Dump truck driver jailed 14 months for fatal crash
Resident killed in mobile home blaze BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
‘I JUST PRAY THAT SOME DAY YOU’LL FORGIVE ME,’ THERIAUT TELLS WIDOW TRACY HOLMES Black Press
The man found guilty of dangerous driving causing death in connection with the head-on crash that killed South Surrey resident Jim Neiss has been sentenced to 14 months in jail. Glen Edward Theriault learned his fate — which includes a four-year driving ban — Friday afternoon in Surrey Provincial Court. In imposing the term, Judge Paul Dohm said it had to be enough to “strongly denounce” the driving behaviour that resulted in Neiss’ death. At the same time, he acknowledged that incarcerating the 65-year-old “will not help him or his family.” Neiss, 59, died on Jan. 18, 2011 when his SUV was struck head-on by Theriault’s dump truck as Neiss drove east along 16 Avenue en route to his job as a Langley school-bus driver. Theriault had just crossed a double-yellow line in an effort to pass two vehicles when the collision occurred. The court heard during trial
GLEN EDWARD THERIAULT that Theriault told police the move was “a bad three-second decision.” In rendering his guilty verdict last November, Dohm described that same decision as “conscious, deliberate, risky.” “No reasonable person would even consider driving in the manner the accused did in this case,” he said. Friday, an emotional Theriault apologized to the court and Neiss’s wife of 20 years, Brenda Michie. “There is no words that can ever undo what happened,” he said. Continued Page 5

A resident and a service dog died in a fire which broke out Friday morning in a Walnut Grove mobile home park. Crews were called to the mobile home in the complex, located at 90 Avenue and 198 Street, just before 10 a.m. on Friday. The coroner was on scene in the early afternoon. So far, the cause of the blaze isn’t known, but it doesn’t appear to be suspicious, said Langley RCMP. The Valentine’s Day blaze is the second fatal fire in Langley in 2014. It is also the fifth in less than a year and the fourth this winter. Last April, an elderly man was killed when a fire broke out in the Elm Building at Langley Lodge in Langley City. In late November, an elderly woman died in a fire in a fourplex in a rural area of the Township. It is suspected to have been caused by materials left too close to a space heater. Meanwhile, faulty wiring was to blame for a Dec. 8 fire in a Langley City home, where a 64-year-old woman perished. And on Jan. 24, a house fire in Glen Valley took the life of a twoyear-old boy.

Very few take the bus to work DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
Langley Times file photo
Langley Township has the smallest percentage of bus commuters in the Greater Vancouver region — just 3.5 per cent of trips to work involve taking the bus.
If you live in Langley Township, there’s a good chance you commute to work and you get there by driving or ride-sharing rather than taking public transit. There’s almost no chance you’re taking the bus. A Township staff analysis of recently-released figures from the Statistics Canada census in 2011 shows 86 per cent of workers in the Township drive their own vehicles rather than take the bus to work. Only 3.5 per cent take public transit, the lowest percentage in Metro Vancouver. The report to council by the community development division calls the figures “disturbing” and suggests it is the result of “our large land mass and a lack of appropriate and timely public transit options.” Most Township commuters were traveling to Surrey — 9,510 every work day. The City of Langley is the second most popular destination at 4,405, and Abbotsford third at 2,530. At the time of the federal census, there were 104,177 people living in the Township. The federal figures show Township
residents were more likely to be working than their counterparts in other Metro Vancouver municipalities, thanks to the third-lowest unemployment rate in the region. Only North Vancouver District and Lions Bay reported lower jobless rates. In 2011, 6.1 per cent of the Township work force was unemployed, compared to the B.C. and Canadian average of 7.8 per cent. The work force was an educated one, with 84 per cent possessing a high school diploma or better, and 53 per cent having either university degrees, college diplomas or trades certificates. The Township analysis said the largest segment of the Langley labour force works in the retail trade (11.5 per cent), followed in order by construction, health care and manufacturing. The 2011 census was the first year that Canadians could legally refuse to fill out the detailed “long form” census used to create detailed reports about jobs, income, education, citizenship and more. Critics and some researchers have expressed concern that the results from the new voluntary long form survey will be less accurate.
Mayors may push for referendum on vehicle tax JEFF NAGEL Black Press
The province’s reluctance to allow comprehensive road and bridge tolling may spur Metro Vancouver mayors to instead pursue a speedier referendum just on a vehicle levy. The mayors met Transportation Minister Todd Stone Friday and emerged without any deal but predicted a flurry of further talks in the weeks ahead to negotiate new funding sources for TransLink expansion. Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said mayors still hope to persuade the government to back tools like road pricing, a regional sales tax or a share of carbon tax. But if a vehicle levy is all the province will allow, he said, there’s no sense in delaying a referendum until mid-2015 — as Stone has offered.
“If ultimately it comes down to going to referendum on a vehicle levy, we could virtually have it this fall,” Walton said. He said a single source that generates relatively little money would force the mayors’ council to use the new revenue strictly to put more buses on the road and shelve efforts to build new rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver. “It depends on how many funding sources the province allows. If it’s fairly minimal, the only thing you can do is go for your first priority, which is buses.” An annual fee on each registered vehicle in Metro would be simple and easy to apply, unlike a complex road pricing system that would take years of study. Stone wants mayors to hammer out a transit expansion priority list and the tax tools to fund it by the end of June.
YOUR FRASER VALLEY DEALERSHIP
The minister said he does not rule out road pricing as a tool if the mayors want to discuss it. But Stone said it’s the province’s current position that any future tolls generated by provincial bridges and highways — such as the North Shore bridges, the Alex Fraser and the Massey Tunnel — should be reserved for their maintenance and replacement and not be diverted to TransLink. “If the mayors want to have a conversation with me about a regional road pricing policy, I’m prepared to have that discussion with them,” Stone said. “I’ve also made clear that up to this point our position is that we’re going to be pretty protective as a province of the revenues generated from provincial assets.” Revenue from Port Mann Bridge tolls is needed to pay off that project’s debt, he

noted. Stone emphasized any new taxes or tolls proposed for TransLink must be affordable, have minimal impact on the regional economy and draw strictly from Metro Vancouver, not the rest of the province. Walton said it would be “virtually impossible” to develop a workable road pricing system in the region if provincial bridges and highways are excluded, leaving only the TransLink-controlled ones — the Golden Ears, Knight Street and Pattullo bridges. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said she believes a road pricing system can be designed that shares the revenue and meets the goals of both the province and TransLink. She said the province’s proposals to the mayors aren’t perfect but leave room for negotiation.

