ADVANCE POLL

Have you decided which way you’ll vote in the transit plebiscite?

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Township’s budget was put under public scrutiny at two public open houses on March 9 and 10.

A few dozen people stopped by over the two days to ask Township staffers questions about spending and taxes.

The budget currently has a “base” tax increase of 1.59 per cent, plus there are four priorities that could be included that would push it as high as 3.69 per cent.

The four priorities are: adding eight new firefighters, adding three new RCMP officers, an increase for roadwork, and funding for a long-term infrastructure reserve fund.

There were a number of hot topics people asked about, said Karen Sinclair, deputy director of finance.

“Probably the most have come in about Brookswood-Fernridge,” said Sinclair.

An unpopular new Official Community Plan was scrapped by council last year after major protests from hundreds of Brookswood residents.

There is theoretically funding to start a new OCP process this year, Sinclair noted. There is $61,000 left over from the $500,000 for the first plan, and $150,000 of new Township money available. If the Township council doesn’t vote to move ahead this year, the $61,000 would revert

Langley Township’s deputy director of finance Karen Sinclair (left) talked to a resident at the budget open houses last week. to the landowners who put up the $500,000 for the first plan several years ago.

Whether the OCP starts up again is up to a vote of council.

There were a number of people asking about firefighters, including some Township firefighters, Sinclair said.

The fire department is asking for more hiring so that every responding fire crew can have four firefighters, which is considered the safe industry standard.

One of the top questions was about the ISOasis project, a plan to build a new quar-

antine and treatment area for new stray cats collected at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter.

That project has been funded, with the Township kicking in 40 per cent of the cost over two years, while the Langley Animal Protection Society provides the rest of the money.

Langley Township council will take in public comment on the budget, from the open houses and elsewhere, before voting on which of the additional items, if any, to include in the final budget.

A police dog handler crashed tailing a dangerous driver.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A Langley man faces several charges after a high speed chase that sent a Surrey RCMP officer to the hospital Thursday night.

At about 9 p.m., multiple 911 calls were received about a

vehicle being driven erratically in South Surrey.

Witnesses described a man in a Pontiac Trans Am driving at a high rate of speed, said Sgt. Dale Carr, spokesperson for the Surrey RCMP. Police tried to pull the Trans Am over, but it sped off.

To avoid a chase that could endanger the public, police pulled back on the ground while the Air One police helicopter followed the vehicle from above.

The vehicle was observed

speeding through South Surrey, running red lights and driving into oncoming traffic.

The car headed east and eventually turned on 51B Avenue from 192nd Street in Cloverdale.

During the arrest, a Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Service truck rolled down an embankment of 192nd Street.

The officer was taken to hospital but later released. The police dog was checked out by a vet and found to be uninjured; the dog is now at home with his handler.

The suspect is well known to police and is prohibited from driving, said Carr.

A search of the Trans Am turned up stolen license plates, break and enter tools, electronic gear, and keys.

“Prolific offenders will often steal vehicles or license plates and use them to commit other crimes,” said Carr. “In this case, the suspect put the lives of our officers and the public at risk through dangerous driving despite facing a 10-year driving prohibition.”

COMMUNITY LIVING

Fort residents voice concerns Developers are proposing a condo and townhouse project in the Fort.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Fort Langley residents considered a small but high-density housing project planned for the village’s downtown at an open house March 12.

Lombardy Park is a 16unit development planned for three current lots at the corner of McBride Street and Mavis Avenue.

Fort residents looked over the second version of designs at Thursday’s public open house at the Fort Langley Community Hall, not far from the planned site.

The developers are planning 12 apartments and four townhouses, with the apartments around 1,200 square feet and the townhouses at 2,000.

All the parking for the new project will be underground, with 48 total spaces, said architect Steven Cross.

He notes it is denser than local zoning bylaws

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Fort residents checked out plans and designs for a new development proposed for the corner of McBride and Mavis. permit, and the developer will have to ask Langley Township council for an exemption.

The Lombardy Park project has a density of one unit per 146 square metres, said Cross. That’s compared to one unit for 333 square metres for the nearby McBride Station development.

Cross said he’s heard a lot of questions about the esthetics of the project from residents.

Others who spoke to the Langley Advance raised concerns about the density.

“I think it’s too dense,” said Eric Woodward. As the developer of the con-

troversial Coulter Berry building now under construction, he knows that some people in the Fort will find that ironic, he said.

But Woodward said the overall density of this site is higher than in much of Willoughby.

