Linesmen ready to hit the ice Pair of Langley NHL officials look forward to getting back to work, even for half a season Gary ahuja Times Reporter

Monique TaMMinGa

At this time last week, Lonnie Cameron was refereeing a bantam minor hockey tournament game at the Langley Twin Rinks. But with the National Hockey League and the NHLPA agreeing on a new 10-year collective bargaining agreement early Sunday morning, Cameron and another local official, Brad Lazarowich, are finally gearing up to hit the ice. All they’re awaiting is ratification of the agreement by the owners and players, which is expected to happen by Saturday. “Always happy to be going back to work,” said the 48-year-old Cameron, who enters his 17th year as an NHL linesman. Cameron did his first game in 1996 and has officiated 1,039 regular season games and another 43 playoff matches. “It is nice to see us to get back to having a season and everyone doing what they like to do,” said Lazarowich, a 50-year-old going into his 27th season. He did his first game in 1986 and he has done 1,720 regular season games and another 176 in the playoffs. The officials are expected to go to Toronto next week for two days of instruction before departing to whichever NHL city they are assigned for the anticipated Jan. 19 season start date. The season will be 48 games. “The players always say there is no substitute for games, and that is the same with us,” Cameron said. “Game speed and all that, we are going to try and get caught up as quick as we can.” With no pre-season games expected, they will endure a massive change. “We are basically going from zero to one thousand miles per hour in the span of a puck drop,” Cameron said. continued, PAGE 6

NHL linesman and Langley resident Brad Lazarowich is looking forward to getting back to work at the top level of hockey, now that the league and the players’ union have come to a tentative agreement. Lazarowich is entering his 27th season and fellow local linesman Lonnie Cameron his 17th season at the NHL level.

FOR OVER 50 YEARS

OUTSTANDING IN THEIR FIELD ...AND 3 GENERATIONS!

In front of a large contingent of bus drivers and his parents, Steven Fayant was sentenced to 22 months in jail and three years probation for what the judge called “shocking and senseless attacks.” In a Provincial courtroom in Surrey on Tuesday, a gauntlooking Fayant stood to hear his punishment for stabbing an innocent man who was getting off a transit bus in Aldergrove last February. Fayant was also sentenced to time served plus a day in jail for choking a bus driver. That attack took place in Surrey, a few days before the stabbing. He was given three years probation and numerous strict conditions after his release, including not being allowed to ride public transit without permission from his probation officer. Last year, the 20-year-old crack cocaine addict pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and assault. The Crown was asking for three years in jail and his defense lawyer asked for 14 months. Judge Paul Dohm sentenced Fayant to 33 months but brought it down to 22 months for time served. Fayant had requested he be credited for even more time served because “it has been difficult in jail.” Dohm rejected that request and said Fayant needs “to be segregated from society.” “This [sentence] sends a message to the accused that random attacks on unsuspecting individuals will not be tolerated,” said Dohm. Fayant said nothing in the court. The bus driver he choked was present in the courtroom. continued, PAGE 6

Gas thief causes spill Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Concrete and steel beams have gone up across the rail line on the 196 Street combo overpass project. The piers are in place for the portion of the overpass that will cross Highway 10, and the beams that will carry that portion of the road are to be installed on Jan. 22. Dan FERGUSON/ Langley Times

Overpass projects well underway Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

It took construction workers building the 196 Street overpass just two hours to install the steel girders that will carry cars and trucks over the busy railway tracks of the Roberts Banks rail corridor. The span went up Dec. 11. The installation was “extremely well planned and organized,” said Ken Zondervan, design and construction manager for the city of Surrey. The next big milestone for the project will take place the evening of Tuesday, Jan. 22, when steel girders are scheduled to go up across the Langley Bypass. Traffic on the Bypass will be shut down for a few hours late that night while the span is installed. The more expensive steel allows longer, thinner girders than the concrete spans that make up the rest of the overpass, Zondervan explained. The specially treated steel requires no more maintenance than concrete, he added. Zondervan said work on on the other elements of the 196 Street overpass are going well.

“It’s on or slightly ahead of schedule” The same applies to the related 54 Avenue project, which is on schedule or slightly ahead, with pile-driving well under way, Zondervan said. But work on the 192 Street span is slightly behind schedule because the relocation of gas and electrical lines was delayed. The three overpasses in Langley are known as the “combo” project that will connect 192 Street south of the tracks to 196 Street near Willowbrook Shopping Centre. There are currently about 18 trains a day using the corridor, which connects the Roberts Bank port to the Canadian rail network. Planners estimate the number could eventually climb to 38 trains a day, with many as long as 4,000 metres. The number of trucks and cars trying to cross the tracks is also expected to go up. Currently, the 54 at-grade road crossings along the corridor handle 340,000 vehicles per day. That number is expected to grow to 560,000 by 2021. Part of the project in Langley will be

an advanced train warning system with flashing signs that let drivers know that if they stay on a certain road, they will be stopped by a train. That allows traffic to detour to other routes with overpasses. Work is also progressing on two other overpasses in Langley that are part of the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor project, which is funded by the federal, provincial and municipal governments, along with TransLink, Port Metro Vancouver and four railway companies. Sand has been preloaded along Mufford Crescent and Highway 10 (Glover Road) for the Mufford overpass project, and clearing work has begun on the 232 Street overpass, just north of Highway 1. That overpass is being built to allow for an extension of the Rawlison rail siding, which will cross 232 Street. Trains will be parked there on occasion to wait for trains travelling in the other direction, prompting the need for an overpass. Another lengthened rail siding is just being completed on the rail line in Cloverdale, and now crosses 184 Street. However, it is not expected that trains will be sitting on the portion of the siding that actually crosses the street.

