The competition was won by Langley grower, Scott Carley, whose pumpkin weighed in at a whopping 1,411 pounds. Carley also took top spot at a Sept. 26 contest in Skagit Valley, Wash. Story on page 7.

Accused killer is son of police officers Three young men charged in death of Walnut Grove teenager, Nicholas Hannon, made a court appearance on Monday M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
The three young men charged with first-degree murder in the death of Walnut Grove teen Nicholas Hannon made a brief court appearance on Monday. One of the accused, 21-year-old Connor Campbell, has gained media attention after it was learned that both his parents are members of the RCMP. Campbell’s mother is Cpl. Catherine Galliford, who was the RCMP spokesperson
during several high-profile cases, including the Robert Pickton investigation and Air India. She left her position and currently is involved in a lawsuit against the RCMP. She is suing for sexual harassment. The accused’s father, Darren Campbell, is a high-ranking Sgt. Major with the RCMP. The three accused include Campbell, Bradley Michael Flaherty, 20, and Keith William Tankard, 20. They are scheduled to appear for a bail hearing on Nov. 4.
The three, all friends who were close with the victim and spent time at his family home, were arrested over the Labour Day weekend and have been in jail since. Hannon’s body was found in a wooded area of Mission by police that same weekend. Investigators believe Hannon died as a result of a conflict that “turned violent, and ultimately deadly,” said IHIT Sgt. Jennifer Pound. The victim’s father, Craig Hannon, said the three accused had been welcomed into
the family home on many occasions. He spoke to them after his son’s disappearance and they said they knew nothing, Hannon told the media. Nicholas was last seen by his younger brother at the family’s Walnut Grove home the evening of Feb. 26, 2014. The next day, his abandoned vehicle was found in the 10400 block of McKinnon Crescent at Derby Reach Park. A memorial service was held for Hannon last weekend.

Man struck by vehicle stepped into its path, say witnesses
Victim is in critical but stable condition after incident in Murrayville neighbourhood Sunday night M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
A Langley man is in critical but stable condition after being hit by a car in Murrayville on Sunday night. Langley RCMP believe the man had been drinking that evening when he stepped into the street — and into the path of an oncoming car — around midnight. Police said he was walking with his girlfriend at 216 Street and 44 Avenue when he was hit.

The driver of the vehicle wouldn’t have seen him or had a chance to brake, said police. “We don’t believe speed was involved, and the driver wouldn’t have seen this coming,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Ali Mirza. The driver stayed on scene and co-operated with police. Witnesses confirmed that the man had stepped into the street in front of the oncoming car. When emergency crews arrived on scene, the female witness initially thought the vic-
tim was dead, said police. Damage to the vehicle’s hood, windshield and roof are extensive. “He was rushed to Royal Columbian with major trauma to the body and was put in an induced coma,” said Mirza. “The victim’s prognosis has improved and it was believed he was going into surgery to repair some of his fractures.” The Integrated Collision Investigation Team along with Langley RCMP traffic division continue to investigate.
An Aldergrove home was the scene of an arson on Sunday morning, said police. Around 4 a.m., a passerby called 911 after seeing the side of a home on fire in the 2500 block of 272 Street. “When we arrived the siding was burning,” said Township assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson. “Our axes and fire hoses woke up the people inside.” Langley RCMP have been investigating and said there isn’t reason for alarm after the suspicious fire. “This wasn’t a random act, it was targeted to this home,” said Cpl. Ali Mirza. Police have their sights on two males as possible suspects in the blaze. The investigation is active and ongoing, said Mirza. The residents of the home, who managed to escape without injury, told police they don’t know anyone who would target them. Around $10,000 damage was done to the home. Fire investigators had taped off the house and were investigating Sunday. Police are still hoping to speak to anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in and around the time of the fire. Anyone with information that could help police is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Choice program changes may be in works MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Some big changes are being proposed for who can get into choice programs in Langley schools and how they can do that. Parents’ practice of registering unborn children for choice programs and some families registering for several schools at once, with the hope of getting into one, has overwhelmed the system, leading to long waitlists and upset parents, said Langley assistant superintendent Claire Guy. “Especially with French immersion and fundamental we have heard concerns about access and long waiting lists,� said Guy, at the most recent board of education meeting. In the past, parents would camp outside of Langley Fundamental for days to get their child into the program. The district moved registration online to eliminate the campouts about three years ago. “The current process is extremely labour intensive and antiquated,� said Guy of the application and registration procedures. The district is asking the board to vote in favour of some proposed changes, including eliminating the ability to register unborn children. Under the new policy, which hasn’t been reviewed since 2001, parents will be limited to applying to two choice programs and would only be allowed to apply 11 months in advance of their child entering school. However, applications to some schools, including Langley Fine Arts can take place two years prior. Once the child is accepted into a choice program, the parents have 48 hours to accept the placement. Langley residents will have first pick with Langley siblings being given first priority to get in but not if the siblings live out of district, said Guy. If you are already on a waitlist, you won’t be bumped off, she said. Living beside a choice program school wouldn’t give a student priority over any other district student. Comments about the changes can be sent to lmason@sd35.bc.ca. The board will vote on the proposed changes at its December meeting.

