Kirsten Brazier prepares for takeoff with a young passenger during a previous The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too. Brazierhas set up a gofundme page to help out with this year’s event.

Kirsten Brazier is seeking volunteers to help with her third annual The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too event March 12 and 13 MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Langley resident Kirsten Brazier’s goal for the New Year is a lofty one. She aims to make sure 2,500 females fly for the first time. Last year, Brazier’s “The Sky’s No Limit — Girls Fly Too” event at Abbotsford International Airport, saw 1,700 females take their first flights. “It’s my passion to inspire more

females to get into the aviation world. This work is so important, for the past few years I have set aside my own professional flying career in order to bring these special events to thousands with the end goal of improving gender diversity in aviation, aerospace, marine and defence,” said Brazier. She has started a gofundme account under GirlsFly2 to help cover the costs associated with orga-

nizing such a large-scale event. More than 15,000 people are expected to descend on the Abbotsford International Airport on March 12 and 13 for the free Girls Fly Too event, the world’s largest aviation outreach show of its kind. She holds three world records for the event. For two days, 10 helicopters will take first-time fliers up in the sky. The hope, said Brazier, is to get

females excited about careers in aviation. “This year is even bigger and better. I’ve invited the navy this year, the bomb disposal unit will bring a robot and a bomb suit, RCMP tactical team will be there too,” she said. “The event takes on a hands-on approach to capture the attention of a missing female demographic,” she points out.

There are only around 1,300 female professional pilots in Canada, as compared to 23,000 male pilots. The numbers are even more dismal in the aircraft engineering and mechanics. In the Canadian Armed Forces, less than three per cent of top command positions are held by women.

Funding, volunteers needed

The Juhasz family (from left) Patrik, Marianna and Tamas has been staying at Walnut Grove Lutheran Church for more than a year after seeking sanctuary from a deportation order. The Canadian Border Services Agency has agreed to allow the two boys to leave the church to attend school and play football.

From Page 1

It’s these low numbers that have irked Brazier since she started flying 23 years ago. Brazier is kind of a trail blazer, determined to turn the tides of a male dominated field. She has had a wild ride in the skies in her flying career, which has taken her to the Caribbean, the US and deep into the forests as a bush pilot. In 2012, while flying helicopters in Yellowknife she got permission to host a day to fly young women in an effort to see them bitten by the flying bug. With help, she flew around 200 females. She brought it to Langley in 2014, home to many of her most dedicated volunteers. It was a huge success here but outgrew the landing strips. Last year, she moved it to Abbotsford, home of the Abbotsford Air Show — one of the events she went to annually as a child and set the wings in motion to her career. Astronaut Wendy Lawrence made a guest appearance at the event last year. There will be other surprises this year, said Brazier. She’s extended an invitation to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Considering his cabinet has the most female MPs in Canadian history, it seems most appropriate that he attend The Sky’s No Limit, said Brazier. Lieut. Gov. Judith Guichon will also be attending again this year. She’s excited to share her passion for aviation and hopefully inspire female future leaders. “There are no limits to the opportunities girls and young women can pursue,” said Guichon. To put on the event, Brazier is in need of volunteers, male or female, and corporate sponsors. If you have a way to help go to www.girlsfly2.ca or go to gofundme page.

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Family in sanctuary hopes for release Immigration authorities promise not to arrest Juhasz brothers while they are attending school DA N FERG USON Times R ep or ter

Marianna Juhasz was standing behind José Figueroa and his family when the Langley man ended more than two years of sanctuary on Dec. 23 by stepping outside the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church in Langley. Juhasz watched from inside the church as an emotional Figueroa said the new immigration minister who lifted the deportation order against him should do the same for Juhasz and her sons, Patrik and Tamas, who were ordered returned to their native Hungary in 2014. “Let’s everybody just gather together and find a solution for their situation as well,” Figueroa said. That day, several people came up to Juhasz and said they hoped she would be next to win an exemption. “I hope so,” she said.

