Vancouver Stealth’s Jeff Moleski rifles a shot over the shoulder of Minnesota Swarm goaltender Tyler Carson during Saturday’s first period of the National Lacrosse League game at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night. The goal put Vancouver up 3-1 as they went on win by an 8-5 score. See page 19 for more.

Professional lacrosse returned to the Lower Mainland for the first time in 10 years as the Vancouver Stealth launched the home portion of their National Lacrosse League schedule on Saturday night. The Stealth hosted the Minnesota Swarm at the Langley Events Centre, which is the new home base for the Stealth after relocating this past summer from Everett, Wash. And it was a winning debut for the Stealth, as they knocked off the Swarm 8-5 to even their record at 1-1 in the NLL. The Swarm dropped to 0-2 on the season. See page 19 for more.

Township taxpayers likely to pay more TOWNSHIP TAXPAYERS FACE $40 TAX HIKE, AND $43 USER FEE BOOST DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

Township of Langley residents will have to ante up another $83 a year in combined tax and user fee increases, if council approves the proposed hikes staff are recommending. That would bring the average homeowner’s annual bill to $2,614. A Monday report to council by deputy director of finance Karen Sinclair calls for increases of three to six per cent for general services, garbage collection, sewer and water. The report shows declining interest in actually attending Township open houses

on the budget, with 36 people showing up at the Dec. 2 and Dec. 3 events, down from 67 for the 2013 budget and the record of 96 set for the 2012 budget. The drop may be due in part because many people, almost 200, opted to fill out written comments using provided forms or the online budget feedback page on the Township website. Responses to specific questions showed three-quarters of those who filled out the forms backed hiring more firefighters. Comments on the submitted forms said the Township shouldn’t wait to hire more firefighters. “Funding the fire department is para-

The chief said about 20 per cent of the time, Langley fire trucks are operating with three- instead of four-person crews, which is below industry standards but does not mean increased risk to the firefighters. Gamble said it can mean a longer wait before firefighters can enter a burning building because a three-man crew is too small to meet a “two in, two out” safety rule that forbids them from going in alone. About a third of those who filled out the forms supported a signalled crosswalk at 216 Street and 88B Avenue, which was proContinued Page 7

Teacher’s trial begins on Monday MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

S HANE MACKICHAN Special to The Time s

An RCMP officer looks over the wreckage of a motorcycle which crashed into a pickup truck at 72 Avenue and 232 Street on Thursday afternoon. The motorcycle driver died in the collision. The motorcycle was not licenced or registered.

Man killed in crash MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

The 40-year-old Langley driver of a dirt bike involved in Thursday’s fatal crash is said to have been travelling at “extremely high rates of speed” and passing on the shoulder before crashing into the side of a pickup truck. Next of kin has been notified and victim support services have been helping the family involved, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. At this time, the B.C. Coroner hasn’t released his name. It also isn’t known yet if drugs or alcohol played a role. Police are saying that the deceased was prohibiting from driving.

He was wearing a helmet. A comment on The Times website indicated the man was “troubled.” Langley RCMP Traffic Services is continuing their investigation into the collision that closed off the intersection of 232 Street and 72 Avenue for most of the day on Thursday. Multiple witnesses remained at the scene to provide police with their account of the collision and the events just prior. The first call to police was made shortly after 1 p.m. Witnesses said the blue dirt bike was travelling northbound on 232 Street at an extremely high rate of speed and had been passing vehicles on the

right shoulder, said Marks. The pickup truck was stopped at the stop sign on 72 Avenue, facing east. The truck proceeded from the stop sign when it was hit by the dirt bike on the passenger side, where the box joins the cab. It’s likely the occupants of the truck wouldn’t have seen the bike coming. At the time, rain was coming down hard and visibility was poor. The two occupants of the pickup truck weren’t injured and remained at the scene. The operator of the dirt bike was taken by BC Ambulance Service to hospital, however he later passed away. There still remains some question as to the ownership of the dirt bike. However po-

lice have confirmed it was not insured, nor registered. Some people who witnessed the crash rushed to provide medical assistance to the injured man. One person even provided CPR before an ambulance arrived. Police would like to speak to one woman who provided medical assistance but either didn’t speak to police or perhaps, as an oversight, wasn’t identified by officers at the time. She is described as being short with blonde hair. She is asked to contact Langley RCMP, as is anyone else who witnessed the crash but hasn’t spoken to police. Langley RCMP can be contacted at 604-532-3200.

