lometres of desert sand. Walking in a circle offered them a complete view of the Great Pyramid, as if they were seeing the structure in person. With the teacher guiding students through a connected tablet, the technology adds a new element of education that a photograph in a textbook simply cannot, said U-Connect teacher Lorrie Burnham. “This is huge,” she said.
For anyone who loves shopping for second hand items at a discounted price, the City of Langley really is “the place to be.” Stores are popping up all over town, featuring shelves lined with stacks of used plates, tiny trinkets and old CDs, and racks adorned with gently used shirts, outgrown pants and slightly walked-in shoes. Within the City’s 10 square-km area, there are 10 dedicated thrift stores, and that number increases to 14, including pawn shops and second hand stores, according to data provided by the City’s business licences department. That’s roughly one shop per 1,800 residents, or one every 0.7 kilometres. The Township of Langley, by comparison, has seven stores for its 110,000 residents, including second hand stores, thrift stores and antiques shops. Take a quick walk through the City’s downtown core, and the plethora of discount paradises becomes apparent. The one-block radius of 56 Avenue, between 201A Street and 203 Street, boasts Hope for Children at one end, and the month-old Thrift for Kids at the other. Not far away are Bibles for Missions, Value Village, Penny Pincher, Fibromyalgia Well Spring Foundation, Thrifter’s Paradise, Boutique Finds, Thrifty Way, Key Largo, Jack’s Pawn Shop, Crazy Bob’s Music Emporium (second hand music outlet), Creative Bookworm (second hand books) and Langley Gold and More Exchange.

Holding what looks to be an inexpensive cardboard ViewFinder to their eyes, the students were transported to the Great Pyramids, the Amazon Rainforest, Machu Picchu,

Canada boasts world’s second largest non-profit sector From Page 1
“I love thrift shopping,” said Aaron Schneider, owner of Thrift for Kids. “You never know what you’re going to find — you never know. It’s hidden treasures, and it’s fun.” Long before opening his own thrift store with his wife, Lin, in February, Schneider had been a treasure hunter in second hand shops. Countless times he’s found valuable items made of gold and silver that many people often pass right over. But it isn’t just the excitement of finding a good deal that has lured him in. Schneider specifically wanted to open his own thrift store to give back to the community. Like many others in Canada, Thrift for Kids has a charitable arm, with proceeds going to the Langley School District Foundation. “We’re trying to keep our prices as cheap as possible to help as many people as we can,” Schneider said. “It’s not only a place for people to find treasure, but it’s also a way people can get things that are still in great condition that they need, but they can’t afford otherwise. Re-use, recycle, right?” Customers have come in from across the Lower Mainland, Schneider added, with many from Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, Vancouver, Richmond and White Rock. “It’s everything. It’s kids to old kids,” he said. “Langley is kind of becoming a hub for thrifting because it has such a large concentration.” The thrift store business model has also proven to be very lucrative for operators. Penny Pincher, run by the Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, has done so well, it was able to save enough money to purchase the former Coast Capital building on Fraser Highway in May 2015, all while continuing to contribute donations to the hospital, including $500,000 to the new maternity unity. “(Thrift stores) are the only real way that you could make enough money that you can donate enough and be able to do some good,” Schneider said. “Other companies, they just

There’s so much cost for their product that, in the end, they’re not actually making that much. Whereas, when everything is donated to you … you basically just have the rent, the gas and the electricity. And there’s a lot left over for being able to help.” Thrift stores are just one slice of the vibrant non-profit sector in Langley. In fact, across Canada, non-profits are one of the only sectors that have continued to grow steadily since the Second World War, making it the second largest non-profit sector in the world, with over one million fulltime paid employees. “It’s a really interesting sector because it’s going up when other sectors are not,” said Larissa Petrillo, anthropology faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and program co-ordinator for KPU’s certificate in NGO

only Revenue Canada has relevant data and many non-profits are grouped into the same categories as schools and hospitals — Petrillo estimates there are hundreds in Langley and the surrounding region. Even the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has created a non-profit committee to help organize them, of which Petrillo is a member. “(Non-profits are) stepping in to fill gaps when there is an issue around poverty or the environment … and they’re in line with the social values of the baby boomer generation,” Petrillo said. “It was a generation where they really wanted to help the world and solve social problems … and it connects very well with the youth generation right now, too, who are also very engaged with trying to help social issues.” Petrillo polled some of her third year NGO students, most of whom are millennials, on why thrift stores are becoming so popular, and many said that the values “mesh with youth culture right now.” “They termed it ‘upcycling’ which would be the trendy version of recycling,” Petrillo said. “It supports the idea of sustainability, which for youth today is a really important social value. Then, as well, it serves to support the ‘hipster’ fashion image. There is often a subset of youth culture that is very counter-current and perhaps avoids typical labels and designer trends and so the thrift stores really serve that ability to find something neat, something that they can use to express their identity in a very characteristic way.” Several students also talked about the feeling of “being able to do social good” when they donated items, regardless if they were directly to a store, or to something more impersonal like a donation bin on a street corner. “I think it fits in with Canadian values as well,” Petrillo said. “People want to feel good when they’re buying something, (especially) if they can buy something from a non-profit. We’re increasingly moving to the social enterprise choices instead, and so we’re seeing a real shift and thrift stores are essentially the oldest examples of social enterprises.”

