One dead, two critically injured in crash Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

An 87-year-old Langley man was killed instantly and his wife, also in her 80s, is in critical condition in hospital after a head-on collision at the intersection of Robertson Crescent and 264 Street on Monday. The results of the preliminary investigation indicate that around 5 p.m. there was an unknown northbound vehicle stopped at the intersection, waiting for southbound traffic to clear to make a left turn onto Robertson Crescent. This vehicle didn’t remain at the scene, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. A second vehicle, a Chevrolet commercial van, slowed behind the vehicle making the turn. A Nissan Rogue, driven by the 87-year-old, came up behind the slowed van and swerved but didn’t slow. Police believe the driver may have been trying to avoid a rear-end collision. However, the Rogue still clipped the rear of the van and then went into the southbound lane, colliding head-on with a Toyota Tacoma driven by a 44-year-old Langley woman. The driver of the Rogue died instantly. continued, PAGE 7

The MLB team contributed $250,000 for the project.

A new clubhouse for the Boys and Girls Club at Douglas Park will allow even more young kids the opportunity to access resources that otherwise might not be available to them. “This is where you spend a lot of your time,” said Carolyn Tuckwell, the president and CEO of Boys and Girls Clubs of South Coast BC. She was speaking to the 50 or so Boys and Girls Club (BGC) youth on Tuesday afternoon who regularly use the organization’s services. “The old (clubhouse) was pretty

squishy,” she said. The organization gives children and youth a place to be outside of school or home. To the kids, the club feels like a place where they can hang out with their friends, as well as provide them with three very important things: a sense of belonging, a sense of success and positive relationships. All of this is accomplished through a wide range of activities such as sports, homework, arts and crafts, and healthy meals. “Those kids will have the sense of belonging and success they crave and have a strong foundation and the life skills they need to succeed and pursue their

dreams,” Tuckwell said. Tuckwell was there for the grand opening of a new 2,600 square foot Jays Care Community Clubhouse. The project was made possible thanks to a $250,000 Field of Dreams grant from the Jays Care Foundation, the charitable arm of Toronto’s Major League Baseball team. The Rotary Club of Langley Central also provided $80,000 towards the project, which has been in the works for about the past two years. “It’s a grey, miserable day outside, but it’s a sunshiny day in this facility,” said Ken Baker, the Rotary Club president, who presented a cheque to Tuckwell.

“This is an absolute dream come true. It took awhile to put this together … but we’re just happy and proud to be part of this great facility.” The Jays Care Foundation also provided a $50,000 grant earlier this year to assist in the development of a Jays Care Community Clubhouse for the Surrey chapter of the Boys and Girls Club. “Virtually right away when we started the conversations, it became clear there was room for a partnership,” Tuckwell said. “So we love any opportunity to partner where we are going to be able to give kids access to things continued, PAGE 7

WOLF doesn’t have $3 million Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

A hastily-organized fundraising campaign by residents has failed to find $3 million to buy 25 acres of Townshipowned land in Glen Valley to prevent its sale to developers. With only a few days to go before a Dec. 17 Township deadline, the residents are far from their goal of preserving McLellan forest, Scott Perry, the chair of the newly-formed Watchers of Langley Forests (WOLF) Scott Perry of told Township Watchers of Langley’s council Monday night. Forests While the group has found “passionate support” for preserving the forest located near 84 Avenue and 260 Street, that support has only produced “a small amount of donations to WOLF as well as a small amount of pledges,” Perry said. Part of the challenge, Perry said, was convincing prospective donors to pay “full market value in 60 days for land that is already publicly owned.” He described the amount raised to date as “miniscule.” Council approved selling the 25 acres to raise money to buy the Aldergrove Elementary School site to build a new community centre, swimming pool and ice rink. It agreed to postpone the sale to give residents time to come up with the necessary money.

Perry said an expert on fundraising has told WOLF that raising the $3 million would be a matter of two or three years, not months. He urged council to cancel the sale and find the money for the community centre elsewhere. The same message was delivered by other residents who spoke at the evening council session, many telling council that Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times more than one pro- Brendan Perry, 7, couldn’t remember what he wanted to spective donor has objected to paying say about the controversial sale of the Glen Valley propfor property already erty Monday night at Langley Township council.

Petrina Arnason said while most of Mark Haddock said recent assessments of the land show it has “high ecological the government agencies approached by WOLF agree the site should be prevalue” and should be preserved.

Bus attacker to be sentenced Dec. 20

Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

A 20-year-old Surrey man charged in connection with two violent attacks on local transit, including the choking of a bus driver in Newton and stabbing of a passenger in Aldergrove, will be sentenced on Dec. 20. Steven Fayant was in Provincial Court in Surrey on Wednesday for a pre-sentencing hearing. Fayant was expected to go to trial but ended up pleading guilty to aggravated assault for the stabbing of a 41-year-old

Langley man who was getting off the bus near Aldergrove Centre Mall on Feb. 21. Fayant also choked a Surrey bus driver on Feb. 18. Before police knew who the attacker was, the bus drivers’ union issued a public warning about the attacks. Fayant was arrested a couple of days later at his Surrey home. The arrest was made possible after a Langley Mountie recognized him from surveillance footage provided by TransLink. He is also dealing with another charge of assault that took place on Sept. 25, 2011 in Langley.

Fayant was denied bail and has been behind bars since the February attacks. The judge has ordered a psychiatric evaluation for the pre-sentencing. The victim wasn’t known to Fayant and it isn’t known what provoked the stabbing, said police. He was stabbed in the back as he was getting off the bus. The 41-yearold victim has recovered from the attack. In the Surrey incident, a rider returned to the driver and started choking him. The assailant suddenly let go and ran off the bus.

Missing man’s body found Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

The family of missing Langley man Dan Rikkinen are in mourning, after Hope RCMP discovered his body on Sunday evening. Rikkinen was found in his burned-out pickup truck in the Hope area. Forensic specialists were called in to make the identification, confirmed Cpl. Len Vannieuwenhuizen of the Upper Fraser Valley Regional RCMP. “The matter is still under investigation, but foul play is not suspected,” he said. Rikkinen went missing on Nov. 22 after visiting his wife at Langley Memorial Hospital. Family members told the media that he had just celebrated his 59th birthday and had made plans for the weekend, but left without a trace after making a large withdrawal of cash from a bank the next day. He had plans to move to Vancouver Island with his wife after she got out of hospital.