The trial for a Langley elementary school teacher accused of molesting one of her students will begin on Monday, Jan. 20. Deborah Ralph, 58, is charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of sexual interference of a person under the age of 14. Jury selection already began last week in Supreme Court in New Westminster. It appears 15 days has been set aside for the jury trial. She chose to have a jury trial, as opposed to a trial by judge alone. Ralph, a teacher in Langley for many years, was teaching at James Kennedy Elementary when she was charged. It is alleged Ralph sexually assaulted a male student between December 1998 and June 2001. The alleged victim contacted Langley RCMP on Nov. 8, 2011 to report he had been sexually assaulted by Ralph. He had been one of her students at James Kennedy, but alleges he was assaulted when she was no longer his teacher. Ralph taught at the school from September 1987 to June 2010. She was suspended with pay after she was charged.

Lockdown at North Otter MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

A code yellow lockdown was in effect for most of the day at North Otter Elementary on Wednesday. Surrey RCMP called for the lockdown, with concerns a man could come by the school looking for family members who frequent the Strong Start program there, said Langley School District spokesperson Ken Hoff. The code yellow was just a precaution, said Hoff. The man of concern didn’t come to North Otter but the school liaison officer stayed at the school all day just in case, and a letter was sent home to parents regarding the lockdown.

Judicial hearing on deportation delayed MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

Jose Figueroa’s judicial hearing to see if he can stay in Canada on compassionate grounds has been delayed. Figueroa’s day in court was set for Jan. 15 but the government didn’t send in some documents the court had requested. Because of that, the court date has been put over, said Figueroa. No new date has been set yet. In the meantime, a vigil for Figueroa is planned for Thursday, Jan. 16 at 5 p.m., in front of the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church on 88 Avenue. Jan. 16 marks the third anniversary of the day the We Are Jose campaign launched in an effort to overturn the deportation order. Other vigils are also planned that same day in front of the

Tattooed robber sought Langley RCMP have released a photo of a man with a distinctive hand tattoo suspected in a violent robbery of a cab driver on Dec. 13, 2013. Around 2 a.m., two Caucasian males entered a cab and asked to go to 196 Street and Fraser Highway. The men indicated they didn’t have enough money to pay for the ride back to Surrey. As they arrived at their requested destination, the suspect seated behind the driver reached to the front console

and took the iPhone of the cab driver, said Langley police. The driver attempted to retrieve his phone when the suspect punched him in the head. Both men exited the vehicle and fled on foot. The suspect is described as Caucasian, in his late

Neighbourhood plan in Brookswood shown MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Property and business owners and residents of the Brookswood/Fernridge area are encouraged to attend an open house revealing the latest on the Griffith Neighbourhood Plan on Wednesday, Jan. 15 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Fernridge Hall. The Township of Langley will be hosting the open house to present preliminary and conceptual information developed during an initial design charette for the Griffith

Neighbourhood Plan. Since 2011, the Brookswood/ Fernridge area has been slated to be the next community to be developed. But how that development is going to go, is still in the beginning stages with two open houses held last January to gather input. Those open houses were very well-attended and interest and concern that the area will turn into the next Willoughby is high. The plan 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. In May 2013, Township Mayor Jack Froese promised mobile home park residents will have a place in the new Brookswood/ Fernridge community plan. There are several mobile home parks in the area. Brookswood/Fernridge currently has a population of 13,000. The new Griffith Neighbourhood Plan could increase the number of residents to 40,000 people over the next three decades.

Routine traffic stop leads to marijuana seizure A routine traffic stop netted more than 30 kilograms of marijuana and the arrest of a 34-yearold Langley man on Dec. 27. Around 6:30 p.m., the officer pulled the vehicle over in the area around 96 Avenue and 200 Street to check the vehicle for not signaling his turns and for an expired insurance decal. The officer had observed the Dodge Caravan make two turns without signalling and had confirmed via computer checks that the insurance was expired. As he approached the vehicle,

he took note of a strong smell of fresh marijuana, said Cpl. Holly Marks. After speaking with the driver for a short time, a sealed cardboard box with approximately half a pound of marijuana was allegedly located behind the back seat, said Marks. The driver told the officer he was a certified grower, however he couldn’t produce his certificate for transportation and storage. The driver was arrested and a complete search of the ve-

Shelter challenge helped kittens, and now it’s puppies’ turn MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

