the year in crime IN SEPTEMBER, homicide investigators announced they had arrested and charged three young men with the murder of missing Walnut Grove teen Nicolas Hannon. The three, Connor Campbell, Brad Flaherty and Keith Tankard, were friends of Hannon, said Nicolas’ dad. Nicolas went missing Feb. 26, 2014, and police and private investigators had looked for him without success. At the time of the three men’s arrest, his body was recovered from a remote location in Mission. One of the accused, Campbell, is the son of former RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Catherine Galliford and current police Sgt. Darren Campbell. The accused men make their next court appearance in January.
Walnut Grove teen, Nicolas Hannon disappeared in February 2014, but it wasn’t until the arrest of three young men accused of his death that his body was recovered at a remote location in Mission in September, 2015.

AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR AND A HALF a ‘quiet’ Langley family came forward in December to claim the $50 million Lotto Max prize. Friedrich and Annand Mayrhofer had been holding on to the winning ticket since the numbers were announced in March 2014. They hired a lawyer to determine whether their identity could be withheld. Seeing it couldn’t, they submitted their winning ticket to BC Lottery Corp. With their winnings, they plan to renovate their home and take a vacation. Since the announcement, a B.C. man has filed a claim in court, saying he had the winning numbers as well, and bought the ticket in Langley.

Saying they are getting closer to finding the vehicle responsible for the fatal hit and run that killed 44-year-old Daniel Patrick McAuley, Langley RCMP have released images taken from a security camera of a grey car heading south on 200 Street. The car was recorded turning from 200 Street onto 24 Avenue minutes after McAuley was struck while walking home on Dec. 20. “Investigators are hopeful the driver of the suspect vehicle will come forward on their own and provide his or her version of events,” a police statement said. “At the very least, investigators would like to rule this vehicle out as a suspect vehicle.” Investigators are looking for footage from other surveillance and intersection cameras in the area. The car responsible is believed be a Toyota Camry, manufactured between 2007 and 2011 with damage to its front passenger side. Police said paint samples have been obtained from the crash site and will undergo forensic testing “to conclusively determine the colour of the
Southwestern B.C. residents were jolted late Tuesday night (Dec. 29) by a small earthquake that briefly rattled homes across much of Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, including Langley. The magnitude 4.3 quake at 11:39 p.m. was centred about eight kilometres east of Sidney, between Victoria and Vancouver, according to preliminary information from Earthquakes Canada. The shaker lasted only a couple of seconds. The U.S. Geological Survey
ranked it a magnitude 4.8, higher than the 4.3 from Earthquakes Canada. Social media was deluged with individual reports of what the quake felt like, with some saying it felt like a vehicle slammed into their home. Natural Resources Canada said it had received no reports of damage and none would be expected. Agencies including Emergency Preparedness B.C. are urging residents to treat the event as a wakeup call and prepare earthquake kits for the potential of a more serious quake in the future.

We cannot neglect exercise altogether, but walking and fresh air, stopping to talk to your neighbours sounds much better that running or lifting weights. Critics of this theory will tell you 20 to 40 minutes of exercise, three times a week, is the best way to improve cardiovascular health, the immune system and general physical well-being. So who do you believe? I think you believe your own body and your own mind. If you are happy and healthy, then your lifestyle is working. If you are tired, sore and complaining, then do something about it. I was complaining about my back and my knee and my grandson suggested I get some Tryactin. When I questioned him he replied, “Quit whining and Tryactin like a man.” The hours and days fly by. Once in a while, move over and let them pass. At least that’s what McGregor says.

