Train warning system revived Scaled-down version could be in place by summer DA N F E R G US ON Time s Re po rte r
DAN FER GUSON Langley Time s
Having a background in aviation maintenance can be handy when you’re the general manager of the Canadian Museum of Flight. Mike Sattler was working on the balky door of the classic Beechcraft last week.
Long-promised train warning signs could be in place by the summer, Langley Township council was told Monday. But there will be fewer of them and they won’t have as many features. The news was delivered at a meeting of the CP Community Advisory panel of railway, Langley City, Langley Township and provincial government representatives earlier this month, councillor Charlie Fox said. “It is coming,” said Fox, who is one of the Township reps on the panel. “It’s back in a slightly modified and reduced fashion.” A provincial ministry of transport official told the panel that the number of signs will be cut from nine to six and they will not display arrival times.

Hall resigns council seat over health concern Seven-year member of Langley City council in a ‘significant’ battle with cancer, releases statement saying he looks forward to completion of Timms Centre, enhancement of parks and environment MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti me s Re po r t e r
After serving on Langley City council for seven years, Coun. Dave Hall has resigned. A “significant” battle with cancer has made it increasingly difficult to balance council with his health and family, leading to his official resignation. In a press release, which the mayor read out on behalf of Hall,
the councillor said he has “greatly enjoyed his most recent term . . . and looks forward to the completion and delivery of a new Timms Community Centre project and pursuit of environmental and parks enhancements, as promised by both the OCP (Official Community Plan) and the City’s Strategic Plan.” Hall has long been active in the Langleys, also serving as a school
trustee from 1997 to 2006 for the Langley Board of Education. “I know it’s been very hard visiting him and he asked to keep it under wraps until today,” Mayor Ted Schaffer told City council on Monday night. “We, as a group, may not always see eye to eye, but we still care for each other. I’ve had many discussions with him, good and bad, and those that know both of us, know

that there was always a little bit of bantering going on. “I respect councillor Hall’s views; I didn’t always agree with him, and neither did most of council. “He did give to this community, he was passionate about this community and he absolutely loved this community.” A by-election to fill Hall’s position is expected at the end of February.

Hight Tea in Grand Style

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es
Hundreds of stylishly dressed people attended the annual Thank You for Caring Christmas Tea, a fundraiser for the Langley Christmas Bureau, held Sunday at the Cascades convention centre in Langley City. The event was co-hosted by Debbie Froese and Jean Schaffer. Schaffer (right) enjoyed tea with her granddaughter, Abby Charlesworth, 10. Schaffer’s twin sister Jane Swint (left) was joined by her granddaughter, five-year-old Katheryn Swint.
The Rail Crossing Information System (RCIS) was supposed to use motion detectors to predict when a train is going to pass through an at-grade rail crossing in the Langleys and direct motorists to overpasses. RCIS was part of the $307 million Roberts Bank Rail Corridor project, which aimed to reduce congestion and the potential for vehicle collisions by building overpasses and directing commuters away from level crossings. The sign project was budgeted at $3.8 million, but when the displays were put to tender, the bids came in higher. Even with fewer signs, the project will still be $900,000 over budget, the CP panel
was told. The revival of the sign project comes after the councils of both Langleys wrote the manager of the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor project to demand that the agency honour its promise to install the electronic traffic displays. The rail line through the Langleys currently carries up to 18 trains a day, some as long as 9,500 feet (2,900 metres). The rail traffic to and from the Deltaport container cargo and coal terminals is expected to more than double to 38 trains a day by 2021, with some trains as long as 12,000 feet (3,600 metres). About 388,000 vehicles cross the tracks along the corridor every day, a number expected to rise to 560,000 by 2021.
Sea of protest over proposal to trim tax break Motion to reduce permissive tax exemption dies without discussion, as church and non-profit reps line up to denounce plan MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
A strategy to reduce property tax exemptions for 29 church and non-profit properties was met by a sea of protesters at Langley City council on Monday night. Council chambers was overflowing with people from several of the affected groups, including the Langley Hospice Society, St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Langley Stepping Stone society and the Langley Association for Community Living. “Your withdrawal of the permissive tax exemption makes a statement to the donor community that there is not a need, nor a value in what we do,” said Langley Lodge CEO Debra Hauptman, the first of 18 speakers to voice their disapproval. Implementing the strategy, which calls for a five per cent reduction in permissive tax exemptions each year for five years for churches and non-profit organizations on City land, and one per cent each year for
13 other non-profit properties, would cause Langley Lodge to cut back on its quality of life programs, Hauptman said. For St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, the financial burden would force them to close their doors after serving Langley for 94 years, said Rev. Paula Porter Leggett. Although the province provides permissive tax exemptions on the actual building of worship, the City has historically looked after the remaining property and parking lots. “This would result in the elimination of the Anglican church in the City of Langley (and) all the services it provides, and the non-profit groups who rely on us would have to find other spaces, likely at a cost they would have difficulty managing,” she said. “I think the cost to the City will be well more than what you will find yourselves receiving.” According to the report, the strategy
would save taxpayers $257,537 per year, or $20.88 for the average single family home, $8.60 for the average multifamily strata property and $187 for the average business property. But in reality, this plan causes everyone to lose, said resident Elizabeth Barrett. “I am truly, truly heartbroken to think that this council is under the ill-conceived notion that by demanding tax from all of these charities, that I would be grateful that you can save me $20 a year,” she said. “This figure is an absolute fantasy, because who do you think is invested in all these groups? Taxpayers.” These organizations also do work that the City “can’t or won’t do,” said Rev. Lawrence Donnelly of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. They provide food for the poor, including a Christmas dinner that feeds 300 people every year, and emotional support to those who “are broken inside and need to be heard,” he said.
“Part of our mandate, the churches are there for the worship of God and for the service of our neighbour. “And we do this without looking for thanks, without looking for remuneration, but just out of love for our fellow man who stand before us in need. “We do what we can to help them.” Speaker Don Shilton called it a “robbery” of charities. “You would be the only greedy municipality in Canada to obtain this cash grab from charities — shame on you,” he said. One of the final speakers of the night, Dan Ritchie, called the move “political suicide.” “If it was fair, then why wouldn’t every other city council across British Columbia and Canada be looking at the same thing?” he asked. The audience erupted in applause when the motion failed, after no member of council agreed to second it.

Langley-Aldergrove MP Mark Warawa named Seniors critic

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Langley-Aldergrove MP Mark Warawa has been named seniors critic in the Official Opposition’s shadow cabinet. Warawa’s appointment, announced on Nov. 20, comes after the newly elected Liberal government eliminated the Conservative Minister of State for seniors issues position formerly held by Richmond Centre MP Alice Wong. Wong, who won re-election, was named small business critic by new Conservative leader Rona Ambrose. Three other Lower Mainland Tories were also appointed to shadow cabinet posts. Former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts, in her first term as South Surrey-White Rock MP, was named critic for infrastructure and communities. Veteran Abbotsford MP Ed Fast, the former government’s longtime minister of international trade, becomes the Opposition critic for environment and climate change. Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl is critic for fisheries and oceans, and the Coast Guard. “I am deeply honoured to receive this role in Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition,” Warawa said of his shadow cabinet appointment.