A few days later, Juhasz sat down for an interview with The Times to talk about her life with her sons after more than a year of living in sanctuary in the same church that sheltered Figueroa. Juhasz said she was encouraged by the decision to grant Figueroa an exemption based on compassionate and humanitarian grounds. “(I have) a little more hope, now,” she said. “I pray every day.” The Juhasz family is planning to file a new application to remain in Canada on humanitarian grounds early in the new year, arguing it will be in the best interests of Patrik and Tamas. The family said there will be new, written evidence from Hungary that supports their application for refugee status based on abuse by her ex-husband, the boys’ father. They are also hoping to get

an psychological assessment of Tamas, who they said has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of being abused by his father. A few months ago, Patrik and Tamas were able to resume their studies, thanks to an agreement with the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) that allows them to leave the church without fear of arrest in order to attend school and participate in after-hours sports. Juhasz was grateful the CBSA was willing to negotiate a compromise that benefits her sons. “I’m so happy the boys (can) go outside,” she said. She still faces the prospect of possible arrest and deportation if she steps outside the church, however. “I’m stuck, yeah.” In his written decision ordering the trio returned to their native Hungary, Federal Court Judge Robert L. Barnes said they had

failed to provide evidence that would prove their claim of physical abuse. However, an English-language report from the Pal Bugat hospital in the town of Gyöngyös, Hungary stated Marianna Juhasz was treated for an injury to one arm around the time of the alleged violent assault. The report described her arm as “bruised and sensitive” and said it was not an accident, but inflicted “by a person” who was not identified. A different document refers to the father “slapping” Tamas. The Barnes decision didn’t dispute the claim the son suffered abuse, but concludes that “concerns about Tamas’ psychological health are fully addressed.” Marianna Juhasz said she doesn’t believe the authorities in Hungary will be able to protect her or her sons if they are forced to go back.

Many home owners are stunned at the jump in their property value, but just imagine if the increase was measured in the millions. Some of the priciest properties in the Fraser Valley have gained more than $2 million, according to data released Tuesday by B.C. Assessment. The highest assessed single family house in the region is at 2021 Indian Fort Drive in Surrey and its value leapt $2.4 million or 25 per cent from $9.5 million to just over $11.9 million. A White Rock house at 13616 Marine Drive shot up by almost $2.8 million or 30 per cent, from $9.1 million to $11.87 million. When acreages are included, the highest assessed residential property in the Fraser Valley (into which B.C. Assessment includes Surrey and Richmond) was a Surrey acreage at 17146 20 Avenue that gained nearly $2 million to $16.15 million. And the priciest property in Langley Township — an acreage at 19683 0 Avenue — saw its

assessment rise 31 per cent or $2.4 million to $10.06 million, from $7.6 million. Explore our interactive map at bclocalnews.com/ news/364302281.html to see the 50 highest assessed homes in the Fraser Valley. Surrey houses dominate the region’s top 100 list, which includes only a few other properties further east — four acreages in Langley Township ranging from $4.8 to $6.1 million and one in Chilliwack’s Columbia Valley valued at $4.6 million. Five properties on the list exceed $10 million. The most expensive home in B.C. overall was Lululemon founder Chip Wilson’s Vancouver house at 3085 Point Grey Road, now assessed at $63.87 million, up 10.9 per cent. Apart from that house and from $51-million James Island off Sidney, the top 10 highest value homes in B.C. are all in Vancouver and exceed $29 million. According to B.C. Assessment, detached houses in urban areas of the Fraser Valley typi-

cally gained five to 25 per cent, and more rural houses were up or down by as much as five per cent in most cases. Strata units in the Fraser Valley gained between zero and 10 per cent, while commercial properties increased five to 25 per cent. Bigger increases were more common in Greater Vancouver, where detached houses were up 15 to 30 per cent and strata units were usually up around 10 per cent. You can look up any B.C. property’s assessment at evaluebc. bcassessment.ca. The new 2016 assessments are as of last July 1. “This is a snapshot in our rear-view mirror,” B.C. Real Estate Association chief economist Cameron Muir said. “Home prices have probably gone up 10 per cent across the region since then.” Muir said strong demand and a diminishing supply of increasingly scarce single detached houses triggered the “pretty significant gains” of 2015.

Olivia is the most popular name for baby girls born in B.C. for the third straight year. The province issued its annual list of top baby names chosen in 2014. Ethan was the top name for boys, edging out Liam, the previous year’s top choice. It’s been a long run of popularity for Ethan, which has been number one or two every year since 2002. Emma, Sophia, Emily and Chloe rounded out the top five names for girls in 2014, while the other top boys’ names were Liam, Lucas, Oliver and Mason. Final statistics for 2015’s names won’t be available until later in 2016, but so far Olivia appears to be extending her streak, while Oliver was edging ahead of Liam and Ethan for top choice on the boys’ side as of Dec. 1. The Vital Statistics Agency reported 44,500 babies born in B.C. in 2014 – 22,957 boys and 21,543 girls.

don’t want their kids to be labeled, but it is really for the teacher to have this information. “If we identify five or six kids lagging behind, that information can be given to the Grade 1 teachers so they have tools ready to help those students succeed,” said Stewart. Trustee Megan Dykstra was glad to see the screening taking place in kindergarten. “If these issues are caught early on and worked on, the benefits show up later,” she said. By Grade 3, it is much more difficult to improve literacy. Stewart said ensuring kids are ready to enter the education system and their readiness to read, starts with parents. “Having pre-kindergarten kids take part in our Read, Set, Learn events and attending our Strong Start programs makes the transition to kindergarten so much better,” he said. But many parents work and are unable to take advantage of Strong Start. Stewart said they are looking at offering evening Strong Start next year.