War medals found Langley RCMP are trying to reunite some First World War commendation medals with their rightful owners, after they were found in a vacant Langley City apartment. In April, police were called out to the vacant apartment. Officers noted several items strewn around the apartment — likely property stolen during break-ins, said Cpl. Holly Marks. Some of the items recovered could have strong sentimental value. However, police have been unable to determine their rightful owner. Of particular note are two First World War commendation medals, The Star and the Victory medal. These medals were issued to all ranks of the Canadian military who saw service during the First World War. The Star recovered is engraved with “R. HIGHRS” and the Victory medal is engraved with “2374 PT. A. ALEXANDER R. HIGHRS.” Investigators have made inquiries with Veterans Affairs Canada and determined these medals are actually British, likely issued to a British Regiment, the Royal Highlanders who fought out of Newfoundland during the war. Further research and inquiries have not been fruitful, in locating the current owners or descendants of Private Alexander. Also recovered was a bag containing several dozen foreign coins, most of which were small in denomination.

New school honours Richard Bulpitt Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Langley’s newest school will be named Richard Bulpitt Elementary when it opens in south Yorkson in September 2013. The announcement was made in front of Bulpitt’s family members at the Langley Board of Education meeting on Tuesday night. Bulpitt served as the Lang-

ley’s Superintendent of Schools from May 1996 until March 2001, when he retired. Before that he worked as a teacher, principal and administrator in both Vancouver and Langley. “Richard Bulpitt was admired by students, colleagues, and friends for his love of education and dedication to the community,” said board chair Wendy Johnson. After retirement Bulpitt was

doing missionary work when he passed away suddenly from a heart attack while on assignment with his wife in Vietnam in 2007. Lucy Lenko, current principal at Langley Meadows, has been appointed principal at Richard Bulpitt, located at 20965 77A Avenue. Lenko said she knew Bulpitt when she was teaching in Langley and took administrative course under his leadership.

were called out to the 22200 block of 64 Avenue where a person had seen two men cutting wire as they walked down the street. Police were able to arrest the two men, one of whom was wanted on outstanding arrest warrants. Theft of wires continues to be a big problem. Police are asking the public to continue reporting suspicious activity around telephone poles. If individuals are seen climbing a telephone pole (working on

the wire) or lingering around a hydro substation and don’t appear legitimate, call 911. There is a cost and inconvenience to Telus subscribers when the wire is taken, and small businesses lose their ability to access banks via Interac, said police. The biggest concern is the loss of the ability for the general public to contact emergency services. Active telephone wire was stolen near Langley Memorial, Hospital causing a ‘blackout’ period.

The Salvation Army is once again looking for volunteers to help out with their Christmas kettle campaign in Langley.

Army issues kettle call The Salvation Army is still looking for volunteers, at least 100 actually, to fill their kettle campaign. “We are asking people to offer two hours to stand with a kettle and share a Merry Christmas with those passing by,” said Troy Gaglardi, director of operations at the Gateway of Hope. This year’s goal is to raise $250,000 from kettle contributions. We have 118 volunteers currently but we need approximately 300 (depending on the level of commitment). The kettle locations are throughout Langley and Aldergrove. Salvation Army operates the Gateway of Hope which is currently over capacity at its emergency shelter. It also offers daily hot meals to members of the community and several resource programs offering job skills and job training, like its successful cooking program. This is the Salvation Army’s main fundraiser for the year. If you can spare some time to work a kettle call 604-514-7375.

Afterwards, Lawrie said he loves being an ambassador for Toronto. “It is good to be here and give all these kids a good opportunity,” he said.

“It is great what the Blue Jays are doing; I am proud to see my team making a difference in the lives of kids on the West Coast.” “This gives all these kids an opportunity to play sports and have some after school activities.” For Lawrie, it was also nice to come back to Langley, as his off-season home is now in Arizona. This was his first visit back in about a year, he said. “I get to spread the word a little bit (and) it is good to be a part of this because it is a good cause. “This is what it is all about: seeing the kids excited and giving them opportunity.”

t should not come as a great surprise to anyone that a hastily-formed citizens’ group has been unable to raise $3 million to buy Langley’s McLellan forest from the Township. WOLF (Watchers of Langley’s Forests) was given very little time to come up with the money to purchase the 25-acre forest located near 84 Avenue and 260 Street, with council initially setting a 30-day deadline of Nov. 17, then agreeing to an extension until Dec. 17. The delay didn’t make much difference. At the Monday, Dec.10 meeting of Langley Township council, WOLF chair Scott Perry told the mayor and councillors that while they have found “passionate support” for preserving the land, precious little of it has translated into actual dollars. “Miniscule” was the word Perry used to describe the amount donated to date. One expert on fund-raising has told WOLF that a more realistic schedule would allow two to three years, not months, to find that kind of money. It didn’t help their cause that the fledgling group was trying to generate donations to buy land the public already owns, through the Township. Speakers told council that more than one would-be donor raised exactly that question with WOLF as it hunted for financial supporters. “Why buy something you already own?” one person asked. It’s a good question. Council does not seem to have an answer, beyond insisting it needs the money to buy the Aldergrove Elementary School site on which it plans to build a new community centre, swimming pool and ice rink. Which begs another question; if Township finances are that tight, where is the municipality planning to find the rest of the money it must have in order to pay for the construction of the Aldergrove recreation centre, as well as staffing and maintaining it? Again, there doesn’t seem to be a good answer. Perhaps it’s time to consider alternatives. Why not a joint arrangement with nearby Abbotsford to share the cost of a facility that would serve both communities? It’s worth considering.

t first it was only supposed to last until the American Thanksgiving weekend. Then it was to end by Dec. 1, then in time for Christmas. But increasingly it seems like the NHL owners and players are unlikely to agree on a new collective agreement before the New Year, if at all. Ominously, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said if the league can’t get the players to agree to a new contract in time to salvage a 48-game season, there won’t be one and the dispute will fester. What’s a hockey-starved fan to do? Contrary to popular paranoia, the country’s economy hasn’t collapsed. Nor have those of cities whose NHL arenas are dark and shuttered. In fact, the Bank of Montreal’s deputy chief economist said employment in the accommodation and food services industry in Canada actually increased in November. The attempt by various TV networks to fill their scheduling void with rebroadcasts of “classic” games has been little more than a curiosity that reminds us how much slower the game used to be and how far we’ve come in TV technology. Teams in minor and junior leagues have enjoyed increased attention from media and fans looking for their regular hockey fix. Some, like the Vancouver Giants and Abbotsford Heat, are offering discount ticket packages to showcase their product to more people, building a bigger fan base for the future. Even the SFU Clan hockey team is ratcheting up its marketing, hosting its first Great Northwest Showcase against teams from UBC, Arizona State and Oklahoma universities at Burnaby’s Copeland Arena in late December. There’s still plenty of hockey out there for diehards to enjoy. The NHL owners and players might want to keep that in mind. —Burnaby News Leader (Black Press) The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