“This is quite a significant improvement from the first design,” said Richard Bent, but he also brought up the density.

“It’s still more than double the zoning, and that’s a concern,” said Bent.

Judy and Mario Antunes just moved to Fort Langley from Coquitlam three

months ago, seeking a quieter neighbourhood.

“Looks pretty good,” said Mario. “I think there’s more than enough parking for everyone.”

He is worried about congestion in the area, he said.

Judy said from what she has heard, the zoning allows up to eight units on a site that size.

“If the zoning law says eight, I don’t understand why it’s not eight,” she said.

The design of the Lombardy Park project is based in part on other local homes and businesses, including the former Fort Hotel that burned to the ground in the 1970s.

Cross said the developers have been working with the Township and its heritage deparment.

The project hasn’t yet gone before the council for consideration, and it may be a couple of months before that happens.

Partly, it will depend on the feedback from residents at the open house, said Cross.

If the developer asks council for greater than allowable density, a public hearing would be held before council can approve any changes.

COURTS

Accused admits he stabbed victim in suite The accused has admitted killing a victim, but not to murder.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The only issue in the murder trial of Jason Terrence Brewer is whether he intended to kill victim Cole Adam Manning.

On the first day of the Langley man’s trial Monday in New Westminster’s courthouse, lawyers for both sides told Justice Murray Blok that Brewer had admitted causing Manning’s death.

The question is whether there was the intent to actually kill the victim, said Crown counsel Rajiv Khangura.

Manning, a 40-year-old Cloverdale resident, was stabbed to death in the basement suite occupied

by Brewer on Dec. 30 or

Spree hit seven banks: RCMP

Mounties say they have captured a suspect in seven bank robberies.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A man who allegedly held up banks in Langley, Maple Ridge, and Surrey has been arrested and now faces charges in seven heists.

The most recent robbery took place on March 4 at 3:15 p.m. in Maple Ridge, when a lone man walked into the Bank of Montreal in the 20600 block of Lougheed Highway, allegedly claimed to have a gun, and demanded money.

Ridge Meadows RCMP officers dispatched to the scene located a man matching the suspect’s description and took him into custody.

The officers seized key evidence that police believe links this man to the robbery, said Sgt. Annie Linteau with the Lower Mainland District RCMP. Ridge Meadows RCMP’s Street Enforcement officers thought their suspect in custody resembled photos they had seen of a man responsible for six previous robberies.

They contacted the Surrey RCMP Robbery Unit and the Langley RCMP Serious Crime Unit annd the three detachments began comparing notes.

Pursuing their leads collectively, the teams got a search warrant for the suspect’s Langley home as well.

Charges have now been approved against Thomas Dennis Prosser, 36, who remains in custody pending a court appearance.

The robberies started at the end of January.

• Jan. 26, at the Royal Bank in the 18600 block of Fraser Highway in Surrey’s Clayton Heights area.

• Feb. 17, at the Westminster Savings branch in the 20800 block of Fraser Highway in Langley. In this robbery, the suspect left without any money.

• Feb. 20, at the 18600 block of Fraser Highway in Surrey.

• Feb. 27, at the HSBC in the 20000 block of the Langley Bypass.

• March 3, at the Scotia Bank in the 2400 block of 160th Street in Surrey.

• March 3, at the CIBC in the 3000 block of 272nd Street in Langley.

In all but the Feb. 17 robbery, the suspect left the banks or credit unions with an undisclosed amount of cash, Linteau said.

testimony, and asked her about contamination, whether the apartment was meticulous, and the extent of her training on crime scene preservation.

He specifically asked a number of questions about whether any other wallets had been found at the scene of the killing.

When Munn said there was only one wallet found, Myers asked if there could have been another one police missed.

“I believe we would have uncovered another wallet if one had been there,” Munn said, noting police conducted what she called a very thorough search of the suite where the crime took place.

Throughout the trial, members of Manning’s family sat in the front row to watch the proceedings.

Brewer, in his 20s, sat in the prisoner’s box wearing a blue long-sleeved polo shirt and jeans. The accused, his dark hair buzzed close to his scalp, watched the proceedings quietly throughout the first day of the trial.

The trial is expected to take up to three weeks.

Khangura said he plans to introduce witnesses including a number of

police officers, as well as friends and acquaintances of Brewer who saw or spoke to him around the date of the killing.

Cellphone records of

calls between Brewer and Manning showing that the two had planned to meet the evening Manning was last seen will also be entered.

Blame it on definition of success

T

he blame game got started even before the ballots entered the mail stream.