‘I want to see it through to the end’ – widow From Page 1
“From the bottom of my heart, I apologize, for everything. “I just pray that someday you’ll forgive me.� Outside court, prior to the sentence and after reading her own emotional victim-impact statement, Michie told Black Press that she trusted that the judge would make the right decision. Regardless, “it’s not going to change anything for me,� she said.
“I just came because I want to see it through to the end.� Michie told the court her life had been forever changed by the death of Neiss, who she described as her “soulmate.� “I miss my entire life,� she said. Prosecutor Winston Sayson had asked Dohm to impose a jail term in the range of 18 to 24 months and a five-year prohibition, arguing that as someone who drove for a living, Theriault

“knew better� than to drive as he did that fateful morning. “The disobedience of the law by Mr. Theriault has caused signifi-
cant grief and harm,� Sayson said. Defence counsel Rishi Gill argued for a suspended sentence, with a lengthy probation, lengthy driving prohibition and extensive community service. He noted Theriault was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the incident and has sought extensive professional help. “It was not a pattern of behaviour. It was an extremely wrong decision,� Gill said, de-
scribing Theriault as an “active member of his church, a devoted family man and a devoted friend� who will never drive a commercial truck again. “Jail is not always the answer – and especially in this case. There is nothing constructive that can happen, we say, by sending Mr. Theriault to jail.� Following sentencing, Theriault hugged wife Rose and son Ezra goodbye, emptied his pockets and was escorted out by the sheriff.

Jim Neiss, a South Surrey resident who drove abus for the Langley school district, was killed on his way to work in January, 2011, when Glen Theriault passed two vehicles on 16 Avenue and hit Neiss’ vehicle head-on. Theriault has been sentenced to 14 months in jail and is prohibited from driving for four years. Neiss’ widow, Brenda Michie said the judge’s decision will not change anything for her.

Health Matters
Weight loss goals include a variety of reasons, such as improved health and appearance, and what you eat is central to achieving those goals. A little guidance here can go a long way. Once again, the DASH diet is the overall winner (and, the winner in the diabetes category), while the Ornish diet was deemed best for heart health. For weight loss, Weight Watchers comes out on top. Avoid the fads: Paleo and Dukan tied for last place! The Mediterranean Diet (a plant-based diet, very similar to the DASH diet) has demonstrated a reduction in heart attack, stroke and premature death. Obviously, the most benefits are reaped the earlier in life you start, but a recent study has found that starting midlife is good too. And, those benefits include reduced cholesterol, weight loss, improved rheumatoid arthritis and lower risk of Alzheimer’s and some cancers. Concerned about developing type 2 diabetes? Then, take another look at the Mediterranean Diet. A study out of Spain is reporting that this diet, supplemented with extra virgin olive oil, can reduce
the risk of type 2 diabetes in adults who are also at risk for cardiovascular disease by about one-third, compared with low-fat diets. This is excellent news since the BOB SANGHA Mediterranean Diet is so Pharmacist, BSc palatable and sustainable. One of the keys to managing your nutrition is knowing how to read food labels. When checking them, focus on these five points: 1) Note the portion size. 2) Look at the fats; look for low saturated fats and avoid trans and hydrogenated fats. 3) Watch the salt; a good rule of thumb is that sodium mg should be the same or less than the calories per serving. 4) Up the fibre; a minimum of 5 grams per serving. 5) Down with sugar – and learn the tricky names it masquerades as. Managing your weight is not only good for your physical health – it makes you feel good too! Talk to our pharmacists for tips on setting and achieving your weight loss goals.

Beloved Langley horsewoman killed in training accident MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Well-loved horse enthusiast Melanie Walters died Thursday as a result of injuries received in a training accident at her parents’ farm in Langley. It’s believed Walters was training a two-year-old when it accidentally flipped onto her. She died during surgery at hospital. Walters, 37, is survived by two young children, Caden, 7, and Laurel, 8. Walters’ friend and fellow jumper Laura Balisky started a fundraising page for Walters’ two young children at fundrazr. com. Already, more than $15,000 has been donated. “The equestrian community has lost a wonderful woman, amazingly talented horsewoman and loving mother. “Melanie’s beautiful spirit and smile would light up the room,” said Balisky in the fundraising comments. “She will never be forgotten, her legacy is carried forward by her two children.”
Fac ebo o k pho to
Well-known Langley equestrienne Melanie Walters was killed on Thursday during a training mishap with a young horse. Donations will be held in trust for Laurel and Caden’s education and future, she said. Walters was coming off a strong year at Hastings Race Park, where she finished in the top 10 in the trainer standings with 15 wins from 58 starts, according to reports in the Daily Racing Form. Her main client was her fa-
ther, Dr. Ken Walters, a prominent horse owner at Hastings for many years. “This is a huge loss. She was one of the most sincere people I’ve ever met, a really great person,” said Carla Robin, vicechair of the Langley Horse Federation, who watched Walters grow up. “She was famous in hunter jumper. She was a beautiful rider who was highly respected. My girls idolized her,” Robin said. “We have lost her too young.” Jane Tidball of Thunderbird Showpark, where Walters was heavily involved, is creating a memory book full of photos and memories of Walters to give to her two children. Friend Melissa Lowe (nee Schell) grew up with Walters and competed with her. “She touched a lot of lives and inspired a lot of riders,” said Lowe. “I was blessed to have her as a friend. My heart is breaking for her two beautiful children.”