Work begins on expanded maternity ward Patients at Langley Memorial Hospital (LMH) are one step closer to a newly expanded maternity unit, as construction is now underway on The Vandekerkhove Family Maternity Centre. The Fraser Health Authority (FHA) issued a Request for Proposal in September 2012 to general contractors, and Vancouver-based Bird Construction was awarded the construction contract for the new centre. The expansion will include seven additional Single Room Maternity Care (SRMC) rooms, including one with improved isolation facilities, and reserved space for three additional rooms to support future expansion. LMH is one of four Fraser Health sites offering the SRMC model, which is based on best practice and contributes to a better childbirth experience by supporting family-centred

care. With the seven new rooms, the total number of SRMC spaces will increase to 20, to better manage current and future demand. The number of births at LMH is expected to increase to 2,336 by 2020 — a 28 per cent increase from 2009. In addition to the new rooms, the maternity clinic, which is currently operating out of temporary space within the hospital, will be relocated next to the maternity unit. Comprised of general practitioners with specific interests in primary maternity care, the clinic completes more than 10,000 patient visits every year. Further improvements include a dedicated Post Anaesthetic Recovery Unit (PACU) room to allow families to stay together after surgery; renovated and expanded nursery space with improved isolation facilities; additional on-call rooms for medical students who are completing

their obstetrical placement in the Langley Maternity Clinic; and multi-purpose space for team training and meetings. The new maternity unit will be named The Vandekerkhove Family Maternity Centre, in recognition of a $1 million gift from Langley’s Vandekerkhove family. The $6.5 million project is being funded by the community through Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation’s commitment of $5.35 million, with the additional $1.15 million funded by FHA. FHA is also funding various infrastructure projects totaling $5.5 million, which are required to support the LMH maternity expansion, and will also fund its ongoing operational costs. Construction is scheduled for completion in late 2013, at which time four beds will open. The three remaining beds will open in 2015.

A thief drilled into the gas tank of a small school bus causing the remainder of the liquid to spill into a Langley City fish-bearing creek on Saturday. Around 5 p.m., Langley City fire department was called out to the area of 206A Street and Duncan Way for the smell of gas and another complaint that an oil slick had appeared at nearby Logan Creek, said deputy fire chief Bob Scott. “Our crews responded and with the assistance of City engineering staff we put out booms to collect the gas into the creek and at the culvert,” said Scott.”We were able to contain the spill.” With the help of Langley RCMP, it was determined that the gas came from a school bus that had its gas tank drilled. There have been a fair number of gas thefts in Langley over the past six months where thieves drill a hole in the gas tank. The damage is very costly to repair. While there haven’t been any reports of injuries, the potential for an explosion from sparks caused by the drilling of the tank is a reality, said police.

Three injured in crash Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

Three people were sent to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries after a two-car crash at the intersection of 256 Street and Robertson Crescent on Tuesday afternoon. Around 5:30 p.m., a red Pontiac sedan was heading east on Robertson Crescent when it stopped at the stop sign. The driver proceeded into the intersection when the Pontiac was struck by a northbound black Acura SUV. The Acura spun and hit a power pole, bringing wires down and knocking out power to around 2,500 homes in the area for about an hour. The Pontiac was forced into a ditch. The 19-year-old driver of the Pontiac, along with her 17-year-old and 42-yearold passengers, were all rushed to hospital in critical condition. The 36-year-old driver of the Acura didn’t need medical assistance. The crash is still under investigation but police don’t believe speed or alcohol were factors. It was raining heavily at the time of the crash and Robertson is a very dark road. In February, 2011, Coleton Nelson, 12, was killed in a crash at that same intersection.

New PresideNt sPeaks Alan Davis, the new president of Kwantlen Polytechnic University, will speak on Wednesday evening to the four Langley Rotary clubs at their annual joint gathering at Newlands Golf Club. Each club president will give a report about their local and international projects. Langley’s Rotary Clubs often work together on projects larger than each individual club would be able to undertake. Langley Rotary Club will be presenting a cheque to Davis to create an endowed scholarship at Kwantlen.

Community plan needs input Public invited to open houses on Jan. 15 and 19 at Brookswood Monique TaMMinga Times Reporter

The Township is going ahead with two public open houses to receive input on the Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan. The first open houses take place on Tuesday, Jan. 15

from 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the small gym at Brookswood Secondary. The second is on Saturday, Jan. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. also at BSS. The Township will present information gathered from the public consultation workshops that were held in October. Each of those workshops were full with many residents interested and concerned about what Brookswood could look like. Some have worried it will become the next Willoughby, which some feel is

overpopulated and too dense. Property owners, business owners, and residents of the community are encouraged to attend. The open houses are being held in conjunction with the Anderson Creek Integrated Stormwater Management Plan. The new plan is named the Griffith Neighbourhood Plan. It is named after Robert Griffith who, in 1901, owned 160 acres north of 36 Avenue and west of 200 Street; a stretch of 200 Street was once named for him.

You & The Law

PRESENTS Buying or selling a tenanted home or condo Buying or selling a residential property in B.C. which is currently leased out to tenants adds another wrinkle to the deal – you have to consider the tenants’ rights under B.C.’s Residential Tenancy Act. In general, the Act covers any living accommodation rented out to a tenant, including an apartment building, house, condominium, manufactured home or townhouse. If the buyer (or a close family member) wants to move into the rented space, the Act aims to give the tenant and his family enough time to find an alternative place to live, and in some cases, makes provision for compensation, helping to cover some of the costs and hassle of moving. At the same time, the Act tries not to be overly harsh on the landlord, who may well have legitimate reasons for selling, or on the proposed buyer. When can the seller show the property? Between 8 am and 9 pm, if the landlord gives at least 24 hours’ prior written notice to the tenant (stating the date, time and reason for entry). If the tenant isn’t personally given the notice, but instead receives it by mail or having it tacked to his front door, then he is entitled to an additional three to five days’ of notice. Once proper notice is given, the tenant doesn’t have to be present for the showing. Ideally, the landlord and tenant can pre-agree on a set schedule for showings, minimizing the inconvenience to both. How much time does the tenant have to move out? Selling a property doesn’t mean the tenant can be kicked out immediately. Once the sale has gone firm, the tenant is entitled to at least two months’ written notice before he can be forced to vacate. The notice must have

been requested by the buyer after all the other conditions have been removed. The tenant is also entitled to get compensation equal to one month’s rent. These rules apply if the rental is a month-tomonth or other periodic tenancy for an indefinite term, or is for a fixed term that continued (or was deemed by the Act to continue) afterwards as a month-tomonth tenancy. If the tenant receives this notice, he can always vacate sooner if he wishes. He just needs to give at least 10 days’ notice and pay the rent up to the new planned end date. The situation is different if the rental is for a specific fixed term, like a one-year lease, and the tenancy agreement says that the tenant must vacate at the end of the term (as most do). In this case, the tenant must move out at the end of the term and isn’t entitled to any financial compensation. The seller can’t toss the tenant out before the end of the fixed term, and any sale completed inside that one-year period will be subject to the existing tenancy. There are many other detailed rules in the Act, including rules dealing with security deposits, pet deposits, resolution of disputes, required clauses, etc. If you are buying or selling a tenanted property or face any serious tenancy matters or disputes, you may wish to consult your lawyer so you don’t get offside of the applicable rules.

