgrades, to the Gateway of Hope shelter in Langley City on Friday. During her visit, 12 library cards were issued, several fines were wiped clean and more than 75 free books were given out.

they can not only surf the web, but download books, magazines and even music for free — all they need is any type of e-reader (with the exception of a Kindle). “We’re modern, but we do a bad job of letting people know,” Miller said. Of course, the library offers scores of free programs as well, from author readings to seminars, children’s programs to art critiques. At its heart, though, will always be the books — rows and rows of shelves, stacked with thousands of volumes that can teach a reader a new skill, fill their head with fantastic tales or instill a mountain of historical facts. “A book has a lot of emotional meaning,” Miller said. “The memories can reconnect you with good associations — something you loved as a kid.” On this single visit, Miller has broken a major record, she announced. She has managed to give away every one of the between 75 and 100 brand new books she brought along. “This is just crazy good,” she smiled, gesturing around her. “I’m so happy.” To learn more about Lili and the FVRL’s community development program, go to libraryliveandontour.com.

Horsing Around with artist Vivian Harder Kurt Langmann Black Press

One of the completed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horsing Around Langleyâ&#x20AC;? horse statues was unveiled last week at Thunderfoot Studio. Artist Vivian Harder was commissioned by the Township of Langley to paint one of seven life-sized fibreglass horses, with a theme of scenes from rural Langley. Her design features farm life, flowers, vineyards, hot air balloons, cyclists, trees, river activity, and more, all wrapped in white ribbons. The ribbons, explained Harder, symbolize the oftenweaving roads of rural Langley. The Horsing Around Langley project is the brainchild of Carla Robin, who helped win a provincial cultural grant in connection with the B.C. Summer Games hosted by Langley last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a seed project, to raise funds for the Langley Arts Council. They bought seven horse â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;blanksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which were then sold for $10,000 apiece to sponsors,â&#x20AC;? said

Kurt LANGMANN/Black Press

South Langley artist Vivian Harder unveiled her painted horse for the Horsing Around Langley art project at her Thunderfoot Studio in south Aldergrove last week. Harderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sculpture is one of seven commissioned by the Township of Langley. Harder. Artists were then invited to submit their ideas for painting the horse blanks, which were juried. Harder estimates that she has put in 200 hours over six weeks to paint her horse, and receives a small honorarium for

her work, but most of the money goes to the arts council. As for the horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installation in the community, Harder says she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know its ultimate destination, but it, along with the other six horses, will be put on display at Willowbrook Mall in

January and February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will all be clear-coated for outdoor display, and mounted on bases for their installations.â&#x20AC;? For more on Harderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio visit her website at thunderfootstudio. com or call for an appointment to view: 604-856-4433.

Hot and cool jazz at TWU The holiday season heats up with another cool night of jazz, courtesy of TWU’s School of the Arts, Media and Culture. On Dec. 5, SAMC Music’s Jazz Combo will have some fun as the 14 versatile members rearrange into different sized combos throughout the evening. Come along for a wild ride, from an intimate improvisation on My Funny Valentine, to the lush eight-piece ensemble on Pat Metheny’s The Way Up, from harp and double bass duo to saxophone quartet, from Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington through to John Coltrane and Donny McCaslin. “This is our most ambitious program and most experienced group of players yet,” said SAMC Music professor Jeff Warren, who directs the Jazz Combo. “Hearing these musicians play is more than an opportunity to hear great tunes, you get to watch them improvise and create new music on the spot.” Come early to get a seat. Date/Time: Dec. 5, 7:30 p.m. Place: Instrumental Music Hall, TWU Music Building Admission by donation ($5 suggested)

Small Wonder opening at Fort Gallery Consider it an opportunity to give one-of-a-kind gifts this holiday season. Small, original works by 20 contemporary artists from across the Lower Mainland, will be available at Fort Langley’s Fort Gallery, beginning on Dec. 5. as the gallery once again presents Small Wonder. The annual seasonal group exhibit will be on display until Dec. 23, with an opening reception at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7.

The artwork will be hung salon style, meaning that if a work is purchased, it comes down, is taken away by its new owner, and a new work is put up in its place. If you come on Dec. 5, you will see one exhibition, but if you come a week later, you might see a very different one, filled with new works. The show will feature paintings, glassworks, ceramics, and greeting cards. A visual treat, it is also a great

place to find a unique gift for seasonal giving. The public is invited to meet the artists and join in the celebration during the opening reception on Dec. 7 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at 9048 Glover Rd. in Fort Langley. The Fort Gallery is open Wednesdays to Sundays, noon to 5 p.m. Fort Gallery is located at 9048 Glover Rd. in Fort Langley. Call 604888-7411 or visit www.fortgallery.ca.

