Dump truck driver jailed

14 months for fatal crash

Resident killed in mobile home blaze

TRACY HOLMESBlack Press

The man found guilty of dangerous driving caus-ing death in connection with the head-on crash that killed South Surrey resident Jim Neiss has been sentenced to 14 months in jail.

Glen Edward Theriault learned his fate — which includes a four-year driv-ing ban — Friday after-noon in Surrey Provincial Court.

In imposing the term, Judge Paul Dohm said it had to be enough to “strongly denounce” the driving behaviour that re-sulted in Neiss’ death.

At the same time, he acknowledged that incar-cerating the 65-year-old “will not help him or his family.”

Neiss, 59, died on Jan. 18, 2011 when his SUV was struck head-on by Theriault’s dump truck as Neiss drove east along 16 Avenue en route to his job as a Langley school-bus driver.

Theriault had just crossed a double-yellow line in an effort to pass two vehicles when the collision occurred. The court heard during trial

that Theriault told po-lice the move was “a bad three-second decision.”

In rendering his guilty verdict last November, Dohm described that same decision as “con-scious, deliberate, risky.”

“No reasonable per-son would even consider driving in the manner the accused did in this case,” he said.

Friday, an emotion-al Theriault apologized to the court and Neiss’s wife of 20 years, Brenda Michie.

“There is no words that can ever undo what hap-pened,” he said.

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

A resident and a ser-vice dog died in a fi re which broke out Friday morning in a Walnut Grove mobile home park.

Crews were called to the mobile home in the complex, located at 90 Avenue and 198 Street, just before 10 a.m. on Friday.

The coroner was on scene in the early after-noon. So far, the cause of the blaze isn’t known, but it doesn’t appear to be suspicious, said Langley RCMP.

The Valentine’s Day blaze is the second fatal fi re in Langley in 2014. It is also the fi fth in less than a year and the fourth this winter.

Last April, an elderly man was killed when a fi re broke out in the Elm Building at Langley Lodge in Langley City.

In late November, an elderly woman died in a fi re in a fourplex in a rural area of the Town-ship. It is suspected to have been caused by materials left too close to a space heater.

Meanwhile, faulty wiring was to blame for a Dec. 8 fi re in a Lang-ley City home, where a 64-year-old woman per-ished.

And on Jan. 24, a house fi re in Glen Valley took the life of a two-year-old boy.

Very few takethe bus to work

Langley Township has the smallest percentage of bus commuters in the Greater Vancouver region — just 3.5 per cent of trips to work involve taking the bus.

Langley Times f i le photo

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

If you live in Langley Township, there’s a good chance you commute to work and you get there by driving or ride-sharing rather than taking public transit.

There’s almost no chance you’re taking the bus.

A Township staff analysis of re-cently-released fi gures from the Statistics Canada census in 2011 shows 86 per cent of workers in the Township drive their own vehicles rather than take the bus to work.

Only 3.5 per cent take public tran-sit, the lowest percentage in Metro Vancouver.

The report to council by the com-munity development division calls the fi gures “disturbing” and sug-gests it is the result of “our large land mass and a lack of appropriate and timely public transit options.”

Most Township commuters were traveling to Surrey — 9,510 every work day. The City of Langley is the second most popular destination at 4,405, and Abbotsford third at 2,530.

At the time of the federal census, there were 104,177 people living in the Township.

The federal fi gures show Township

residents were more likely to be working than their counterparts in other Metro Vancouver municipali-ties, thanks to the third-lowest un-employment rate in the region. Only North Vancouver District and Lions Bay reported lower jobless rates.

In 2011, 6.1 per cent of the Town-ship work force was unemployed, compared to the B.C. and Canadian average of 7.8 per cent.

The work force was an educated one, with 84 per cent possessing a high school diploma or better, and 53 per cent having either university degrees, college diplomas or trades certifi cates.

The Township analysis said the largest segment of the Langley la-bour force works in the retail trade (11.5 per cent), followed in order by construction, health care and man-ufacturing.

The 2011 census was the fi rst year that Canadians could legally refuse to fi ll out the detailed “long form” census used to create detailed re-ports about jobs, income, education, citizenship and more.

Critics and some researchers have expressed concern that the results from the new voluntary long form survey will be less accurate.

JEFF NAGELBlack Press

The province’s reluctance to allow com-prehensive road and bridge tolling may spur Metro Vancouver mayors to instead pursue a speedier referendum just on a vehicle levy.

The mayors met Transportation Minister Todd Stone Friday and emerged without any deal but predicted a fl urry of further talks in the weeks ahead to negotiate new funding sources for TransLink expansion.

Mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said mayors still hope to persuade the gov-ernment to back tools like road pricing, a regional sales tax or a share of carbon tax.

But if a vehicle levy is all the province will allow, he said, there’s no sense in de-laying a referendum until mid-2015 — as Stone has offered.

“If ultimately it comes down to going to referendum on a vehicle levy, we could vir-tually have it this fall,” Walton said.

He said a single source that generates relatively little money would force the mayors’ council to use the new revenue strictly to put more buses on the road and shelve efforts to build new rapid transit lines in Surrey and Vancouver.

“It depends on how many funding sourc-es the province allows. If it’s fairly min-imal, the only thing you can do is go for your fi rst priority, which is buses.”

An annual fee on each registered vehicle in Metro would be simple and easy to ap-ply, unlike a complex road pricing system that would take years of study.

Stone wants mayors to hammer out a transit expansion priority list and the tax tools to fund it by the end of June.

The minister said he does not rule out road pricing as a tool if the mayors want to discuss it.

But Stone said it’s the province’s current position that any future tolls generated by provincial bridges and highways —  such as the North Shore bridges, the Alex Fras-er and the Massey Tunnel — should be re-served for their maintenance and replace-ment and not be diverted to TransLink.

“If the mayors want to have a conversa-tion with me about a regional road pricing policy, I’m prepared to have that discussion with them,” Stone said. “I’ve also made clear that up to this point our position is that we’re going to be pretty protective as a province of the revenues generated from provincial assets.”

Revenue from Port Mann Bridge tolls is needed to pay off that project’s debt, he

noted.Stone emphasized any new taxes or tolls

proposed for TransLink must be afford-able, have minimal impact on the region-al economy and draw strictly from Metro Vancouver, not the rest of the province.

Walton said it would be “virtually impos-sible” to develop a workable road pricing system in the region if provincial bridges and highways are excluded, leaving only the TransLink-controlled ones — the Gold-en Ears, Knight Street and Pattullo bridges.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said she believes a road pricing system can be designed that shares the revenue and meets the goals of both the province and TransLink.

She said the province’s proposals to the mayors aren’t perfect but leave room for negotiation.

Mayors may push for referendum on vehicle tax

“From the bottom of my heart, I apologize, for everything.

“I just pray that someday you’ll forgive me.”

Outside court, prior to the sen-tence and after reading her own emotional victim-impact state-ment, Michie told Black Press that she trusted that the judge would make the right decision.

Regardless, “it’s not going to change anything for me,” she said.

“I just came because I want to see it through to the end.”

Michie told the court her life had been forever changed by the death of Neiss, who she de-scribed as her “soulmate.”

“I miss my entire life,” she said.

Prosecutor Winston Sayson had asked Dohm to impose a jail term in the range of 18 to 24 months and a fi ve-year prohi-bition, arguing that as someone who drove for a living, Theriault

“knew better” than to drive as he did that fateful morning.