LMH emergency parking ticket waived MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Fraser Health Authority plans to waive the $80 parking ticket Langley resident Su VanderHorst received after rushing her four-year-old son into emergency with a serious head injury at Langley Memorial Hospital recently. “Clearly here we have extenuating circumstances and we don’t want to cause any further hardship and would like to waive the ticket,” said FHA spokesperson Tasleem Juma. VanderHorst wrote in a letter to The Times that she took her four-year-old son to LMH emergency after he tripped and banged his head on some school bleachers, resulting in a concussion and a gash on his forehead. When she had arrived at the ER, the boy was still vomiting, bleeding, and in obvious pain. He was immediately brought in to see doctors. Numerous stitches and a couple of hours later, she returned to her vehicle, to find an $80 parking ticket. VanderHorst’s letter has struck a chord with readers, garnering more than two dozen comments from people who shared similar stories or those who found it appalling that those in emergency situations have to worry about paying for parking. Some believe there shouldn’t be paid parking at emergency. Fraser Health notes that people in similar circumstances should reach out to them. “We are here to help. Our goal is not to make things more difficult,” Juma said. VanderHorst didn’t know her letter had hit home with people. She said she had paid the ticket right away because she was told by many people there wasn’t a point in fighting it. She is now in touch with FHA about reversing that payment. There are other circumstances in which it may benefit people to speak with hospital administration about

Swift public reaction to an $80 parking ticket given to the parent of a four-year-old admitted to Langley Memorial Hospital’s emergency department has resulted in the ticket being waived. parking. If people are making frequent visits to a patient or are receiving longterm treatments and need to park at the hospital often, there are parking passes that can be purchased at a reduced rate. There are also senior rates, Juma said. Parking fees go to the maintenance of the lot at LMH but mainly back into general revenue at Fraser Health. Looking at how to better handle parking at emergency is an ongoing effort. At some hospitals they have pay by
phone and that might be something considered at LMH. “We do have to make sure whatever changes take place are cost-effective,” said Juma. Paid parking at hospitals has been a hot topic in communities around Langley. Last November, protests went on outside Ridge Meadows Hospital. In Delta, council passed a bylaw, banning paid parking at that hospital. The mayor stated a patient’s health is improved by visitors.

gional Parks. Soaring in the skies, hunting along the river, calling to a mate or guarding a nest, the eagles are resident year round and spectacular to watch. Find out where a prominent eagle nest can be spotted from the trails in Derby —from a respectful distance, of course. This is a free event, hosted by the association, and is open to the public. Hancock’s presentation will be preceded by a short annual general meeting.
Truck crash closes 16 Avenue on Friday A major east-west route in South Langley was closed for about 12 hours on Friday, as the result of a truck crash.
In addition to the road closure, there was a minor spill of fuel into the Little Campbell River. The crash took place
near the river, between 200 and 208 Streets, in an area where the road winds down a hill.

Fire safety crucial

Published Tuesday and Thursday at 20258 Fraser Highway, Langley, B.C., V3A 4E6 by Black Press Ltd. Sales agreement No. 3298280. Contents copyright of Black Press.
Fire safety is on the minds of many Langley residents these days, with word of yet another fire death on Friday. This is the fifth death in a house fire in the past 10 months. Three of these were in Langley Township, and two in Langley City. This is an unusually high number of fire fatalities, which over the years have been declining, due to fewer people smoking, better fire safety measures in new buildings and widespread use of smoke alarms. Several of these fires came within structures which are not up to the latest building standards. A fire in Glen Valley which took the life of a two-year-old boy occurred in an older wood frame home, and the latest fire death broke out in a mobile home, which burns very quickly once a fire begins. No matter whether a home is up to the latest standards or not, every home dweller can take the most important fire safety measure within their home. That is to ensure that there are sufficient smoke alarms — and that they are working. It is also important that at least one of those smoke alarms be battery-powered, because if a fire cuts the electricity supply, and all smoke alarms are connected to the home’s wiring, they won’t work at the most crucial time. This is equally true when there is a power outage, and sometimes power outages lead to people heating and cooking by unconventional methods. It is also important to have an escape plan and to go over it with children. This is done regularly in schools and businesses, and it is equally important in homes. Other fire safety ideas include having a fire extinguisher in the home. These are important to deal with certain types of small fires (often cooking-related), which cannot be extinguished with water. Prompt use of a fire extinguisher can often put out these fires with minimal damage. Some basic actions on the part of all who live in their own homes, which include suites and trailers, can prevent future tragedies.

Will Canadian athletes win more Olympic medals at Sochi than at the 2010 Vancouver Games?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
they
It’s always satisfying to watch as municipal governments stand up to federal government policies. While it is usually a David versus Goliath scenario, it’s still encouraging to watch our most local of representatives battle the omnipresent, highest level of Canadian politicians. Case in point, Nelson’s official opposition to the recent decision by Canada Post to phase out home delivery. In December, it was announced that within five years, all door-to-door mail delivery service will be eliminated in favour of community mailboxes located throughout the city. Nelson city council is standing, united, against that policy and has sent a letter opposing the plan and voicing its concerns. It will in all likelihood fall on deaf ears — even council knows that — but at least the message was sent. It is one of the ongoing problems with creating policy for a country as vast as Canada. Decision makers in Ottawa can’t possibly have a full grasp of how their policies will impact smaller rural communities in Saskatchewan, or the Yukon, or even the Kootenays. Having a community mailbox might be fine in downtown Toronto where there is likely one every block. But throughout the winter months, what senior wants to walk, or drive, in the snowy, below freezing conditions of this more sparsely populated area? Municipal governments may be thought of as the entity that hikes property taxes, plows roads and attends grand openings, however it also has to be our voice — that annoying squeak in the background that shouts “what about us?” while the federal government goes about running the entire country. We applaud council for taking a stand and speaking out for its citizens. They may be ignored, but it’s better to be ignored for squeaking than for remaining silent. — Nelson Star