Population overlooked in guns letter Editor: The wonderful thing about statistics is that you can get them to say just about anything you want. In Paul Bowman’s letter (The Times, Dec. 23) he chastises the news media for its inaccurate reporting on the number of homicides with firearms in the U.S. as compared to Canada. According to Mr Bowman’s calculations we Canadians are 6.35 times as likely to get shot by a licensed firearm in Canada than an American in the U.S. His calculations however are derived by comparing the number of guns licensed in each country compared to the number of deaths by firearms, licensed or not. This seemed somehow flawed in that these calculations did not
take into account populations. So naturally I went to my old pal Google to look up populations. Apparently in 2014 there were 35,540,000 citizens in Canada and 318,900,000 in the U.S. — roughly nine times as many. Consequently, if there were 131 deaths via firearms in Canada, one would expect about 131 x 9 in the U.S., say 1,179. However, according to Mr. Bowman’s letter, there were actually 8,124 such deaths in the U.S. This seems to say that, taking into account the populations of both countries, one’s chances of getting shot in the U.S. is 6.89 times greater than in Canada. Perhaps this disparity is a result of the fact
that when a nut-bar with a gun in the U.S. goes on a shooting spree he/she usually takes out a dozen or so citizens at a time. Children are often favourite targets. In Canada we’ve had a few incidents of two or three (victims), usually police officers, but most often just one. Whatever the reason, the chance of getting shot in the U.S. is almost seven times higher than in Canada. This seems a lot more likely figure Not only is it a lot more expensive to go to the U.S. these days, it’s a helluva lot riskier. EVAN BRETT,
passed, they helped me up and one of them drove me home. My friend was able to take me to my chiropractor, and I was treated within a few hours. The chiro’s comment was: “Those men were angels! So many people come to my office having had falls but people walk right past them.” I want to thank these two dear men. D. ANDERSON,
Editor: Here I thought fact checking was essential for informed discourse. Paul Bowman (“Canadian Reporting Far Off the Mark on U.S. Gun Issue,” The Times, Dec. 23) clearly does not even attempt to be factual when he asserts that one is “6.35 times more likely to be murdered” with a firearm in Canada than in the States. As proof for this twister, he trots out, among others, Statscan, but even a cursory fact-check shows the complete opposite to be true (statscan.gc.ca, “firearms and violent crime in Canada,” 2012). He might as well claim that Earth is flat, that global warming is a hoax, that guns don’t kill people, and that Obama is a sleeper agent for ISIS. Happy New Year, and keep your powder dry. PIM SCHÖN,

Bird trapping preferable to Thanks to ‘angels’ who noisy berry field cannons stopped to help after fall Editor: Many thanks to Abbotsford council for agreeing to the starling trapping initiative. This has been talked about for many years. It’s been carried out successfully in the Okanagan and across the border in Washington state with remarkable reductions in starling populations. However, this is not a one-time solution but must be an ongoing process in order to have any success. Hopefully the blueberry industry will support this, but it will require a quantum leap forward in thinking
within the industry to reduce the use of cannons and other audible bird-scare devices, which have been proven to lose their effectiveness once the birds are used to the noise. Drones over the berry fields have also shown promise in test trials. There are many people who have been suffering through cannon summers for far too long and will be looking forward to this with much anticipation. It can’t be soon enough. CHERRY GROVES, BRADNER
Editor: Three weeks ago, on Dec. 9, I had a very nasty fall. My friend and I were crossing 200 Street at Michaud Crescent when I suddenly tripped and fell onto the concrete.

Fact checking no longer required?
An already difficult Christmas made worse by thieves Editor: Today is Christmas. We came home from my son’s house last night celebrating Christmas Eve with my daughter-in-law’s relatives. It took all my energy to attend. They live six blocks from us in Walnut Grove. I have been fighting cancer for seven months. My husband put up our Christmas tree and decorations and all the inflatables in our front yard to make it Christmas for me and my grandchildren. I was not in the mood as I have just completed
seven months of heavy chemo for aggressive cancer. I will still have infusions until November 2017. When we came home last night our yard and home was inviting with Christmas fun. This morning we see our big long dachshund inflatable was stolen, as was our inflatable huge dog holding a red stocking — the only two worth stealing. My heart is broken. How can mean people steal knowing, but obviously not caring, that they are breaking the owners’ hearts?
We don’t just put those out for show — they mean something to us. 2015 started out with my dachshund being hospitalized with a broken back. After major surgery and physical therapy since February the conclusion is he cannot walk. We carry him inside and outside. Then in May I was diagnosed with cancer. In June, another personal problem invaded our struggle for finding the “good” in people.
After spending seven months, day and night, on the couch, and a different Christmas this year that I am struggling to get through, physically and emotionally, we now have thieves coming to our house on Christmas Eve. This is just another reminder how hurtful people can be, even at Christmas. If the thieves had come to the door (not likely) and told me they would love those two inflatables for their kids, but couldn’t afford them, I would have given them
the money to go buy two inflatables. It’s too bad these people did not experience the ’60s and ’70s, where things like this did not happen to this degree. If you see a neighbour’s yard with a long dachshund inflatable and a huge standing dog with a red stocking, it doesn’t belong to them, it belongs to us and our grandchildren.