Langley-Aldergrove MP Mark Warawa is one of five Lower Mainland Conservative MPs appointed to the Opposition’s shadow cabinet. “Canadian seniors remain a high priority for Conservatives,” Warawa said, noting that he himself is a senior. “My job as critic will be to help ensure that seniors are not overlooked by the current government.” He noted that Canada’s population is in the middle of a fundamental shift that will see seniors make up a larger percentage of the population. In 2012, almost one in seven Canadians was a senior; by 2030, that number is projected to jump to nearly one in four.
“Canada’s change in demographics will present new opportunities for our society,” Warawa said. “It will also present challenges, to which the Government of Canada must demonstrate a commitment to ensure both the well-being of seniors and Canada’s future prosperity.” Warawa was not a cabinet minister while Stephen Harper was Conservative leader, but was appointed as parliamentary secretary to the minister of the environment in 2006. - with files from Jeff Nagel

An Afghanistan veteran who was hit by a truck on a rainy, windy evening on 232 Street earlier this month, has made remarkable progress, and is even walking around in hospital. A friend of John Lowe made a video of him walking inside the hallway of Royal Columbian Hospital. Lowe, 29, thanked everyone for their prayers and said that a testament to all the well wishes and good work of doctors is his ability to already be walking around after his surgeries. Lowe said he will be out of hospital sooner than originally expected. When Lowe was transported to RCH he was in critical condition, with internal bleeding. He’d suffered multiple injuries, including two breaks in his left arm, several broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and kidney and a bruised aorta when

Present a gift from the past A community that takes the time to honour its pioneers is one that understands it would be a much poorer place if not for the hard work and sacrifice of those who came before. It’s nice to know that Langley is just such a community. On Nov. 19, the Township hosted its annual Douglas Day luncheon at Langley Events Centre. No small undertaking, nearly 340 local pioneers were wined and dined and individually thanked for their collective contribution to Langley’s development through the decades. For about three hours that day, Langley’s rich history was on display from one end of the banquet hall to the other: Volunteer servers, with names the likes of Mavis, from the Fort Langley National Historic Society and members of the Native Daughters, attended tables and talked with guests about times gone by. Members of the Kwantlen First Nation drummed and sang in traditional style. And among those honoured at the luncheon were two of James Douglas’ great, great granddaughters, whose ancestor signed the proclamation that made B.C. a Crown colony in 1858. This year’s event singled out members of the pioneer medical services, with plenty of discussion centred around the hospital on the hill. It was a time when, as one speaker noted, babies were routinely born at home and doctors made house calls to tend to their patients. There were very few times in a person’s life when they would actually find themselves in hospital, she noted. Honouring the community’s history in one of Langley’s newest and most well-used facilities made for nice juxtaposition of past and present — one, obviously, impossible without the other. Mayor Jack Froese put it quite succinctly during his remarks: “Everything we benefit from today can be attributed to (Langley’s pioneers).”

yet-to-be jihadis — the ones ISIS and al-Qaeda can reach via the Internet. The same social media and websites that give the “build-a-wall-and-lockus-in” types the means to rant beyond their coffee cups also provide the conduit through which terrorism flows across borders and past all the security checks in the world. If you must be afraid, fear that. Also be afraid that terrorism will achieve one of its objectives — to cultivate paranoia and hatred around the world, because that spawns more recruits. Be most afraid, though, of a country that turns away from its history as a generous, compassionate nation, to one that is seized by fear itself, which tramples on a global vision, and turns inward to a self-serving, self-protectionist agenda. That won’t happen, though. And we will not leave our own behind, as some suggest. Governments spend billions helping citizens who need assistance. Can more be done? Of course. Can we afford it? Of course. It is a matter of political will and planning. Canada has done so for generations which, never forget, are composed of millions of immigrants, and refugees, of myriad nationalities and many beliefs. Before we utter words like stay away, we must remember who we are and how we got here. Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News.

Survey premise for 16 Avenue ‘deeply flawed’ Editor: The premise of the Langley Township survey concerning the 16 Avenue development is deeply flawed. It is not an important east-west transport link; we are making it one. It is a heavily populated, residential road. Further encouragement of it becoming a main transport route is unsafe for residents, and for those passing through. This morning the lights outside our window are red and sparkling. They shine and twinkle and make my children think of Christmas. “What’s going on mummy?” They want to know. I cringe. I heard the sirens and saw the cars start to line up. Again. How do you tell your child about these kinds of things? The kind of things that end with memorials being set-up on our front lawn each year. That end with families grieving over the loss of fathers, or sisters, or brothers, or mothers. “It’s nothing,” I lie. It is the worst kind of something. I have swept the remnants of glass shards caused by these somethings from my front drive. I have explained to the police officer that I live here; that I can’t “go around” the accident. This accident, where someone died, or that accident where cattle suffocated in an overturned truck, or this one today, where the smell of burning oil, and burning fuel, and burning god-knows-what sticks in my nose and make me feel helpless and human and sad. I think about the municipality’s proposed speed increase and proposed widening of the road. I think about progress and everyone who
dents, the number of fatal accidents rose. Speed increases stopping distances, and exponentially increases the force in a collision. Kinetic energy doesn’t care about statistics, or theories or policy shift, or the psychological games we play with each other. In British Columbia, between 2008 and 2012, 1,650 people lost their lives on our roads. In 35 per cent of those accidents speed was a factor. It’s simple physics. Stone, says they are just trying to legalize the speed limit that people are already going. You could certainly make a case for this on 16 Avenue, particularly if we start encouraging more traffic to use this route. What happened to enforcement and consequences — like fines and licence suspensions — and safe community planning? Clear boundaries are meaningless without consequences. My kids could tell you this. If people aren’t going the speed limit then our consequences aren’t working. Upping the speed limit to make people “legal” is like asking kids to eat as many cookies as they want, because they’ll do it anyway. But we are not talking about cookies. We’re talking about cars being driven by loving fathers, caring mothers, and precious sons and daughters. And in the heart of my little rural community, these cherished lives that are only passing through are dying. Right there at the end of my driveway. CAROLYN SCHMIDT,

Police attend the scene of a multi-vehicle collision on 16 Avenue near 227 Street last June. deserves to get home to their family in a timely way; without crazy traffic jams. I think about how traffic has increased and the fact that people are already going above the speed limit. The progress feels inevitable. The people with needs are real. Increasing speeds and widening roads feels like the only answer but it feels wrong. British Columbia, is already raising its speed limits. Transport minister, Todd Stone, insists it will keep me safer. It’s hard to understand the logic as I watch people drive by my home going almost 80 km/h
when the posted speed limit is just 50. I understand that the policy shift is part of a global trend. European countries have been raising their speed limits for years. So are many of the states in the US. Utah, in particular, reported a decrease in traffic accidents in 2009 after they increased their speed limit from 75 mph to 80. Their transport minister said it provided better consistency among drivers. Everyone was going consistently faster and no one vehicle was going grossly over the speed limit. While there may have been fewer acci-