‘We pay you, you don’t pay us’ Editor: As a Townsip taxpayer who resided in Langley for 15 years, I am appalled that Langley Township is using my tax dollars to retain the attorney firm of Bull Hauser. The firm’s name says enough. Having appeared before council and once speaking for nine minutes in order to protect wildlife from development, I was gently told at the end by Mayor Kurt Alberts that I was way over my time. I was not reprimanded and interrupted, as Councillor Steve Ferguson did to a delegate. I find council to be like the Vichy Government in France during the Second World War, with a passive conciliation to the demands of the powers behind the scenes, mainly developers and Township administration. Perhaps any references to “racist” comments would have slipped

over the heads of staff and council, if a reference had been made to Pol Pot, whose massacres half of Langley doesn’t even know of, or “Viva el dictador,” in reference to Pinochet, the CIA’s Chilean puppet. If speaking of Northern European males, persecution is impossible as they have never been a repressed minority. Those of us who have spoken out are repressed. Several years ago, when the Township negotiated to fill in over 20 gravel pits, including Firehall Lake on 32 Avenue, they neglected to consult any neighbours or schools, whose lives would have been disrupted by 75 tandem truckloads per day passing through the neighbourhood. I appreciate Councillor Bob Long, but when he attempted to tear

down a resident’s protest sign, I saw the infringement upon our rights and freedoms. Later, Pacific Land Group called me to comprehend the dilemma and the signed contracts. In short, the PLG representative and I concurred that Township had screwed up, affecting not only taxpayers, but PLG as well. If the mayor and council do not want to be treated with disdain, then stop treating us with disdain. Stop raising your salaries and pushing me to the point of temporarily leaving Langley and its surreptitious municipal practice. And if you don’t like being compared to an infamous dictator, don’t act like one. We pay you; you don’t pay us. Cathleen Chance Vecchiato, Sonoma, California

Editor: Recently a First Nations representative vehemently opposed the exploration of oil and construction of a pipeline. He added: “It will kill B.C.’s $7 billion tourist industry.” Really? Having worked for over 40 years in the travel industry, I had to do a double take. How could I have been so misguided? From my humble perch, I have seen tourists buy a loud shirt in Honolulu and enjoy feeling sand between their toes. In Egypt most people like to have their picture taken, riding a camel in front of the pyramids. In Paris it’s the Eiffel Tower and croissants for breakfast every morning. Visitors to Western Canada, unless they specifically come for the Stanley Cup, a convention or the Calgary Stampede, rent a motorhome in Calgary and drive through our glorious Rockies to Vancouver. Depending on the amount of time available the ride

could include Drumheller, BuffaloJump-Head-Smashed-In, Prince Rupert and Port Hardy. It also works well in reverse. But even if they do things differently, there is always driving involved. Lots of it. That includes those visitors from Carolina who overnight in motels, the sports fishermen who look for salmon in Campbell River or the Seattle skier who weekends in Whistler. They have to drive, ride or fly. Worldwide we have now raised a generation of people who were told that using gas is a sin and will destroy the planet. Some of this was bound to stick. Why are we surprised that our B.C. tourism industry is now tanking? Why would digging a trench to get oil to market affect tourism as we know it? With all due respect, all those speaking on behalf of First Nations or Tourism BC may wish to take a reality

check. Find out what my tourists do or have done while here. Besides, thanks to Vivian Krause, most of us now know how much charity money has gone to First Nations and the environment industry to oppose B.C.’s development of natural resources. (Have you noticed that only B.C. tanker traffic invites disaster? Alaska to Seattle: no problem. Other coasts: no problem. Even a pipeline to Eastern Canada to export products to Europe: no problem. It should be fairly obvious why these monies are made available. Recipients, therefore, no longer project the clean image and devotion to Mother Nature their sponsors had hoped to take advantage of. Any time we accept that oil consumption equals global warming, we better question the source of that information. Ziggy Eckardt, Burnaby

Tourists use carbon-based fuels

Another side to the story Editor: I am writing in response to the letter from Elaine Bartels in The Times (Dec. 6), “Rejected by Food Bank.” I was waiting in the line-up during Bartels’ visit to the local Food Bank and while I feel sorry for Bartels, her letter is not the full story. During her visit, I witnessed her yelling and belittling those who volunteer and work at the Food Bank, as well as the other people who were at the Food Bank for food. She made a statement to the effect that most of us are on welfare and not working. I am already feeling embarrased and bad about having to attend the Food Bank for food, but I was very offended by what Bartels said. She proceeded to yell that she would be writing to the newspaper and tell others “how un-Christian at Christmas the Food Bank employees were.” Every person who goes to the Food Bank has a reason for asking for help, and no one is better than anyone else, or has a right to belittle the other people there. I am a single mother of one child, and like Bartels, I lost my job at the beginning of November of this year. Added to that, I have a growing child who needs winter clothing, and her birthday is this week. It is financially extremely hard for many people. Without the Food Bank, many of us would not be able to feed our families. The people who volunteer there have been nothing but kind to me, and the numerous others who depend on their services for food each week. They have hundreds of families coming in and try their best to help all those in the community. Due to the number of people they help on an ongoing basis. they have to have rules and regulations in place so that the service they provide to our community can continue. Please withhold my last name for the sake of my child. Danielle A., Langley

Mother and daughter press Township for crosswalk Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

As Geraldine Jordan made her case for a crosswalk at 216 St. and 88B Ave., her five-year-old daughter Elisabeth sat beside her at the overhead projector in the Langley Township council chamber, helping her mother by placing maps of the intersection under the lens. “We wanted to bring this forward before there is an accident,” said Jordan, who was speaking for Friends of the Crosswalk (FOX), a group of Walnut Grove residents who support a marked pedestrian crosswalk for the intersection. In a nine-page written submission filed with the Township, FOX argues pedestrians crossing the intersection “are at significant risk of physical injury because of high traffic volume, limited sight line, four lanes of traffic and vehicle U-turns.” Children at three schools, École des Voyageurs, Topham Elementary and James Kennedy Elementary use the intersection, the submission states. A Township estimate places traffic flow at 5,160 vehicles a day, more than other intersections that have marked crosswalks, pedestrian signals or full traffic lights, FOX says. The submission goes on to suggest the Township estimate may have understated the actual traffic flow by as much as 25 per cent, because the method used failed to include U-turns and drivers turning in and out of the neighbourhood. The Township engineering department has suggested pedestrians should use a nearby crosswalk at 216 St. and 88 Avenue, but FOX said that would mean people going 400 meters out of their way. And there are at least three intersections in the Township where crosswalks are even

crosswalk, Jordan said a traffic expert has suggested adding rumble strips to 216 Street to encourage traffic to slow down. Her submission included a copy of an Oct. 11 letter to the editor about a near-miss in the intersection, which appeared in the Langley Times. More than 150 individuals and five businesses have signed a petition calling for the crosswalk. The motherdaughter presentation received a sympathetic, but guarded response from council. The proposal will be considered for inclusion in the Township budget in the new year, they were told, but crosswalks aren’t cheap. Councillor Charlie Fox said it would cost about $100,000 to put one in at that location.