Call takers have to be alert to scenarios where a caller feels threatened by someone in earshot and is speaking in code or otherwise concocting a story to hide the fact they’ve dialed 911. “We are trained to ask questions in case a caller is in distress and can’t speak freely,” E-Comm call taker Harrison Kwan said. “It’s only when I’m completely satisfied that the call is not a real emergency that I can disconnect and go back to answering other 911 calls.

Duck call: Theodore makes NHL debut Aldergrove’s Shea Theodore cracks Anaheim line-up GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
A childhood dream was fulfilled by Aldergrove’s Shea Theodore as the 20-year-old made his National Hockey League debut on Tuesday night. Theodore was recalled by the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday — the third time they had brought him up from the American Hockey League’s San Diego Gulls this season — but finally got his first taste of NHL regular season action in his team’s 1-0 victory over the Calgary Flames at Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome. “It was fun and fast,” Theodore said on the Ducks website. “It’s good to have a nice atmosphere like that for your first game. “I played it simple (and) it helps when you have a defence partner like Clayton Stoner. He made things easy.” Theodore played 15:45 in his debut. He finished with one shot on goal. He began the season with San Diego but an injury over the weekend to the Ducks’ top defenceman, Cam Fowler, earned him the call-up. Theodore was a first round pick of the Ducks, who chose him 26th overall in the 2013 NHL entry draft. Theodore said he was not expecting the call-up. “A little bit of a surprise, but things have been going well (this season) in San Diego,” he told The Times by phone on Monday. His first phone call after he got the news was back home to his father Cam in Aldergrove. “He was pretty pumped,” Theodore said. Theodore joined the Ducks on Sunday night after San Diego’s game. He practiced with Anaheim on Monday before the team caught their flight to Calgary to begin a three-game Western Canada road trip. The Ducks were in Edmonton on New Year’s Eve before