Bicyclists help pay for roads Writer blames Assad’s victims
Editor: Re: Bicycle lanes are dangerous and a waste of money (The Times, Nov. 6) There is this common misconception that cyclists, because they are not registered and do not pay vehicle insurance do not pay for the roads. Vehicle registration and insurance does not pay for road construction and
maintenance. The only money that motorists invest in roadways and transit that cyclists don’t share, is through the taxes they pay on fuel and bridge tolls. As taxpayers and consumers, cyclists share in the costs of roads. It’s unfortunate that many motorists have a sense of entitlement to the roadways and often display
a lack of patience for any cyclist, pedestrian, flag person or slow-moving vehicle that restricts their speed. We do, in fact, all share in the cost of our roads and we should all be able to use them safely. Taking a less self-centred attitude would be a good way to start. TOM BARICHELLO, LANGLEY
Editor: A photographer employed by the Syrian police has smuggled 55,000 photos of victims tortured, murdered, and starved by President Assad’s regime. Some of these are on display at the United Nations headquarters in New York. The UN figures show 250,000 people killed by Assad’s brutal military and 3.8 million more forced to flee. In 2012, Assad refused a peace initiative brokered by the UN. He chose to continue his bombing, gassing, and shelling of men, women and children.
Bob Fearn seems intent on blaming the victims (The Times Nov. 11), who only sought to replace Assad’s brutal dictatorship, where one wrong comment could result in torture and possible death. This is the cause of the flood of Syrian refugees risking everything including their lives for a new chance. Let’s not forget that it was only through willful ignorance that the Holocaust occurred.

Shop with teens in mind, urges bureau M ONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Langley Christmas Bureau volunteer Donalda Whaites knows it’s a bit early to worry, but the need for gifts for children ages 12 to 15 has grown this year. On the day the bureau opened for the season, 36 boys and girls were registered from that age group. “We are desperate for toys for that age group,� she said. “We always have enough for the younger kids, because they are fun to buy for, but our older kids like to unwrap gifts, too.� As an acting elf all year round, Whaites has been collecting some gifts on sale and just recently at the Christmas fair at LEC for this age
group. It includes some hoodies — popular items with the tweens and teens. But they could use more hoodies, headphones, Lego for older kids, nerf guns, hair straightners, nail art, make up cases, scooters and such for that age group. Hundreds of toys and gifts were dropped off on Thursday from the Lower Mainland Xmas Bureau. Each child receives a small and a big toy, a game or puzzle and a new book from Wrap A Reader program which has partnered with the bureau for many years. The bureau is now located at #10 19638 Fraser Hwy. Call 604-530-3001 or go to langleychristmasbureau.com.

Langley Christmas Bureau volunteer Dolanda Whaites looks over a list of boys and girls registered on the first day of operation. Of those kids, 36 are aged 12 to 15. It is a particularly difficult age group for the bureau to help, because most gifts are purchased with younger children in mind.
Gateway needs help to fill Christmas hampers
M ONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
The Salvation Army Christmas kettle campaign is already in full swing in Langley, but another important project is also underway to help those in need. The Gateway of Hope homeless shelter expects to provide approximately 500 Christmas hampers to singles, seniors and people with grown children this year. They’re asking for the community’s help to provide canned and non-perishable food items to fill the hampers, said Salvation Army’s Troy Gaglardi. In the past, they have used gift cards,
but this practise has become exponentially more expensive, he said. “So we are turning to the community to help supply the much-needed food items. “It seems it is more appealing for families to take the kids shopping and pick up a few of the items from our hamper list and drop them off to Gateway — and that works wonderfully for us,â€? said Gaglardi. Here is a list of the most needed items for the Christmas Hampers this year: • boxed cereal • Kraft dinner
• cans of soup • cans of chunky soup • canned vegetables • canned fruit • canned brown beans • peanut butter • jam • cans of salmon or tuna • boxes of pasta • cans of pasta sauce • instant noodles • cookies / granola bars Gateway of Hope is located beside Kwantlen Polytechnic University at 5787 Langley Bypass.

Langley City’s newest art gallery hosts Christmas show to benefit local food banks MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti me s Re po r t e r
The historic building that once served as Langley City’s post office has received a new, artistic tenant. Gallery 204, the latest to join the City’s vibrant art community, has transformed the iconic brick Federal Building at the corner of 204 Street and Douglas Crescent into a hub for B.C. artists. Located upstairs in a brightly lit loft, the walls of the 1,100 square foot gallery are decorated with the works of local artists Anita Klein, Bryan Coombes, Carmel Clare, Esther Sample, Graham McKenzie, Judy Vanderveen, Ken Nash, Lalita Hamill, Murray Phillips, Steve Madsen, Susan Galick, Suzanne Erickson, Terry Isaac, Tammie Hunter and Shelley Garries, the founder of the gallery. “It makes me feel inspired everyday to paint,” said Garries, who is also from Langley. “I feel lucky to follow my passions, but I had a lot of help and support to get here.”
Since opening Gallery 204’s doors in September, Garries has been overwhelmed with its reception, by both the public and other artists. “We had our grand opening on the fifth of November and it was packed — I couldn’t move,” Garries recalled. “The artists in here are amazing, they’re such great people. They’re very talented and they’ve been very kind and generous.” Two of Garries’ biggest supporters are her father, who owns the Federal Building, and fellow Langley artist Murray Phillips. “When Murray heard I wanted to open a gallery, he sat down with me and then next thing I knew, he was introducing me to all of these artists, these wonderful artists, and here we are. It just started rolling,” Garries explained. “I had this space in mind already — this space had sat empty for a year already — so I said, ‘I think I’m going to jump on the space,’ and then
Welcome to
Gallery I brought Murray here and he thought it was a perfect space for a gallery.” Across the hall from the main gallery room is a classroom where Garries plans to host artist workshops and children’s classes. Evening drop-in sessions have already started, with Phillips as host. “It’s a tough business,” Garries admitted, “but it’s really coming
204
all together. It’s pretty exciting.” Tomorrow evening (Nov. 26) from 6 to 8 p.m., Garries will be holding her first fundraising reception titled, Christmas Mini’s — A Small Works Exhibition. The exhibit is featuring small paintings by the gallery’s artists for the Christmas season and proceeds from the event will benefit local food banks. Garries will have a donation box set up, and those who bring
a non-perishable food item will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate to the gallery. There will also be an open house with the artists, wine tasting from Township 7 Winery and tasty hors d’oeuvres. For those who can’t make it, the exhibit will continue to be displayed until Dec. 23. For more on the gallery and the Christmas Mini’s show, visit www.gallery204.ca.
Close to 100 paintings by B.C. artists line the walls of Gallery 204. Owner Shelley Garries is hosting a Christmas themed reception on Nov. 26 to benefit local food banks.

