Storm brings down 100-year-old tree Near miss for Langley City home as wind uproots large Douglas fir M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
A huge Douglas fir, described as a heritage tree, managed to miss two houses and two cars when it came crashing down during Sunday night’s windstorm. “It sounded like a bomb went off,” said Ron Trainor of the tree that fell between his home and his neighbour’s at 208 Street and 48 Avenue. “My wife and I had just gone to bed,” he said. “We then heard this big bang.” The only damage is to his neighbour’s fence. The tree is more than 100 years old, said Trainor. “We are very lucky. That tree would have taken out half our house if it fell towards us,” he said. A five-foot hole is all that remains where the tree’s root system once was. Trainor credits BC Hydro crews for arriving quickly to clear the road that was completely blocked by the tree. “BC Hydro were incredibly quick on the job and the tree was so heavy they had to buck it into a half a dozen pieces to get it off the road,” he said. Trainor has lived in the neighbourhood for 14 years but hasn’t seen any major trees fall until now. He points out that last summer’s drought led to dry root systems not being able to hold trees down in the wind. Continued Page 3

Ron Trainor’s evening was interrupted by the collapse of a huge heritage tree in his front yard on 48 Avenue near 208 Street in Langley. The big tree managed to miss his house and cars on the street, but it did damage a neighbour’s fence and took out utility wires.
Pair arrested in parkade following armed robberies M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
A 25-year-old Langley woman and her 29-year-old accomplice were arrested Saturday night in an underground parking lot in Langley, charged with two armed robberies that took place in Maple Ridge. Shortly after 10 p.m. on Nov. 26, police observed a stolen vehicle
in a parking lot in downtown Maple Ridge. Two suspects got into the vehicle and drove off, while being watched by the Air One police helicopter. The vehicle drove to an underground parking lot in Langley, and the two suspects were arrested shortly after leaving the car. Police determined the vehicle had been reported stolen in a car
jacking in Surrey on Nov. 17. The investigation determined that the man and woman had allegedly been involved in two Maple Ridge robberies earlier in the week. On Nov. 24, a Maple Ridge restaurant was held up and an undisclosed amount of money and an employee’s phone were stolen. On the afternoon of Nov. 25, similarly described suspects

The star of the show arrives, accompanied by one of his elves, during the Magic of Christmas parade in Langley City. Despite heavy rains the annual celebration drew hundreds of people to the downtown core on Saturday evening.
Storm keeps emergency crews hopping From Page 1
He’s a bit worried about the two other trees on his property and is expecting a Township arborist will be by to see how those are going to fair in the next storm expected to hit this week. Wind gusts in Langley are reported to have reached more than 100 km/hour, downing wires, trees and branches all over the municipality. Several people and a dog are lucky to have escaped injury after trees came down on their moving cars during Sunday night’s windstorm. Around 9 p.m., a man and woman and their dog were trapped after a tree fell onto their moving vehicle in the 20900 block of 96 Avenue.
B.C. Hydro arrived to cut power to the live wires and then firefighters helped them out of their vehicle, which was heavily damaged. Around 9:30 p.m., a man called 911 after being trapped in his vehicle at 198 Street and 80 Avenue when a tree fell onto his moving vehicle. Township firefighters rescued the man after B.C. Hydro turned off power to the live wires. No one was injured in either incident. According to Township fire chief Stephen Gamble, crews from most fire halls were busy on Sunday night handling calls. Firefighters went out to nine calls of downed wires, 13 public works calls for trees down, one minor car crash and three Hydro poles on fire. A tree fell on a house at 207 and 38A Av-
enue, puncturing the roof and crushing a canopy in the backyard. Environment Canada said another storm is expected to hit and may bring more strong winds. According to BC Hydro, if you are involved in a crash involving a power pole and live wires, the best solution is to drive out from under the wires if you are able to do so safely. Travel at least a bus length before stopping. Otherwise, stay put and wait for help. If you have to get out, jump from the vehicle by standing up, tucking your elbows into your body with hands to chest, taking care to land with both feet together and touching, don’t stumble. Shuffle your feet, don’t run or jump, as you move away from the vehicle.

A Langley man and his dog may not be home for Christmas after a fire erupted in his bedroom during Sunday night’s windstorm and power outage. When the power went out, the Fernridge resident lit a candle and placed it on his night stand. He fell asleep and woke to see flames crawling up his bedroom wall. The man received some burns trying to put out the fire but is OK. He got his dog out as well. Township fire were called to the two-storey home at 202 Street and 36 Avenue around 1:20 a.m. According to CTV News, the resident awoke to a wall of fire in his bedroom. He apparently tried using an extinguisher and a hose to put out the flames but the intense smoke forced him to retreat. Township fire chief Stephen Gamble said the resident called 911 from a neighbour’s home. The fire was extinguished quickly but the home is uninhabitable for now, said Gamble. The Personal Disaster Assistance team has met with the home owner and he will be provided with a hotel stay and clothing. Langley was hit hard by the windstorm, with gusts downing power lines and toppling trees all over. Gamble said his fire crews were hopping all night, with two rescues after trees fell on two moving cars, nine live wires down and several power pole fires. (See related story, page 1). Despite these incidents, there were no reported injuries.

Seniors ‘overlooked’ during throne speech, says Warawa Langley-Aldergrove MP and critic for seniors responds to Friday’s address DA N FERG US ON Times R ep or ter
L a n g l ey Times f ile p hoto
Langley-Aldergrove MP Mark Warawa, shown speaking at an event earlier this year, expressed disappointment that seniors received no mention in Friday’s throne speech. Warawa is Official Opposition critic for seniors in the Conservative shadow cabinet.
The new federal government’s brief speech from the throne should have mentioned seniors, Langley-Aldergrove Conservative MP Mark Warawa said. Warawa, the Official Opposition critic for seniors, said there was no reference to older Canadians in the 15-minute address prepared by the new Liberal government and read by Governor General David Johnston to open the new session of Parliament on Friday (Dec. 4). “I am very disappointed that the government’s speech did not once mention seniors,” Warawa said in a written statement. “The Prime Minister made many promises to
Canadian seniors, but he has not appointed a minister for seniors and does not have a plan to keep those promises.” “Right now one in six Canadians is a senior. In 14 years, one in four Canadians will be a senior. Canada needs a sustainable plan for seniors that will meet their needs. “I call on the government to present a clear plan for supporting Canadian seniors.” The Liberal government speech from the throne is considered to be one of the shortest ever at less than 2,000 words. By comparison the last speech from the throne by the previous Conservative government, in 2013, was more than 7,000 words.
Langley prolific offender charged following multiple thefts of mail MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Surrey RCMP has arrested and charged a 30-year-old prolific offender from Langley for allegedly committing multiple mail thefts. It is the second arrest of its kind in a month. Last week, Surrey RCMP’s Property Crime Target Team (PCTT) began an investigation of a known criminal who was recently released after facing mail theft charges stemming from incidents in Richmond. On Nov. 23, officers arrested the man at a condo in the 20100 block of Fraser Highway after he allegedly committed numerous acts of mail theft in Langley. Several people in Brookswood and Fernridge complained last month that their mailboxes had been broken into, but it isn’t clear if the thefts are connected.
Surrey RCMP searched the suspect and his vehicle and discovered several pieces of stolen mail as well as break-in tools. Tyler Barta, a 30-year-old from Langley, has now been charged with theft of mail, possession of break-in tools and breach of recognizance. Barta was released on Wednesday on $1,000 bail and is scheduled to make his next court appearance Dec. 18. Barta is believed to be associated with another prolific offender, who Surrey RCMP recently arrested and charged with mail theft. In that case, a man and woman were arrested for mail theft at the same residence in the 20100 block of Fraser Highway. In that arrest, a search of the residence uncovered bags of stolen mail. A 24-year-old Langley woman was also found inside the residence.

