The first Christmas was in a barn so it seems fitting that a local equine therapy program invite the community into its barns to celebrate the holidays. Valley Therapeutic, the equine therapy program, is throwing open the stable door so people can meet the humans and horses who are behind the long-running charity. The Christmas open house runs 1-3 p.m. on Sunday. That’s when people can meet some new members of the VTEA crew, including Reba, an Anglo that is 24 years old, eight-year-old Nickers, an Austrian breed called a Haflinger, the 11-year-old Clydesdale Andy and King, a Belgian of 18 years of age. VTEA requires older horses work with special needs riders. The new arrivals are being
tested and assessed to ensure they can meet the needs of the clients. Pete Creamore, the president of the non-profit association, said Reba, for instance, was used for weddings and public functions. “She’s about as laid back as they come,” he explained. Each of them will join the VTEA’s 10 other horses. There will be some special guests stopping by Sunday that the public can also meet. “Santa will pop in of course,” explained Vivianne Weldord, VTEA’s fundraising manager. Cherie Kramer of Pint Size Miniature Horses in Aldergrove will also be bringing cherubic cousins of the VTEA horses. The BC Hot Rod Association is slated to bring out some of the members’ timeless automobiles (weather dependent). Adding to the special day is therapeutic riding volunteer Dale Hopkins, who is also a magician. The open house takes place in the VTEA indoor’s riding arena at 3330 256th St.

On Tuesday, the Township and province announced that the LEC’s final price tag, more than $8.83 million over the last reported cost of $57.4 million.

The council passed a motion Monday that bans the use of names and photos of sitting councillors during an election year. The next ballot for municipal politicians is set for November, 2011. The motion was brought forward by Councillor Jordan Bateman, who said he felt the municipal advertising should be non-political.

NEW CLIENTS WELCOME! DENTAL SPECIALS SPECIALS::
Langley is the only community in the Lower Mainland without an arts centre. While there are small arts venues that can accommodate a couple hundred people and there are larger venues that seat more people and can do in a pinch, there’s no dedicated arts space that can hold up to 1,000 people and includes proper stage lighting and sound. So four Langley Rotary clubs are working together to create one. “Our dream is to get a fine arts centre built in Langley,” explained Peter Luongo, who is spearheading the campaign for a centre. That will be accomplished through the creation of an annual talent competition that will showcase local performing arts, educate the public about the need for an arts centre and also raise funds. The family-friendly event is being called Langley’s Got Talent and will take place likely in April. “What we envision is starting an event that allows us to showcase talent in Langley,” he said. People would audition and the organizers would whittle it down to the top several groups which would perform at a finals. Organizers are still arranging prizes but would like to offer performance-related ones to the winners, such as a deal with a talent agency or a corporate endorsement. Organizers are also looking to secure some celebrity judges and create a web presence to help spread the word. Luongo noted that the four clubs worked together on the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope and the success of that collaboration inspired them to work together on an arts centre. Right now the planning is devoted to getting the talent competition up and running then focusing more on the bricks and mortar aspects. Luongo said no decisions have been made about the number of seats or the look of the building. “What we really need is for that theatre to be located somewhat centrally,” he explained.

Residents are skeptical about the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor projects near Langley.
Leo Short is opposed to the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor Program projects along the Langley/ Surrey border because one is on his back doorstep.

Langley seniors Leo and Helen Short are concerned that the new road being punched through an undeveloped stretch of 196th Street near 54th Avenue will be just feet from their home.

Safer streets wanted on 201 The Township is scrambling to hold public meetings for traffic calming on a busy Willoughby street. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Speed bumps in front of an elementary school are not enough for Willoughby residents, who want a longer stretch of 201st Street to be safer. A long-simmering traffic calming issue in Willoughby saw several residents and parents criticize the Township Monday for not moving fast enough. “I seriously don’t know what the heck is going on,” Lorraine Baldwin complained to council. She and other residents had been under the impression that most of the street would be calmed, between roughly 68 and 74 Avenues. However, the Township recently brought forward plans to put speed humps and curb in front of R.C. Garnett Elementary, which lies in the middle of the stretch of road. “How is this happening, because we thought it was a done deal,” said area resident Jennifer Veerman. Paul Cordeiro, the Township’s transportation engineer, said there are a number of challenges doing traffic calming anywhere in Langley. “We have over 50 locations in the Township where traffic calming has been requested,” he said. Just the top-five areas, which includes 201st, would cost about $720,000. Recent speed checks in front of the school found speeds ranging from 23 to
58 km/h, in a 30 km/h zone. “What we see out there is unfortunately typical for school zones,” Cordeiro said. While the Township can put in traffic calming, parts of that street are a challenge. In particular, there is a 12 degree slope on the lower part of the road near 68 Avenue, and no speed humps can be put there. Cordeiro brought forward several concept designs showing speed humps, raised intersections and curb extensions, all designed to slow traffic. Township councillors decided to have a public open house in the area in early January. Several options will be on display for residents, including speed humps north of 72nd Avenue. Traffic issues in the area have sparked complaints several times.