Meters make her sick Editor: When BC Hydro installed nine smart meters beside our home in June of 2012, I became very ill. The radiation from these meters affects my balance, my speech, and has even deformed my nails. We have taken steps to prevent the radiation from entering our home, but if our analogue meter is replaced with a smart meter it would increase electromagnetic fields in our home, which would make me very ill. BC Hydro is charging us an extra $35 a month to read our analogue meter, but it is read only every other month. Sometimes our usage is only estimated and no reading is done at all. They claim this monthly fee is for meter reader wages, truck expenses, gas, etc. They still come to read the nine smart meters, but will not read my meter at that time, even though they are standing right in front of it. They have moved the reading of my meter to alternating months to attempt to justify this outrageous fee. How can our government justify engaging in such unethical practices? When did we lose our right to live free from harm in our own homes? One issue at a time, we are being led silently into oppression. CHRISTINE WIKSTROM, LANGLEY

Editor: Are we living in a democracy, or a third world dictatorship, where a well-heeled developer, aided by a smooth team of advisors, can convince most of our council to defy its own bylaws? The Coulter Berry proposal, version one or two, ignores the Fort Langley Community Plan and the Heritage Conservation provisions which are there to protect the heritage atmosphere of our village for residents, businesses and visitors. The recent Supreme Court decision pointed out the error of the council’s ways, but instead of doing the right thing by enforcing compliance with the guidelines, council is now going to appeal the court decision that ruled its actions illegal.
It will spend an even greater amount of taxpayers’ money on litigation. It takes a courageous person to admit one’s mistakes and honestly work to correct them, but this does not seem to be council’s intention at the moment. Sometime down the road, we may decide to revisit the Fort Langley Community Plan to discuss possible changes. This would entail extensive public consultation with a number of interest groups. Until that happens, this proposal should not go forward. The question is not whether we prefer Coulter Berry one or two, but do we support democracy and the principles of due process?

‘Before I Die’ wall explained Vision for future
Editor: Re: Before I Die wall, (The Times, Feb. 4). Words cannot express how disappointed and surprised I am that the “Before I Die” wall project I proposed for Langley City was turned down by council. My wife Donalda and I first came across such a wall in Mount Vernon, Washington. It immediately struck me as a marvellous idea. It was covered with the hopes, dreams and aspirations of ordinary people. I had no idea at the time that it was, quite literally, a worldwide project. On Google, there are pictures of walls in about 600 cities all around the world. I thought we really need to become part of this global community, and have one of these in Langley City. (Incidentally, every city that sends a picture of their wall, and information about their city, gets a web page on their site). “Before I Die” is a global art project that invites people to reflect on their lives and personal aspirations in public space. The project was started by Candy Chang on an abandoned house in New Orleans, after she lost someone she loved. There is a video of her story on Google. I urge readers to look at it. The timing of the article in The Times was quite coincidental. Just a few earlier, in the Super Bowl pre-game, the Seahawks players were shown writing on a wall in their dressing room which was patterned after the “Beore I Die” wall. I realize that newspaper articles are not always completely accurate, but several comments attributed to council members stuck out. One was the word “messy.” Of course the walls are messy. They are people writing with chalk. One message I saw in Mount Vernon was “I
want to walk on the moon”. Does it really matter that the writing was “messy?” Another reported comment was that the idea seemed “morbid.” That took me by surprise. The messages vary from humourous to uplifting to inspirational. There is nothing at all morbid about the project. Another concern mentioned was that the wall would become a place for graffiti. I would have thought so too — until I spoke to the people in Mount Vernon. There has been none at all. Nor have I seen any reports of the problem from anywhere around the world. Nor has there been a problem with “nasty” things being written (of course, they are easily erased at any rate). One last comment about this project. It will likely be far and away the most inexpensive art project the City has ever undertaken. All the City needs to do is clad one wall with about six sheets of plywood (24 feet). The only other materials are the “wall kit” (look at “build your own wall” on the website). They supply materials — notably the stencil — at cost, one or two cans of blackboard paint and a couple of cans of white spray paint. Other than erecting the plywood, I will attend to obtaining all the other materials and completing the wall myself. If erected, I have no doubt it will also be the most-visited and talked-about art project in the City. When I read it was turned down, I first considered approaching the Township about erecting one, perhaps in Fort Langley. But the City is where it really belongs. I would like the City to take a second look at this idea. BARRY WHAITES, LANGLEY
Editor: Over the last few months, I have been involved in a vision meeting for Langley School District, with a wonderful core group of teachers, principals, students and parents. This process is meant to get the “Good Stuff” the school district has to offer and make it better, growing with the technological times and ways of the world. I have been very inspired by this process, knowing that Langley is thinking ahead and identifying that some things need to change in our education system. I wanted to share my experiences with you. The new vision statement is: “Langley School District is an innovative, inspiring and unified learning community.” The goal is to become all of these things. The process was to identify all the things that we want to grow towards. It was amazing to hear and see, through all of the people involved, that we have a lot of the same core values and ideas. We seemed to all be in agreement that it takes a community to grow strong leaders for the future. We pictured that all types of community members could come together into the school systems and teach their passions. When kids are introduced to someone with a great passion for what they do, they in turn become passionate about learning the subjects. There was talk about the core curriculum and how we need to be able to teach students to put their knowledge into real life experiences. Teachers also expressed that we need to allow for more time freedoms to be able to focus on learning, as opposed to teaching. I encourage parents and students to visit the district website to learn more about what Langley is doing to grow towards the 21st century. NATASHA PATEY, PAC VICE-PRESIDENT, WIX BROWN ELEMENTARY