This is the third work stoppage during Lazarowich’s time with the NHL. The 2004/05 season was completely lost, while there was a shortened season in 1994/95. He remembers the urgency of the players. “I have seen the 48-game schedule, it is just like a sprint,” Lazarowich said about teams not being able to afford a prolonged losing streak. While a shortened season in a condensed time frame — the regular season likely needs to be done by late April — means more wear and tear and travel, the officials are just glad their livelihood is back. “We went through the 2004/05 lockout and that really sucked,” said Cameron. “We didn’t want to see that come to fruition again. “I think both sides realized we needed a season, or somewhat semblance of a season.” During the lockout, Cameron said the officials were just like the fans. “We were as blacked out and uninformed as everyone else,” he said.

“We had no intel, nothing, nobody on the inside. “We didn’t know a thing, which is frustrating thing because emotionally, it is a roller coaster.” One silver lining over the extended off-season — typically pre-season games would be played in September — was the chance to be home more. For Cameron, that meant helping coach his sons — 10-year-old Logan plays atom and 12-year-old Brayden plays peewee — with the Langley Minor Hockey Association. Cameron did say his sons were a bit disappointed that he won’t be around to attend their upcoming tournaments. Lazarowich has a 22-yearold daughter Kimberly, who attends the University of the Fraser Valley, while 19-year-old Sarah is at Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne (IPFW) on a softball scholarship. Both Cameron and Lazarowich tried to stay sharp, albeit in different ways. Cameron spent time on the ice refereeing minor hockey while Lazarowich was able to get his left knee scoped. He also spent the past four

months volunteering with both B.C. Hockey League and the B.C. Hockey Association as a linesman supervisor. “Everybody did different stuff to keep busy and I wanted to do off-ice stuff,” he said. “It was an opportunity for me to give back and help out, a chance to keep myself busy.” Part of his work with the BCHL — which already has the Brad Lazarowich Award for the league’s top linesman — included traveling around the province and meeting with officials to provide feedback. He also hosted a number of events for on-ice officials and provided insight on evaluating referees. “It allows you to step back a little bit, slow your life down just because we are usually so busy travelling,” Lazarowich said. With two young schoolaged children, Cameron took the opportunity to help out around the house as much as he could. “When I am away, my wife (Nancy), she has to do it all,” he said. “So you help out as best as you can.”

Driver remains traumatized Bus Attack, from PAGE 1

But the man is still too traumatized from the experience to talk about it to the media. Upon Fayant’s release from jail he isn’t to have any contact with his victims and is not allowed to be in Langley City or in Aldergrove. The judge said that if Fayant refuses to take prescribed medication, he will be forced to report to his probation officer daily. In his judgment, Dohm told of Fayant, who grew up in a dysfunctional family setting but became “unmanageable” by age 13. His dad kicked him out then, and he was already using drugs and alcohol and stealing. He went from foster care homes to couch surfing and living on the streets. He quit school before 16 and has no vocational skills. The psychologist who assessed him said he has little interest in getting therapy and it’s unlikely he would benefit from counselling. He has been to five recovery houses and has been kicked out for not living by house rules. The bus driver Fayant choked suffered emotionally and feared going back to work. Outside the courtroom, Coast Mountain bus driver union representative Gavin Davies said the sentence was a “step in the right direction.” “It’s good the courts are taking these cases seriously,” said Davies, who added he has four more similar cases to attend this month. Davies said bus drivers don’t want to put up shields to protect them. “The best way to deal with this is stiffer penalties,” Davies said. “So the next time a rider is upset a bus is late, they will think twice about spitting on the driver or throwing coffee at them because it might land them in jail.” On Feb. 18, 2012, Fayant got on a bus near 76 Avenue and King George Blvd. and told the driver he didn’t have enough for the fare. The bus was full. Not long afterwards, the on-board bus security video recorded Fayant lunging at the driver and grabbing him around the throat.

Langley Times file photo

A transit bus became a crime scene in Aldergrove last February after Donald Fayant stabbed a man who was getting off the bus. Fayant will serve 22 months in jail for the attack, as well as for an attempt to choke a bus driver in Surrey days earlier. The driver suffered a small nick to his neck, likely from a fingernail. Fayant fled the scene. He later told a psychiatrist that he tried to choke the driver because he didn’t like the way the man was driving the bus. On Feb. 21, Fayant stabbed a 41-year-old man in the back with a large kitchen knife after both men got off a bus near Aldergrove Centre Mall. The injured man suffered a lacerated kidney, underwent surgery and was unable to work for three months. Fayant told the psychiatrist he believed two men sitting near him on the bus were laughing at him and were somehow connected to an 2010 incident where he was abducted and beaten over a drug debt. In fact, the victim had just moved to B.C. from Ontario and was talking with his brother. Neither knew Fayant. The psychiatric assessment rated Fayant as a high to high-to-moderate risk for violent behaviour.

A portion of the shoulder of 8 Avenue between 200 and 192 Streets washed out during the heavy rainstorm on Tuesday. The road was closed between those two points on Wednesday morning, and the City of Surrey said it would remain closed for the rest of the day. The road traverses a steep hill just as it enters Surrey, and part of the shoulder washed down into a nearby ravine. Surrey officials said they needed to examine what effect the washout has had on the road and adjacent drainage systems. Traffic was being detoured to nearby 16 Avenue. Langley Township officials on Wednesday were also looking at their portion of the road between 196 and 200 Streets, most of which is on the level.