It was a rough summer for Tammy Rose’s 298pound pumpkin, which shared a field in South Langley with four hungry horses and a goat. Rose came 13th out of 15 entries in the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off at Krause Berry Farms on Saturday.
M IRA NDA GATHER COLE Times Reporter
Tammy Rose may not have had the prettiest pumpkin at the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off competition at Krause Berry Farm on Saturday, but its scars sparked curiosity from both judges and spectators. Large grooves covered the top and sides of the 298-pound pumpkin, thanks to its summertime neighbours — four horses and a goat. The animals spent the entire season trying to chomp down on the giant gourd, which Rose admits she largely “forgot about” in the South Langley field. The contest marked her first attempt at giant pumpkin growing — she placed 13th out of 15 entries from across the Pacific Northwest. Langley’s own Scott Carley won the competition with a giant pumpkin weighing 1,411 pounds. This is the second win in a couple weeks for Carley, a giant pumpkin hobbyist with his own website, www.giant pumpkinsbc.com. On Sep 26, Carley’s giant pumpkin weighed in at 1,427.5 pounds and placed first out of 20 entries in Skagit Valley, Wash. He was close to the site record of 1,450 pounds and is heading to the U.S. again next week in hopes of breaking that world record. Carley has been growing wheat and canola commercially on his farm in Manitoba for 20 years before moving to Langley and taking up the hobby of growing giant gourds. – with files from Monique Tamminga
City throws support behind José, as Langley man marks two years in sanctuary M IRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Tim e s Re po r t e r
“I am not a terrorist.” Those are the first words spoken by José Figueroa in a new video plea to end his deportation warrant. Oct. 4 marked two years since Figueroa took refuge inside the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church after the Canadian Border Service Agency ordered him back to El Salvador. “I have been here in Canada for more than 18 years, have a family, my kids are Canadians, and all of the situation that has been evolving with the family really doesn’t make any sense,” he said in the video titled “Never Home: ‘I am not a terrorist,’” which was posted on YouTube on Aug. 29. “I call myself a Canadian because I have been here long enough in order to clearly say I am a Canadian,” he said. The warrant is based on Figueroa’s affiliation with the FMLN party during El Salvador’s civil war, and would force him to leave his wife and three Canadian-born children in Canada. Last year, a federal court judge ruled his deportation decision should be re-reviewed by a different immigration agent in Ottawa, but with no timeline provided, Figueroa is still waiting to hear when his case will be looked at again. Now, Langley City council wants to help bring his video to national attention. Both MP Mark Warawa and Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be receiving the video, a decision council made after Figueroa’s neighbour Gillian Dyck showed council the YouTube clip at its Sept. 28 meeting. Dyck was joined at the meeting by Figueroa’s
wife and children and nearly two dozen supporters, who sat in the council audience holding red and white “Support! We are Jose” signs. “Some people might argue that it’s not the responsibility of the local government to be involved in this largely federal affair,” said councillor Dave Hall. “But quite frankly, I think that we need to, JOSÉ as an elected official, FIGU ERO A step up sometimes and represent the citizens and the residents of their own community. So I would suggest that ‘we are Jose,’ we have a responsibility to bring this to the attention of the federal government.” Hall also made a motion to officially support the appeal of Figueroa to the minister of public safety and emergency preparedness and ask him to direct the CBSA to cancel the arrest warrant and allow Figueroa to be reunited with his family. “I can’t find the right words for what the Figueroa family must be going though,” said councillor Paul Albrecht. “Eighteen years here in Canada. To be put into this position is completely unfair, unjustified, and from a social justice perspective, is dead wrong. “My heart goes out to the Figueroa family and something needs to happen here.” Hall’s motion passed unanimously.

It’s now been two years for José Figueroa. That’s two years of watching his three children grow up in snippets during weekend visits. Two years of not being able to work to support his family, as he had been doing for the previous decade and a half. Two years of worrying that he will be separated from his wife and children, should the courts uphold an order to send him back to his native El Salvador. Two years of staring at the same walls — with no opportunity to step outside those walls for a breath of fresh air. To avoid deportation, the Langley man essentially sentenced himself to an indefinite prison term when he sought sanctuary inside Walnut Grove Lutheran Church on Oct. 4, 2013. As that church community has continued to support him, both physically and spiritually, Figueroa’s circle of backers has continued to grow, both within Langley and beyond its borders. Public support in the form of the We Are José campaign, sprang up even before an arrest warrant sent Figueroa into hiding. Langley MP Mark Warawa has also spoken out in support of José. And on Sept. 28, Langley City council stepped outside its regular duties to take a stand on the issue, officially supporting Figueroa’s appeal to the minister of public safety and emergency preparedness and asking him to direct the CBSA to cancel Figueroa’s arrest warrant. All of that support should cause the CBSA to reflect on its motives. What is to be gained by labeling a productive member of society a terrorist, based on a peripheral involvement with an organization that fought to overthrow a violent dictatorship — an organization that now forms the recognized government of El Salvador. It’s time for the CBSA to stop dragging its heels and admit that, in this case, a mistake has been made. While it’s unlikely anything can or will be done to resolve the issue before Thanksgiving, perhaps for the first time in two years, José could be home for Christmas.

Question
of the week
Do you plan to attend this weekend’s Cranberry Festival in Fort Langley?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
No ‘right’ in actions they
Two weekends ago, someone placed a hose in the attic of a home in Bradner, and turned on the water. The flood caused the ceiling to collapse, resulting in what could cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair. It’s an act of mischief — illegal and punishable under the Criminal Code of Canada. Under virtually any circumstance, such action wouldn’t be considered by otherwise law-abiding citizens, and to do so would be widely decried and condemned. However, because this is the current home of a convicted child sex offender, some people actually think the act was justified in an effort to drive him out. They are wrong; just as wrong as the misguided person(s) who think a criminal act is a justifiable means to an end. This is vigilantism, pure and simple. It cannot be condoned or supported. Yes, parents in the area are fearful and resentful of James Conway’s presence among their children. That is entirely understandable. They are correct in their assertion that laws need to be changed. Child sex offenders should not be allowed to live in the close proximity of kids. Abbotsford’s mayor agrees, and city hall is taking measures to move Conway out on the basis that the home is not zoned correctly for the purpose of housing released inmates. That process may take time, and it will take much longer to pressure lawmakers into changing the existing system. Yet, that is how a lawful, democratic society must operate. When individuals start to take the law into their own hands, and decide who has rights and who does not — regardless of their motivation — it undermines the foundation of the order, safety and security of all. — Abbotsford News