Door hangers and fridge magnets are also included in the packages, to help reinforce what can and cannot go into the organic waste bins. Kraft paper bags containing yard waste will also be picked up, but biodegradable plastic bags will not. Once each week, organic and blue box recycling will be picked up, with no limit on the number of containers a household may set out. Garbage collection will continue to take place every second week with a limit of two cans per household.

Times Reporter

From carrot peelings to pizza boxes, egg shells and coffee grounds — even that steak you couldn’t finish — the idea of what constitutes garbage is getting a radical overhaul in the City of Langley. On Jan. 2, the municipality will roll out its kitchen organics — or green can — collection program to complement blue box recycling and traditional garbage pick up. On the first Wednesday of the New Year, everything from the items listed above to house plants, oil and soiled paper products will be redirected into the kitchen organic waste stream. Within the next couple of weeks, every single-family home in the City will get a package containing a comprehensive list of

tic that residents will make the effort to separate the newly recyclable materials, he said, noting that in its first month on the program, Surrey saw a 35 per cent diversion rate. Langley City organic waste will be taken to a facility on the Abbotsford-Aldergrove border called The Answer Garden Products.

Weight scale donation helps sick kids at LMH’s pediatrics Representatives from Warm Hearts Charitable Foundation presented a $5,885 grant to purchase a specialized weigh scale for the Pediatric Program at Langley Memorial Hospital last month. The scale will be used to record, monitor and track the weight of children who are confined to a wheelchair or who are too ill to stand for any length of time. These children may be handicapped and can’t stand on their

own or have difficulty remaining still for a set period of time. They may have been admitted to the hospital and have a multitude pieces of equipment attached to their bodies, such as feeding pumps, ventilators and/or O2 pumps. It will be used for in-patient and outpatient use. “This most generous donation has given us the opportunity to provide the best care to our chronic kids that come for their care at LMH - Pediat-

rics,” said Lindsay Gri, RN at LMH patient care co-ordinator paediatrics/surgical short stay. “The simple task of getting an accurate weight can be difficult and uncomfortable for the disabled child but with a scale that has wheelchair access this important measurement becomes quick and accurate. We have been waiting for this equipment for many years and we are excited to now be receiving it. Our hearts thank you!”

For a while it looked as if the New Democrat who may be B.C.’s next transportation minister if his party takes power would steer clear of the new Port Mann Bridge — the province’s biggest infrastructure project. Opposition transportation critic Harry Bains, MLA for Surrey-Newton, told Black Press last week he didn’t intend to register with the TReO tolling system because he had little cause to use the Port Mann. Most of his duties keep him south of the Fraser or taking SkyTrain to Vancouver, rather than visiting the Tri Cities. But as his constituents clamoured to register before opening day to get a $30 credit — pushing registrations above the half-million mark — Bains had a change of heart and signed up as well. “I finally registered and I’m going to go take a trip,” Bains said Tuesday. “Since it’s

free this week, I’ll go take a look.” The NDP’s critic still has plenty of concerns, notably the expected congestion at the Pattullo Bridge and crossings further south as motorists seek a free alternative. He also contends the new #555 Port Mann bus service may not have enough capacity to meet demand. But his views on other transportation issues in the Lower Mainland are not far off those of B.C. Transportation Minister Mary Polak. Bains insists the tolls introduced by the province on the Port Mann are here to stay, rising to $3 next December when introductory discounts end. And like Polak, he’s prepared to listen to Metro Vancouver mayors who want to pursue road pricing and other new revenue sources to fund TransLink and address complaints of unfair tolling. He’s just as cautious as the minister, stressing

any controversial new scheme to extend tolls to existing bridges or roads must win public support. Bains dismisses the province’s announcement of plans to replace the Massey Tunnel as a vague and unfunded “electioneering” ploy. But he wouldn’t call off the consultation and planning process if the NDP is elected next spring, agreeing the tunnel is a key Lower Mainland choke point. “There is a need to have that crossing improved,” he said. “It is a main trading corridor to the United States. You can’t afford to have trucks lined up in that area.” Tolls on the Port Mann and perhaps later a replaced Pattullo Bridge may mean even more traffic trying to use the tunnel, he noted. Bains said government must also be mindful the Lower Mainland will grow by another million people, most of them settling south of the Fraser. “You have to look

ahead and say ‘how are we going to move those people and the goods that are going to serve them south of the Fraser?’ “ A replaced tunnel could also be a source of new jobs and economic growth in Surrey and North Delta, he said, allowing larger container ships now limited by draft to head further up river to the under-utilized Fraser Surrey Docks, instead of Vancouver terminals. “If we have an opportunity to move those containers closer to their destination, can you imagine all the trucks you will be removing off Vancouver streets and off those crossings of the river?” Whether the tunnel must be replaced or can be fixed instead would depend on further engineering advice, he said. The big challenge for the next government, he said, will be juggling priorities in the face of limited resources. Besides the need to replace two Fraser River crossings, there’s multi-billiondollar demands for new rapid transit extensions in Surrey and down the Broadway corridor in Vancouver toward UBC. There’s a need to upgrade SkyTrain stations and boost bus service throughout the region. Better transit has to be the top priority, he said, along with TransLink’s need for long-term sustainable funding. The NDP promises to raise corporate taxes — cut to offset the carbon tax — back to 2008 levels. That would free up about $400 million a year for provincial transportation projects, Bains said. Government would earmark a portion of that for the Lower Mainland, while area mayors would be expected to agree on how they will raise more money from residents. “I’m willing to sit down with them and look at all options.”

Sharon Laberty and her 14-monthold daughter Lily prepare to make breakfast burritos in a skillet. Laberty is taking Gateway of Hope’s free Skillet 101 class. Volunteers and staff keep Lily busy while mom learns to cook easy and affordable meals in a skillet she gets to taken home later.