The end of Kyoto

Wealth of information

he new year brought in one longoverdue change — the end of the Kyoto Protocol. Canada signed the climate change initiative back in 2002, when Jean Chretien was still prime minister. It called for a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions — six per cent below 1990 levels by 2012. Not surprisingly, that didn’t happen. In fact, overall world carbon emissions are up by 58 per cent over those of 1990. Is there a need to keep the growth of carbon emissions to more reasonable levels? Of course. There is considerable proof of at least some global warming, although many skeptics say that the science has been corrupted by political activism. No one can deny, though, that both the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps are shrinking and the waters close to the Poles are open for far longer periods than ever recorded before. It’s simply good behaviour to cut back on carbon emissions as much as possible, if for no other reason than to conserve precious fossil fuel resources and actively promote alternatives that do not emit nearly as much carbon. Nonetheless, Kyoto was never a viable option. The biggest polluters in the world refused to sign it or even abide by its most modest aims. Its call for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions were unrealistic, unless the developed world was to go into a self-induced depression. As it is, most of the developed world has been in a serious recession for the past four years and emission levels are still rising. The B.C. government was late in jumping on the Kyoto bandwagon, with a carbon tax, carbon credit purchases by government bodies and promotion of alternative fuels. While the latter makes some sense, the first two do not. The carbon tax is simply a cash cow for the province that we will never get rid of. It has not changed behaviour but, like the property purchase tax, it handsomely lines government pockets. The carbon credit program involves taxpayers subsidizing private companies for capital projects that they would likely undertake anyway. It is ridiculous to demand that schools and hospitals be carbon neutral when the tax dollars spent to do so go to the private sector. The federal and provincial governments need to have realistic programs to reduce emissions, and not buy into climate propaganda.

ost Nanaimo property owners are receiving their property assessments in the mail. For many, this important piece of information is quickly glanced at and discarded into the junk mail pile — it is accepted simply for what it is. But with that number comes a wealth of information on how a property is valued, far more than just how much you will be expected to pay in July when taxes are due. The arrival of assessments is only a small piece of a much larger picture that triggers a complex system of property tax calculations, and how the money collected by the city is used to pay for roads, sewers, recreation facilities, social programs and other services. Part of the property tax each property owner pays also funds the local school district, hospital, library and other services. As assessments arrive, local politicians are already working to determine how the city will spend the average of $3,000 for each residential property. This year in Nanaimo, the $175 million budget will be fuelled mostly by the $89 million the city will collect in property taxes. Though a recent survey indicated that 90 per cent of Nanaimo property owners are content with how their tax money is spent, many don’t realize how much influence they can have at the local government level, unlike senior levels of government. How much your largest asset is worth and how the tax money it generates is used to keep public services working are two subjects worth knowing a little bit about. After all, would you invest $3,000 annually in a stock without doing some research? Hopefully not. However, if you’d prefer to swallow the blue pill instead of the red pill, there are still many interesting features available on the B.C.

Badly treated by border agents Editor: On Dec. 22, my mother and I went to the United States to do some grocery shopping. We were out of the country for about three hours. We bought jugs of milk, eggs, cheese, cat food, vitamin water and two scarves. On our way back across the border at the Sumas-Huntingdon crosing, we were treated horribly. I felt more welcomed going into the United States then I did coming back into my own country. The border agent asked us so many questions — where we live, how long we were down, what we were bringing back, who the vehicle belonged to, if this was the border we used coming down, how far south did we go, if that’s only how far we went, etc. He told us to unlock the vehicle. He went and searched the back of the car and went through our grocery bags. He came back around and told us to pull in and go inside, so we did. We went inside and the border agent took our passports and our receipts and asked if this is all we purchased. He asked if we had

any electronic device and we said we had our cellphones. He told us we needed to give them to him. My Mom was in the middle of calling my Dad to tell him what was going on when the border agent said that if she didn’t hang up and give him the phone, he would have her arrested. They were treating us like we were criminals, treating us horribly. We had done nothing wrong. He took our phones and keys to the car and went to search them. About 10 minutes later, he called us back up and sent us on our way, as if nothing was wrong. What’s that all about? The agent treated us that way, as if we were hiding something, and then acted like nothing was wrong and told us we could leave. This came after he took our phones and threatened to arrest us. Once we left the building, I looked at my phone. They had been searching through my phone, my text messages, and my photos. Fortunately, my Mom’s phone wasn’t able to be searched because her phone had a lock on it, but because mine didn’t they helped

themselves to search through my private life for no reason at all. They also did something to break my phone. It can no longer phone out. It says “Call Failed,” and when I text out it says “Not Delivered.” We called Canada Border Services Agency and complained, and told them the agent broke my phone, and I can no longer receive or send out phone calls or messages. They said they don’t know what happened, it was a random inspection and I would have to take my phone into a repair shop to find out what’s wrong with it, because they can’t fix it. I had to restore my phone to factory settings to get it to work. I lost contacts, over 1,000 personal photos, and text messages. It’s good to know this is the way we are treated in our own country, and just for $70 worth of groceries. I’m disgusted to be a Canadian right now, and so embarrassed that these border agents are the faces of Canada. Melissa McLean, Langley

Editor: Re: Letter by Frank Sterle (The Times, Jan. 1). The writer stated that he was trying to avoid “needless critique or bashing Christianity and Christians.” Yet that was precisely what he did, at some length. If his message had been about other formal faiths in our society, there would almost certainly have been a variety of acerbic responses. Most Christians simply have taken such criticism “on the nose” and said little.

Such general criticism of our materialistic society is sadly true, but the guilt is very general and unrecognized by many, both rich and less so. After all, it was the commercial Christmastime mesage — to spend and spend some more. The writer chose to use such words as “hypocrisy”, “coveting a neighbour’s possessions” and “gratuitous wealth” in his generalizations about “some Christians.” Could

his words not have applied to many other people in our society? His referral to our search for a “just society” should surely continue both at home and abroad, regardless of the time of year or any proscribed faith. Why was the writer so negative in his wording? Perhaps I should forgive him. It would be Christian of me to do so. Rhys Griffiths, Langley

‘Christian bashing’ not appreciated, but forgiven

Criticism of Ferguson’s lack of response unjustified Editor: This is a response to Bob Duncan’s comments in your Dec. 27, 2012 issue. Councillor Steve Ferguson deferred his travel allowance to charity. Obviously this is a far more constructive use of the funds than feeding this man’s ego. If Duncan’s home is only four blocks from

Ferguson’s, perhaps he should consider going for a walk, as opposed to complaining about unread emails. I very much doubt that a well-respected councillor such as Ferguson will lose any sleep over the vote of someone who clearly feels he is somehow more important than

the rest of the members of our community. As far as I know, the neighborhood is still called Fernridge, not Bobridge. I advise Duncan to stay close to his computer. I’m sure a response to his email is pending. Neil McGregor, Brookswood

Grocery store praised for supporting community Editor: Over the last several years, SaveOn Foods in Langley (Willoughby) has been quietly and generously helping us, a local church, to help the community around us. The store kindly sold us meat at a sale price so we could make a beautiful stew for about 400 Downtown Eastside homeless residents. The

The store has helped make Christmas specil for local Langley residents through the Langley Christmas Bureau. Store employees assembled, packed and then delivered to our church the large hampers full of food that we requested. Once the hampers arrived, we delivered them to the Langley residents who were registered with the Christmas Bureau.