Program is about teaching students ‘real world skills’ From Page 1
“It’s one thing to look at a two-dimensional (image) on a screen, but this is virtual reality where you can actually immerse into this world. You can actually look in and be a part of it.” While younger students explored worlds far away, older students from Lochiel U-Connect demonstrated some of their own work with virtual reality technology, robots and network logics. Using frontline technology, the students are learning to create applications and business plans to market them. The classes are also interdisciplinary, combining the use of math skills, history, and technology. “We want them to be able to use (the technology) but we also want them to be creators rather than just consumers,” said U-Connect instructor John Harris. “These students are part of a software team that are creating some very, very exciting apps and some amazing projects.” In past years, some of Harris’ students from U-Connect created underwater remote-operated vehicles that were tested

The first major windstorm of 2016 cut power to 122,000 customers throughout the Lower Mainland and the Sunshine Coast, including thousands in Langley. On Thursday morning, 18 outages in the community had been directly attributed to the storm, which saw gusts reach over 90 km/h in Langley. Several more localized outages were described as being “under investigation” on the BC Hydro website. Throughout Langley debris was strewn across streets, lawns and parking lots. Traffic lights were out at a number of intersections in the both City and Township during the morning rush hour. Drivers are reminded that the four-way stop procedure is to be used in any intersection where traffic lights have been rendered inoperable.

1981 ...
A decision by the province to open up sections of the Fraser Valley to oil and gas exploration caught Township Council by surprise in March, 1981. The proposal, which affected much of the southern half of the municipality, took local politicians by surprise, with mayor George Preston declaring, “We have a good viable industry here called farming. Nor do people want oil rigs in their front yards.” Preston said he didn’t want to see a “takeover job” of the Fraser Valley — “our home.” Energy minister Bob McLelland said he expected about 224,000 acres of land might eventually be available for drilling after an initial exploration period. He anticipated most of that work would be carried out using existing roads, with Vibroseis equipment showing the shape and location of underground formations through seismic exploration. In the end it all came to naught, however. The ministry of energy mines and resources put out a call to any companies interested in exploring the area for oil and gas reserves, but according to the Times year in review published at the end of December, no bids had been received by the August deadline.

ada in 1887. By January, 1888, he had bought 185 acres of the Hudson Bay property in Fort Langley. Hope’s grandfather, Charles Hope, came to Canada from England that year, and worked with a company to survey the Mavis property into lots. Hope was active in a number of businesses which involved mining, land development and farming. He bought the Redwoods property in 1902, and remained active in Fort Langley and north Langley until his death in 1949. Larry Hope is survived by his spouse, Hope Mavis, four daughters and four grandchildren. A funeral service is being planned for family and friends.

Donor steps up to help Langley Lions D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Shortly after the Times reported how someone had robbed the Langley Lions charity, Paul Keeris got a call. A woman from Fort Langley had read the story and wanted to donate a power generator to replace the one stolen from the Lions’ concession trailer. “Brand-new in the box,” said Keeris. “Unbelievable.” The Lions club member was storing the trailer behind a locked-off chain-link fence next
to his business when the theft occurred, some time on Sunday morning, Feb. 7. Thieves towed the trailer away, then hacked off a lock on the door. They made off with $10,000 to $15,000 worth of equipment, including the prograde barbecue the club uses at public events. A large shelter tent and other supplies were taken, too. Surrey RCMP located the emptied trailer shortly after the theft was reported. It’s since been towed to Abbotsford for repairs.
14 - 8948 202 Street
The Langley charity is hoping other Good Samaritans will help them replace the gear they use to cook food at the annual Cruise-In fundraiser, provide hot breakfasts for school kids and raise funds for the B.C. Children’s Hospital. Anyone interested in helping can contact Keeris at 604888-7513. If you have any information that might assist with the criminal investigation, please call Surrey RCMP at 604599-0502 and mention case #16/16872. Or call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