Ten tips for celebrating a greener Christmas W

hether you are looking at your own ecological footprint or that of your community, chances are it gets a whole lot bigger during the Christmas season. If the message of Christmas is peace and love, including love for the planet God gave us, there must be ways to make it greener. Here are 10 tips: 1. Green your Christmas tree. If you buy a real Christmas tree, make it a live one to be planted later or have it chipped for a good cause. If you have an artificial tree, keep it for many years! 2. Think before you shop. In this world where newer, more and bigger is supposed to be better, stop and think about what your family members and friends really need rather before you shop. Also buy gifts that will help them help the earth. 3. Give gifts for the planet. There are many opportunities to give to the environment and/or the less fortunate on our planet.

‘Everyone should have a chance to win at life’: Williams Gary ahuja Times Sports

The Special Olympics means the world to Matthew Williams. That was the message he delivered as the keynote speaker at the Langley Sport Celebration on Thursday night (Nov. 29) at the Langley Events Centre. “Everyone should have a chance to win at life, and Special Olympics gives us that chance,” he told the crowd, which was assembled to honour some of Langley’s top sporting accomplishments of the past year. The Township will be hosting the B.C. provincial Special Olympics Games this July. “I invite you all to come out to

the Special Olympics and see the determination, we Special Olympics athletes have, in being the best we can be,” he said. “You will see amazing support for each other and pure joy in sport competition.” Williams was born with epilepsy and had surgery when he was in Grade 1 to help control the seizures, which are now under control with medication. He loved sports growing up and played organized hockey until he was 10 when he had to give it up. “As much as I loved being on the team, it was hard to keep up,” Williams said. “I was embarrassed and frustrated. I was sad to give up

hockey, but it has become too difficult to participate.” With no organized sports to play, Williams said he felt left out and sad. But in Grade 8, a teacher introduced Williams to Special Olympics. “It has become a huge part of my life and given me so many opportunities,” he said. “This makes me feel very good about myself; I love going to practices and competitions and being able to be myself, without being judged by others.” Through Special Olympics, Williams also became involved with public speaking and that has led to his becoming a global messenger for the organization. That role entails him to speak on behalf of

the organization about how much it helps the athletes. Williams has also attended the Special Olympics World Summer Games — he went to Athens in 2011 — and will compete in South Korea in February. ••••• Among the other athletes and events that were highlighted at the celebration were: • Dorothy Ludwig and Braedon Dolfo, who attended the Olympic and Paralympic Games, respectively, this summer in London. • David Esworthy, who was enshrined into the BC Sports Hall of Fame. • Prospera Valley GranFondo • Langley Gymnastics Foundation

Rivermen down Grizzlies, fall to ’Dawgs Gary ahuja Times Sports

The Langley Rivermen may not have gotten the desired result on Saturday night, but they at least laid the foundation for a victory the next afternoon to earn a weekend split on Vancouver Island. “Saturday was a baby step and on Sunday, it was a big step forward,” said Rivermen coach Bobby

Henderson. His junior A hockey club dropped a 4-3 decision to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Saturday night, squandering a missed penalty shot and a pair of 5-on-3 power plays in the game. But the next afternoon in Victoria, Langley was good from the opening whistle and delivered a 5-1 win over the Grizzlies. “( James) Barr made a couple of key saves early

and the guys fed on that and built from there,” Henderson said. “After that, we carried the play the whole game.” The victory ended a five-game losing streak for Langley. Mario Puskarich scored twice, while James Robinson, Evan Anderson and Austin Azurdia had the other goals for Langley. Barr made 34 saves and only gave up the one goal.

The previous game in Port Alberni saw the Rivermen fall behind 20 seconds into the contest and then 3-0 just three minutes in. Nathan Craft — acquired earlier in the week from Alberni Valley — and Puskarich pulled Langley even after one period. The teams traded goals in the second, with Cope scoring for the Rivermen, before the Bulldogs went

ahead for good later in the period. The third period was all about missed opportunity as Langley missed a penalty shot and could not convert on either two-man advantage opportunity. Langley is 10-12-0-4 on the season. The team is on the road for a pair of games this weekend, Friday in Trail and Saturday against West Kelowna.