Boys and girls in Langley will soon have a new clubhouse, with an $80,000 boost from the Rotary Club of Langley Central. The announcement was made at the fifth annual Breakfast with Santa at Douglas Park Community School on Dec. 11. Plans for the new 2,000 square-foot portable – twice the current size – are underway and a preview were unveiled after breakfast. The project is through a partnership between Rotary, Boys and Girls Clubs, and Langley School District. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, Greater Vancouver Boys and Girls Clubs president Carolyn Tuckwell, and Rotary representatives were on hand for the announcement. Rotarian Tim Lounsbury said the idea originated with past president Wayne Leach, who wanted to do something for at-risk children. Rotary approached Langley Boys and Girls Club, and discovered a new building was needed. Rotary has since used proceeds from its Fraser Valley Wine Tasting Festival, as well as games nights and other activities, to raise the $80,000. Although the total cost of the new portable is still being worked out,
Tuckwell estimated they are two thirds of the way there. “Replacing it with a larger portable building has been a top priority,” Tuckwell said. “The Rotary Club of Langley Central has stepped in with the lead gift to help us to do that.” The rest of the cost will come from other donors in the community, she added. She’s hoping construction can start in 2011. Tuckwell said the new clubhouse will meet the increasing demand for service in Douglas Park, ensuring that children have a safe, supervised, affordable, and accessible place to spend their afterschool hours. Lounsbury said Rotary has partnered on a number of projects over the years, including helping to provide new playgrounds for Nicomekl and Douglas Park Community Elementary Schools. Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver currently serve 200 children and youth in its Langley chapter. Langley City council provides them with an annual grant of $3,500. Langley Boys and Girls Club currently runs out of a portable building that is now more than 20 years old, and too small for the current needs of the club. Until the completion of the new facility, the club can use space vacated by the YMCA daycare next door. On average, the Boys and Girls Club runs activities for 75 neighbourhood children each day.

They fight fires, they pull people from car wrecks and they can keep people alive with CPR. But who knew firefighters could sing? On Sunday the paid on-call firefighters at the Walnut Grove hall will raise their voices to help feed people. They have partnered with Aldor Acres, which will provide horse-drawn wagons that will carry food donations from the public along a travelling carol route through Walnut Grove. The procession of firefighters and their families will include two fire trucks, one of which will transport a guest who likes to dress in red. “Firefighters will be running alongside greeting the residents and handing out candy canes,” explained firefighter and organizer Shawn Cahill. They want to let people know the date and route so everyone can be ready Sunday evening. “In recent years we have had more and more people approach us to say how disappointed they were they missed the carollers or they were upset we changed the route so we are bringing everyone up to speed,” he said. The event goes rain or shine, and contingency plans have been made in case of an emergency call. “The career firefighters will be covering the area for any emergency calls but should a major incident occur we would have to pull the paid call members off to assist,” he explained. People are asked to have donations of non-perishable food for the Langley Food Bank and expect to hear the sounds of the season as the hall is stacked with talent. “The best singers would have to be [firefighters] Richard Crowie or Vince Hazelton – they are regular song birds with the legs to match,” Cahill joked. It starts at 6 p.m. from the fire hall, passing James Kennedy Elementary, Walnut Grove Secondary, Walnut Grove Community Centre, crossing 88th Avenue, past Alex Hope Elementary and back through the area between 212B and 213th Streets, and 94B Avenue.

Change in wind As the BC Liberal Party race to replace Premier Gordon Campbell heats up, proposals that are arising could affect electors of all political stripes throughout B.C. Candidate Christy Clark, for instance, has hinted that she might move the province quickly into general election mode, to allow all voters – not just BC Liberals – to elect their premier. She’s not even a sitting MLA right now. But her argument speaks against tradition. More usually, a sitting BC Liberal in a safe riding would step aside for her. Opposition parties traditionally have respected such a move, and contest the seat less vigorously than in a by-election or general election. With the resignation of BC NDP leader Carole James, Clark’s suggestion is more reminiscent of W.A.C. Bennett’s decimation of his right-wing opposition by calling an election while they were leaderless and in disarray, 60 years ago. He parlayed his advantage into decades of Social Credit rule. It took the BC Liberals 40 years to recover, and the BC Conservatives remain on the political fringe. Clark may be thinking she can similarly pull a fast one on today’s NDP. Either way, it would put paid to B.C.’s fixed-election-date legislation – not a terrific legal hurdle, as demonstrated by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who instituted similar legislation and promptly ignored it. But unlike the federal case, B.C. held to its legislation through at least one election, and the change could result in voter backlash against Clark. Meanwhile, candidate Mike de Jong has proposed, with candidate George Abbott’s subsequent support, looking into lowering the voting age in B.C. to 16 years. While some argue that it would bring fresh blood into the election process, others wonder how the impetuosity of youth might affect valid decision-making. Who knows what other revolutionary concepts may emerge as the New Democrats start gearing up their drive to pick a new leader? – B.G.