In October of 2008, Larry Hope spoke at the dedication of the Hope Redwoods Natural Area in Langley Township. More than 20 years ago, he said, the family determined that its priority was to preserve the 175-acre Redwoods Golf course it owned as a green space, free of development and dedicated to the pioneers who settled the area. The nature reserve makes up seven acres of the golf course located between 88 Avenue and 96 Avenues east of 216 Street. Naming and dedicating the seven-acre park was only the start, said Hope, who passed away on Saturday at the age of 84. “The final chapter will conclude when the entire 175 acres are in a nature park.” The Hope family sold the course to the Township in 2005 with restrictions that protect the site from development. Hope had been pushing for preservation since 1965, when he suggested to his father, Alex Hope, a former reeve and councillor of the Township, school trustee and MLA, that Redwoods would make a great park. The Township, Hope recalled, said that “if I wanted to donate the land, they would be happy to accept it.” “My feeling was that I would be happy to give
Langley a deal, but not donate the land for nothing,” he said. Under the terms of the $6.652 million deal reached in 2005 (the figure includes the purchase price plus annual payments over 20 years), the Township forfeits property taxes for 20 years and Redwoods retains the right to operate the course for the same length of time. The Hope family has deep roots in Langley. Larry Hope’s great grandfather, Alex Mavis, came to Can-

OPINION

Hang up and drive One would think it wouldn’t still need to be said. But RCMP and ICBC are again reminding drivers to leave the phone alone. They’re launching yet another campaign aimed at underlining just how dangerous it is to use a phone while driving. And it is dangerous. According to ICBC, 25 per cent of all road deaths in the province involve distracted driving. That’s one in four. And, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the odds of crashing increase five times when using a phone, whether dialing, texting, reading or using social media. Faced with those numbers, it’s hard to imagine why drivers would still use their phone while they’re behind the wheel. But they do. According to a recent survey by Ipsos Reid, 34 per cent of cell phone users said they use their phone between one and five times out of every 10 trips. “It’s time we all commit to leaving our phones alone and avoid other forms of distraction when we’re behind the wheel,” said Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety. This month police, backed by volunteers like Chilliwack Speedwatch, will be on the roads watching for drivers who have not yet got the message. “We’re cracking down on those who cannot police themselves,” said Chief Constable Neil Dubord, Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee. “Even when you’re at a red light or in slow moving traffic — you’re still in control of a vehicle — and the law still applies.” Is checking your phone worth a ticket, or worse, an accident? No. We can all be part of the solution. Talk to your family, talk to your friends and remind them that if they’re driving without their full attention on the road they’re an accident waiting to happen. – Black Press

When you’re looking through the clothing racks, be aware of the labels. Finding a shirt that is $70 retail and getting it for $7.99 with another 30 per cent off on seniors’ day, is truly a great score. Even if it’s not the right colour for you, a deal like that is pretty hard to pass up. Buying electrical items can be tricky. Most places have someone checking the items before they put them out on the shelf. But remember, somebody got rid of it for a reason. Maybe only one side of the toaster heats up. Maybe the alarm works but doesn’t shut off unless you pull the plug. I have a secret place where I buy my books. Hard cover books for 50 cents will provide you a summer of reading for $5. Unless of course I am selling my books — then I expect you to pay full price, but I will sign it for you. Most folks don’t leave empty handed. Even if they don’t find what they went in for, they might see a purse, a painting, a trinket of some sort. It’s sort of like walking through your Grandma’s house, and the memories are free. At least that’s what McGregor says.

M I R A ND A GATHE RC OL E La ng ley Times
A transport truck crests a hill on 16 Avenue approaching the 208 Street intersection.
Editor: Now that Surrey and Langley elected officials have become aware of homeowner concerns for those living in the immediate area of 16 Avenue (Councillor pushes for 16 Ave. safety upgrades, The Times, March 4) the one questions not addressed in the current information in the paper regards the impending consideration by B.C. Transportation for changing the status to a highway. This change would require expanding the road to four lanes with various needs required by the increasing heavy truck traffic. A search of the MoT web site is not very clear in roadway design requirements. I have located two different sets of drawings, one for rural locals and one for rural subdivision roads. Currently, my concerns are for the twinning of Highway 13. Using the drawings on the MoT site it is more than apparent that
there is not enough room between my lot line to accommodate the required width of road. As it currently stands, it is not in design compliance. The same is more than apparent for the requirements for 16 Avenue. MoT 1420.05.02 apparently asks for a road surface of 25 metres or, for us old folk, 82 feet for two lanes or 164 feet for four lanes. The ditches add another 10 feet per side. The required road width is not available in Aldergrove without land expropriation from 29 Street to Fraser Highway and beyond. The province and the associated townships have a very serious conundrum: proceed immediately or wait until the costs skyrocket into the stratosphere and become “unobtainium.” A quandary indeed. TERRY BRENAN,
with obtaining all possible facts and input. I am convinced that council has heard the South Langley citizens regarding our safety concerns and inability to cross and enter 16 Avenue safely. They are now trying to find a resolution sooner rather than later. We need to assist them in that process whenever and wherever possible. I am sure council realizes what the ultimate costs good be to this community if there is yet again inaction on this issue. Now is the time to finally move forward on 16 Avenue and find the funding to start the process of making 16 Avenue whole lot safer for those of us — and there are many — who put our lives at risk every day trying to cross and enter 16 Avenue at uncontrolled intersections. Traffic signals and pull outs are a great and long over due immediate step. PETER THIESSEN,
Editor: Re: Time to take MSP off life support (B.C. Views, March 4). I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on MSP premiums and it brought back to mind some research I conducted when I was at Decima Research in the late ’80s. As is true today, there was concern among some that people were over-using medical care, in part because they did not understand its cost. We tested views about costs of the system and looked in particular at differences between provinces that charged premiums and those that did not. The results were surprising. We found that a significant minority of respondents in provinces that had premiums believed that their premiums covered the entire cost of the health system. Far from making them more cautious about accessing the system, many of those premium-paying respondents thought, “I’m paying for it, so why shouldn’t I go to the hospital/clinic whenever I want.” As is the case today, proponents of premiums argued that it would make people more sensitive to the costs of the services they used; the converse turned out to be true. The only serious attempt to let people know about medical costs directly was Alberta’s disastrous (and never repeated) experiment in informing households about all the medical services consumed by the household in the previous year.

