The
Great Divide
MIR ANDA GAT HE R C OLE Langley Time s
36 Avenue is now one of the dividing lines between Brookswood and Fernridge after Township council narrowly voted in favour of the change.
Fernridge, Brookswood are now considered separate areas after lengthy debate by Township councillors Monday afternoon MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti me s Re po r t e r
The line has been drawn. Fernridge is now considered a separate area from Brookswood, with a border that starts at 196 Street and traces along 33A Avenue, up 200 Street to 36 Avenue, and then up 208 Street to 43 Avenue. Anything south of that — or essentially, the undeveloped rural areas — is now distinctly Fernridge.
The decision was not made easily by Township council, as councillors debated the issue for over an hour on Monday afternoon. The final vote to endorse the boundaries and have an engagement strategy squeaked by with only Councillors Charlie Fox, Blair Whitmarsh, Angie Quaale, Bob Long and Mayor Jack Froese in favour. The issue for several sitting at the council table was public conServing since 1968 24/7 Service to & from Van Intl. Airport

anything. “I really feel quite strongly about us endorsing this set of boundaries for Fernridge when we haven’t consulted with the public,” she said. “Public engagement was a priority for this council last year, it’s a priority for us this year, we should be putting our money where our mouth is. And if we really believe in public engagement, then this is — by gosh and by golly — the number one poster child for getting public engagement.” Richter made a motion to consult with the public before council moves forward on a boundary decision, which was subsequently

defeated. Only councillors Petrina Arnason, Michelle Sparrow and David Davis were in agreement. “We get public input on development permits — which is form, sighting and character — yet we’re going to make a hardline decision on a new community, and we’re saying we don’t need public input on it?” Sparrow said. “It’s boggling to me that we would even be dealing with this without ... (a) public input session.” Sparrow asked why council is endorsing the public engagement strategy for the Fernridge Community Plan, when they have yet to approve the Township-wide engagement strategy. “I think we’re putting the horse before the cart in several aspects to this, but most importantly I think that this is a major decision that we are making that needs to have public input, and I can’t see how we can move forward without that,” she said. Coun. Arnason asked if there are legal implications to reconfiguring boundaries within an existing Official Community Plan, to which CAO Mark Bakken replied, no. On the other side, several members of council felt the name debate was irrelevant. “This issue of title and name of the area I think is a red herring and it’s throwing us all off,” said Coun. Blair Whitmarsh. “We’re getting into debates and arguments about where a boundary might lie, when really we should begin to sit and talk about how do we want our community to look in that undeveloped space and move forward.” Whitmarsh noted that the area already calls for an additional 20,000 to 25,000 people to move in under the existing 1987 plan. These people cannot be accommodated in the developed Brookswood area, he said. “This is an opportunity for us now to take a 1987 plan, and to provide new planning principles to update it to consider environmental concerns (and) to consider traffic flow differently than we might have in 1987,” he said. “Why not allow us to have input into a new plan, a new vision for this area? “We know the undeveloped area

Members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team remain at the Langley hotel at Baselines Pub where a man was found dead inside one of the rooms on Friday (Jan. 22).

There have been no arrests at this time. No motive for this death has been discussed or how the man died. The BC Coroner’s Service is assisting to help determine what led up to the man’s death. The victim won’t be named until notification of next of kin is complete, said IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Stephanie Ashton. This is the second murder to take place in and around Baselines Pub. It was June 2015, when well-known homeless man Wells Tony Gallagher, 37, (known as Miles) was stabbed to death outside
Baselines Pub. David Christopher Van Den Brink, also a homeless man, was arrested and charged with second degree murder. Van Den Brink remains behind bars and his preliminary hearing takes place in April.

Two charged in Langley murder investigations Deaths of Kevin LeClair and Jonathan Barber were the result of violent gang turf war that still continues today D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Two men have been charged in connection with the brazen February 2009 daylight shooting in a busy Walnut Grove mall which killed 26-year-old Kevin LeClair of Abbotsford and the May 2008, shooting death of 23-year-old Jonathan Alex Barber of Langley who was killed while driving a Porsche Cayenne in Burnaby. Murder charges have been laid against 32-year-old Troy Tran of Vancouver and another 31-year-old man, whose name is being withheld. The announcement was made at a Monday press conference by Supt. Dwayne McDonald, officer in charge of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). McDonald said both men are believed to be part of the United Nations gang, which was involved in a violent turf war be-
tween 2007 and 2009 with the rival Red Scorpion gang run by the Bacon brothers, Jonathon, Jarrod and Jamie. The arrests were the result of a joint forces project involving dozens of officers from IHIT, the anti-gang Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC), RCMP Lower Mainland District, Calgary Police Service, Vancouver Police Department, and E-Division RCMP Support Services. Police executed 13 search warrants at locations throughout the Lower Mainland and Calgary this past weekend, an IHIT statement said. A third man, alleged UN Gang member David Murphy of Surrey, was arrested and charged with possession for the purposes of trafficking, possession of stolen property and possession of a prohibited firearm. “These homicides create an effect on our communities that
is lasting, that does not diminish with time” McDonald said. Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett of CFSEU-BC said the fight against gang violence continues. “It is important for both the public and those who wish to spread violence through gang activity, to know that we along with all our law enforcement partners are united and are committed in our fight against gang violence,” Hackett said. LeClair, an Abbotsford resident, died in hospital two days after he was shot several times at close range while driving his pickup truck. He was chased into the busy Walnut Grove Thunderbird Village mall parking lot by two vehicles, one a van and the other a car. As many as 40 shots were heard. One witness told The Times Continued Page 5