Royce Heaton, 32, of Surrey was charged along with Emily Parsons, 24, of Langley. “Their arrests should also serve as a reminder to residents to take the necessary precautions, especially during the holiday season, and check your mail frequently,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. Police advise anyone who plans to be away over the holidays to consider putting their mail on hold. Further, they advise never to send cash in the mail, only money orders, and to deposit any mail containing sensitive or financial information at the local post office. They also ask residents to report any suspicious activity to police and to notify Canada Post of any overturned or vandalized mailboxes by calling 1-800-267-1177.

An attempt by CBC Vancouver to find out more about the mystery winner of a $50 million Lotto Max ticket sold in Langley has failed to uncover many new details, according to a report posted online by the broadcaster last week. After the CBC filed a request under Freedom Of Information (FOI) guidelines about the March of 2014 jackpot, it said the B.C. Lottery Corporation (BCLC) withheld 275 pages of material. CBC said the provincial gaming authority claimed the documentation would “reveal policy advice or recommendations; reveal legal advice; harm the effectiveness of investigative techniques; harm intergovernmental relations; and harm personal privacy.” According to the CBC report, BCLC indicated the process of verifying the winner was still underway, several months after someone finally stepped forward in March of this year to claim the prize. “The response (to the CBC) also says that BCLC won’t provide any more information about the claim until the verification process is concluded,” the online report stated. The CBC reported the BCLC did release a memo issued by BCLC president Jim Lightbody, who told staff to be careful about being overheard discussing the matter. “As you know, we are now in the process of verifying the rightful ticket holder and we expect that process to take some time,” Lightbody wrote in March, shortly after the anonymous person claimed the $50 million.
C o u rte s y C TV
The mystery surrounding the person who purchased a $50 million winning lottery ticket in Langley in March, 2014 remains, despite an effort by the CBC to gain access to information held by BCLC. “In the meantime, BCLC has made certain commitments to keep all information regarding the prize claim confidential until we complete our internal processes. “To meet those commitments, we need all employees to uphold our confidentiality standards: be mindful of where conversations are occurring (stay away from discussing this matter in public locations such as the parkade or local coffee shops); share information only on a ‘need-to-know’ basis.” The CBC application was not the only
attempt to use a Freedom Of Information request to find out more about the mystery winner. A report posted on the BCLC website shows an unnamed individual made a separate FOI application to find out exactly which Langley lottery distributor sold the ticket, and was denied the information. While lottery corporations usually require winners to be identified, the CBC report notes there has been at least one exception granted, in Manitoba in 2008, because the winner was in law enforcement. A lawsuit over the jackpot was filed last year, but has not yet been heard by a judge. Dalbir Sidhu was taken to court by Gayleen Rose Elliott, who is convinced that Sidhu, a co-worker who was responsible for buying tickets for a workplace lottery pool, has the winning March 14 Lotto Max ticket that was sold in Langley and is trying to avoid sharing the winnings. Elliott filed her notice of civil claim in the Vancouver B.C. Supreme Court registry on Dec. 1. of last year. In his response, filed on Dec. 19, Sidhu said he forgot to buy the tickets on March 14 but “mistakenly believed he did purchase the … tickets at a gas station in Surrey …” and didn’t realize his mistake until Elliott asked about the purchase after the $50 million prize went unclaimed. Sidhu said he checked with BCLC and none of the numbers the pool was playing were drawn on March 14. None of the allegations has been proven in court.

SPCA enters Langley dog tethering debate “Model Animal Responsibility bylaw” proposes four-hour limit D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
The B.C. SPCA says the Township of Langley should set a four-hour maximum allowable tethering time for dogs. The proposal by the provincial animal protection agency came after a Township staff review concluded time-based anti-tether regulations would be “nearly impossible to enforce, due to staff resources required and the practicality of evidence collection.” The Oct. 20 staff memo to the mayor and council warned more bylaw enforcement staff would have to be hired because an officer would have to stake out a suspected violation to prove a dog had been tethered longer than the allowed time. In a Nov. 6 letter to Township mayor and council, BC SPCA policy and outreach officer Andy Morris suggested Langley should adopt the standards of a proposed “Model Animal Responsibility bylaw” drafted by the agency, “in particular” the section that would say no person “may cause, permit or allow an animal … to be hitched, tied, or fastened to a fixed object for longer than four (4)
hours within a 24 hour period.” Morris says the SPCA recognizes “there will be difficulty” enforcing the tethering ban, but goes on to suggest the municipality could use the approach applied to noise bylaws “such as a time-stamped video or visits.” Failing that, Morris suggests Langley could do what New Westminster does and simply ban tethering unattended dogs, calling it “the most easily enforceable bylaw.” Coun. Charlie Fox bristled at the unsolicited suggestions when the letter was discussed during the Nov. 23 afternoon meeting of Township council, noting that the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) is in charge of enforcing the animal control bylaw (in both the City and the Township of Langley) not the SPCA, which looks after animal cruelty cases province-wide. “Who asked for these suggestions?” Fox said. “I think they’ve (the SPCA) gone a little too far here.” The SPCA letter and model bylaw have been referred to staff for assessment and a report back to council. The tethering issue was

B.C. SPCA has weighed in on the debate about whether a dog tethering bylaw should be enacted in the Township of Langley. raised by Aldergrove resident Callie McHardy in June, when she told council she was “surprised” to learn there was no anti-tether bylaw in Langley. McHardy said she discovered that when she tried to get help for a dog near her home. “There’s a dog that’s always chained up,” McHardy said. A review last year by Langley City’s manager of legislative services, Carolyn Mushata, found tethering re-
strictions would be “extremely difficult to enforce” and “almost impossible to monitor.” Mushata’s report warned restricting outdoor tethering “may lead to even worse confinement conditions within the interior of the home, making the situation almost impossible to address.” Mushata said LAPS receives one or two complaints a month about tethered or chained dogs in both the City and Township.