LEC was community’s dream
vious council members, who, for the most part, were proud of the LEC structure and the outcome. Some on council have been accused by the mayor and his supporters of not wanting to cooperate and work together, yet it was the mayor who clearly drew a line in the sand very early in the term, repeatedly demonstrating that he had no interest in working with anyone. Right down to the very end when the Township was negotiating the LDG settlement, the mayor wanted to go to court with our partners despite being told that this would open the Township to significant risk. Your council chose the respectful and reasonable way of mediation to reach a fair settlement with all parties and that was done, bringing in an independent audit firm with stellar credentials. Their work formed the basis of this deal. Litigation, as the mayor wanted, had many risks, including the time it would take (potentially years), the costs of lawyers (estimated up to a million dollars) and the possibility for loss of the case (all costs estimated up to $15 million). The fair settlement achieved was $8.8 million completed.

Freedom of information
WikiLeaks leads way to freedom
Dear Editor, If I’m reading Brian G. Wood’s bizarre letter to the editor [WikiLeaks will restrict freedoms, Dec. 14 Letters, Langley Advance] correctly, there’s an unmistakable claim to it: if further restrictions come to the internet, then it’s WikiLeaks’s fault. This is arrant nonsense. The doer of the deed is the one responsible. If governments limit internet access, then the ones to
blame are the governments who do it (duh!). The appropriate response should be for the state to repeal the laws that make what Assange did illegal. That’s a simpler solution than pointless heavy-handed action. In fact, that’s what happened in Iceland. Assange leaked documents that showed that Iceland’s financial crisis was not a result of social spending, but rather, corruption in the

Dear Editor, Don’t you think that it’s about time some of the media stated printing some thing positive about the police? These brave men and women put their lives on the line every day to try to keep us safe, and what to they get? Nothing but abuse. If a policeman shoots someone in the line of duty, the immediate response is to blame the policeman. The poor cop hasn’t got time, in most cases, to analyze the situation. It’s “him or me.” Look at all the gangland shootings in the
last little while. Isn’t it just about time for the bureaucracy in Ottawa to come out with its annual statement that “Crime is down, and violent crime is way down?” What utter nonsense! That is just a load of twaddle to make us feel better. It’s the criminal who should be quaking in his boots, not some policeman trying to do his job, so tangled up in red tape that court cases are delayed and dismissed because it’s taken too long to go to court. We must have an effective justice system, and soon, before more people start taking the law into their own hands. David J. Standcumbe, Walnut Grove
differently once the winter months are upon us. Simply put, if you put a winter tire and an all season tire in the freezer for a day or so, the result would be that your all-season tire tends to feel like the pot roast you have next to it, while the winter tire remains flexible and soft. If we now apply these same principles of physics to our vehicle, would you rather drive on a flexible, pliable tire that is able to react under braking and handling in temperatures under 7 degrees or on four blocks of ice? I assume by now that you know where I am headed with this: The best way to look at this is that below 7 degrees: Winter tires = Flexible Tread compound = High grip Summer /All season tires = Hard Tread compound = Low grip So, in conclusion, the reason to install winter tires should be that of safety, safety of the driver, the passenger and all the rest of us on the road, and they should be mandatory between November and February. They provide; Excellent driving-behaviour on cold dry roads together with the best performance in winter conditions. If your vehicle needs tires don’t buy based on price, tires are the single most important part of your car and cheap tires are only a short term savings as they don’t brake or handle as well as they should and wear out faster costing you more in the long run. At PRECISION AUTO SERVICE, we only sell quality, long lasting tires that will meet the standards our customers expect. If you would like your tires inspected come see us at 22575 Fraser Highway, Langley.
The changing climate seems to be affecting snow fall year after year, and one would expect that modern vehicle technology would tend to lessen the need for a change of tires. So, do we really need Winter Tires? The answer is YES and here is why: One aspect of the motor vehicle which has not really changed over the past year’s, is the contact patch, or the surface area within which our car comes in contact with the road. Even today, the area that each of our wheels comes in touch with the road is not much larger than the size of one of our hands. It really is not much when one thinks about it, and therefore, we want to be able to maximize the traction within this area as much as we can in order to get the most from our tires. The other aspect not often mentioned is temperature, and that our all-season or summer tires become drastically less effective once the mercury falls below 7 degrees Celsius. There are three components that make up the composition of a winter tire, the tread pattern, the sipes or lacerations in the tread and finally the tread compound. Although the first two components aid in our car’s traction on snow and ice, it is the latter of these components that one could say is the most crucial, because it affects our automobile’s performance in the snow and on ice, as well as on wet or dry surfaces. Yes, you read correctly, I did say dry! The rubber compound used in winter tires is very different to the tires that we use the rest of the year, and they therefore react