Rapid bus, SkyTrain still Langley’s best option Editor: Re: LRT announcement ignores less costly interurban option (The Times, Oct. 2) We should welcome good transit ideas here in Langley, but there’s a reason that TramTrain isn’t one of them. TramTrain was possible in Karlsruhe because it’s surrounded by numerous electrified regional railways. We don’t actually have that here in Vancouver; and while the BCER Interurban may seem like a tempting choice, it ran three times a day and wasn’t built to service today’s cities. When the province and TransLink conducted the Surrey Rapid Transit Study, the Interurban was denied because it would cost millions to retrofit yet still fall short on providing useful connections and service frequency. In other words, it would be a giant waste of money. What we do have are numerous fast highways on which we could operate inexpensive rapid buses. One of those, the Trans-Canada, now has the Fraser Valley Express (FVX) service from Carvolth Exchange to Chilliwack. This service is now providing the alternative that valley commuters asked for — but when it came time to consult locals about the FVX, Rail for the Valley did not participate.
That’s because Rail for the Valley’s TramTrain and LRT advocacy doesn’t come from a genuine desire to make transit better — but rather an opposition to extending SkyTrain to Langley, even though it will do the most for transit commuters. Our SkyTrain system boasts a ridership that is higher than any LRT system in Canada and the US. That’s why over 50 cities worldwide have followed our lead by successfully employing ALRT-style driverless metros. As an extension of an existing system, SkyTrain would have the lowest addition in annual operating costs. Without transfers, commuters starting at Langley Centre Station could reach Waterfront Station within 60 minutes. That’s the kind of travel time improvement that’ll get people really wanting to use public transit, and generate the fare revenue to recoup costs. I’m all for good transit ideas; but when it comes to what will objectively serve Surrey and Langley best, rapid buses and SkyTrain are the way to go. DARYL DELA CRUZ,
E VA N S E A L B lack Pre s s
Daryl Dela Cruz, campaign manager of skytrainforsurrey.org, says a previous writer’s argument for a less expensive TramTrain fails to take into consideration a number of SKYTRAINFORSURREY.ORG factors and says such a system would, in fact, be ‘a giant waste of money.’ CAMPAIGN MANAGER
Young men should stay in Newcomers contribute their country and fight to fabric of our society
Editor: For days now I have been watching the TV news with shock. I am amazed at the scenes of thousands of people storming and breaking through Europe’s borders. Demanding and angry, they expect entry. Most of the people you see pushing through Europe’s borders are young men, who should be staying in their own countries to help fight for their country — not leaving it. Obviously, they do not have the back bone to fight for their own country. When they get to the West will they join our army to help fight — like the French, Dutch, Belgians and Polish did in the Second World War? No, they expect the West
to fight for them. When and if the West does fight, they will call us infidels and hate us. How do we know who these young men are? Are they sent by ISIS? The immigrants from these countries who can afford to spend money on boats, train rides, trucks and bus rides to the European borders are the middle class who should be staying in their country to try to solve its problems. If they all come, they will send for all their family. They will change our country’s infrastructures, our social services, overwhelm our health care, police and laws. I am not a raging redneck. I am a grandmother. I think I am a fairly mod-
erate and broad-minded person. I try to see both sides of a problem. I am compassionate and caring about the needs of others. I read about and think about the world’s problems and I care. I believe in humanitarian aid and helping our fellow man but we cannot accept them all into our countries. We should try to help these people within their own counties with compassion, food, medicine, shelter and/or what other help we can supply. If we have to take some of these immigrants we should be careful and perform due diligence with their applications. R. GOSSE, LANGLEY
Editor: In the debate about accepting more newcomers to Canada, there is some solid evidence to demonstrate that immigrants contribute more than they receive, that they enrich us, and that in the end we all benefit from their hard work and dedication to freedom and human rights — something which for many newcomers was sorely missing from their country of birth. Studies in both the United States and Canada have shown that job creation increases and the economy improves as the number of immigrants swells. Our current government has rejected calls to resettle more than their original targets of Syrian refugees, which flies in the face of both our historical practice of taking in people experiencing mass crisis, and also rejects what we know to be the long-term benefits that immigrants and refugees bring when we welcome and support them to integrate into Canadian society. Canada used to rank as the fifth largest
refugee-receiving country in 2000, now down to 15th on the list today. We can do better. As an organization that helps immigrants and refugees to settle and integrate by helping parents get their children ready to succeed in the Canadian school system, HIPPY Canada sees first-hand the incredible contributions made by newcomers. And the children of immigrants do even better, with 55 per cent attending university, compared to 38 per cent of non-immigrant Canadians. HIPPY Canada is organizing a conference in November in Vancouver, to bring attention to the crucial role that immigrant and refugee mothers play in supporting their children to succeed in Canada. I invite everyone to join us and contribute to this important conversation by checking out our webpage at hippycanada.ca/ and click on “conference”. DEBBIE BELL PRESIDENT, HIPPY CANADA