December a great time to think local If, like a majority of people in the Western world, you have an email account, your inbox was likely filled with advertising during the last week or two. People found their accounts inundated with ads for online Black Friday sales, followed closely by even more ads for Cyber Monday sales, promising even bigger and better deals. While we all like a deal and, yes, it can be a real time-saver to order from the comfort of your living room, you know what’s missing from that equation? Local. For many local businesses, the holidays can be a “make it or break it” season. Retail businesses depend on consumers spending extra money at this time of year. The more cash that flows outside of the community — be it online or to surrounding communities — the harder it is for businesses in the community to remain profitable. The idea of shop local has been stressed in the past, but that sentiment is never more important than it is each December. If consumers make the effort to spend just a portion of their holiday budget in their own community, it can make a huge difference. Local merchants have a lot to offer. Sometimes, we forget that and allow ourselves to be lured elsewhere by the promise of a better deal. But when you make the choice to shop local, you are supporting neighbours and, in doing so, helping to stimulate the local economy with funds that are more likely to be reinvested here, rather than sending cash out of town, out of province or even out of the country, where it does nothing to help the community. — Black Press

care less what a stranger thinks about me. But I can’t imagine what that kind of nastiness would have done to my fragile teenage psyche. The sad truth is, it’s not just teenagers who engage in this type of behaviour. Not too long ago, I made the mistake of sharing what I thought was a humorous take on some topic or other, being discussed online. It took only seconds for another adult (I presume) with whom I’d never had any previous contact to flame me. A short while later, someone else jumped to defend me, shooting a few poison daggers of her own at my critic. I don’t know what happened after that because, by then, I was long gone — probably quizzing myself on Sporcle or looking up a new recipe for Brussels sprouts or something. It’s a sad fact that the web contains no shortage of dark corners where trolls lurk, waiting to unleash their vitriol on unsuspecting strangers. Luckily, if you don’t have the strength (or feel the urge) to face them down, all it takes to shut them up — or at least out — is a few quick keystrokes or clicks of a mouse. When it comes to the internet, there are always literally millions of better places to be.

Township’s finances are out of control
Motorcycle noise worse than jake brakes
Editor: Langley Township finances are out of control. Consider this: the average tax increase over the past five years has been 3.19 per cent, per annum. Over the same five years, the average water levy increase has been 6.71 per cent, the average sewer levy increase has been 3.09 per cent and the average solid waste levy increase has been 7.57 per cent. This has happened when the B.C. consumer price index average increase has only been one per cent, per annum. Total staffing payroll and council cost increases for 2010-2014 have averaged 4.75 per cent, per annum. The number of staff making over $100,000 per annum has increased 90 per cent from 61 staff members to 116. There are several people making over $200,000. Oh, to be an employee of the Township – how sweet is that? Does your income go up three, five or seven per cent, per annum? Not likely, but this is what the Township is foisting upon the taxpayers of this community in the form of increased taxes and levies. We simply cannot afford these kinds of increases. It is just too easy for councils to increase taxes and levies with little effort to control costs. The Township is taxing people out of their homes and businesses. TERRY CHRISTIE, LANGLEY
Most can only dream of municipal wages, benefits Editor: Are our property taxes perhaps facing a large increase due to the fact Langley Township municipal workers’ contract is once again up for renewal and probably currently in negotiations? This union has enjoyed substantial wage increases over the last 10 years and have a benefit/ pension plan that most of can only dream of. A cashier at a recreation centre currently enjoys a wage of between $20.21 to $23.61 — very generous pay for what the job entails, in my humble opinion. Municipal governments have not been reining in wage increases and benefits like the provincial and federal governments have. It’s time for Langley Township to do the same. KAREN CAMERON, LANGLEY
Child poverty stats in article are misleading Editor: Your article Child poverty in B.C. at ‘crisis’ level (The Times, Dec. 2) continues to promote the misleading agenda of First Call BC Child Advocacy Coalition. This group uses misleading statistics to promote their cause. Like most other “poverty” groups they us the Statistics Canada Low Income Measure “LIM” as a measure of poverty. It is not a measure of poverty. It is a measure of low income. There is a huge difference. The LIM is defined by Statistics Canada as follows: In simple terms, the LIM is a fixed percentage (50 per cent) of median adjusted econom-
ic family income, where “adjusted” indicates that family needs are taken into account. What this means is that approximately 25 per cent of Canadian families fall in the low-income category. The percentage of poor Canadians cannot change if this measure is used because by definition it determines that people earning half of the median income are poor. If people at the bottom end of the income scale all were to earn more, then the median income would go up, but using this Statistics Canada definition a similar percentage of people would continue to be defined as “poor.” In the Township of Langley the median household in-
come is about $100,000 per year (2006 data adjusted to 2015). Using this number someone with a family income below $50,000 is in the low-income bracket. It is correct to say a family earning below $50,000 may be poor. They are not living in poverty. It does not matter what the government does, there will always be 20 per cent to 25 per cent of the population who are poor. We all need to help those less well off than ourselves but throwing around misleading statistics does not help. DAVID NIELSEN, WALNUT GROVE
Editor: I agree with the letter writer Kevin Staples, (The Times, Nov. 11) complaining about the noise coming from engine brakes used too often by commercial drivers. By doing so, they try to save their foot brakes as much as possible, when going downhill, for example. O w n e r- o p e ra t o r s , especially, do it; company drivers not as much. Personally, however, I find motorcycle noise more irritating than jake brake noise. JERZY RUDOWSKI, LANGLEY
At least four years of embarrassment to be borne under Trudeau’s government Editor: “We Stand on Guard for Thee” (except under Justin’s federal Liberals). The advantage seniors have when choosing a government is that they have experienced living in Canada under most parties. In my case, under the Liberals when Justin’s father, Pierre, was the prime minister; the Progressive Conservatives — different from the Conservatives — under Brian Mulroney; the Liberals under Jean Chretien and then under Paul Martin (and two insignificant prime ministers). So this particular senior held his nose in October and voted Conservative, in spite of the apparent shortcomings. I was disappointed with the election results accordingly. But then I thought, Justin’s Liberal party may well be different from those
of the past, so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. But a month in office has passed and Justin has shown Canadians that political correctness has returned to Ottawa with a vengeance and that Canada will now shirk its world obligations and abandon its allies by withdrawing the few CF-18 fighter jets it has committed to fight ISIS in the Middle East. This in the wake of a Russian commercial airliner brought down, apparently by ISIS, in which several hundred civilians died, and the actions in Paris, in which 129 innocent people were slaughtered by ISIS terrorists. And this when Canada’s allies are looking to increase their military input in this “War on Terror.” Déjà vu, or what? From my experience with the Federal
Liberals of the past, I predict that Justin’s Liberals will furthermore do the following: 1. Mess with the Constitution; 2. Show favoritism to Quebec; 3. Gut the military; 4. Enhance the CBC; 5. Inhibit the RCMP and CSIS; 6. Reduce the transfer payments to the provinces for healthcare; 7. Ensure that federal prisoners have more rights than their victims, and 8. A (US) 64 cent Canadian dollar., In the meantime, I will have to grit my teeth and just bear the embarrassment for this country for at least the next four years. GORD WEITZEL, LANGLEY