Dear Editor, I am compelled to respond to the recent press release from the mayor regarding the Langley Events Centre [see Lack of paper trail cost $8.8 million, front page today’s Langley Advance]. When I was elected to council in 2005, the idea of a new arena complex to compliment the George Preston Recreation Centre was a dream for the Township of Langley. True to form in our community, as the idea began to grow in 2006 and early 2007, several community partner groups jumped on board. This project may have begun as a P3, but as more partners joined, it became a P4, then a P5, through to today when we have as many as a dozen partners all satisfied and proud of the end result. Since 2008, when the present mayor was elected, he has misled the council, staff, and the public by his own admission. He has worked to discredit the original key players – Township council, staff, Rich Coleman, and LDG. He made his point very clearly at the outset of the term that he was “going to take this building and the P3 down.” He has continued to mislead the public and attempt to discredit these folks. Mayor Green came in to his position as mayor with a negative mind set, and never once was he willing to listen or even attempt to understand or work with the pre-

Non-resident property electors are eligible to vote if they
own real property in the Township and are not otherwise eligible to vote as a resident elector. You must be the registered owner of real property within the Township for at least 30 days immediately prior to the day of registration and must only register to vote in relation to one piece of property. To register to vote, you will be required to provide: • TWO pieces of identification (at least one with a signature) • Proof of ownership (e.g. a recent title search print is the best proof of ownership.

This must be on the prescribed form obtained in advance from the Chief Election Officer. Forms are available at the Township website, tol.ca, or by mail, fax, or email. Section 41 (1) (a) of the School Act provides that the person must not be a resident elector of that or any other trustee electoral area of the School District.

Higher minimum wage OK: poll by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The B.C. minimum wage has become a hot button issue for politicians and businesses, and the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce recently asked its members to weigh in on the issue. The chamber polled its members over four days and received 87 responses, a very good number indicating high interest, said executive director Lynn Whitehouse. The majority of business owners felt they can get by with a higher wage floor in B.C. The chamber asked three questions on wages: • Should the minimum wage be increased in British Columbia, what impact would this have on your business?
Extreme negative – 4.7% Somewhat negative – 17.4% No impact – 77.9% • What impact would an increased minimum wage have on your staffing levels? Would result in layoffs – 2.3% Would negatively affect hiring additional staff – 9.3% Would result in a decrease in employee hours – 10.5% No impact – 77.99% • Would an increased minimum wage cause business closure? Yes – 0% No – 100% “The chamber has not yet taken an official position with regards to the minimum wage, as we are participating in the consultations with the B.C. Chamber of Commerce,” Whitehouse told the Langley Advance. British Columbia currently has the lowest minimum wage in Canada. Several of the current contenders for the Liberal leadership have talked about increasing it, and the NDP has been pushing for the rate to go up for years. The highest minimum wage in Canada is $10.25 per hour in Ontario, which also has a slightly
lower student wage. At this week’s chamber general meeting, chamber president Milt Kruger noted that the surveys came back with several comments, including concerns that employers would be less able to hire new workers, and fears that it will raise all starting wage expectations. But one positive comment was that it will give workers more disposable income, Kruger said. The chamber’s board of directors has also discussed the idea of allowing more “flex” hours in a work week, in which employers and workers agree on varying shifts that add up to 40 hours a week. A question on that topic was also put on the survey. • Would the ability to offer mutually agreed upon ‘flex’ hours within a work week be of benefit to your business and your employees? Very beneficial – 23% Somewhat beneficial – 37.9% No benefit – 33.3% Would cause difficulties – 5.7% The complete survey and results will be available soon from the chamber.