she watched from her apartment balcony as a dark grey pickup was sprayed with bullets from what appeared to be an automatic weapon, fired from another vehicle in the parking lot of the shopping centre at 88 Avenue, east of 200 Street. The day before the shooting, LeClair was seen giving Jonathan Bacon, the oldest of the Bacon brothers, a ride in his truck in Port Moody.
Another man, Vancouver resident Conor D’Monte, described by police as the leader of the UN gang, has also been charged with the LeClair murder and is still at large. Barber was killed while driving a Porsche Cayenne in Burnaby. Barber, a stereo installer, was taking the vehicle to have some electronics installed when he was shot by United Nations gang members who were after the Bacons. Police described Bar-
ber as “a complete innocent just doing his job” who had no idea he was working on a vehicle that was linked to the Bacons.

Stephen Thomas Morse appeared in Surrey Provincial Court by video last week, where the case was adjourned for a further three weeks. He is scheduled to return on Feb. 2.

in a nearby park. The vehicle’s technology proved the man’s key fob had been used at the time of the incident, contrary to what he claimed. Bus Blues — A bus hit a parked fire truck while turning in a bus loop. After all passengers exited and the driver exchanged information with the fire truck driver, another man claimed to have been on board the bus and later sought compensation. Security camera video showed the man was never on the bus. He was fined and jailed one night for fraud. ICBC conducted 7,500 fraud investigations last year and its special investigations unit has secured 550 fraud convictions since 2010. “We’re going to devote more resources than we ever have to rooting out fraud,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said, adding there will be new fraud analytic tools. An estimated 10 to 20 per cent of auto insurance claims are at least exaggerated if not fraudulent.

We’ll get you through your injury claim.
ICBC is vowing to do more to bust auto insurance fraudsters whose scams add an estimated $100 a year to the premiums all other drivers pay. The public auto insurer released its top “Hall of Shame” fraud claims for 2015 where B.C. residents tried to scam the system last year. They include: Dish Dodger — A man claimed his crash injuries were so severe he couldn’t help his wife wash the dishes, but investigators later got footage of him lifting a box of heavy floor tiles at his work site. He was fined $1,500 for fraud. Double Dipper — A Vancouver woman who claimed she couldn’t go back to work because of her crash injuries. An anonymous tip helped investigators confirm she had worked since the crash, collecting two paycheques – one from her employer and one from ICBC. Her fraud conviction netted her a one-year driving suspension
and $1,750 fine. Mom Cover-up — A Vancouver Island mother claimed her Audi was stolen and crashed and that her sons with access to the car were home. But phone records put one son at the scene of the crash and BC Ferry terminal cameras caught the same son buying a ticket. Both were convicted of giving false statements. The mom was fined $2,300, while the son was fined $1,150 and got a oneyear suspension, plus a 90-day jail term because his licence was already suspended. Dash Cam Disclosure — A camera caught another vehicle sideswiping his on dash cam video and excitedly shared the footage with ICBC. His claim was denied because the video also showed he wasn’t actually driving, as he’d claimed. An unlicensed driver was behind the wheel.

Former Township councillor runs in Langley City
Two arrested for assault on man Ridge Meadows RCMP have arrested two 20-year-old Maple Ridge men in connection to the Jan. 17 assault that left a Langley man in hospital with a head injury. “The investigation has resulted in the arrests of two individuals who police believe are responsible for the serious assault,” Ridge-Meadows Cpl. Brenda Winpenny. “As reported, a 20 year old Langley man was hospitalized after he was punched and knocked to the ground.” The victim had reportedly been at Rooster’s Cabaret with friends when they went to the nearby Subway restaurant. There an altercation took place while the victim was trying to call a cab. It’s alleged he walked towards the altercation and that is where he was assaulted. The victim’s condition has improved but it is unknown if there will be any long lasting injury as a result of the incident, said Winpenny. The two men were released from jail with a promise to appear in court at a later date.