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has released the latest update to the B.C. Liberal government’s “strategic growth plan” for farm and food products. After reporting a record $12.3 billion in total agriculture and agri-food sales in B.C. for 2014, the latest plan sets a new goal of increasing it to $15 billion by 2020. It’s mostly a status quo plan, continuing current marketing efforts and encouraging higher-value production of a wider range of products. The ministry intends to hire its first expert in food and beverage production. It’s a reflection of the fact that fully 70 per cent of that $12.3 billion comes from food and beverage processing. This continues the government’s push to improve economic viability of farms by allowing more food product manufacturing and sales on Agricultural Land Reserve property. Letnick says another key strategy is to improve access to irrigation. B.C. has 20,000 farm operations, a number that’s holding steady even as the average age of farmers increases. Opposition MLAs formed their own agriculture committee to tour the province over the past year, chaired by NDP agriculture

Evelyn is a Spanish teacher/English student there. Our Save-a-Bag program allows you to donate to one of three charities we support (one local, one provincial,
and one global). Each token is worth $.05. Locally we’re involved with everything from the Power of the Purse fundraiser, the Langley Christmas Bureau; local church groups, the BC Realtors Blanket Drive, and the Christmas Pajama drive and our Give Twice Promotion - Purchase gifts for Christmas that give twice, by considering “give back” brands such as Toms, 31 Bits, Half United and more that we offer in the store. Just ask us, and check out our Facebook page or Instagram for ongoing and upcoming events @unikalife. It’s been an exciting career path for Alison and Paul, from crafting jewelry, to HR and training with Internet companies, business startup consulting, carpentry, timber framing and restaurant ownership. Combining all their passions and experience they set off to concept, design, build and develop Unika to what you see today, a beautiful showcase of caring companies, beautiful decor, and passionate people. As one of their happy customers shares, “I love shopping here over other stores, because it’s always an adventure”. It’s an adventure that makes you feel good inside and look good at the same time.

We wish Beppie a long and happy retirement!

She said over the past thirty-five years she has done some cashiering, helped out in the meat department and survived a few renovations.

Winner
We would like to congratulate our Retail Division Manager Mike Will, as he has been recognized for a couple of awards this past month. One as a rising star in the Canadian Grocery Industry, and has been presented with the “Generation Next Award.” This award goes out to retailers under 40 who demonstrate leadership, a commitment to the grocery industry, and involvement in the industry in their community. This award is Canada wide. Not only will Mike be highlighted at the Golden Pencil Awards in Toronto, he will also be featured in an upcoming edition of the Canadian Grocer magazine. Mike was also nominated for the 2015 Under 40 Business Person of the Year Award with the Langley Chamber of Commerce. Congratulations Mike, we are very proud to have you on our team!
As long as I have been coming to Otter Co-op I have not participated in the Seniors Night Turkey Dinner, but I would like to say a special thank you to Holly and the whole Deli team for making this evening such a success. There were 3 sittings and in approximately 3 hours they served 200 turkey dinners with very limited space. I personally had many positive comments from people who enjoyed the meal, the company and the choir singing. Thank you to Luiza and her group who added the festive sound. Your Board has been working diligently on your behalf this past fiscal quarter. We recently held our yearly Board Planning Session, and as a group set goals and direction with reviewing plans for the next five years. I must say the vision of growth for Otter Co-op is very exciting. As well, your entire Board attended Federated Co-operative’s Fall Conference in Calgary, where we had the opportunity to interact with directors from across the west, attend training sessions, and receive updates on the Co-op system in Western Canada. Your Board has also begun upgrading our own skills to assist in governance issues for this $200 million dollar company. All directors are now enrolled in a university based Director Development Training Program, as we continue to grow personally and as a successful co-operative.

GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE Christmas is just around the corner, where has 2015 gone? We have had another challenging yet successful year so far, though our fiscal year end is not until the end of February. I’d like to share some results with you to date. Our sales in our first 38 weeks are at $151.5 million, which is almost $12 million more than last year at this same time! We have a strong bottom line, especially given the significant growth we have undertaken over the past couple of years. In 2015, we have opened a new location in Penticton, purchased property in West Kelowna for a project in 2016, and are well underway in an upgrade of our feed mill in Aldergrove. Plans are also well underway for an upgrade of the Retail Centre in Aldergrove, as well as continuing with plans for a new site on the Abbotsford/Mission Highway, and an upgrade of our gas bar, cardlock and convenience store on Fraser Highway. Our new sites in Abbotsford are meeting and exceeding expectations, and our new site in Chilliwack also continues to grow each and every week. The Board and Management are undergoing business planning and financial forecasting for the coming year, as well as looking at opportunities to continue to diversify and keep Otter the successful and growing co-op that our member/owners expect. All of this can’t be done without the great team we have here at Otter. I am very proud of our people, as it is they who drive our business success. We have developed several new leaders this past year, as well as continuing to provide opportunities for career development and new jobs as we continue to successfully expand. We are proud of the fact that Otter made the Top 100 list in Business in Vancouver’s magazine for most profitable BC businesses. And are very proud that we are local! I’d like to take this opportunity again to thank our very hard working and dedicated team who continue to step up to the challenge of working through the ever changing economic climate here in BC. As well, a huge thank you to our members, owners, and loyal supporters. Without you, none of our success is possible either! On behalf of everyone here at the Co-op, I’d like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, it continues to be an exciting time at Otter!

Holiday Gift Guide Best of Brussels recipes Brussels Sprouts in Beer I always hated these little round cabbage like veg my Mom forced me to eat. I finally caved to the pressure and I tried this receipe and it was delicious. Trim and wash as many Brussels sprouts as you need and place them in a pot. Pour enough beer to cover them (any beer you like) bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered until fork tender. Drain and add salt & pepper and butter. Extremely easy and delicious.