Dance studio getting ready
With the advent of the iPhone, the iTouch, the iPad, and the musically revolutionary iTunes, it’s no surprise that there’s now an iDance coming to Langley. It’s not a downloadable program for your computer or telephone; it’s a dance studio, expanding to include a local facility on the Langley-Surrey border, set to debut Jan. 1. Under the direction of studio founder Jane Scallon, iDance took root in Vancouver as a drop-in
dance/fitness facility for adults. The big difference from traditional dance studios: Guests don’t need experience. “The philosophy behind the creation of iDance Studios is to offer non-intimidating drop-in dance classes and offer dance-based fitness classes so that dance would be available to everyone,” Scallon said. I don’t know that I’ll be signing up – I have two left feet and (as my family points out) no sense of
rhythm. But I know people who are excited to check out some of the more non-traditional classes. Instead of the ballet, jazz, and hiphop that will also be available there, they’ve expressed interest in bellydancing, Bollywood, burlesque (maybe not so much), and cardio salsa. We’ll see what the wannabe dancers in Langley think of iDance, currently setting up shop at 19868 Langley Bypass. TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS Vancouver

B
ill Skilling wants to bring back that old-time Christmas spirit. One of the key activities of Christmases past was people gathering to sing carols and Christmas songs but there isn’t always an opportunity for people to participate in carolling. He and other members of the Langley Community Chorus
have decided to do something about it. They are inviting everyone down to the Douglas Park Spirit Square on Dec. 22. The organizer is expecting to get 45 fellow members from the chorus to gather in the band shell. They and any member of the public who drops by can partake in carolling from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. “We want to get the families together, and especially the kids,” Skilling said. “Kids aren’t singing these days like they used to.”
This will be a really traditional carolling event, Skilling added, with just the sounds of the singers to carry the music. “The more the merrier,” he said. There are lights in the park, but people are advised to bring a flashlight to read the lyrics. The organizers have rounded up plenty of Langley Advance songbooks for everyone to use. Skilling said people should also dress warmly, and bring blankets and chairs.

It just isn’t Christmas in Langley without ukuleles The Langley Ukulele Ensemble Saturday shows are selling out quickly. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
T
he Langley Ukulele Ensemble has two Christmas concerts to mark the holidays. Both shows are Dec. 18 and people shouldn’t wait on picking up tickets if they
want to attend. “Our afternoon show is getting close to sold out,” said Peter Luongo, who heads up the uke ensemble. “Our evening show has got some tickets.” This year’s concert takes place in the Langley Evangelical Free Church, 20719 48th Ave. It can accommodate about 400 people so that’s why two shows are needed. Start times are 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by calling 604-350-8537 (UKES) or online at www.
langleyukes.com. There is also a Dec. 19 show in Abbotsford and one previously in Vancouver. Some years the ensemble hasn’t had a holiday show in Langley. Luongo said they sure hear about it from the community. “Our Langley community is our support network,” he said. In 2011, the ensemble will be travelling quite far from home. The players will head to New Orleans, Hawaii (for the 17th year in a row), San Fransisco, Lake Tahoe, and Denver.

haring their gift of music with the community enabled students from the Langley Community Music School to help buy toys for kids in need this holiday season. The students were pretty proud of their accomplishment, said LCMS principal Susan Magnusson. The kids hosted two holiday concerts earlier this month that helped generate more than $600 for the Langley Christmas Bureau, money they’ve been told will be used to purchase toys, gift certificates, and food vouchers for struggling families in Langley this Christmas. “As a community organization, LCMS realizes the importance of giving back,” Magnusson said. LCMS’ senior ensembles and soloists presented a festive holiday program on Friday, Dec. 10. That concert included a special performance by guests the Langley Community Chorus, who led the crowd in a sing-along of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah. The following afternoon, LCMS’ junior orchestra, children’s choir, Suzuki groups and LCMS Fiddlers, played a varied program for a sold-out crowd in the Rose Gellert Hall.

“Dutch Masters” Water key to Christmas cactus success PAINT SPECIAL
Questions & Answers
since 1977
W
Hansom, via email hen a Christmas cactus looks wrinkled and wilted, the problem is almost always in the roots. Over-watering is the most common cause, as it rots the roots. When rot sets in, the roots are unable to move water and nutriments up to the stem segments, and the plant wilts. But it’s also possible to get the same wilting effect through under-watering. You should un-pot your cactus and look carefully at the roots. Remove any rotten or dead roots and repot the plant in fresh potting mix. Two parts potting mix, one part fine orchid bark, and one part sand would do nicely. Or you could use bromeliad soil. It would be good insurance to remove two or three of the most healthy stem segments and try to propagate them in the same mix you use for the mother plant. Baby plants often grow better as a community in the same pot. Generally, Christmas cacti root better if you leave them out on a windowsill for a few weeks before potting them up. The cut ends form calluses