Aldergrove’s Shea Theodore skates the puck up the ice during an American Hockey League game for the San Diego Gulls earlier this season. The 20-year-old was recalled by the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks on Sunday and could play when the Ducks visit the Vancouver Canucks on New Year’s Day.
It’s good to have a nice atmosphere like that for your first game. SHEA THEODORE
coming to Vancouver for a game against the Canucks at Rogers Arena on Jan. 1. While there is no guarantee he
will play against Vancouver, Theodore did say playing in his home province would be special. “It would be nice to do that, but obviously you can’t get your hopes up,” he said. “I am here to just try and get
in the line-up and if I do, that’s great.” “He’s played well (this season),” Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said prior to the Calgary game on the team’s website. “He’s a very good quarterback of the power play. That’s been his strength his whole life. “If he plays, I think he will do well.” The six-foot-two, 195-pound defenceman is tied for fourth on the Gulls in scoring with four goals and 16 points in 27 games. Three of his goals have come on the power play. This is his first full season of professional hockey after a stellar Western Hockey League career
with the Seattle Thunderbirds which saw him score 58 goals and 212 points in 257 games. He was the WHL’s top defenceman in 2014/15. Theodore was also on the Canadian team which won gold at last year’s world junior hockey championships. He played 13 games at the AHL level last spring once his time with Seattle was done, scoring five goals and 14 points in 13 games. It has been adjustment, going from junior hockey to the professional level. “The guys are bigger and stronger (at this level) but I feel like I am handling myself pretty well,” he said.
Gardner living the dream in Sweden GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
Like many young adults his age, Anthony Gardner is home for the holidays. But while others his age are back home with their families while on break from their college or university semesters, it is a little different for Gardner. The 20-year-old arrived back in Langley last week, on break from his rookie season of professional hockey with Fagersta AIK, a Swedish second division hockey team. The
league is the fourth tier of pro hockey in Sweden. “When you are growing up, playing professionally at any level is the dream for any hockey player,” Gardner said. “Not too many kids get to do that, so it is definitely a privilege playing professional hockey.” “And when it came down to it, I had always wanted to see Europe.” Gardner played through the ranks of the Langley Minor Hockey Association and then after a season of junior B in the Kootenay Junior Hockey
League, spent three years in the B.C. Hockey League, including winning a Fred Page Cup with the Coquitlam Express in 2014. He finished his junior eligibility last year with Salmon Arm, and while Gardner thought about going to school and continuing to play either in Canada or the U.S., he was approached by a scout about going to Europe. After contemplating his options, Gardner went for it. “I thought why not go out and give it a shot and try to further my ca-
reer,” he said. The town is about two hours northwest of Stockholm and Gardner shares an apartment with a pair of Canadian teammates. On the ice, the six-foot, 175-pound defenceman has three goals and nine points in 14 games. And the game is different from the BCHL, which he described as faster and more physical. “There is a lot more skill and a lot more puck possession (here),” he explained. Continued Page 13

The regional league features 10 teams and the longest road trip — done by bus and train — is two hours. On the ice, it has been nothing different from what he is used to, but the biggest adjustment has been living away from home and handling the off-ice day-to-day actions of adulthood, Gardner added.
Gardner is on a one-year contract and knows this is a foot in the door. “Obviously you want to play in the highest league in the world, no matter what,� he said. “And if the NHL doesn’t work out, there are a lot more options out there for me. I am just going to keep playing the best I can and see how it goes.� He is scheduled to head back to Sweden on Jan. 4.

available in Europe. Nissan led the crossover charge with the introduction of the Murano almost 12 years ago but its imitators soon outsold it. The sharp-looking third-generation Murano should be a game changer. The external good looks are matched inside but it’s the usability of the controls that make it a real beauty. The touch screen is almost as intuitive as your smart phone of choice. Five passengers will find comfort and room aplenty and fold flat seats add to its versatility. The Murano S starts at just short of $30,000, which includes Bluetooth with streaming audio, keyless entry, dual-zone climate control and 18inch wheels. That’s a lot of extras for what passes as standard fare. I confess I am an Audi fan but most are out of my price range making them an aspirational ride for yours truly. I attended the launch of the 2017 A4 (coming soon!) in the mountainous region outside of the waterlogged city of Venice.

improvements over the current combined city/ highway of 8.9 L/100kms for the gas engine. Our A4s will all have Quattro four-wheel drive and the seven-speed dual clutch S-Tronic transmission when they arrive in the spring. Inside the very quiet cabin, there are some classy touches: fine grain ash wood inlays lifts and chrome trims raise the A4 in the elegance stakes. The current model base price is $38,500 and I don’t expect the prices for the 2017 model to vary much. Finally, I had a lot of fun in the Hyundai Tucson Hydrogen Fuel Cell EV. Sounds like something from a sci-fi story that could go very wrong. However, there is no combustion of hydrogen and the fuel cell stack has no moving parts. The electrochemical process of combining oxygen and hydrogen in the stack creates electricity used by the vehicle’s electric motor and onboard battery. The only by-product of the process is pure water vapour, resulting in zero greenhouse-gas emissions. It’s the future but right now it is possible to lease one from Hyundai. Now I’m clearing the Morgan Driveway to sample another 60 cars in 2016. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