Cut in half through stems, drain well. In skillet heat bacon and onion for about 3 min. or until softened. Add garlic for 1 min. Stir in honey,vinegar & mustard until syrupy. Stir in brussels sprouts to coat well. Cook for 1 to 2 min or until heated through. Make 4 servings

3 tblsp. unsalted butter 1 lb. Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced lengthwise 1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme 1/4 cup chicken stock or water 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese Fry bacon until crisp, remove from pan using a slotted spoon to a heat proof bowl. Add onions to the pan and cook 4 minutes (until starting to caramelize. Add garlic and cook another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove onions and garlic from pan to the same bowl as bacon. Add 1 1/2 tbsp. of butter to pan along with half of the brussel sprouts and 1/2 tsp. thyme. Cook
the sprouts for 2 to 3 minutes until they begin to brown. Add 1/2 the chicken stock, 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, 1/8 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper. Flip the brussel sprouts and continue to cook another minute. Remove from pan to the bowl with bacon and onions. Add the remaining butter and cook remaining brussel sprouts in the same way, adding the remaining stock, and seasonings. Toss all the brussel sprouts with the bacon and onions. Pour mixture into a 10 x 6 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the top of the dish with the cheese and bake for 20 minutes in a 450 degree oven.
1 lb brussel sprouts, halved 3 cloves crushed garlic 1 medium onion, chopped 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 cup olive oil Clean the brussel sprouts, and pat dry. In a bowl, add oil, garlic, and salt, mix together.

1 lb brussel sprouts 5 slices bacon 1/2 tsp salt 3 cups water
Vegan Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Carve an “X” on the stem of each sprout.
Add salt to the water. Soak the sprouts in this water. While sprouts are soaking, cut uncooked bacon into small pieces. In Dutch oven (or similar) put bacon, with a tbsp of water, and fry the bacon. When bacon is almost done, scoop out sprouts from the salted water and add them to the bacon. Fry ingredients for a few minutes. Add a little water to the sprouts + bacon mixture. Cook until very tender, adding water as needed so sprouts do not dry out. End result, delicious sprouts. This may sound like a really simple recipe, but the end results are amazing. My mom has used this recipe for over 70 years.

Holiday Gift Guide Best of Brussels recipes Brown Butter Brussels
Auntie Ruth’s Brussels Sprouts
Ok: no measurements: quantities as needed/ preferred Butter Sun dried tomatoes Cooked crispy broken bacon (prepared bacon bits work)
My friend’s Auntie Ruth invited us younger people (this was in the 1970’s) to dinner one evening and served these wonderful vegetables. Over the years I have changed the recipe somewhat. So this is my BS recipe. Now the “younger” people in my life ask me to bring these brussel sprouts to dinner.
Trim and halve sprouts Par-boil or steam sprouts 5-7 minutes until slightly tender Plunge sprouts into cold/ice water to stop cooking In a skillet, brown a good portion of butter over medium heat Pat the sprouts dry to remove most of the moisture Add sprouts, sun dried tomatoes and bacon bits to browned butter and cook until sprouts are slightly crispy and cooked through& serve. Deeelicious!
~ Tom Allard
2.5 pounds of brussel sprouts 12 slices bacon diced 1/2 cup chop onion 3 Tablespoons flour 11/2 milk 1/3 cup dry white wine 1/2 teaspoon salt some orange leaves (optional) 3/4 teaspoon dillweed 1/8 teaspoon pepper Clean and X the ends of the brussel sprouts.
Cook them uncovered in large container of water until tender, about 7-10 minutes. Cook bacon, I like it crispy. Set bacon aside. Drain all but 4 tablespoons of drippings, add onion and cook until limp. Add the flour until the mixture bubbles then take it off the heat. Add the milk and cook until thick. In large casserole dish place all of above ending with 2 tablespoons of bacon on top. Bake at 325 degrees F uncovered for 20 minutes. I have used skim milk in the sauce and also only used a portion of the sauce in my recipe. Another reason that I like this recipe is because I can make it ahead of time and then bake before serving time.

Holiday Gift Guide
The Best Books for Christmas Monique Tamminga Times Reporter
#1 BOOK OF 2015 The number one book of 2015 isn’t a book at all. It’s adult colouring books ($15). These fantasy colouring books and postcards, with forest, jungle, ocean and even Harry Potter and Game of Thrones themes, are flying off the shelves. Said to be just as good as meditation and as calming as yoga, using colourful pencil crayons and bringing a drawing to life does have its appeal. Maybe those toddlers are on to something.
THE CROWD PLEASER: The thrilling whodunnit hit of the year is The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
($12). You’d be hard pressed to find someone who won’t like this brilliant, hard-to-put-down novel, with its captivating plot, wild characters and twists and turns. Hawkins’ protagonist is as aggravating as she is fascinating, always blurring the lines between stalking and awkward, deliberate manipulations to get what she wants. This book is much better than Gone Girl, but offers that same thrilling ride with the twist at the end.
TRENDING: Humans of New York: Stories by Brandon Stanton ($20) is the newest collection of photographs, but now with the stories behind the humans he photographs. What started off as a personal project for Brandon — photographing people living in New York, capturing a snippet of their lives, has turned into a
huge hit, with everyone asking for more.
NOT YOUR MOMMA’S COOKBOOK: Thug Kitchen: Eat Like You Give a F*&k ($20) throws down 100 great recipes like pumpkin chili.Thug Kitchen started as a wildly popular website, with nearly one million Facebook fans to become an official cookbook that should step up your cooking game and kitchen cred.
LANGLEY RECIPES: Langley Times has partnered with the Langley School District Foundation to deliver local recipes in the “Community Cookbook 2015” ($10) with 100 per cent of proceeds going into the Food For Thought lunch programs at Langley schools. With wellknown Langley chefs and prominent members of the community adding their best recipes, this is the feel-good gift of the year. Available at The Times office and the Foundation office.
BE INSPIRED: Open Heart, Open Mind by Clara Hughes ($20) is an honest memoir from Canada’s most decorated Olympian, who has medalled in two different sports. It is always intriguing to find out what makes
people rise to levels of such achievement. Through her memoir, we get an idea of how Hughes’ singleminded drive to train is all she knew for more than a decade. But we also see her struggle through depression, her difficult childhood and learn how an overachiever acknowledges her limitations. Hughes is an athlete, not a writer, so this is pretty straight forward prose, but still worthwhile.
CHILLING TRUE STORY: A House In The Sky by Amanda Lindhout and Sara Corbett ($12) may not have come out this year, but a trial against one of Lindhout’s kidnappers is currently taking place in Ontario. Her unimaginable and horrifyingly story of kidnap and torture is as relevant today as when it happened several years ago. It is frustrating to read the Calgarynative’s story, knowing that she calls herself a journalist without having had any training, and that she arrived in civil war-torn countries (including Somalia, where she was kidnapped) with the naivety of an ignorant tourist before being kidnapped for ransom. But what she endured during more than a year of captivity is both excruciating and heart-wrenching. continued on next page