Athlete stars in multiple sports by Adrian MacNair
news@langleyadvance.com
Cory McMurchy, a 15-year-old Langley sports prodigy, is part of a family that sounds like a throwback to the Conacher era. One of Canada’s most revered icons, Lionel Conacher was named greatest male athlete of the half-century in 1950, for succeeding at every sport he tried. Lionel was one of 10 children whose younger brothers Charlie and Roy were also hockey legends. The third of six children, Cory is a multi-talented athlete who has also found success in every sport he’s ever tried. And his brothers have come close to matching Cory’s accomplishments on the soccer and football field. But unlike two of his brothers who have been to the provincial championships and lost, Cory led his Bantam Langley Mustangs to become the 2010 provincial champions with a stellar undefeated season. On Dec. 5 the Mustangs thrashed the VCFL Champion Chilliwack Giants 57-1 to win the BC Bantam Football Provincial Championship. In the game, Cory kicked a field goal, scored a touchdown, and was awarded the game ball by head coach Cliff Freeman for allaround outstanding play. All the more remarkable, Cory fought off adversity this season when he broke his wrist playing soccer in August. That meant he couldn’t continue to play star quarterback for the Mustangs, even though he continued to play soccer with his cast wrapped in foam to protect it. “His cast looked like it weighed 10 pounds,” said his mother Sherree McMurchy, laughing. But it only meant a change of roles for Cory.
With natural leadership skills, Cory coached second-string quarterback Stephen Legare into the lead role and even helped the coaches on the sidelines as an offensive coordinator. Cory continued to play as a kicker, scoring field goals at crucial moments. Wayne McMurchy, Cory’s father, said his older brothers’ coaches noticed Cory from a very early age. As the five-year-old used to play with the soccer ball on the sidelines, the talent was self-evident. The next year, when he joined

Langley minor football, his coach Leon Lilly reportedly said at the post-season awards ceremony: “Are you six or are you 16?” In 2009 his soccer team Langley United went to Sweden for the Gothia Cup, finishing in the top 25 of 150 teams. Cory was team captain, playing centre midfielder. Cory’s main focus has been soccer and football, but he played baseball until he was 12. And in his only foray into basketball during Grade 8, he was MVP for R.E. Mountain Secondary. Juggling all these sports has been difficult, but Cory said people have been very understanding. “I want to thank my coaches for allowing me to show up late or even miss practice because of other sports,” he said. Looking ahead, Cory will be playing in the Star Bowl in May for an all-star tilt for select elite football players in his age division. So where does Cory and his siblings get all their talent from? His parents refuse to take the credit. “The boys and girls got the best parts of both of us,” Wayne said, “but they’ve learned on their own how hard it is to win.” Sherree insists they’ve never pushed their kids to succeed at all costs. “We’ve never given our kids a hard time,” she said. “We just ask them to put effort into it.” Now Cory wants to a scholarship from the University of Oregon to play for the Ducks football team. But it isn’t because he wants to give up soccer. “It’s hard to get a scholarship for soccer up here in Canada,” he explains. Like other boys his age, he crops his hair close to his eyes like Justin Bieber, and jokes about girls being one of his interests. Cory is looking at a life beyond sports, saying he’d like to become a dentist or a real estate agent some day. For now he’s content putting in between four to five days every week, training and playing sports. What drives Cory to put in so much time and energy? “Winning,” he says with a wide grin.

Tunnel Town Curling Club’s Bill Rafter rink pulled off one of the sport’s rarest feats at the Langley Men’s Bonspiel in November. The rink is comprised of (from left) 2nd Jeff Corbett, 3rd John Smiley, skip Bill Rafter, and lead Lloyd Hikida.
Curling
Eight-ender at local bonspiel by Mark Booth
Postmedia Network Inc.
For Bill Rafter and his rink, the Langley Men’s Bonspiel hit its high point in the first 15 minutes. The Tunnel Town Curling Club foursome finished in the “C” Event prize mix, but it’s what they accomplished right out of the gate that will be remembered long after the lateNovember bonspiel. Rafter’s team pulled off an eightender – scoring eight points in a single end. It’s estimated there are perhaps 25 recorded annually in all of Canada. It was a first for Rafter, whose decorated career spans more than 40 years and includes being a member of the Brian Gessner rink that represented B.C. at the 2009 senior men’s national championships in Prince Edward Island. It was the first end of their opening game, on Friday, Nov. 26. Tunnel Town had the hammer (final stone). Lead Lloyd Hikida’s first rock found the back of the house. Their opponent went for the freeze which Hikida managed to chip out and stick. It continued as Jeff Corbett threw the second stones. By the time third John Smiley was delivering his rocks, Tunnel Town opted to split the house, while its opponent continued to look for a freeze. With his team lying six, skip Rafter removed his opponents’ stone and stuck to lie seven. When their opponent’s final rock came up short, it left him with a draw for eight, and he went to the right side. His shot rested just inside the 12-foot ring.