OPINION
Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com
Dispelling myths If we’re going to have a discussion about the homelessness problem in the Langleys, it would be helpful if the opinions expressed were based on facts. So here are some things you ought to know, courtesy of a true-and-false online quiz posted by the stophomelessness.ca website (You can learn more by visiting the site). 1. Most homeless people don’t sleep on the street. Researchers estimate that up to four out of five homeless use shelters, sleep in their vehicles, or “couch-surf.” 2. Homeless people often sleep during the day in public places, not out of laziness, but because they don’t have a safe place to sleep at night. 3. It is a myth to say all homeless people are addicts or alcoholics. Studies show that less than half suffer from addictions. 4. It’s not just adults. There are homeless children. The 2011 Metro Vancouver Homeless Count found there were at least 54 kids, accompanied by adults who were homeless. 5. That panhandler who scared you? Not necessarily homeless. Some have housing and panhandle to supplement their income. 6. Homelessness is not just a big city issue. The 2011 homeless count found the largest increases in homelessness occurred in Langley and Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows. 7. Canada is the only G8 country that does not have a national housing plan, which means there is no co-ordinated strategy to get people off the streets. 8. It may be emotionally satisfying to say homeless people should just get a job, but the reality is a little more complicated. People who are homeless face many challenges in getting and keeping employment. Without an address or phone it is, to say the least, a challenge to apply for work and receive calls from possible employers. Many employers require certain equipment or clothing, like work boots and hard hats. Things that working people need to do, like take a shower, wear clean clothes and pay for transportation are also difficult for the homeless. The questionnaire asserts three things need to happen to end homelessness: 1) an adequate income; 2) affordable housing; 3) support services for those who need them.

driving record. I was stunned when I moved back to the province in the late 1990s, after spending time in Alberta and Saskatchewan (where a few hundred dollars would give you basic coverage for the year) to see my rates skyrocket. Yes, B.C. has more dangerous winding mountain roads, and denser pockets of population and we all pay for the added risk these conditions create. Whether that’s fair is another conversation. So why, then, do I also need to cough up an additional $100, so that, for example, a Vancouver woman who’d claimed she was too injured to work could sneak away to her job and effectively collect two paycheques. She made the list, too. In 2015, ICBC opened approximately 7,500 fraud investigations. Those who are caught and convicted are fined and otherwise punished. But for every cheater who is nabbed — whether it’s thanks to new-fangled technology or old-fashioned sleuthing — just think of how many likely don’t get busted. They’re out there, “cheating themselves,” left, right and centre. And the rest of us are left paying the price.

Mixed reaction to homeless camp garding land? You do have land — it’s called Gateway of Hope. You also have a choice. We too have a choice, and we have chosen to abide by the rules, and live within walls. A part of me is sympathetic, but I’m tired of all the hard-working people, families, seniors, and children who are constantly victimized and who end up paying for it. The next time an outreach worker comes calling, maybe you and your friends should take them up on their offer. S. STEVENS,
Yes, Township should set aside land Editor: (Re: Langley Times Question of the Week) Yes, I think the Township should set aside land to serve as designated camp for those who need it. The City of Langley has not come up with any solutions to help solve the problem. Some people are homeless as a direct result of being addicted to gambling at the very casino that the City gets most of its revenue from. If the City became one government with the Township we would save a lot of tax payers’ money. We are in the day of “reduce, recycle, and reuse.” We have two mayors and two municipal buildings and all the administrative costs. If we reduced and only had one government municipally, who then might become homeless? We need to help the people who have resided in Langley to be treated with love and respect. (We should) love our neighbour as ourselves, and they are our neighbours. SUSAN MESSENT,
LANGLEY
ALDERGROVE
Complicated problem with simple truths
‘Sick and tired’ of theft, panhandling and mess Editor: (Regarding the Times’ Jan. 20 story about the Township’s cleanup of a homeless camp) Do I feel sorry for Mr. Halverson? No. What I feel sorry for are the kids who can no longer use the trails and parks safely by themselves and the seniors who are also afraid to walk the trails, while the homeless take over. I feel sorry for paying higher taxes so that Township/City employees can clean up the park space. I feel sorry that our once pristine park space is being littered by garbage, stolen shopping carts, discarded needles, sewage, etc. All those bikes, wagons, and buggies being used as crime carts are being missed by their owners. Mr. Halverson, why is it you have a second bike? I don’t have a sec-
Editor: Regarding your question of the week about Langley supplying space for people who are currently homeless: People smarter than me have yet to come up with any long-term solutions. It is complicated, but I think there are some simple truths about these people: they deserve a space to sleep at night, they deserve to maintain their personal privacy and dignity, and if they currently cannot pay for those things, we as a wealthy and privileged society could provide it if we chose to. And I think we should. One idea I have been thinking of is about what kind of space would work. From what I gather, it is not pleasant to sleep in a public setting, and your things get stolen when you sleep in a shelter. Why not build a spot with partial walls and a solid roof with the floor painted in a grid. Each personal gets a square big enough to erect a tent and park a bicycle. They are responsible for the cleanliness of their own spot. It would not be too expensive to maintain and people could pay a small fee to make them feel responsible, such as $3 per night. I know it can’t be quite this simple but it would be a starting point. JOANNE OSTER,
Editor: While I agree with Mr. Mitchell (The Times, Jan. 22) in his concerns regarding the future of the Fraser Valley traffic corridors, an in-depth review of a detailed map will show that Highway 1 and 16 Avenue are the only clear routes from Highway 99 the to the Abbotsford border. These two routes were laid out back in the day when the railroad was the primary method of east/west travel, and the valley was only farmland. The fact that transportation need of the valley have been ignored by our Township is a “too late to the table” reality. No one — Township or province, and primarily taxpayers — can bear the outrageous costs of the land, let alone building a four-lane roadway. It is apparent the residents along 16 Avenue must hold the province’s and Township’s feet to the fire. Planning ahead of any anticipated action should include an independent property appraisal prior to any discussion regarding expropriation. I have mine in hand in anticipation of the required roadwork on Highway13. TERRY BRENAN,