Save-On Foods is dedicated to their community. It is a business that has gone above and beyond, and it is much appreciated. To all of you at Save-On Foods, we wish to say thank you, on behalf of Langley, our community and our church. Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church

President taken to task for criticism Editor: U.S. President Barack Obama insulted Prime Minister Stephen Harper when he didn’t realize the camera is running. I have sent the following email to the president. Dear Mr. Obama, As one of your “good neighbour Canadians,” I have been watching and following your tenure as the president of the U.S.A. You have been very successful in leading us to believe that finally, the U.S.A. has a president who is elegant, well-spoken and whose image is one of sophistication and couth. As such, I am shocked and disappointed to learn of the insults you made about our prime minister last month. It is disgraceful that a man in your position, who claims to value the relationship and friendship of your northern neighbours, would make such immature and rude comments about Harper, behind his back. As a result, I will never again hold you in such high esteem as I have over the past four years. You have disappointed me and millions of other Canadians. By the way, Mr. President, if you are not aware, 10,000 Americans will be murdered by guns on American soil in 2013. Perhaps you should worry about that, rather than what another world leader looks like. Wanda Robinson, Aldergrove

Campaign tackles stigma of Alzheimer’s For All your If a close friend told you she has dementia, would you avoid her for fear of being embarrassed by what she might say or do? If you answered “yes,” you’re not alone. According to a recent poll by Alzheimer’s Disease International, 40 per cent of people with dementia reported they had been avoided or treated differently after diagnosis. It’s no surprise, then, that one in four respondents cited stigma as a reason to conceal their diagnosis, says Rose Puszka, the Langley, Cloverdale and North Surrey support and education co-ordinator for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. That’s why the society has chosen “See me, not my disease. Let’s talk about dementia,” as the theme of the annual Alzheimer Awareness Month, which runs through January nationally. The goal is to address myths about the disease, shift attitudes and make it easier to talk about dementia, says Puszka. “Stereotypes and misinformation are what prevent people with dementia from getting

the help they need and stop others from taking the disease seriously.” For example, Alzheimer’s disease is more than having the occasional “senior moment” or losing your keys. It is a progressive degenerative brain disorder that affects each person differently. Sadly, it is fatal and there is no cure. “Although one in three Canadians know someone with dementia, it is not discussed as openly as other chronic illnesses, so the prevalence is there but the conversation isn’t yet and that’s what we hope to address,” explains Puszka. Today, 747,000 Canadians have dementia, 70,000 of those people are British Columbians. While dementia can affect people as young as 40 years of age, the risk doubles every five years after 65. The number of Canadians with dementia is expected to double to 1.4 million in the next 20 years, including more than 177,000 British Columbians. “By talking more openly about dementia, we can all help to increase awareness about the symptoms, encour-

age earlier diagnosis and provide support for families to have the confidence and skills for the journey ahead.” To help change the conversation, she says, area residents can do their part if they: • Learn the facts about dementia. Help to dispel inaccurate information to change society’s attitudes and opinions towards people with the disease. • Stop making jokes about Alzheimer’s which trivialize the condition. • Maintain relationships with people with dementia at home, in the community or at work, especially as the disease progresses. To learn more about the Let’s Talk About Dementia campaign, visit www.alzheimerbc.org. For information contact Puszka at 604-533-5277 or rpuszka@alzheimerbc.org. Alzheimer Society of B.C. provides a province-wide network of support, education, and information resources for families impacted by dementia. It also advocates for better dementia health care and raises money to fund research.

Claudia Launhardt, Ph.D., adjunct professor of anthropology and sociology at Trinity Western University, sits in discussion with a student.

TWU scores seventh consecutive A+ in quality of education Annual survey asks undergrad students to grade their schools TWU has scored yet another top mark for the standard of education it provides — this time in the category of “quality of teaching and learning” The Globe and Mail’s 2013 Canadian University Report awarded Trinity Western University an A+ in quality of teaching and learning, a category that replaced the previous quality of education. The university also received an A+ in the categories of campus atmosphere, student/ faculty interaction, and class size. This is the seventh consecutive year that TWU has received an A+ for is quality of education — something that has not been achieved by any other university. “Our strategic directions document, Envision the Century, places a strong emphasis on educational vitality, on delivering a holistic student experience of learning and discovery,” said President Jon-

athan S. Raymond. “Seven consecutive years of A+ in quality of education is not a surprise, because we believe that quality matters and makes all the difference in the graduates we produce. “An investment in a TWU education is an investment in quality that lasts a lifetime.” Areas of study that received particular commendation include religious studies, nursing, business, education, psychology, and human kinetics. In particular, the report highlighted several student comments which include: “The professors are always giving more time to the students than they have to. They’re willing to sacrifice their time so that we can do our absolute best.” Communications graduate and pre-med student Leigh Boyle (’09) recounts her undergraduate experience at Trinity Western as helping her to discover her passion for

serving others in the video “One Journey.” Among several other improvements this year, students gave TWU an impressive A in the category of student residences, compared to the B- it received in the previous year’s report. TWU also received A- to A rankings in the areas of student satisfaction, research opportunities, information technology, career preparation, academic counseling, work-play balance, instructors’ teaching style, co-op/internships, reputation with employers, libraries, and recreation and athletics. The Globe and Mail, in partnership with a consulting company called Higher Education Strategies, annually polls more than 30,000 undergraduate students in Canada, asking them more than 100 questions about their university. The grading scale was based on a 1-9 score of satisfaction.

Owners of the Cache Creek regional landfill have agreed to pay royalties to two local aboriginal bands and pass the cost on to Metro Vancouver, without the regional district’s consent.

Metro Vancouver stuck paying landfill royalties RD fought payments to First Nations over Cache Creek dump Jeff Nagel Black Press

It now costs Metro Vancouver more to use the Cache Creek regional landfill because the dump’s owner is paying royalties to local First Nations and passing along the cost. Belkorp Environmental, the parent firm of landfill operator Wastech, agreed more than three years ago to pay the Ashcroft and Bonaparte Indian bands a royalty on each tonne of garbage dumped at Cache Creek, in order to secure the bands’ support for Belkorp's planned expansion of the landfill. Metro challenged Wastech’s decision to pass along the royalty costs, arguing the regional district never agreed to the fees and they shouldn’t be counted as part of landfill’s operating costs. An arbitrator ruled in favour of Wastech in November and upheld the payments. Metro won’t disclose exactly how much taxpayers’ money now flows to the two bands via the landfill owners, citing confidentiality of the arbitration process. But when the province approved an initial extension of the landfill in early 2010, the environment ministry said royalties to local communities would be worth $1 million a year. Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt said the royalties might mean at most a one or two per cent increase in Metro’s landfilling costs, but adds he thinks “a re-evaluation of the whole deal” with Wastech is justified. “That was never part of an agreement we made with Wastech,” Hunt said. “This was a deal Wastech cut on their own behalf to do a future proposal of a future expansion of the Cache Creek landfill. It should

come out of their money, not our money.” Richmond Mayor and Metro zero waste committee chair Malcolm Brodie said he was also “surprised and disappointed” by the arbitrator's decision, but noted it is final. “I find it alarming that a company not a party to the contract with Metro Vancouver can negotiate a royalty and pass along that royalty to Wastech Marvin and then to Hunt Metro Vancouver.” Brodie said the issue highlights the need for Metro Vancouver to own and control its own wastedisposal facilities, noting such a problem wouldn’t arise at the Metro-owned garbage incinerator in Burnaby. The region intends to build a new waste-to-energy plant over the next several years to end its use of the Cache Creek landfill and most directors so far support regional district ownership of the new plant, not a P3 model where a private firm owns it. Metro can absorb the extra royalty costs, Brodie said, because the region is running a surplus in its $105-million budget for solid waste management. Belkorp didn't secure unanimous backing from aboriginal leaders — the Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council continues to oppose expansion of the landfill and did not agree to take royalties. Wastech officials couldn’t be reached for comment.

2013 to be the year of remarkable changes

Morningstar Homes photo

Bob de Wit, CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, says that Metro Vancouver will see “a greater utilization of the buildable ... land-base” in 2013.

The Lower Mainland will continue to see the influence of rapid transit in 2013, with communities such as Surrey’s City Centre and Richmond continuing to grow. Home construction will also continue, with a trend towards smaller spaces.

it lends a touch of elegance that you cannot get from paint. Several new home developments have integrated wallpaper into their show homes. Similarly, classic and traditional decor is still king, with chic moulding, hardwood flooring and cool paint colours. “People like a timeless, classic look,” Gallop says.

He sees that trend continuing, saying “look for greater utilization of the buildable Lower Mainland land-base.” When it comes to home decor, wallpaper is making a comeback. Sarah Gallop of Sarah Gallop Design Inc. notes that while many homeowners have something akin to posttraumatic stress disorder from bad wallpaper in the 1980s,

As we usher in 2013, it might be time to consider where the real estate market is going. Whether it’s our population, home decor or the size of our dwelling, some professionals in the industry have some ideas on what we’ll see this year. “We are very fortunate to have a strong immigrant community,” says Michael Hungerford of Hungerford Properties. “It makes for constant change. That’s what Vancouver is about.” The past year has seen the continued rapid growth of Surrey and Richmond in particular, Hungerford says. He believes that this will continue, and is happy to say that Hungerford Properties will be part of it with a new project in Richmond. “Richmond has a really visionary plan,” he says, adding that the Canada Line has really contributed to this. With a large Asian population in the city centre itself, he sees the face of Richmond being quite different in the future. “2013 will have some remarkable changes to food, culture, shopping, everything,” he says. “It will be really exciting to see.” But it’s not just the cities themselves that will be seeing a few changes next year. “The trend over the last year and moving forward is toward smaller housing forms,” says Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association CEO Bob de Wit. “Whether it’s microsuites in condominium developments or progressively smaller lots sizes for detached homes.”

City examining how to better utilize its properties Brenda anderson Times Reporter

The City of Langley is taking a long look at some of the underutilized properties within its boundaries in an effort to see which ones can be put to better purpose — sprucing up the municipality and potentially raising its tax base in the process. Last month, the City unveiled its Brownfield Redevelopment Strategy, which was created in partnership with Colliers International and will be presented to the business community at an upcoming meeting of the Urban Development Institute (UDI). “This report — the first of its kind at the local government level in B.C. — builds on the Downtown Master Plan as well as the economic development strategy to explore the economic realities of brownfield redevelopment in the City of Langley,” Gordon Easton, director of planning and development management at Colliers International, told council at its Dec. 17 meeting. Brownfields are defined as “abandoned, vacant, derelict or underutilized commercial or industrial properties, where past actions have resulted in actual or perceived contamination and where there is an active potential for redevelopment.”

Property in the City which is deemed most appropriate for brownfield development lies north of Fraser Highway, between Glover Road and 200 Street — particularly in the light industrial area along Logan Avenue. In the report, the City’s pedestrian friendly downtown core is counted as a mark strongly in its favour, along with the municipality’s speedy development approvals process and pro-development council. However, a small inventory of developable sites, potential time delays due to absentee landlords living overseas, aging municipal infrastructure and a potentially marginal increase in land value could work against the City, the report continued. City staff are excited about the plan, said Gerald Minchuk, director of development services and economic development, adding they will be promoting brownfield development to the business community at upcoming events, including the Feb. 5 UDI breakfast, which will be held at Cascades Casino. Councillor Gayle Martin said she is amazed by the potential that exists for land parcels, where the average person could look at and see no possibilities at all. “I look forward to seeing proposals (for brownfield development) in the community,” she said.