12 resident-only parking spaces proposed in S. Yorkson

Johnston Meier Insurance Agencies Group #101 • 19978 • 72 Ave, Langley
Langley Township is considering installing 12 temporary onstreet parking stalls to address a shortage of spaces in South Yorkson. The suggestion is contained in a Feb. 3 staff report to council that says, if approved, the spots would be located at the corner of 212 Street and 80 Avenue at a cost of $50,000. It would only be temporary, the report warned, because the area “is part of a future road realignment.” The report goes on to insist that the “parking supply in the neighbourhood is consistent with the requirements of the zoning bylaw” but admits there is additional demand for parking because some houses have secondary suites. “Staff will be undertaking a review of best practices and alternatives to address this concern,” says the memo from the Township engineering division. Some homeowners have sug-

is sympathetic to the residents’ struggle to find enough parking paces, there is a potential legal problem with lifting the parking regulations. That’s because the residents all signed a legally binding covenant when they bought their houses that specifies no parking on 80 Avenue or 212 Street. Overriding that restriction could open up a “huge Pandora’s box,” Fox warned. “There’s some due diligence that needs to be done before we walk into this hornet’s nest,” Fox said. Councillor Kim Richter said Township regulations don’t require enough parking in new residential developments like South Yorkson. “They are living in a nightmare and they have come to us for help,” said Richter, who went on to call it a “nightmare we [council] have created.” Richter has served notice she will be asking the rest of council to support the 12 new parking spots proposed in the report.

gested introducing “residents only” parking or time-limited parking, but both options were rejected by the report. “The Township does not have the permitting process, the administrative, or enforcement structure necessary to implement such a program” the report said. The parking problem in South Yorkson has become severe because about 150 roadside parking spaces on three different streets designated as major “arterial” roads were recently eliminated by the Township, including spaces along the fourlane-wide stretch of 80 avenue. Over the holidays, following complaints from residents about a shortage of available parking, Township council agreed to allow vehicles in the no-parking areas of 80 Avenue so visitors would not be forced to park several blocks away. But now the ban is back. When the issue came up at a January council meeting, Councillor Charlie Fox said while he

at Cowry Kitchen put their house up for sale and risk losing their hard-earned money. “The market has really changed out there so we see a lot of customers who are putting off selling and creating the kitchen of their dreams,” said Zhu. While a ‘new’ kitchen can seem like an overwhelming and costly project, it doesn’t have to be the case, she notes. “The entire look can be changed with something as simple as new countertops or kitchen cabinets –really, the sky is the limit, depending on your budget.” Zhu encourages anyone ready to update their kitchen to stop by the Langley showrooms today and speak to one of Cowry’s experienced designers for first-rate advice on your fall kitchen project. Once you have chosen your product, Cowry will then arrange for a quick delivery and professional installation to keep your project running on time. They keep a huge inventory of stock in their warehouse to ensure your products are ready to go as soon as you place an order. All of their kitchen
cabinets ship out within three business days. Unsure of where to get started? Cowry’s expert kitchen designers will help you cook up some general ideas with the help of 3-D design software for use of space, location of appliances and storage priorities at no cost. “All we need is your measurements and colour scheme — we can do the rest!” said Zhu. “We can design the whole thing when you come see us inside.” Zhu is also happy to swing by your home to give homeowners some ideas and an estimate. “I was just out in Aldergrove yesterday after work to chat with a client about their vision,” she said. “We decided on what kind of countertop would best go with their white shaker cabinets from us. The one we chose is going to look stunning when paired with their flooring, walls and cabinets.” To celebrate 8 years in business, Cowry Kitchens is taking 20 per cent off all solid wood cabinets until March 18, 2014.

LEARN THE Early Warning Signs of Bullying! Children grow and develop their personalities in various ways. While many youngsters are teased or receive some goodnatured ribbing at some point in their school careers, some teasing can eventually turn into bullying. The National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Furthermore, more than 70 percent of students report incidents of bullying at their schools. Although children in lower grades have reported being in more fights than those in higher grades, there is a higher rate of violent crimes in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. According to the association Make Beats Not Beat Downs, harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents.
Bullying can take many forms, and learning the warning signs as a parent can help prevent harassment and potentially dangerous situations. Verbal: If your child reports being called names, being the recipient of racist, sexist or homophobic jokes, or being spoken to in an offensive or suggestive way, this can be a form of verbal bullying. Cyber: Social media, email and text messaging has become a way for bullies to spread malicious messages or photos. In the era of digital media, this type of bullying has increased considerably. Physical: Some bullies engage in physical attacks, including hitting, kicking, spitting, or other forms of physical confrontation. Destroying personal property also is considered physical bullying.
Pink Shirt Day is Wednesday Feb 27th
Indirect: Gossiping and spreading nasty rumors about a person is another form of bullying. This type of bullying may go hand-inhand with cyber bullying. Signs your child is being bullied:
Parents can recognize certain signs that their child is being bullied at school.
Celebrate
Diversity
Bullied children frequently make excuses to avoid going to school. While the desire to stay home is something many children may express, those who are bullied may do so much more frequently. Bullied children tend to avoid certain places and may be sad, angry, withdrawn, or depressed. They may have trouble sleeping or experience changes in appetite, and bullied youngsters' academic performance may suffer. Also, parents may notice that children return from school missing some of their belongings. Signs your child is the bully: Parents may not want to imagine their children bullying other students, but bullies do exist. Children who bully other kids have strong needs for power and negative dominance. They may find satisfaction in causing suffering to others. Some signs that your child may be a bully include:
There are ways parents can teach their children to act properly when faced with a bully. First, parents should explain that bullying is not the child's fault and he or she does not deserve to be picked on. Next, parents can let children know that being assertive but not violent with bullies may diffuse the situation, as some bullies thrive on the fear of their victims. If the bullying behavior continues, the student should speak to an adult or authority figure. Parents of bullies may need to be especially mindful of their children's behavior. Counseling could be necessary to determine what is compelling kids to bully other students.
• Easily becoming violent with others • Having friends who bully others • Blaming others quickly • Comes home with belongings that do not belong to him or her • Getting in trouble with teachers or school administrators • Picking on siblings • Not accepting responsibility for actions