Langley Township Coun. Petrina Arnason thinks there should be limits on the use of smart phones and social media by council members during meetings. She’s in the minority, but she’s hoping the rest of council will come around once they’ve had a chance to consider the issue. Right now, there is no policy governing the use of internet-capable phones by councillors during council meetings, nor are there any guidelines concerning the use of social media such as Facebook and Twitter while a meeting is underway (Langley City also has no policy governing smart phone use by councillors during meetings). “I call it distracted listening,” Arnason said, following the Dec. 14 vote that defeated her proposal to ban the use of smart phones by councillors during council meetings for a year (the ban would not have applied to members of the pub-

lic in the audience of the council chamber). Arnason said her proposal was a response to the concerns of some citizens, who told her they felt councillors were not paying attention during public meetings because they were on their phones. Arnason’s written resolution said the use of smart phones by councillors during meetings was “distracting and impedes one’s ability to focus on business … (was) not conducive to public transparency … (and) could raise the apprehension of impropriety.” During the discussion that led up to the vote, the rest of council disagreed with the ban, but agreed the issue needed more exploring. Among the speakers was Coun. Blair Whitmarsh, who said he keeps notes on his phone, which he refers to during meetings. “They (smart phones) are part of how we do business,” Whitmarsh said. Councillor David Davis said he

has used his smart phone twice during council meetings, once to respond to a family emergency, and he hoped other councillors would have the “common sense” to limit their use. Arnason said her research shows some American cities have opted to restrict the use of smart phones out of concern that council members could be lobbied by text messages during a debate. Last October, Jacksonville City council in Florida banned all texting by council members during meetings. The move came after three Jacksonville City council members changed their vote on a proposal to demote 17 fire chiefs to lower ranks as a cost-saving measure. They did it after receiving texts during the meeting from the president of the firefighters union. A taxpayers group sued, arguing the texting was a violation of the so-called “sunshine law” that requires open government.

OPINION

Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com

Support the Stealth Four teams averaged more than 10,000 fans a night during the 2015 National Lacrosse League season. And while the Langley Events Centre may not have the capacity to hold a crowd of that size, the Vancouver Stealth did not even come close to sell-out crowds in that time. In nine home games in 2015, the Stealth had 33,610 fans attend NLL games, an average of 3,734 per game. And while those numbers were slightly up from 2014 — the team’s first campaign calling the LEC home after relocating from Everett, Wash. — when they averaged 3,590 per home game, the Stealth had the dubious distinction of being last in the NLL both seasons. The LEC has capacity for 5,276 fans per home game, while the other eight teams all play in bigger venues. So while Vancouver is likely to finish last in terms of attendance for a third straight season, there is no reason the building should not be filled to capacity for the team’s nine home games in 2016, beginning with tomorrow (Saturday) night against the New England Black Wolves. The NLL boasts the best professional lacrosse players in North America. And British Columbia is a hotbed of lacrosse, with the province’s top minor players — male and female — routinely returning from national championships each summer with medals draped around their necks. More than three quarters of the Stealth’s roster is made up of players from the Lower Mainland, including Langley’s own Garrett Billings and Chris Levis.

MP shouldn’t take credit for release Editor: At long last, José Figueroa was able to leave the Langley church that he has not left for two years. He could not leave because the previous government had decided that he should be deported to his native El Salvador. His crime? He had been a member of a resistance movement that was fighting against the military dictatorship that at that time ruled El Salvador. If a dictatorship took over in Canada, I would step forward to fight to overthrow that government. Democracy matters. The group that Figueroa was supporting is now the democratically elected government in El Salvador. Back in Canada, the previous government chose to treat Figueroa like he was some sort of terrorist who should be forced to return to El Salvador, leaving his wife and Canadian-born children behind. This from a government that claimed to believe in family.

