Langley is Canada’s mail theft capital MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Langley continues to have the dubious distinction of being the mail theft capital of Canada. Recently, Canada Post revealed that Metro Vancouver has the highest occurrence of mail theft, with Langley being the current and longstanding hotspot. Figures for 2013 from the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) show that the number of reported identity fraud victims was up by nearly 14 per cent over the previous year. The trend has continued this year, suggesting people need to be more vigilant when it comes to protecting their confidential information. According to the Langley RCMP crime analyst, in the week of Sept. 1 through 7, there were reports of five mail thefts, in Walnut Grove, north Langley, Willowbrook, Murrayville and 8 Avenue. “That isn’t remarkably high compared to the days when there were up to 20 mail thefts in just one night,” said Cpl. Holly Marks. “Slowly Canada Post is replacing the community boxes in Langley and people are getting smarter about picking up their mail every day.” A Langley man and woman in their 30s were recently charged with identity theft (see story below) after police dismantled a major fraud operation

based out of a rental house in north Langley. In that case, a stolen Canada Post uniform was found along with 13,000 identities, identity making equipment and other fraud items. The man arrested was already out on bail for doing the same thing in Burnaby. Though efforts to increase the public’s awareness continue with full force, the number of Canadians falling prey to identity fraud is on the rise nearly 14 per cent over the previous year. CAFC also estimates their statistics account for less than five per cent of actual fraudulent activity. That upward trend has continued into 2014, with CAFC’s mid-year numbers suggesting that just as many people, if not more, will be defrauded this year. “Though the dollar value of losses is decreasing, what we really want to see is fewer people victimized,” said Lindzee Herring, assistant vice-president of corporate security at Envision Financial. “Dealing with the aftermath of identity fraud is unpleasant and stressful, so we really encourage our members to take every possible step to safeguard their identity.” Personal documents are one of the most commonly-exploited means of identity theft.

A Langley man and woman have been arrested and a major fraud operation dismantled out of a north Langley home. Included in the items seized by police are a Canada Post uniform, 13,000 credit card numbers and more than $100,000 worth of construction, excavation and lawn equipment. On July 17, the RCMP “E” Division Federal Serious and Organized Crime Section (FSOC) with the assistance
of Langley RCMP, the Emergency Response Team and the Integrated Forensic Identification Section, executed a search warrant at a north Langley residence. The search warrant was the result of an investigation into several large fraudulent transactions. The investigation was initiated in June after a common suspect was identified through Abbotsford Police, Victoria Police and Burnaby RCMP investigations. Continued Page 5

International students wait in limbo MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r
With the school district’s annual budget relying heavily on international students, Langley administrators are hoping the strike doesn’t hurt enrolment next year. Already a few students have withdrawn from the program in Langley because of the strike, the district confirmed. The nearly 700 international students who are in Langley have not been provided with any instruction this year despite pay-
ing hefty fees to be here. The strike, keeping schools closed, is in its third week. “We held a few orientation events but there has been no instruction,” said Langley School District spokesperson Ken Hoff. “We remain hopeful school will be back in session sometime soon but in the meantime, our international students are just as frustrated as all our students.” Principals and vice-principals in a few other school districts have been offering some programming and class instruction
to international students. In Langley, some international students have withdrawn from the program because of the strike, Hoff confirmed. The school district heavily relies on revenue from the international students in their annual budget and the strike could cost B.C. school boards millions if international students decided to go elsewhere. “It’s always a concern that this will damage the reputation of the international program,” he said.
At one of the last school board meetings, members of the team that organize the international student program said it has exceeded expectations in the number of students coming to Langley from other countries for this school year, and the district had budgeted accordingly. International students can ask for tuition refunds until Sept. 30, according to a letter to the editor (The Times, Sept. 2) from Ming Hu, who works with Langley international students.

Deputy premier and Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman unveils a sign with the new name for the B.C. Seniors Games on Saturday at the closing ceremonies. The games will now be known as the 55+ Games, to reflect the age groups taking part in the annual event.

One phone call sums up the essence of the B.C. Seniors Games. A volunteer was at the Walnut Grove Aquatic Centre, watching as an athlete in her 90s kept touching the wall and completing her turn for another lap of the pool. The volunteer remarked that she felt inspired just watching this athlete compete. Shirley Stewart relayed the story to The Times on Monday, two days after the 2014 B.C. Seniors Games came to a close in Langley. Stewart served as the Games’ operations manager. The four-day event brought more than 3,800 athletes from all around the province to the Township and the City. The Games also featured close to 1,200 volunteers. “Everything went great,” Stewart said, echoing the sentiments of the volunteer who called her about how inspiring the athletes were. The athletes ranged in age from 55 to 97 and three of those in attendance had competed at the first B.C. Seniors Games back in 1987. “That is just amazing, that they are still competing,” Stewart marveled. As for the overall event, Stewart said there were no complaints. “The weather was absolutely perfect,” she said. “We couldn’t ask for anything better.” At Saturday’s closing ceremonies, it was also announced that the annual event will henceforth be known as the “55+ Games.” The announcement was made by Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, who unveiled the name and new logo. Coleman said the name change “reflects the spirit and vitality” of the competitors better. The next games will be held in 2015 in North Vancouver. At the closing ceremonies, Township Mayor Jack Froese praised the “army” of volunteers who helped keep the event running smoothly. — with files from Dan Ferguson

Police warn of counterfeit bills Langley RCMP are putting out a warning about fake U.S. money, after seeing an increase in counterfeit bills. Over the last couple of months, Langley RCMP has seen an increase in U.S. currency being used in the community. In the three most recent instances, an unknown female on Aug. 6 used counterfeit U.S. money to make a purchase. On Aug. 7 and 9, four youths paid for goods with counterfeit $100 U.S. notes. Police have seized the notes, identified the youths and informed their par-
ents of their actions, said Cpl. Holly Marks. Businesses should familiarize themselves with some of the security features of U.S. currency. These features can be found at the following link: http:// moneyfactory.com/anticounterfeiting/securityfeatures.html If you suspect you have been offered a counterfeit note during a transaction: • Politely refuse the note and explain that you suspect that it may be counterfeit. • Ask for another note (and check it too).
• Advise the person to check the note with the local police. • Inform local police of a possible attempt to pass suspected counterfeit money. It is important to be courteous, say police. The person in possession of the bill could be an innocent victim who does not realize that the note is suspicious. If you have any questions or would like a staff or personal safety presentation, contact Langley RCMP’s Business Link Co-ordinator at 604-532-3210.