“The disobedience of the law by Mr. Theriault has caused signifi -

cant grief and harm,” Sayson said.Defence counsel Rishi Gill ar-

gued for a suspended sentence, with a lengthy probation, lengthy driving prohibition and extensive community service.

He noted Theriault was diag-nosed with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the inci-dent and has sought extensive professional help.

“It was not a pattern of be-haviour. It was an extremely wrong decision,” Gill said, de-

scribing Theriault as an “active member of his church, a devoted family man and a devoted friend” who will never drive a commer-cial truck again.

“Jail is not always the answer – and especially in this case. There is nothing constructive that can happen, we say, by sending Mr. Theriault to jail.”

Following sentencing, Theriault hugged wife Rose and son Ezra goodbye, emptied his pockets and was escorted out by the sheriff.

From Page 1

Jim Neiss, a South Surrey resident who drove abus for the Langley school district, was killed on his way to work in January, 2011, when Glen Theriault passed two vehicles on 16 Avenue and hit Neiss’ vehicle head-on. Theriault has been sentenced to 14 months in jail and is prohibited from driving for four years. Neiss’ widow, Brenda Michie said the judge’s decision will not change anything for her.

Well-loved horse enthusiast Melanie Walters died Thursday as a result of injuries received in a training accident at her par-ents’ farm in Langley.

It’s believed Walters was train-ing a two-year-old when it acci-dentally fl ipped onto her. She died during surgery at hospital.

Walters, 37, is survived by two young children, Caden, 7, and Laurel, 8.

Walters’ friend and fellow jumper Laura Balisky started a fundraising page for Walters’ two young children at fundrazr.com. Already, more than $15,000 has been donated.

“The equestrian community has lost a   wonderful woman, amazingly talented horsewom-an and loving mother.

“Melanie’s beautiful spirit and smile would light up the room,” said Balisky in the fundraising comments.  

“She will never be forgotten, her legacy is carried forward by her two children.”

Donations will be held in trust for Laurel and Caden’s educa-tion and future, she said.

Walters was coming off a strong year at Hastings Race Park, where she fi nished in the top 10 in the trainer standings with 15 wins from 58 starts, ac-cording to reports in the Daily Racing Form.

Her main client was her fa-

ther, Dr. Ken Walters, a promi-nent horse owner at Hastings for many years.

“This is a huge loss. She was one of the most sincere peo-ple I’ve ever met, a really great person,” said Carla Robin, vice-chair of the Langley Horse Fed-eration, who watched Walters grow up.

“She was famous in hunt-er jumper. She was a beautiful rider who was highly respect-ed. My girls idolized her,” Rob-in said. “We have lost her too young.”

Jane Tidball of Thunderbird Showpark, where Walters was heavily involved, is creating a memory book full of photos and memories of Walters to give to her two children.

Friend Melissa Lowe (nee Schell) grew up with Walters and competed with her.

“She touched a lot of lives and inspired a lot of riders,” said Lowe.

“I was blessed to have her as a friend. My heart is breaking for her two beautiful children.”

Weight loss goals include a variety of reasons, such as improved health and appearance, and what you eat is central to achieving those goals. A little guidance

here can go a long way. Once again, the DASH diet is the overall winner (and, the winner in the diabetes category), while the Ornish diet was deemed best for heart health. For weight loss, Weight Watchers comes out on top. Avoid the fads: Paleo and Dukan tied for last place!

The Mediterranean Diet (a plant-based diet, very similar to the DASH diet) has demonstrated a reduction in heart attack, stroke and premature death. Obviously, the most benefi ts are reaped the earlier in life you start, but a recent study has found that starting midlife is good too. And, those benefi ts include reduced cholesterol, weight loss, improved rheumatoid arthritis and lower risk of Alzheimer’s and some cancers.

Concerned about developing type 2 diabetes? Then, take another look at the Mediterranean Diet. A study out of Spain is reporting that this diet, supplemented with extra virgin olive oil, can reduce

the risk of type 2 diabetes in adults who are also at risk for cardiovascular disease by about one-third, compared with low-fat diets. This is excellent news since the Mediterranean Diet is so palatable and sustainable.

One of the keys to managing your nutrition is knowing how to read food labels. When checking them, focus on these fi ve points: 1) Note the portion size. 2) Look at the fats; look for low saturated fats and avoid trans and hydrogenated fats. 3) Watch the salt; a good rule of thumb is that sodium mg should be the same or less than the calories per serving. 4) Up the fi bre; a minimum of 5 grams per serving. 5) Down with sugar – and learn the tricky names it masquerades as.

Swift public reaction to an $80 parking ticket given to the parent of a four-year-old ad-mitted to Langley Memorial Hospital’s emergency department has resulted in the ticket being waived.

LMH emergency parking ticket waivedMONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

Fraser Health Authority plans to waive the $80 parking ticket Langley resident Su VanderHorst received after rushing her four-year-old son into emergency with a serious head injury at Langley Memorial Hospital recently.

“Clearly here we have extenuating cir-cumstances and we don’t want to cause any further hardship and would like to waive the ticket,” said FHA spokesperson Tasleem Juma.

VanderHorst wrote in a letter to The Times that she took her four-year-old son to LMH emergency after he tripped and banged his head on some school bleachers, resulting in a concussion and a gash on his forehead.

When she had arrived at the ER, the boy was still vomiting, bleeding, and in obvious pain. He was immediately brought in to see doctors.

Numerous stitches and a couple of hours later, she returned to her vehicle, to fi nd an $80 parking ticket.

VanderHorst’s letter has struck a chord with readers, garnering more than two dozen comments from people who shared similar stories or those who found it appalling that those in emer-gency situations have to worry about paying for parking. Some believe there shouldn’t be paid parking at emergency.

Fraser Health notes that people in sim-ilar circumstances should reach out to them.

“We are here to help. Our goal is not to make things more diffi cult,” Juma said.

VanderHorst didn’t know her letter had hit home with people. She said she had paid the ticket right away because she was told by many people there wasn’t a point in fi ghting it. She is now in touch with FHA about reversing that payment.

There are other circumstances in which it may benefi t people to speak with hospital administration about

parking. If people are making frequent visits to a patient or are receiving long-term treatments and need to park at the hospital often, there are parking passes that can be purchased at a reduced rate. There are also senior rates, Juma said.

Parking fees go to the maintenance of the lot at LMH but mainly back into gen-eral revenue at Fraser Health. Looking at how to better handle parking at emer-gency is an ongoing effort.

At some hospitals they have pay by

phone and that might be something considered at LMH.

“We do have to make sure whatever changes take place are cost-effective,” said Juma.

Paid parking at hospitals has been a hot topic in communities around Langley. Last November, protests went on outside Ridge Meadows Hospital. In Delta, council passed a bylaw, banning paid parking at that hospital. The mayor stated a patient’s health is improved by visitors.

Pilot, fi lm producer and author, as well as noted biologist, conservationist, and publisher, David Hancock will be guest speaker of the Derby Reach Brae Island Parks Association at the Fort Langley Com-munity Hall on Friday, Feb. 21 at 7:30 p.m.

Hancock is well known as the origina-tor of the Eagle Nest Cams, and will be delivering a Power Point presentation on “The Wondrous Return of the Bald Ea-gle.” With a distinguished track record of

more than 50 years of teaching and lec-turing about wildlife and wildlife habi-tat, Hancock has found new acclaim and exponentially larger audiences bringing the domestic lives of eagles right into the homes of viewers.

With a healthy presence of eagles in the lower reaches of the Fraser River, these magnifi cent birds are frequent-ly spotted while walking the river trails through Derby Reach and Brae Island Re-

gional Parks. Soaring in the skies, hunt-ing along the river, calling to a mate or guarding a nest, the eagles are resident year round and spectacular to watch. Find out where a prominent eagle nest can be spotted from the trails in Derby —from a respectful distance, of course.

This is a free event, hosted by the as-sociation, and is open to the public. Han-cock’s presentation will be preceded by a short annual general meeting.

A major east-west route in South Langley was closed for about 12 hours on Friday, as the result of a truck crash.

In addition to the road closure, there was a minor spill of fuel into the Little Campbell River. The crash took place

near the river, between 200 and 208 Streets, in an area where the road winds down a hill.

Will Canadian athletes win more Olympic medals at Sochi than at the 2010 Vancouver Games?

Are you hopeful that Langley will get better transit service soon??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

Fire safety is on the minds of many Langley residents these days, with word of yet another fi re death on Friday. This is the fi fth death in a house fi re in the past 10 months. Three of these were in Langley Township, and two in

Langley City.This is an unusually high number of fi re fatalities, which

over the years have been declining, due to fewer people smoking, better fi re safety measures in new buildings and widespread use of smoke alarms.

Several of these fi res came within structures which are not up to the latest building standards. A fi re in Glen Val-ley which took the life of a two-year-old boy occurred in an older wood frame home, and the latest fi re death broke out in a mobile home, which burns very quickly once a fi re begins.

No matter whether a home is up to the latest standards or not, every home dweller can take the most important fi re safety measure within their home. That is to ensure that there are suffi cient smoke alarms — and that they are working. It is also important that at least one of those smoke alarms be battery-powered, because if a fi re cuts the elec-tricity supply, and all smoke alarms are connected to the home’s wiring, they won’t work at the most crucial time.

This is equally true when there is a power outage, and sometimes power outages lead to people heating and cooking by unconventional methods.

It is also important to have an escape plan and to go over it with children. This is done regularly in schools and busi-nesses, and it is equally important in homes.

Other fi re safety ideas include having a fi re extinguisher in the home. These are important to deal with certain types of small fi res (often cooking-related), which cannot be ex-tinguished with water. Prompt use of a fi re extinguisher can often put out these fi res with minimal damage.

Some basic actions on the part of all who live in their own homes, which include suites and trailers, can prevent future tragedies.

It’s always satisfying to watch as municipal governments stand up to federal government policies.

While it is usually a David versus Goliath scenario, it’s still encouraging to watch our

most local of representatives battle the omnipresent, highest level of Canadian politicians.

Case in point, Nelson’s offi cial opposition to the recent decision by Canada Post to phase out home delivery.

In December, it was announced that within fi ve years, all door-to-door mail delivery service will be eliminated in fa-vour of community mailboxes located throughout the city.

Nelson city council is standing, united, against that pol-icy and has sent a letter opposing the plan and voicing its concerns.

It will in all likelihood fall on deaf ears — even council knows that — but at least the message was sent. It is one of the ongoing problems with creating policy for a country as vast as Canada.

Decision makers in Ottawa can’t possibly have a full grasp of how their policies will impact smaller rural com-munities in Saskatchewan, or the Yukon, or even the Koo-tenays.

Having a community mailbox might be fi ne in down-town Toronto where there is likely one every block. But throughout the winter months, what senior wants to walk, or drive, in the snowy, below freezing conditions of this more sparsely populated area?

Municipal governments may be thought of as the entity that hikes property taxes, plows roads and attends grand openings, however it also has to be our voice — that an-noying squeak in the background that shouts “what about us?” while the federal government goes about running the entire country.

We applaud council for taking a stand and speaking out for its citizens.

They may be ignored, but it’s better to be ignored for squeaking than for remaining silent.

— Nelson Star

No good reason tosupport a car tax

Talks on Friday between Trans-portation Minister Todd Stone and Lower Mainland mayors about transit seemed to offer some hope of a way out of the transportation funding dilemma.

Mayors have been highly critical of Stone and the provincial gov-ernment, stating that a proposed referendum is confusing and that no priorities were apparent. After a war of words escalated, Stone of-fered to give mayors more control over TransLink’s budget — a major point. He also backed off on insisting that a ref-erendum on new funding options be held in conjunction with this fall’s municipal elections.

Some mayors are sounding a little more conciliatory, but one suggestion made by the chair of the Mayors’ Council on TransLink, Richard Walton, needs to be watched like a hawk.

Walton suggested Friday that perhaps a referendum could be held this fall, simply calling for a car tax on all Lower Mainland vehicle owners. The funds would go solely to expanding bus service.

TransLink already has power, under the legislation incorporating it, to implement a universal car tax. It was set to go down that path in its fi rst few years of existence, in the late 1990s, when drivers revolted.

Many of those who fought the hardest came from Langley and Surrey, and oth-er areas which were poorly-served by the bus system. They complained, quite rightly in my view, that they would be paying additional taxes to provide more

buses to people in other areas, and they would get no benefi t from the car tax.

Fast forward 15 years. Surrey and Langley have grown dramatically. The bus service is marginally bet-ter than it was — there is the new 555 bus to the Braid Station from Carvolth Park and Ride, and con-necting routes to SkyTrain like the 502 and 501 are heavily-used.

But Surrey residents still have no bus over the Port Mann Bridge

to SkyTrain, despite a promise to that ef-fect when the new bridge was announced. Areas such as Willoughby have little or no transit service. And there are no plans to increase transit service in this area.

Nor is there any movement to expand rapid transit beyond Whalley. So if there was a car tax, the benefi ts would most-ly fl ow to Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond and New Westminster residents, who are already very well-served with both rapid transit and bus service.

There is no good reason for anyone in Langley to vote “yes” to a car tax. The few who rely exclusively on buses won’t get much more in the way of service. The vast majority of people here own and operate cars (at a cost of about $10,000 per vehicle per year) in order to travel to work, shop-ping and school. They are not getting a break on tolls. In fact they must pay tolls to cross the river, unless they travel long distances to avoid them.

While a car tax might offer a quick fi x for some mayors and for TransLink, it would be of no benefi t to people here.

‘Before I Die’ wall explainedEditor: Re: Before I Die wall, (The Times, Feb. 4).Words cannot express how disappointed and sur-

prised I am that the “Before I Die” wall project I pro-posed for Langley City was turned down by council.

My wife Donalda and I fi rst came across such a wall in Mount Vernon, Washington. It immediately struck me as a marvellous idea. It was covered with the hopes, dreams and aspirations of ordinary people.

I had no idea at the time that it was, quite literally, a worldwide project. On Google, there are pictures of walls in about 600 cities all around the world. I thought we really need to become part of this global communi-ty, and have one of these in Langley City. (Incidentally, every city that sends a picture of their wall, and infor-mation about their city, gets a web page on their site).

“Before I Die” is a global art project that invites peo-ple to refl ect on their lives and personal aspirations in public space. The project was started by Candy Chang on an abandoned house in New Orleans, after she lost someone she loved. There is a video of her story on Google. I urge readers to look at it.

The timing of the article in The Times was quite coin-cidental. Just a few earlier, in the Super Bowl pre-game, the Seahawks players were shown writing on a wall in their dressing room which was patterned after the “Beore I Die” wall.

I realize that newspaper articles are not always com-pletely accurate, but several comments attributed to council members stuck out. One was the word “messy.” Of course the walls are messy. They are people writing with chalk. One message I saw in Mount Vernon was “I

want to walk on the moon”. Does it really matter that the writing was “messy?”

Another reported comment was that the idea seemed “morbid.” That took me by surprise. The messages vary from humourous to uplifting to inspirational. There is nothing at all morbid about the project. Another con-cern mentioned was that the wall would become a place for graffi ti. I would have thought so too — until I spoke to the people in Mount Vernon. There has been none at all. Nor have I seen any reports of the problem from anywhere around the world. Nor has there been a problem with “nasty” things being written (of course, they are easily erased at any rate).

One last comment about this project. It will likely be far and away the most inexpensive art project the City has ever undertaken. All the City needs to do is clad one wall with about six sheets of plywood (24 feet).

The only other materials are the “wall kit” (look at “build your own wall” on the website). They supply ma-terials — notably the stencil — at cost, one or two cans of blackboard paint and a couple of cans of white spray paint. Other than erecting the plywood, I will attend to obtaining all the other materials and completing the wall myself. If erected, I have no doubt it will also be the most-visited and talked-about art project in the City.

When I read it was turned down, I fi rst considered ap-proaching the Township about erecting one, perhaps in Fort Langley. But the City is where it really belongs.

I would like the City to take a second look at this idea.BARRY WHAITES,

LANGLEY

Meters make her sick Follow the rulesEditor: When BC Hydro installed nine smart meters beside

our home in June of 2012, I became very ill. The radiation from these meters affects my balance, my speech, and has even deformed my nails.

We have taken steps to prevent the radiation from entering our home, but if our analogue meter is replaced with a smart meter it would increase electromagnetic fi elds in our home, which would make me very ill.

BC Hydro is charging us an extra $35 a month to read our analogue meter, but it is read only every other month. Some-times our usage is only estimated and no reading is done at all.

They claim this monthly fee is for meter reader wages, truck expenses, gas, etc. They still come to read the nine smart meters, but will not read my meter at that time, even though they are standing right in front of it. They have moved the reading of my meter to alternating months to attempt to justify this outrageous fee.

How can our government justify engaging in such uneth-ical practices? When did we lose our right to live free from harm in our own homes? One issue at a time, we are being led silently into oppression.

CHRISTINE WIKSTROM,LANGLEY

Editor: Are we living in a de-mocracy, or a third world dic-tatorship, where a well-heeled developer, aided by a smooth team of advisors, can con-vince most of our council to defy its own bylaws?

The Coulter Berry proposal, version one or two, ignores the Fort Langley Community Plan and the Heritage Conservation provisions which are there to protect the heritage atmo-sphere of our village for resi-dents, businesses and visitors.

The recent Supreme Court decision pointed out the error of the council’s ways, but in-stead of doing the right thing by enforcing compliance with the guidelines, council is now going to appeal the court de-cision that ruled its actions illegal.

It will spend an even greater amount of taxpayers’ money on litigation. It takes a coura-geous person to admit one’s mistakes and honestly work to correct them, but this does not seem to be council’s inten-tion at the moment.

Sometime down the road, we may decide to revisit the Fort Langley Community Plan to discuss possible changes. This would entail extensive public consultation with a number of interest groups.

Until that happens, this pro-posal should not go forward. The question is not whether we prefer Coulter Berry one or two, but do we support de-mocracy and the principles of due process?

Vision for futureEditor: Over the last few months, I have been involved in a vi-

sion meeting for Langley School District, with a wonderful core group of teachers, principals, students and parents. This process is meant to get the “Good Stuff” the school district has to offer and make it better, growing with the technological times and ways of the world. I have been very inspired by this process, knowing that Langley is thinking ahead and identifying that some things need to change in our education system. I wanted to share my experiences with you.

The new vision statement is: “Langley School District is an in-novative, inspiring and unifi ed learning community.” The goal is to become all of these things. The process was to identify all the things that we want to grow towards.

It was amazing to hear and see, through all of the people in-volved, that we have a lot of the same core values and ideas. We seemed to all be in agreement that it takes a community to grow strong leaders for the future. We pictured that all types of com-munity members could come together into the school systems and teach their passions.

When kids are introduced to someone with a great passion for what they do, they in turn become passionate about learning the subjects. There was talk about the core curriculum and how we need to be able to teach students to put their knowledge into real life experiences. Teachers also expressed that we need to allow for more time freedoms to be able to focus on learning, as opposed to teaching.

I encourage parents and students to visit the district web-site to learn more about what Langley is doing to grow to-wards the 21st century.

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

Langley Township is consider-ing installing 12 temporary on-street parking stalls to address a shortage of spaces in South Yorkson.

The suggestion is contained in a Feb. 3 staff report to council that says, if approved, the spots would be located at the corner of 212 Street and 80 Avenue at a cost of $50,000.

It would only be temporary, the report warned, because the area “is part of a future road re-alignment.”

The report goes on to insist that the “parking supply in the neighbourhood is consistent with the requirements of the zoning bylaw” but admits there is additional demand for park-ing because some houses have secondary suites.

“Staff will be undertaking a review of best practices and al-ternatives to address this con-cern,” says the memo from the Township engineering division.

Some homeowners have sug-

gested introducing “residents only” parking or time-limited parking, but both options were rejected by the report.

“The Township does not have the permitting process, the ad-ministrative, or enforcement structure necessary to imple-ment such a program” the re-port said.

The parking problem in South Yorkson has become severe be-cause about 150 roadside park-ing spaces on three different streets designated as major “arterial” roads were recently eliminated by the Township, in-cluding spaces along the four-lane-wide stretch of 80 avenue.

Over the holidays, follow-ing complaints from residents about a shortage of available parking, Township council agreed to allow vehicles in the no-parking areas of 80 Avenue so visitors would not be forced to park several blocks away.

But now the ban is back.When the issue came up at a

January council meeting, Coun-cillor Charlie Fox said while he

is sympathetic to the residents’ struggle to fi nd enough parking paces, there is a potential legal problem with lifting the parking regulations.

That’s because the residents all signed a legally binding cov-enant when they bought their houses that specifi es no park-ing on 80 Avenue or 212 Street.

Overriding that restriction could open up a “huge Pando-ra’s box,” Fox warned.

“There’s some due diligence that needs to be done before we walk into this hornet’s nest,” Fox said.

Councillor Kim Richter said Township regulations don’t re-quire enough parking in new residential developments like South Yorkson.

“They are living in a night-mare and they have come to us for help,” said Richter, who went on to call it a “nightmare we [council] have created.”

Richter has served notice she will be asking the rest of council to support the 12 new parking spots proposed in the report.

Police say they have arrested one of Langley’s most prolifi c property offenders.

Robin Allan William Hibbs, 47, of Langley, was wanted on three

counts of breach of recogni-zance relating to a break-in on July 17, 2013 at Ricky’s Restau-rant in the 22300 block of Fraser Highway.

Langley RCMP put out an ar-rest warrant for Hibbs in the beginning of January after he breached three of his release conditions.

With spring just around the corner, now is the perfect time to think about renovating your home.

In the blink of an eye, the warmer weather will be here, which will make it more en-ticing to work outside in the garden, instead of on any interior improve-ment projects for your abode.

And what better place to start than the one spot you probably do most of your entertaining – the kitchen. After all, the kitchen is the hub of the household; it’s where we spend the most time with family and guests.

For those looking to give their kitchen a fresh face lift for spring without breaking the bank, Cowry Kitchens in Langley has everything you need to make your home reno-vation dreams a reality.

The store, located at 19638 Fraser Highway, is celebrating eight years in business this month of providing the best quality kitchen and bathroom

cabinets at the best prices in town.

Affordable prices, the highest quality products and excellent customer service is what puts Cow-

ry Kitchen on the map and in the heart of every customer who walks through the front door.

“It’s all about building relation-ships with the community and our customers,” said Cindy Zhu, a man-ager at Cowry Kitchen and former mechanical engineer from China who is passionate about helping oth-ers create and design the kitchen of their dreams.

“I love what I do -- there’s no better feeling than when the job is done and the customer calls to tell me they are very happy with their kitchen. It’s not just exciting for our clients, it’s also thrilling for us!”

With the recent dip in housing prices, many homeowners are choosing to create their dream home out of what they already have rather than

...there’s no better feeling than when the job is done & the customer calls to tell me they are very happy...

“The market has really changed out there so we see a lot of customers who are putting off selling and creating the kitchen of their dreams,” said Zhu.

While a ‘new’ kitchen can seem like an over-whelming and costly project, it doesn’t have to be the case, she notes.

“The entire look can be changed with some-thing as simple as new countertops or kitchen cabinets –really, the sky is the limit, depending on your budget.”

Zhu encourages anyone ready to update their kitchen to stop by the Langley showrooms today and speak to one of Cowry’s experienced design-ers for fi rst-rate advice on your fall kitchen proj-ect. Once you have chosen your product, Cowry will then arrange for a quick delivery and profes-sional installation to keep your project running on time. They keep a huge inventory of stock in their warehouse to ensure your products are ready to go as soon as you place an order. All of their kitchen

cabinets ship out within three business days.

Unsure of where to get started? Cowry’s expert kitchen designers will help you cook up some general ideas with the help of 3-D design software for use of space, location of appliances and storage priorities at no cost.

“All we need is your measurements and colour scheme — we can do the rest!” said Zhu. “We can design the whole thing when you come see us in-side.”

Zhu is also happy to swing by your home to give homeowners some ideas and an estimate.

“I was just out in Aldergrove yesterday after work to chat with a client about their vision,” she said. “We decided on what kind of countertop would best go with their white shaker cabinets from us. The one we chose is going to look stun-ning when paired with their fl ooring, walls and cabinets.”

To celebrate 8 years in business, Cowry Kitch-ens is taking 20 per cent off all solid wood cabinets until March 18, 2014.

LET’S STAND AGAINST BULLYINGTOGETHER

LEARN THE Early Warning Signs of Bullying!

CelebrateDiversity

Children grow and develop their personalities in various ways. While many youngsters are teased or receive some good-natured ribbing at some point in their school careers, some teasing can eventually turn into bullying.

The National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Furthermore, more than 70 percent of students report incidents of bullying at their schools. Although children in lower grades have reported being in more fi ghts than those in higher grades, there is a higher rate of violent crimes in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. According to the association Make Beats Not Beat Downs, harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents.

Bullying can take many forms, and learning the warning signs as a parent can help prevent harassment and potentially dangerous situations.

Verbal: If your child reports being called names, being the recipient of racist, sexist or homophobic jokes, or being spoken to in an offensive or suggestive way, this can be a form of verbal bullying.

Cyber: Social media, email and text messaging has become a way for bullies to spread malicious messages or photos. In the era of digital media, this type of bullying has increased considerably.

Physical: Some bullies engage in physical attacks, including hitting, kicking, spitting, or other forms of physical confrontation. Destroying personal property

also is considered physical bullying.

Indirect: Gossiping and spreading nasty rumors about a person is another form of

bullying. This type of bullying may go hand-in-hand with cyber bullying.

Signs your child is being bullied:

Parents can recognize certain signs that their child is being bullied at school.

Bullied children frequently make excuses to avoid going to school. While the desire to stay home is something many children may express, those who are bullied may do so much more frequently. Bullied children tend to avoid certain places and may be sad, angry, withdrawn, or depressed. They may have trouble sleeping or experience changes in appetite, and bullied youngsters' academic performance may suffer. Also, parents may notice that children return from school missing some of their belongings.

Signs your child is the bully:

Parents may not want to imagine their children bullying other students, but bullies do exist. Children who bully other kids have strong needs for power and negative dominance. They may fi nd satisfaction in causing suffering to others. Some signs that your child may be a bully include:

• Easily becoming violent with others

• Having friends who bully others

• Blaming others quickly

• Comes home with belongings that do not belong to him or her

• Getting in trouble with teachers or school administrators

• Picking on siblings

• Not accepting responsibility for actions

There are ways parents can teach their children to act properly when faced with a bully. First, parents should explain that bullying is not the child's fault and he or she does not deserve to be picked on. Next, parents can let children know that being assertive but not violent with bullies may diffuse the situation, as some bullies thrive on the fear of their victims. If the bullying behavior continues, the student should speak to an adult or authority fi gure.

Parents of bullies may need to be especially mindful of their children's behavior. Counseling could be necessary to determine what is compelling kids to bully other students.

Th e twenty-seventh BC Seniors Games will be held in Langley from September 9 to 13, 2014. Th e motto of the Games is “Everyone Wins’ and the organizers of the Langley Games are working to make sure that ‘ every-one’ includes not only the thousands of competitors but the volunteers and the fans as well.

Th e BC Seniors Games is an annual multi-sport com-petition celebrating active, healthy seniors 55+. Th e Langley 2014 BC Seniors Games Society is the Host Society responsible for planning and delivering the Games led by a Volunteer Board of Directors.

Milt Kruger and Michael Jackstien are the President and Vice-President of the Langley 2014 BC Seniors Games. “We are very proud that Langley was selected as the site for this year’s Games,” says Milt. “We are have already been working hard to build our organizing team, set up our offi ces and get open for business.”

Milt was appointed in March 2013 and he is one of the people who has benefi ted from being part of the previous competitions held in his community. “ Back in 2010, Langley hosted the BC Summer Games for young people, and I played a minor role for those games,” says Milt. “I enjoy a challenge and when the nominating committee approached me to assume the President’s role, I accepted the challenge.”

“ Langley hosted the Special Olympics in 2013, and many of our directors gained a lot of experience vol-

unteering at those major events. We have a great depth and breadth of experience on our team, and I thor-oughly enjoy meeting new people, working with them and fi nding out who they are and what they bring.”

Michael Jackstien is a veteran of the organization of ma-jor events. In 2010 he was the Vice Chair of Langley’s Spirit of B.C. Committee during the 2010 Olympics. He was Chair of the 2010 BC Summer Games and in 2013 he was Vice Chair of the BC Special Olympics Summer Games, all those events being held here in Langley.

Michael knows that the Langley community will always get behind these events. “I took on this position know-ing that our Langley Communities always step up to the plate when a call goes out for volunteers or spon-sors. I know that we will get the support these Games require, we’re not doing this alone and it’s a great op-portunity to give back to the Community.

“We will need several more volunteers now to help during the lead up to the games, as well as hundreds of volunteers as we get closer to the actual events,” Michael. “ We are expecting over 4000,athletes from around the Province and we will need over 2000 vol-unteers to manage the event. Th ese volunteers will be required in virtually every aspect of delivery of the Games – areas such as medical, security, visitor hosts, accreditation, registration and results, and much more.

Right now, games awareness is what we are striving for. Langley always comes through so we are not worried about fi nding volunteers.”

Th e Board of Directors also bring with them years of event planning experience in the community:

Administration - Gordon Zacher; Ceremonies - Su-san Magnuson; Communications - Rob Gjertsen; Friends of the Games - Anton Donkers; Medical Ser-vices - Marlyn Graziano; Protocol - Howie Vickberg; Registration and Results - John Jones; Security - Gary Bass; Special Events - Carly Davis; Sport - Tom Watson; Transportation John Cameron; Volunteer Registration - Johanne

Hosting the Games can been an economic boost, with an estimated $2.6 million in economic activity by the participating seniors. Langley City and the Township decided on a joint bid for the 2014 Games. In 2010 and 2013, the Township alone hosted the B.C. Summer Games and the Special Olympics while in 2000, the City hosted the B.C. Disability Games.”It was the right time for the communities to bid together,” said Kim Hilton, director of recreation, culture and community services for the City.”

Langley City MLA and Minister for the Environment agrees that the Langleys have so much to off er both in

In addition to the boost to the local economy the legacy of the games will benefi t many local sport-ing groups. “Much of the sporting equipment that needs to be purchased for the events will be left behind for use in Lang-ley’s venues or to be used by local sports groups.” Milt explains.”In addi-tion, there is an incentive for us to be fi scally re-sponsible as 50% of any budget surplus for the

Games remains with the host communities.”

When asked why Lang-ley has been successful in bidding for these major events over the past few years, Michael explains that there are a number of reasons. “ We have a great track record for producing great events. Certainly, our venues are second to none in the Province and we receive high praise from those coming here to compete.

We are utilizing parks and recreation facilities throughout both Langley City and township and Fort Langley is the venue for the dragon boat com-petition. Th e only facility we are using outside of Langley is the horseshoe pits in Cloverdale.”

So far, the women have dominated — with two fe-male singers and a dancer taking top spot in the fi rst three years of Langley Has Talent — but will this be the year that a man emerg-es victorious at the fi nals of the annual competition?

It’s anyone’s guess, said the contest’s founder Pe-ter Luongo, who this past weekend fi nished audi-tioning candidates for the fourth annual talent show, which opens on March 29.

It took a lot of discussion and a few serious disagree-ments, but a trio of judg-es managed to winnow 60 candidates down to 25 con-testants who will take the stage at Christian Life As-

sembly next month.Although the number of

acts who auditioned this winter is down from previ-ous years, the bar contin-ues to be raised, said Luon-go.

“What’s consistent ev-ery year is that the quality (of the performances) has gone up.”

Though the judges had planned to cap the number of competitors at 24, they couldn’t agree on who to leave out.

In the end, judges Luon-go, his daughter, Lisa Luon-go Smith and talent agent Jolene Moore, were able to settle on a range of acts to perform at the semi-fi nals.

Of those, he said, 19 were ‘no-brainers,’ while anoth-er group of 15 sat on the

bubble and created plenty of back and forth among the judges.

“We were agonizing over who to take and not to take.”

Among the 25 acts who will compete for cash and industry prizes are eight solo vocalists (including one rapper) seven duets, one instrumental perform-er, a band and a trio and fi ve physical acts — includ-ing dancers, gymnasts and a unicyclist.

The annual Langley Has Talent competition is once again presented by the four Rotary Clubs of Langley.

One of its main goals is to draw attention to the need for a dedicated perform-ing arts centre in Langley — something a task force,

including representatives from the City, the Town-ship, the school district and both of Langley’s universi-ties has been formed to do.

This year, Langley Has Talent is also working with the Langley school district, offering every elementary and middle school student in the district free admis-sion to the shows, as long as they are accompanied by a parent with a paid ticket.

Semi-fi nal competition will be held at Christian Life Assembly, 21277 56 Ave., on Saturday, March 29. The fi nals will take place two weeks later, on April 12.

Both events begin at 6 p.m.

Opera may not be her fi rst love, but it was a stunning perfor-mance of Puccini’s O Mia Babbino Caro that earned a Langley singer fi rst place in last year’s Langley Has Talent competition.

And it has been opening doors for her ever since.

As the winner of the third an-nual LHT contest, held last spring, 30-year-old Kari Culjat earned a $2,500 cash prize as well as stu-dio time to record her music.

And, over the past months, the Langley woman has been practis-ing several new pieces for a CD.

It’s been a nice change of pace, she said.

“I’ve enjoyed learning new songs,” said Culjat, whose prize-winning voice is entirely untrained.

Although she listens to and sings a range of musical styles, it is opera that comes most natural-ly to her.

“Opera kind of chose me. “I actually sing everything,” she

said.Truthfully she’s not even a

huge fan of the style. But, at nine, she saw Phantom of the Opera and “fell in love with those specifi c songs.”

“My mom is a huge opera fan. I grew up listening to it.

“I don’t listen to opera for en-joyment — only when I’m learn-ing a song,” she said.

Culjat has never taken a sing-ing lesson, but it’s something she would like to do one day — once

her life settles down a bit.As a working mother of two

girls — Katie, 10 and Emily, 14 — Culjat’s priorities steered her away from the music she loved to perform when she was younger.

“I had given up on singing al-together. I got married and had a daughter at 18,” she said.

When Culjat was 24, her sis-

ter passed away, leaving behind a daughter, who the singer then adopted.

With two children to raise, she had all but given up on music.

“I always loved singing. I was very musical in high school,” said Culjat.

In fact, it was a few of Cul-jat’s co-workers at the Langley

Milestones restaurant who, re-membering her musical theatre performances at H.D. Stafford, encouraged her to audition for the competition.

“I had never heard of it before I auditioned,” she said.

This year, she will return as a guest performer during the fi nals competition, accompanied by her

daughter Emily on piano.Winning the talent compe-

tition refocused Culjat on her music, she said. And it has given her opportunities she otherwise wouldn’t have had.

She was invited to perform at a fundraiser for the Langley Lodge and, more recently, at the City of Langley’s volunteer appreciation evening.

“It seems like every time I sing at an event, another (invitation) comes along.”

“That’s been very exciting for me,” she said.

“I love doing the charity work, I’m not interested in making a lot of money.”

Beyond performing locally and fi nishing her CD, Culjat hasn’t decided how actively to pursue a music career.

“My daughters are obviously my number one priority,” she said.

At the same time, she knows she needs to set an example and give her girls the opportunity to pursue their own goals.

“Music is a big part of our lives.“I realize how (it feels) to give

up on the things you love and your dreams and I don’t want my daughters to do that.”

Welch is a busy mom to four energetic children. She is com-mitted to raising her vibrant children with grace and a sense of humour, while trying to keep up with Mr. Nobody’s shenani-gans. Welch’s husband Dave is an award-winning glass artist and the creative illustrator for the colourful book.

Langley Community Music School (LCMS) is looking for young B.C. writers between the ages of 12 and 24 to con-tribute stories to the school’s exciting new project Opera-Tion Youth.

The winner(s) will have their story set to music by young composers and pre-sented in performance in May 2015.

“We are excited to launch this community music proj-ect in Langley,” said Marcel Bergmann, LCMS director of program advancement and Op-eraTion Youth project co-direc-tor.

“This is a unique opportunity for young people to be involved in a creative project from its in-ception, collaborating with an array of professionals and other young artists.”

One or more stories will be chosen through a competitive process, and selected young writers will have the opportuni-ty to work closely with a profes-sional librettist to develop their story into an opera/musical theatre piece.   

The production will be adapt-ed to the submissions received — whether ultimately a single multi-act opera or up to three short one-act operas. 

Once the libretto(s) are com-plete, young composers will also be selected through a com-petitive process, and will work

with a professional composer to develop their scores. 

There will be a cash award presented to the selected writ-ers and composers.

Four performances are planned for May, 2015 to coin-cide with B.C. Youth Week. Per-formances will take place in LCMS’ Rose Gellert Hall. 

OperaTion Youth lead artists include Marcel Bergmann, proj-ect co-director; Elizabeth Berg-mann, project co-director; Kico Gonzalez-Risso, librettist/direc-tor; and Joel Stobbe, conductor.

The call for entries is open to all B.C. residents between the ages of 12 and 24. Interested individuals must submit an ex-pression of interest to LCMS in-cluding a cover letter with their contact information and age, story outline and a 250-word summary by Feb. 28.

The story will be based on a socially relevant theme and will be suitable for a family audi-

ence.  Applicants must attend a March 15 workshop at LCMS with the librettist.

Additional dates and dead-lines are outlined below:   

Feb. 28 Expression of inter-est deadline.

March 7 Shortlisted appli-cants notifi ed.

March 15 Workshop with shortlisted applicants.

April 22 Story submission deadline (shortlisted candi-dates only).

April 30 Notifi cation of se-lected writers/stories.

May 1 to June 30, elected writ-er(s) work with librettist to de-velop and complete libretto.              

May, 2015    Performances at LCMS during B.C. Youth Week. 

Interested applicants should submit their expression of interest by email to [email protected] with OperaTion Youth in the subject line or by mail to Langley Com-munity Music School, 4899 207 St., Langley, BC   V3A 2E4, atten-tion: OperaTion Youth.

“As it progresses, the project will bring many more oppor-tunities for youth in surround-ing communities,” said Marcel Bergmann, “including vocal soloists, instrumentalists, and others looking to help with stage management and set de-sign to name a few.” 

For more information please contact Marcel or Elizabeth Bergmann at 604-534-2848.

Heavy rainfall washes out Township road

Brent Parent appeals 12-year driving ban

The monsoon rains that drenched Langley on the weekend didn’t cause too many problems in Langley Township, but it did cause a washout in the 3100 block of 232 Street, said Township assistant fi re chief Bruce Ferguson.

“An existing storm pipe washed out in the storm,” said Township water re-sources engineer Meghan Lee.

She said the storm pipe wasn’t part of the new in-frastructure in the area, but is tied into the project. The road there was closed for much of the summer. It was again closed for part of the weekend, after the washout occurred.

With the washout, more than three metres of as-phalt crumbled away. The storm pipe was off on the shoulder, so that shoulder is in bad shape, she said.

The Township has been working on replacing a main culvert in the area as well as a slope stabil-ity and drainage project which is still underway.

Township road works and engineering were busy Monday working on the road. The road is down to single-lane, alter-nating traffi c.

The hope is to have it re-opened both ways by later this week. Lee said no ve-hicles were caught up in the fl ooding.

At least one vehicle end-ed up in the ditch after hitting pooling water just off the 232 Street exit on Sunday night.

But Langley did manage to avoid the power outag-es that hit the rest of Met-ro Vancouver. This was the second rainiest Sep-tember since 2004, reports Environment Canada.

Jack Shields, 6, was among nine young pediatric oncology patients at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) who got a chance to drive miniature electric Ferraris in front of the new Critical Care Tower on Sept. 22. The racetrack was provided by Friends of Ferrari, a charity that has also donated $5,000 to the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation. Shields, who lives in Langley, was diagnosed with a form of leukemia on March 11, and is receiving treatment at SMH and the BC Children’s Hospital.

LAWYER ARGUES PENALTY WILL MAKE IT TOUGH FOR LANGLEY MAN TO FIND WORK

Brent Parent was in the B.C. Court of Ap-peal in Vancouver on Monday hoping to reduce his driving ban.

Parent, 43, is appealing his 12-year driv-ing ban which begins after he is released

from jail. His lawyer will argue that the ban is too

long and will make it diffi cult for Parent to fi nd work.

In May 2012, a B.C. Supreme Court judge sentenced the Langley man to fi ve and a half years behind bars and a 12-year driv-

ing ban for the 2008 hit and run death of 21-year-old Silas O’Brien.

In front of a full courtroom in New West-minster, Judge Terence Schultes said he wanted to strike a balance between the Crown’s request to see Parent go away for eight years and the defense’s suggestion

of three to four years.He also hoped that Parent would take

advantage of anger management counsel-ling that will be made available to him in jail.

He has represented his province and his country, but never has Jack Kos-terman suited up for the Fraser Valley zone.

But that will change this week as the 15-year-old from Langley will lead Team Fraser Valley in wheelchair basketball at the B.C. Winter Games.

The Games are being held in Mission —  with a few other sites, such as the Walnut Grove Aquatic Centre in Langley — from Feb. 20 to 23. See story below for full list of local athletes.

And while the athletes are all the same age, Kosterman looks forward to sharing his vast experience with the squad’s younger players.

Kosterman played for Canada in Sep-tember at the world junior (U23) wheel-chair basketball championships in Tur-

key, as Canada fi nished sixth.He has also previously competed at

the 2011 Canada Games competition and a pair of Western Canadian cham-pionships.

“It is the fi rst step towards a competi-tive environment for them,” he said.

“It is always exciting to play with new players and show some leadership skills and help them develop the best I can.”

And while travelling east through the Fraser Valley isn’t as glamourous as hopping a plane and heading to another country, but Kosterman doesn’t mind.

“Playing close to home is nice,” he said.

“Travelling is great but every once in a while it is nice to play in your home province and get an opportunity for some family and friends to watch.”

The majority of the Team B.C. players — including Kosterman — are all mem-

bers of the Langley Gold Rush, with Kos-terman. The Gold Rush are a club bas-ketball program.

This is the start of a busy stretch for Kosterman.

Earlier this month he was named to Team B.C. for the 2014 junior wheelchair basketball championships. They will be held March 28 to 30 in Edmonton.

Kosterman, who one day dreams of playing for Canada at the Paralympics, says it can be challenging playing a high-level sport while balancing the de-mands of everyday life.

“But basketball comes fi rst in my life, it is what I want to do so it is the priori-ty all the time,” he said.

Kosterman is a Grade 10 student at Langley Fine Arts School.

“School isn’t too tough (and) as long as I keep on top of it, I don’t fall too be-hind,” he said.

Langley’s Jack Kosterman is hoping to lead Team Fraser Valley to the gold medal at the B.C. Win-ter Games in Mission this week. The 15-year-old has previously represented both his province and country.

The Aldergrove Kodiaks enter the post-season on a six-game win-ning streak after closing the regular season with a 7-4 win over the Port Moody Panthers.

The junior B hockey game was played on Saturday night at the Port Moody Arena and it was the team’s second victory of the week as they also beat the Abbotsford Pilots 5-3 on Feb. 12.

Both games required the Kodiaks to rally from fi rst-period defi cits as they were down 3-1 against Abbots-ford and 2-1 to the Panthers.

Stephen Ryan scored two goals and added two assists versus Port Moody to win the Pacifi c Junior Hockey League scoring title with 41 goals and 88 points. He won by 18 points over teammate Adam Calle-gari.

Both are products of the Langley

Minor Hockey Association.Ryan also became the fi rst 40-goal

scorer in the league in the past sev-en seasons. His point total was also the highest since the 2008/09 cam-paign.

The Kodiaks fi nished the regular season with a sparkling record of 34-6-2-2 and 72 points, 13 clear of second-place Abbotsford in the race for top spot in the Harold Brittain Conference.

Aldergrove did fi nish second over-all in the entire league as the Rich-mond Sockeyes (34-5-3-2, 73 points) edged them by a single point.

Up next is a best-of-seven fi rst round playoff series against the Mis-sion City Outlaws. The teams play tonight (Tuesday) at the Mission Lei-sure Centre with game two set for tomorrow (Wednesday) at the Alder-grove Arena. Feb. 13 Scoreboard

Kodiaks’ Ryan wins PJHL scoring title

Rivermen hit road, earn PG splitAfter seeing their 12-game

point streak come to an end, the Langley Rivermen went right back to their winning ways.

The junior A hockey club lost 3-1 to the Prince George Spruce Kings on Feb. 13 but rebound-ed to win 4-3 the next night. Both games were at the Prince George Coliseum in a fi rst-place showdown for top spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division.

The split leaves Langley (33-13-2-5, 73 points) with an eight-point cushion over Prince George (30-18-3-2, 65 points) as both teams have fi ve games re-maining in the regular season.

That includes three head-to-head contests to close the sea-

son.In the teams’ games last

week, Prince George struck for three goals in the fi rst seven minutes and that was more than enough offence to hand the Rivermen their fi rst regu-lation loss since the end of De-cember.

Zach Urban had the lone Langley goal in the loss.

The rematch saw the River-men jump out to a 3-0 lead a dozen minutes into the game as Tanner Johnson, Marcus Vela and Matt Ustaski all struck for goals. Prince George cut the lead to 3-2 after one period and then tied things up in the sec-ond.

But Evan Anderson scored the game-winner 2:42 into the third period.

Brock Crossthwaite stopped 24 shots in the victory. Cross-thwaite was given the hook af-ter allowing two goals on fi ve shots the game before. Lyndon Stanwood stopped 22 of the 23 shots he faced in relief.

•••••The Rivermen host the Co-

Considering the circumstances, Langley Thunder general manager Rob Buchan was pleased with his draft haul.

The Thunder senior A lacrosse team has no picks in the fi rst three rounds of the Western Lacrosse Association’s junior draft as the result of making trades and loading up in the past cou-ple of seasons.

“(For) where we picked, I thought we did really good,” Buchan said.

“I thought we did very good with the picks we had.”

The annual draft for players born in 1992 was held on Feb. 6 at the Langley Events Centre.

Langley held the 27th and 28th over-all picks — the fi nal two of the fourth round —  but swapped those to the Nanaimo Timbermen for the second pick in the fourth round, 22nd overall, which they used on Quinn Smith.

Smith, an offensive left-handed player, is from Kamloops and played his junior with New Westminster. He was ninth in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League with 27 goals and 76 points.

“I had him pegged as a 14 or 15 (pick overall) so to get him at 22, so we were real happy with that,” Buchan said.

“Same with Adam Will — we got him at 29 (fi fth round) — and he is a good two-way player and we thought he could have gone much earlier.”

Will comes from the Langley Junior Thunder program. He was fourth on the team with 23 goals and 52 points.

“Our intentions were to hopefully get one player who could make our team (this year) and contribute,” Bu-chan said.

“I think both of those kids will make our team and contribute for a num-ber of years.”

The Thunder also drafted fi ve other players: Nathan Henare, Nash Harri-son, Michael Bosch, Keenan Staples and Garrett Span with their sixth through tenth round picks.

Henare, Bosch and Staples all played junior with Langley while the other two are from the Port Coquitlam ju-nior squad.

“Any of those guys will have the

same opportunity to come out and work hard and try and make the team,” Buchan said.

“Obviously the later in the draft (they are taken) the tougher it is for them, but guys in the past from the fi fth and sixth rounds have ended up making our team.”

In addition to the three Jr. Thunder players taken in the draft by Lang-ley, another 11 from the organiza-tion were also selected. Altogether, the Langley junior organization led the way with 15 players selected, fol-lowed by a dozen from Victoria, nine from New West and eight from Co-quitlam.

Sean Lundstrom went in the sec-ond round (eighth overall) to New Westminster while Reegan Comeault, Brandon Bull and Nick Stone all went in the third round. Comeault went to Nanaimo while the other two were taken by Victoria.

Maple Ridge grabbed Zach Porter in the fourth round, Tyler Glebe went to Coquitlam in the fi fth round and Matt Messenger (New Westminster) and Dylan Quinn (Maple Ridge) were taken in the sixth round. The seventh round saw Spencer England (New West) and Spencer Evans (Maple Ridge) selected while Brenden Kidd went to Maple Ridge in round eight.

Another Langley product, Brendan Rouse of the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies, went in the second round to Burnaby.

Three of the draft picks, including Lundstrom, are also members of the National Lacrosse League’s Vancou-ver Stealth.

Tyler Garrison, a second-year mem-ber of the Stealth, was the top overall pick in the WLA draft, going to Co-quitlam.

And Chris Wardle went in the sec-ond round to Victoria.

•••••The Western Lacrosse Association

also announced its 2014 schedule.The Langley Thunder begin the sea-

on May 17 versus Coquitlam. The senior A lacrosse squad plays

three road games before their home opener verus Maple Ridge on May 28 at the Langley Events Centre.

Langley Thunder’s Trevor Hawley looks to make his move during his team’s game against the Maple Ridge Burrards at Willoughby Community Park on Feb. 2 in Pacifi c Coast Field Lacrosse League U16 tier 2 action.

Amber-Lee Kavanagh helped lead the Kwantlen Eagles to a pair of key victories that pulled the team into a playoff position.

Kavanagh, a second-year forward for the Eagles and a Brookswood Secondary gradu-ate, led her team in scoring both nights, registering a total of 29 points, and added 21 rebounds, fi ve assists and one steal in vic-tories over the Langara Falcons and the Douglas Royals. It also

earned Kavana-gh the PacWest female athlete of the week award for the week end-ing Feb. 9.

For the season, Kavanagh is top 10 in rebounds and top fi ve in assists in the conference.

The Eagles sit at 6-14 and are tied with Langara for the fi nal

playoff spot in the conference with two games to play in the reg-ular season.

•••••Members of the

Langley Figure Skating Club re-

turned with four silver medals from a Winterskate Competi-tion held in Chilliwack earlier this month (Feb. 7-9).

Karlin De Schutter, Brooklyn Sanderson, Evelyn Bator and Una Chang all won silver med-als in their respective catego-ries.

Vanessa Merk (seventh), Mackenna Kerr (fourth), Kate Boys (fi fth in ladies and eighth in into interpretative), Diana Hong (fi fth in junior silver la-dies and 16th in pre-novice la-dies) and Madison Borthwick (12th) also had strong skates.

Just under 700 runners took part in the annual Trinity Western Universi-ty Fort Langley Historic Half Marathon on Sun-day morning. Duane Fo-ley (#102) fi nished sec-ond overall with a time of 1:30.34.7, just a few seconds behind Lawerce Brown’s 1:26.55.0. Three hundred and 70 runners participated in the half marathon, with another 187 in the 10km and 100 in the 5km. Kevin Heinze won the 10km event in 40:27.8 while Olivia Willett was tops in the 5km with a time of 19:35.6.