COMMITMENT TO QUALITY OF CARE
Maxmillions winner plans to pay it forward by helping animals It was a surreal moment for Loriann Sandy when she discovered she’d won a $1 million Maxmillion prize in the Dec. 18 Lotto Max draw. “I still don’t feel this is real. I am still asking myself if this is real,” admitted Sandy. Sandy was alone when she checked her ticket, but was able to drive herself home safely before telling her mother about the win. “She is very excited about my win. “My mom has already shared the news

with the rest of our family,” she said. Sandy is passionate about animals and plans to buy a big SUV with her winnings so she can accommodate her cat and two Rottweilers. She also plans to pay it forward and donate money to Rottweiler Rescue in Vancouver and the BC SPCA. “I think this is good karma because I love to help animals and I donate to the BC SPCA monthly,” said Sandy. The winning ticket was purchased at Ed’s Market in Brookswood.

Terry and Helene Causton took over the business from Terry’s brother almost 10 years ago. Today, their two adult daughters, Megan and Erin, also work alongside them on a part-time basis while pursuing their studies. Even after all these years, the couple still get a kick out of watching how excited young children get when they see the train pass them by while they are eating. “It’s always fun to watch - they get very taken with it,” said Terry, who as a young child had a train setup that both he and his brother were enthralled with while growing up in England. “I think the whole notion of the trains here at the restaurant came from our childhood and the train we both had. It spanned the whole length of the attic - so many memories!” While the moving locomotives at Choo Choo’s may be up high and out of arm’s reach, the Causton’s invite patrons of all ages to choose from a bevy of toy trains

It was 1992, and the family gathered around the TV to watch Growing Pains and Cheers. The phone was probably attached to the wall and not tethered by a earbud, we went to the video store (remember them?) for weekend entertainment, and Choo Choo’s was serving up fun and fresh home cooking in the heart of downtown Langley. It takes something special to become a local landmark over the years - one that attracts tourists and regular patrons from all over the Fraser Valley and beyond. From the iconic train that circles inside the perimeter of the dining room, thrilling both young and young at heart, and the made-from-scratch consistently good food to the cozy atmosphere, prime location and friendly service, it’s no wonder this one-of-a-kind restaurant continues to steam full-speed ahead into the future.

There’s a family dining room with train tables for wee ones to play with - a popular space for families with young children. There’s no doubt about it that the train theme may draw patrons in, but it’s the food that keeps them coming back. “We pride ourselves on our menu. We still make all our own food- soups, sauces, etc. After 23 years, our fresh burgers and schnitzels are still a hit This month we’re having a special on our schnitzels.

We also have some long term staff - our kitchen manager has been with us for over 20 years — it’s a real enjoyable place to work and dine.” he said. As far as location is concerned, Choo Choo’s is stationed in a prime spot. “I just love downtown Langley - especially the one-way,” said Terry. “There’s a real sense of community here that’s lacking in a lot of other places in the Lower Mainland.” Terry and Helene invite regulars and newcomers to climb aboard Choo Choo’s unique dining experience.