Best Books for Christmas FOR KIDS:
HAVE A BEAR-Y MERRY XMAS
Soccer Sami and the Big Meanie Coach by stOoART ($10), an author, father and commercial designer based out of North Vancouver. His children’s book, with its bright and wonderful drawings, has such a sweet message that many, young and old, can relate to. He writes: Soccer Sami is a story for all those Samis who just want to play the game, win or lose. I guess I can relate, because it made me a little teary at the end. Unfortunately, only available online as paperback or ebook at www.stooart.com
Langley’s own Critter Care Wildlife Society has 2016 calendars ($10) featuring all the wild baby animals they have taken in this year. Available in the Christmas store at their Campbell Valley Park rehab centre, all proceeds go to help the orphaned and injured animals. This year they’ve taken in a record number of underweight orphaned bear cubs and are overwhelmed by the need of this growing bruins population. This is a way you can help and get a gift out of it, too. Open seven days a week at 481-216 St.

Holiday Gift Guide
Hot Toys for Christmas 2015 Monique Tamminga Times Reporter Remember the Christmas must-haves of yesteryear, like Cabbage Patch doll or Tickle Me Elmo? Last year, it was the Rainbow Loom. This year hasn’t produced an absolute must-have toy, but one silly, simple game called PieFace by Hasbro is this year’s game of choice, and it is sold out everywhere. The game has players take turns putting their face through a hole, with a handful of whipped cream waiting on the other side. Each player turns a dial to see if they will be the one to get a pie in the face. The YouTube video about PieFace has gone viral. Some of this year’s hot toys, meanwhile, include Shopkins, Lego and Minecraft. With the Star Wars movie set to come out in just days, there will be plenty of toys to thrill young Jedis, including the sought-after light saber. Here are some of the most popular toys making it onto
letters to Santa:
Toddlers ages 3-5 Girls: Frozen dolls and dress up, Shopkins, My Little Pony, castles and doll houses, dress up costumes, interactive plush toys, playdough and life-sized dolls. Boys: Dinosaurs, castles, Imaginex figurines, superhero anything, Ninja Turtles, Paw Patrol, dress up, digger trucks, car tracks, remote control vehicles, Thomas the Train
Ages 5-8 Boys: Superhero figurines, Batman bases, Star Wars BB-8 Droid (moving droid), light sabers, Star Wars Lego, Minecraft Lego, Superhero and Jurassic World Lego, Lego Dimensions game ($$$), Mario Maker for WiiU, board games Girls: Shopkins mystery packs, Shopkins supermarket, FurReal Friends (interactive pet stuffies), Barbie, Lego Friends, Dress up dresses, tents, chapter books
Ages 9-11 More difficult Lego sets, headphones, hoodies, Hoverboards ($$$), video
games, including NHL 2016, Mario Maker, Lego Dimensions ($$$), scooters, Star Wars toys, jewelry boxes, nail polish, Minecraft games, Nerf guns, musical instruments, adult colouring books like Harry Potter, chapter books, board games
Ages 12-15 iPods ($$$), mini iPad ($$$), wireless speakers, wireless headphones like Monster, SkullCandy or Beats by Dr. Dre ($$$), movie tickets, video games, Nerf guns, skateboards ($$$), hair straightener, selfie stick, GoPro camera ($$$), UGG-like slippers, robes, PJs, hoodies, hats, graphic novels.
GIFTS EVERY KID WANTS, NO MATTER WHAT AGE: Every kid wants their caregiver’s undivided attention – no phones, no housework, no distractions, just you enjoying their company, sharing a laugh, making a memory -- and it doesn’t cost a thing. Promise to put that under the tree too this year.

Winner
We would like to congratulate our Retail Division Manager Mike Will, as he has been recognized for a couple of awards this past month. One as a rising star in the Canadian Grocery Industry, and has been presented with the “Generation Next Award.” This award goes out to retailers under 40 who demonstrate leadership, a commitment to the grocery industry, and involvement in the industry in their community. This award is Canada wide. Not only will Mike be highlighted at the Golden Pencil Awards in Toronto, he will also be featured in an upcoming edition of the Canadian Grocer magazine. Mike was also nominated for the 2015 Under 40 Business Person of the Year Award with the Langley Chamber of Commerce. Congratulations Mike, we are very proud to have you on our team!
As long as I have been coming to Otter Co-op I have not participated in the Seniors Night Turkey Dinner, but I would like to say a special thank you to Holly and the whole Deli team for making this evening such a success. There were 3 sittings and in approximately 3 hours they served 200 turkey dinners with very limited space. I personally had many positive comments from people who enjoyed the meal, the company and the choir singing. Thank you to Luiza and her group who added the festive sound. Your Board has been working diligently on your behalf this past fiscal quarter. We recently held our yearly Board Planning Session, and as a group set goals and direction with reviewing plans for the next five years. I must say the vision of growth for Otter Co-op is very exciting. As well, your entire Board attended Federated Co-operative’s Fall Conference in Calgary, where we had the opportunity to interact with directors from across the west, attend training sessions, and receive updates on the Co-op system in Western Canada. Your Board has also begun upgrading our own skills to assist in governance issues for this $200 million dollar company. All directors are now enrolled in a university based Director Development Training Program, as we continue to grow personally and as a successful co-operative.
Congratulations Mike Will! 4H Scholarship

GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE Christmas is just around the corner, where has 2015 gone? We have had another challenging yet successful year so far, though our fiscal year end is not until the end of February. I’d like to share some results with you to date. Our sales in our first 38 weeks are at $151.5 million, which is almost $12 million more than last year at this same time! We have a strong bottom line, especially given the significant growth we have undertaken over the past couple of years. In 2015, we have opened a new location in Penticton, purchased property in West Kelowna for a project in 2016, and are well underway in an upgrade of our feed mill in Aldergrove. Plans are also well underway for an upgrade of the Retail Centre in Aldergrove, as well as continuing with plans for a new site on the Abbotsford/Mission Highway, and an upgrade of our gas bar, cardlock and convenience store on Fraser Highway. Our new sites in Abbotsford are meeting and exceeding expectations, and our new site in Chilliwack also continues to grow each and every week. The Board and Management are undergoing business planning and financial forecasting for the coming year, as well as looking at opportunities to continue to diversify and keep Otter the successful and growing co-op that our member/owners expect. All of this can’t be done without the great team we have here at Otter. I am very proud of our people, as it is they who drive our business success. We have developed several new leaders this past year, as well as continuing to provide opportunities for career development and new jobs as we continue to successfully expand. We are proud of the fact that Otter made the Top 100 list in Business in Vancouver’s magazine for most profitable BC businesses. And are very proud that we are local! I’d like to take this opportunity again to thank our very hard working and dedicated team who continue to step up to the challenge of working through the ever changing economic climate here in BC. As well, a huge thank you to our members, owners, and loyal supporters. Without you, none of our success is possible either! On behalf of everyone here at the Co-op, I’d like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, it continues to be an exciting time at Otter!