By clicking a button to vote for Langley’s Animal Protection Society, residents helped save 10 very sick kittens and can help with the care of 10 puppies that were left for dead in a Langley park during cold weather. LAPS won $5,000 in the “Shelter Challenge,” saved 10 kittens, and now have a chance to win $10,000 in the new round of the challenge, which began on Jan. 6. The money was the first time a Canadian shelter has won since the contest began in 2008. LAPS came in second worldwide by getting supporters to vote for them every day. The money arrived just in time to save 10 feral and sick kittens that arrived at the Langley shelter in October. The “Jungle” kittens were huddled together in the back of their crate, terrified and starving, said LAPS volunteer Shelly Roche, who fostered the sick kittens and put them on her popular “kitty cam.” That kitty cam, which can be found on the Facebook page Tinykittens, has 295,000 fans and has been viewed 3.5 million times. “They had horribly bloated little tummies from roundworms, tapeworms, and coccidiosis. They had upper respiratory Infections complicated by severe lung worm infestation and in one case, pneumonia,” Roche said. Then she found they had ringworm, a fungal infection that is difficult to treat, and highly contagious to other cats, dogs and humans. This was devastating news. It meant months of expensive treatment and rigorous cleaning every day, all day for Roche.

The 10 “Jungle kittens” rescued by Langley Animal Protection Society were the recipients of a great deal of veterinary care, with funds coming from a successful Shelter Challenge campaign. “We absolutely knew these 10 little lives were worth the thousands of dollars it would cost to save them, but we also worried whether we could raise so much money,” she said. By their 83rd day in care, all 10 Jungle kittens had racked up $7,970 in expenses. Dr. Renee Ferguson helped as much as she could, donating more than $2,500 in exams, fluids, late-night house calls, lung x-rays, etc. All 10 have been now adopted into wonderful, loving homes, said Roche. If you are looking for another reason to help LAPS win the money, you can watch 10 puppies and their foster mom Timber play on a live puppy cam each day, through Roche’s tiny-

While Jordan presented the case on behalf of Friends of the Crosswalk (FOX), a group of Walnut Grove residents who support a marked pedestrian crosswalk for the intersection, 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. On the question of road improvements in Brookswood in the area east of 200 Street between 40 Avenue

and 40A Avenue, about half supported doing the work, while a quarter of those who responded were opposed. Brookswood Merchants Association (BMA) has been pushing for improvements since May of 2010. The staff report on the budget breaks down the impact of the proposed tax increase at $3.32 per month or 11 cents per day and the higher user pay fees at $3.58 per month or 12 cents per day. Overall, an online report on the Township website estimates, Township residents would be paying roughly the same amount as Surrey residents do, slightly more than Langley City residents, slightly less than Abbotsford, about two-thirds of the Richmond, New Westminster and Burnaby rates and around half the Vancouver rate. Council was scheduled to discuss the proposed budget Monday night, after The Times deadline.

A house was badly damaged in a fire that broke out at 1 a.m. in north Langley on Friday morning.

Three fire halls responded to the home at 20008 96 Avenue but the fire had already engulfed the residence. According to assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson, crews

battled the stubborn blaze for nearly nine hours, which is longer than usual. Fire investigators returned the next day. The assistant fire chief who

was at the scene is expected to provide more information today (Tuesday) about what the likely cause was and if anyone was inside at the time.

Question langeytimes.com

Concerns about double-dipping among politicians are not going away. Despite a great deal of publicity surrounding the many municipal elected officials who were elected to the B.C. legislature in the May provincial election, it appears that at least one just can’t help taking two paycheques — even though he is clearly dividing his time up to do two jobs. Pemberton Mayor Jordan Sturdy has been getting paid as MLA for West Vancouver-Sea to Sky, and also billed taxpayers for more than $15,000 in expenses, incurred before Sept. 30. He was also still getting paid $25,000 per year as Pemberton mayor. This is clearly unfair to taxpayers. A number of municipal officials, including Sturdy, did not resign after they were elected in May, largely to avoid the costs of holding byelections. These include Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, who went on a leave of absence from his job as mayor of the City, and has not been paid. Sturdy resigned his mayor’s job earlier this month. Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt remained on Surrey council — a move that saved taxpayers of that city close to $600,000 in a byelection cost. In Coquitlam, two members of council who were elected to the legislature resigned, so there was a necessity for a byelection. Hunt has not been paid as a member of Surrey council. Doug Bing, who remains on Pitt Meadows council while also sitting as an MLA, also is not being paid. They chose not to collect salaries while continuing to do their municipal jobs. Their decisions are laudable, but their good intentions obviously did not rub off on their caucus colleague Sturdy. The provincial government can easily correct this issue. It can require than any person elected as an MLA must forego any civic salary they are entitled to after being sworn in, if they do not resign their municipal seats. That would be the easiest way to deal with the problem. Some have suggested that provincial and municipal election timelines should be aligned. But implicit in this suggestion is that municipal politicians should be elected to four-year terms. That would remove accountability for municipal decisions even further from taxpayers. At one time, half the members of a council were elected each year. That kept municipal politicians much more accountable, because if they strayed too far from constituents’ wishes, they could be turfed at a time when taxpayers could still remember the issue. A simple change to the rules newly-elected MLAs must follow would end the double-dipping.