Skyhawks soar over Ravens in championship H.D. Stafford scores on opening kick-off and never looks back to win Grade 8 football title Gary ahuja Times Sports

Nathan King scored three touchdowns as the H.D. Stafford Skyhawks captured the provincial

football tier 2 championship. The Skyhawks won 21-0 over Abbotsford’s Eugene Reimer Ravens on Thursday (Nov. 29) at Burnaby Lakes. This was the

school’s second straight tier 2 football title and they have appeared in the championship games three consecutive seasons. “At the first practice of the

year, I asked the question to the team ‘who would like to be playing football at the end of November?’” said Stafford coach Kyle Anderson. “The team answered with a resounding ‘yes coach.’” “Our goal at the start of each season is to put a product on the field that will make it into the provincial finals,” he said. Stafford went 4-2 during the regular season and then knocked off Pitt Meadows 20-6 in the semifinals. The Ravens went 3-3 and upset the Abbotsford Huskies 16-6 in their playoff game. The top seed from the regular

season, the G.W. Graham Grizzlies (5-1) moved to the tier 1 playoffs. And in the championship game, King ran back the opening kick-off 70 yards for the touchdown before the teams settled into the defensive battle. King added another touchdown on a long run to make it 14-0 in the third quarter, and then King completed the trifecta in the fourth quarter, this time from 50 yards out. Eh Tha Ta converted all three touchdowns. Kaeden Purdy capped off the shutout, picking off a Ravens pass in the final two minutes.

“The keys to the game for us were to control the line of scrimmage and win the trench war,” Anderson said. “To minimize our errors and capitalize on theirs, and to execute our game plan and dictate the pace of the game.” While Anderson fully expected to have a successful

season, he was surprised by the pure speed of some of his athletes. “We did not expect to be such a fast team and we used this to our advantage on special teams, with our offensive running and our entire defence. “We beat teams with speed, full stop.”

Spartans beat the Heat The Trinity Western Spartans were able to withstand the Heat and were rewarded with a pair of victories over the weekend in Kelowna. The men’s volleyball team, ranked third in the country, took both matches against the UBC Okanagan Heat to close the first half of their season with a 10-2 record. It wasn’t easy, however, as the Spartans were down 2-0 on Sunday before rallying to win. The Heat won sets one and two 25-20 and 25-22 before the Spartans responded by winning 25-19, 25-13 and 15-9. “It was a tale of two games,” said coach Ben Josephson. “The first half our opponents were on fire. They had a really nice game plan for us and exploited some things we weren’t doing well and made some great adjustments from the previous night. “We made some changes midmatch and we executed those things really well and made great decisions. This time of year it’s hard to play great volleyball and improve as a team. It’s sometimes really just about trying to find a way to win matches and our guys did what they needed to do tonight to get the victory. “After the injuries we sustained in the preseason, we were a little concerned about how the fall was going to go. “To finish the semester at 10-2, we’re really pleased with how we’ve positioned ourselves through the first half.” Nick Del Bianco led the team

with 22 kills and three aces, plus 11 digs. Brad Kufske added 13 kills and three blocks while Steven Marshall had 10 kills and 17 digs. Lucas Van Berkel had five blocks and Scott Plocktis had 47 assists. In Saturday’s victory, the Spartans won 25-22, 25-14 and 25-21. The Heat won the third set 25-21. ••••• Two lengthy streaks came to an end for the Trinity Western Spartans women’s volleyball team. After rattling off 21 straight sets, the Spartans lost the opening set on Saturday in Kelowna against the UBC Okanagan Heat. But more importantly than that, the team also dropped the match 3-1, seeing their streak of nine straight victories come to an end. The Heat beat the top-ranked Spartans 3-1 (25-19, 13-25, 26-24, 25-17). The Spartans did rebound to win the rematch on Sunday by the same 3-1 score (25-18, 12-25, 25-13, 25-23). Trinity Western closes the first half of the schedule with a 10-2 record. “We played much better today as a team,” said Spartans coach Ryan Hofer. “Our girls made sure we were unified out there and we followed a better game plan. We were able to put our plan in place and then execute so we could capitalize on certain opportunities. “It was really nice to have to fight hard for a win. I’m really pleased with how we blocked, how we played defence and how we attacked their block.”