Council commended for action on 16 Ave. Editor: Further to my letter to the editor dated Aug. 15, 2015 and published in the Langley Times, I would like to add the following comment based on the current situation regarding 16 Avenue safety concerns. I have been watching closely the comments and actions of many in the public and on Township council over the past many months. I have had many discussions with very passionate and well intended groups, individuals and council members who have the best interests of Langley at heart. I am no different. I am a current resident of this community and have raised my children in this community for 35 years. Langley should be proud of itself for being one of the top communities to live in the Lower Mainland and this province. I truly believe progress is being made on a process to begin sooner than later in an effort to resolve the more immediate issues
of safety upgrades to 16 Avenue, specifically controlled crossings. That is evident by Coun. Charlie Fox’s motion to Council to get road improvements such as traffic signals and pull outs on the table. I feel compelled to commend Coun. Fox for that motion and Coun. Kim Richter for her support of the motion and her comments regarding putting Langley first. I thank the rest of council for referring the motion for further follow up and discussion and not killing it at the table. As a community we have to work together with our elected officials rather than making their jobs more difficult by unsubstantiated and unnecessary criticism. They live in this community as well and want a safe community as much as anyone else. However, they have very difficult decisions to make regarding the 16 Avenue issue that requires sober thought and reflection, along

Celebration of life Saturday for former trustee Diane Pona
MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
A service will be held March 12 for a passionate advocate of public education and former Langley school trustee who passed away last October. Diane Pona, a school trustee for 12 years, was 66. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, at 2 p.m. at the Steelworkers Hall, 202-9290 200 St. During Pona’s time on the board of education, she was an advocate for all students, especially kids at risk and for Aboriginal education. She was involved in the community for many years before that, serving on her daughters’ school PACs and the District PAC. When she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease she organized the Langley Parkinson Support Group. She is the mother of former school trustee Candy Ashdown, who said her mom was her inspiration for running for office. Pona also helped with other campaigns, like trustee Megan Dykeman’s, helping advise them. Pona was honoured and remembered at a recent board of education meeting. She is survived by Lyle, her husband of 47 years, daughters Ashdown and Nikki Hay, three granddaughters, two sisters and many more family members. In lieu of flowers and cards, her family requests donations be made in tribute to Diane to the Parkinson’s Society of B.C.

New charitable partner for winery A new partnership will see charitable events from a Langley winery benefit Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon (RMH BC). RMH BC will be the sole beneficiary of Township 7 Vineyards & Winery’s numerous fundraising events. For over 30 years, Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon have been providing accommodation for seriously ill children and their families when they must travel to Vancouver for their child’s major treatment. They opened a new 73-bedroom house on the grounds of B.C.

used to celebrate new beginnings,� said Trevor Allen, the assistant general manager of Township 7. “We are proud to support a fantastic charitable organization like (this), which has a notable history of keeping families connected and providing a magical home away from home for sick children. “We depend on community support to serve our families and we are pleased to partner with such a community-minded organization as Township 7,� said Richard Pass, chief executive officer for Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon. Some of the winery’s fundraising events include their annual Easter Egg Hunt, the Father’s Day Wine & Swine, and the Grape Stomp. The easter egg hunt is set for March 27.

Langley pilot’s annual Girls Fly Too event returns to Abbotsford airport
People Helping People
SKILLS CONNECT FOR IMMIGRANTS
Sky-high celebration of women in aviation happens March 12 and 13 Langley pilot Kirsten Brazier was honoured last Saturday at the International Women’s luncheon at Newlands Golf and Country Club, and now the event for which she was recognized —The Sky’s No Limit, Girls Fly Too — is set to take to the air at the Abbotsford International Airport. The free event this Saturday and Sunday will see more than a 1,000 girls and women take to the skies for the first time as a way to get females interested in flying. The event is the largest of its kind, encouraging females to think of careers in aviation and aerospace. Brazier hosted it at the Langley airport in 2013 and 2014, but the event grew too big, with more than 15,000 attending. Its new home is the Abbotsford airport. Among the celebrities scheduled to attend is NASA astronaut Wendy Lawrence. Everyone is invited to check out displays from the navy, air force, army, Coast Guard and RCMP, and try some hands-on activities, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. both days.