Is the $3 toll to cross the Port Mann Bridge fair to Langley residents?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Hardly a ‘free ride’ they

The notion that Fraser Valley taxpayers should help ease the financial woes of TransLink is an absurd non-starter. Last week, Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin, said that since Fraser Valley residents possibly use the services provided by TransLink, they should pay for them — preferably through a fuel tax. That member municipalities within TransLink are looking for more money is nothing new. Residents already contribute $235 annually in property taxes, and pay 17 cents on every litre of gas. Nonetheless, TransLink’s $1.45 billion budget is under stress every year. That has people like Mayor Daykin looking east. “I think they’re getting a bit of a free ride,” Daykin said. Residents outside Metro Vancouver may use TransLink’s transportation infrastructure when they venture west. But the numbers hardly seem to warrant the kind of blanket tax that the Maple Ridge mayor is suggesting. Estimates put the number of Chilliwack drivers leaving the city at just 13 per cent. Indeed, according to the Fraser Valley Regional District, 92 per cent of all vehicle trips originating in the FVRD stay within the FVRD. That’s hardly “a free ride,” especially when taxpayers here already contribute indirectly to TransLink’s transportation infrastructure. The money used to complete SkyTrain extensions did not grow on trees. Portions of it came through provincial and federal funds that we all pay into. — Chilliwack Progress

Tolls are needed all along Highway 1 project Editor: Re : “We Say – Discriminatory Tolls,” (The Times, Jan. 9). I just about fell out of my chair reading your editorial concerning the $3 toll on the Port Mann. For the first time, I have seen a real black and white comment on what to me, is the essence of the debate on tolling the Port Mann Highway 1 (PMH1) project. It is simply unfair that drivers crossing the Fraser River are the only ones paying for the Highway 1 rebuilding from 1st Ave. in Vancouver to 200 St. in Langley. The project’s mandate (see below) is the cost of 37 kilometres of new infrastructure (including the bridge) will be recovered through tolls. I cannot believe that a journalist hasn’t raised the question in a press conference, or a columnist or talk show host hasn’t provoked a debate on the true issue of the Port Mann tolling. These excerpts from the Transportation Investments (TI) Corp. website , which can be found at http://www.pmh1project.com/ Pages/default.aspx. “The Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project (PMH1 Project) includes construction of a new 10-lane Port Mann Bridge, 37

kilometres of highway widening from Vancouver to Langley, including 30 kilometres of new HOV lanes, and the replacement of nine highway interchanges. These improvements will significantly reduce congestion and travel times along the Lower Mainland’s busiest and most congested highway.” At http://www.pmh1project.com/ info-centre/faq/Pages/Project-Cost-Timing.aspx is the following statement: “The total cost to build the PMH1 Project, including construction, operations and maintenance, rehabilitation and interest, will be approximately $3.3 billion. All costs will be recovered by electronic tolls. This means that people who realize the benefits of travel time savings and reliability will pay for the project without taking taxpayer funding away from transit improvements and other government priorities.” It is abundently clear from the above that the only people presently paying for the cost of the entire project are the ones driving over the Port Mann bridge. To the Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and Tri-Cities drivers who have benefited from the same one-plus hour time savings that I have