Fashion with compassion Langley designer creates clothing line for kids with complex medical needs MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
They may look like ordinary dresses, T-shirts and sweaters, but Taylor Byrom’s children’s clothing serves a much greater purpose. Using simple design altercations, Byrom’s first fashion line — Jolie Hart — is fully functional with feeding tubes, tracheotomy tubes, wheelchairs and sensory processing disorders. Created for girls ages 2 to 6, the soft fabrics, removable backs and button-up sides make dressing a child with complex medical needs one step easier. “I wanted to do something that was helpful,” the 24-yearold Langley designer said. “It wasn’t just clothing. It could actually affect someone and change their life and enhance their life. It wouldn’t just be T-shirts, it would be something that really does change the way someone sees fashion.” Officially launched on Nov. 20, Byrom has worked with BC Children’s Hospital, the Feeding Tube Awareness Foundation, the Centre for Child Development at Surrey Memorial Hospital, Canuck Place and parent advisory groups to tailor her products to what her clients need. “When I did the research, it actually came back that boys were more needed,” Byrom said. “But every mom who had a daughter said this to me: ‘my daughter with a feeding tube cannot wear a dress.’
“That was just heartbreaking to me, being such a girly girl. “Girls need to be able to wear dresses if they chose to do that.” Originally, Byrom set out to be a designer for women’s wear. It’s a dream she’s had since taking home economic classes in high school, and a career path she was following until her last year of fashion design school at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. As a class requirement, she had to write a 10-page personal vision statement on who she was and what kind of designer she wanted to be. “I never thought I would do children’s clothing, I couldn’t understand why you would want to make something that you couldn’t wear,” Byrom said. “But it amazes me how that paper in fourth year just changed my outlook on life. It made me realize that children’s wear was actually my passion, I had no idea. I didn’t expect it to at all. I put that paper off for months. It changed my whole perspective on design and who I am as a designer and what I need to do.” Byrom says it was a “serendipitous moment,” as when she was writing the paper, she was also volunteering at miracle weekend for BC Children’s Hospital. That’s when it dawned on her that many of the children would benefit from specialized clothing. After months of research, she created Jolie Hart as her final collection at KPU in 2013. The clothing she sells now still use those original designs, with many improvements. Working out of Kwantlen’s Design lab in Surrey, Byrom creates each item by hand. “I tried to design each piece to accommodate many needs,” she said. “I make sure to use as minimal seaming as possible,

I think a nice thing, especially for girls. They need to look super cute, and as cute as everyone else.” For more on Byrom and Jolie Hart, visit her website and online store at taylorhartdesigns.com.

Miss Teen BC Shalom Reimer is looking for sponsors to attend the Miss Teen Canada pageant in Quebec this spring.
Miss Teen BC hits national stage MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
After winning the Miss Teen BC title this past summer, Fort Langley’s Shalom Reimer is ready to take the national stage — that is, if she can raise the money to do so. The 17-year-old Pacific Academy student has been invited to the Miss Teen Canada competition in Quebec in March. And unlike previous generations of winners, such as her mother, who once bore the same Miss Teen BC title, Reimer must pay her own way. Now, she is asking her community for help in raising $2,500 so she may take part in the week-long Miss Teen Canada program. “That title will really benefit throughout my entire
university years because it will give me opportunities to speak across Canada and really give me opportunities to help other students.” So far, as a representative for B.C., Reimer has volunteered at many community events, including the cranberry festival and Variety Telethon. “I think it’s really important to volunteer and help out your community locally,” she said. “I have a passion for helping other students and ever since I was young I always volunteered at things or helped out my school a lot.” Those who would like to support can also vote for Reimer online at: http://www. misscanadatm.ca/297. html.