Langley 2014 BC Seniors Games – Everyone Wins! Jim McGregor
Jim McGregor Photo
Langley 2014 BC Seniors Games President Milt Kruger and Vice President Michael Jackstien review their check list as the Games Directors get the planning under way for the BC Seniors Games coming to Langley from Sept 9-13, 2014.
The twenty-seventh BC Seniors Games will be held in Langley from September 9 to 13, 2014. The motto of the Games is “Everyone Wins’ and the organizers of the Langley Games are working to make sure that ‘ everyone’ includes not only the thousands of competitors but the volunteers and the fans as well.
unteering at those major events. We have a great depth and breadth of experience on our team, and I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people, working with them and finding out who they are and what they bring.”
The BC Seniors Games is an annual multi-sport competition celebrating active, healthy seniors 55+. The Langley 2014 BC Seniors Games Society is the Host Society responsible for planning and delivering the Games led by a Volunteer Board of Directors.
Michael Jackstien is a veteran of the organization of major events. In 2010 he was the Vice Chair of Langley’s Spirit of B.C. Committee during the 2010 Olympics. He was Chair of the 2010 BC Summer Games and in 2013 he was Vice Chair of the BC Special Olympics Summer Games, all those events being held here in Langley.
Milt Kruger and Michael Jackstien are the President and Vice-President of the Langley 2014 BC Seniors Games. “We are very proud that Langley was selected as the site for this year’s Games,” says Milt. “We are have already been working hard to build our organizing team, set up our offices and get open for business.” Milt was appointed in March 2013 and he is one of the people who has benefited from being part of the previous competitions held in his community. “ Back in 2010, Langley hosted the BC Summer Games for young people, and I played a minor role for those games,” says Milt. “I enjoy a challenge and when the nominating committee approached me to assume the President’s role, I accepted the challenge.” “ Langley hosted the Special Olympics in 2013, and many of our directors gained a lot of experience vol-

Michael knows that the Langley community will always get behind these events. “I took on this position knowing that our Langley Communities always step up to the plate when a call goes out for volunteers or sponsors. I know that we will get the support these Games require, we’re not doing this alone and it’s a great opportunity to give back to the Community. “We will need several more volunteers now to help during the lead up to the games, as well as hundreds of volunteers as we get closer to the actual events,” Michael. “ We are expecting over 4000,athletes from around the Province and we will need over 2000 volunteers to manage the event. These volunteers will be required in virtually every aspect of delivery of the Games – areas such as medical, security, visitor hosts, accreditation, registration and results, and much more.
Right now, games awareness is what we are striving for. Langley always comes through so we are not worried about finding volunteers.” The Board of Directors also bring with them years of event planning experience in the community: Administration - Gordon Zacher; Ceremonies - Susan Magnuson; Communications - Rob Gjertsen; Friends of the Games - Anton Donkers; Medical Services - Marlyn Graziano; Protocol - Howie Vickberg; Registration and Results - John Jones; Security - Gary Bass; Special Events - Carly Davis; Sport - Tom Watson; Transportation John Cameron; Volunteer Registration - Johanne Hosting the Games can been an economic boost, with an estimated $2.6 million in economic activity by the participating seniors. Langley City and the Township decided on a joint bid for the 2014 Games. In 2010 and 2013, the Township alone hosted the B.C. Summer Games and the Special Olympics while in 2000, the City hosted the B.C. Disability Games.”It was the right time for the communities to bid together,” said Kim Hilton, director of recreation, culture and community services for the City.” Langley City MLA and Minister for the Environment agrees that the Langleys have so much to offer both in continued on next page

The 2014 BC Seniors Games facilities and competitors. “No longer are people who are aging or in the seniors’ realm going to sit on the couch and wait for family to come by and visit them,” Polak said.” They are out there, they are doing things, they are athletic, they are fit and they are making aging an entirely different experience for their generation.” In addition to the boost to the local economy the legacy of the games will benefit many local sporting groups. “Much of the sporting equipment that needs to be purchased for the events will be left behind for use in Langley’s venues or to be used by local sports groups.” Milt explains.”In addition, there is an incentive for us to be fiscally responsible as 50% of any budget surplus for the
Games remains with the host communities.” When asked why Langley has been successful in bidding for these major events over the past few years, Michael explains that there are a number of reasons. “ We have a great track record for producing great events. Certainly, our venues are second to none in the Province and we receive high praise from those coming here to compete.

In 2013 in Kamloops, The Fraser Valley Region finished first, winning a total of 403 medals. “ Many of our Directors attended the 2013 Games in Kamloops to watch and learn and the competitive spirit and camaraderie of the athletes was evident. Everyone was enjoying the experience,” observes Milt.
Michael agrees, “We want that spirit to grow in Langley, we want to get the fans out, we are starting to call for volunteers and sponsors and we encourage interested people to come by our office and check out our website.

Contest reconnected singer with her passion WINNING LANGLEY HAS TALENT INSPIRED KARI CULJAT T O FIN D H ER VOIC E AGAIN BR EN D A AND E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
Opera may not be her first love, but it was a stunning performance of Puccini’s O Mia Babbino Caro that earned a Langley singer first place in last year’s Langley Has Talent competition. And it has been opening doors for her ever since. As the winner of the third annual LHT contest, held last spring, 30-year-old Kari Culjat earned a $2,500 cash prize as well as studio time to record her music. And, over the past months, the Langley woman has been practising several new pieces for a CD. It’s been a nice change of pace, she said. “I’ve enjoyed learning new songs,” said Culjat, whose prize-winning voice is entirely untrained. Although she listens to and sings a range of musical styles, it is opera that comes most naturally to her. “Opera kind of chose me. “I actually sing everything,” she said. Truthfully she’s not even a huge fan of the style. But, at nine, she saw Phantom of the Opera and “fell in love with those specific songs.” “My mom is a huge opera fan. I grew up listening to it. “I don’t listen to opera for enjoyment — only when I’m learning a song,” she said. Culjat has never taken a singing lesson, but it’s something she would like to do one day — once