A purchase is often an emotional purchase and it’s much for difficult to get buyers excited about a vacant home.”
Some of the major changes that will offer the best return include vamping up the kitchens and bathrooms – rooms that are important to all buyers.
“[House flipping] is a big undertaking and it can be overwhelming for buyers who have never done a big renovation before,” she says. “For a first time flipper, I would consider a smaller project, like a home that could use a good clean up and small changes such as paint and carpewts.” With all matters of the market, there is a downside and profits are not guaranteed. “The market could change while you are in the middle of your renovation, so it’s important to be as quick as possible with your flip,” says McKnight. “ It’s also important to set a budget and stick to it, as it’s very easy to get carried away and spend significantly more than you had anticipated, eating up any potential profit.” She advises working with an agent who has purchased flipped homes for clients in the past. If done correctly, she says that house flipping can be a very exciting and profitable project. As for de Wit’s advice, he says that if you insist on rolling the dice, make sure you do your research, and work with professional renovators or builders, like those found at www.gvhba.org

Spartans catch fire
GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
From a fringe playoff team in the middle of January to Canada West champions, it has been quite a run for the Trinity Western Spartans. The men’s volleyball sat with an 8-8 record in the middle of January. But what followed was six victories in their final eight matches and they made the post-season by one game at 14-10. Seeded sixth, the Spartans first upset the No. 3 Calgary Dinos in the Canada West best-of-three quarter-finals 2-1 and then this past weekend, beating No. 1 Alberta 3-0 and No. 5 Saskatchewan 3-1 to claim the Canada West championship banner. The final four championships were hosted by Alberta in Edmonton. Against Saskatchewan, the Spartans won the first two sets by scores of 25-22 and 25-19. The Huskies stayed alive with a marathon 37-25 victory in set three but the Spartans finished things off with a 25-23 win. TWU hit .331 as a team while out-blocking the Huskies 18.5-10.5. Blake Scheerhoorn led the way with 24 kills while Aaron Boettcher had 10 blocks and three aces. Tyler Koslowsky had 14 digs. The Spartans women’s volleyball team also captured the Canada West banner and TWU became just the second program in the past 20 years to win both volleyball banners in the same year. They have dropped just two sets in their past four matches. “We knew what we were and what we were good at and we just executed to the best of abilities,” said coach Ben Josephson. “We had to win out almost just to make it. The guys have been in this playoff mentality for quite a while and I think they just found a really good rhythm with it.” While qualifying for nationals is always the goal, Josephson said he expected this year to be a learning year for his relatively young squad, which has just one senior. He did tell people who asked that he thought his team would be scary in the second half and that is what has unfolded. “If you catch fire at the right time, then you can make a run,” Josephson said. “It is the poker analogy, you just need a chip and a chair and then get a hot hand and that is what happened for us.” They enter the nationals this week in Hamilton at McMaster University’s Ivor Wynne Centre as the second seed. It is the same place where the program won its first title 10 years ago. They opened against No. 7 Ryerson yesterday in the quarter-finals. See www.langleytimes.com for more.

Langley Rivermen’s Matty Saharchuk was in all alone but couldn’t beat Wenatchee Wild goaltender Chase Perry during the first period of game four’s BCHL Mainland Division semifinal series on Wednesday night at the George Preston Recreation Centre. Perry finished with 29 saves in a shutout performance as the Wild won 5-0 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. Game five goes tonight (Friday) at the Preston Centre. Puck drop is 7 p.m. See page 18 for more.
TWU top seed for nationals G A RY AHUJA Times Reporter
The Trinity Western Spartans were not content just getting a ticket to the big dance, but they wanted to go there as the prom queen. “We wanted to bring back the trophy, that was one of our goals,” said women’s volleyball coach Ryan Hofer. “We didn’t want to just go there (the Canada West championships) and get one of the berths to nationals — although that was certainly part of it.” Instead, the team had their sights set on capturing the Canada West trophy. Mission accomplished. The third-seeded Spartans used a pair of five-set victories over No. 2 Alberta in the semifinals and then No. 1 UBC Okanagan Heat — in the Heat’s home gym in Kamloops — to lay claim to their second consecutive Canada West banner.
Hofer said it was rewarding to win the title. “Especially with how difficult it is,” he said. “All four teams (at Canada West) can win a national championship. They are all worthy of going to nationals and unfortunately, not everyone was going to make it so we knew we had to be sharp. “And I thought we played pretty well this weekend.” Against Alberta last Friday, the Spartans were down 2-0 after losing 25-22 and 28-26. But they rallied to take sets three and four 25-19 and 25-18 before winning the decisive set 15-13. That win earned them one of the conference’s three spots at nationals, but TWU had their eyes on the bigger prize against the country’s top-ranked team, the Heat. The match was back and forth with TWU winning sets one and three 25-19
and 25-18 while the Heat won sets two and four, 25-18 and 25-13. The fifth set was 15-10 for the Spartans. Elizabeth Wendel led the attack with 20 kills while Sophie Carpentier (15 kills) and Mariel Garcia (11 kills) helped make it a three-headed attack. Katelyn Devaney had eight blocks and Brie O’Reilly had 17 digs. The victory gives the Spartans the top seed for the eight-time CIS national championships, which begin today (Friday) in Brandon, Man. TWU faces the No. 8 seed, the host Brandon Bobcats in the quarter-finals. The Spartans are also the defending national champions and the coach is confident his team learned last year how to stay calm in pressure situations. “Knowing how to manage your emotions, how to manage your feelings as they are flooding at you at tense times, it is going to be very key for us,” he said.