This from a government that I am sorry to say I did support in the past (prior to the most recent election). This brings us back to the present and the Langley-Aldergrove Conservative MP, Mark Warawa. Recently, I was driving along and heard him on a radio interview taking some credit for Figueroa’s release. While Warawa did write some letters and try to work with his government to secure Figueroa’s rights, he refused to admit that his government was the one that forced Figueroa to stay in the church, away from his family, for the past two years. I was disgusted with Warawa for taking to the airwaves at all. If he had been willing to admit his government’s error I would have had some respect for his efforts. Instead he chose to follow the party line of a defeated government. What kind of MP does that provide for Langley? ERIC O’DELL, SURREY

José’s freedom ‘best Christmas gift we could ask for’ Editor: We, along with the Figueroa family, received the best Christmas gift we could ask for two days before Christmas — José Figueroa was set free. What a sight it was. The moment he took his first step outside the church, God caused a bald eagle to circle overhead. That was the

universal sign of freedom that we all needed. We would also like to take this opportunity to personally thank the Honourable John McCallum, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship for making things right. We tip our glass to you. RON AND CHAR DEKROON, WALNUT GROVE

Late French Immersion Program Opportunities in Langley Schools MIR ANDA GATHER COLE L an gley Tim es

An apartment building now under construction in Murrayville will offer rental accommodations in a market with a 1.5 per cent vacancy rate. The building’s completion was delayed after the wood frame construction was destroyed in a suspected arson fire in May.

Metro Vancouver vacancy rates drop to 0.8 per cent

This program is currently offered at Alex Hope Elementary School, Noel Booth Elementary and Betty Gilbert Middle School. Please contact one of these schools directly for registration or more information. It’s not too late to discover the advantages of French Immersion in Langley Schools!

Rents climb as apartments become scarce throughout the region It has become tougher to find an apartment if you’re a renter. The apartment vacancy rate in Metro Vancouver dropped to 0.8 per cent in October, the lowest level since 2008, according to a new report from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. That’s a slight decrease from 1.0 per cent a year earlier, and it’s been an even steeper drop from 3.1 to 0.8 per cent in the Abbotsford-Mission area. Within Metro, vacancy rates were lower still in Vancouver — which had a rate of 0.6 per cent — as well as UBC, the North Shore and South Delta. South of the Fraser, the vacancy rates were 1.9 per cent in Surrey and 1.5 per cent in Langley.

The rates decreased by at least one percentage point in Langley, Pitt Meadows/Maple Ridge and Delta. The report cites population growth as a prime factor in the tightening rental market, as increased demand outpaces the construction of new units. Rising home prices in many markets may have deterred or delayed the home buying plans of some renters, keeping downward pressure on rental vacancy rates. “Continued price gains in the resale market have kept tenants in the rental market longer,” the report said. The average two-bedroom apartment now rents for $1,368 in Metro Vancouver, up from $1,311 a year earlier. In the Abbotsford-Mission area, two-bedroom rents are up to $864 from $835 a year ago.

Landlords are charging higher rents when units turnover, CMHC said, and the strong demand may also be allowing them to impose the maximum allowed rent increases on existing tenants. Rents vary widely across the region — the report notes average rents in Surrey are $359 lower than in the City of Vancouver. “The Abbotsford area, like much of the suburban area of Vancouver, is also becoming more desirable for its lower housing costs and strategic location,” the CMHC report said. “While most residents of Abbotsford City stay in the region to work, there are a number of commuting options, including the relatively new Port Mann Bridge, which helps to reduce commute time to the west side of the Lower Mainland.”

Rasha (left) and Talal Alhanna opened up the Hot and Toasty Cafe in Langley City. The cafe specializes in crepes and paninis and is a new family-run business. The couple’s 12-year-old son chose the name.

Like any good marriage, Talal Alhanna and his wife Rasha each bring their different skill sets to the table. And now the couple have combined to open up a new Langley City restaurant. “My wife has a passion for cooking and I have a background in management,” Talal said. “We thought if we could marry those together, we came up with the Hot and Toasty Cafe.” The name of the crepe and panini shop was chosen by the couple’s 12-year-old son Rami, who has long enjoyed his mother’s homemade crepes. The Syrian family

came to Canada nine years ago and while they live in Surrey, they love the vibe and feel of their downtown Langley cafe which is located on Salt Lane. Everything on the menu — which features breakfast crepes, savory crepes, sweet crepes, some vegetarian options, and a selection of paninis — is made in the cafe. The couple’s restaurant experience consists of working for Tim Horton’s, with Talal as a baker and Rasha in customer service. Talal also has a background in engineering, most recently working as a construction manager while his wife worked as a care aide. His background allowed him to do the renovations on the cafe

himself and he will eventually go back to that job once the cafe is up and running, leaving Rasha in charge of the day-to-day operations. “You have to always come up with new ideas, ways to improve your business,” Rasha said about the challenges of running a restaurant. The cafe also offers a daily brain-teasing puzzle, which if correctly solved, earns the customer a free medium coffee. The cafe, located at 5497 Salt Lane, is open Tuesday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. They also do delivery and the cafe is available for special occasions after 5 p.m. Call 604-427-4687 for more.

