Langley chamber opposes transit referendum

Former Langley RCMP Insp. Amrik Virk has been B.C.’s advanced education minister since last May, but has now switched portfolios with Andrew Wilkinson, due to his involvement in a Kwantlen Poly-technic University executive compensation plan.

TOM FLETCHER Black Press

TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

Premier Christy Clark moved embattled cabinet minister Amrik Virk out of his advanced education ministry role on Thursday, as the government wrapped up its probe into un-authorized signing bonuses for new executives at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Virk trades cabinet jobs with Vancouver-Quilchena MLA An-drew Wilkinson, who was serv-ing as technology, innovation and citizens’ services minister. The announcement came after the government released the latest results of a probe of the Kwantlen hirings.

Virk was an inspector with the Langley RCMP and volun-teer Kwantlen board member before being elected MLA for Surrey-Tynehead in the May, 2013 election.

In November, the NDP pro-duced emails that contradicted Virk’s claim he was not involved in a decision to get around B.C. salary guidelines for university executives.

Virk said he forgot about an email exchange where he pro-posed a research allowance for then-University of Regina dean of business Ann Lavack for the position of vice-president aca-demic at Kwantlen. B.C. public service pay rules limited the po-sition to $170,000 a year, and La-vack took the job in 2011 with a $20,000 research allowance and

a $50,000 “consulting fee.” Nei-ther was reported to provincial offi cials.

Clark also announced three new cabinet assistant appoint-ments. In one of them, Peace

River South MLA Mike Bernier takes a new position as parlia-mentary secretary for “energy literacy and the environment,” reporting to Environment Min-ister Mary Polak.

Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has come out against the proposed “Con-gestion Improvement Tax,” which is being proposed to provide additional money for TransLink to extend bus service, replace the Pattullo Bridge and add new rapid transit lines.

The chamber board voted not to support the referendum, which proposes a .5 per cent dedicated regional tax to fund the transit and transportation infrastructure expansion plan in the Metro Vancouver Region. It is going against the position of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce and most Lower Mainland chambers.

For the past several years, the Lang-

ley chamber has advocated for “mobility pricing” to provide a user-pay, sustainable funding source, which is equitable and provides the ability to impact demand management in the Metro Vancouver re-gion.

“We are disappointed that the current proposals do not have concrete plans to ensure the regional tax is temporary and facilitate transition to mobility pricing in the near future,” said a chamber press re-lease.

One of the board’s concerns was that the congestion improvement tax proposal has a “lack of stated mechanisms to mitigate the negative impact on Langley due to

leakage of investment and consumers into Abbotsford and the U.S. to avoid a region-al tax.” It is also concerned that South of Fraser projects may be delayed or deferred if other largher projects go over budget, or incur construction delays.

“We will continue to lobby for the im-plementation of mobility pricing to fund transportation improvements in the re-gion,” the press release stated.

Meanwhile on Thursday, the provincial government released the question and ap-proved the referendum, which will be of-fi cially called the Metro Vancouver Trans-portation and Transit Plebiscite.

In a letter to the Metro mayors council,

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the new tax would apply to “the majority of goods and services that are subject to the PST and are sold or delivered within the region.”

Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore said making it a separate tax may still amount to the same thing for most resi-dents, but he noted it does provide scope for the province to allow different exemp-tions, potentially for large purchases like cars.

Last week, car dealers raised concern they may lose business to competitors in the Fraser Valley if vehicle buyers face an extra 0.5 per cent tax within Metro.

Virk out of advanced education Avian flu found atsecond Langley farmA second Langley poultry farm

has been quarantined due to the outbreak of the avian fl u.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said on Wednesday that the farm, the 11th so far, is located in Langley, and has 11,800 broiler and breeder chickens. As is the case at the other farms identifi ed thus far, all birds will be euthanized.

Of the 11 farms identifi ed thus far, eight are in Abbotsford, one in Chilliwack and two in Langley. Three are turkey farms, with the remainder raising chickens for various uses. The total number of bird affected, all of whom are be-ing euthanized, is 245,600.

Meanwhile,the avian fl u has spread across the border, and at least one American expert isn’t impressed with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) response.

Biomedical researcher Henry Niman is concerned the high-ly pathogenic strain will spread throughout North America as wild birds begin winter migration.

No poultry farms in the U.S. were impacted as of Wednesday, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported Tuesday, Dec. 16 that the H5N2 strain found in Chil-liwack, Abbotsford and Langley has been detected in northern pin-tail ducks in Lynden, Wash., fewer than 15 kilometres from the Fraser Valley cluster.