The junior (ages 11 to 14) boys team, which is coached by Jason McCormick, combined for 2,976 points. It was 142 points ahead of second place. As provincial champions, the bowlers will now represent B.C. at
the national championships in Calgary from May 7 to 9. Willowbrook Lanes’ senior (ages 15 to 19) girls team of Cole Fischer, Braydyn Ingebrigsten, Wesley Cooper and Moneesh Goundar — and coached by Debbie Ealey — won the silver medal after scoring 3,505 points. The winning team had 3,864 points.
Rivermen on the brink There is no room for error now for the Langley Rivermen. Back-to-back home-ice losses have the junior A hockey club on the brink of elimination in their bestof-seven playoff series against the Wenatchee Wild. Wenatchee won a wild back-andforth affair on Tuesday night, 7-6 in overtime. And in game four the following night, they scored three third-period goals to win 5-0 and take a commanding three games to one series lead. Both games were at the George Preston Recreation Centre with game five set for tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m. at the Preston Centre.
Game four was the first contest won by more than one goal. The Wild had a goal apiece in both the first and second periods and then put the game away with three third-period goals. In game three, Wenatchee led 4-0 in the first period only to see the Rivermen rally to tie things up by the middle of the second period. Wenatchee would score twice more before the period let out but Langley struck for a pair of goals in the third to force overtime for a second straight game. The Wild would win the game 18 seconds into sudden death overtime.

Three titles for soccer clubs Three Langley United soccer teams were victorious in their 5-District league championship finals over the weekend. In the U18 division, Langley United Kragt posted an impressive 4-0 victory over SUS Legends at Newton Athletic Park. The U16 Langley United squad faced a much more intense game. After being up 1-0 for most of the game, they conceded the tying goal late in regulation, but recovered to take the title in a shootout victory. That game was played at Ladner’s Holly Park Turf field. And the U13 Langley United Secondino team won their league title with a 4-1 win over NDS Royals at Aldergrove Athletic Park. ••• Young Langley soccer players will have a chance to get their kicks during spring break as Langley United Soccer Association will put on daily camps for boys and girls aged U6 to U12 from March 14-18 at Willoughby Community Park.

Rockets blast T-Birds in quarter-finals The season came to an end for the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds over the weekend as the major midget hockey team lost in the quarter-finals. The Thunderbirds fell 5-2 and 3-2 in Kelowna against the Okanagan Rockets in the best-of-three B.C. Major Midget Hockey League series. And in both games, Fraser Valley was either tied or in the lead in the final 20 minutes.
In game one, Mackenzie Wight tied the score at two midway through the third period but the Rockets scored three times in the final 6:02 for the 5-2 win. Justin Plett had the other Fraser Valley goal. And in game two, Jake Mulder and Zac McKee goals had the visitors ahead 2-1 after 40 minutes before the Rockets scored twice in the third.