Valley Gravel Sales wins B.C. Mine Reclamation Award Small family business takes major provincial prize K U RT LAN G M A N N Bla ck Pre s s

A small family-owned gravel mining business is celebrating their big win of a provincial award usually reserved for the major mining companies. Last month (Dec. 4), the British Columbia Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation (TRCR) presented the annual Jake McDonald Mine Reclamation Award to Valley Gravel Sales Ltd. at a ceremony held in Vancouver. The trophy, a 70 pound piece of jade mounted on a wooden base, now includes the Valley Gravel Sales name alongside major play-

ers such as Teck Resources and Highland Valley Copper. “It’s the first time it’s been awarded to a small player like ourselves,” said Barry McLean, who along with his brother Alan owns the Valley Gravel Sales business in Aldergrove. “One of our staff dubbed it the Stanley Cup of land reclamation.” The award is in recognition of Valley Gravel Sales work in reclaiming three Abbotsford gravel pit properties between 2010 and 2013 to a standard where agricultural capability is at least equal or superior to the agricultural capability prior to gravel extraction. Those three properties in West Abbotsford, totaling 37 acres, were mined over the course of about a dozen years before three years’ worth of work was put into the final reclamation process, which wrapped up in 2013. Three

feet of sand and screened topsoil was laid down to create ideal growing medium on the acreages, which have since been sold to farmers who now have it in agricultural production. More than a million tonnes of gravel was removed before final reclamation. The topsoil had been stored on the property and the sand was screened from onsite material as well. Barry and Alan said that approach has been the practice since their late father, Doug McLean started the company in 1973 alongside their older brothers Rod and Norm. Alan joined the business in 1983, followed by Barry in 1995. “Dad was a farmer at heart — dairy and beef cattle — and he believed in putting the land back in use for farming, even before the Agricultural Land Commis-

sion was created and all the new rules came into effect,” said Alan. “Land which is very steep or hilly or rocky can be mined and reclaimed, with the help of agrologists, hydrologists and engineers who assist in how to mine and finish the property. We just have to follow a set of drawings. Screening the topsoil is a lot more expensive but gives the best results.” Valley Gravel Sales supplies customers such as concrete manufacturers with washed sand and rock, mined from their properties in West Abbotsford. The Metal Mine Reclamation Category Award was presented to Huckleberry Mines Limited for its habitat compensation works in the form of successful remediation of fishways in a local creek in the vicinity of the Huckleberry copper mine near Houston.

“By their successful balancing of job creation with environmental commitment, these companies exemplify B.C.’s dedication to responsible mining. I thank them for the important work they do in ensuring that B.C.’s mining industry earns the community acceptance that is necessary for a successful, sustainable mining industry,” said Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review. “We are very pleased to recognize the innovation that is characterized by the award winners,” said Jonathan Buchanan, Chair of the TRCR. “From reclaimed agricultural land in the Fraser Valley to revitalized water and terrain landscapes at one of B.C.’s metal mines, we are pleased to recognize two leaders in B.C. mine reclamation.”

Do you have an earthquake kit?

EARTHQUAKE AWARENESS Earthquake 101 - We live in an earthquake zone What does this mean? We can experience three types of earthquakes, see attached Natural Resources Canada picture: 1. The crustal ones are close to the surface, violent, and short lasting – these happen extremely rarely, and they are not felt far away. 2. The deep crustal ones happen frequently along the coast, and sometimes effect populated areas – such as Nisqually’s 2001 earthquake, and last week’s Sidney earthquake – both of these quakes were felt by Langleyites (is that what we call ourselves? :) These quakes are felt far away due to the quake location and radiating movement. 3. The subduction zone earthquake, also called the ‘Big One’, would last for minutes, and be felt by most within the west coast regions. Langley citizens would feel like they are standing on a moving boat, as there would be a rocking motion created by the moving earth.

What are the consequences? Looking at other earthquakes that have happened around the world, we know: • Power may be out for days • Sewer and water lines may be out for weeks • Transportation capabilities and routes may be altered temporarily that may extend months and years • Our building codes are good and most buildings will withstand the movement • Older buildings, especially those built with brick, are susceptible to major impacts • Health care system will be temporarily overwhelmed with the influx of impacted injuries

What can you do? • Sign up for eAlerts on the TOL website – during events, updates will be sent directly to your email • For more information and links, visit the Langley Emergency Program’s website at langleyemergency.ca • Sign up for notifications and preparedness information via social media: Facebook & Twitter at LangleyPrepared Understand that after an earthquake, regular first responders will be overwhelmed and there will be a delay in getting to those trapped and injured • You will be in charge of your personal safety, wherever you are (work, play, home…holidays) • You need to look after loved ones to ensure their safety: if you cannot, appoint someone who will • Know what the school will do (for children) and what your work expectations are • Have a communications plan – know how you will connect afterwards and where everyone will meet • Take a first aid course, so you can look after minor injuries and help others, neighbours and friends • Have enough equipment, food and water to ‘camp’ for seven days (including a porta-potty with sterile hand wipes) Start small – but start!