Brad McLean and Carla Fraser (top, right) have moved their Wish Upon A Star Christmas lights display to their new home in Brookswood. M IR A ND A GAT HE R C OLE Langley Time s
Brightening the night with 40,000 lights MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Like the storyline of a “sappy Christmas movie,” one small Christmas light purchase seven years ago has snowballed into a an unstoppable holiday obsession for couple Carla Fraser and Brad McLean. “We saw a snowman that bows, and we bought him because he’s cute,” Fraser explained. “And then we saw a deer that moves its head up and down, and we bought that because he’s cute. Then we kept buying stuff because we would walk into stores and see things that we thought were cute.” Eventually the couple had 5,000 lights on their home, which grew into 10,000 lights, then 20,000 lights — and now — an astounding 40,000 Christmas lights. With decorations hailing from
flea markets, boxing day sales in the United States, and several custom adaptations by McLean — including a plastic snowman that is now an interactive singing character, and an old garage door opener that is now a flying Santa — it is hard-pressed to find a collection as unique as theirs. “It got to the point where we either had to stop, or go stupid with it,” Fraser said, laughing. They chose the latter. After successfully drawing large crowds to their Wish Upon A Star display at 19368 62A Ave. in Surrey, Fraser and McLean are optimistic they’ll have the same reception at their new home at 20681 44 Ave. in Langley. Having just moved to the area in August, and already causing a commotion with their home renovations, they hope their new neighbours don’t mind “the
Northern Lights.” “It’s one thing to move into a neighbourhood and you’re the new people in the neighbourhood. We’re not only the new people in the neighbourhood, we came in here and started tossing drywall out the front door onto the lawn,” Fraser said. “And then ‘oh, by the way, we’re bringing 40,000 lights with us. So I hope you all like Christmas, because the tour bus will be coming by and it’s going to be bright.’” Fraser and McLean have had all types of spectators out front, ranging from first dates and families to tour buses and even limos. But their favourites are the kids. “Every year, there’s always one kid that will touch our hearts,” Fraser said.
“That one child, that for some reason, makes some sort of impression that melts us to pieces. So no matter how much work it is, how much space it takes up to store it, that one child will keep us going for the next year.” Last year that title went to a little boy, who was about three years old. When Fraser asked him if he liked the lights, he ran up to her and gave her a hug. Then, as he was leaving, Fraser said goodbye, and he let go of his mother’s hand, ran up the driveway and gave her another hug and a kiss on the cheek. “At that point I turned around and came into the house and just bawled my eyes out,” Fraser said. “It’s that — it’s the little kids across the street from us that wouldn’t go to bed until they came over to see the display,

going to pass it on to their children. And in some small way, we’re having a positive influence on their lives, and it makes us feel good to do it.” In similar fashion, through their Christmas craze, the couple also collects donations for BC Children’s Hospital through a donation box in the front yard, and hot chocolate sales. Having personal experiences at the hospital through several of their family members, fundraising for this charity was a no-brainer. One hundred per cent of donations will go to BC Children’s with none being used to cover costs of the display. “I like doing something for the community,” McLean said. “There’s no end to the thanks and appreciation we get for it. At the end of the day, the kids are laughing and the money is going to a good cause. “I like to think that it’s a positive thing all the way around, and it’s certainly a positive thing for us. As

much as people get out of it, we’re getting more out of it.” Their enthusiasm also seems to be contagious. Fraser and McLean have seen Scrooge’s in their old neighbourhood suddenly stringing up lights, and houses with modest displays suddenly getting brighter. “It creates community spirit,” Fraser said. “It just tends to bring everybody together, it’s a wonderful phenomenon.” Even in their new home, they’ve noticed their holiday bliss spreading. “When we first moved in we were pulling the cedars out from the front, doing a little landscaping. And so people would walk by and say ‘hi,’ and keep walking — friendly — but just ‘hi’ and walk by,” Fraser said. “We start putting the lights out, and now everyone is stopping and chatting. And we’re getting to know who they are, and where they live and their history. It kind of encourages that conversation. “It’s like a sappy Christmas movie — it seriously is.”

Titans rebound, take second at B.C.’s Sixth seed heading into championships, Langley Fundamental knocks off pair of higher seeds before losing in gold medal match GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
There was a silver lining for the Langley Fundamental Titans. The senior boys volleyball team can take solace in their second-place finish at the B.C. 2A provincial championships, especially considering they were the sixth seed entering the tournament. “My goal for the start of the year was to come third. I thought if we could come third in the province, that would be really good,” said Titans coach Dan Johnson following Saturday night’s straight sets 3-0 loss to the top seed MEI Eagles of Abbotsford. “With the crew we had, mostly Grade 11s, I was happy with how we did.” The championships were held at the Langley Events Centre. MEI won the first set in Saturday night’s final 25-13. The Titans led for much of the second set before the Eagles rallied to win 26-24. MEI then closed things out with a 25-19 win in the third set. MEI finished the season undefeated against B.C. competition, with their lone loss against a team from Saskatchewan. “We knew we had a lot of tal-

I thought if we could come third in the province, that would be really good. DAN JOHNSON
“If we could have won that second set, I think we could have made a better run of it,” Johnson lamented. “We just got thumped in that first set (but) I was pretty proud how they pushed back in the second set, all the way through. “MEI, they just didn’t make errors.” The Titans are a young squad, with just two Grade 12s on their nine-player roster. Langley Fundamental finished second in their pool with a 2-1 record on the first day of provincials, defeating George