Financial pressures top of mind for voters A
Member of Parliament must listen to constituents’ issues. I’ve knocked on almost 25,000 doors and walked over 1,000 kilometres to discuss issues that keep constituents awake at night since I began an unpaid leave from my federal government job in December, 2013 in my bid to represent the riding of Cloverdale– Langley City. To those who kept their door open to me, I listened to their concerns regardless of party affiliation. I want to represent everyone in Langley, not just Liberal supporters. The top priority raised by residents is the increasing financial pressures that families face — cost of living increases (housing, food, transportation) and the failure of income to keep pace. To address this economic issue, we need good local jobs with access to affordable, reliable and timely transit. We need programs that benefit all Canadians from youth to seniors and the working families in between. And we need a financially responsible government that spends on Canadians — not promoting itself. As MP, for Cloverdale-Langley City, I will advocate for financial programs and
incentives that benefit our families, seniors and youth. The tax burden will be lifted through a promised seven per cent cut to the taxes on earnings from $45,000 to $90,000, an income-tested payment plan for child benefits with more for low and medium income families and nothing for income over $200,000, and increased assistance to single and low-income seniors. Youth unemployment rates must also be addressed. Our riding can lead in the creation of jobs in new and emerging fields in collaboration with existing businesses and educational organizations in our area. Significant investments in transit, including light rail to Langley, are needed, as are investments in our social infrastructure including affordable housing. Secondly we must re-establish confidence in our democratic processes. Many Canadians don’t want to vote on Oct. 19 because they have lost faith in all parties to act responsibly and in the public’s interest, not their own. Our veterans did not fight and die to defend an unresponsive, uncaring and undemocratic government. As a society, we need to ensure that we
uphold the sacred bond that exists between a country and its uniformed men and women. This sacred bond has been broken and must be restored. I spent over 30 years working in the federal public service. As a society, we’ve become cynical of the role of government adding value to our lives. Public service must put service above self. We need to restore integrity and honesty to government. Canada was built on transparent democratic processes, but we’ve lost these through omnibus bills, increased power of the Prime Minister’s Office and decreased powers of Members of Parliament. I will work to uphold the honour and integrity that voters deserve. The Liberal Party of Canada recognizes these issues and pledged 42 changes to restore the public’s faith in Canada’s democratic processes. Lastly the federal government must take a strong leadership role both internationally and domestically by embodying the values of Canada as a caring and compassionate country. We can act on world threats including terrorism by being both smart and compassionate. We must work with provinces, territories, municipalities and First Nations to deal with the important issues of homelessness, mental health, environment, healthcare, infrastructure deficiencies and others that require multi-party discussions. I will advocate on Langley’s behalf for the betterment of our communities and of Canada. See www.realchange.ca for more information.

SPONSOR OF THE MONTH
Aldergrove Rotary – Volunteers making a difference locally and internationally
T
he Rotary Club of Aldergrove is a small but vibrant group of business people who have been meeting for 25 plus years in the Aldergrove area. Many members are charter members who have been there since the beginning and still enjoy doing work for the community of Aldergrove and supporting the world wide projects of Rotary International. This animated group has continuously been involved in activities to improve the life and literacy of the children of Aldergrove. Programs we have supported include the purchase of iPads for the Learning Assistance Program at ACSS (Aldergrove Community Secondary School), a new playground at North Otter Elementary School, the Summer Learning Program and the Justice Institute’s mentoring program. We continually assess new requests for assistance from groups and projects in the Aldergrove area. Our international project is putting wells, smokeless ovens and sanitary latrines in outlying villages in the Province of Ramechap in Nepal. Since the earthquake the need is even greater. Over the last years, the wells are now in 80 per cent of Ramechap’s villages. These funds are raised at our Katmandu Classic Golf Tournament each year. We work with World Neighbours, which is one of three NGOs in BC that is able to multiply funds donated to the Nepal Water Project six fold. Our newest and biggest local project is our “Starfish Back Pack Program”. This program piggy backs on the lunch and breakfast programs sponsored in the schools of Aldergrove that feed hungry children so that they may have a more successful outcome in learning. If the child is hungry Monday to Friday, what happens on the weekend? We raise funds to pack a back pack of food that can be sent home on Friday with the needy child so that he/she can make it through the weekend. The cost of funding a child for the school year is $525.00. To date we have funded, in conjunction with generous individuals and businesses in the area, over 50 backpacks for this term. With the
Dale Dodge of World Neighbours Canada, and Aldergrove Rotary members Jack Nicholson and Terry Metcalfe join a Nepalese woman who has benefitted from the Nepal Water Project. help of volunteers that shop for the food, pack the backpacks and deliver them to the schools, we have just got this year’s project off the ground. There is a continuous need for this program – a need for funds and a need for volunteers to keep the program going. We are looking to you to get involved so that more needy children can have a positive learning outcome. You can donate in several ways. If you need a tax receipt you can donate through our funding partner Encompass Support Services by following the links from our online site at www.starfishpack.ca or you can mail a cheque, marked Starfish Program, to the Aldergrove Rotary Club at PO Box 1602, Aldergrove BC V4W 2V1. If you would like to join our vibrant, fun networking group, start your day off on the right foot and give back to your community, come and join us for breakfast on Friday mornings, 7 am, at the White Spot in Aldergrove at 264th and the Fraser Highway. We are always looking for new members. You won’t be disappointed.

THE VOICE OF BUSINESS GLCC ADVOCACY UPDATE
Property transfer tax reform The mission of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce is to foster a positive business environment by providing members with leadership, advocacy and services of value. Executive Director, Lynn Whitehouse, and select Board members recently submitted four resolutions at the BC Chamber Annual General Meeting in Prince George and all were successful at received support of the majority. This is the last in this series of advocacy updates but if you have any questions or want more information on the Chamber’s advocacy efforts, please feel free to call Lynn at 604-371-3770 or visit www.langleychamber.com. The Chamber has been on record for some time advocating that affordable, market based housing for families is a major factor in creating attractive, liveable and competitive communities. Affordable housing is important to the business community both as an economic driver in its own right, and also as a competitive advantage in the search for a skilled workforce and community growth. Business must remain competitive and the cost of housing is a major source of wage pressure. Any additional wage costs are passed to consumers and increased consumer costs will only encourage buyers to search alternatives (cross border shopping, etc.). The Chamber recognizes that the purchase price of a house is a market function that will find a natural balance if left unimpeded. However government at every level have been distorting this market by consistently imposing unnecessary costs and restrictions on the market. This has led to increased pressure on costs and therefore prices. This is exacerbating the housing affordability crisis that is impacting communities across BC. A critical contributor to this issue is the Property Transfer Tax (PTT), which affects the affordability of housing throughout the province of B.C. BC continues to hold the highest prices across Canada and has seen increases of 16% since 2012, while the national average increased 13%. The PTT is often repeated and continually imbedded in the ultimate cost passed on to consumers. The Chamber believes that the majority of this tax burden, which was originally intended to impact only the elite now affects virtually everyone who purchases a home. As such, the original “luxury tax” is now burdening the working class. BC residents are enduring the highest cost of housing in Canada, with prices almost 100% higher than the national average. This high cost of housing places a burden on economic stability and creates a barrier to attracting and retaining skilled workers to certain sectors and regions. The Chamber believes that reduction and eventual elimination of the property transfer tax creates a positive impact on the business community and the Province via: • Improving the affordability of housing for residents • Creating attractive, liveable, and competitive cities Retaining residents in BC to fill skilled jobs • Attracting skilled workers to BC to fill specific vacancies • Generating additional economic contributions in communities, as each property transaction generates on average $42,000 in expenditures in local communities • Drive job creation, as the sale and purchase of homes has a positive impact on direct and indirect jobs.