Gift keeps on giving Editor: It is sometimes well and good for people like Tom Fletcher (The Times, Jan. 9) to make fun of those who are “environmentalists.” But seriously, considering his tomfoolery in painting all of us who are concerned about the environment and the health of our kids who go to schools (coal dust travels up to 5 km) near coal dust-infected air, does that make us less libelous “enviro-shouters?” I wonder if he had kids who went to school near coal dust and diesel particulates. Would he see things any differently? China is in the midst of empowering their wonderfully smog-filled nation with an additional 375 coal-powered plants. And guess which is the only country in the world to have seen (except for likely Sudan) a decline in life expectancy of 5.5 years? China. That is where coal from North America is being sent. And far from Canada having mercury blowback with minimal impact, as Fletcher makes fun of the “low levels of mercury around the tar sands,” he should look a bit closer. Lakes and rivers which have been assessed have had a 30 per cent increase in mercury contaminants over the past several years. Guess where this comes from? Not from Alberta power plants, though maybe a bit, if the wind is blowing westerly, but from China. The coal-powered power plants blow tons of mercury. It’s pollution which travels here. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, not really a Christmas gift, except in a black coal gift bag sort of way. So what goes around comes around. Happy New Year to all, and best wishes for help for the Scrooges of the world — not all of whom are Port Metro Vancouverites, I am the first to admit. S. FARAHER-AMIDON, CLOVERDALE

since the bridge opened, and to the drivers in Coquitlam, New West and Burnaby that are now enjoying the extra 30-plus minutes a day, you’re welcome. Enjoy your free ride. Over the past month there has been much made on the raising of the toll to the full $3, and justification for it by the opening of all the new lanes through Coquitlam to Vancouver. What an absolute crock. I have not seen one question raised as to what the new lane openings have to do with travel time over the bridge itself. The answer of course to anyone who has been driving over the Port Mann for the past year is absolutely nothing. Other than the ice bomb fiasco, and a multi-multi car pileup, I have not been delayed in traveling over the bridge itself once since it opened. The wall westbound was hit between Cape Horn and Brunette, which had nothing to do with the bridge, other than it let me get to the backup faster. I am in support of tolls when applied fairly. If a project is to be paid for by tolls, then everyone realizing the benefit of the improvements should be paying. If every driver entering the highway paid

$1, not only would the project be paid off sooner, I and my fellow South of Fraser drivers might share the smiles of drivers zipping on and off the highway both west and east of the Port Mann Bridge. Until then, there should be an immediate reprieve granted to the regular Port Mann users by offering a bulk buy rate on the existing $3 toll. Why can I not prepurchase 100 crossings at $1.50 each? The difference should be subsidized by regional taxes until toll gantries can be set up at 1st Ave. in Vancouver, 200th St. in Langley and all the on-ramps in between. To the radio host that let slip he appreciated the time saved on his commute from Coquitlam since the new lanes opened (and then got away with no time left for callers to blast him about it), and to the rest of the media who have let such an obvious inequity continue without debate, shame on you. A referendum on tolling without full public debate on the issues around the PMH1 tolling policy would be a waste of time and money. BRIAN RUMOHR, LANGLEY

HOME IS NOT A GROW-OP

This photo of an upscale home in the Walnut Grove area appeared on the letters page of the Jan. 9 edition of The Times, to illustrate a letter raising concerns about marijuana being grown in residential areas. The home was used as a grow-op shortly after it was built, more than five years ago. The home is now owned and lived in by a family who have no connections to marijuana grow-ops. The Times regrets any implications that the home, in the recent past or currently, has been used as a grow-op.

Low U.S. milk prices may be coming to an end J EF F N AGEL Bla ck Pre s s

The days of cheap milk and cheese luring cross-border shoppers into Washington State may soon end if the U.S. government ends its long-standing practice of deeply subsidizing American farms. The U.S. Senate has so far blocked the renewal of subsidies, although wrangling continues toward a deal that would continue them at a reduced level. B.C. Dairy Association CEO Dave Eto said American farm subsidies are so “astounding” the price of milk south of the border would more than double if they were eliminated altogether. Eto isn’t expecting a complete end to subsidies, but thinks the debt-laden U.S. government will insist they be ratcheted down over time, pulling perhaps $4 billion out of the U.S. dairy industry

over the next decade. “I definitely think the prices will go up,” he said. Any drop in the Canadian dollar against the U.S. greenback would also make U.S. dairy products less attractive to cross-border shoppers, and rising international demand may also help push up U.S. milk prices. Eto said it’s conceivable Bellingham residents could one day be heading north into B.C. to buy cheaper Canadian milk, although he estimated it would take a return to a 75-cent loonie and a complete end to U.S. subsidies. Eto used the issue to draw contrasts between the two countries’ systems and combat consumer perceptions of being gouged by retailers at home. B.C.’s supply management system means more stable prices and long-term certainty for investment by the industry, he said,

in contrast to the more volatile U.S. dairy industry, where overproduction can cause farm bankruptcies and wild price swings for consumers. Most U.S. residents don’t enjoy the cheap prices B.C. residents get when they nip across the border to Blaine or Bellingham. Eto said aggressive pricing by retailers close to the border to pull in Canadian shoppers means U.S. milk is sold below cost in those areas. He said an October price survey showed average supermarket prices of a gallon of milk was $4.05 in San Francisco and $4.89 in Portland, but dropped to $2.79 in Seattle and $2.50 in Bellingham. Eto also noted Canadians pay only once for their unsubsidized milk — the retail price — while U.S. residents pay another hidden price through their taxes to fund