After recording their first songs in the mountains last July, Langley band The Sylvia Platters are releasing their debut album this Friday (Nov. 27).

Tickets are available through our box office at 604-340-8537 or through our website at www.langleyukes.com
For self-produced band The Sylvia Platters, the top of a mountain seemed like the perfect place to record their first album. Armed with their instruments and personal recording equipment, brothers Tim and Nick Ubels and their friend Simon Tressel secluded themselves in a cabin on Mount Baker last July to create the first tracks on their debut album, Make Glad the Day.
Set to release this Friday (Nov. 27), it’s been a long process for the Langley Christian grads to make a professional collection without any professional help. “When you’re trying to produce it and do it all yourself, you don’t have anyone helping, you kind of run into problems all over the place that you’re not expecting,” said Tim, the drummer and vocalist for the band. “It’s all self-produced, self-released and independent. We did get it mastered by a pro-
fessional, just because we had no idea what we were doing in that regard, but outside of that, we are doing it ourselves.” With previous experience playing in a university band, the one thing the friends did have down pat is their music. Although their songs are short — most range from just over one minute to two and a half minutes — they have an alluring upbeat sound with classic rock undertones. Continued Page 15

Christmas light displays will be lighting up across the Lower Mainland soon. If you live in or near Langley and have a display you’d like the community to know about, send your info to the Langley Times and we’ll spread the word. File Ph oto
Lights? Fantastic! Is your yard so decked out with decorations that you can no longer see the lawn? Is your house visible from space? Or maybe you’ve just taken a little extra effort to put up a nice holiday display this year and would like people to come on by and have a look. Why not drop us a line with your name, address, hours and dates the display will be lit and any other pertinent information. Email to entertainment@langleytimes.com or drop the information off at our office, 20258 Fraser Hwy. No phone calls please. Lists will be published throughout December as space permits and will be kept up to date on our website at www.langleytimes.com.
Album’s digital release on Friday From Page 14
“It’s pop but it’s rock at the same time,” Tim said. “It’s a bit hard to explain, but we love interesting chord progressions that have a bit of an edge to them, but still at the same time keep that pop sensibility in there.” Some of their songs have been written for years, waiting for the opportunity to be performed, Tim added. “Me and my brother have been writing songs ever since our university band split in 2011,” he said. “We had a backlog of songs, we were talking to our friend Simon about maybe playing a bit, and it worked out.” After recording a few songs in Washington, the group added another high school friend, Luke Agawin, on guitar and finished their 14-track album in Langley. But there was still one more thing delaying their release. “My brother and I are a bit of vinyl nuts
so we wanted to go for that and have a copy of our record on vinyl,” Tim said. “That was one of the problems with doing it by ourselves. There’s quite a bit of delay because there’s only so many vinyl factories in North America, and you’re placed in the back of the line with every other artist. If a popular artist wants to produce 50,000 copies and we want to produce 500, and they’re in front of us, it takes a lot longer. That pushed it back a little bit.” With their digital release on iTunes and Amazon this week, record lovers can own a 12" vinyl copy in February. The band is already taking preorders online through their website, www. thesylviaplatters. bandcamp.com. They are also hosting a kick-off party on Nov. 29 at Brother’s Bowling & Billiards in Abbotsford. For more, visit their Facebook page “The Sylvia Platters.”

Celebrating dance with TWU So you think you’ve heard dance? The Trinity Western University (TWU) concert band and orchestra are performing a lively assortment of toetapping music at Celebrating Dance on Nov. 27 at Langley’s Willoughby Church and Nov.28 at Abbotsford’s Peace Lutheran Church. “So you think you’ve heard dance?� joked Allan Thorpe, DMA, chair of music at TWU’s school of the arts, media and culture (SAMC). “Our fall program brings together an impressive array of classic pieces for band and orchestra — favourites, really — and the theme for this concert is dance. “Some are more celebratory, others like the suite from Peer Gynt are more energetic and suspenseful. Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance is a recognizable tune that will get anyone’s feet tapping.�  Along with Sabre Dance,
the SAMC concert band will perform Armenian Dances by Alfred Reed — an intriguing, out of the ordinary mixture of metres and pulses. The SAMC orchestra will perform music from the adventure story of Peer Gynt as well as Edvard Grieg’s Symphonic Dances. The latter is a multi-movement setting of Norwegian folk tunes, all traditionally played outdoors on fiddles as dancers gathered en masse. Both ensembles feature TWU students and alumni, with other talented musicians from across the Fraser Valley. The SAMC orchestra is conducted by Jon Thompson, DMA, while Thorpe conducts the concert band. Guest conductors include Abbotsford teacher Alex McCune, who graduated from TWU with a music degree last spring, and fourth-year SAMC music student Dan White, who lives in Langley.

Local artist Lisa Nickel explores the concept of “bayit� through her new painting series.
Explore the meaning of home at the Fort Gallery’s latest show, BAYIT, on until Dec. 6, with artists Lisa Nickel and Betty Spackman. Nickel’s new painting series is an exploration of personal and social responsibility based on how people live and view the living situations of others. “The word ‘bayit’ used in both the Arabic and Hebrew languages to denote a dwelling place or home, additionally encompasses ambiguous concepts such as feeling at home in images or textual spaces,� Nickel said. “In this body of work, I use both the literal and metaphorical meanings of ‘bayit’ in order to look at the precariousness of human life, our interconnectedness with the other and the resulting obligations of our cohabitation.� Spackman, whose multimedia work has often dealt with issues of home, supports Nickel’s theme of “bayit� with a series of assemblage works and collages. “The minimal assemblage pieces I have made for this exhibition are layered iconic architectural forms representing ‘house’ — the ideals of dwellings based on particular ways of defining ‘home’ in terms of property and power that we use as a platform from which to judge success and failure,� Spackman said. The Fort Gallery is located at 9048 Glover Rd. Visit www.fortgallery.ca for more.