A stolen Canada Post uniform was among thousands of stolen items found by police during an investigation into a series of fraud-related crimes, including mail theft. A Langley man and woman have been arrested and charged with fraud, identity theft and possession of property obtained by crime.
Paper trail easy for fraudsters to follow From Page 1
“Paper is the easiest for criminals to exploit for identity fraud,” Herring says. “People make it too easy for criminals to obtain confidential personal information.” Mail theft and dumpster diving for personal documents like financial statements or mailings are typical avenues that criminals use to obtain someone’s confidential personal information. “Paper account statements can be less secure than online statements because people are failing to be vigilant in safeguarding their confiden-
tial documents,” said Herring. “Identity theft through the internet is always a possibility, but it generally requires a higher degree of sophistication and expertise.” Envision Financial has offered its members free, secure electronic account statements (e-statements), recommending the service as one measure for reducing the risk of identity theft. “Electronic statements, along with proper computer security and regular, secure document shredding are just a few of the layers of security consumers can use to increase the security of their personal information.”

Police also seized counterfeit government identity documents in various stages of manufacturing and equipment required to manufacture counterfeit documents. There was also the information of personal identity for many individuals who had no association to the residence. “These items are believed to
have been acquired through fraud and many of the individuals identified and contacted during this investigation process were previously unaware that they had been victimized,” says Staff Sgt. John Taylor of FSOC. The man arrested on outstanding fraud charges and is being held in custody. Giovanni Michael Aiello, 32, and Nichole (Nikki) Maria McGregor,
36, both of Langley, are each facing several charges including fraud, identity theft, possession of property obtained by crime and possession of instruments for forging credit cards. One of their charges is in relation to the recent PharmaNet data breach. The pair face similar charges in Burnaby, Nanaimo and Edmonton.

Gary Hee talks to Township Mayor Jack Froese Saturday morning at a residents’ petition drive for traffic safety improvements on 72 Avenue and 198B Street, the scene of several serious crashes including a recent pedestrian fatality.
Residents mount 72 Ave. petition D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
Covering over the ditch on 72 Avenue near 198B Street with temporary steel plates would provide an immediate, low-cost interim safety solution, says Gary Hee, the organizer of a petition calling for traffic calming measures at the Langley intersection. “This might cost $10,000,” Hee told The Times Saturday, as he collected signatures at the intersection. Hee said Mayor Jack Froese was sympathetic, but made no commitments, when they spoke informally at the intersection that morning. Hee was to meet with Township staff to discuss his proposal on Monday. There have been a number of serious accidents in the area of 72 Avenue and 198B Street, where the road coming from the east narrows to two lanes, and a ditch on one side leaves pedestrians about a metre of space to walk on next to on-
coming traffic, without a sidewalk or curb to separate them. A recent collision claimed the life of an 83-year-old man on Thursday, Sept. 4. He was hit by a car. Roger Bhullar, who lives next to the intersection, said crashes are all too common at that location. “I see it every day,” said Bhullar, who was working with Hee to collect names Saturday. “We understand that it’s a slow process [to install a traffic light and sidewalk] but something needs to be done now,” Bhullar added. Hee launched a petition to improve traffic safety along 72 Avenue last year after a young boy was hit while rollerblading and a 19-year-old woman was struck in a hit-and-run crash and left lying in a ditch. Hee said he was warned by Surrey city staff that he could face prosecution if he painted his own crosswalk on the road, while Township staff told him
to remove home-made warning signs, citing transport regulations. Ramin Seifi, Township general manager, engineering and community development, has told council plans for the area include “full signalization” near the scene of the crash early in the new year. A memo to council from the engineering division said the Township has the money to build a traffic light at 196 Street and 72 Avenue, but can’t proceed until a design consultant hired by the city of Surrey finishes work later this year. The memo noted plans for widening of 72 Avenue between 196 Street and 200 Street to four lanes, including left turn lanes and bicycle lanes.

Question langeytimes.com
Students in B.C. public schools have now missed an entire month of classes, and there is just a glimmer of hope that the B.C. Teachers Federation strike may end soon. It is easy to blame the provincial government, or the union. Both must accept much of the responsibility for the sorry impasse this labour situation has reached. The lack of meaningful bargaining for months, and willingness to leave the contract talks in limbo for almost the entire summer, is a major reason there are no classes. However, it is important to fully understand why things have got to this sorry state. There has been bad blood between the BCTF and the provincial government for more than 40 years, going back to the days of the W.A.C. Bennett Social Credit government. There have been many work stoppages, legislated settlements and threats from both sides. However, the real architect of this unmitigated disaster for students and parents is former premier Gordon Campbell. Policies enacted during his government’s first term, when he had a 75-seat majority in the provincial legislature, led directly to this situation. The BCTF likes to blame Premier Christy Clark, who for much of the Campbell government’s first term was education minister. However, she was not the developer of education policy. Campbell, a former teacher, was. He was well-known to be a micro-manager, and he had pronounced views on what was wrong with the education system and how best to fix it. The BC Liberals’ “New Era” campaign document, which they brandished as they went into the 2001 election, states that they wanted “excellence in education.” It stated the following: “The NDP’s rigid ‘one size fits all’ approach to education has hurt students, forced schools to cut services and diverted program funding to government-imposed labour contracts.” The “government-imposed labour contracts” referred to is a contract the BCTF brokered with the province under the Glen Clark NDP government. That contract contained fixed class sizes, and was imposed on school districts against their will. Campbell decided that the contract had to be changed. So his government removed portions of it unilaterally, taking out class size limits. That is the contract that Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin twice ruled was illegally altered by the government. She said the province acted illegally in its unilateral actions, breaking a legal contract, and called on the government to come up with solutions. The government is appealing her latest decision, with that appeal to be heard soon in the B.C. Court of Appeal. The BCTF isn’t the only union to have won a judgment against the Campbell government. The Hospital Employees Union also won in court, after the government unilaterally altered its contract and fired 8,000 HEU workers. In the HEU’s case, Campbell had specifically promised not to do so. He made no such promise to the BCTF. Campbell did such things because he, in effect, had no opposition. Two NDP MLAs could not possibly stay on top of all the changes his government was bringing in. Within his own caucus, there were some protests (most notably from Blair Lekstrom, MLA for Peace River South), but they were overridden. The unions got the last word. The HEU won its case in the Supreme Court of Canada in 2007. The BCTF case is winding its way there. Given that the contract-breaking is unconstitutional, it is time to acknowledge that the Campbell government went too far in the early 2000s. The provincial government would be far better off to come to an agreement with the BCTF on class size and composition and drop its appeal of Griffin’s decision. The government is arguing in court that it needs to have final say over how much is spent on education. That argument is correct — all the better reason to come to an agreement. For now, the two sides need to agree to reopen schools, and then engage in meaningful, protracted and effective bargaining — with a specific time limit. A negotiated agreement is a must, as the government has said. There must be a movement away from the nastiness between the two sides which has reached a zenith in this dispute.