You & The Law Ovation nominations for TWU
PRESENTS Pollution clean-up costs: Who pays? It can be expensive if you find out your property is contaminated. You’ve got to figure out where the pollution came from (not always easy), and you’ll need to clean up your property even if you didn’t cause the problem. But this B.C. Supreme Court case shows you can get other “responsible persons” to help pay the costs.
and owned the property, and after the pollution came to light. Our law emphasizes the principle of “polluter pay” and there aren’t very many ways of escaping (or limiting) liability for the costs of cleaning up polluted property.
A subsequent Ministry of Environment investigation revealed that the source of the oil was an old underground oil storage tank on Mike and Molly’s property. The tank had rusted through and the surrounding soil was saturated with hydrocarbons. The tank (containing 80 kg of “sludge” and 1900 litres of oily water) and almost 13 tons of contaminated soil were removed.
they bought the property. They had turned a blind eye to any pollution on their property (even though told about it). And they never told Mike and Molly anything about such problems when they sold to them.
Here, Ada had owned the polluting property for 35 years. She’d decommissioned the oil tank in 1981 when changing her The plaintiff (“Diane”) found out in 2012 house to electric heat. But she couldn’t that her residential property was polluted show that this had been done properly – by oil, which in turn drained from her in fact, it clearly hadn’t, given the state property into a gorge waterway below. of the tank when it was removed and all She established the oil came from the the contamination in and around it. property immediately up-slope from hers, As for the Raymonds, they hadn’t done owned by Mike and Molly. any environmental investigations before
In 2013, Diane started a lawsuit to recover the costs for cleaning up her property. She sued Mike and Molly and also some previous owners of their property, the Raymonds and Ada. Under our law, “responsible persons” include current and previous owners of the property where the pollution comes from. The court in this case decided the pollution did indeed come from the old tank (and not, as Ada argued, a different oil spill that had recently happened elsewhere). The court considered how Mike and Molly and the previous owners of their property had acted when they bought
Diane got judgment for almost $123,000 – roughly $33,000 for the costs she’d already spent plus $90,000 for the estimated future costs to complete the clean-up. Ada and the Raymonds were mostly on the hook for this amount; Mike and Molly only had to pay a small part of Diane’s judgment. When buying an older home, be sure to get representations from the vendor that there is no buried oil tank. If there is, consider making it a condition of closing that the tank be removed at the vendor’s expense and a “clean” inspection certificate obtained.

MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
For the first time in its theatre program’s history, Trinity Western University has been nominated for the coveted Ovation Awards. The awards, which recognize excellence in musical theatre from both professional and student shows, will be presented on Jan. 31. The TWU School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC) production of The Drowsy Chaperone last spring has earned them three nominations for Outstanding Production, Outstanding Direction (Angela Konrad) and Outstanding Set Design (Carolyn Rapanos). Although this is the first time the school has been eligible for
the awards, director Konrad credits the musical’s “dream team” for making their first entry a standout production. Specifically she names musical director Allan Thorpe, voice coach Caroline Harder, choreographer Joel Ballard, set designer Carolyn Rapanos, costume designer Sabrina Evertt, lighting designer Graham Ockley and student stage manager Tiffany Kanda. “We had a complete dream team to work with,” said Konrad, who is also chair of SAMC Theatre at TWU. “I’m particularly pleased with the outstanding production nomination, and that is a reflection of how many fabulous people worked on the show.” The Drowsy Chaperone is a 1920s spoof that follows Janet,
a Broadway star, as she tries to leave the spotlight for a storybook romance with her dashing fiancé. The script lends itself to an ensemble production, giving the opportunity for many students to show off their skills, Konrad said. “It’s not the kind of show where you have two super stars and a bunch of carriers,” she said. “So there was an opportunity for lots of different students to shine in lots of different ways. The students here do an excellent job of working together in a way that builds each other up.” For more on the SAMC theatre program, visit www.twu. ca/academics/samc/theatre/ default.html.
TWU theatre festival starts Feb. 2 New Generations, a popular one-week festival featuring new plays and emerging directors, returns to the Trinity Western University stage in the first week of February. This year’s lineup runs the gamut from quirky rom-com to hardhitting human drama. Chasing Tina, written and directed by graduating bachelor of fine arts students, is an offbeat romantic comedy poking fun at everything from trendy diets to the modern dating scene. It should be love-atfirst-smoothie for an idealistic philosophy student and the cynical barista who’s his perfect opposite … and with any luck, the customer is always right. In The Wooden Pear, by award-winning
playwright Gillian Plowman, a troubled man fresh out of prison comes face-toface with the victim of his crime. As they struggle to move on from the incident that changed the course of their lives, their emotionally charged encounter becomes a journey to redemption for them both. The Longest Way Home by Audrey Herold, is an adventurous take on the will-theywon’t-they love story set in the far reaches of Saskatchewan. A group of hot-shot American spies get way more than they bargained for in the Great White North. While they try to ignore the unrequited love issues in the team, a mischievous alliance of Rogue Mounties gives them

‘Spartan for life’ Rohla steps down Pat Rohla has stepped down as head coach of the Trinity Western Spartans men’s soccer team, effective March 31. “My decision to step down at this time is multi-faceted,” he said in a press release. “I truly believe that this is the right time for the program to have a new voice and direction.” This past year — his sixth at the helm of the Spartans — the team came up one game short of qualifying for nationals. Rohla was named the Canada West coach of the year in 2012 and the team won the bronze medal at the CIS national championships in 2009. “We owe Pat a debt of gratitude for his dedication to TWU and Spartan athletics,” said TWU director of athletics Murray Hall. “We appreciate his commitment to building this program and the leadership he has given over the years. “I know he is a Spartan for life. His wit and wisdom will be missed. “There is only one Pat Rohla, and we all wish him the very best.” Rohla was the founding coach of the TWU women’s soccer team back in 1996 and also served as an assistant coach on the women’s soccer team. He is also a former teacher, retiring from Langley Secondary in 2012.