Opera singer Kari Culjat took top spot in last year’s annual Langley Has Talent competition. The 30-year-old mother of two has been busy learning new songs to record during studio time which she won as part of her package. Culjat also took home a $2,500 cash prize and a professional photography session. her life settles down a bit. As a working mother of two girls — Katie, 10 and Emily, 14 — Culjat’s priorities steered her away from the music she loved to perform when she was younger. “I had given up on singing altogether. I got married and had a daughter at 18,” she said. When Culjat was 24, her sis-
ter passed away, leaving behind a daughter, who the singer then adopted. With two children to raise, she had all but given up on music. “I always loved singing. I was very musical in high school,” said Culjat. In fact, it was a few of Culjat’s co-workers at the Langley
Milestones restaurant who, remembering her musical theatre performances at H.D. Stafford, encouraged her to audition for the competition. “I had never heard of it before I auditioned,” she said. This year, she will return as a guest performer during the finals competition, accompanied by her
daughter Emily on piano. Winning the talent competition refocused Culjat on her music, she said. And it has given her opportunities she otherwise wouldn’t have had. She was invited to perform at a fundraiser for the Langley Lodge and, more recently, at the City of Langley’s volunteer appreciation evening. “It seems like every time I sing at an event, another (invitation) comes along.” “That’s been very exciting for me,” she said. “I love doing the charity work, I’m not interested in making a lot of money.” Beyond performing locally and finishing her CD, Culjat hasn’t decided how actively to pursue a music career. “My daughters are obviously my number one priority,” she said. At the same time, she knows she needs to set an example and give her girls the opportunity to pursue their own goals. “Music is a big part of our lives. “I realize how (it feels) to give up on the things you love and your dreams and I don’t want my daughters to do that.” ••• The fourth annual Langley Has Talent competition semi-finals will be held at Christian Life Assembly, 21277 56 Ave., on Saturday, March 29.

Langley singer-songwriter Richie Vokes laughs at one of the judge’s jokes following his audition Sunday for the fourth annual Langley Has Talent competition.
So far, the women have dominated — with two female singers and a dancer taking top spot in the first three years of Langley Has Talent — but will this be the year that a man emerges victorious at the finals of the annual competition? It’s anyone’s guess, said the contest’s founder Peter Luongo, who this past weekend finished auditioning candidates for the fourth annual talent show, which opens on March 29. It took a lot of discussion and a few serious disagreements, but a trio of judges managed to winnow 60 candidates down to 25 contestants who will take the stage at Christian Life As-
sembly next month. Although the number of acts who auditioned this winter is down from previous years, the bar continues to be raised, said Luongo. “What’s consistent every year is that the quality (of the performances) has gone up.” Though the judges had planned to cap the number of competitors at 24, they couldn’t agree on who to leave out. In the end, judges Luongo, his daughter, Lisa Luongo Smith and talent agent Jolene Moore, were able to settle on a range of acts to perform at the semi-finals. Of those, he said, 19 were ‘no-brainers,’ while another group of 15 sat on the
bubble and created plenty of back and forth among the judges. “We were agonizing over who to take and not to take.” Among the 25 acts who will compete for cash and industry prizes are eight solo vocalists (including one rapper) seven duets, one instrumental performer, a band and a trio and five physical acts — including dancers, gymnasts and a unicyclist. The annual Langley Has Talent competition is once again presented by the four Rotary Clubs of Langley. One of its main goals is to draw attention to the need for a dedicated performing arts centre in Langley — something a task force,
including representatives from the City, the Township, the school district and both of Langley’s universities has been formed to do. This year, Langley Has Talent is also working with the Langley school district, offering every elementary and middle school student in the district free admission to the shows, as long as they are accompanied by a parent with a paid ticket. Semi-final competition will be held at Christian Life Assembly, 21277 56 Ave., on Saturday, March 29. The finals will take place two weeks later, on April 12. Both events begin at 6 p.m. For tickets and other information, visit langleyhastalent.com.

Kosterman excited to play close to home GARY AHUJA Times Sports
He has represented his province and his country, but never has Jack Kosterman suited up for the Fraser Valley zone. But that will change this week as the 15-year-old from Langley will lead Team Fraser Valley in wheelchair basketball at the B.C. Winter Games. The Games are being held in Mission — with a few other sites, such as the Walnut Grove Aquatic Centre in Langley — from Feb. 20 to 23. See story below for full list of local athletes. And while the athletes are all the same age, Kosterman looks forward to sharing his vast experience with the squad’s younger players. Kosterman played for Canada in September at the world junior (U23) wheelchair basketball championships in Tur-
key, as Canada finished sixth. He has also previously competed at the 2011 Canada Games competition and a pair of Western Canadian championships. “It is the first step towards a competitive environment for them,” he said. “It is always exciting to play with new players and show some leadership skills and help them develop the best I can.” And while travelling east through the Fraser Valley isn’t as glamourous as hopping a plane and heading to another country, but Kosterman doesn’t mind. “Playing close to home is nice,” he said. “Travelling is great but every once in a while it is nice to play in your home province and get an opportunity for some family and friends to watch.” The majority of the Team B.C. players — including Kosterman — are all mem-
bers of the Langley Gold Rush, with Kosterman. The Gold Rush are a club basketball program. This is the start of a busy stretch for Kosterman. Earlier this month he was named to Team B.C. for the 2014 junior wheelchair basketball championships. They will be held March 28 to 30 in Edmonton. Kosterman, who one day dreams of playing for Canada at the Paralympics, says it can be challenging playing a high-level sport while balancing the demands of everyday life. “But basketball comes first in my life, it is what I want to do so it is the priority all the time,” he said. Kosterman is a Grade 10 student at Langley Fine Arts School. “School isn’t too tough (and) as long as I keep on top of it, I don’t fall too behind,” he said.