Chiefs come back to drop Spruce Kings
After recent losses, the Chiefs stormed back and handed a beating to the Spruce Kings. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The Langley Chiefs tried an unusual experiment Tuesday, letting their fans in for a mid-day game starting at 11 a.m. at the Langley Events Centre. Although the crowd was not record-breaking, those Chiefs fans who took a long lunch hour got to see the hometown boys whup the Prince George Spruce Kings 8-2. The Chiefs took an early lead and kept adding to it. Trace Strahle put the first puck in the net for the Chiefs at five minutes into the first period, and Josh Myers
Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance
Langley Chief Kody Dhaliwal tried to get yet another shot past Prince George goalie Cameron Large. made it two-zip on a power play a few minutes later. Trevor Gerling rounded out the first period scoring. Prince George managed to make it on the board at 4:23 minutes of the second period, but any hint of a comeback was quickly quashed by
the Chiefs. Matt Ius scored bookend goals in the middle frame. In between Ius’s drives to the net, Kody Dhaliwal managed to sneak one past Kings goalie Cameron Large even as Dhaliwal fell to the ice and slid past the goal. Ius scored a little more than a minute into the final period to complete his hat trick. Kit Sitterley finished the scoring for the Chiefs, and Lyndon Martell of the Spruce Kings managed to get his team a final goal at the 14-minute mark. Langley took advantage of almost every power play during the game. The Spruce Kings had just six penalties during the course of the game, but the Chiefs scored goals on four of them, including all three of Ius’s goals. Langley plays Surrey tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m. at the South Surrey Arena, and will be back at the LEC at 7 p.m. Saturday to take on Quesnel.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Avoid all new starts, especially in work and health zones. An ongoing “condition” in one of these might reach a climax Monday/Tuesday – after this,the atmosphere changes: fresh horizons, fresh new people and opportunities (and challenges and competitors) arrive. Still, start nothing new yourself, before Dec. 30. Lie low, rest, contemplate and be charitable Sunday/Monday. (Being charitable when you’re “down” ensures a turn of luck later.) Practise safety. Your energy surges back midweek – Wednesday holds a lucky surprise, wise love! Chase money Thursday/Friday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Start no important projects, buy nothing significant, before Dec. 30. An old flame might appear this week or next, but it’s almost too late, sort of “life’s afterthought.” Your home continues to be sweet, affectionate. The end of this month and early January will favour re-decorating or purchasing property. “Vaguely” schedule that now, put aside the time. Happiness and social delights visit Sunday/ Monday. You might receive a loving message. A prospective relationship offers good romance, bad marriage. Leave commitment decisions for 2011. A month of work and health issues begins Tuesday. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Start nothing new before Dec. 30, especially in real estate, domestic, childoriented and security arenas. A former opportunity might return in one of these zones now or next week. Your career, duties owed to higher-ups, and your reputation demand attention Sunday/Monday – erratic relationships might threaten your progress or bring a climax. Tuesday begins a month of romance, creative successes and speculative “wins!” Optimism, social delights fill Tuesday/Wednesday: welcome a fine relationship Wednesday. Retreat Thursday/Friday. Your charisma attracts “deep stuff” Saturday.

Whereas,
Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: New projects and relationships will tend to go in circles – forever. So stay with the ongoing, finish up things that have sucked your energy for too long. Something from the past – a foreign contact, a legal, cultural or educational matter, a travel opportunity, perhaps a loved one, a wedding or divorce plan – returns now. You might as well tackle this, or more importantly, tackle the flaw that is preventing it from working. Intimacy, sex, investment and finances are mildly blessed all month: you could gain from another’s assets. Bosses, VIPs start to examine your performance. Taurus April 20-May 20: Don’t start new relationships or projects before Dec. 30. Stick with the ongoing, or reprise past involvements and opportunities. Chase money Sunday/Monday, but DON’T buy important items, especially televisions, computers, etc. A former financial opportunity might reappear, but its initial flaw has not disappeared, so stay out. Love exists, your spouse shows affection, others treat you well. Be wary of legal hassles and international travel: avoid them all month. Paperwork, talk and errands are lucky Wednesday. Settle down Thursday/Friday. Romance, beauty, pleasure come Saturday! Gemini May 21-June 20: Start nothing new, especially in contracts, agreements, marriage, partnerships,relocation,andpublicdealings.Something or someone from the past might appear in these zones: it’s probably more trouble than good. You might grow indecisive about a link. If you look deeply, you’ll see that your indecision is justified. Promise nothing, sign nothing. A month of mystery begins. Your energy perks up Sunday/Monday. Money and possessions meet barriers Tuesday, good luck Wednesday. Travel, communications go well Thursday/Friday. Home, family, security bless you Saturday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Don’t start new projects or relationships before Dec. 30. You might hear/ read a significant message Sunday. Gentle love and understanding fill Sunday/Monday – but Monday holds a couple of surprises, or stress that could affect your health briefly. This stress/health link has been around for seven years. It will end by March 2011. Gastro-intestinal irritations will ebb. The last year’s quiet cloud over your career will also end by March. A “domestic month” begins Tuesday. Your career/job meets luck Wednesday. Optimism, happiness visit Thursday/Friday! Retreat Saturday. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Avoid new starts before Dec. 30. Mysteries arise Sunday/Monday – good mysteries Sunday, leading to rewarding research, or sharing of intimacies, secrets. But take care Monday: don’t invest, borrow, or risk a romantic situation by being too “investigative.” Tuesday begins a month of details, errands, communications, paperwork and travel – be alert in all these, as mistakes are rife until late December. Wisdom, gentle love flow midweek, but are only lucky Wednesday, not Tuesday. Ambition, Thursday/Friday. Happiness, optimism, social joys arrive Saturday! A new life looms! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your energy remains high, but shy away from big new starts before Dec. 30. You’ll be indecisive until then. A voice from the past might speak Sunday/Monday, or you can be reminded of old relationships, perhaps of old ambitions this week and next. Tuesday begins a month of money, possessions, memory and sensuality. Midweek brings mysteries, subconscious urgings, changes, investments, large finances and intimate bonds. These are lucky Wednesday, not Tuesday. Wisdom, understanding, gentle love and international themes bless you Thursday/Friday. Your prestige rises Saturday.