Walnut Grove Gators’ Tavia Rowell drives to the hoop during her team’s game against the South Kamloops Titans in junior girls basketball at Walnut Grove Secondary on Saturday afternoon. The Gators defeated both the McMath Wildcats and Terry Fox Ravens before losing 58-56 to the Titans in overtime. It was Walnut Grove’s first loss of the season as they are now 21-1.
Rivermen secure post-season berth
GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
The Langley Rivermen are going to the BCHL post-season dance. The junior A hockey club made sure of it after back-to-back road victories in Prince George last week, defeating the Spruce Kings 5-4 in double overtime on Jan. 21 and then scoring three third-period goals to win 5-2 the next night. “That is what the regular season is about, preparing for the playoffs and trying to put yourself in a position (to get in), so we are happy to have that out of the way early,” said Langley head coach and general manager Bobby Henderson. “(But) we still have a lot in front of us.” Langley also hosted the Co-
quitlam Express on Sunday at the Langley Events Centre, letting a third-period lead slip away before losing the second point with a 6-5 overtime loss. The results improved Langley to 25-17-1-1 and 52 points. There are 13 regular season games between now and the end of February remaining in the BCHL schedule, including four head-tohead games against the Wenatchee Wild. The Wild hold down second place in the division with a onepoint advantage on the Rivermen. The first of those four meetings is on Saturday at the LEC at 6 p.m. The Rivermen also host Surrey on Sunday at 3 p.m. And with the two teams on a collision for a first-round playoff series
in early March — the division-leading Chilliwack Chiefs are seven points clear of second place while fourth-place Coquitlam is eight points back of third spot — Henderson said the team will try to secure home-ice advantage for that first round. “Home-ice isn’t everything, but it is definitely and incentive to play for,” he said. “Our mindset has to be to win every game and win anywhere, anytime.” During the team’s two-game set with Prince George, Torrin White ended the first contest with a double overtime winner. The game also featured a couple of firsts, including Austin Crookshank scoring on his first BCHL shift and Alec Capstick potting his first career BCHL goal.
Max Kaufman and Jason O’Neill had the other Langley goals. Bo Didur stopped 38 shots in goal for the win while Nick Trenciansky got the call in game two and came through with 28 saves. The second game saw the teams tied at two heading into the final 20 minutes before Langley closed things out with three straight goals. The Rivermen were ahead 2-0 late in the second on goals from Will Campion and Matthew Graham but Prince George took advantage of some Langley penalty troubles to score power-play goals 23 seconds apart just before intermission. The first of those goals came with Langley two men down. But the Rivermen showed their own quick-strike offence as White
WHAT’S ON at the LEC
and Donovan Shambeau struck for goals 25 seconds apart. Shambeau’s goal was also his first in the BCHL. Matty Saharchuk had the final goal. Against Coquitlam on Sunday, the Rivermen surrendered four power-play goals, including the overtime winner. The game should not have gotten to that point as Langley allowed two late goals that tied the score. “We weren’t happy to be in that situation. We should have ended that game in regulation,” Henderson said. Ryan Barrow led the way with two goals while Justin Szeto, Jordan Schneider and White had the others. White stretched his point streak to five games and he has five goals and nine points in that span. @LangleyEvents LangleyEventsCentre LangleyEventsCentre.com

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

They should have built off the momentum of a comefrom-behind victory over the defending National Lacrosse League champions the week before. But instead, a dismal first half did in the Vancouver Stealth. The Stealth trailed 12-3 at the break en route to a 14-5 loss to the visiting Colorado Mammoth on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre. The Mammoth remain the league’s lone unbeaten team at 4-0 while Vancouver fell to 1-2. “It is frustrating because it is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” said Vancouver captain Curtis Hodgson. “Two disappointing losses at home, flat out embarrassing losses.” In two games at the LEC, the Stealth have been outscored 31-12. The team had a huge 13-11 road victory over the Saskatchewan Rush in between the two defeats. “There is no secret that Colorado is a great team, firing on all cylinders and putting a lot of goals in, but in all three facets (offence, defence and special teams), we have to be better,” Hodgson said. “Lacrosse is a game of momentum and runs and we certainly did not do enough