Metro Vancouver residents will very shortly be voting on whether or not to accept a 0.5 per cent increase to the PST to help fund 10 years’ worth of transit projects put forth by the Mayors’ Council.

With polls leaning heavily towards the No side, the Yes side is pounding the pavement, promising to have Jim Pattison watch over the funds, and generally launching every glad-handing politician at every SkyTrain lineup, hoping to move the vote.

When the plebiscite was first discussed, the provincial government tended to catch the heat. After all, if the province had been managing things properly, why would it even come to this?

And then the Mayors’ Council looked like the ones to blame. After all, how had they let things get stalled like this? Why couldn’t the mayors agree on anything?

And then there’s TransLink – whatever that really is. The average Joe rightfully looks at the golden deals of bigwigs at the organization, the fitness facilities for staff, and the broken plans for – well, a lot of things – and thinks someone in that mess has to be to blamed.

And now, yes, now the over-55 set are getting blamed. Everyone with a car and a carport and some grey in their hair is already getting blamed for voting No and scuttling a future filled with shiny new buses, better bridges, and a SkyTrain system that actually runs.

The baby boomers are apparently, when polled, leaning towards No because they don’t use or need transit, they hate paying more taxes, and spend a lot of time in Arizona or in their La-Z-Boy recliners.

While some of that is undoubtedly partially true, what we do know for sure is that no one under 50 or over 50 who is not an elected politician or a TransLink executive or board member is to blame for an unsuccessful outcome.

Other other hand, we’re not sure than a No vote would necessarily be an unsuccessful outcome.

ust be the herring fishery is opening soon, I figure.

There sure seems to be a lot of them out there right now, anyway.

Especially the red ones.

The Lower Mainland transit tax plebiscite is turning into a veritable red herring hatchery – spawning them right and left, and sending them into the already muddy TransLink River Basin where they churn the waters further, reducing visibility to unprecedented levels.

For starters, we have the king red herring – the whopper – the biggest one of them all: everybody hates TransLink.

Big deal. We’ve known that for years, especially out here in the hinterlands where we have the ongoing privilege of paying premium prices for marginal (or no) services, and are expected to feel grateful for the opportunity to subsidize the more important people who eat work and play at the centre of the Metro Vancouver universe.

We have lots of reasons to hate TransLink. We hate the TransLink CEOs and upper management classes who through the years have meticulously avoided sullying themselves through contact with bus seats and the lesserplebes who regularly populate them.

They are the same TransLink CEOs and upper managers who just as meticulously cash their exorbitant pay cheques

Letters to the editor

Cyclists could use safer roadways Dear Editor, I’m an avid road cyclist and ride the roads of Langley City and Township year-round.

Painting a white bicycle icon on the shoulder and adding signage identifying a bike lane is the least that can be done for the safety of the riders.

I’ve ridden my bike throughout North America and have never seen so much junk accumulate on the shoulders. Initially, I thought it may be just the leftovers from a tough winter, but the junk is there all year round: broken glass, car parts, bungy cords, leftover gravel from pothole repairs, and lots of garbage. And after a wind storm the

amount of tree limbs make riding close to the edge of the road impossible.

Bike icons are painted on the sidewalk along 96th Avenue between 208th and 212th Streets, but the sidewalk has driveway accesses and raised or lowered manhole covers, causing riders to travel down the road with limited shoulder space.

A street-sweeper removing hazards from the shoulder would keep cyclists from having to dodge into the traffic lanes.

Sidewalks are for walking (hence the word “walk”) not for cycling. Get rid of the designated bike lane on sidewalks.

Principal facts miss reality

Dear Editor, Kristen Cassie, principal of Roots and Wings Montessori school, is incorrect when she says whole countries have banned smart meters [Hydro overpowers private school, March 10, Langley Advance]. That is an urban legend that makes the rounds on the internet quite frequently, usually with Italy the alleged banner. In fact, smart meter usage exceeds 90 per cent in Italy.

One would think a school principal would check her facts more carefully. Or perhaps she just chooses to believe it because it suits her particular opinion, no matter how false.

G. Smith, Langley

TransLink not trustworthy

Dear Editor, Metro Vancouver’s transit authority bought a building for $17,200 million, sold for $8,200 million, rented it for $63,000 a month for many years, bought it back for $13,900 million. They pay two CEOs for six months, one criticized for claiming more than $83,000 in bonus. Two CEOs times $35,000 per month equals more tax money lost.

Lost revenues for TransLink by fare evasion is estimated at $18 million. Over 29 years: $552 million gone.