Warrant out for theft suspect Langley RCMP have put out an arrest warrant for one of this community’s prolific property offenders. Brittney Deering, 21, is currently wanted on several arrest warrants — two for theft under $5,000 and three for breaching probation. On May 31, police went to the Tan de Soleil in the 19900 block of 72 Avenue after staff discovered $600 worth of tanning lotions were missing from the display shelf. A review of the security video and subsequent investigation led police to request charges for Deering.

The most recent theft occurred on July 30 at Winners in Langley. Police allege Deering grabbed a wristwatch valued at a p p ro x i m a t e ly $250 and ran out of the store. The breaches relate to a probation order requiring her to reside at a particular address, abide by the rules and

BRITTN EY DEERIN G

regulations at said address and abstain from consumption and/or possession of non-prescription drugs. Deering is described as Caucasian, , 5’3” tall, 126 lbs. with brown hair and green eyes. If you have any information that would assist police to execute this arrest warrant, call Langley RCMP at 604-5323200.

farm subsidies. Eto isn’t demanding B.C. residents buy Canadian, but he noted dollars spent at home support dairy farmers, processors, distributors and ultimately contribute to taxes that support health, education and other services in B.C. “For every dollar we spend in our communities, it has a five times rebound effect,” he said. “We don’t give that enough credence.” Other observers doubt even more expensive U.S. milk will do much to dent the flow of shoppers heading south. “Milk is just a small sliver of the savings waiting down south,” said Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “Cheaper gas, consumer goods and flights make it highly unlikely that this will curb cross-border shopping.” Other free-market advocates

own property, and another $50,000-plus to get rid of everything else. To help out, the Edgars agreed they could deal with the fence, landscaping and retaining wall themselves, cutting the Mortons’ cost in half.

But what if it turns out the fence was mistakenly put up on your neighbour’s land, years before you bought – so the fence, hedge, wall and part of your pool are actually sitting on his property? The BC Supreme Court recently had to deal with such an unhappy “encroachment” situation in Kelowna.

The court found that both the Edgars and the Mortons were misled by the way the lots looked when they each bought.

Here, neither the Mortons (all names changed) nor the Edgars, who bought the neighbouring property later, had bothered to get a proper survey done before buying. Both simply assumed that the fence (put up by the Naylors, who sold the Mortons their place) followed the lot line.

But when the Mortons bought, they got a statutory declaration from the Naylors with a “home-made” survey attached, locating the pool on the Morton lot. But even a quick glance at the survey showed it wasn’t an official document. The pool and its supposed distance from the lot line were hand-drawn on it later (apparently by the Naylors) – the pool was even shown as rectangular, not kidney-shaped, like the actual pool. So its reliability was questionable.

After the Edgars bought, they wanted to develop their backyard. During the building permit process it came to light that a pie-shaped piece of land beyond the fence, over 1,600 square feet, actually belonged to them. Part of the Mortons’ pool and pool deck, a retaining wall, cedar hedge and fence sat on this wedge belonging to the Edgars.

In the end, the court decided that the Mortons had to remove the pool and deck encroachment, and could remove the other encroachments too if they wanted. The Edgars were thus able to go ahead with their plans. The Mortons would have to try and recover their losses from the Naylors, who had put in the original pool, retaining wall and landscaping.

The Mortons wanted to buy this chunk of land. But the Edgars needed it for themselves, so they could build a gazebo, waterfall and gardens as planned. There was no other space for those once they put in their own pool.

Saving money by not getting a proper survey (or title insurance) when buying or redeveloping a property may be penny-wise but pound-foolish.