New Brunswick ............................................. $172,833 Prince Edward Island .................................... $164,774 Canadian Average ......................................... $312,346 Data provided by The Canadian Real Estate Association:
Current Property Tax Model: Currently, the Tax is charged at 1% of the value of property up to $200,000 and 2% on the remainder of the value. This results in $10,352 of tax on the average house price of $617,581. First time home buyers (FTHB) who are BC Residents can be eligible1 for an exemption or refund of the tax if the value is less than $475,000. This limit was recently increased by the Provincial Government and shows positive signs of commitment to property tax reform and the introduction of mechanisms to attract home buyers to BC. Proposed Revisions to Property Transfer Tax: The Property Transfer Tax is a significant source of income for the province of British Columbia. The 2014-2015 Provincial Budget shows that the tax should generate close to a billion dollars per year for the B.C. government for the next 5 years. As such, we realize that any adjustments to eliminate the Property Transfer Tax need to be managed in a fiscally responsible way to avoid offsetting increases in income taxes or cuts to essential services. Similarly, the low personal tax rates and strong public services are equally attractive factors for BC. Therefore, any proposals to reduce taxes must have compensating measures to maintain a balanced budget. We recommend that the BC Government initially increase the threshold to a level consistent with the original intention of taxing luxury items i.e. to a value consistent with actual prices in BC, being $600,000 for BC Residents who are purchasing a primary residence. The threshold of $600,000 and $475,000 for first time home buyers exemptions, should continually be increased in line with the changes in home prices to reflect the current economics. Over the longer term, we recommend further reducing the rates of tax with the intention of eventual elimination. The Primary Residence Grant In addition to amending the thresholds the Chamber also believes that further reform would address the issue of affordability. Indeed, property transfer tax reform would be considerably advanced through an initiative that would offer qualified purchasers a Primary Residence Grant. Currently Property Transfer Tax is calculated at 1% on the $100,000 of property value and 2% on the remainder. Increasing that threshold would go a long way to make the purchase of a Primary Residence more affordable. Primary Residence Grant qualifications would be similar to those for First Time Home Buyers, requiring applicants to be Canadian citizens or permanent residents

Whereas here, sometimes it’s not enough, but there are some support systems.” Shaw agrees. “It’s such a heavy duty load for anybody to have to carry,” she said.

MIR ANDA GATHER COLE Tim es Reporter
It’s not often that a great story “lands in your lap,” so when Chelsea McMullan’s friend asked if she would make a documentary on her family, McMullan was a little taken aback. “She approached me a little bit out of the blue, I was pretty surprised she asked me to make the film,” the Langleyborn filmmaker said. “A story like that doesn’t land in your lap everyday, and it presented a lot of interesting themes that I thought were worth going down the rabbit hole and exploring.” McMullan’s friend, Shannon Hanmer, had just been friended on Facebook by a girl also named Shannon Hanmer in Thailand. Even more bizarre, both Shannon’s had brothers named Michael. The four of them, it turns out, are all siblings. Their father, once a respected police officer in Hamilton, Ont., became engrossed in crime and fled to Thailand. He started a new family, giving his Thai kids the same names as his Canadian kids, and eventually was gunned down in the Philippians. “The film is the retelling of his life through the perspective of his different children who are named the same name,” McMullan explained. “I was really interested in this idea of parallel lives, and having a double and having a different version of you on the other side of the world. “To film, we used a lot of long drawls and superimpositions to try to create this idea of what it would be like to wake up one day and realize there’s another version of you out there.” Michael Shannon Michael Shannon John premiered at the Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) at the end of September, and was featured at the Calgary International Film Festival last week. It will also be aired on Super Channel in 2016. Taking three years to complete, McMullan admits that making a feature on her friend was uncomfortable at times. “It was a bit strange, I would