Comedians Patrick Maliha (left) and Erica Sigurdson will be performing at LOL for Life 2 on Nov. 28 Subm itte d ph otos
‘LOLing’ all night for life The Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley is bringing together some of the best comedians for a night of ‘LOLing’ in support of suicide prevention, education and counselling. LOL for Life 2 will take place on Saturday, Nov. 28 at 8 p.m. Created by Chief Sepass Theatre manager Kevin Statham, as a response to the passing of Robin Williams in 2014, this year’s LOL For Life 2 event will feature some of Vancouver’s finest comedians including Patrick Maliha, Erica Sigurdson, Ivan Decker, Larke Miller and Jamie Hutchinson. “Last year’s event was quite successful and raised some much needed funds for SPEAC,” says Statham. “I think it is a fitting
tribute to the legacy of Robin Williams. Even though it is a relatively small event, LOL For Life does what it can to support the youth of Langley, Surrey and White Rock. As they say, It takes a village...” The Suicide Prevention Education and Counselling (SPEAC) program is a program of Options Community Services — a 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, urgentresponse and short-term counselling for children and youth. “We are very thankful to be involved in this event,” said 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 save lives.” Through generous charitable contributions, SPEAC has dedicated specialized therapists who continue to advance their knowledge and expertise in their chosen field of suicidology, through additional training/ education that would otherwise not be possible

Led by artistic director Brenda Wilson, the groups have been rehearsing their seasonal selections since September, and are excited to present this unique blend of choir and band music to the public. The Langley Concert Band formed in 2003 as a beginner adult band. Many members had not picked up their instrument since high school, while others learned their instruments in their senior years. Today, the band has 22 musicians of all ages who enjoy playing different styles of music. They have performed at public concerts and community events, including the Ladner Bandfest, Langley Canada Day and Langley Day of Pos-Abilities. Brenda Wilson started the Opus One Women’s Choir in 2011. The 32 singers range in age from 20 to 80 and are united by a love of singing. They sing in two, three and four part harmony in a variety of musical styles. The choir has another upcoming performance on Dec. 6 at the South Fraser Unitarian Congregation, 13775 70 Ave. in Surrey.

printmaking process while accentuating each artist’s unique, imaginative approach to creating images in ink, said Jasmine Moore, Township of Langley arts and heritage curator. “This showcase of the talent and creativity of local and regional print artists will inspire visitors to appreciate the length printmakers go to in the creation of their artworks using pressure, paper, and ink,” Moore said. “Process/Expression: Prints/Impressions investigates the different ways artists use print media to express themselves, challenging perceptions about prints.
“And it may even inspire some new artists to take up the medium.” Featuring original and inventive approaches to the creation of print media, ranging from woodblock prints to lithography and monotypes, Process/ Expression: Prints/ Impressions spotlights artists Hannah Bennett, Darryl W. Funk, Lori Dean Dyment, Kathleen Gaitt, Edith Krause, Saskia Jetten, Milos Jones, Shinsuke Minegishi, Candice Perry Moen, Richard Tetrault, and Denise Carson Wilde. “Cutting a lino block always feels like a cathartic action, a stripping or shedding
away that produces something out of nothing,” said artist Bennett. “It is the tactility, maneuverability, and delight surrounding the process of lino printing that always calls me back. It is a humble and direct way of producing an image that expresses so much with so little.” Informative videos and educational panels are included in the exhibit to give visitors a new understanding of the creation of printed works.

Christmas food and toy drive will benefit Sophie’s Place MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
On Saturday, Nov. 28, several TV and movie actors, along with hockey stars, will gather inside the Save-On-Foods store on 64 Avenue. The likes of Canucks alumni Dave Babych, Heartland star Graham Wardle and UFC fighter and actor Jason Day are coming together for the Celebrity Christmas Food and Toy Drive to support Sophie’s Place Child Advocacy Centre. The fundraising event, which runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., is the brainchild of child sexual abuse survivors’ advocate Andy Bhatti, who felt the need to spread awareness and a little holiday cheer for children who suffer — as he did as a child. “When you are a little kid going through sexual abuse, abuse in the home or any kind of trauma, you don’t often look forward to very much,” said Bhatti. “Often for those young victims, so much of their lives are in chaos. I know from personal experience. “So I thought about how I could raise money, toys and food for these kids. Wouldn’t it be great if we could give these kids something to look forward to? “I grew up poor and as difficult as Christmas was, I did look forward to getting that hamper, knowing there were gifts for me and food.” He spoke to several celebrities he knows about his idea and they all jumped on board, he said. Save-On-Foods is handing out more than 7,000 flyers with people’s groceries to promote the free event. Every person who brings a non-perishable food item and unwrapped toy will be entered into a draw to win a jersey signed by NHL superstars and Stanley Cup winners like Ted Lindsay, Rod Langway, Johnny Bower and Darryl Sittler. Bhattie estimates that the jersey is valued at around $3,500. Langley Chrysler has donated a Wii U as a prize and Shoppers Drug Mart has donated a gift basket. The donation also gets people a photo of the stars, which they are happy to sign on site. “It’s going to be a really great day. It’s an opportunity to spread awareness about support for survivors of sexual abuse. “It’s a way for me to show them that they aren’t alone and that there is support and help out there if they want to reach out.” Bhatti, winner of a Courage to Come Back award, was sexually abused from the ages of nine to 13. He broke free from the abuse, fleeing into a world of heavy drug use and homelessness, sleeping on the streets of Aldergrove and the Downtown Eastside, using heroin by the age of 15. Bhatti didn’t tell anyone about the abuse at the time; it was a police officer who helped him talk about it later in life.

Andy Bhatti holds up a jersey signed by a number of NHL stars. On Nov. 28, at Bhatti’s food and toy drive for Sophie’s Place, someone will win the jersey, which Bhatti estimates is valued at $3,500. By then, his attacker, Joseph Baker, had been convicted of sexually abusing two boys in Kamloops. Bhatti has been clean for nine years, helped by years of counselling and group therapy. He has started his own charity, Survivors Supporting Survivors, and is now a trained interventionist with ASL — Intervention and Addiction Services — helping kids across Canada. In the summer, he biked across Newfoundland to raise awareness and funds there after getting a call from a mother desperate for help for her young son who had been abused. There are no centres like Sophie’s Place in that province. Langley has its own division of Sophie’s Place, now open through the Langley Children Development Centre, which Bhatti said is helping many local kids who have suffered sexual abuse.

TILE TIP: If your tiles look hazy, you might be dealing with soapy residue. Remove the film with a nonabrasive all-purpose cleaner. You could also try a mild acid -- such as fresh lemon juice -- on ceramic tiles (but never on marble). Rinse thoroughly with clean water, and buff dry with a clean lint-free cloth. Be kind to your knees and dry tiles the easy way: by using your foot to slide the cloth over the floor. ESTIMATES Q CONSULTATION Q INSTALLATION Q DO IT YOURSELF N NEW LOCATIO