Vancouver Stealth’s Mitch McMichael (right) and Colorado Mammoth’s Dan Coates battle off a face-off during Saturday’s NLL game at the Langley Events Centre. The Stealth lost 14-5. to stop their runs. “And we put ourselves in too big of a hole to get back into the game.” Colorado led 3-0 after one quarter and broke the game wide-open in the second quarter with eight goals. Both Stealth goalies saw action with Eric Penney allow-
ing eight goals on 33 shots and Chris Levis stopping 10 of 16 shots. Combined this season, the goaltenders have a save percentage of .722. The league average is .773. And while the goaltending needed to be better, coach Dan Perreault wasn’t ready to pin the loss entirely on
that position. “Sometimes you need a timely save, but regardless …. (Colorado) had wide-open looks,” he said. “You are certainly not going to blame your goaltending when there is a guy wide open and nobody even checking him.” Joel McCready led the Stealth offence with two goals while Logan Schuss had a goal and three helpers. Corey Small and Travis Cornwall had the others. The Mammoth were led by John Grant Jr. (five goals, two assists) and Callum Crawford (four goals, two assists). Dillon Ward made 50 saves for Colorado, including 33 in the second half. The Stealth had a 14-10 advantage in face-offs and also collected 61 loose balls compared to Colorado’s 54. Next up for the Stealth is a road game Saturday night in Calgary versus the Roughnecks (1-2). Hodgson said the team will fix its mistakes and be better next week. “I believe in this group and I know what we will bounce back and put together a much more solid game in Calgary,” he said. “I believe in this team (and) we have the characters and guys in the room to figure it out.”

Brodie’s Celebration of Life will be held on February 6, 2:30 pm at Bradner Hall, 5305 Bradner Road, Abbotsford
Marianne Goetzke died peacefully at Zion Park Manor, Cloverdale, January 19, 2016. She will be missed by the family she loved, by her friends, and remembered at Bethel Mennonite Church, where she was an active member for nearly 60 years. Her family includes 5 children, 10 grandchildren and 10 greatgrandchildren: Reimar Goetzke & Beverly Short (Lyris ShortGoetzke & Eric Stutzman-Calum, Myelle; Seth Goetzke), Ute Goetzke (Jen & Mark Goerzen-Gabriel, Gus, Piper; Rena & Matt Siddall), Bodo and Sharon Goetzke (Larissa & Jeff Neale-Oliver; Vanessa Goetzke; Natasha & Tyrell Mara-Olia), Lissa and Bill Decker (Brad Decker; Jonathan Decker; Ashley & Jayeson WallMadeline, Lincoln, Beckett), Helga Goetzke. Marianne was born May 2, 1923 in Neuhof, East Prussia and baptized in the AdligPokraken Mennoniten Gemeinde. She enjoyed school, especially mathematics. She and Otto Ernst Goetzke married in 1950 and with their first two children emigrated to Canada in 1952. The wildlife around Westwold made the walk to school precarious for the children so Otto left his mill job for a little farm in Aldergrove, 1954. In 1961 they moved onto a larger farm where they raised strawberries and laying hens. Marianne worked on the farm while Otto often did seasonal work at a tannery or fish cannery. Marianne showed her deep faith through action rather than word, ministering to her church together with Otto from 1980 to 1989 as a deacon. Her generosity continued with many gifts from her big garden, from her kitchen, and treats of Christmas and birthday chocolates. People tell of her bursting into a beaming smile that lit up her face. One couldn’t guess what would make her laugh, but her laughter would make people grin. The celebration of Marianne’s life will be held at Bethel Mennonite Church, 24687-56 Ave., Langley, 11:00 am, February 01, 2016. In lieu of flowers, her family requests donations to MCC BC. “Goodness and love unfailing will follow me all the days of my life.” Ps. 23:6 Online condolences to the family may be made to:
It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Ed on Tuesday, January 19, 2016 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital surrounded by his family after a short battle with cancer. He was 54 years old. Ed was born in Innisfail, Alberta July 30, 1961 to George and Deloras Howard. He resided in Alberta until the age of six when his Mom and Dad decided to try life on the coast. Ed grew up in Langley where he met his wife Shannon. Shortly after their marriage in 1988 they moved to Aldergrove and this is where they raised their family. He was well known and respected as both a truck driver and machine operator in the excavating industry. In the spring Ed could be found at the baseball diamond cheering on his kids or coaching women’s fastball. He loved to feel the wind in his face with long Sunday rides on his Harley. Ed is lovingly remembered by his parents George and Deloras Howard, wife Shannon (nee Campbell); 3 children Travis (Angela) and grandson Addison; Joshua and Megan; siblings Terri (Michael), Jim (Debbie) and Sharon (Andrew) as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A celebration of Ed’s life will be held Sunday, January 31 at 1:00 p.m. at the Aldergrove Legion, 26607 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove. Special thanks to the nurses and doctors in the emergency room at Abbotsford Regional Hospital for their thoughtfulness and care in our time of need. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Ed may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Online condolences to the family may be made to:
