DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
A 69-year-old Langley woman has been fined for injuring a female flagger Monday afternoon (Dec. 5) in the 26200 block of 56 Avenue in Aldergrove. Witnesses told Langley RCMP the elderly driver was at the wheel of a Toyota Corolla heading eastbound at a high rate of speed when the collision occurred around 2:30 p.m. The driver pulled over and stayed at the scene, police said. The victim, a woman in her 30s, was one of three flaggers directing traffic around a cloverleaf where a BC Hydro crew was laying wire. The flagger was transported by air ambulance to hospital for treatment of what the RCMP described as “serious but not life threatening injuries.” The driver has been ticketed for driving “without consideration” an offence that carries a $196 fine and six penalty points. Earlier the same day, two men had to be extracted from an overturned cherry picker or “bucket” van in the the 25300 block of Fraser Highway around 12:30 p.m. when the eastbound van apparently drifted off the road to the right and went into a drainage ditch, striking a culvert. The 33-year-old driver was extracted from the vehicle quite quickly. However, his 24-year-old passenger was trapped in the vehicle for more than two hours. Both men were airlifted to hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries, police said. Police are asking anyone who witnessed either collision and hasn’t been interviewed to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

It’s game on for a team of Langley Little League baseball players. The Langley All-Stars, a select group of 11, 12 and 13-year-olds, are off to Uganda next month as part of a humanitarian baseball trip. The players — who represented Canada as the national champions at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. — are heading to the African country as part of Pearl of Africa Series from Jan. 15 to 21. The initiative is a week-long event including games, activities, and community demonstrations. It is being organized by Right To Play, an international humanitarian and development organization, Ruth Hoffman, a Vancouver woman who came up with the initial idea for the trip, and the producers of the documentary Opposite Field, which was already in the process of creating a project on baseball in Uganda. Uganda was scheduled to face the Langley team at the World Series, but the Ugandan players were denied visas to enter the United States due to some discrepancy in their paperwork. continued, PAGE 4

Johnson elected board chair DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The new chair and vice-chair of the Langley Board of Education are strong supporters of the provincial auditor-general’s prescription of strong medicine to cure the school district’s financial problems. Wendy Johnson, one of the five trustees elected in the Township, was chosen as chair at the inaugural meeting of the newlyelected board of education Monday night (Dec. 5) while Rob McFarlane from the City was named vice-chair. Both topped the polls in their respective communities, winning the most votes. Longtime trustee Alison McVeigh was nominated for both positions by trustee Rod Ross, but lost in a secret ballot. Both Johnson and McFarlane had just been elected to their first terms as trustees three years ago when the $13.5 million deficit was uncovered and the provincial government ordered it paid back over four years. Critics, especially the teachers and support staff unions, have complained the cuts have been excessive and the board should have fought for better terms. During their campaigns for a second term, Johnson and McFarlane both emphatically backed the recommendations of the provincial auditor-general’s report on the deficit, with Johnson posting a copy of the report on her campaign website, and McFarlane condemning a “shocking” lack of fiscal controls before the auditor got involved, in his online video recorded for The Times. At the Monday night inaugural meeting, the chair and vice-chair were elected to serve 18-month terms, doing away with the temporary revolving-chair system that saw a different trustee helm a board meeting every month. In their remarks Monday night, the returning trustees tended to talk about staying the course and sticking to the fiscal recovery plan, while the two new trustees, Megan Dykeman and Candy Ashdown, talked about the need for a new direction. Dykeman called for more accountability and improved communications to “rebuild”
relationships with “partner groups” like parents, while Ashdown signaled she will be pressing for an easing of financial cutbacks by thanking the unions who represent teachers and school support staff for their endorsements. McVeigh said the district has made “excellent progress” toward getting its financial house in order, thanks to district staff. “We cannot do this without the excellent guidance of our senior management team,” McVeigh said. Secretary-treasurer David Green, who was brought in to put the district’s financial house in order, said the work is proceeding well. “In 13 months, I really think we’ve accomplished a lot as a management team,” Green said Monday. Ross was upbeat, saying the district has “done some amazing things.” Trustee Cecelia Reekie, the first aboriginal person elected as a Langley school Dan FERGUSON/Times Reporter trustee, began serving her Members of the Kwantlen First Nation, Chris Thomas first full term Monday.

Woman sought for fraud counts A 28-year-old Langley woman is accused of racking up charges on two stolen credit cards. Lisa Marie Goddard has been charged with two counts of possessing or using a stolen credit card, three counts of fraud under $5,000, theft under $5,000 and causing a person to use a forged document. A warrant has been issued for her arrest. Langley RCMP say credit cards were stolen from two people and used without their permission earlier this year. The first victim Lisa Marie noticed her MasterGoddard card missing on Sept. 26 and two days later, more than $200 worth of charges were assessed to her card. The second victim’s wallet was stolen in Surrey on Oct. 7, and later that day, more than $750 worth of charges were assessed to her Visa card. Goddard is also wanted for breaching an undertaking and an additional count of theft under $5,000. If anyone has information that would assist the police to locate and arrest Lisa Marie Goddard, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. If you need to remain anonymous, please call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477)
INFORMATION NEEDED Surrey RCMP are looking for information about an arson fire that occurred on the Langley-Surrey border late last year. Police say that at about 3:50 a.m. on Dec. 10, 2010, they were alerted to a fire in the 19400 block of 94 Avenue.The fire, which was found to have been deliberately set, was in a business area, Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP General Investigative Section at 604 5990502, or CrimeStoppers.
Inaugural Township meeting an exercise in civility NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
In sharp contrast to the hostile atmosphere that dominated Langley Township politics for the past three years, Monday’s inaugural meeting of Township council was an exercise in civility. Mayor Jack Froese set the tone for the next three years, urging in his inaugural
address that differences be put aside for the greater good of the community. That hope was reinforced by Pastor Brent Cantelon of Christian Life Assembly, who prayed for unity and peace, the safety of Langley’s citizens, and prosperity and wisdom. Kwantlen First Nations people delivered a message in a song of a journey, and Froese and Councillors Michelle Sparrow, Charlie Fox, Steve Ferguson, Bev Dornan, Bob Long,
“I’m only here because of that lady there,” he said, nodding to his wife in the gallery. There were thanks, too, for Mel Kositsky, the councillor who took a gamble to contest the mayor’s chair, and lost. “It’s sad to be saying so long to a familiar face,” said Long, who predicted that it would not be long before Kositsky’s vast municipal government expertise would be put to good use.

Journey aims to create a legacy from PAGE 1
When Hoffman heard the story of their plight, she hatched the idea to send the Langley team to Uganda. With $115,000 raised, $40,000 is still needed to meet the $155,000 target.That money will cover sending the Langley baseball players to Uganda, as well as creating educational scholarships and other opportunities for Ugandan youth as part of a legacy fund. Organizers had set a target deadline of early December to come up with at least $75,000 of the money before finalizing the rest of the trip. “The response thus far to the Pearl of Africa Series has been inspirational and we are relying on community and corporate support to ensure that we can make the maximum impact with this initiative,” Robert Witchel, the Canadian national director of Right To Play, said in a press release. “The visit has been funded and now we want to ensure that the legacy of this great project is secured.” The legacy projects for the Ugandan youth include scholarship programs, funding for travel to participate in international tournaments and money to build

campaign in the Lower Mainland. Officers from the CN railway police, Fraser Valley Integrated Road Safety Unit, RCMP “E” Division T and Langley Traffic Sections began the hunt for suspected drunk drivers around 2 p.m. and continued overnight. In addition to the distracted and belt-less drivers, here is what the officers found: • One motorist was charged with driving impaired. • Three were handed 24-hour suspensions for suspected drunk driving and three others got the same for suspicion of driving while high on drugs.

In a 12-hour period last Friday, police at one Langley location caught 28 people using their cell phones or some other illegal distraction while driving. At $167 each and three penalty points if they happen to be texting, that’s more than $4,600 in fines and the possibility of higher insurance costs under the provincial system that charges $175 extra when a driver reaches four points, then imposes everbigger hikes for each additional point to a theoretical maximum of $24,000 for 50 or more. Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks called the number of distracted motorists “disturbing,” because roughly half of all fatal motor vehicle accidents in the Lower Mainland are caused by distracted drivers. The provincial law banning the use of all handheld devices while driving came into effect on Jan. 1, 2010. Police also fined 30 drivers for failing to wear their seatbelts during the Friday, Dec. 2 crackdown, the first official day of the annual Counterattack

Homeless people used to live where a skull was discovered last week in Aldergrove, police said. It is not known if the remains were one of the squatters who took up residence in some derelict military housing on the Department of National Defence property in the 26200 block of Robertson Crescent before the PMQs, or Personnel Married Quarters, were demolished. The remains were discov-
ered on the former housing site on Nov. 29 by two BC Hydro employees who were cutting tree branches to clear a power line. The area where the skull was spotted was cordoned off by RCMP and military police, who found other bones and a wallet with I.D. near the site of the first discovery. About 80 per cent of a skeleton was recovered. It appears to be the body of a man of undetermined age who lay there undiscovered for more than a year, police believe.

Both men shouted and swore at the bank employees and customers in the branch, threatening them and warning them not to move. The two men left in a stolen vehicle, pursued by police. After what the court described as a short high-speed chase, â&#x20AC;&#x153;much weaving in and out of trafficâ&#x20AC;? and a near-collision with a police cruiser, the robbers abandoned the stolen vehicle and fled on foot. Evans and his co-accused were arrested when they tried to hail a taxi. Both were convicted on multiple armed robbery charges. Evans was handed six years for robbing the tellers plus another year for using an imitation firearm and another six months for an unrelated April 2009 post office robbery in Hope. Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lawyer asked the appeals court to overturn the sentence, arguing six years was too long. The appeals court judges
disagreed, noting that Evans has a lengthy criminal record that includes 30 previous convictions for offences including assault with a weapon, robbery and carrying a concealed weapon. Evansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lawyer complained that the longest previous sentence imposed on his client was 30 months, and that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;step principleâ&#x20AC;? of sentencing says jail time should only be increased by â&#x20AC;&#x153;moderate stepsâ&#x20AC;? with each conviction. The three-judge panel said the principle doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;career criminalâ&#x20AC;? like Evans, where rehabilitation is not as important as â&#x20AC;&#x153;deterrence and denunciation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;While I might agree that the sentence is towards the higher end of an appropriate range I cannot say it is unfitâ&#x20AC;? ... said Justice Mary Saunders, in a written decision dismissing the appeal. The decision was unanimously endorsed by the other two judges.
It is not clear if the death was suspicious. The skeletal remains will be sent to Simon Fraser University for a forensic expert to assess early in the new year, RCMP said. The examination could not be performed any sooner because the expert is extremely busy. Anyone with information that could help police with their investigation is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Six years is on the high side for bank robbery, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not out of line for the gun-wielding bandit who robbed a Langley bank and then led police on a high-speed car chase, a threejudge B.C. Court of Appeal panel has ruled. Leonard Reginald Evans was 39 years old when he and a another man donned ninja-style masks to rob the Langley Scotiabank branch in the 6100 block of 200 Street on the afternoon of June 18, 2009. Evans was packing what the court described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;firearm or imitation firearmâ&#x20AC;? while his partner in crime was armed with a knife. After the pair overpowered a security guard, Evans stood guard at the bank entrance while his associate leaped over the gate that separates customers from the tellers, stealing more than $15,000.

Gail Martin, founder of Critter Care Wildlife Society, was pleasantly surprised Monday when a crew showed up to replace the roof of the triage centre at the animal rescue agency. So she told him how the fawn enclosure needed an addition and that some cement slabs donated by Abbotsford Concrete needed to be laid in their new skunk nursery. And, oh yes, the roof on the triage centre needed patching. “We can do all that for you,” Charrois said. He wasn’t kidding. Considering all the other jobs Mainroad has carried out so far, Martin was expecting a modest patch job on the roof, not a full-on remove-and-replace. “They just showed up today and started working. It’s great,” Martin said. “We are so thankful.” The Critter Care Wildlife Society is currently caring for 16 black orphaned bear cubs including one set of triplets from Anmore,
another set of triplets from Coquitlam, plus numerous singles from communities like Whistler, Sechelt and Hope. On Monday, Dec. 5, the same day the roof renos started, the society launched its annual Christmas Shopping Spree, a fundraiser which runs until Dec. 19. “We have so many beautiful trivets with pictures of our animals,” Martin said. “And coasters that could go with the trivets.” There are also all kinds of clothing from zippered hoodies with paw prints, sweat shirts and sweat pants. As well as Critter Care’s new 2012 calendars and more. The sale runs daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Critter Care, 481 - 216 Street. See video online at www.langleytimes.com.

The roofing crew was provided by Mainroad Infrastructure, the B.C. road builder that has been helping Critter Care with muchneeded renovations and repairs this year. “Just amazing,” said a delighted Gail Martin, the founder of the Langley-based wild animal rescue and rehab society. “It would have taken us ages to fund-raise to get this done. It was badly needed.” It is the latest good deed by Mainroad,which got involved when company general manager Real Charrois walked into Martin’s office earlier this year and asked if there was any work that needed doing. “Boy, do I have jobs for you,” she said. During a walk around the property Martin pointed out several possible projects, expecting Charrois would pick just one. “I told him we needed a little roof over the intern building deck, a new food shed that was rat proof, and he said, ‘yes we can do that,’ [then] he said ‘what else?’”

Challenges ahead
Focus on the problem
T
hree inaugural meetings on Monday marked the beginning of the next three-year term for the three local governments. At the Langley Board of Education and Langley Township council, change is on the horizon. The board has a new chairperson, Wendy Johnson, who is backed by a majority of the board. While that board majority is backed strongly by employee unions and, to a lesser degree, parents’ groups, it has its work cut out for it. The school district still has to pay back an accumulated deficit over three years. It has to abide by conditions set out by the provincial Auditor General. And at the same time, it has to endure an ongoing strike by teachers that seems likely to drag on for much, if not all, of the school year. This prevents parents from knowing how their children are doing in school and will have a dramatic effect on Grade 12 students who are seeking to apply to universities and other postsecondary institutions. Almost all of these issues are far beyond the control of the board, which is much more closely tied to provincial happenings than the two local councils. Langley Township has a new mayor and two new councillors. Mayor Jack Froese has brought a positive and straightforward approach to his office, and it is unlikely that the next term will descend into the personality conflicts that marked much of the past three years. Still. there are many serious issues ahead of council. Among these are labour contracts with employees and tax increases — two closely-connected issues. Both were mentioned in passing Monday by several councillors, and the challenge of keeping property taxes affordable will be a major one for council. Langley City has the most stable government in this community, largely because of strong leadership from Mayor Peter Fassbender, a council that works together well and a clear and workable vision. However, it is affected deeply by regional issues like transportation, and council will also have its hands full keeping taxes at an affordable level. Some of those taxes, which come from regional bodies, cut deep, yet the City’s voice is very muted due to its size. Elected officials will need to demonstrate the wisdom of Solomon as they deal with continuing challenges on behalf of all of us.

s the Conservative government uses its majority powers to effectively silence debate on the Safe Streets and Communities Act, the growing call for measures that would actually make our streets safer continues to fall on deaf ears in Ottawa. Five Vancouver mayors past and present recently joined the chorus — one that includes police chiefs, economists and politicians of all political stripes — to overturn Canada’s marijuana prohibition. “Marijuana prohibition is — without question — a failed policy. It is creating violent, gang-related crime in our communities and fear among our citizens, and adding financial costs for all levels of government at a time when we can least afford them,” stated a letter from former Vancouver mayors Larry Campbell, Michael Harcourt, Sam Sullivan and Phillip Owen. Current Mayor Gregor Robinson has since added his voice to the cause. And the cause is nothing new. Back in 1991, Nobel Prize-winning conservative economist Milton Friedman noted: “If you look at the drug war from a purely economic point of view, the role of the government is to protect the drug cartel.” Canada’s drug kingpins are no doubt relieved that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is in no hurry to end that protection. He was quick to rule out any consideration of changing the government’s stance on marijuana — despite polling that shows the vast majority of Canadians disagree. One need look no further than Canada’s stance on tobacco — a drug most health experts contend is far more dangerous than marijuana. Tobacco use has witnessed a sharp and steady decline over the past 50 years. And this was achieved without building one more prison to house chain smokers, but rather through a commitment to education and regulation. The government can fill the countryside with bigger and better prisons, but until the Conservatives begin to focus on the problem instead of ideology, criminals will only get richer. —Penticton Western News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Carrier learns a lot about life Editor: I am the mother of a 13-yearold newspaper carrier. For the past three years, he has delivered two of our local papers to nearly 100 homes in our area. In many ways, it has been a great experience for him. He has learned a lot about punctuality, work ethic, customer service, problem solving and responsibility. He runs it like a business so he has also learned about budgeting, keeping records and dreaded overhead, as he maintains his delivery wagon at his own expense. It has built his self-esteem, given hm much selfassurance and provides him added fresh air and exercise. My son takes his job seriously. He plans his schedules around his deliveries, making his route the priority. This includes the summer and sick days. He never complains about the weather and has delivered on many very miserable days. He tries hard to make sure the paper is protected from the elements, even using bread bags at times. He never crosses a lawn and makes sure gates are properly closed behind him. I have even seen him quietly shovel a walkway so an elderly customer could get her paper safely. He is always polite and says hello to his customers. Some of the homes he delivers to can present a real challenge getting to the front door, but he takes it on without
complaint. He tries very hard to deliver on time, but it is not always within his control to do so. However, on these days the paper comes first and I know of a few events he has passed on in order to achieve this. My son comes from a single parent, single income home. We live on a tight budget with little room for extras, so the little money he earns delivering papers is spent carefully. One of the things he spends it on is to fund his participation in a local group that supports his future career choice. It requires travel fees and some specialized gear and clothing, all of which he pays for on his own. He is very focused on his future and I am so proud of his efforts and awards. He also uses his money to buy birthday and Christmas presents for his family and friends, to buy the occasional movie ticket or piece of clothing and to make an annual donation to a children’s charity. My son has delivered papers over three Christmases now. The first Christmas, not one of his 90-plus customers remembered him. The next year he received one card with some money. Last year was like the first. My son has never complained about this, but he was very touched by the
card he received. Inside were the words “Thanks for a job well done.” Those words meant more to him than the money, and the card is still on his bulletin board. The reason I am writing is to ask that newspaper customers take the time to consider their carriers this Christmas. Many are just like my son. They are good kids earning their own money and usually they have a good and positive motivation for doing so. The accolades are few, the money earned not much and those who stick it out usually have a good reason for doing so. My son does consider giving up the route at times. but what keeps him going is his focus on his future and how his earnings are helping him achieve it. This is not a child you will see roaming the streets. This is not a child that will burden society now or in the future. This is a good kid on the right path. Just a moment of your time to let him know his work is appreciated goes a long way towards supporting this. We are often so focused on the teens in the news, and we can easily forget the good ones who are quietly doing right. This year, please take the time to think of them too. Name withheld by request
People must be accountable for their actions Editor: Twice in as many weeks, there has been a Langley school lockdown (LSS and Simonds), both related to a person witnessed with a gun on the grounds. There were no charges laid against the perpetrator of the LSS incident, due to the fact it was a toy gun. That no harm was intended is besides the point. Just the public display of such an item actually did pose a threat, and put the public at potential risk and harm. I suggest the actual dollar figures involved
in having all of the emergency response personnel and equipment deployed for the LSS scenario and subsequent paperwork be publicly disclosed.This would make all aware of why our public safety and policing costs are so high.This is in addition to the disruption and stress added to other’s normal activities. If people are not made accountable for their actions, we are going down the wrong path of justice for all. If there is no fine or jail time, the above dollar figure converted to hours
of community services would be my suggestion, if I was in a position of issuing authority. On that note, Kyle Busch, a NASCAR driver, was caught speeding on a public road in Mooresville, N.C. and was given a 45-day suspension to his driver’s licence and a $1,000 fine. He was also ordered to do 30 hours of community services. Catfish Potesta, Langley
Generators need regular servicing to work Editor: After reading your article about generators not working at local schools (The Times, Nov. 24), I felt I should reply. I have more than 20 years experience as a field service tech in the power generation industry (emergency,stand-by and prime power). I’m not surprised at all that the emergency back-up failed when it was The
required to work in an actual emergency. I have personally tested, repaired, inspected and rebuilt thousands of generators up to two megawatts. I have serviced all makes and models,on site, all over the world. I believe I know what I’m talking about. It’s not enough to just have the equipment, but it needs to be tested properly and serviced regularly, by qualified peo-
ple.There is actually a fire code regulation (CSA 282 M-05) which states what is required to meet that said code. I’m positive that not many people know that regulation exists. If you ever need more information, I would be happy to help out. Scott Bellesen, Langley
MATH QUESTIONS Editor: In the wake of the municipal election and the re-election of the incumbent gang of six, I have a question. How does mathematics relate to honesty? A treehouse built by loving parents for a child with health issues is outlawed by the Township because it is three feet too tall and hence deemed a two-storey building. and therefore not allowed. Athenry Development in Willoughby is building a de facto five-storey building (where three stories are the official maximum). It is officially dubbed as three-storey because the two-level above-ground parking does not count. I assume they are officially deemed to be invisible. The most charitable conclusion I can draw is that how you are treated by the Township is based on whom you know. Although I didn’t vote for him, I was impressed by our new mayor’s soft-spoken campaign. I hope he remembers how the gang of incumbents deserted him days before the election, because they thought it was to their advantage. I hope he remembers how they all came running back on election night for the photo-op. I hope our mayor has the wisdom of Solomon, the hide of a rhino, the foresight of an eagle and the fortitude of a helicopter pilot. I also hope that as a retired farmer and police officer, our mayor can see the true mathematics of honesty. Robert Moats, Langley
NO WORK, NO PAY Editor: I attended Monday’s inaugural meeting of Township council. While all the previous councillors were in attendance, conspicuously missing was former mayor Rick Green. We do know that two days after the election, he turned in his keys, his cell phone and other items required to do the job as mayor. We also know that his term ended on Dec. 5. We also know that he did not attend any functions as mayor following his defeat at the hands of Township voters. We also know that the deputy mayor (Councillor Grant Ward) filled in on his behalf. He would have been paid approximately $256 per day for the 16 days left on his term, amounting to approximately $4,096. Now I do not know anyone who does not show up for work who continues to be paid. I trust that the new mayor and council will explain to the people of the Township why ex-mayor Green should be treated any differently than anyone else who does not show up for work. In other words, no work, no pay. Chester Glendenning, Langley

Create memories, not garbage What do bungee jumping, opera tickets and snowboard lessons have in common? They are all great gift ideas that create memories, not garbage. “What are your favourite Christmas memories?” said Lois Jackson, Delta mayor and chair of the Metro Vancouver regional district’s board. Favourite Christmas memories probably involve spending time with friends and family. “We can continue to celebrate different cultural and religious traditions by making gift choices that reduce garbage and help protect the environment,” Jackson said. “This holiday season, you can be a green angel too.” For the fourth year in a row, Metro Vancouver member municipalities, which include the Township and City of Langley, are encouraging residents to have a festive holiday season and be sustainable, or ‘green’ while doing so. Consider that what you purchase will eventually need to be disposed. So, think about buying higher quality, more durable gifts. Or, give experiences rather than gifts. Here are some ideas to help you get started . . . • Choose classic toys that are made locally and can be passed on; • Board games last and can be enjoyed be friends and family during game nights; * One of a kind or handmade accessories for the fashionista in your life; * Organize a family skate; * Host an amazing dinner for all your friends. * Treat someone to a live performance of the theatre, opera or comedy; * Teach a new skill — cooking, snowboarding or whatever you’re good at; * Make a donation in someone’s name to a cause they support, and * Support local businesses in your municipality by buying locally-made items or shopping in your neighbourhood. This Christmas season, Metro Vancouver has created attention-grabbing posters that show ‘unexpected’ examples of people giving gifts of time, experiences or long-lasting gifts. The artwork will appear on websites, in public places such as SkyTrain stations, and as advertisements in some media outlets. Check out the ‘Create memories, not garbage’ video on the home page of the regional district’s website, www.metrovancouver.org. For a direct link to several videos and other resources, visit: http://www.metrovancouver.org/ christmas/Pages/default.aspx. You can send someone a Zero Waste holiday greeting by emailing a free e-card.Watch videos on memorable stories and unique gift ideas. And learn more about the garbage issue.

The Party Goers come to town Venezuelan musical ensemble Los Parranderos will perform on Saturday, Dec. 10 at the Langley Seniors Centre Los Parranderos are giving a free performance at the Langley Seniors Centre, on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 1 p.m. The group’s name is close in meaning to the expression ‘The Party Goers’ and refers to happiness, life and good disposition to enjoy life. Los Parranderos are “happy people with musical homesickness,” said Elizabeth Baena, adding that the singers and musicians “are thrilled to share their rhythms and enthusiasm with Vancouver and its guests.” They sing ‘Aguinaldos’ and ‘Gaitas’ (Venezuelan Christmas carols). Aguinaldos is a derived form of the Spanish “Villancicos”, with lyrics and music adapted to the customs and daily life of each Venezuelan region. gaitas were born of the need of the people from Zulia State, in Venezuela. Aguinaldos and gaitas are usually accompanied by the cuatro, a fourstringed guitar played by Elizabeth Baena, Mari Pighini, Beatriz Garmendia, the tambor (drum) by Richard Villalobos, the chapero (an improvised tambourine) played by Sophie Lavieri, furro or furruco, (a single note bass) played by Patricia Ochoa. The group formed in 1996 when a small circle of friends, all of them Venezuelan immigrants, decided to revive the Venezuelan tradition of going door-to-door singing Christmas carols to their neighbours. That’s how this amateur musical group saw its origins and started playing different rhythms of the Venezuela’s Christmas musical repertoire. Nowadays, the group

Their director is Maria Luces who assumed that role on the strength of her experience in several choirs in Venezuela for more than 18 years. Luces’ dedication and patience is credited for shaping this group of
amateur musicians. Los Parranderos will also perform on Sunday, Dec. 11, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Other performances are at UBC’s St. John’s school, Minoru Senior Centre. As members of the group felt the need to expand its repertoire beyond
Christmas themes, they have included music from the rest of Latin America as well. The idea gave birth to Fusion Latina, Vancouver’s Latin American Choir, with a wider goal of promoting music from all over the Latin America region.

A group of Grade 11 Walnut Grove Students is raising money to build a school in Kenya. The hands-on initiative by the Me to We club will see a group of students travel to the African country in July of 2012 and actually help construct the school. Students Kavita Gill-Temple and Keara Graham outlined their plans in a presentation to school trustees last month. They explained that student volunteers also fight poverty locally, with the Halloween For Hunger campaign. This year, the door-to-door campaign raised 3,066 food items for the Langley food bank, an increase of 1,000 over the previous year. The week of Nov. 18, the Me to We club at WGSS was putting out donation boxes and putting up posters for a drought aware-

TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis is defending the need to keep the Transit Police service even though a big part of the forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job â&#x20AC;&#x201D; enforcing fare payment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; should all but vanish when fare gates and smart cards come to the transit system. The officers who patrol SkyTrain and its stations issued nearly 31,000 tickets last year, mostly for fare evasion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still going to be a need for a police presence on the system,â&#x20AC;?

Take steps toward a safe holiday season Every year, approximately, 2,700 pedestrians are injured when struck by a vehicle. As the holiday season approaches, and both foot and vehicle traffic increases in shopping areas, Langley RCMP are reminding the public that there are simple precautions that can be taken to keep everyone safe. Tips for pedestrians: • Always focus your full attention on what’s happening on the roadway so you can see, hear and respond safely when you’re crossing the street. Removing your headphones and putting away your cell phone or other gadgets can make a difference; • Make eye contact with drivers, so you both see each other; • Always be cautious and pay attention to traffic, because drivers may not always stop or obey traffic signals; • Use designated crossing points and follow pedestrian traffic signs and signals;
• Before stepping off the curb, look left and right for oncoming vehicles, then look left again for vehicles that may be turning onto the roadway from beside or behind you; • Wear bright or light-coloured clothing. When the sun starts setting or in bad weather, wear reflective material on your clothes; • Where there are no sidewalks, always walk on the left side of the road facing traffic. Tips for drivers: • Always yield to pedestrians at intersections; • Be alert and scan left and right for pedestrians when you approach any intersection; • If a vehicle is stopped in front of you or in the lane next to you, they may be yielding for a pedestrian, so be prepared to stop; • Be alert for pedestrians who seem
unsure or who may not be paying attention, as they might dart out or wander onto the road; • Always watch for pedestrians when you’re backing up; • Before you get into your vehicle, make it a habit to walk around it to ensure no small children are behind your vehicle. At pedestrian crosswalks: Flashing pedestrian crosswalk lights are becoming more common across B.C. All pedestrian crosswalks operate the same whether or not they have flashing lights. Drivers are required to stop once someone has entered the crosswalk. The flashing lights help alert drivers that pedestrians are crossing or want to cross the street. The lights do not guarantee that vehicles will stop, so it is important that drivers and pedestrians make eye contact with each other.

RCMP suggest parents post these safety tips somewhere in the home where they can be reviewed with children; • Always walk on the inside edge of the sidewalk away from the road. This way, you’re further away from the traffic; • If there’s no sidewalk, always walk facing traffic so you can see oncoming vehicles and drivers can see you; • Dress to be seen: Bright clothes or clothes with reflective gear make it easier for drivers to see you during the day, night and during bad weather; • Make sure you can hear signs of danger when crossing the street; Take your headphones off until you get to the other side; • Cross only at corners or marked crosswalks. Never jaywalk; • Parked vehicles in a parking lot or on the road can be dangerous. A driver may not see you between parked vehicles, and you may not see them moving. Stop and look left-right-left around the parked vehicle before crossing

WALNUT GROVE
Firefighters escort Santa Dec. 18 A holiday procession with a special guest will be making its way through Walnut Grove on Dec. 18. With help of Aldor Acres, paid on call firefighters from Hall 8 will be escorting Santa on a circuitous route through Walnut Grove on Sunday evening, Dec. 18, from 6 to 8 p.m. The parade, which will include carolling, will start at the fire hall on 208 Street and 96 Avenue and will travel past Gordon Greenwood Elementary, James Kennedy Elementary, Walnut Grove Secondary School, and Walnut Grove Community Centre. It will then go across 88 Avenue, up past Alex Hope Elementary School, and wind back through the neighbourhoods between 212 Street, 214B Street, and 95 Avenue, across 96 Avenue, up Yeomans Crescent, and then through Derby Hills. Walnut Grove firefighters hope neighbours will enjoy the festive event. Donations of non-perishable food items will be accepted.

Long meets minister on infrastructure funding Last week, recently re-elected Township Councillor Bob Long joined more than 100 other municipal leaders in Ottawa for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) annual meetings on Parliament Hill. FCM met with more than 100 MPs, including party leaders and cabinet ministers, to build practical partnership and protect core investments in the Langleys and municipalities across Canada. “As a member of the board of FCM, I found it extremely effective to meet face-to-face with our MPs and discuss ways that we as municipalities can partner with the federal government in addressing our infrastructure needs,” Long said. The week’s most significant achievement was the launch of the federal government’s new infrastructure planning process,
which aims to stop the decline in municipal infrastructure and build the roads, bridges, water and transit systems that support communities, businesses and economic growth. In recent years, Ottawa has worked with Langley and other municipalities to repair aging infrastructure, but 40 per cent of federal-municipal funding is set to expire by 2014. The new, longterm plan promised by the government will protect essential investments and reduce the burden on local property taxpayers in the years ahead. Long said that during a presentation to municipal leaders in Ottawa on Nov. 30, Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, spoke of a clearly laid out timetable by the federal government to take stock of
recent investments in cities and communities, identify where investments need to be made in the future, and
replace soon to expire programs with a new generation of long-term infrastructure investments.
Municipal leaders also received a report about FCM’s meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper which
discussed ways that federal and municipal governments have worked together to fight the recession and

Hospital lottery winner chooses Fort Langley home Global News sports anchor Barry Deley was the grand prize winner of this year’s British Columbia Children’s Hospital Foundation Dream Lottery — and his choice was to move to Fort Langley and take the prize home there, located at Bedford Landing. After learning of his win on Oct. 31, the Deley family faced the choice of five different prize packages. Between multiple prize homes, cash prizes of varying amounts, dream vacations and new cars, Barry Deley selected one of the Headwater estate homes at Bedford Landing. Bedford Landing
is an award-winning master planned community by ParkLane Homes. Located along the waterfront in Fort Langley, it is close to top schools, outdoor recreation, and a rich array of local amenities in downtown Fort Langley. The Headwater Homes Series in Bedford Landing are located directly on the waterfront, with views of Bedford Channel and Brae Island Regional Park. Ranging from 3,900 — 4,200 square feet, these estate homes have been designed for luxurious comfort in everyday, family life. Headwater Series homes have won mul-
tiple awards for their intelligent floorplans and interior design. The Deley family includes Barry, his wife Katherine, and their three children, who were just accepted into the Fort Langley Fine Arts School. His daughters are thrilled, as the move from Port Moody townhome to a fivebedroom estate home means they are now able to add a pet cat to their family. “Our entire family is very excited to move into our new dream home. It really is perfect for us, and I think the new kitty will love it too,” Barry Deley said. The story of his win while live on Global

Automation branches out to new home developments
Controlling your life gets a bit easier With all the talk about “automating your home”, it’s no wonder people who may not be familiar with technology are confused over exactly what this automation stuff is all about. One popular system for home automation is Control4, which is appearing in homes and commercial properties all over the world, from the Aria hotel in Las Vegas to Maddox, a condominium development by Cressey, and Evelyn, a new development by Onni. “Control4 is in-home automation at a semiaffordable price,” says Lee Rente of Encore Security and Automation. “It can control almost everything you can think of.” Control4 can be used to automate lighting, heat, security, sound and television, among other things. Examples Rente gives include lights that can be turned on and off from
separate rooms, a home security system that can be checked from your office, and a thermostat that can start heating your house before you arrive home from vacation. “It’s really up to the owner’s imagination as to what it can do, with a few limitations,” says Rente. “It won’t make your toast for you in the morning!” So why does a home need to be automated? “It makes your life easier,” Rente says. “It’s not just automation for the sake of automation; it’s for your convenience.” It can also be helpful for personal security. Rente cites the case of one of his clients who wanted automation so his wife wouldn’t have to enter a dark house at night. “When you get home ... the lights can turn on for you as soon as you open the door.”
‘It’s like a blank canvas ... you can do whatever you want’
Go big and go home at Keystone in Surrey by Colin Oswin
Much like those old burger commercials, you can have it your way at Keystone in South Surrey. The 42 townhomes in this development from Forge Properties come in eight different configurations, but they are all fairly similar. Some have distinct dining and living rooms, while the rest have large great rooms. Each home at Keystone has three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, and the units range from 1,748 up to 1,794 square feet. But the customization theme comes straight from the developer, which offers a number of upgrade options made specifically for each home. Forge spokesman Cory Saran says home buyers can pick and choose and even make special requests if they don’t see something they’re interested in having. If you like the dining room cabinet on display in one of the show homes, Forge can build you one just like it. The same is true for the computer desk in the study nook – if you want it, it’s yours. “We wanted to have people see the show suite and let them have the show suite,” Saran says. Buyers responded well to the desk unit that was installed in the show home – a simple and functional L-shaped countertop with elevated bookshelves – so Forge made a decision to add it to the upgrade options. Other upgrades include melamine closet organizers, custom TV units and bedside tables. You can move up to a gas range from an electric model and
“
You can imagine the entertaining possibilities if you have guests here,” says Forge Properties spokesman Cory Saran.
even add 3D detailing on bedroom walls that can serve as an extra border around your framed decorations. With Keystone, Saran says Forge is aiming for a big, single-family feel, and this really comes across when you step inside one of the two show homes. The main floor has hardly any walls at all – and with nine-foot ceilings it’s really big and really open. Saran says the layout
provides a lot of freedom for planning your living space. “It’s like a blank canvas really,” he says. “You can do whatever you want.” Engineered hardwood flooring comes standard in the living room. It also features a fireplace. The windows are big and bright, and light comes from all directions because of the open floor plan. Saran says triple-glazed windows facing the street were installed to keep the noise level low, and taking a listen in the show home bears this out. The kitchens come with thick granite countertops, tons of storage, stainless-steel finishings and appliances, undermount sinks and glass tile backsplashes that come in brown or light blue, depending on your home’s colour scheme. But the pièce de resistance in the kitchen has to be the huge island planted right in the middle. The islands have plenty of room for storage, and they have big, one-foot continued on page 2

The homes at Keystone are built for luxury, including an expansive shower in the ensuite bathroom, top, generously sized eating areas, left, and space for a backyard in every home, above.

overhangs, so you can pull up a chair – or five – and eat or just hang out. “I haven’t seen an island of this size in a townhome in our price range,” Saran says. “You can imagine the entertaining possibilities if you have guests here.” The master bedrooms come with a vaulted ceiling in all units. They rise in a simple triangle shape up to roughly 9.5 feet. It looks quite impressive and foreshadows what’s to come in the ensuite bathroom. When you walk into the ensuite you hit
another high point. Pedestal sinks provide an exotic, luxurious feeling – in fact, the whole room does. The bathroom has two of these sinks installed on thick granite in front of a huge mirror that covers the wall. It’s an impressive sight. On the other side of the room, Forge installed a massive stand-up shower. The shower – roughly the size of a medium-sized walk-in closet – comes with 12” by 24” tiles, broken up by a pattern of much smaller tiles near the plumbing fixtures. A glazed window in the shower brings in tons of light, and a half-wall-half-window lets that sunlight flow
through the rest of the room. Another thoughtful feature: the toilet is separated from the rest of the bathroom with a sliding door, to add an extra bit of privacy. As a whole, the master bathroom is a grand sight. It’s impressive and it manages to stay classy. Saran says it’s like having your own spa hidden away in your bedroom. “You don’t really notice it, but then ‘Wow,’” he says. “It really feels like a spa when you walk into your ensuite bathroom.” Downstairs, each home comes standard with double-wide garages, providing easy access for two cars at a time.
Behind the double-wide garages, each unit comes with another bonus room. These rooms can be converted into a home office or gym. One show home at Keystone even has it laid out as a man-cave/home theatre. These bonus rooms lead out onto the patio and into the backyard. Each unit comes with a backyard, but the sizes can vary. Homes at Keystone range from $445,000 up to $510,000, and Forge is currently offering a limited-time promotion: 50 per cent off all upgrades. For more information, visit www. ownkeystone.com or call 604-538-5518.

Training buddies become business partners GARY AHUJA Times Reporter
One is a teacher, while the other is a male model. But while their backgrounds may be different, they share a key trait: a love of working out and fitness. And now, Nate Beveridge and Robert Perovich have joined together to open Hybrid Athletics Inc. in Langley. Beveridge, who grew up in White Rock before moving to Vancouver Island, found his love for fitness while at UBC. A wide receiver with the Thunderbirds and a kinesiology student, he worked on the side as a personal trainer. Beveridge won the Bobby Gaul Award in 2005 — presented to the top male UBC athlete — and signed a free agent deal with the B.C. Lions. But after failing to stick with the CFL club, he chose to focus on his work as a personal trainer. “I always grew up thinking I wanted to teach kids,” Beveridge explained. “I had a personal desire to make a difference in people’s lives and I found my training provided that opportunity for me. “It allowed me to (train) kids, like I would in school, and with adults and athletes and everyday people, really affecting their lives in a positive way.
“It fulfilled that desire that I have.” While working as a director of strength and conditioning at the gym at the North Shore Winter Club, he met Perovich, whose son was playing hockey at the club. Perovich had an athletic background himself — track and field and hockey, particularly — but also did some modeling work. “I was getting ready to do a campaign for a perfume and for me, (Nate) fit the bill for what I was looking for.” Perovich needed to trim some weight and put on some muscle for the job, which was both a print and TV ad. Enjoying their working relationship, they soon became training partners and Perovich wound up working towards getting his certification to train others. Working for the same gym, they decided to branch out and open their own fitness centre. “His knowledge and desire and passion matched mine,” Beveridge said. They took over their current building — which used to be the home of the Langley Gymnastics Foundation — and began renovations in February. The gym space is 5,00 square feet with state of the art equipment, a 30-yard field turf strip, Olympic lifting platforms, bars and plates, Strongman

Robert Perovich (left) and Nate Beveridge have teamed up to open Langley’s Hybrid Athletics Inc. The new gym had its grand opening last Saturday. training equipment and more. Hybrid Athletics can train all ages and all levels, whether it is a person rehabilitating from an injury to high-level individual athletes or even groups or teams. “Fitness isn’t just going to the gym, sweating a little and calling it a day,” reads the gym’s mission
statement. “Being healthy, encompasses the way you eat, think, act and generally live. “Fitness is a way of life and we are excited to have the opportunity to be a part of your journey to reaching your potential.”
In addition to Beveridge and Perovich, Christine Girard, one of Canada’s top female weightlifters, runs classes at the gym, and they have Michelle Fiddler, a coach and nutritional consultant. The gym also offers childminding services.
Slight rise in Fraser Valley real estate sales for November Black Press
November property sales in the Fraser Valley are up slightly compared to last year and didn’t experience the usual month-overmonth seasonal decline, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. The board processed 1,120 sales in November, an increase of three per cent compared to the same month last year, but a decrease of two per cent compared to 1,139 sales in October. In the past decade, the FVREB noted, sales decreased on average by nine per cent from October to November. “Given the time of year, (the) Fraser Valley
is experiencing steady buying activity with notable month-over-month increases in the sale of homes with an attractive price point,” said FVREB president Sukh Sidhu. “For example, townhome sales in central Surrey increased by 20 per cent in one month and in Langley by 43 per cent.” While sales remained stable, Multiple Listing Service inventory decreased from October to November, typical for the time of year. “Even with fewer listings coming on stream, buyers can still take advantage of almost nine months of inventory, which is putting downward pressure on prices in certain areas and property types,” said Sidhu. In November, the benchmark price
of a detached home in the Fraser Valley was $532,086, an increase of 5.4 per cent compared to $504,848 in November 2010 and an increase of 0.3 per cent compared to October. For townhouses, the benchmark price in November was $327,764, an increase of 2.5 per cent compared to the same month last year when it was $319,623 and up 0.7 per cent compared to October.The benchmark price of apartments in November was $238,461, a decrease of 1.6 per cent compared to November 2010 and a decrease of 2.2 per cent compared to October. In Metro Vancouver, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports it
saw “relatively typical” home sale and listing activity last month, with sales declining by 5.9 per cent compared to the same month last year, but increasing by 1.9 per cent compared to last month. “The pace of home listings entering the market eased slightly in November compared to recent month, while sale levels remained fairly normal for this time of year,” said REBGV president Rosario Setticasi.“November activity helped put our market firmly in balanced territory.” Since reaching a peak in June of $630,921, the REBGV said the benchmark price for all residential properties in the region has declined 1.4 per cent.

Rave reviews for McLeod Park GARY AHUJA Times Sports
This past weekend marked the fourth straight year the B.C. Community Football provincial championships were held at McLeod Athletic Park. And the president of that organization sees no reason to change venues. “We are hopefully looking to be there for at least another
10 years,” said Joe Gluska, the president of the B.C. Community Football Association. Currently, they are on a yearto-year contract. And the venue pretty much sells itself. “Geographically, it is great for all our members,” he said, pointing out it is centrally located for all of the participating teams, who come from Vancouver Island, the
Interior, Fraser Valley and the Lower Mainland. “It is pretty much central for all our members. “Plus the venue is outstanding,” he added, saying the upgraded concession is also an advantage. Booking MAP for the championships brought in $1,800 for the weekend, said David Leavers, the Township’s director of recreation, culture and parks division.
Test drives help baseball team fundraise Test driving a vehicle at Preston Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac can help a local baseball team raise money for its trip to Uganda next month. “We thought it would be a great opportunity for the team to raise some money and for people to come in and test drive our vehicles,” explained Leigh Heppner, the Preston program co-ordinator. All that is required is a test drive and answering a few questions. Until Dec. 22, the
Preston car dealership will contribute $25 for each completed test drive to the Langley Baseball All-Stars. The team of 11, 12 and 13-year-olds are going to Uganda next month as part of a Right To Play humanitarian baseball trip. The Ugandan team was denied entry to the United States for the Little League World Series in August, where they would have played Langley, the Canadian Little League champs. Right To Play is covering the costs for
the players to travel to the African country, but the fundraising is to raise money for the parents to chaperone. To book an appointment for a test drive, email lheppner@ prestongm.com or stop by the dealership. ••••• Two local dealerships are offering up to $5,000 cash back as part of the clean vehicle incentive program. The program is part of the clean energy transportation program which gives B.C. residents incentives to
choose from an array of greener transportation options. The local dealerships involved are Langley Toyatotown and Preston Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac. Car buyers will receive up to $5,000 off the pre-tax price as part of a $7.5 million initiative announced recently by the provincial government. Some of the greener options include new battery electric, fuel cell, plug-in hybrid electric or compressed natural gas vehicles.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Staches raise $5,500 A team of Envision Financial employees nearly doubled the amount of money they raised as part of Movember. The team of 19 raised more than $5,500 in donations, compared to $2,257 in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We began with just a few guys and a goal of $500,â&#x20AC;? said Jaydon Boughhen, Envisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Movember team captain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within a few days, moustaches began to sprout out all over the organization and donations came pouring in. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m extremely proud of the impact our facial hair has had for this important cause.â&#x20AC;? Movember has become the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest such fundraising event, raising over $73 million in 2010, with a vision of having a lasting impact on the face of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health. Though moustache season has drawn to a close at Envision and abroad, plans are already in the works to make the2012 campaign, and the mos, even bigger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for men to take an active role in their health,â&#x20AC;? says Envision participant and local Langley resident Brian Bevilacqua, whose father is a prostate cancer survivor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Movember campaign combines the gentlemanly art of fine moustachery with a cause that makes a real difference in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. On behalf of the whole Envision team, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank all of our supporters for their generous donations.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Two Langley chartered accountant students were among eight from around the province who have made the national honour roll. Stefanie Singer (Auditor General of BC) and Alyssa Bacchus (PricewaterhouseCoopers) LLP) both earned the distinction. They were also among 11 Langley CA students who passed the national Uniform Evaluation (UFE), a three-day exam. That list includes: Singer, Bacchus, Terry Cambridge (KPMG LLP), Sean Dedieu (KPMG LLP), Dana Killick (KNV Chartered Accountants LLP), Jasleen Mann (Deloitte & Touche LLP), Kirnjit Rai (Grant Thornton LLP), Mieka Robertson (Grant Thornton LLP), Kyle Thomas, Christopher Troelstra (Grant Thornton LLP) and Paul Van Koll (Deloitte & Touche LLP).

Professional lacrosse makes its return to the Lower Mainland after a seven-year absence on Saturday night. But instead of playing downtown at what is now Rogers Arena, the National Lacrosse League will stage an exhibition game at the Langley Events Centre (Saturday, 7 p.m.) The combatants will be the past two league champions, the Toronto Rock and the Washington Stealth. The Rock won in 2011 and the Stealth in 2010 with both teams beating the other in the finals. And NLL commissioner George Daniel hopes Saturday’s game is just the start of professional lacrosse’s return to the Lower Mainland. “We are real excited about this game,” he said. “Lacrosse is important to B.C. and British Columbia is very important to the National Lacrosse League. “With so many of our players originating from (the Lower Mainland), we are just thrilled to be able to put this event on.” The NLL has teams in Washington, Buffalo, Colorado, Minnesota, Philadelphia, Rochester, and then Canadian teams in Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary. The Vancouver Ravens folded following the 2004 season and
Daniel would love to bring the pro game back to B.C. “We would hope this (game) could be the springboard to bigger and better things,” he said. “(B.C.) is an important market for us and I am hopeful this weekend could potentially give us some momentum.” The LEC seats 5,200 for the exhibition game. Average attendance leaguewide is just under 10,000. As for the notion Langley could possibly house a NLL franchise, Daniel said the LEC’s size, while not ideal, would not be a deterrent. “I don’t think we would rule it out,” he said. “I think there is a business model that can be built around a smaller venue.” “For us, the first thing is to have a quality ownership group, that is first and foremost,” he added. “Secondly, for that ownership to demonstrate they can run a viable business operation, and if that can be done in a smallersized arena, I don’t think we would rule it out; I think we would keep an open mind about it.” The Rock and Stealth are in the midst of their training camps as they gear up for the 2012 NLL season, which begins next month. “It is going to be the highest level of lacrosse you can see,” said Langley’s Garrett Billings, now a Toronto Rock star.

Garrett Billings (#13) goes flying through the air during the Toronto Rock’s championship final against the Washington Stealth last May at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Billings, who is from Langley, is in town on Saturday for a National Lacrosse League exhibition game at the Langley Events Centre. Billings played throughout the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association ranks. Up until last summer, he played with the senior A Langley Thunder, but now lives full-time in Toronto, where he works as a foreign exchange broker.
Billings, who expects to have about 30 friends and family members at the game, hopes for a good turnout. “I just really want B.C. to show their support,” he said. “It is such a great matchup between us and Washington, I
don’t think you could ask for a better game.” “It is going to be fast and a little testy,” he predicted. “There are jobs on the line. We are in training camp and you are going to see guys trying to make an impression on the coaches.”

Verhoeff earns honour
Miranda GATHERCOLE/Langley Times
Langley Knockouts’ Kelsey Neil makes a play with the ball against her Coquitlam opponents during a U15 Coastal Cup game on Sunday at Willoughby Community Park. The Knockouts won 4-0 and face their next Cup game in January.
’Stangs nab awards
A trio of Mustangs Track and Field Club members were honoured last weekend by B.C. Athletics at their annual year-end banquet. Georgia Ellenwood was named the youth female athlete of the year, while Braedon Dolfo was the male disability athlete of the year. And Mustangs coach Kim Chapedlaine received a senior coaching excellence award.
A spectacular weekend on the court has earned Rudy Verhoeff Canada West player of the week honours. Verhoeff had 33 kills, 14 digs and six blocks to lead the Trinity Western Spartans men’s volleyball team to a pair of victories in Kamloops against the Thompson Rivers WolfPack. The Spartans improved to 10-0 and the defending Canadian Interuniversity Sport champions are ranked No. 1 in Canada. Verhoeff, a middle/left-side for the Spartans who won the 2011 CIS championship most valuable player award, sits third in Canada West in kills per set at 3.9, seventh in hitting percentage at 33.5 per cent and 15th in blocks at 0.93 per game.

Rough patch for resurgent Rivermen ••••• After winning seven of their 10 November games — and getting a single point in two of the other three — December did not begin quite as well for the Aldergrove Kodiaks. The junior B hockey club opened the new month with a 4-1 loss to the North Delta Devils at Sungod Arena on Saturday. Thomas Hardy scored his league-leading 19th goal — he also leads the Pacific International Junior Hockey League with 44 points — to open the scoring. ••••• The Okanagan College Coyotes scored four unanswered goals in the final two periods to defeat the visiting Trinity Western University Spartans 6-2 in BCIHL Friday night in Kelowna. The Spartans, despite dressing just 14 skaters for the game, matched the Coyotes early on, but Okanagan’s Chris Glen was a one man wrecking crew as he was able to score his third goal of the period with four seconds remaining in the first period to give the Coyotes a 3-2 lead going
into the first intermission. The line of Matt Chaput,Trevor Beaupre and Brandon Long did all the scoring for the Spartans as they combined for six points, with Chaput and Beaupre scoring goals. Tim Zwiers made 35 saves for Trinity Western. ••••• Trinity Western Spartans’ Lindsay Romkes, Sally Wallick and Nick Welychko all finished with four top-three finishes apiece as the Richmond Rapids hosted FastSwim 2011 at Watermania. All three swimmers won one race with Romkes tops in the 200m butterfly in 2:23.37,Wallick winning the 800m freestyle in 9:40.28 and Welychoko earning first place in the 100m breaststroke in 1:07.37. Trinity Western also had strong performances from Kiely Cunningham, who finished in the top three in three different events — highlighted by second place finishes in the 100m breaststroke in 1:16.77 and the 50m breast in 35.63 — and Rebecca Franklin, whose best race saw her finish fifth in the 50m breast in 41.36.

The Langley Rivermen are off to a tough start to the month of December. The junior A hockey club managed just a single point in three games over the weekend, battling to a 2-1 overtime loss to the Nanaimo Clippers on Sunday afternoon at Nanaimo’s Frank Crane Arena in BCHL action. Langley closed November with five wins in their last six games but that momentum did not carry over as the calendar flipped. Scott Moyer’s third-period power play goal earned Langley the single point. James Barr made 38 saves in the loss. Langley lost a pair of home games at the Langley Events Centre, 6-3 to the Coquitlam Express and 5-2 to the Cowichan Valley Capitals. In both contests, Langley was within a goal after 40 minutes, but could not net the equalizer. Mike Tebbutt had a pair of goals against the Express, while Patrick Martens had the third goal. Mario Puskarich and Darnell Dyck had the Rivermen goals against Cowichan Valley.