RECIPE CONTEST
Brussels Sprouts are a vegetable that has a long reputation of being detested by some yet it is a staple at most holiday meals. We decided it was time to shine a spotlight on this misunderstood vegetable. Do you have a Brussels Sprout recipe that has become a family favorite? Subm itted ph oto
Volunteers spent several hours in early November cleaning and repainting dozens of plywood cut-outs for this year’s Christmas in Williams Park. Organizers are now getting ready for the big set-up day on Saturday, Nov. 28, and they’re hoping a large contingent of volunteers will come and help out.
Christmas in Williams Park committee needs volunteers
Over the past quarter century, Christmas in Williams Park has become one of Langley Township’s most anticipated holiday celebrations. The tradition that each year transforms the Langley park into a magical winter wonderland, has been delighting visitors since 1990. This year, Christmas in Williams Park turns 25, and organizers are looking for a little help to stage a spectacular drive-through light display to celebrate the season and mark the milestone. The event, which runs every night from Dec. 7 to 19, from 5:30 to 9 p.m., will feature
brand new lights and displays, and a festive collection of plywood cut-outs that have been touched up by group of talented volunteer artists. The Christmas in Williams Park Committee is looking for a number of holiday-spirited volunteers to help with the event’s set-up and take-down, string up lights, do some electrical work, and greet park visitors. Christmas in Williams Park set-up days are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The take-down date is scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 20 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Greeters are needed from
Monday, Dec. 7 to Saturday, Dec. 19 from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Last year, Christmas in Williams Park was temporarily cancelled after thieves made off with around $10,000 worth of lights. A then nine-year-old Sara Walmsley started a campaign to save the light display she loved so much. Thousands of dollars were raised and volunteers came together, and by Dec. 11, the event was back on again. For more information and to sign up, contact Hannah Bennett at 604-533-6090, ext. 5010, or hbennett@tol.ca. Williams Park is located at 238 Street and 68 Avenue.

Tournament volunteers needed to bring community together Surrey is hosting the Women’s World Softball Championship next summer — July, 2016 at Softball City — and organizers are looking for volunteers to help carry the event across the finish line.
Or rather, across the starting line. Volunteers will join up with the championship’s organizing committee to work and prepare for the games, and there will be ongoing recruitment to find
new volunteers over the coming months. “It truly takes a village to pull off an event of this calibre, and I am looking forward to working with all of the volunteers who believe in this
event,” said tournament chairman Greg Timm, in a November release. “Year after year, I see individuals both young and old stepping forward to commit their time and energy to
women’s softball. “It brings the community together, and helps create the premier event that it has become.” Surrey has been the home of the Canadian Open fastpitch cham-
pionship, formerly known as the Canada Cup, for several years now, hosting the tournament at Softball City. (That’s the “premier event” Timm is referencing above.) The Canadian Open

is a big deal. But the World Championship is a very big deal — the largest women’s fastpitch tournament in the world, expecting over 2,000 athletes and 500 games over 10 days — and the City is rallying to throw its biggest-ever team sporting event. “We will be injecting a lot of energy into making those fields the best the world has ever seen,” said Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, in October. “I’m really excited because it’s going to showcase Surrey... to have it here in Surrey, I’m very proud that it’s going to be here, and I’m anxious to welcome the world.” And it’s not just new for the city, to host a tournament of this size, influence, and magnitude. It’ll also be a new trial for the World Championships — Timm said he expects 30 international teams to play in the tournament, nearly double the event’s normal 16. Surrey will be hosting the best of the best athletes of one of the world’s most popular sports, and they need a workforce to knock it out of the park — pun absolutely intended. The committee is looking to hire a Chair of Team Hosting, onsite assistance and game production initiatives, as well as general volunteers. “Applicants are asked to be passionate about their role and able to provide references to attest to a committed and strong work ethic,” reads the World Championships’ release. “As advocates representing women in sport all over the world, the goal is to unite the diverse members of our global community,” it continues, saying that “proficiency in any other languages” is a welcome skill. “It’s been a great learning effort for everybody and we really think we’re going to run a tournament here that the world has never seen,” said Timm, in an interview with Black Press last month. “We’re inviting the world. “It’s amazing to me, I find it a phenomenon, how hard everybody is working.” Those interested in volunteering, or purchasing tickets, can do so on the tournament’s website at www.Surrey2016.com.

We Treat Your Feet from the Inside Out
Protect your loved ones According to Fraser Health’s website, this year local hospitals are requesting visitors to get a flu shot or wear a mask when visiting patients during the flu season (December 2015-March 2016) By following this policy, you will help to protect your loved ones and the people you are visiting, from getting a potentially serious illness. This year’s vaccine contains four components fighting four unique strains of the virus. There are many variables for you to obtain a free seasonal flu shot, from being over 65 or visiting people in care and long term care facilities, health care and first responders, pregnant women, and healthy children from 6 months to less than 5 years of age. Check the Fraser Health website (fraserhealth.ca) for more information about your qualifications for a free vaccine. Valley Evergreen Pharmacy can provide you with a flu shot. You don’t even have to make an appointment, (but you can) Drop-ins are available during working hours. What can you expect from this year’s flu shot? Most health professionals say the flu shot
doesn’t hurt any more than a typical vaccine. Some people may experience a little soreness around the injection site, but that should pass within 24 hours. You may have a sort of mild-flu like symptoms. It’s generally an indication that your body is really starting to react strongly to the virus - so when the real virus comes along later, you’ll probably not going to get sick at all. “I do strongly support people getting it,� says Dr. Patricia Mirwaldt, board member of the BC College of Family Physicians. “The more people who get it, the less susceptibility there is in the population.� Of course, it’s always wise to exercise sensible preventative activities, such as washing your hands frequently, disposing of used tissues in waste baskets; coughing/sneezing into shirt sleeves rather than your hands; staying home when ill, keeping common areas clean and disinfected and heating healthy foods to keep your immune system strong.

...get a u shot and don’t go viral! Conveniently located on the corner of Douglas Crescent and 206 Street, Valley Evergreen Pharmacy is in the same building as the BC Biomedical Lab and the XRay clinic. Owned and operated by the Kitson family for over 45 years (opened in November 1969), they started with a small dispensary and in 2003 grew to include a wide range of medical equipment. In the past year, numerous drug stores have sprung up in Langley but Valley Evergreen Pharmacy is different from the rest. With extraordinary customer service, this pharmacy stands head and shoulders above all the new kids on the block. Valley Evergreen Pharmacy also differs from the rest because they have opted out of the provincial methadone dispensing program, and they do not have the “big boxâ€? approach to their relationship with their customers. The pharmacy is committed to being your one stop for everything you’ll need for home health care — wound care, health and wellness products, specialized bandages, compres-
sion stockings and more. They also supply a full range of knee and ankle braces, back supports and removable cast boots for fractures, sprains, and other supportive devices for sport and other injuries. We care about our seniors! “When you come in to visit us, you’ll also find we carry one of the largest selections you’ll find for walkers, wheelchairs and a whole range of bath and shower stools and chairs.� The last Saturday of the month is Seniors Saturday. Seniors receive a 20% discount on all items and equipment (excluding prescriptions) The store is open from 9 until 6 Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 on Saturday and closed Sundays and holidays.