Original design scuppered Editor: I read your column (The Times, Sept. 9) on the opening of the Mufford Overpass with a great deal of interest. Permit me to mention a few pertinent details. The well-guarded plans, concocted during Kurt Alberts’ final term as mayor, for the Mufford Overpass came to light in the fall of 2008, due to diligent efforts by the late Eric Bysouth. Since that time I have followed and documented the progress of the bypass in detail. I now have a file folder 1 7/16” thick on this project alone. The development-driven design for the overpass and road network connected with it would have cut right through the old Hudson Bay Farm property. It would have destroyed 30 acres of farm land and rendered the rest of the property largely unfarmable. There was another and far better design proposed, the so-called J-option, but it was rejected by council, as it evidently did not fit into their plans. When I attended at the Agricultural Land Commission’s office in Burnaby some time after Bysouth’s discovery, I showed them a copy of the original J-option drawings. As it turned out, the commission had never seen this document and it became apparent that the J-option drawings the Township for some reason had included with its application had been crudely altered, to the extent it bore only a vague resemblance to the original. The commission would have had no choice but to turn down the altered version it had received. Quite a curious state of affairs. Notwithstanding very strong opposition to Township council’s preferred design, when it came to a vote, the so-called sixpack of Councillors Fox, Ward, Bateman, Ferguson, Long and Dornan voted in favour. Mayor Green and Councillors Richter and Kositsky were opposed, and for that they all deserve credit. That however is not what put an end to this sorry
chapter. In order to level the playing field, four private individuals, Jacob deRaadt, Roy Mufford, Lee Lockwood and Rick Green, decided it was necessary to make the Agricultural Land Commission aware of some pertinent facts. The commission soon realized things pertaining to the Mufford Overpass were not quite as they had been presented to them by the Township. The commission therefore decided to hold its own public hearing, which was attended by some 300 people. Less than five speakers were in favour of the proposed design, with the rest of the many speakers were opposed. Some time after the public hearing, the commission rejected the design proposed by the Township. Ultimately, were it not for the intervention of the four individuals, instead of recently celebrating the opening of the new Mufford Overpass, we might have had to endure the opening of an ill-conceived monstrosity. For that these gentlemen deserve a lot of credit. The new overpass is a little better than what we had before, but the fact still remains, it is in the wrong place. It should have been built on the Langley Bypass, but that did not suit then-mayor Peter Fassbender of Langley City. The irony is that there are already loud rumblings about more overpasses being needed, including one on the Langley Bypass at Glover Road, where the real problem was to begin with, and at 200 Street. Not if, but when these additional overpasses are built, it is worth noting that they are both in the City of Langley and the upheaval of the construction, and the costs, will only affect us (Township residents), to a lesser degree. The J-option is looking better and better as time passes. T. BRAATEN, ALDERGROVE

A CN container train passes beneath the Mufford Overpass. The complex history of the project wasn’t mentioned at the official opening on Sept. 4, so reader T. Braaten has outlined just how the current overpass came to be in a letter to the editor.
Please return father’s special bike An insightful column Editor: I am writing this letter in hopes of having my dad’s bicycle returned to him. His bicycle was stolen on Tuesday, Sept. 9 around 11 a.m. at Willoughby Town Centre in Langley. It is a silver specialized bike with black lettering, and rounded handlebars with golf balls on the end. There was about $100 worth of groceries in the saddlebags. This was no ordinary bicycle. My father, Franco Canale, has suffered from Parkinson’s disease for over 15 years. I will always remember him as an incredibly active man. He was a PE teacher, he ran marathons, and I have many wonderful memories of him taking me and my six siblings on camping trips, long bike rides, and hikes. While he will always be strong in my eyes, this disease has changed his life immeasurably. As you may be aware, Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative disorder that gradually affects one’s movement. He has gone from the active man I described to one who is often not able to walk, despite his medication. The one thing that keeps him motivated is his bike.
He has spent many hours and a lot of money customizing it to suit his needs, and as he has not been able to drive for 10 years, it is his only means of transportation. It enables him to keep active, strong and positive in the face of his illness, and I truly believe it is saving his life. He is devastated that it is gone. As my dad is unable to work, my extremely hardworking mom is the sole provider for her family of seven children. This makes it difficult financially for him to purchase another bike that will suit his special needs. If the person who took it could somehow return it to the police, no questions asked, our family would be extremely grateful. Awareness around Parkinson’s is increasing, due in part to the activism of celebrities, such as Michael J. Fox. My father and the rest of my family were proud to recently volunteer at the Parkinson’s SuperWalk at Stanley Park. CECILIA CANALE, LANGLEY
Editor: Kudos, to you, for the historical, informative and insightful column (The Times, Sept. 9) regarding the impact that the Deltaport trains are having, and will continue to have on Langley. However, I had to smile when you described me as having a “combative personality.” While in office I did do battle, on behalf of the residents and taxpayers of this municipality, so perhaps you could describe me as combative. It is not an aspect of my personality, however, but rather what I felt that I was elected to do on behalf of the voters of Langley Township. RICK GREEN, R ICK GR EEN LANGLEY

Stark seeks Township council seat Dave Stark is seeking election as a councillor on Langley Township council. He has a varied background, working with municipal government, running his own businesses, working with non-profits and with community schools. The common theme has been building relationships and putting “people first,� he said. “The foundation of my belief system and platform is based upon people, relationships, and community. I believe that these are the necessary bricks that must support how the mayor and council deal with the vast majority of issues that impact all of our unique communities. “Sadly, many of these bricks have crumbled, and the relationship between our politicians and residents has become dysfunctional.

of mediator Charles Jago. The government argues that re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate. The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services. Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and sometimes eliminated as in the case of police and health care. “When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass backto-work legislation, and so on.” It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so. Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East. Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

Musical pioneer passes away LEONARD WOODS’ VISION LIVES ON IN LCMS BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
One of Langley’s musical pioneers has died. Leonard Woods, co-founder of the Langley Community Music School, passed away on Sept. 6. He was 94. Mr. Woods’ love of the arts was instilled during a childhood spent on a Manitoba farm. Despite the fact his family was not particularly well off, said Mr. Woods, during an interview in 2001, his father insisted that he and his siblings attend each and every exhibition or production that made its way to Winnipeg. Before moving west, Mr. Woods studied at the Winnipeg School of Art. During that time, he was a pupil of Lemoine Fitzgerald, the only prairie representative of Canada’s famed Group of Seven. Later, he turned his hand to sculpture, studying under Emanuel Hahn in Ontario before moving to British Columbia to re-open the sculpture department at the Vancouver School of Art — a position which he held until 1954. Mr. Woods also served as the institution’s art historian until 1969. It was that same year that, working alongside Marilyn and Keith Lamont, Peter Ewart and Linda Bickerton-Ross, Mr. Woods helped to create LCMS — developing it as a place where teachers and students could work together to benefit from an exchange of ideas, experience and musical ability. A true artist, he was a sculptor, musician, composer, teacher, poet and even an author — having published a book of essays reflecting on the paintings of his good friend, Langley artist Carl Hessay, in 2005. “He had a great mind,” said Mr. Woods’ good friend of 22 years, George Le Francois. LCMS principal Susan Magnusson, who remembers Mr. Woods as “a good friend to the school,” agrees. His eye for architectural beauty was well respected. When the new LCMS opened in City Park in 2001, Magnusson was thrilled with his reaction to the building’s design — which was intended to unite the indoor space with the beauty of the surrounding park in which it sits. “One of the kindest and most memorable things Leonard said to me when we opened the school (was) . . . ‘Oh, my. It just embraces you the minute you arrive,’” said Magnusson. “I had many discussions with Leonard about the importance of community within the school,” she said. “Rather than be a conservatory or an academy, it was very important to him to serve the community and (for the school) to be a community within itself.” Just as he was encouraged during his own youth
Preventing gang activity in BC ▾ MYTH: Gangs are only a “lower-class”, ethnic, or male problem: Reality: Gang members in B.C. come from every socio-economic background and all ethnicities. While racial, ethnic, and gender composition can vary by locality or type of gang, gangs are often as diverse as our communities and many do not restrict who joins as long as they can make money for the gang.
Con tributed ph oto
Artist, poet, author, teacher, composer and co-founder of Langley Community Music School, Leonard Woods has died at the age of 94. to embrace the arts, Mr. Woods believed it was important that the same opportunities be given to young people today. Speaking to The Times shortly before the music school was set to open 13 years ago, he said: “I feel we should enrich our school with fine art so young people will be surrounded by beautiful things. “There are hundreds of young people who’ve never seen an original piece of art,” he said at the time. “They’re not to blame. There have been none around.” In that spirit, Mr. Woods donated a number of the pieces of art which are on display in the building. “He was unique,” said Magnusson. “He wanted to ensure (LCMS) was a place where music was taught and art could be appreciated.” A memorial service for Mr. Woods will take place at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18 at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, 20955 Old Yale Rd. It will be followed by a reception at the Langley Community Music School. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Langley Community Music School will be gratefully accepted. The school’s mailing address is 4899 207 St. Langley, BC V3A 2E4.

Transitioning into autumn in the garden BY KERRY VITAL
Fall is a time of transition. A new season begins, the fall colours start to arrive and it’s time to consider what you want your garden to look like next year. “Fall is a great time to prune your shrubs and trees,” says Jeremy Miller, owner of Houston Landscapes. “You can rejuvenate your beds with manure, mulch and soil. It’s a good time for planting, potting and soil amendment.” Soil amendment is something added to soil to improve an element of it, such as drainage or water retention. You want to ensure that your soil will keep your plants fertilized and healthy throughout the winter. Fall is not usually the time for blooming flowers, but it is certainly the time for gorgeous foliage. “Enjoy the fall leaves; they’ll be beautiful,” says Miller. “It’s also a time to look at what you want in your yard. If you’re looking out the window now and you want to see those beautiful red leaves, now is the time to engage
with a landscape designer to discuss what you can do for next year.” Fall is the perfect time to plant larger trees and shrubs, as the increased moisture in the soil will contribute to a better growing environment for them. “There are a number of large trees that aren’t even available in the summer,” Miller says. “You can bulk up your garden in the fall.” Those fallen leaves also make for great mulch for your garden. “Rake up all of those leaves and put them on the garden beds,” Miller says. Winter vegetables such as kale and cauliflower are great things to plant now in preparation for the colder months. Herbs like sage and thyme are also good things to start planting in the fall. If you want to grow something from seeds, try carrots, lettuce or radishes. Now is also the time to plant bulbs to flower next year. Your local nursery will have plenty of options, from easy-togrow varieties that even the
FREE
worst gardener will be able to handle to flowers more suited to experienced green thumbs. Bulbs that you can plant right now include tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, among many others. However, you don’t necessarily have to wait until spring to see some blooms. Miller notes that winter pansies, for example, are able to withstand the colder weather, as their name states. Other potted plants that can create visual interest for fall include autumn crocuses and mums. Fall is also the time to plan ahead for when spring and summer return. If you spent the summer outside thinking about new paving stones or raised garden beds, start putting those plans into effect. “Now is the time to plan out projects for next year,” Miller says. “Don’t wait until next summer when contractors are... busy; plan your larger yard renovations now because reputable contractors will be planning their 2015 contracts now.”
Fall is a good time to do some pruning and maintenance of your trees and shrubs, in preparation for next year’s growing season. PHOTOS SUPPLIED BY HOUSTON LANDSCAPES