The Compass Card system is almost two years overdue, smart cards and fare gates are over budget and still not working. The cost of fixing them is pegged at $194 million.

In December 2014, Langley Township’s mayor thought the majority of Metro Vancouver residents would vote “Yes” for a sales tax increase for more transit. Surrey, Langley, and Aldergrove “working joe” commuters are already paying for two bridges at $144 per month.

Vancouver and Burnaby get the most benefit from transit, at 95 per cent. Over the Fraser River, in Surrey, Langley, and Aldergrove, our benefit is perhaps 10 per cent. Should we give more of our taxes to these people when they don’t have their own house in order enough to trust them with it?

Ras Gosse, Langley

CNR heritage station with coach and caboose (and model railroad), and heritage buildings, and all on the banks of B.C.’s largest river, with waterfront activities, camping, and trails.

The installation of the underground wiring, rather than beautifying Fort Langley, will create 12 to 18 months of disruption.

The street trees that help create the atmosphere and the heritage telephone poles will be removed and replaced with green transformers and modern poles.

Each building will have the wires put underground and the switchboxes changed at the owners’ expense. Even those whose wiring comes from the street behind the buildings will be unfairly charged for frontage. The cost is a lot to the individual and to the taxpayer, even if the Township picks up the bills.

Pioneer Alex Hope was responsible for lighting up the village of Fort Langley, as he was able to persuade the BC Electric Co. to hook up a wire to the village from the nearby station. Fort Langley was the first town to have street lighting.

We need to keep these overhead wires as a special reminder of the past. As milk is now seen to come from cartons, not from the udders of family cows, underground wires will not show us how we get our lights.

Bays Blackhall, Langley

The provincial government has ordered Langley and other B.C. school districts to cut their administration costs by $186 million. Readers weigh in: Katie Trondsen – So they lost the battle with teachers and are now going after administration instead? That’s pretty low.

C B C ’s M A R K E T P L AC E Thanks Bruce,

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

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

Sincerely, Amy Gill

He had happily donated time, energy, and resources to charitable and business efforts, telling the Langley Advance at the time that he didn’t mind.

“I enjoy them all,” he had said.

“I don’t do things unless I enjoy them.”

Life is too short to do things you don’t like, Ball had said, convinced it was that attitude that won him the special acknowledgement.

shot, dumped

A Langley man was dumped in Port Kells after being shot and wounded.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A Langley man was found shot and bleeding in rural Port Kells just before midnight Wednesday, Surrey RCMP said.

At 11:55 p.m., B.C. Ambulance paramedics called in the police, saying they had been contacted about a man lying in the 19300 block of 80th Avenue.

The 28-year-old man was being helped by several local residents when Surrey RCMP arrived, said Staff Sgt. M.A. Hedderson.

The victim was suffering from a gunshot wound to his lower body, and was taken to hospital in serious but stable condition.

The man is known to police, said Hedderson.

The shooting victim had apparently been shot in a vehicle elsewhere, then was dropped off on the road where he was found.

Hedderson said it appears to have been a targeted shooting.

The shooting is the latest in a string of attacks in Surrey, with four incidents in Newton over the two days from Tuesday to Wednesday.

At least three of those shootings are believed to have been linked, Surrey RCMP have said. Two people have been injured so far in the Newton-area shootings.

The RCMP are asking anyone who has information on this latest shooting on the Langley border, who may have seen the shooting or the victim being pushed out of the vehicle on 80th Avenue, to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or CrimeStoppers at 1800-222-8477 (TIPS).

JUNIOR B HOCKEY

Kodiaks forced into hibernation

Aldergrove dropped four straight to redhot Mission City, who ousted the Kodiaks from the playoffs.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

There will be no championship repeat for the Aldergrove Kodiaks this Pacific Junior Hockey League post-season.

The Kodiaks, who won the PJHL playoff title last March, have been eliminated by the upstart Mission City Outlaws.

A 5-3 win over the Kodiaks at Aldergrove Arena last Wednesday lifted the Outlaws to a 4-1 victory in games in the best-of-seven, Harold Brittain Conference final series.

The Kodiaks just couldn’t contain the Outlaws’ top offensive player, Bryce Pisiak, who posted two goals (including the winner with a 1:10 to go in regulation) and two assists to lead the Outlaws to the seriesclinching victory.

Pisiak, 19, leads the Outlaws in playoff scoring with nine goals and 17 points. He scored 10 points (six goals, four assists) in five games against the Kodiaks.