I met her Thai siblings before she met them because I had to make contact with them and make sure they were OK with being in the film,” she said. “We also wanted to film the moment when they met for the first time. It’s weird meeting someone’s family before they meet them. The whole thing was pretty surreal. Definitely put a strain on our friendship. I had to push her into places she sometimes didn’t want to go or ask her uncomfortable questions.” It’s a situation McMullan has dealt with before. Her last documentary, My Prairie Home, which won the 2013 Vancouver Film Critics’ Prize for Best Canadian Documentary and a Canadian Screen Award nomination, featured another friend, Rae Spoon. “I think with any subject in any documentary you have to push them further than they want to go to get anything interesting,” she said. “It’s just not so common that you’re good friends with them as well.” Michael Shannon Michael Shannon John is one of two films McMullan featured this year at VIFF, which runs until Oct. 9. The World Famous Gopher Hole Museum, a short, examines the small town of Torrington, Alta., through the taxidermy gophers in its gopher museum. “The film is interesting in ideas around legacy,” McMullan said.
“The town, like a lot of small towns in Canada, lost the grain elevators, and the train stopped coming through and to get work a lot of the people go work in the oil fields. “So the dynamics of the town shifted from a tight-knit farming community to more of a commuter town. But the dioramas represent the ideal version of the town, so as the actual town is shifting, the beating heart of the town is in this museum and it is sort of frozen in time. It wants to explore this idea of why we want to preserve the best versions of ourselves.” The 19-minute film was shot seven times over four years while McMullan worked on several different projects. And although the subject matter “could not be more opposite,” of Michael Shannon Michael Shannon John, McMullan says people can always identify her films through her style. “The subject matters I make films about are so diverse,” she said. “It’s just got to intrigue me, it’s got to present themes that I’m interesting in exploring. I think my work is more similar formally then it is thematically. “I think you can tell if it’s a film I’ve made by the way I make it than the subject matter. It has to present something that is formally interesting to play with.” To see more of McMullan’s films, visit her website www. chelseamcmullan.com.

‘Dancing until midnight’ at annual fundraiser gala
AGASSIZ / HARRISON FIRST NATIONS
The Agassiz ❖ Harrison
Langley residents are encouraged to put on their dancing shoes and open their hearts and wallets for one heck of a good time — and two very important causes. On Saturday, Oct. 17, the Caring Hearts Gala is coming to Cascades Casino and Convention Centre for an unforgettable fete that will include champagne and hors’d’oeuvres, a sumptuous three-course dinner, live and silent auctions, sizzling entertainment by Tony Barton’s Sharp Dressed Man Stage Show and his nine-piece band and dancing until the clock strikes midnight. Hot on the heels of last year’s charity gala, the Langley Care Foundation and the Langley Hospice Society have once again joined forces to raise funds for both non-profit organizations. Last October, their Old Hollywood bash raised more than $38,000. The Langley Care Society is the not-for-profit owner/ operator of Langley Lodge, a complex health care facility with 139 residents, and an integral part of the community for more than 40 years. The Langley Care Foundation is the fundraising
briefs BLUES BROTHERS
The Official Blues Brothers Revue is coming to Cascades Casino Oct. 21. The band pays homage to Chicago’s rich history of blues, gospel and soul music. The show combines the comedy and hits from the original 1980 Blues Brothers blockbuster film and albums with a multi-media presentation. Tickets are $52.50. Call 604-530-2211 or visit www.ticketweb.ca. •••
DEATH OF A SALESMAN
White Rock Players’ Club presents Death of a Salesman at the Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. This award-winning play tells the tragic story of a salesman, his dreams, and the community around him. It runs Oct. 7-24, Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m.,with matinees Oct. 11 and 18 at 2:30 p.m. For tickets, call 604536-7535 or visit www. whiterockplayers.ca.
arm for the LCS. This year, funds raised will support therapeutic programs, from art, horticultural and music therapy to pastoral care. For the Langley Hospice Society, the fundraising helps provide important palliative care and bereavement support programs to the more than 5,000 individuals who access their services free of charge, each year. These include: companionship and support to palliative patients and their families, grief support programs, community outreach and education, specialized volunteer training and support, a resource library, day camps and summer camps, and Supportive Steps — a walking group for bereaved adults. “These types of events provide us with an opportunity to raise awareness and important funding to help us in our mission to provide compassionate support to help people live with dignity and hope while coping with grief and end of life,” said Kathy Derksen, president of the LHS. “And while last year’s gala was an event to remember,” said Shannon Todd Booth, communications and funds development manager of the LHS.
“This year’s Caring Hearts Gala is shaping up to be their best one yet.” Patrick Matiowski, Director of Fundraising for the LCF agrees. “We are kicking it up a notch this year, with the addition of dancing until midnight so our guests can take to the dance floor and enjoy the entertaining nine-piece show band,” he said. “From the elaborate room décor, delectable cocktails and dinner service to the top notch entertainment, this year’s gala is certain to impress. “Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are still available, and the gala committee volunteers are still looking for additional items for the silent and live auctions held on the night-of. Sponsorship and donations are gratefully accepted.” Discounted room rate of $109 plus tax is available to Caring Hearts Gala guests at Cascades Casino Resort Hotel. Call 604-530-1500 and mention “Caring Hearts Gala Fundraiser.” For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit www. caringheartsgala.com, or call the Langley Hospice Society at 604-530-1115 or the Langley Lodge at 604-532.4207.

You & The Law
PRESENTS Must your will include your spouse and children? You may want to cut back on what goes to a spouse or child after you die – or cut them out of your Will altogether. Often the reasons are personal. In one court case, a son’s illegal marijuana growing saddled his mother with a court conviction, and he also tried to have her committed. Or the reasons may be cultural. Some cultures view a married-off daughter as the sole responsibility of her husband. But no matter the reasons, careful estate planning is critical, because some family members can challenge your Will after your death. Under the Wills, Estates and Succession Act, spouses and children (including common law spouses and adopted children) have the right to apply to court to vary any Will which fails to make adequate provision for their maintenance and support. If the court agrees, the court can make whatever order it thinks is “adequate, just and equitable” in all the circumstances. In the leading case of Tataryn, the testator favoured his son Edward over his other son, John. He worried that if he gave anything outright to Mary, his wife of 43 years, it would end up with John. So under his Will, Mary was allowed to live in the family home for life and receive income from a trust. Upon her death, everything went to Edward and nothing to John. Mary and John went to court, and in 1994 the Supreme Court of Canada changed the Will. Mary got ownership of the house, a life interest in some rental property and the rest of the estate (after gifts of $10,000 to John and Edward). The court also ordered that upon her death, the rental property would go one-third to John and two-thirds to Edward. In deciding on what is “adequate provi-
sion,” the court said that both the legal and moral duties of the Will-maker must be met. If the estate is big enough, and there’s no good reason for cutting out a child, then morally an independent adult child should get something. Since Tataryn, Wills variation lawsuits in BC have multiplied. In one, two adult daughters successfully challenged their mother’s Will. She left behind an estate worth $550,000. Her Will gave $10,000 to each of her three daughters (one accepted) and divided the balance equally between her two sons. This was in accordance with her native Indo-Fijian culture, where the lion’s share typically goes to the sons. The BC Supreme Court changed the Will. The daughters each got one-fifth of the estate, and the remaining three-fifths was shared equally between the two sons. The judge said: “In modern Canada, where the rights of the individual and equality are protected by law, the norm is for daughters to have the same expectations as sons when it comes to sharing in their parents’ estates.” In another case, the court changed the Will so that a gay son (treated unequally) received the same inheritance as his two heterosexual brothers. If you want to disinherit or reduce the share of a spouse or child, it is imperative that you consult with a lawyer as there are numerous planning techniques available to insulate your estate plan from judicial interference.