Playoffs the focus as Stealth start season GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Close won’t cut it in 2016. That is the feeling of the Vancouver Stealth as they get set to embark on the National Lacrosse League season, which gets underway on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre with a visit from the New England Black Wolves at 7 p.m. “(The playoffs) are obviously the goal. It is why you play the game,” said Stealth general manager Doug Locker. “Every team wants to win the championship and the first step is making the playoffs.” The Stealth are set for their third season based out of Langley but the previous two campaigns have both ended short of

qualifying for the post-season. The team needed just a victory in their final game to qualify for the post-season last year, but came up short, losing by a single goal. They were 0-3 in one-goal contests and finished 5-13 on the season, allowing a leaguehigh 265 goals. That works out to be 14.7 per game while the league average is 11.8 per game. The Stealth allowed a dozen or more goals in 16 of their 18 games in 2015, finishing a dismal 3-13 in those contests. Another glaring statistic for the team was the fact if they were down after three quarters, they were not coming back: the Stealth were 0-12 when heading into the fourth quarter trailing on the scoreboard.

“The stat last year, while it is relevant, was symptomatic of a whole bunch of things that went wrong,” Locker said. Part of the problem was that many of the times, the team was trailing by multiple goals, which forced them to abandon their game plan in an effort to get on even terms. “My hope is we are not going to be trailing in as many games going into the fourth quarter,” Locker said. The biggest change on the team’s roster is on the back end. Eric Penney takes over the reins as the team’s top goaltender after appearing in a handful of games in 2015. He is also coming off a stellar summer Western Lacrosse As-

sociation season where he was named the league’s top goalie as well as co-rookie of the year with New Westminster. “I learned a lot about the pace of the game last year and over the summer,” he said. “It’s a lot faster than it was in junior and the ball is always moving. “The guys are so skilled at this level that you have to always be ready and play every shooter honest each and every possession.” Penney’s goals against average was 14.74 in 2015 as he went 1-4. While his GAA ranked worst, the promising sign was that his save percentage (.754) had him ranked tied for 12th out of the 19 goaltenders who saw action. And if all goes according to

plan, Penney’s job will be made easier with an improved defence in front of him. “I think we are a little bit quicker,” said coach Dan Perreault. “It is a nice balance of youth and veteran guys.” One added boost is the return of Matt Beers, who missed all of 2015 because of work commitments. Beers and free agent signees Jeff Moleski, Ian Hawksbee and Brier Jonathan join returnees Chris O’Dougherty captain Curtis Hodgson to form the backend. “We gave up a lot of goals last year and I think it starts defensively,” Hodgson said.

addition to the $3000 already raised to spend on the library! Not knowing what to expect Ms. Henriksen visited the store when it opened on Tuesday only to be presented with a large gift bag full of books, each chosen by a Coles staff person for students to enjoy. As if that wasn’t enough, Ms. Henriksen was also presented a cheque for $5000! With the first campaign that raised $3000 and the additional $5000, Fort Langley Elementary now has nearly $8000 in Indigo gift cards to spend on books for the library, all in addition to the many books provided by Coles and donations. Fort Langley Elementary is very pleased to have been a part of the Indigo Adopt-a-School Campaign, Giving Day from Indigo and very grateful to the wonderful people at Coles Books in WIllowbrook Shopping Centre. In the words of Ms. Henriksen, “we are feeling very fortunate!”

Fort Langley Elementary participated in the Indigo Adopt-a-School campaign this year and was lucky enough to have Coles Books adopt the school for the program. The giving began this past summer when Coles gave the students of Fort Langley Elementary four boxes of brand new books – sets of six of some of their most popular books – mostly novels. Fort Langley then participated in the Adopt-a-School campaign which allows people to ‘adopt’ the school and donate to the fund. Coles also advertised on behalf of Fort Langley and between what was raised in the store and what parents contributed in monetary donations and “adopts”, almost $3000 was raised. But that was not the end! In early December, Fort Langley Principal Tia Henriksen received a call from Coles Books in Willowbrook to see if she would be free to come to the store because they had more gifts for the school in

WGSS Student Selected as National Finalist for Loran Scholar Award Loran Scholar selection criteria are character, commitment to service in the community and leadership potential. After national interviews, 30 Loran Scholars will be chosen. Awards are valued at $100,000 over four years, including an annual stipend and matching tuition waiver, access to summer internship funding, a weeklong Outward Bound expedition, annual retreats and forums, as well as personal mentorship.