After it took them the full seven games to battle past the Abbotsford Pilots in their playoff opener, the Kodiaks were looking to advance to the PJHL championship series for the third consecutive year.

But the Outlaws had a say about that, as they continued their Cinderella run through the playoffs.

The Outlaws pulled off a bit of an upset in their first round series by dispatching the highscoring Langley Knights in six games and then, after losing their opener to the Kodiaks by a

5-1 score, proceeded to win the next four to book their ticket to the PJHL final.

Mission had a mediocre regular season, finishing 21-201-2 to take third in the Harold Brittain, one point better than Abbotsford. But thus far, they have caught lightning in a bottle in the playoffs.

In what turned out to be their final game of the season, the Kodiaks carried a 3-2 lead into the third period, but the Outlaws scored the only three goals of the final 20 minutes to earn the win.

After Pisiak’s game winner, Mission City’s Tristan Dundas deposited the puck into the empty net with four seconds to go in the game to seal the victory.

Desperate for the tying goal in the final minute of the third frame, the Kodiaks pulled goaltender Ben Giesbrecht in favour of an extra attacker.

Cameron Davitt, Aaron Markin, and affiliate player Noah Wiebe scored for the Kodiaks, who had a 31-28 edge in shots.

Outlaws vs. Pack

The Outlaws are playing the Tom Shaw Conference playoff champion North Vancouver Wolf Pack in the PJHL championship series.

The best-of-seven series got underway yesterday (Monday, March 16) with game one at the Harry Jerome Rec Centre in North Vancouver.

The game got underway after the Langley Advance went to press Monday afternoon.

ICE CHIPS: Take away their series-opening loss to the Kodiaks, and the Outlaws have won eight of their past nine playoff games, including four straight over the Langley Knights, who jumped out to what looked to be a commanding 2-0 lead in games in their best-of-seven series.

TRACK AND FIELD

TWU women make school history Female Spartans brought home seven medals from the CIS nationals.

Trinity Western University’s women’s track and field team finished second overall at the CIS national championships for the first time in program history, as the Spartans collected 79 team points and seven medals over the threeday competition at the St. Denis

Sports Centre at the University of Windsor.

Fifth-year Fiona Benson led the way for TWU on Saturday as she captured gold in the 1500-metre race with a time of 4:18.67 for her second individual medal of the meet.

On Friday, Benson also earned a silver medal in the 3000m.

Over the course of the weekend, Benson won four medals, including bronzes in the 4x400m and 4x800m to cap her Spartans career as the

most decorated TWU track and field athlete at the CIS level.

Benson’s impressive university career came to completion in the final women’s race of the meet as she helped the Spartans 4x400m team to a bronze medal with a time of 3:50.56. Joining Benson were Anastasia Pearse, Rachel Shuttleworth, and Maya Daly.

Yale tops B.C.

The Yale Lions are B.C. champions after taking down the Terry Fox Ravens 69-63 in the tournament final, played in front of 4,876 fans inside the LEC’s arena bowl on Saturday night.

Yale guard Jauquin Bennett-Boire was a force to be reckoned with and showed why he’s considered one of the best high school players in B.C. Bennett-Boire scored a game-high 44 points and pulled down 16 rebounds in the victory.

“There’s no words in the dictionary for this,” said Bennett-Boire. “It’s the biggest moment of all our lives. Basketball means so much to all of us and we’re going to remember this for the rest of our lives.”

The game was what you’d expect out of a championship final with the lead going back and forth and both teams hitting big shots, including Bennett-Boire who drained a jumper at the buzzer to give the Lions a 33-32 lead at halftime.

The second half was even more dramatic than the first. The Ravens took the lead early in the third quarter but were unable to stretch it thanks to more clutch buckets from tournament MVP BennettBoire, in one of the best performances in BC basketball finals history.

“Just doing what we always do, playing hard,” said Bennett-Boire, who also added three assists and five steals to his total.

“Playing hard on defense and then translating to offense, that’s championship basketball.”

Yale was not ranked in the pre-season rankings but proved their doubters wrong as the No. 5 seed in the tournament is now tops in the province.

“When we first saw the pre-season rankings we were at the bottom of the Honourable Mention list,” said Roberts. “There were a lot of mountains to climb. Jauquin led the way and it was a remarkable run. As we went further and further in the season, we practiced for this game.”

Lions guard Riley Braich along with Bennett-Boire were voted first team allstars, as were Terry Fox’s Michael West and Jomari Reyes.

Ravens forward Scott Barker was also voted tournament’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player.