After a few months of blue skies and warm temperatures, summer revelers will soon bid adieu to the sultry days of this beloved season. Summer is often a season filled with vacations and recreation, but as the warm days dwindle and work and school commitments begin anew, there is additional work to be done in preparation for the months ahead. X Stock up on pool equipment. Homeowners who have pools can take advantage of end-of-season sales to purchase a few more gallons of pool chlorine or other pool equipment. Store them after you have winterized the pool, and you will be ahead of the game in terms of supplies for next year.
AIR CONDITIONING
•
X Clean patios and furniture. Scrub and hose down outdoor furniture, cushions and living areas. Clean and dry items before storing them for the winter, so everything is ready to go when the warm weather returns next year. X Check the heating system. Although turning on the heat may be the last thing you’re thinking about, it’s a good idea to test it and, if necessary, have the system serviced prior to the arrival of cold weather. X Tend to the deck and other repairs. Make repairs to outdoor structures now, and they’ll be more likely to survive the harsh weather that’s just over the horizon. Apply stain or sealant to further protect wood structures in advance of snow and ice.
I N S TA L L AT I O N
•
X Examine the roof and chimney. Winter is a poor time to learn you have missing roof shingles or a leak. Furthermore, ensure the chimney and venting to the outdoors is not obstructed by abandoned animal nests. X Check your closets. Go through clothing and remove any items that are damaged or no longer fit, donating them if possible. Clean out kids’ closets as well, as pants that fit perfectly in May will not necessarily fit come September. X Stock the shed. Once the weather has cooled down, move outdoor flower pots, hoses and lawn ornaments you no longer need into the shed or garage while ensuring items needed in fall and winter, such as rakes, snow shovels and snowblowers, are more accessible.

GVHBA to hold Fall Home Renovation Show next month By Kerry Vital If renovations are on your to-do list, you can’t miss the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Fall Home Renovation Show on Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Theatre in Coquitlam. Presented in partnership with the Better Business Bureau, the free show will focus on professional renovation information and education. The collaboration between the GVHBA and BBB aims to bring homeowners the largest one-stop source of Vancouver’s top professional builders and renovators. The show is completely devoted to renovations, and the popular Ask a Pro booth will be onsite and providing complimentary 30-minute one-on-one consultations to homeowners
looking for assistance. The consultations are first come, first serve and signup will take place at the show. Free 20-minute seminars are also scheduled throughout the show, covering topics such as Kitchen Design Trends, Renovating versus New Build, Heritage Renovations and Designing for Small Spaces, among many others. A full list of seminar topics and schedules will be posted online. “Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.” De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it extremely important to hire a professional RenoMark renova-
tor. “The RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industryleading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit. “As well, all RenoMark holders have committed themselves to a code of business ethics and offer warranties on the work they do, offering peace of mind to home owners that RenoMark professionals stand behind the work they do.” The event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged and attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For more information and to register, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288. The show will take place between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Oct. 4, and 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Oct. 5.

The Mayfair, a luxury home renovated by Teragon Developments and Construction, is located in Vancouver’s historic Shaughnessy neighbourhood. The renovation took two and a half years from start to finish, and includes an entirely new foundation, state-of-the art technology and plenty of beautiful features. Photos supplied by Teragon Developments and Construction
West Coast luxury by Teragon Developments A two-and-a-half-year renovation updated the home from 1928 with technology and features that would have never been imaginable when the house was originally built. By Kerry Vital Vancouver’s Shaughnessy neighbourhood is full of heritage-style homes nestled in lush greenery. Many of the homes take their inspiration from the history of the area, and one of Teragon Developments and Construction’s recent renovations is no exception. The home, which blends Tudor architecture with Art Deco, also offers modern amenities that no one would have imagined when the original home was built in 1928. “This was an intense renovation,” says Lars Van Linge, president of Teragon Developments, adding that it took place over two and a half years, and includes an entirely new foundation for the home to allow for an increase in ceiling height and usable space. The original home was the same size as the finished product (approximately 10,000 square feet), but was old and out of date. The family of four brought in Van Linge and his team to build a home that can truly be considered a luxury estate. Now known as The Mayfair, the home is seriously stunning. The curb appeal is incredible, with leaded windows, wood beams, brickwork and a travertine and natural stone walkway. Tudor arches are featured throughout,
including on the ceilings, fireplaces, doors and room entrances. “The homeowner generally left it to the designers and us,” Van Linge says. Teragon worked with architect Stefan Weidemann to design the four-level home, which also features a three-car garage, botanical garden, a pool-side cabana and a private putting green, among other amenities. A wood-fired pizza oven is just one feature of the outdoor kitchen. Inside, the home is one of the most technologically advanced in North America. In fact, it won an award for Best Overall Integrated Home from the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA). “This home has everything,” says Van Linge. “It can be controlled anywhere in the world.” Integrated audio and visual systems are throughout, including outdoors. The lighting for inside and outside the house is so state-of-the-art that it required its own architect. “We installed very advanced lighting for the owner’s art collection,” Van Linge says. “His collection is worth about $4 million; he has original works by Emily Carr, for example.” To protect the artwork, the home has a built-in humidification system that will keep everything at the optimal temperature, along with multi-zone climate control. You enter through the formal entry on the main level, with its formal living room, study, formal dining room, kitchen and casual dining room and living room. There you have access to the outdoor dining terrace and covered lounge.

The Mayfair an entertainer’s paradise, with a games room, theatre and wine cellar “ from page 19 The level above is a private haven with three bedrooms. The master bedroom has its own dressing room and luxurious ensuite. The top level has another bedroom, as well as a sitting room, library, play room and laundry room. Teragon also expanded the basement of the home, from half crawl space and half basement to a basement with 10-foot ceilings throughout. That basement now holds a games room, home theatre, wine cellar and gym, making the home an entertainer’s paradise. The home has plenty of heritage-style touches, such as walnut panelling and flooring laid in a herringbone pattern. The bronzed railing on the sweeping staircase was inspired by an art noveau railing from Brussels, Belgium, and was handforged. Custom millwork, five fireplaces, custom stained glass and natural stone elements are just a few of the other luxurious aspects of The Mayfair. Van Linge himself is a journeyman carpenter, noting that he enjoys bringing those old-fashioned elements to his work. “Something that sets us apart is our eye for detail,” he says. “You can’t execute these kinds of ideas without being able to see the (small) details.” The renovations were completed last year and the owner has since sold the home, but Van Linge and his team are still involved with the new owners, assisting them with the operations of the house. “We’re still working with them to maintain and service the exterior paint and the HVAC system, for example,” says Van Linge. For more information about The Mayfair and Teragon Developments, visit www.teragon.ca.
The original home, above, was built in 1928 and required an upgrade. Among the new features are a home theatre, below left, a hand-forged bronzed railing on the staircase, left, and a gourmet-quality kitchen, below. Photos supplied by Teragon Developments and Construction