Dec. 19 - Dec. 25 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Start nothing before Dec. 30. Nostalgia about a more secure time fills this week and next – or you face unfinished obligations, probably involving the government, institutions or disadvantaged people. You could find “lost” receipts, documents that will prove valuable in future – save them. Chores and health issues fill Sunday (good) and Monday (difficult). Relationships irk you Tuesday, but flow with pleasant, happy luck Wednesday. Your energy and charisma surge upward now through January! Life’s depths “surface” Thursday/Friday: research, don’t commit. Gentle love Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Avoid big new projects or relationships before Dec. 30. A former “light lover” or happy friend might return now to late month. Sunday/Monday are romantic, creative and pleasurefilled, but right after this you begin a month of quietude, moderate withdrawal, lowered energy and charisma. (Even Monday, though romantic, hits the turbulence of a “phase end.”) Tackle chores Tuesday (cautiously) and Wednesday (success, even money luck). Relationships confront you Thursday/Friday: all’s well, even a bit romantic. Pursue a mystery Saturday – a “gift” has good future implications. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Don’t start anything new before Dec. 30. A month of pressures and hard work ends Tuesday; four weeks of social delights, optimism, flirtations and happiness begin! But an incomplete career project overhangs this week and next – as long as it’s nothing new, try to finish it up now. Or, a former career role or employment opportunity might return, especially Thursday/Friday: sure, take it. Earlier, rest up, be domestic, Sunday/ Monday. Romance, creativity and pleasure meet barriers Tuesday, success and luck Wednesday. Exciting meetings portend future joys Saturday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Toyota still producing the perfect commuter car 2011 Toyota Yaris: Subcompact star’s nimble, thrifty and the price is right. by David Chao and Bob McHugh

Toyota Yaris
trim levels and has a start price of $14,905. In addition, there’s also a fourdoor sedan edition of the Yaris with a start price of $14,990. My test Yaris was a four-door sedan with an automatic transmission ($1,000) and it also came with a Convenience Package ($1,600) that includes air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, power
door locks, keyless entry and bunch of other stuff. It also bumped the full price to $17,350. Something to keep in mind before you get carried away with Yaris options is that its larger sibling the Toyota Corolla has a start price of just $15,460. Then again, while the Corolla offers more ‘car’ for the money, perhaps you want less ‘car’ and the best
possible fuel economy. And when it comes to fuel economy Yaris is best of the best, as it’s in a class full of super fuel misers. A combined city/highway fuel efficiency rating of just 6.3L/100 km for a Yaris with a manual transmission and 6.3L/100 km with an automatic has allowed it to claim the federal ecoENERGY award in the subcompact class for five years straight.

It can be tough at the top. Not too long after Toyota was declared the biggest car company in the world, the global car market went in the dumper. In recent months and closer to home, Toyota, the darling of every auto consumer reliability and quality survey, has been hit with a barrage of safety recalls and grilled by governments for its conduct. If this has rocked the trust that the Canadian consumer has in the Toyota brand, so far it hasn’t shown up in the most accurate of all quality measurements – resale value. In the most recent Canadian Black Book annual Retained Value Awards, Toyota and Lexus models took top spot in seven of 17 categories. The winner in the subcompact segment, the Toyota Yaris, is the focus of this review. Yaris is also the lowest-priced new Toyota that you can buy and has a start price of just $13,995 for a threedoor hatchback version call the Yaris CE. Moving up the model line, there’s a five-door hatchback version of Yaris that comes in both LE and RS