Rivermen knock off No. 1 Vees Penticton was riding 23-game winning streak before falling to Langley 4-2 GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s
It may have just been a regular season victory as the BCHL season nears the midway point, but it felt a just a little bit extra special for the Langley Rivermen. That’s what happens when you knock off the top-ranked junior A hockey club in the country, a team which was riding an impressive 23-game winning streak, having not lost since opening night back in September. But Langley’s Max Kaufman scored a power-play goal with 80 seconds to play, snapping a 2-2 tie with the Penticton Vees on Friday night at the Langley Events Centre. Torrin White added an empty-netter and the Rivermen won 4-2. “It was a fun one,” said Langley coach and general manager Bobby Henderson, referring to the buzz in the building. “It was a real character builder. “For them to put it all together and beat Penticton was a pretty big confidence builder for our group.” The Rivermen entered
the game with just one win in their past six games, and even that victory required a third-period rally to secure the ‘W’. “We were very methodical in our game. They weren’t too excited, but played with energy, focused,” Henderson said. “They did a good job of limiting their mistakes and they were opportunistic and took care of their scoring chances.” Zac Masson had opened the scoring but Penticton tied things up before intermission on a goal from Tyson Jost. Scott Conway gave the Vees a 2-1 lead in the second before Dominic Franco’s power-play marker tied it less than two minutes later. Bo Didur finished with 27 saves for the win. This was one of two weekend home wins for Langley as they won by an identical 4-2 score the next night against the Trail Smoke Eaters. The Rivermen trailed 2-1 after 40 minutes — Kienan Scott scored twice for Trail, while new Rivermen defenceman Troy Ring

White scored into
the empty net for a second straight game. Nickolas Trenciansky made 28 saves for the win. “Really, the weekend
would have been spoiled if they didn’t get the two points on Saturday,” Henderson said. “I thought we got progressively better
and the game wore on.” Langley will look for a fourth straight win when they host Surrey tomorrow (Thursday).
Gators mark return with Fraser Valley title
GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s
Welcome back Walnut Grove. For the past three years, the Gators senior boys have not even fielded a volleyball team. But 2015 is a new year and the Gators marked their return to the volleyball field by capturing the 3A senior boys Fraser Valley championship banner. And the team did so in spectacular fashion, rallying from a two sets to none deficit against the Fraser Heights Firehawks to win three sets to two.

erside Secondary. Coach Gary Lutes’ message to the team before the third set was simple. “I told the team we could go home or fight and see what happens,” he said. “The big thing in volleyball is if you can put stress on the other team, then you can put them of rhythm,” Lutes said. “Either a team does that you or you do it to yourself and earlier, we were doing it to ourselves. “We were finally starting to put pressure on them.” The Gators won a close third set to stay alive and then took

They may have lost the first three head-to-head match-ups this season, but the Credo Christian Kodiaks were determined not to let their long run atop the Fraser Valley end in 2015. The Kodiaks were down one set to zero against the rival Abbotsford Christian Knights in the Fraser Valley 1A senior boys volleyball championship game. The game was played at Abbots-
set four to force a fifth and deciding set. But after rallying to win the previous two sets, the Gators found themselves two points away from losing. “Being down 13-9 in the fifth set, that is not normally a recipe for success,” Lutes said. Walnut Grove scored five of the next six points to knot the set at 14, and then closed things out for the school’s first senior boys Fraser Valley banner since 2001. It marks a huge accomplishment for a school which hasn’t fielded a senior boys team the past couple of years. And the

And not only was the gold medal at stake, but so too was the Kodiaks string of 10 consecutive Fraser Valley banners. You can make that 11 now. The Kodiaks won the next three sets to defeat the Knights for the first time this season. “Winning the Fraser Valley title was a pretty big deal,” said Credo coach Stanley De Haan.

The Gators also qualified for the B.C. 3A senior boys provincial championships, which will be held at the Langley Events Centre next week (Dec. 2 to 5). “One of the things we have always talked about is it is not where you start, it is where you finish,” Lutes said. “And we know we have a lot of room to grow and improve and that is what it has steadily been.”
“We didn’t want to be the ones to break the streak.” Setter Nathan Vandergriendt earned most valuable player honours while Spencer Pruim (middle) and Seth Vandergugten (power) were named all-stars. Before the match, De Haan said his message was simple. “I just told them to play a clean game and we will be fine,” he said. “And enjoy it. Just have some fun.” The season hasn’t been the smoothest of rides.
Walnut Grove was the second seed for the Fraser Valleys and beat No. 7 Riverside 3-0 and then No. 3 Delta 3-1 to reach the finals. Fraser Heights was the fourth seed and knocked off Earl Marriott — the top seed — in the other semifinal. “It has been lots of battles to try and minimize our errors and keep the runs that teams get on us,” Lutes said. “But we are still letting teams get too many runs on us and we are getting ourselves in a hole and having to fight back, which is what we did last night.”
“We have had our ups and downs; sometimes we are on, sometimes we are off,” he said. “But we have definitely been getting better as the season goes on.” Credo Christian doesn’t have much time to rest on their laurels of yet another Fraser Valley banner as they return to Abbotsford Christian for the B.C. 1A provincial championships. The tournament runs Nov. 26 to 28 and the Kodiaks look to improve on last year’s fourth-place finish.

WHY DO I HEAR BUT NOT UNDERSTAND?
Lightning second at Valleys GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
Considering how up and down the season has been, the Langley Christian Lightning are thrilled with a second-place finish at the Fraser Valley championships. “We are really happy with how the season has come along and how they have progressed,” said Lightning coach Micah Jansen Van Doorn. “We have come a long way and fought a lot of adversity so to be able to get silver is a huge stepping stone.” The Lightning lost in the championship game of the 2A senior boys Fraser Valley championships last week to the MEI Eagles, the province’s top-ranked squad. The championships were held Nov. 16 to 18 at Abbotsford Christian School. Langley Christian — which began the season ranked sixth — is seeded second for next’s week’s provincial championships, which will be played Dec. 2 to 5 at the Langley Events Centre. Also joining the Lightning at provincials will be the Langley Fundamental Titans, who finished fourth at Fraser Valleys and are seeded fifth.
Jansen Van Doorn said the middle part of the season was especially challenging as the team did not play up to their standards. “The guys, for their age, were very mature about it. “They just made a conscious decision to expect excellence all the time, just to be better during practice and games,” he said. “And then it was on us to hold them to that standard.” Setter Brennan Gardner and libero Brandon Visscher were selected allstars for Langley Christian. The Titans are excited to play at provincials. “It should be fun,” said coach Dan Johnson. “We have a strong team but are in a tough league.” During the regular season, MEI was the clear-cut No. 1 while Langley Christian, Langley Fundamental and Pacific Academy were tied for second after taking turns defeating one another. The Titans were seeded second for playoffs on a tiebreaker but lost to the Lightning in the semifinals and then Pacific Academy in the bronze medal game.