Make your renovation wish list affordable with rebates It was Saturday morning, and my husband and I were ready to tackle various home renovation projects. We walked around our charming, 1903 Vancouver home and wrote down all of the areas that needed work. We decided on practical upgrades that would make the home healthier and more comfortable to live in including insulation in our attic and those upgrades that would create a more modern, aesthetically pleasing, and user-friendly home such as a new fireplace. Next, we finalized our list of home upgrades that we wanted to complete. Unfortunately, we encountered a rather large hiccup – we had a tight budget of $X, and a wish list total of $X x 10. Does this scenario sound familiar? Deciding on what upgrades are the priority is often one of the most difficult decisions to make when
starting home renovations, especially when there is a budget to work within. A recommended strategy was to first focus on the areas that would make our home healthier and more comfortable to live in, such as draftproofing and ventilation. These upgrades could also make the home more energy efficient, and save us a considerable amount of money year after year in home energy expenses. For example, heating accounts for approximately 50 per cent of an average household’s energy consumption. Therefore, any upgrades to our home’s insulation and building envelope could reduce our heating bills. As well, an ENERGY STAR® bathroom fan not only helps to maintain proper humidity and air quality, but also uses less than half the energy of a regular fan. Additionally, high and mid-efficiency
Tuesday, September 16, 2014 21 gas furnaces use about 60 to 90 per cent less energy by turning down the heat when not needed. Overall, a home that has an EnerGuide rating of 80 or higher, which indicates that it is an energy efficient Power Smart home, uses up to 30 per cent less energy than an average home on the market. If you are thinking about moving forward on some home upgrades of your own and need an incentive to get started, here you go - complete your upgrades before March 31, 2015, and you can apply for rebates

Remodeling insurance can protect homeowner TIMES CONTRIBUTOR
Many steps are involved in a successful home remodeling project. Consult with a homeowners’ insurance agent before beginning a major home overhaul. The right amount of coverage will protect your assets both during construction and afterward when your home is worth more. Many insurance companies require you to insure your home for at least 80 percent of its replacement value. If you have added an extension or installed an in ground pool, you may

This way you can request a new appraisal of the property and secure adequate insurance coverage. Certain improvements may make you eligible for discounts. For example, a new heating system, energy efficient appliances or an alarm system may qualify you for rebates or lower premiums. It is essential to consider insurance needs before you begin work and when the project has been completed and the value of the home has increased.

While many contractors have business and general liability insurance to protect themselves if a worker is injured, homeowners may need sufficient liability protection in the event a non-contractor gets hurt working on your home.

Athletes ‘an inspiration’ G a ry A h u ja, Ti m e s R e p o r t e r
Among the more than 3,800 athletes taking part in the opening ceremonies for the B.C. Seniors Games, there were three athletes who competed 27 years ago at the very first Games. “Talk about inspiring,” said Coralee Oakes, the minister of community, sport and cultural development. She was speaking at the Langley Events Centre last week (Sept. 10), site of the opening ceremonies for the 2014 B.C. Seniors Games, which are being hosted by Langley. The first Games drew 650 athletes, while a record-number of athletes will go for the gold in Langley. “You are all champions of health, fitness and community engagement.” The Games began earlier that day and ran until Saturday afternoon. The torch was brought in by Langley Christian student Nicholas Colyn, an accomplished track and field athlete. Colyn handed the torch to Oakes and Langley’s David Esworthy, a member of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame

and renowned figure in equestrian circles, not just locally, but internationally. The athletes were welcomed by Kwantlen First Nations’ Kevin Kelly, as well as his 17-yearold son Michael, “Age is just a number and an active lifestyle knows no boundaries,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese. “I can’t tell you how amazed I am at all the athletes,” said Ted Schaffer, the Acting Mayor for the CIty. “They put me to shame.” The Games could not
be possible without the work of the nearly 1,400 volunteers. “I did the math. These people have worked tens of thousands of hours to put these Games together,” said Milt Kruger, the president of the 2014 B.C. Seniors Games. “(Volunteers) get two things: a shirt, which is worth $6 and your appreciation, and that is priceless.” “Each year I am totally impressed, proud and amazed at the volunteers that are part of producing the Games,”
added June Parsons, the president of the B.C. Seniors Games society. The entertainment for the opening ceremonies was organized by Susan Magnusson. The evening featured the music of the Bergmann Piano Duo — Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann — and they were joined on stage by Dominik Heins. The evening also featured the Langley Ukulele Ensemble and the Jitterbug Junkies, as well as some comedy.
With the help of the Langley athletes, the Fraser Valley ran away with top spot in the overall medal count at the B.C. Seniors Games last week. Local athletes from Langley, Fort Langley and Aldergrove helped the Fraser Valley zone win 621 medals. The athletes won 231 gold, 222 silver and 168 bronze. The next closest zone was the Lower Mainland, which finished with 447 total medals. INDIVIDUAL MEDALS: Swimming Ayoe Conradsen (women’s 70-74) — silver 100m backstroke, 25m backstroke and bronze 25m breaststroke). Peter Wilson (men’s 70-74) — bronze 800m freestyle.

If your answer is “Yes” then you may have Tinnitus and it is time to have your hearing assessed. Tinnitus (pronounced tih-NITE-us) is a ringing, buzzing, roaring, ticking, hissing, clicking or any other variety of sound heard by the individual, but not cause by an outside source. Tinnitus can occur after taking certain over the counter medications, being a loud concert or sitting through an exciting hockey game (Sorry hockey fans)!! According to the American Tinnitus Association there are over 50 million people that suffer from tinnitus. How loud can tinnitus be you ask? Well that depends on several factors including stress, diet and noise exposure. Tinnitus, like chronic pain, is subjective. Similar characteristics may be reported yet individuals who suffer from tinnitus may be affected in a completely different manner. Many people who suffer from tinnitus report having difficulty sleeping, concentrating, hearing and many report various degrees of depression.
So what causes tinnitus? The American Tinnitus Association reports that the exact physiological cause or causes of tinnitus are not known. Well that’s not really helpful is it!! Although anyone can get tinnitus, what we do know is that there are several sources that are known to trigger and possibly worsen tinnitus – one of the main culprits is age-related hearing loss. What do you do now? According to the Better Hearing Institute your first step is getting your hearing thoroughly evaluated to determine if a hearing loss is present. This will give us ideas in determining how to treat the tinnitus appropriately and what will be the most effective solution to your individual needs. Since tinnitus can be associated with a number of auditory conditions the hearing assessment can provide you with extensive information.