Todd 3-1 (25-17,31-33,25-22,25-19) in the first round of the championship draw and then beat Langley Christian 3-2 (25-19,13-25,2225,25-19,15-9) in the quarter-finals. The win was a measure of revenge as Langley Christian had beat Fundy in the Fraser Valley semifinals a few weeks earlier. Langley Christian wound up placing fifth (see page 41) overall at the provincial championships. The Titans then won in straight sets 3-0 (25-21,2523,25-18) in the semifinals over Pacific Academy. Pacific Academy had beat Fundy in the Fraser Valley bronze-medal match. “I told them I was proud of them. They over-exceeded themselves,” Johnson said. “We didn’t do very well at Fraser Valleys, so we revamped, worked really hard and they overcame a lot of stuff.” “They really played a lot better than they had.” One of the moves Johnson made which paid dividends at provincials, was moving his son Zec Johnson from setter to outside hitter. “We needed another hitter because guys were just stacking on Phil (Stahl) and Max (Heppell), so we needed another option to spread them out,” the coach said. Stahl and Johnson were both named first team all-stars.

pionships running Dec. 2 to 5. “We came in 14th so we weren’t really expecting to finish top four,” she said. “We were hoping top eight, if that.” Credo Christian had finished third at the Fraser Valley championships, and needed to win a three-team

Their return trip to the provincial championships may not have gone as smoothly as they hoped, but the future looks bright for Walnut Grove volleyball. The Gators — fielding a senior boys team for the first time in four years — won the Fraser Valley banner and qualified for the B.C. 3A provincial volleyball championships. But at provincials, which ran Dec. 2 to 5 at the Langley Events Centre, Walnut Grove got off to a slow start, losing all three pool games. They were then knocked out of medal contention with a straight-sets loss to Earl Marriott. Walnut Grove went 1-1 in their final two games — beating Riverside and losing to Surrey Christian — to finish 11th. Inexperience at this level, the pressure

The Langley Christian Lightning figured their quest for a provincial championship would involve a showdown with top-seed Pacific Academy at some point. They just didn’t anticipate it happening in the quarter-finals. But the Lightning senior girls lost to their Fraser Valley rivals in four sets, ending Langley Christian’s run for the gold at the B.C. 2A senior girls volleyball provincial championships. The tournament was held at George Elliot Secondary in Lake Country. “We played our hearts out,” said Langley Christian coach Lisa Bontkes, referring to her team’s quarter-final match. The four-set loss to Pacific Academy — who had beat Langley Christian in the Fraser Valley final last month — marked the first time this season the Lightning won a set off the Breakers. Langley Christian went 3-0 to win their pool — they beat St. Pats, Holy Cross and Selkirk all by 2-0 scores — but Pacific Academy had a slip-up

The emotional loss to their
Fraser Valley rivals left the Lightning out of gas. “After that, we kind of lost steam,” Bontkes said. The Lightning lost to

Langley Christian went 1-2 in pool play, beating Charles Fulton but losing to MEI and Pacific Academy. And in the championship round, they beat Woodlands 3-0 before losing to Langley Fundamental in the quarter-finals three sets to two. Langley Christian closed provincials with wins over George Elliot and College Heights to place fifth overall. In both their final two games, the Lightning dropped the first set before winning the next two to take the match. The Lightning’s Brennan Gardner was a first team all-star while Parker Heppell was an honourable mention.

’Cats Konig, Forsyth earn invites to Canadian camp A pair of Brookswood Bobcats have been invited to Toronto for a Basketball Canada age-group assessment camp. Aislinn Konig and Louise Forsyth are among the 53 invitees to the camp, which begins on Friday (Dec. 11) and runs until Dec. 15. The camp is for female players born 1998 or later and the coaching staff will determine which players will be invited to the next stage of the 2016 age-group programs. Konig is in Grade 12 at Brookswood Secondary and is off to North Carolina State after graduation on scholarship. She has won the past two most

valuable player awards in helping the ’Cats win back-to-back B.C. senior girls 3A provincial titles. Forsyth is in Grade 11 and has played a key role in Brookswood’s last two championship titles. And last June, she was part of the Canadian squad which won gold at the FIBA Americas U16 basketball championships in Mexico. “We look forward to assessing progress of returnees and welcoming new nationally identified into our camp and see them compete and provide direction on their individual performance plans,” said Denise Dignard, director of women’s high performance.

Feb. 10, 1930 - Dec. 10, 2008
Ron was predeceased by his parents Ivar and Polly. He is survived by his wife Dianne, sons Kevin and Nick (Sachiko), grandchildren Alex and Maya, sister Joan and many nieces and nephews. Ron was a service plumber in the Cloverdale/Langley area for more than 40 years. He loved his work as it allowed him to meet so many interesting people. Unfortunately the job he loved contributed in his untimely death. He contacted mesothelioma, which is cancer directly related to contact with asbestos. Ron loved the game of pool and played in 2 leagues in both Langley and Surrey, and he was well known for his love of all animals.

OBITUARIES
Rev. Father Paul Gerard Maria Greuter was born in 1924 in Amsterdam, Holland, the 11th of 16 children to Theodore and Agatha Greuter. Having followed the inspiration to become a Catholic priest, he applied for Canada after World War II, partly because of the influence of Canadian soldiers who spoke of life in Canada, and he left his native Holland for good in 1948, entering the seminary near Edmonton. In 1954, he was ordained for the Diocese of Calgary. Father was posted in various towns of that diocese, but retired early in order to be faithful to the priesthood of his ordination, which was being changed with the Second Vatican Council. He then moved to Vernon, BC, and spent 30 more years there, restoring the faith of many Catholics who had become hard-pressed to find a traditional Catholic priest. During those years, he took care of a scattered flock throughout the interior of BC with determination, no matter the obstacle. In 2002, he handed on his legacy to the Society of St. Pius X priests, and left Our Lady Queen of Peace Church (37th) in Vernon to “retire” to the parish of Our Lay of Good Counsel in Nanaimo (on Jingle Pot Road). His real retirement only came at the age of 89, when he could no longer keep up physically, although he always kept his wit and sense of humour. He was well-loved and looked after by his faithful, old and young, and was a particular influence on a number of vocations. On the 27th of November 2015, his good heart finally gave up at the age of 91, leaving behind sisters, Nell Kok in Port Moody, and Theresa Spit in Amsterdam, Holland, along with numerous nieces and nephews and many spiritual children in Christ. • Prayers will be at Sands Funeral Home on Dec. 8th at 7pm. • The Solemn Sung Latin Requiem Mass, at Sands Funeral Chapel, Dec. 9th at 11am. • The traditional burial rite follows the Requiem Mass at the Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens. • A reception follows at the Sands Funeral Home. The celebrant of the Requiem will be Fr. Daniel Couture, District Superior of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in Canada, as well as a number of priest friends, including the District Superior of the Society in the USA, Fr. Jurgen Wegner.