‘Nervous energy’ on season’s eve From Page 19

The additions on defence and at the transition position increased the team’s depth as well as their lacrosse IQ, which should factor where it matters most, the captain explained. “I think the moves will give us the push to get more wins,” he said. “There is lots of anticipation,” said Garrett Billings, who returns home to Langley after the Stealth acquired him via trade in the off-season. “Some nervous energy for not only the players, but the organization as a whole. We made a lot of changes.” The offence was middle of the pack at 11.7 goals per game and Billings should help boost that. He joins the returning forward corps of Rhys Duch (41 goals, 103 points), Corey Small (32 goals, 75 points), Logan Schuss (22 goals, 66 points) and Joel McCready (30 goals, 51 points). “(Garrett) adds a different element to the way we can hurt opponents,” Locker said. “I think he brings the

Vancouver Stealth fans are hoping for more reasons to cheer in 2016 as the Stealth begin their National Lacrosse League season tomorrow (Saturday) night at the Langley Events Centre. ability to (not only) score goals … but to feed the ball, to really open up those lefties a bit more.” Billings should also help the team’s power play, which was sixth in terms of percentage. Overall, the special teams suffered in 2015. Vancouver had 29 power-play goals (they scored 45 but allowed 16) while allowing 46 when a man down (opposing teams scored 52

power-play goals compared to six Stealth short-handed markers) for a special teams differential of -17. Only Buffalo and Minnesota were worse at -18. The team also struggled with putting together a consistent 60-minute effort. “The league is so good that you can’t let any potential wins slip away from you,” Perreault said. “You can’t let a quarter slip away

and let a team get on a run. Just be consistent and the wins will take care of themselves.” Prior to moving to Langley, the Stealth franchise had made the post-season in six of the past seven seasons but have missed the past two. “My message to the guys this year is it is up to us to be accountable and establish that winning culture again,” Hodgson said.

Cholowski, Lansdell set to skate in top prospects game When the top junior A hockey prospects hit the ice later this month, a pair of Langley teens will be among those skating for the NHL scouts in attendance. Forward Jesse Lansdell and defenceman Dennis Cholowski were named to Team West’s roster for the game, which will be played Jan. 26 at South Surrey Arena. Both Cholowski and Lansdell are members of the Chilliwack Chiefs. The game features 40 of the top junior A players from across the

five Canadian leagues. ••• Given a second chance against Kamloops, the Langley Eagles won when it mattered most: the gold medal game. The two A1 atom rep hockey teams were playing in the championship finals of the Abbotsford Minor Atom Rep Tournament just before Christmas. And in the team’s first game during round-robin play, they played to a 3-3 draw. The tie was the lone blemish on Langley’s record as they went 4-0-

1 at the tournament. Other results included winning 7-2 over Chilliwack and 3-1 against Nanaimo in round robin play and then beating Chilliwack 6-0 in the semifinals. ••• It is shaping up to be a busy start to 2016 for the Team Tardi curling rink. The rink — which is made up of curlers from the Langley Curling Club and the Royal City Curling Club — took the title at the B.C. junior curling championships in Kamloops on Sunday.

The side is made up of skip Tyler Tardi, third Daniel Wenzek, second Jordan Tardi, lead Nicholas Meister, fifth Sterling Middleton and coach Paul Tardi. They went into the finals undefeated and continued their run with an 8-3 victory over the Matthew McCrady rink by a score of 8-3 in the gold medal match. The result qualifies the rink for the 2016 Canadian junior curling championships in Stratford, Ont. later this month. The winner of the championships will qualify for the world junior curling

championships in Turkey. The Tardi rink has also earned a spot at the B.C. men’s curling championships next month in Nelson. — with files from Tom Zillich/Black Press ••• The Langley Rivermen were on the wrong end of a 7-2 score against the Chilliwack Chiefs on Wednesday night in Chilliwack. Langley trailed 3-2 after one period with goals from Matthew Graham and Justin Fregona, but Chilliwack scored the final four.