Laughing in the face of depression LOL FOR LIFE, A FUNDRAISER FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION, GOES SEPT. 26 The Aug. 11 suicide of comedian Robin Williams left fans across the world in a state of shock. If someone as successful and beloved as the legendary funny man found life too much to bear, where did that leave the rest of us? But a Langley man is hoping that by filling a theatre with laughter, others will be able to find the support they need. The Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley at the Langley Fine Arts School presents a night of comedy in support of Suicide Prevention, Education and Counselling (SPEAC). Created by the theatre’s manager, Kevin Statham, “LOL For Life” will feature some of Vancouver’s funniest comedians, including Patrick Maliha, Sunee Dhaliwal, John Beuhler, Jamie Hutchinson, Kwasi Thomas, and Katie-Ellen Humphries. “I just knew I needed to contribute in some way,” said Statham. “When Robin Williams passed away a few weeks ago, I saw a lot of people voicing their sadness through social media. I did that as well, but I wanted to do something more than post a photo on Facebook with a sad emoticon. “In that moment, I decided to create something that will hopefully have a positive effect on a local level.” The Suicide Prevention Education and Counselling (SPEAC) program
is a program of Options Community Services — a large multi-service non-profit organization based in Surrey, which serves Surrey, White Rock, and Langley children and youth. The SPEAC program provides suicide risk assessment, urgent response, and short-term counselling for children and youth. “We are very thankful to be involved in this event,” SPEAC’s senior program manager, Nancy Orlikow. “It helps to promote and spread awareness of the significant need for more resources for our children and youth in our communities who are affected by or are at risk for suicide. “It is very important that people understand the scope of the need, but also that prevention of suicide is entirely possible and that programs like ours do save lives.” “LOL for Life takes place on Friday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale for $20 at northerntickets.com. They will also be available at the door. Proceeds will go to SPEAC. Advance tickets are available online at northerntickets.com or at the venue the night of the performance. Chief Sepass Theatre is located at 9096 Trattle St. “LOL For Life” will take place on Friday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. For more information on SPEAC, visit www.options. bc.ca.
Sunee Dhaliwal is among the lineup of comedians gathered by Chief Sepass Theatre manager Kevin Statham, for LOL for Life. The comedy show, which takes place at the Fort Langley theatre on Friday, Sept. 26, is a fundraiser for Suicide Prevention, Education and Counselling (SPEAC), a program run by Options Community Services.

Second World War exhibit on display until Nov. 11 The Langley Centennial Museum’s newest exhibit, Mementos & Memories: Langley & the Second World War tells the story of the War through the experiences of Langley people. Through artifacts and firsthand accounts of service overseas and service on the home front, the exhibit tackles subjects such as fundraising efforts at home, enlistment, and internment. The museum’s Mementos & Memories opened on Aug. 17 and runs until Remem-
brance Day, Nov. 11, at 9135 King St. in Fort Langley.

Connect celebrates 20 years in Langley BRAIN INJURY AND STROKE RECOVERY CENTRE HOSTIN G O PEN HO USE ON SEPT. 19 B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
It’s a pleasantly bucolic, but otherwise unremarkable, property comprised of a few single-storey buildings scattered about a small Willoughby acreage. With two houses — as well as some office and therapy space — surrounded by small flower gardens, lawns and trees, there is nothing to identify Connect as anything but a residential property to the casual passerby. Nothing to indicate that the site has, for the past two decades, been home to one of two brain injury rehabilitation centres of its kind in B.C. And that, says its president and COO, Patti Flaherty, is entirely the point. Connect Langley is actually comprised of five houses. Two are located on the same Willoughby property as its administrative offices, another sits just a few blocks away and there are two more toward the south end of town, with a total of 29 bedrooms available for people recovering from traumatic brain injuries and strokes. A second location, which opened five years ago at a single location in Lake Country in the Okanagan, meanwhile, is made up of townhouse-style residences, with space for 42 people. What both properties have in common is that they are designed to function as much like typical homes — and as little like a hospital — as possible for the people who reside in them during their recovery. Built around community and relationships, Connect “is not the typical rehab environment,” said Flaherty. But it is filling an important gap, she added. “There is a lack of services and supports in B.C. to help (people with brain injury) be in the world, contribute to the community and have awesome lives.” Connect’s team of ‘coaches’ helps residents focus on their passions, strengths and abilities, and to design a new life around these attributes. Acquired brain injury is the biggest dis-

the everyday activities they enjoyed before their injury or stroke. Since the ultimate goal of Connect is to prepare people to live in the community — either on their own or with some level of support — rather than end up being, for all intents and purposes, ‘warehoused’ in long-term care, it is a model that will save money in the long run, noted Flaherty. A private company, Connect receives much of its funding through agencies such as Fraser Health Authority and WorkSafe B.C. The Okanagan location of Connect recently signed a 20-year contract with the Interior Health Authority which has allowed to hire a full complement of coaching staff. Flaherty would like to see a similar arrangement made with Fraser Health at the Langley location, which currently works, for the most part, on a case-by-case basis with FHA. There is “definitely a need” to expand, she said. According to information gathered by Connect, an estimated 22,000 British Columbians acquire brain injuries each year and as many as 160,000 people live with the impact of brain injury at any time in the province. On Sept. 19, Connect will celebrate 20 years in Langley — as well as its five years in Lake Country — with a garden party and luncheon at each location. The two parties will connect via Skype for short speeches and to exchange a greeting. The event will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Everyone is invited to come out and learn more about the Connect model of care. “We feel ethically obligated to share it because we know it’s the right thing to do,” said Flaherty. “It allows families to be families, and not just caregivers.” Connect is at 20445 73A Ave. To learn more, visit connectcommunities.ca

We want your old, obsolete electronics. By Craig Wisehart Executive Director Electronic Products Recycling Association Western Canada
s days grow shorter and nights grow colder, we’ll all be spending more time indoors. It’s the perfect time to clean out the clutter and get rid of old unused items that are just sitting and collecting dust, such as old electronics. Research shows that roughly 87 per cent of BC households have at least one obsolete electronic item sitting around. A good idea is to try and get these electronic items reused by people who are in need of them. And if that option is exhausted, recycling these electronics is the next best option. The Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) will recycle all those old unwanted electronics through the Return-It Electronics™ program, and they accept virtually all of your unwanted end-of-life electronics. From televisions, desktop and portable computers, gaming systems, electronic musical instruments and electronic toys such as remote control vehicles and handheld gaming devices, the 171 Return-It™ collection sites throughout BC will take these unwanted electronics for responsible recycling. Dropoff is free as an Environmental Handling Fee (EHF), which covers the cost of recycling, is applied on the sale of new electronic products.