Kodiaks need to win wild-card tourney to continue Credo Christian senior girls in three-team playoff for final berth to B.C. provincial championships GARY AHUJA Times Sports
A minor setback means the Credo Christian Kodiaks have a bit more work to do in order to fulfill their goal of qualifying for
the provincial championships. The senior girls 1A volleyball team suffered an upset semifinal loss last week (Nov. 18) to Highroad Academy.
“It was a very tough loss for them,” admitted Credo coach Marika Togeretz. “I believe that the girls could’ve played a lot better than they did and that was the hardest part for them. “We didn’t fight for the win like I know they could have and we didn’t have a great offensive game and that is what affected us the

most.” The top two teams from the Fraser Valleys qualified for the provincial championships while the third-place finisher faces a threeteam round-robin with the winner also advancing. The Kodiaks made sure they earned a spot in that mini tourney by making quick work of the Southpointe Titans

3-0 (26-24,25-13,25-12) on Nov. 19. “We really pulled together and worked well as a team and with that, brought some really good plays,” Togeretz said. “I was really proud of the girls; I think they really showed themselves and played well as a team. They didn’t let the prior night’s loss affect how they played.” “I was happy to see they left the loss behind them.” The team is 16-13 on the season. The Kodiaks are on Vancouver Island today (Wednesday) at Duncan Christian for the wild-card tournament. The winner moves on to the B.C. provincial championships in Castlegar from Dec. 3 to 5. “In order to win, we will need to continue to play as we did on Thursday night,” Togeretz said. “As long as we work together, we can accomplish what we set out to do.” Credo Christian’s Jaylene Stam earned an all-star award at Fraser Valleys.

While first place is always the goal, a second-place showing is not too shabby, considering the circumstances. That is the situation the Langley Christian Lighting senior girls find themselves in. “Realistically, we are definitely happy with second in the Fraser Valley,” said Lightning coach Lisa Bontkes. “Pacific Academy, I think they have lost one game all season.” Pacific Academy — which also hosted Fraser Valleys — defeated Langley Christian in the gold medal game of the Fraser Valley 2A senior girls volleyball championships last week. The Breakers won three sets to none. “We definitely came out of the gate really slow,” Bontkes said. Continued Page 31

The Lightning — which fell to 0-4 against Pacific Academy this season — had their best shot at winning a set in the third, but lost 31-29. Langley Christian advanced to the finals after beating the MEI Eagles in five sets the night before. The Lightning were seeded third for the Valleys and after beating No. 6 Southridge in the quarter-finals, they upset No. 2 MEI in a five-set semifinal victory. Bontkes coached the team at the junior level last year as Langley Christian won the provincial title. This is the Lightning’s first year at the 2A level after the school’s enrollment numbers went up, prompting the move from 1A. The team will play at the provincial championships Dec. 3 to 5 at George Elliot Secondary in Lake Country. Langley Fundamental was also competing at Fraser Valleys, losing to Southridge in the sixth/ seventh place game. The Titans were seeded seventh coming in.

LLOYD
March 29, 1954 - November 20, 2015 Kevin Patrick Lloyd passed away peacefully at his home, November 20, 2015 at the age of 61. Beloved husband of Karen for 23 years, devoted father of Patrick and Kathleen, and dear brother of Oonagh. Lovingly remembered by nephews and nieces, Jonathon, Emily (son Liam), and Katherine (daughter Bryn) Featherstone, and Sarah, Meagan, and David Hill, mother-in-law Anne Hill (Karl, deceased), brother-in-law Derek Hill (Janet), and Ron Featherstone. He was predeceased by his parents Lawrence and Eileen Lloyd. He will be fondly remembered by friends, colleagues and students. Kevin was born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan in 1954. His family moved to Blue River and then to Port Coquitlam where he attended Mary Hill Junior Secondary and Centennial High School. An accomplished man, Kevin attained an Associate Diploma in Arts, Red Seal certification in Heavy Duty Mechanics and Millwright, and a Bachelor’s degree in Education from UBC. His careers included 13 years as a heavy duty mechanic at CN Rail and later as a Technology Education teacher specializing in Automotive for 20 years at Robert Bateman Secondary School in Abbotsford. Kevin met his wife Karen in 1991 and married a year later. Children Patrick and Katie soon followed and they made a home in Langley BC. He was passionate and dedicated to providing for his family. Kevin enjoyed playing guitar, building computers, completing ‘endless’ projects around the house, and working with cars, wood and metal. Two of Kevin’s greatest passions were helping people and playing pranks, and his notoriety was legendary in the halls of Robert Bateman Secondary. Everyone’s guard was always up for “Lloyd.” Kevin was always ready and willing to make someone’s life a little bit easier and lighter through his selflessness and his great sense of humour and fun. This, along with his caring nature earned him the love and respect of his students, colleagues and friends. A facebook page in Kevin’s honour called ‘Kevin Lloyd Remembered’ has been created for people to share memories and stories. A special thank-you to Dr. Richard Blackmore and staff, as well as Dr. Sharon Duncan and the palliative nursing team in Langley. A Celebration of Life will take place on Sunday, November 29, 2015 at 1:00 p.m., held at the Langley Golf and Banquet Centre, 21550 44th Ave, Langley BC. If desired, donations may be made to the Kevin Lloyd Memorial Scholarship via the Abbotsford Community Foundation or the Canadian Pancreatic Cancer Society. (http://www.pancreaticcancercanada.ca)

HELP WANTED
James Taylor McRobbie June 17, 1947 – November 10, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jim after a lengthy struggle with cancer. Jim was born on June 17, 1947 in Edinburgh, Scotland. At nine months of age he travelled across the Atlantic with his mother and older brother on the Queen Mary to New York then onto Vancouver via Montreal by train. He grew up in Burnaby and then in the early sixties they made Sullivan in Surrey their home. He graduated from Lord Tweedsmuir Seconday School in 1966. Jim was the original findologist. He enjoyed the “hunt” so to speak in finding anything for his family and friends particularly car stuff. He loved tinkering in his shop, having shop parties with his friends who all were fond lovers of old cars and trucks, collecting memorabilia and restoring antiques. He absolutely loved going to car swap meets, “greyline tours,” driving his 1939 COE Chevy Truck when he had it and driving his 1962 Corvair Rampside…his pride and joy. Jim retired from the Township of Langley where he had worked for over 30 years and where he met a lot of lifelong friends. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Wendy. Children Billy (Daena), Gerald, Shane (Aimee) and Holly (Cory). Six grandchildren Griffin, Tallis, Olivia, Liam, Grayson and James. Brothers George (Susan), Ian (Debbie) and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his Dad Arthur and Mother Jessie. Special thanks to his family physician Dr. Kenneth Ng, Dr. Sharon Duncan and Dr. Carl Brown. The Pallative care nurses in Langley and The Langley Hospice. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation for Colorectal Research or the Langley Hospice Society. A celebration of Jim’s life will be held on December 12, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. at the George Preston Recreation Centre, 20699 – 42 Avenue, Langley, B.C.