Langley atom A1 Eagles’ Joel Plante (left) and Jordan Yuan (right) celebrate Jacob Zaurrin’s goal during his team’s 12-3 victory at George Preston Recreation Centre on Sunday morning. They also beat Surrey 7-0 on Saturday. Langley then doubled up Semiahmoo 4-2 on Wednesday night to capture the Fraser Valley C Flight 1 playoff banner. They had also earlier won the FVC Flight 1 league banner and sportsmanship banner.
Eagles soar to another victory Josh Laird scored with four seconds left to send the Langley bantam C3 Eagles to a dramatic victory in the championship finals at a tournament in Penticton. Laird’s goal — his third of the game — gave the Eagles a 4-3 victory over Langley C7 in an all-Langley championship final on Sunday. On the winning goal, Brady Lumsden won a puck battle and got the puck to Nick Cormack, who then set up Laird for the winner. The Eagles were a perfect 5-0 at the tournament, never trailing in any of the contests, and was the team’s third tournament victory off the season. They were also awarded the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association banner as the Fraser Valley West playoff champs for the bantam C division. The team also finished the season with just five losses in 44 games (35-5-4). Langley won the opener 9-3 over Penticton as player of the game Trevor Young had a hat trick. Joseph Deley had a strong game on the wing while d-man Eric Nordal used his quickness to shut down the Penticton forwards. Cormack earned player of the game honours in game two, setting up three goals in a 7-0 win over the North Shore Winter Club. Greg Song and Carson Yee chipped in with a goal apiece. The final round robin
game was the toughest as the Eagles needed a pair of late goals to win 6-4 over Hope. Defenceman Owen Kredba was player of the game as he battled the strong Hope forwards in front of the net. Lex
Rohweder opened the scoring and Matt Bardell-Polley returned from injury to set up one goal while Josh Moreau also found the score sheet with an assist. In the semifinals, goaltender Matthew
Reeves was player of the game in the 6-1 win over Semiahmoo. Colton Kenney had two goals and an assist to lead the offence with Owen Kemp had a strong game on defence.

Five gold, eight medals for Herbert Langley Olympians place sixth at B.C. AAA championships Up against the best swimmers from around the province this past weekend, the Langley Olympians placed sixth overall out of 46 clubs. The swimmers were in Victoria for the B.C. AAA short course championships, an elite-level meet which re-
quired swimmers to achieve a minimum of three qualifying times to earn a spot in the field. Individually, Bailey Herbert led the way as the 13-year-old won five gold medals while setting four club records. Herbert was tops in the 200 IM, 50 breast, 100 breast, 200 breast and 400 IM races.

Spartans set to clash with Clan The post-season begins tonight (Friday) for the Trinity Western Spartans men’s hockey team. The Spartans play the Simon Fraser Clan in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League best-of-three semifinal series. The Clan were second and the Spartans third during the regular season. TWU will host game two on Saturday (March 12) at the George Preston Recreation Centre. SFU hosts game one and — if necessary — game three on Sunday. “We have a great opportunity in the week ahead,” said Spartans coach Barret Kropf. “We’ll go to Simon Fraser and play the underdog role and see if we can work some magic and go from there. We’ll get some guys back for the playoffs, which will be key. I think we have lots to build on and we’re looking forward to the next 16 days.” The Spartans lost 6-1 in the regular season finale to the Victoria Vikes last week (March 4). They finished the regular season at 13-9-0-2.

The car was sitting on a stand outside the Vdara hotel, gleaming in gold paint and looking tough for a Beetle. At first, the idea of a more rugged Dune version of a Beetle made no sense, why would anyone want a Beetle with a higher ride height, body cladding and flashy exterior details? It was only after a day behind the wheel and finding out the price of the Dune that it started to make sense.

through the Red Rock Canyon and the mountains just outside the city. With unseasonably clear and cool weather, the snowcapped mountains were the perfect backdrops for this latest VeeDub. Even though VW has equipped the Dune with what it calls a “rough road” suspension, this isn’t an off-road vehicle in any way, the added ride height really only showcases the exterior style. The on-road manners of this car are first rate, thanks to an independent suspension and upgraded front sway bar. The handling is refined and the ride is sophisticated. The star of the show is the 1.8L turbocharged engine that pumps out 170hp on regular gasoline and the only transmission in VW’s slick 6-speed automatic. Verdict At first glance, the Dune might seem merely a silly styling exercise but on further inspection, it is an alternative to a regular Beetle and at no extra cost. The Dune is based on the Comfortline Beetle, yet it comes equipped with many additional features for $27,000. The Comfortline would need to be equipped with two additional packages and that would actually bring the price higher than the Dune. So, the Dune doesn’t cost more than a nicely equipped Beetle. After a while the idea sank in. The Beetle is for someone that wants to drive something different and the Dune takes that idea as step forward. The only complaints that I have is the fact that VW Canada, unlike the US division, will not offer a convertible

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
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.
What a pleasant surprise! We have found our new vehicle that we plan on keeping for many years. Great visibility, wonderful to drive in traffic or on the freeway, and beautiful to look at. Our sales person, Peter, spent hours with us going over all the options of this vehicle. Thank you, Peter and Jonker Honda! ~ Jurgen & Alison

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
I have provided a five star rating because of the amazing hassle free service that I was provided. I was able to pick out a car and walk out of the dealership without any question marks in my head regarding my purchase. The sales reps were all genuine and respectful, I especially liked how they did not push for the sale for the sake of selling the vehicle. They showed a genuine interest in my needs and accommodated me accordingly. I will one hundred percent recommend Jonker Honda to all of my friends and family. ~ Sunny Bath
Very happy that Peter took the time to talk with us, answer our questions and concerns as well as do follow up with us following the sale. Friendly and approachable personnel-from reception, to sales, sales mgr., financing and servicing. I have recommended this dealership to my family, so I can recommend Jonker Honda to you too. ~ McJeffrey’s
Just a great experience all around. None of that overbearing pushy sales people here. Every employee I came in contact with was genuinely happy to be of help. Seems like everyone enjoys what they do at Jonker Honda! Well done guys. Thank you. ~ Paul H.