Kodiaks’ Ryan wins Rivermen hit road, earn PG split PJHL scoring title The Aldergrove Kodiaks enter the post-season on a six-game winning streak after closing the regular season with a 7-4 win over the Port Moody Panthers. The junior B hockey game was played on Saturday night at the Port Moody Arena and it was the team’s second victory of the week as they also beat the Abbotsford Pilots 5-3 on Feb. 12. Both games required the Kodiaks to rally from first-period deficits as they were down 3-1 against Abbotsford and 2-1 to the Panthers. Stephen Ryan scored two goals and added two assists versus Port Moody to win the Pacific Junior Hockey League scoring title with 41 goals and 88 points. He won by 18 points over teammate Adam Callegari. Both are products of the Langley
Minor Hockey Association. Ryan also became the first 40-goal scorer in the league in the past seven seasons. His point total was also the highest since the 2008/09 campaign. The Kodiaks finished the regular season with a sparkling record of 34-6-2-2 and 72 points, 13 clear of second-place Abbotsford in the race for top spot in the Harold Brittain Conference. Aldergrove did finish second overall in the entire league as the Richmond Sockeyes (34-5-3-2, 73 points) edged them by a single point. Up next is a best-of-seven first round playoff series against the Mission City Outlaws. The teams play tonight (Tuesday) at the Mission Leisure Centre with game two set for tomorrow (Wednesday) at the Aldergrove Arena.
After seeing their 12-game point streak come to an end, the Langley Rivermen went right back to their winning ways. The junior A hockey club lost 3-1 to the Prince George Spruce Kings on Feb. 13 but rebounded to win 4-3 the next night. Both games were at the Prince George Coliseum in a first-place showdown for top spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division. The split leaves Langley (33-13-2-5, 73 points) with an eight-point cushion over Prince George (30-18-3-2, 65 points) as both teams have five games remaining in the regular season. That includes three head-tohead contests to close the sea-
son. In the teams’ games last week, Prince George struck for three goals in the first seven minutes and that was more than enough offence to hand the Rivermen their first regulation loss since the end of December. Zach Urban had the lone Langley goal in the loss. The rematch saw the Rivermen jump out to a 3-0 lead a dozen minutes into the game as Tanner Johnson, Marcus Vela and Matt Ustaski all struck for goals. Prince George cut the lead to 3-2 after one period and then tied things up in the second.
Gators hosting Pro-D day camp The Walnut Grove Gators are hosting a Pro-D day sports day camp on Friday (Feb. 21).

Needing a pair of victories for a chance to move on, the Spartans lost both ends of a home-and-home series with the Fraser Valley Cascades to finish 1012. The Cascades won 5854 and 83-78. The Spartans women’s team also wrapped up their season, losing 78-54 and 55-39 to Fraser Valley. Trinity Western was 5-17 on the season.

Thunder add pieces GARY AH UJ A Ti me s Spo r t s
Considering the circumstances, Langley Thunder general manager Rob Buchan was pleased with his draft haul. The Thunder senior A lacrosse team has no picks in the first three rounds of the Western Lacrosse Association’s junior draft as the result of making trades and loading up in the past couple of seasons. “(For) where we picked, I thought we did really good,” Buchan said. “I thought we did very good with the picks we had.” The annual draft for players born in 1992 was held on Feb. 6 at the Langley Events Centre. Langley held the 27th and 28th overall picks — the final two of the fourth round — but swapped those to the Nanaimo Timbermen for the second pick in the fourth round, 22nd overall, which they used on Quinn Smith. Smith, an offensive left-handed player, is from Kamloops and played his junior with New Westminster. He was ninth in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League with 27 goals and 76 points. “I had him pegged as a 14 or 15 (pick overall) so to get him at 22, so we were real happy with that,” Buchan said. “Same with Adam Will — we got him at 29 (fifth round) — and he is a good two-way player and we thought he could have gone much earlier.” Will comes from the Langley Junior Thunder program. He was fourth on the team with 23 goals and 52 points. “Our intentions were to hopefully get one player who could make our team (this year) and contribute,” Buchan said. “I think both of those kids will make our team and contribute for a number of years.” The Thunder also drafted five other players: Nathan Henare, Nash Harrison, Michael Bosch, Keenan Staples and Garrett Span with their sixth through tenth round picks. Henare, Bosch and Staples all played junior with Langley while the other two are from the Port Coquitlam junior squad. “Any of those guys will have the

same opportunity to come out and work hard and try and make the team,” Buchan said. “Obviously the later in the draft (they are taken) the tougher it is for them, but guys in the past from the fifth and sixth rounds have ended up making our team.” In addition to the three Jr. Thunder players taken in the draft by Langley, another 11 from the organization were also selected. Altogether, the Langley junior organization led the way with 15 players selected, followed by a dozen from Victoria, nine from New West and eight from Coquitlam. Sean Lundstrom went in the second round (eighth overall) to New Westminster while Reegan Comeault, Brandon Bull and Nick Stone all went in the third round. Comeault went to Nanaimo while the other two were taken by Victoria. Maple Ridge grabbed Zach Porter in the fourth round, Tyler Glebe went to Coquitlam in the fifth round and Matt Messenger (New Westminster) and Dylan Quinn (Maple Ridge) were taken in the sixth round. The seventh round saw Spencer England (New West) and Spencer Evans (Maple Ridge) selected while Brenden Kidd went to Maple Ridge in round eight. Another Langley product, Brendan Rouse of the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies, went in the second round to Burnaby. Three of the draft picks, including Lundstrom, are also members of the National Lacrosse League’s Vancouver Stealth. Tyler Garrison, a second-year member of the Stealth, was the top overall pick in the WLA draft, going to Coquitlam. And Chris Wardle went in the second round to Victoria. ••••• The Western Lacrosse Association also announced its 2014 schedule. The Langley Thunder begin the seaon May 17 versus Coquitlam.