A map details the industrial zoned properties in Langley City: the dark purple parcels show industrial zoned sites, while the light purple shows mixed employment zoned properties; the red boundary on the map shows the area that is considered most appropriate for brownfield redevelopment opportunities. Councillor Dave Hall asked what the recommended time frame is on the development process. “As transit extends out here, people are sitting on their land waiting to see what will happen. Are there great expectations that the property we see as VANCOUVER

Metro real estate market to pick up steam in late 2013 End in sight for ‘mild market correction’: economist Jeff Nagel Black Press

Home prices dipped in much of the Lower Mainland last year but not by nearly enough to count as a bursting of what some had considered a real estate bubble. The composite benchmark price of all residential property in Greater Vancouver dropped 5.8 per cent from the price peak in May to the end of 2012. That represented a 2.3 per cent one-year drop from December of 2011, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. “It’s a mild market correction,” said Credit Union Central economist Helmut Pastrick. He predicts a continued soft real estate market for the next

several months before buying and prices perk up in the second half of the year. Pastrick bases his forecast on improving growth in the U.S. that will spill over into B.C. later in the year, and spur continued economic growth and home price gains in 2014-16. He said the recent decline in prices may also help draw some prospective buyers back into the property market. Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board president Eugen Klein said the “modest” change in home prices and the steeper 22 per cent drop in overall sales reflected a “collective hesitation” of home buyers and sellers. The benchmark price for detached houses in the Greater Vancouver area was down 2.7 per cent year-over-year to $904,000. Composite residential prices fell the most in 2012 on the Sunshine Coast (-6.3 per cent), Richmond (-5.3 per cent) and Vancouver’s west side (-2.8 per cent.)

Areas that gained year-overyear included Port Moody (up three per cent), Pitt Meadows (up 2.6 per cent) and Coquitlam (up 1.3 per cent.) The average single detached home owner in Greater Vancouver saw an 18 per cent gain over the past five years, but apartment owners actually lost money — 1.3 per cent — over the same period. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board reported a benchmark detached house price of $539,000 — up 1.2 per cent from a year ago. Townhouses were down 2.2 per cent and apartments were up 1.6 per cent. “The last half of 2012 was like a Mexican standoff,” said FBREB president Scott Olson. “Buyers kept hoping for greater price drops while sellers who didn’t have to sell just took their home off the market rather than lower their price.” Sales in the Fraser Valley were down 11 per cent for the year.

Langley A3 Eagles Justin Park executes a perfect spin move against the Nanaimo Clippers en route to a goal during his team’s 11-1 rout. The Eagles went on to capture the gold medal at the Langley Minor Hockey Association bantam touranment held Jan. 2 to 4 at the Langley Twin Rinks.

Gary AHUJA/Langley Times

Langley A2 Eagles’ Dawson Brown (#8) fires a shot at Mission Stars goalie Jackson Pekeski during his team’s 5-1 victory in the round robin portion of the Langley Minor Hockey Association bantam rep tournament at Langley Twin Rinks last week; Eagles’ Jonathan Stein braces for a hit behind the net from Mission’s Bailey Dhaliwal. The Eagles went on to capture the gold medal in their division as well.

Eagles golden on home ice

A pair of local bantam hockey teams were anything but hospitable as the Langley Minor Hockey Association hosted a bantam A2/A3 rep hockey tournament at Twin Rinks last week. Both the Langley A2 and A3 Eagles did not drop a single game and took gold in their respective

divisions. For the A2 squad, who played in the Golden Eagle Pool, it was a 5-3 win over the Kamloops T2 Predators in the gold medal game. This came on the heels of a 4-3 win over the Mission A1 Stars in the semifinals. In the team’s round robin games, Langley was 3-0-1, beating

Kamloops 6-2, the Mission A1 Stars 5-1 and the Vancouver A2 Thunderbirds 7-3. They tied the Coquitlam A2 Chiefs 1-1. The A3 Eagles filled the net en route to winning all six games. During pool play, they outscored their foes 33-2 before facing a stiff test in the semifinals, a 4-2 win over the Burnaby Winter

Club. In the Bald Eagle Pool championship final, the Langley posted a 5-1 win over the Vancouver A3 Thunderbirds. In pool play, the Eagles beat the Cloverdale A3 Colts 7-0, the Vancouver A3 Thunderbirds 8-1, the Nanaimo T3 Clippers 11-0 and the Burnaby Winter Club 7-1.

Save time When the new 10-lane bridge is complete, it will be twice the size of the old one, which will reduce congestion and save you time – you could cut your drive in half. Less idling also means less money spent at the gas pump, with some drivers saving up to a litre in fuel each day. A series of interchanges and overpass improvements provide faster, safer travel to and from the highway. With less congestion and more reliability, you’ll be able to better predict how long your drive will take and make sure you arrive on time.

period, each side struck once in the third before Derek Sutliffe’s second of the game in overtime earned Langley the extra point. On Monday, Sutliffe, who also had an assist versus Chilliwack, was named the BCHL player of the week. Mario Puskarich had the other two Rivermen goals and the sniper leads the BCHL in both goals (26) and points (52). Hogg was again solid in net with 27 saves. “The points are huge,” Henderson said. “(And) the Sunday games are always tough, but at the end of the day, they found a way to get it done, so we will take the two points.” While his team is trending in the right direction, Henderson

said there is still work to be done. “Obviously it is nice to get some wins, but we can still improve,” he said. “There are lots of areas we need to work on and we are aware of that. “It might not be glaring mistakes, but within our group, there are certain fundamentals and habits that we try and have, just something that we are always trying to work on. (But) we like the signs we are seeing.” A big difference between this season and last is goal scoring. In 2011/12, the Rivermen were last in the Coastal Conference and second-last in the BCHL with 2.90 goals per game. By comparison, with

one-third of the season remaining, Langley is tops in the league with 3.54 goals per game. Not surprisingly, the Rivermen are on pace for 58 points, a 14-point improvement over last year. “Give our forwards credit, they can all skate and they are all pretty aggressive players,” said Henderson. “They have a good combination of skill and compete and are finding some chemistry.” The Rivermen will look to make it five in a row when they host the Penticton Vees on Saturday ( Jan. 12) at the Langley Events Centre. Puck drop is 7:15 p.m. The team also hosts the South Surrey Eagles at the LEC on Jan. 13 at 2 p.m.

15TH ANNUAL

Langley Rivermen’s Mario Puskarich is rubbed out along the boards by Cowichan Valley Capitals’ Nathan Deyell on Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. Puskarich scored twice — he leads the BCHL with 26 goals and 52 points — in a 4-3 Rivermen overtime victory, the team’s fourth straight win.