MY CHOICE sales event
I want to take the time to thank you for the fantastic new Rogue I now drive and LOVE! I like most people dread the thought of coming to a car dealership and being cornered into a something I’m not interested in. However that was far from the case when working with Rena at Jonker Nissan. From the follow-up email to my initial inquiry she was professional and listened to what was interested in. She provided me with several different options with various different price points being sure to point out the different benefits of each option. She was delightful to work with; I didn’t expect to purchase a new vehicle that day but Rena instilled confidence in your organization and the vehicle I wanted so I was very comfortable making that decision immediately and I have not suffered buyer’s remorse on that decision, quite the opposite...I love the new Rogue!

We were looking to buy a sedan, we called several dealers including Jonker Nissan. The salesman on the phone was very friendly and polite. We live in Abbotsford but because of how nice Vonn was on the phone we decided to go see him the next day. We were more impressed with his professionalism and how he took care of us, so we bought a brand new Sentra from him. Thank you so much Vonn. Mr. & Mrs. Gill

Over the last year, as we prepared to transition to retirement, we visited most automotive dealers in the Surrey/Langley/White Rock area in search of the right combination of vehicles that would best serve us. In the spring, we had the good fortune to meet with Les Flewelling from Jonker Nissan. Les presented us with a knowledgeable, straight forward and honest approach. Les quickly gained our trust. In May we took possession of our 2015 Nissan Murano and in September a 2015 Nissan Micra. Between our two purchases, Les also sold one of our children a previously owned Nissan. In retrospect, there is absolutely no doubt that Les and the Jonker Nissan team that supports him was the right choice for us and our family. We have great confidence in recommending Jonker Nissan to others. John

Rena was amazing! She knew all the answers to the many questions… We ended up with the Pathfinder and because she was so thorough we didn’t have any questions at the end. Rena made us feel that our business really mattered to her. We didn’t feel like just another sale which is so nice. This is our 3rd Nissan and we know why! Lisae

3 Reasons to Lease:
You pay for only part of the car you are going to use.
The payment on a lease is made on a much smaller balance than a comparable term loan. The tax is paid as you go, and not up front, as with the purchase. With a lease, you get a smaller obligation and smaller payment, and less taxes.
2
A lease gives you options that give you more control of vehicle costs.
Equity may accumulate due to Nissan’s strong resale value; the value may actually increase! A lease protects you from any loss in vehicle due to any unforeseen price influences (economic conditions, manufacture problems, accident declarations, vehicle loss of popularity, gas consumption, etc). And you can buy out the lease and own the vehicle at any time.
3
A lease can give you better cash flow.
The lease gives you a new car with smaller payments and the ability to cash in on any equity. Smaller payments may allow you to buy that new car (warranty, features, etc) rather than a used one that may involve more maintenance or repairs.
a lifestyle choice that allows you to get more car, more often, with better options and flexibility.
We bought a Nissan Juke and had a wonderful buying experience at Jonkers. Our salesman Mr. Vonn Chan is not pushy and very knowledgeable. We shopped around and Vonn gave us the best deal! Aileen Mendozae

SANDERS Emma Melvena (nee Quickstad) September 24, 1928 - March 03, 2016
McGREGOR,
Mother passed away peacefully last Thursday at the Marrwood residential home in Langley at the age of 87. Emma was born in Consort, Alberta and raised in the Landonville area. She left Alberta for the bright lights of Vancouver in 1945 where she met her future husband Wilmer. After their courtship they married in June of 1949. They danced through life as one and always young. Their first home was in North Burnaby and then they moved to Langley in 1964 where she not only raised her family but also wrote a bestselling cookbook.
Dale 1953 - 2016 What will we do without you? Your presence, your heart and your personality was so big. Dale died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 62.

Derrice Marguerite Passed peacefully surrounded by her loving family at the Peace Arch hospital in White Rock, BC on Friday, March 4th, 2016 at the age of 75. Derrice was born and raised in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. After living in Ottawa, Rome, and Regina, she finally settled in White Rock in 1999 to be close to her sons, their wives and her 5 precious grandchildren. She loved nothing more than having them all together for a family meal for whatever the celebration or holiday and was always finding ways to make them each feel so loved and special. Humour, laughter and conversation along with her kind and caring nature were always front and centre with both family and her many dear friends and will forever be missed in all their lives.