Skillet 101 classes fill hearts and bellies Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Shepherd’s pie, chili, breakfast burritos, apple crisp and cake are just a few of the many meals that can be made in a skillet. Surprising, maybe, but extremely practical, affordable and tasty, plus a skillet can be plugged into any wall outlet. This was the thought of Gateway of Hope’s Andrea Voss, a family services case worker who started researching what could be made in a skillet and opened up classes to those in need in the community. Voss, along with some dedicated volunteers, have been offering Skillet 101 cooking classes for free to people in the community or to those who are accessing the shelter. Every class has filled up. January’s class is already full. “It’s a great tool for people on low income who may be in a rooming house and don’t have their own kitchen,” said Rosyln Cassells, who just finished the six weeks of classes on Wednesday. “You can plug in the skillet anywhere.” Cassells, who is on disability, is a vegan and wasn’t sure the Salvation Army would be able to accommodate her. But Voss did some research and found ways to supply her with tofu and meat alternatives. Voss says the classes have been filling up since they began a year ago. “It’s great for people to learn cooking skills. Not only do they accomplish making theses great meals, but they get to take home tons of leftovers too,” said Voss. Canadian Tire Langley donates all the skillets. If a person completes the six weeks, they are allowed to take home the skillet. Ralph’s Market has been supplying all the produce. For Jaime Pederson, getting a free skillet was her initial reason for joining the class. “I am just starting all over again so I don’t have any pots or pans,” said Pederson, who is clean and sober and has moved into Langley’s Kinsmen housing. “A friend of mine who lives in the same housing took the course and told me about it,” she said. Pederson said she has taken the food home to her two-year-old daughter who has enjoyed what she made. “I’ve loved the food and it’s been really nice talking with everyone, finding out about resources in the community. As a single mom, my daughter was welcomed too.” Voss said she keeps the classes small so it allows everyone to get to know each other and share. “Our last group became such good friends, it got pretty loud in here,” said Voss. “They asked if they could all continue meeting every week to cook together.” Sharon Laberty brings her 14-month-old daughter Lily to the classes. Voss puts out a playpen and some toys. Lily plays or Voss or the other volunteers keep the toddler busy. “I’m loving it and getting lots out of this class. I will make these recipes again,” said Laberty. Several of the women found out through conversations that there was a community meal program every day downstairs of the Gateway of Hope. Now many of them have a meal before going to class, Voss said. Voss ends each class with a devotion.

You & The Law

PRESENTS New rules for Power of Attorney and Living Wills New rules came into effect in B.C. on September 1, 2011 for powers of attorney, representation agreements and “living wills” (now called advance directives). The new changes affect how these very useful estate planning documents are prepared, signed and administered. An enduring power of attorney appoints someone to handle your legal or financial affairs in the event you become incapacitated, while a representation agreement typically appoints a health care spokesperson for the same circumstance (although it can also be used to grant legal and financial powers). Without one or other of these documents, properly witnessed according to the new rules, members of your family could be forced to go to court (which is expensive) for permission to handle your affairs if you become incapacitated for an extended period. If you made one of these documents before September 1, 2011, it’s most likely still valid. But it would be prudent to have your lawyer review them, just in case, to make sure they still have their desired effect. Alternatively, if your estate planning hasn’t yet progressed to preparing one or more of these documents, now would be a good time to consider doing so. What are some of the new rules? They spell out certain tests for determining your capacity to sign one of these estate planning documents, impose new requirements on witnessing and signing them, and state that paid health care workers (other than your spouse, parent or child) cannot act as your attorney or representative. The rules also expand on what an attorney or representative may and may not do, and what records they have to maintain. As well, the Public Guardian has been given the power to apply to court to

remove an attorney or representative if your capacity to make the document is in doubt, or if your attorney or representative appears to be neglecting or abusing their powers. The new rules also now legally recognize a properly signed “advance directive.” This document creates a record of your health care wishes. It speaks for you when you no longer have the capacity to do so and can include end-of-life decisions (such as refusal of life support). These directives have often been informally recognized by the medical profession. But the new rules now require doctors to follow your recorded wishes and also exonerate health care providers who follow them in good faith. (But you still can’t ask for anything illegal, such as to be compassionately put out of your misery when there’s no hope of recovery.) By the time most people reach late middle age, they are at higher risk of strokes, dementia, Alzheimer’s and other incapacitating illnesses. These sad events, along with personal injuries, can occur suddenly. And they often don’t leave sufficient time to have appropriate paperwork prepared to authorize others to act in your place. It’s therefore always a good idea when preparing or revising your Will to consider making appropriate arrangements for incapacity as well. Your lawyer will be familiar with the new rules, can explain all the available options, and can ensure that all of the new documentary requirements are properly followed.

Transit goal not being reached, says auditor Tom FleTcher Black Press

The B.C. government’s ambitious goal to double transit ridership by 2020 is not going to be met at the current rate of growth, Auditor General John Doyle reported Thursday. Doyle’s audit of BC Transit’s efforts to meet that goal found that since it was set in 2008, ridership increased by 6.9 million by last spring, the latest annual total available. The original target was 9.4 million by that time, and the gap is expected to grow further by 2014-15. The provincial transit plan was unveiled early in 2008 by former premier Gordon Campbell and then-transportation minister Kevin Falcon. Its $14 billion price tag included federal and municipal investment, with SkyTrain and other urban light rail accounting for $10 billion. It included the now-completed Canada line, the Evergreen extension to Coquitlam and another SkyTrain extension to the University of B.C. Rapid bus systems for Kelowna and Victoria were the only parts of the plan outside the Lower Mainland.

Transit ridership in B.C. is not on track to meet ambitious goals set in 2008, according to a report by Auditor General John Doyle. The government at the time, hoped to double the number of people using transit by 2020. The audit identified a lack of clear targets and collaboration between BC Transit and the B.C. transportation ministry, and recommended that the targets and timelines be reviewed. The audit was underway when the province did its own review of BC Transit’s rocky relationship with local governments. Transportation Minister Mary Polak announced in

Lift spirits of pregnant women in need monique Tamminga

Times Reporter

When Jaime Pederson found out she was pregnant, it was Christmas and she was in jail in Calgary. After getting out of jail she found her way to a program called Fir Square at B.C. Women’s Hospital in Vancouver, which offers support and care for pregnant women struggling from substance abuse. “When I went in there I had nothing,” said Pederson, who is a clean and sober mom to a happy, healthy two-year-old daughter, now living in Langley. “The support I received there was huge and I credit them for helping me turn my life around.” Fir Square offers withdrawal management during pregnancy and post partum, caring and non judgmental counselling, assistance with housing and medical care as well as parenting

groups. There are 12 beds there. Pederson, a single mom, is giving back to the very place that helped change her life. But she is hoping to get just a little help from the community. She has already made one trip to the hospital to bring the pregnant women items to get them ready to be moms and also to help them out. But she is now looking to bring them new or gently used clothing, some maternity clothing, books, magazines, DVDs and toiletries. She also could use clothing for babies up to three months old. “Especially at this time of year, I think it would be a nice gesture to lift their spirits,” she said. She will be delivering a parcel to the hospital on Dec. 20. If you have any items listed above that you would like to donate, bring them to the Langley Times office, 20258 Fraser Hwy., by Tuesday, Dec. 18.

Mini We Day at H.D. Stafford

H.D. Stafford Middle school is holding a Mini We Day on Friday from 9 a.m. to noon. The day will include activities and a penny drive to support Free the Children — which is the We movement’s charity. The Mini We Day is held to inspire students to be the “change they wish to see” and to end apathy. The idea was inspired by the hugely popular We Day held every year for thousands of B.C. students at Rogers Arena. This year Magic Johnson spoke to students and was joined by several famous musicians. We Day was created by brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger who, as youths, started a global movement to inspire kids into action.

The 21st annual Georgie Awards dinner will be held on Feb. 23 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

By Kerry Vital

Vancouver, the first European to enter Burrard Inlet in 1792. Since the awards began in 1992, the categories, criteria, price points and square footage have changed to reflect new ideas in the construction industry. The most recent change has been to energy-efficiency categories, with the creation of new ones and the addition of new criteria to older categories. The winners will be announced at a black-tie awards gala in February. For a full list of finalists, check out www. georgieawards.ca.

The Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia has announced the finalists for this year’s Georgie Awards, honouring the best in the residential construction industry. This will be the 21st annual awards, which reward builders, renovators, marketers and sales representatives. The awards are known across Canada for recognizing excellence and innovation in B.C. “A Georgie Award is recognized as an industry stamp of quality. Award entries are at a record high, and the calibre of projects is a testament to the talents and efforts of CHBA BC members,” says the CHBA BC. This year, the CHBA BC received over 500 entries in a total of 45 categories. The categories include awards for singlefamily, multi-family and custom homes, as well as renovations on various budgets, marketing and outdoor spaces. Among the nominees are Portrait Homes, Kenorah Construction & Design, Adera Development Corporation and Harald Koehn Construction Ltd. The awards will be presented by CHBA BC and BC Homes, and are judged by a panel of residential construction industry professionals from outside of the province. Finalists for the Grand Georgie Awards and Customer Choice Georgie Awards will be announced next month. The Georgie Awards are named after Captain George

THANK YOU!

Financial knowledge best gift for kids For many Canadian families, the holidays are associated with financial stress, especially when the bills inevitably roll in with the New Year. According to Tanya Wilson, an investment advisor at Envision Financial, parents who spend first and think later, may want to reconsider that strategy — their children are watching. “A recent survey found that only a third of Canadians between the ages of 10 and 17 have regular talks with their parents about money and finances and approximately 30 per cent feel that their parents have financial problems,” Wilson said. “Children are very aware of their parents’ actions and are likely to repeat their parents’ spending habits. By talking to your children about your finances and setting a good example, you can help set them up for future financial success.” Let your kids in on the secret Recent research has shown that 34 per cent of children think there are financial secrets in their home. Wilson cautions that this is not a good place to start. “It can seem uncomfortable for some to let children in on their financial situation, but it’s so important. When my clients’ children enter their

mid-teens, I encourage them to bring their kids into our financial planning meetings. Then they can learn how their parents spend and save their money — it’s usually very eye opening!” Teach them the importance of budgeting “In my meetings with clients, budgeting and cash flow management are some of the areas we review,” says Wilson. “At the end of the meeting, I provide my clients’ children with a budget worksheet and show them how to create their own budget. The average teenager spends $100 a week and it’s good for them to understand where that money is going and that if they spend wisely, they can save money for the future.” Educate them on the importance of compounding “Compounding is a simple concept, but one that many people fail to capitalize on,” continues Wilson. “When my clients bring their children in, I talk to them about the importance of starting to save early versus later in life. When I show them the difference they’d have to save monthly for retirement if they started saving now compared to starting to save at age 45, they’re usually quite surprised.

RESPs for my clients’ kids and they can see the 20 per cent match and watch their savings grow, it’s very empowering.” Let them earn their money “Some kids view allowance as an entitlement, but I see a lot more success when the family is viewed as a household and an allowance is something you earn for contributing to that household,” says Wilson. “Instead of asking parents for money when they want to purchase something, children can do extra chores to earn that money. It really teaches children the connection between work and money.” Give the gift of financial literacy When thinking about stocking stuffers for your children, Wilson suggests considering a book on financial literacy written for children. “There are some great books out there like ‘The Secret Life of Money — A Kid’s Guide to Cash’ by Kira Vermond and ‘The Complete Guide to Personal Finance: For Teenagers’ by Tamsen Butler. When you think about it, giving your children the knowledge and understanding to make sound financial choices in life is one of the best gifts you can give.”

City, Township on naughty list Langleys listed on Municipal Spending Watch report card as ‘disappointing’

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Some Lower Mainland cities are beginning to rein in their “out-of-control” spending, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. The business lobby group issued its annual critique of civic spending rates, which shows B.C. municipal operational spending rose 49 per cent after being adjusted for inflation from 2000 to 2010. That’s nearly four times the rate of population growth in the province and more than twice the rate of growth in disposable income for the average resident. But CFIB executive vicepresident Laura Jones said it’s a “promising sign” that the civic spending rate only rose

one per cent from 2009 to 2010. “It’s much like the early days of a diet — it really could go either way and only time will tell,” she said. “We’re still getting closer to the edge.” The 2012 Municipal Spending Watch report card credits Burnaby, Surrey and Chilliwack as among the most improved cities for cost control, while Abbotsford, Pemberton and Langley City and Township were the “most disappointing.” B.C. property taxes rose 69 per cent in the 2000s to fund higher civic spending, but government transfers to cities actually went up faster — by 273 per cent over the decade — while civic fees for services like parking and licences rose 135 per cent. The Union of B.C.

Municipalities has repeatedly taken issue with the CFIB reports, arguing they are simplistic and don’t take into account challenges like government cost downloading and runaway policing costs over which cities have little control. In the new report, CFIB calculated a B.C. family of four would have saved $4,251 over the last decade if civic spending had not exceeded the growth in population and inflation. UBCM previously estimated that reducing business tax rates to CFIB-demanded levels without cutting spending would trigger a 14.5 per cent residential tax increase of $230 for the average B.C. home. A provincially appointed expert panel on business tax competitiveness considered the property tax issue earlier this year but largely sided with UBCM and did not recommend government attempt to forcibly lower business property tax rates.

Real estate sales down in Lower Mainland

Vancouver should pare down its overly ambitious plan for a $2-billion-plus buried SkyTrain line along Broadway toward UBC, says Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. She said she’s not worried the heavily promoted Vancouver rapid transit line might take priority ahead of Surrey’s aim of building light rail lines. But Watts warned “nobody’s getting anything” until there’s a deal with the province to generate much more money in taxes or tolls for TransLink and it will be important to keep a lid on costs of proposed projects if that process is to succeed. “We can have all the grandiose ideas that we want but unless that sustainable funding policy is in place, nothing’s going to

have taken a direct shot at Vancouver’s plans. The two cities have sought to advance their rapid transit agendas in tandem without being drawn into a potentially divisive conflict over scarce funding that could unravel the broad consensus at the regional mayors’ council in dealing with Victoria. Watts spoke after Vancouver officials — led by Mayor Gregor Robertson — recently stepped up their pitch for rapid transit on the heavily congested Broadway corridor. Vancouver planners have concluded a buried SkyTrain subway is needed to avoid paralyzing traffic on Broadway with streetlevel light rail trains or streetcars. Watts challenged Vancouver and UBC officials to instead to consider other alternatives — like following SFU’s lead and building new campuses that could serve UBC students on existing transit lines. “UBC’s a small city and they built it at the end of a peninsula as far away as they could,” Watts said. “There has to be some critical thinking. Does it make sense to invest billions of dollars in infrastructure? Or does it make sense to have satellite campuses in other areas of the region?” Surrey wants three light rail lines — along 104 Avenue to Guildford, down King George Boulevard toward White Rock and southeast along Fraser Highway towards Langley. Watts said the price tag of about $2 billion

is far less and covers more of Surrey than if more expensive SkyTrain was used. There are four SkyTrain stations in north Surrey, but a better network of rapid transit connecting town centres is considered critical to shaping future growth of the city, so developers build transit-friendly walkable neighbourhoods, not ones designed mainly for cars. “We want at-grade rail to shape the city because we’re building the city,” Watts said. “Which is a very different goal and measure from a city that’s already built out.” Advocates of light rail in Vancouver have also criticized Vancouver’s SkyTrain proposal as too costly. Building SkyTrain to UBC would cost an estimated $3.2 billion, but Robertson has suggested going only to Arbutus and then switching to rapid buses to lower the cost. The light rail option on Broadway all the way to UBC was estimated at $1.1 billion. Vancouver Coun. Geoff Meggs called Watts’ comments an “interesting discussion” but added Vancouver hopes to make its rationale better understood across the region. He said Vancouver could make the argument that Surrey corridors should be built with B-Line bus service first ahead of rail in light of current Surrey ridership, but it has not done so. “We don’t quarrel with Surrey’s aspirations to grow a progressive rapid transit system,” Meggs said. He also pointed out the debate comes as the “widest bridge in the world” opens giving Surrey residents improved transportation as part of the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 project. Meggs said more than half the ridership on the Broadway corridor comes from outside Vancouver and a tunnelled SkyTrain there to UBC is the most effective solution on a route where jammed buses pass up 2,000 riders a day.

opening branches in the Willoughby Town Centre early next year. The project will continue to unfold with the first residential-retail building and an office building on the 208 Street frontage breaking ground this month. Occupancies are planned for spring 2014. Qualico is also looking to add a beer and wine store to the development but it must receive Township approval. At a public hearing on the matter last month, some residents opposed having a liquor store so close to a school. The Yorkson area of Willoughby has seen a major overhaul from homes sitting on acreage to homes sitting vacant, bought up by developers. Now the area has massive density of condominiums, rowhomes and single-family homes. This translates to a population boom in the area. A new K to 5 elementary school is currently being built in the area to accommodate the growth. For more information, visit WilloughbyTownCentre.ca.

Lee Windsor, or Mya Diction as she is known in the roller derby world, fell in love with the sport right from the get go.

Russ DESAULNIERS photo

An addiction for Mya Diction Lee Windsor was hooked right from the beginning, becoming Mya Diction Gary ahuja Times Sports

he name says it all: Mya Diction. “We put a lot of time and effort into choosing our names,” says Lee Windsor, aka Mya Diction. “Names are really personal and you tend to take on certain characteristics; it becomes your alter ego. “(And) people tend to pick names that really suit their personalities.” And for Windsor, roller derby really has become a central part of her life. “It was just the fact that three months in, I was totally in love with my sport,” she said. “It became my addiction.” The contact sport sees two teams of five members each skating in the same direction around a track. The games consist of a series of short match-ups, or jams, in which both teams designate a scoring player, or jammer, who

scores points by lapping members of the opposing team. The teams attempt to assist their own jammer while hindering the opposing jammer. Up until six years ago, when she moved to Langley, Windsor knew little about the sport. “I had never actually seen roller derby, but had heard about it,” she explained. A friend of hers got her to come out and watch a roller derby competition, and Windsor was intrigued. By the third time she had gone out as a spectator, she told herself this was something she could do. It prompted her to purchase a pair of skates — she hadn’t been on roller skates since she was a child — and read up on the sport. And while Windsor never played organized sports growing up, she has always been naturally athletic, including completing her first Ironman Canada race nine years ago. She is hooked on the sport, big time. “Go big or go home; I just can’t take anything part way,” she said. “I have to go in with both feet.” Over the years, Windsor has been on

a variety of teams, including the Reign Valley Vixens, the Anarchy Angels, the Mainland Misfits, and now is the captain of her current, team, the Free Agents Roller Derby Team. “One of the things that really drew me to the sport was on the track, the people play as hard as they can, they hit as hard as they can,” Windsor said. “They want to win.” “Off the track, people get along. You go and play hard in this physicallychallenging, maybe violent sport, and then off the track, you are excited about going out and hanging out with these people and getting to know them a lot better.” Like any sport, there are injuries, but Windsor says the adrenalin usually masks any pain. “You pretty much block everything out,” she explained. “You get off the track (between jams) and are focusing on what just happened.” As for away from the rink, Windsor — who turns 42 later this month — describes herself as more of a career woman than a soccer mom. Windsor works as the builder

administration manager for Trail Appliances in Langley and has two daughters: 18-year-old Ashley and 11-year-old Amanda. Ashley is one of the top crosscountry runners for her age group in Canada and is currently attending California Polytechnic State University on scholarship to run for the Mustangs. Amanda is occupied with running and karate. Windsor has no problems trading her business suit for her roller derby attire, which includes fishnet stockings and leg warmers. And while some may be surprised by her extracurricular activities, Windsor says once they get to know her, they know it suits her personality, which she describes as free spirited, fun and loyal. ••••• Windsor will be taking part in the first annual roller derby skills competition on Saturday (Dec. 15) at the Ag-Rec Building at Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park. The competition runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Teams of four skaters will compete in a variety of roller derby skill events.

The Langley Lightning are used to challenging teams on the ice, but this holiday season they are issuing a different sort of challenge. In lieu of exchanging gifts at their annual Christmas party, the team of 15 to 17-yearolds has decided to adopt two families this holiday season. “Christmas is the season for giving, and we realized how blessed and how privileged we are to have what we do have so we wanted to help those in need,” said Keara Graham, one of the players on the Langley Girls Female Hockey Association midget rep A team. “We realize there is so much joy that comes from giving instead of receiving, which is so important to realize how truly blessed we are,” she said. “We are coming closer together as a team and we feel it is

a great challenge for other teams to take on as well.” Team manager Trish Brown said the parents are thrilled by the excitement of the players. “Our players are so excited to do this,” she said. “They have been talking about this nonstop. “Some have never done this before and I must say, I am overwhelmed at the positive response.” When Brown spoke to people at the Christmas Bureau, she was told there were still more help needed. She decided to issue the challenge to other sports teams. “ A lot of teams do Christmas parties and gifts and stuff,” Brown said. “This is a challenge: other teams can be doing the same.” “We are coming closer as a team and we feel it is a great challenge for other teams to take on as well,” Graham said.

Langley Rivermen’s Logan Smith impedes Penticton Vees’ Louie Nanne during the Vees’ 5-1 victory at the South Okanagan Events Centre on Saturday night. But the third period saw the hosts outscore Langley 3-1with Trevor Cope tallying the lone Langley marker. And then 46 seconds into double overtime, Braden Pears earned the home side the extra point, burying the winner on a three-on-one after Langley failed to capitalize on their two-on-one break. James Barr took the loss, but did come up with a massive save on a penalty shot off Garrett McMullen with less than five minutes to go in the third period and the score tied at five. Penticton 5 Langley 1 The Vees score three times in the opening period and then twice more in the second to build a comfortable lead at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

Viktor Dombrvskiy had the lone Langley marker, scoring early in the third period. The good news for the Rivermen is they play three games this weekend — and four of the next five to close the month — at the Langley Events Centre, where the team sports a sparkling 8-2-0-2 record. The Rivermen host Coquitlam on Friday — the game is also Teddy Bear Toss Night, where fans are asked to litter the ice with stuffed animals following Langley’s first goal — Chilliwack on Saturday, with both games beginning at 7 p.m. They wrap up the weekend with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. against the Powell River Kings. The game will be the team’s final contest until Dec. 28.

While a coach will never be happy with one out of a possible four points, Bobby Henderson chooses to look on the bright side. “It was a better weekend than the results (showed),” said the coach and general manager of the Langley Rivermen. He was referring to a 6-5 double overtime loss to the Trail Smoke Eaters on Friday and a 5-1 defeat at the hands of the Penticton Vees. Both games were on the road, where Langley has struggled all year with a 2-11-0-3 record in B.C. Hockey League play. In the first game, the Rivermen squandered a 3-0 lead while in the latter, they fell behind quickly before playing better, he said. “Looking back, we outchanced them 33-9, Grade A scoring chances,” he lamented about the Trail game. “Let’s just say, we scored enough to win that game.” Against the Vees, the team surrendered a “cheesy goal” and the Vees then struck for a couple more quick ones and it was 3-0. One positive, Henderson said, was the fact his team played better after that and won the third period, 1-0. “The effort was there,” he said. “We just needed another save or two.” Trail 6 Langley 5 The Rivermen had a great start to Friday’s game at the Cominco Arena as Mark Whiteley and Mario Puskarich put the visitors ahead 2-0 after 20 minutes. And 45 seconds into the second, Evan Campbell made it a three-goal advantage. And even after Garrett McMullen and Bennett Hambrook cut the lead to 3-2, Langley looked to be in good shape as Campbell potted his second of the period — and fourth point of the game — with 44 seconds to go before intermission.

Aiden McDonald, 9, and Marcus Stang, 9, helped members of the Langley United Soccer Association collect hundreds of toys and food for families in need at Willoughby Community Park on Saturday. Miranda GATHERCOLE/ Langley Times

Little girl shows spirit The spirit of the season was on full display on Saturday during Langley United Soccer Association’s first annual food and toy drive. The local soccer association set up at Willoughby Community Park where they raised $455 in donations, as well as boxes full of food and toys, with all of that going to the Langley Food Bank. And one of the

highlights of the day was the actions of Rianna Brar, a little girl who plays in the association’s U6 program. Rianna donated all of her birthday presents for the toy drive. In an email to the soccer association, her mom Mandeep Brar said that as soon as Rianna heard about the toy drive, she quickly offered up her birthday gifts. “We were more than happy to have her associate this experience with her soccer league,” the email said. “On Saturday, she was so excited to pack up the truck and drop the toys off.

“We were a bit nervous of what her reaction would be after all the toys were gone. We are happy to say that she has not stopped talking about how happy she thinks the children will be when they get all these new toys. “Her excitement has been so overwhelming for our family; we are proud of her and her desire to want to help others.” Rianna was awarded one of the Vancouver Whitecaps ticket packages that the Langley United Soccer Association was giving away to families who donated to the drive.

Brookswood Bobcats’ guard Sydney Williams earned all-star team honours as her senior girls team finished third at the Telus Basketball Classic last week.

Cascades call for Radomski While soccer has taken Carley Radomski as far away as Guatemala with the Canadian U17 national team, her next destination will be much closer to home. Radomski, who graduates from Walnut Grove Secondary this spring, has signed with the Fraser Valley Cascades. “Her ability to play at an advanced pace and intensity level will allow her to play a pivotal role as our team continues our progression to be an elite Canada West program,” said Cascades coach Rob Giesbrecht. “Carley also possesses the character that we look for: she is a committed athlete who is determined to be successful. “She fits in very well to our

The Brookswood Bobcats won bronze at the 2012 Telus Basketball Classic. The senior girls basketball team defeated their Fraser Valley rivals, the Riverside Rapids, 79-67 on Saturday in the third-place game at the prestigious preseason tournament held every year in Vancouver. The ’Cats went 3-1 at the tournament. In the opener, they hammered Vancouver Tech 84-18, before scoring a 86-60 win over the Burnaby South Rebels in the quarter-finals. Brookswood was tripped up 86-77 to the Argyle Pipers in the semifinals, before bouncing back with the win over the Rapids. Sydney Williams was named a tournament all-star.

young, ambitious team and we cannot wait for her to join us.” Radomski has played for Langley FC and Magnusson Ford Mariners FC and with the Whitecaps Girls Elite Program. She has also played for the provincial team, attended several national youth team camps and represented Canada at the CONCACAF U17 World Cup qualifying tournament in Guatemala. “Carley is a dynamic player that can play at both a defensive or midfield position and excel at both,” said Jesse Symons, the Whitecaps Girls Elite Program director. “She has tremendous short and long range passing ability, which will help start attacks as well as keep possession.”