Roughly 87 per cent of BC households have at least one obsolete electronic item sitting around. (For a full list of accepted products, visit return-it.ca/electronics/products). Once collected and sorted, items are sent to audited and approved recycling facilities throughout North America where they are broken down. Products like batteries and mercury lamps, which require special processing to recover materials, are removed. The remaining products are separated into their individual components for recovery. Through a variety of refining and smelting processes, the materials reclaimed from unwanted electronics, such as metals, glass, and plastics, are used as raw
EPRA accepts virtually all of your unwanted electronics. materials in the manufacturing of new products. In this era of rapidly advancing technologies, people are upgrading and replacing electronics at an accelerated rate, with personal computers being replaced on average every two years, and businesses replacing desktop and mobile computers every three to four years. Using and enjoying all of these electronics today means that it is very important to ensure your old electronics stay out of the landfill for a cleaner tomorrow. The EPRA is a national non-profit organization dedicated to responsible recycling of end-of-life electronics. In 2013, more than 23,000 tonnes of electronic waste were collected in BC, and since EPRA’s program began in 2007, over 110,000 metric tonnes of unwanted electronics have been recycled in BC. And, according to EPR Canada, BC has consistently received top ranking in their annual Canadian Report Card on Extended Producer Responsibility, whereby producers take a leadership role in managing the waste generated from their products. We can be proud in BC of our strong history of electronics recycling. The more we recycle, the more we can help the environment by reducing the amount of waste collecting in landfills. So take this opportunity, and drop off your old and unwanted electronics at your nearest Return-It collection site for recycling. ADVERTORIAL

More than 3,800 athletes from around the province took part in the B.C. Seniors Games in Langley last week. The athletes were competing in 25 different sports over the competition’s four days. Clockwise from above: Mission’s Nancy Loucks takes aim at the target during the women’s 65-69 archery competition at City Park; Members of the Heart of the Fraser mixed Dragon boat team were in the lead during the Thursday morning time trials on the Bedford Channel; Yarrow’s Neil Reeder competes in the men’s 65-69 swimming competition at the Walnut Grove Recreation Centre; Surrey’s Harjinder Kang competes in the men’s 60-64 relay event at McLeod Athletic Park; and Vancouver’s Daryl Dreger takes part in the men’s 55-59 cycling event which began and ended at the Fort Langley Golf Course.
Record number compete at Games Four days of action came to a close on Saturday afternoon as the 2014 Langley B.C. Seniors Games wrapped up. More than 3,800 athletes — a record number — took part in the annual competition, which sees athletes ages 55 and up compete in 25 sports. The Games would also not have been possible without the support of volunteers as close to 1,200 peo-
ple helped out over the course of the competition. And the local athletes from Langley, Fort Langley and Aldergrove helped their zone, Zone 3 Fraser
Valley, run away with the medal count title. Zone 3 athletes won 231 gold, 222 silver and 168 bronze. And their combined 621 medals were well ahead of the sec-
ond-place finishers, the Lower Mainland zone, which won 447 total medals. For a complete list of local medal winners — and for more coverage on the com-

Knights corral Outlaws, burned by Flames One night after scoring seven goals in victory, the Langley Knights mustered just a pair their next time out, falling 7-2 to the Ridge Meadows Flames. The Knights had opened the Pacific Junior Hockey League season with a 7-4 win over the Mission City Outlaws on Sept. 11 at the George Preston Rec-
reation Centre. But on the road the next night at Maple Ridge’s Planet Ice, Langley’s offence went dry over the final 40 minutes while the Flames scored once in the second and four more times in the third. A big difference was the power play as Ridge Meadows went 5-for-9 while the Knights were
1-for-6. Levi De Waal and Dylan McCann had the Langley goals. De Waal also had two goals and an assist the game before in the victory. Colin Catchpole also had two goals and an assist in the game against the Outlaws. The Knights are back in action on Thursday

Spartans remain unbeaten The Trinity Western Spartans remembered to pack their offence with them. The women’s soccer team was in Kamloops and Kelowna, scoring a combined eight goals as they picked up another pair of victories in Canada West conference play. The Spartans scored five times in the second half to rout the UBC Okanagan Heat 5-1 on Saturday. They beat the Thompson Rivers WolfPack 3-1 the previous day. Seina Kashima and Jessica King scored twice apiece against the Heat while Leanne Verhoeff had the other. King, who also scored the game before, has now notched the winner in all three Spartan victories as the team improved to 3-0-1. TWU coach Graham Roxburgh was pleased his team put behind a lackluster scoreless first half to play to their capabilities. “In the second half, we challenged them to start fresh and I thought our response was excel-
lent,” he said. “Overall, I am pleased we came away from the weekend with two wins. Vanessa Kovacs continued to lead us in the midfield and Jess King continues on a roll. “But there were some good contributions from a number of players who haven’t played as many minutes, so that was encouraging.” The only goal to elude Christina Oliverio came off the foot of Courtney Hemmerling in the 78th minute, with the Spartans up 3-0. Oliverio finished with six saves. Against the WolfPack, Kashima and King scored in the first half and after Marlie Rittinger made it 2-1 in the 68th minute, Jenna Di Nunzio added an insurance marker seven minutes later. Oliverio made two saves. ••• The TWU Spartans men’s team was on the same road trip, but without the same results. The team played Thompson Rivers to a scoreless draw on Fri-

day and then lost 2-1 to the UBC Okanagan Heat the next night. The Spartans are 1-2-1 on the season. “The goal drought continues and the guys will be utterly disappointed with that result,” said Spartans coach Pat Rohla. “We thought we had a very good first half of play, but we have to find a way to put teams away early in the game. “The guys left everything out on the field tonight. I’m proud of the effort, but we’re still missing critical moment plays to either wins games or keep balls out of our net. Now, we need to get back on the horse and ride as fast as we can to the finish line.” Kalem Scott had put TWU ahead 1-0 with a goal in the 30th minute, but the Heat’s Cole Kingzett tied it up in first half injury time and Jordan Leib scored the winner in the 55th minute. Evan Lowther made five saves in the loss. He also stopped all six shots the game before against the WolfPack.