So the Edgars asked the court for removal of the Mortons’ pool encroachment. The Mortons asked for a sale or easement to them of this piece instead, in return for a small payment. The Mortons said it would cost them over $50,000 to re-build a new pool on their

say Ottawa should rip up the current supply management system in Canada and let milk prices float rather than be propped up. That would mean more price volatility but a better deal for consumers who now pay more than necessary, said Mark Milke, a senior fellow at the Fraser Institute. “Canadian dairy farmers are grasping at straws for any excuse to keep consumers captive to a government-engineered and government-regulated cartel,” Milke said. “The current system cuts into the income of the poorest Canadian consumers because you can’t avoid buying milk.” He said New Zealand’s system is a much better model and has resulted in a huge export-oriented dairy industry that now accounts for 40 per cent of world trade in dairy products.

Stealth deliver victory in home debut

GA RY AHUJA Times Sports

Playing in front of a near capacity crowd, the Vancouver Stealth overcame some early-game jitters to pick up a victory in their home debut. Rhys Duch, who paced the Stealth attack with two goals and an assist, said it wasn’t nerves, but rather excitement, which held the team back in the early going of their National Lacrosse League debut at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night. “I think seven of our first eight possessions were turnovers,” said the team’s leading scorer from 2013. “I can’t think of any excuse other than everyone was too excited.” Duch scored the first two goals and the Stealth never looked back, improving to 1-1 with an 8-5 victory over the 0-2 Minnesota Swarm. The game marked the long-awaited return of professional lacrosse to the Lower Mainland. The Vancouver Ravens last played in the NLL in 2004. And the Stealth built upon a loud and boisterous crowd as 5,031 fans filled the LEC. The arena was at 95 per cent capacity for the game. Ten members of the Stealth are from the Lower Mainland and 14 of the 20 players on the roster are from B.C. “This is home for us,” said goalGA RY A HUJ A L an gl ey Ti m e s tender Tyler Richards, who was spectacular in stopping 45 of the shots he faced to earn first star Vancouver Stealth’s Lewis Ratcliff tries to elude Minnesota Swarm’s Mike Hobbins (#11) and Alex Crepinsek during the Stealth’s 8-5 victory at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night.

Imagine receiving a phone call with the person on the other end claiming to be the most well-known Canadian professional basketball player of all time? That is exactly what Jadon Cohee faced this summer. When Cohee answered the phone call, his initial thought was it was one of his friends, playing a prank on him. After all, the voice on the other end — the call display said it was an Ontario number — was claiming to be two-time NBA most valuable player Steve Nash of the Los Angeles Lakers. “I was like, this has to be a joke,” Cohee admitted. But Cohee, who had spoken to Nash years earlier and has heard countless interviews done by Nash, recognized the voice. It just so happened that Nash was going to be in the Lower Mainland for a few days and was looking for a workout partner. So for three days in July, Cohee met with the soon-to-be 40-year-old Nash at a gym in Burnaby. It was one former B.C. high school Triple-A MVP — Nash won the award in 1992 after leading Victoria’s St. Michael’s University to the title — training with the reigning MVP, as Cohee was the recipient of the award last March after helping the Walnut Grove Gators win the championship. “It was just an unreal experience,” Cohee described of working out with Nash, who was rehabbing some injuries. “We did a lot of strength training and a lot of balance exercises.” Nash also helped Cohee with both on-court and off-court challenges. “He taught me basically never get down on yourself and keep working,” said Cohee, who is in his final season of high school before he departs to Seattle University in September on a basketball scholarship. “And he showed me some

It meant that when Cohee went to tell his friends what he had been doing, they were initially skeptical. “They didn’t believe me but I had a couple of pictures, so they had to,” he said. ••••• Cohee returned to the Gators line-up over the weekend as Walnut Grove played at the Legal Beagle tournament in Port Coquitlam. He missed five games with an ankle injury. “It was extremely hard, it is tough watching,” he said. “I get way more nervous when

it is a close game and I am sitting on the bench instead of playing.” The Gators finished third at the tournament despite Cohee winning the tournament’s most valuable player award. Cohee scored 40-plus points in both of the first two games, an 87-83 win over the Yale Lions and then an 83-76 loss to the Gleneagle Talons in the semifinals. Walnut Grove entered the tournament at 14-0 and ranked first among the Quad-A schools in the province. The Lions were an honourable mention while the Talons had recently dropped from second to ninth. The Gators did rebound to win the third-place game, 70-52 over the No. 8 Terry Fox Ravens, who hosted the tournament.

Valley West Hawks Davis Koch leads the charge up ice against the Greater Vancouver Canadians at the Langley Events Centre on Sunday morning. The Canadians won this game 8-2 as well as a 2-1 victory over the Hawks the day before at the Richmond Oval. See more at www.langleytimes.com.