Cranberries are one of the only native fruits commercially grown in B.C., and on Oct. 10, Fort Langley will be selling the best of this year’s harvest — 10,000 pounds of it. It’s one of many perks offered at the 20th annual cranberry festival, happening from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Village of Fort Langley. Not only can visitors purchase fresh, local cranberries for their
Thanksgiving dinners, there will also be 115 artisan vendors set up along Glover Road, 15 food trucks, live entertainment, a children’s activity area and cranberry/ pumpkin obstacle races done by Dragon boat on the Fraser River. The Lions Club will also be hosting a pancake breakfast on Church Street in front of St. George’s Church at 8:30 a.m., and to help with traffic congestion, there will be free shuttles to the festival from the Walnut Grove Community Centre and Trinity Western University from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Though small, cranberries pack a lot of power. Filled with antioxidants, Vitamin C, and fibre, they are also rich in flavour and history. First Nations along the Fraser River used the berry for food, dye and medicine, and they were an important trading item with the Hudson’s Bay Company. Today, farmers continue the tradition, with 12 per cent of the North American cranberry crop coming from B.C. soil. For recipes and to learn more about cranberries, go to www. bccranberries.com.

Chiefs’ Cholowski on radar Langley defenceman Dennis Cholowski was on the first list released by NHL Central Scouting
G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s
The NHL draft may still be more than eight months away, but a Langley teen finds himself on the radar. NHL Central Scouting released its preliminary player rankings last week (Sept. 29) with Dennis Cholowski making the list. Cholowski, a second-year defenceman for the Chilliwack Chiefs, was given a C grade, which translates into a fourth to sixth round draft candidate. He was just one of nine BCHL players on the initial list with only 19 junior A players from across all the Canadian league to earn that distinction. “It means a lot,” the 17-year-old admitted. “It has always been my goal to play in the NHL and being ranked for the NHL draft, this is the first step in getting there. “I am really excited about it.” But that doesn’t mean Cholowski is going to rest on his laurels in what is likely his final year of BCHL hockey. “It just means more work is ahead; I have to keep going,” he said. “I know there was quite a bit of buzz around during the (BCHL Bauer) Showcase here with NHL scouts, not just NHL Central Scouting,” said Chilliwack head coach and general manager Jason Tatarnic. “He is obviously a player to watch.” Cholowski is one of those defencemen that every team covets. “He is that offensive defencemen every team wants,” Tatarnic said. “(Dennis) is a fantastic skater and has great vision. “The biggest thing is his skating ability; that is what makes him so good.” Last season, Cholowski finished with four goals and 27 points in 55 games and was second on the team in points among the Chilliwack defencemen. “I like to jump up into the rush and contribute on offence,” he said. “But I also know my defensive responsibilities.” He scored his first goal of the season on Friday night in a 6-4 loss to the Langley Rivermen at the Langley Events Centre. Cholowski also had an assist the next night as the team’s wrapped up a homeand-home series, but Langley won that one too, 3-2 in overtime.
GA R R E T T J A M E S B C HL
Chilliwack Chiefs defenceman Dennis Cholowski is off to a solid start in his second —and likely last — BCHL campaign. The 17-year-old from Langley has six points through the season’s first eight games. He is off on scholarship to St. Cloud State next year, but prior to that, very may well hear his name called in this June’s NHL entry draft. He leads the Chiefs defence with six points in eight games. Tatarnic said that like any rookie coming into a league where players are three and four years your senior, Cholowski was faced with some challenges early on. “But because he is such a good skater, he was able to adjust pretty quick,” the coach said. “As a 16-year-old he was on our power play, so that speaks volumes about his skill set.” Cholowski, who is six-foot-one and 165 pounds, uses his speed to his advantage, whether it be bringing the puck out of his own end or while defending. And he only committed a pair of minor penalties all of last season. While the NHL remains the ultimate goal, Cholowski is also focused on his ed-
ucation. He committed to St. Cloud State in Minnesota for next fall, once he is done high school. He made the decision last November after visiting the university on an official visit to tour the campus and take in one of the team’s games. “I loved everything about it; the campus was nice, the hockey was absolutely fantastic and the fans were great,” he described. “As soon as I got back, I knew that was where I wanted to go.” But before he heads off for university, Cholowski is determined to make the most of his last BCHL campaign. “I think I just need to focus on playing my game, playing well, and not worrying about pressure or anything like that.
“Just staying calm,” he explained. “I think we have a really good team and can go far in the league this year.” Through the season’s first six games, Cholowski has four assists. Another goal Cholowski can aim for is securing a spot in the Canadian Junior Hockey League Prospects Game. It was announced on Sept. 30 that the game will be played at the South Surrey Arena on Jan. 26. The 11th annual game will feature the top draft-eligible prospects from Team West against those from Team East. There are 10 junior A hockey leagues across Canada. The players are chosen based on the recommendations of NHL Central Scouting, who will also release updated draft prospects lists between now and June.
Perfect weekend moves Rivermen to top spot
G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s
Three games in less than 72 hours? No problem for rookie goaltender Nick Trenciansky and his Langley Rivermen teammates. Pressed into full-time duty after an early-season injury to Bo Didur, Trenciansky has not looked out of place. The 18-year-old got the call in all three games
for the Rivermen this past weekend and was more than up to the challenge, back-stopping the team to three wins which moved them atop the BCHL’s Mainland Division standings with a 6-2-0-0 record. He stopped 25 of 29 shots in a 6-4 win on Friday night at the Langley Events Centre over the Chilliwack Chiefs and then was masterful in the rematch the
next night at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre, making 45 saves in a 3-2 double overtime victory. And he closed out the weekend with a 26-save performance in a 4-2 Langley win on Sunday afternoon back at the LEC over the Cowichan Valley Capitals. When all was said and done, Trenciansky had stopped 96 of the 104 shots
he faced, a .923 save percentage. “Keeping my legs under me was definitely a challenge because three games in a row is a grind,” he admitted. Not that he’s complaining about the early-season playing time. “It was tough, but it was fun. It was a good opportunity and I was looking forward to it,” he said.
“Definitely, (I want) to make the most of my opportunity.” In the opener, Justin Szeto scored twice in the 6-4 victory, while in the rematch, Matty Saharchuk struck late in double overtime for the winner. And on Sunday, the Rivermen looked destined for overtime, but Szeto scored with six seconds to play to snap a 2-2 tie and Ben
Butcher iced the game on the ensuing face-off with an empty-net goal. “A six-point weekend is pretty rare in the league so I think it makes a good name for us,” Trenciansky said. The Rivermen face the Wenatchee Wild — who are one point behind them in the standings — on Friday night at the LEC. Langley also hosts Chilliwack in a Sunday matinee.