Overland trip to the Island’s wild and rugged west coast through the quaint community of Port Alberni and by the river where we counted fish jumping. Well, my passenger did. The rain fell along twisty road around Sproat and Kennedy Lakes, though it wasn’t the downpour promised. It was a blessing because it meant taking the truck to the speed limit and it just hugged the road in the corners. The air suspension guaranteed a luxury limo ride. The eight-speed transmission offered smooth ascent and descent through high country that forms Sutton Pass. In some uphill stretches, there were a few too many gear changes but slipping it into sport mode fixed that. A couple of hours travelling through breathtaking scenery brought us to the Tofino/ Ucluelet junction and sunshine! Minutes later, the first bottle was cracked and the magnificent view from the room’s balcony of Big Beach and a rocky grove enjoyed. Day two took us through slippery conditions on trails around the amazing Long Beach, which offered a glimpse of the Jeep’s considerably off-road capabilities. (Resisted the temptation to surf there.) Off-road fans are not going to buy this to pursue their hobby but it’s a fabulous vehicle for winter sports fans.

driveway Audi A3 Sportback e-tron receives Green Connected Car recognition The soon-to-launch Audi A3 Sportback e-tron earned recognition as a leader in sustainable propulsion by qualifying as a finalist for the 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year and 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year awards. They will be presented at the Washington Auto Show on January 21. The awards “recognize vehicles that exhibit laudable environmental achievement,” according to Green Car Journal, which oversees the awards. “Along with improved environmental performance, traditional buyer touchstones like functionality, safety, quality, value and performance are also considered.”

For the Connected award, the magazine also considers, “the integration of connected technologies that enhance efficiency, safety and the driving experience.” The Audi A3 Sportback e-tron plug-in hybrid features the most advanced version of the Audi connect platform, which provides the benefits of access to information and content, when needed, through interfaces designed for the in-vehicle environment. Audi A3 Sportback e-tron also was a finalist for the national Green Car of the Year Award bestowed by Green Car Journal and given at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

Your Langley Honda Dealer

Serving Langley for over 20 years! Walking into a car dealership can be intimidating and

My wife and I just bought a new Civic and the experience

nerve wracking. Being as this was my first time making a huge purchase, I was four hundred times more nervous. Everyone was friendly and made the experience extremely positive! Alan was friendly, funny, and and helpful! He went above and beyond our expectations and I couldn’t have been happier! All in all, I would recommend Alan and Jonker Honda to everyone, especially my friends who are at the same stage as I am and ready to make a commitment to buying their first car. ~ CWebs

was very positive. Our salesman Eric was polite , knowledgeable, and very helpful without the feeling of being pressured into finalizing a purchase. Eric’s orientation to the vehicle was terrific as he went through all the details. Since our purchase, Eric has followed up with a telephone call and was more than welcoming to meet with us a second time to help us better understand some of newer options we are not familiar with. Overall, Eric and the support staff made our purchase easy and done in a very professional manner. ~ Jack and Judy

We were looking for a new 2015 Honda CR-V Touring, tried two other dealerships, they did not have any in stock. We found one in the Jonker Honda dealership, where we were dealing with sales consultant Alan Cheung. Because of Alan’s professional attitude which has impressed us we decided to purchase this particular vehicle. The car was ready in a few days since we have ordered extras, and this took some time to get and deliver to the dealership. The buying process was quite convenient and friendly, we would recommend Alan to our friends. ~ A.V.

I was looking for a car that would be nice, small, and convenient for school. I didn’t know what type of car I wanted at first. I came upon the Honda Civic Coupe at Jonker Honda and fell in love with the car instantly. My sales consultant Sarav and Jonker Honda dealership was patient and friendly. They were able to give me a very good deal on the car which I could not have at any other dealerships. I would definitely recommend Jonker Honda to my friends in the future. Thanks! ~ Sarah

PDI & FRT INCLUDED BASE 5 SPEED

Our recent new car purchase at Surrey/Langley Jonker Honda was due to the sales consultant’s knowledge of the product, high level of professionalism with a courteous and honest manner. After much research on our part in seeking the perfect car, Erick and Byron had great instincts in helping us make the right choice. This dealership’s business office staff are to be commended as well. All of the staff that we have been in recent contact with are a credit to this car dealership. Also, by purchasing at a local/nearby and reputable car dealership seemed to us a practical after sales option. We expect that there will be continued quality assurance gained by our car purchase at Langley Jonker Honda. ~ S.S.

I called to ask questions about a used car on the lot and Frank was amazing. Very informative and never any pressure. When I came down to the dealership from Vancouver, Frank made the entire experience comfortable. I had other options at dealerships and private sales and I felt so looked after that I didn’t want to buy from anywhere else. I highly recommend coming to Jonker Honda for your next new or used vehicle. Ask for Frank! ~ K.S.