15TH ANNUAL 15TH ANNUAL

Two more victories — and points in eight of their past 10 games — have the Langley Rivermen playing some of their best hockey of the season. The Rivermen were perfect on the weekend, beating the first-place Chilliwack Chiefs 6-3 on Saturday night at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre and then the following afternoon at the Langley Events Centre, a 4-3 overtime win against the lastplace Cowichan Valley Capitals. The four points improve Langley to 15-14-1-5 and gives them a three-point cushion, with a game in hand, over the fifth-place Coquitlam Express. “Everybody is clicking right now,” said Langley coach and general manager Bobby Henderson. “Everybody is playing to their capability. We have four lines going and three D-pairings; goaltending has been good and everybody is contributing.” The victory over Chilliwack was the first time Langley’s new junior A hockey club beat Langley’s old team since the Rivermen’s inception last year. “It was nice to get that monkey off our back,” Henderson said. “And to do it in their building was good.” The Rivermen, who raced out to a 3-0 lead, had six different goal scorers while goaltender Darren Hogg — making his first start since Nov. 17 — stopped 43 shots. Hogg was a surprise starter as a No. 1 goalie James Barr was a late scratch due to injury. Facing the lastplace Capitals the next afternoon at the Langley Events Centre, the teams both scored twice in the opening 20 minutes. And following a scoreless middle

A Canadian record-holding Paralympic athlete is joining the Trinity Western Spartans and their track and field program. Leah Robinson, who has cerebral palsy, received a Dean’s scholarship and will take general studies. “I was drawn to the small campus life, Christian environment and excellent track and field coaching and facilities,” she said. “I look forward to beginning a new chapter in my life here.” She comes to Langley from Kitchener, Ont. where she attended Rockway Mennonite Collegiate, graduating in 2011. She won the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations gold medal in the 100m event in both Grades 9 and 11. She did not compete in high school track in Grades 10 or 12. Robinson has twice represented Canada at the Paralympic Games (2008 and 2012) as well as the 2010 Commonwealth Games and the 2011 IPC world championships. She holds Canadian records in the T37 100m, 400m, 800m and 1500m races. “We are excited to have Leah join the Trinity Western family,” said Spartans coach Laurier Primeau, who coached Robinson in London when he was the head coach for Canada’s Paralympic team. “As a two-time Paralympian, she will bring both valuable experience and a highperformance attitude to our squad.” The Spartans track and field team opens their season on Saturday ( Jan. 12) at the University of Washington Indoor Preview.

Spartans fall to Victoria The Trinity Western University men’s hockey team fell 6-4 to the University of Victoria to open the second half of the BCIHL season Saturday night in Victoria at the Ian Stewart Complex. The win moves Victoria to 6-7-0-1, while the loss drops the Spartans to 1-10-0-1. “The boys battled hard tonight, we out-shot them and we saw great things out of our new recruits,” commented TWU head coach Dwayne Lowdermilk. “Our defence also played well scoring or assisting on three of our four goals.” The Spartans got on the board on a power play goal from Cody Stevenson. Trinity Western tied the game in the second period when Spartan captain Brad Bakken took a D-to-D pass and sent a long shot through traffic to beat Victoria’s Sunny Gill. Just when it looked like the Spartans were back in the game Victoria scored three goals in just over two minutes, including two in 34 seconds, to give the home team a three goal lead, 5-2, with just under 13 minutes remaining in the second period. The Spartans got one back at 15:20 when Blair Murphy found open space by the right circle and converted a rebound on a stuff shot from the left side of the crease to make the score 5-3 for

Victoria heading into the third period. The Spartans got a power play goal midway through the third from Kreller to make it a one goal deficit, 5-4, with over half a period remaining in the contest. But Victoria got the insurance goal a few minutes later to make the final 6-4 for Victoria. Tim Zwiers made 29 saves in the loss. The Spartans went 2-for-4 with the man advantage and had a 40-35 shot advantage. The Spartans host the Thompson Rivers WolfPack tomorrow (Friday) with puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans men’s and women’s volleyball teams return to Canada West conference play ranked second and fourth, respectively, in the country. The Spartans basketball teams, both unranked, are also back in action this weekend. All four teams will play at the Langley Events Centre over the next three days. The volleyball teams host Brandon today (Thursday) and Saturday. The basketball teams welcome Alberta (Friday) and Saskatchewan (Saturday).

Aged 75 of Langley BC, passed away suddenly but peacefully on December 29th 2012 in the comfort of his home. Tony was born in Finglas, Dublin, Ireland on February 13th, 1937 to Nicholas and Margaret Leddy. Tony was the 3rd youngest of nine children. Tony is survived by his children Jackie Burden (Ford) and Brian Leddy, his brother Patrick Leddy of Dublin, Ireland, sister Delores Farrell of Redondo Beach, California, and many nieces and nephews both in Ireland and California. Tony spent a carefree childhood enjoying sports such as hurling, soccer, and gymnastics and as a young man spent all his free time â&#x20AC;&#x153;roamingâ&#x20AC;? the hills and woods of Ireland with a backpack on his back. He was trained as a steel worker when he left school and that remained the trade he loved and did for the rest of his life. Tony wanted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;see the worldâ&#x20AC;? and in his twenties he worked and stayed at youth hostels all over Europe. It was a life of good clean fun and adventure and he especially loved Norway where he lived and worked for several years, always coming home to his family in Dublin with stories and souveneirs. In 1966 Tony emmigrated to Canada and in 1968 married Elfie Juri. They had two children, Jacqueline and Brian. Tony was a devoted father and raised them singlehandedly from the year of 1976 onward. Tony worked for Weldco-Beales for over 40 years until his retirement in 2010 at the age of 72. Tony was a kind and gentle man who would do anything for his family and friends, even strangers could count on kindness from him. He loved life, laughter, golf, and was blessed with good health right up until recently. It is impossible to express our grief and loss at his sudden passing, his loving presence will remain with us always. A celebration of Tony's wonderful life will be held at the Rendezvous Pub, 20620-56th Ave. Langley, at 3:00 pm Sunday January 13th 2013. All are welcome to attend and share a happy memory of our Beloved Dad, Tony. We will miss you Dad, more than you will ever know, and we will try to live our lives to the fullest as you taught us to do, until we meet again. All is well, nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. We love you Dad!!!