Langley Schools honour residential school survivors Orange Shirt Day was held September 30th and many students and staff chose to wear orange in recognition of the harm the residential school system inflicted upon many children of Aboriginal families. Cultural Presenters shared stories of residential school survivors and many schools held assemblies that included Aboriginal Support Workers and guest drummers. Orange Shirt
Day began in 2013 and is the legacy of the St. Joseph Mission residential school in Williams Lake, BC. Residential school student Phyllis recalls having her new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission and it has become symbolic of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come. Search Twitter for #orangeshirtday to see many photos of school activities.

Four points apiece for Spartan soccer squads A blowout victory and a draw over the weekend helped the Trinity Western Spartans push their unbeaten streak to seven matches. The women’s soccer
team improved to 5-1-2 with the results. The Spartans beat the Mount Royal Cougars 5-0 on Saturday in Calgary with Krista Gommeringer netting
two goals, while Rachel Hutchinson, Jenaya Robertson and Brooklyn Tidder scoring once apiece. Ally Williamson stopped all four shots for the clean sheet.
And on Sunday in Edmonton, Isabella Di Trocchio scored in the 50th minute to pull the Spartans even as they trailed 1-0 at the half to the Grant MacEwen

Griffins. Williamson came up with 10 saves as TWU was out-shot 11-2. “Disappointed that we dropped points, but credit to MacEwen they worked really hard today and defended really well,â€? said Spartans coach Graham Roxburgh. “We had two or three good chances (to win it), but we just could not convert.â€? ••• The Trinity Western Spartans won everywhere but on the scoreboard in their game on Saturday night with the visiting UBC Okanagan Heat. The Spartans men’s soccer team controlled possession throughout the match and had 19 shots — including five on goal — while allowing just one shot attempt at Rogers Field. But that lone shot was successful and it took an Elijah Adekugbe goal
in the 79th minute for the Spartans to salvage a point. “Possession is pretty and it looks nice to the spectators, but what wins games is goals,� said Spartans coach Pat Rohla. “They went ahead and we tied it up, but we missed a handful of goals. Our performance was right. Our finish wasn’t. That’s not just the striker’s fault. Everybody contributes in ways and we need to find ways to get goals when we need them. We outplayed them, but we just didn’t get the three points.� The team was coming off a 2-1 win the night before as Brayden Gant and Jarvis Ambaka both found the back of the net in the game’s first 25 minutes. Goalkeeper Andrew Hicks came up with four saves on five shots to preserve the victory as the Spartans improved
to 3-2-1 in Canada West play. Both the Spartans men’s and women’s teams have a homeand-home series with the UFV Cascades. The rivals play on Friday in Abbotsford and then the rematch is Tuesday at Rogers Field. ••• The Trinity Western women’s volleyball team went a perfect 3-0 over the weekend at the West Coast Classic held at the Langley Events Centre. The Spartans beat Calgary 3-0, Mount Royal 3-1 and Thompson Rivers 3-0. And in Calgary, the Spartans men’s volleyball team went 1-2 at the Dino Cup. They lost their first two matches 3-1 to Mount Royal and 3-2 to Calgary before bouncing back to beat Saskatchewan 3-0. Both volleyball teams begin Canada West play next week.

Knights’ struggles continue The Langley Knights gave the Grandview Steelers all they could handle, but came up one goal short. The junior B hockey club lost 3-2 on Sunday afternoon at the Burnaby Winter Club to the lone unbeaten team in the Pacific Junior Hockey League. The win was the Steelers’ eighth victory in as many tries while Langley lost for the seventh straight game to fall to 1-7-0-1. The Knights were up 2-0 after one period on a pair of power play goals from Nicolas Bizzuto. But the Steelers tied the game early in the third and then won it with a late man-advantage goal themselves. Langley also lost 5-3 to the Abbotsford Pilots last week (Oct. 1) at the George Preston Recreation Centre. The game was tied at three after 30 minutes