Spartans split in Winnipeg The Trinity Western Spartans men’s basketball team was involved in a pair of close finishes down the stretch, one which went their way, while the other did not. The Spartans’ Robert Rodriguez banked in a floating lay-up with five seconds to play and then Manitoba missed a threepoint attempt at the buzzer which gave Trinity Western an 8584 come-from-behind victory over the Bisons at Investors Group Athletic Centre on Friday night in Winnipeg. But playing at the Dr. David F. Anderson Gymnasium in Winnipeg the next night, the Wesmen scored the decisive basket with eight seconds to play in a 80-79 victory. The results leave Trinity Western with a 6-6 record in Canada West conference play. The Spartans shot great in the loss — they connected on 54.5 per

cent (30-for-55) from the field and 63.2 per cent (12-for-19) from the three-point line — but Winnipeg overcame those numbers by attempting 20 more shots. “We shot the ball well enough to win, but we didn’t deserve to win,” said Trinity Western coach Scott Allen. “We played undisciplined and gave them 20 more shots by not controlling our turnovers and their offensive rebounding.” The team was led by Denny McDonald’s 16

team at 2-10. Head coach Cheryl Jean-Paul was happy to earn a split on the tough road trip. “I think our younger ones came in and (had) some great opportunities to understand what it takes to play at the CIS level,” she said. “We have to learn from this and we need to be ready to battle for the rest of the semester.” Holly Strom scored 22 in the victory while Janelle Traber chipped in with 15. Traber also had 11 in the defeat to lead the team.

Six make all-star squad Six Langley hockey players — including one who leads the league in scoring — were scheduled to suit up in the Pacific Junior Hockey League’s all-star game last night (Monday). The game pitted the Harold Brittain Conference’s top players against their counterparts from the Tom Shaw Conference and was scheduled to be played at Abbotsford’s MSA Arena, after The Times’ press deadline. Headlining the all-stars was Stephen Ryan, who leads the league with 31 goals and 65 points in 34 games. Ryan is one of three Langley players on the league-leading

Aldergrove Kodiaks, who sit atop the Harold Brittain Conference with a record of 26-5-1-2 and 55 points. He is joined on the all-star roster from the Kodiaks by two other Langley players, forward Adam Callegari and defenceman Joshua Cronin. Callegari had 18 goals and 52 points on the season while Cronin has four goals and 24 points. The other members of the Kodiaks to get all-star nods were twin brothers Spencer and Scott McHaffie — who each have 29 points on the season — and defenceman Kodi Schwartz.

Schwartz has five goals and 26 points. Two other Langley players will be on the Harold Brittain Conference side: Abbotsford Pilots forward Braeden Monk and Ridge Meadows Flames defenceman Nicholas Coltura. Monk is second on the Pilots with 13 goals and 43 points. Coltura has a goal and 14 points. And playing for the Tom Shaw Conference will be forward Ayden MacDonald. MacDonald is third in team scoring for the Richmond Sockeyes with 20 goals and 33 points.

Kodiaks rally to ground Pilots 5-4

Matt Buehler (right) of the Langley United U17 Gold boy’s soccer team, pushes the ball up the field against the defence of North Delta United’s Kensvi Saito on Saturday at Willoughby Community Park.

A four-goal third period helped the Aldergrove Kodiaks pull off the come-from-behind victory over the Abbotsford Pilots. The Kodiaks’ Spencer Unger scored a power-play goal with just over five minutes to play to send Aldergrove to the 5-4 victory in junior B hockey action at Abbotsford’s MSA Arena on Friday (Jan. 10). His game-winning goal came on the heels of a four-goal perfor-

mance the game before as the Kodiaks routed the Mission City Outlaws 8-1 on Jan. 8 at the Aldergrove Arena. Aldergrove leads both their division and the entire Pacific Junior Hockey League with a record of 26-5-1-2 and 55 points. They have an

11-point cushion over the second-place Pilots in the race for top spot in the Harold Brittain Conference and a slim two-point lead over the Richmond Sockeyes for the league lead. Against the Pilots, Jeremy Lagler scored twice and set up one other goal while Scott

McHaffie and Jacob Dunlap had the other scores. Jordan Liem made 31 saves for the victory. The team is back in action tomorrow (Wednesday) night when they host the North Vancouver WolfPack at the Aldergrove Arena.