“The fi nding in Whatcom County was quickly reported and identi-fi ed due to increased surveillance for avian infl uenza in light of the [highly pathogenic] H5N2 avian infl uenza affecting commercial poultry in British Columbia, Cana-da,” said a USDA statement issued Dec. 16.

In addition, a highly pathogenic H5N8 strain was found in Wash-ington in three captive falcons that were fed hunter-killed wild birds.

Niman, who is president of Pitts-burgh-based Recombinomics, analyzes viral evolution and the spread of disease.

“The wild birds really can’t be controlled, which is why this is a very big deal that could have a se-rious impact on poultry markets throughout the Americas,” Niman told Black Press.

“Poultry farmers throughout North America should be worried.”

Niman says the CFIA is trying to “manage the message” and downplay concerns, releasing in-formation too slowly, something that could have far-reaching con-sequences.

The fi rst farm where avian fl u was detected was a broiler breed-er farm with 13,000 birds in Chilli-wack, although no other farms in the city have been directly impact-ed by the outbreak.

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

The Law Society of British Columbia violated the rights of Trinity Western University students when it withdrew ap-proval for a controversial law school at the Langley campus.

The claim is contained in a statement announcing TWU will sue the Law Society over its Oct. 31 decision to withdraw recognition of the planned law school at the private Christian university.

The society regulates the more than 11,000 practising lawyers in the province.

“We have no choice but to proceed legally,” said TWU pres-ident Bob Kuhn.

“By prejudging our future law graduates not on their quali-fi cations but the Community Covenant they agree to abide by while students at TWU, the Law Society has infringed on the human rights of TWU and its students.”

The law society reversed its decision following a prov-ince-wide vote of lawyers in B.C., most of whom object to the covenant that makes stu-dents and staff promise they won’t get involved in any rela-tionship other than a married, heterosexual one.

Critics say the covenant is an-ti-gay and confl icts with a law-

yer’s duty to represent anyone regardless of their beliefs.

The TWU statement an-nouncing the intention to sue said the Law Society’s decision to rescind its prior approval was “not grounded on the quality of the TWU academic program, but rather was based on TWU’s religious view of marriage.”

Kuhn noted the universi-ty won a similar court fi ght in 2001 over its teacher training program when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled “there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that the religious views of TWU graduates lessen their

competence to practice their profession in Canada’s pluralis-tic society.”

Kuhn added the covenant also says that “all students and faculty are to love and respect other people, regardless of their background or personal char-acteristics. TWU is a communi-ty of diversity and acceptance. This campus is a Christian home for four thousand stu-dents with an array of opinions and beliefs.”

The provincial advanced ed-ucation minister has also re-scinded approval of the TWU school.

TWU sues over law schoolUNIVERSITY SAYS LAW SOCIETY HAS INFRINGED ON

THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF TWU AND ITS STUDENTS

Trinity Western University president Bob Kuhn says the school has no choice but to sue after the Law Society of B.C. withdrew its approval for a law school at the Christian university.

The Merry Musicians just re-fuse to call it quits.

While the ranks of the musi-cal group have been thinned by death and old age, there are still enough of them ready to play lively music each Tuesday at the St. Joseph’s Church soup kitch-en in Langley City.

On Tuesday, Dec. 16, they were rejoined by a former member — 101-year-old Bill Lowe, a tenor saxophone player. He now lives in North Vancouver, but played with the group for many years.

The Merry Musicians have been playing together for de-

cades. At one time, there were 13 of them. Now, there are usu-ally eight, says Margaret Halcro, the 94-year-old pianist.

While she is legally blind, that doesn’t stop her from taking part in the musical group — or from a full and active life play-ing music and volunteering at Langley Seniors Centre. She is also active with the Kiwanis Club and Women of the Moose. She has been playing the piano since she was three and one-half years old.

Halcro says the group does not practice. Instead, they have made up about 16 separate set lists, and have a playlist

of about 40 songs. They are so used to each other than they just settle in and play.

Hazel Copeland, 79, is the group’s leader and plays the electric guitar. Art Pettit, 97, plays saxophone. Violinist is 90-year-old Frank Towne, while drummer Joe Sullivan is a youngster, in his late 70s. Evelyn Smith plays guitar and husband and wife team Ron Hergott and Georgina Talacko, in their 80s, play the accordion and mando-lin, respectively.

The Merry Musicians also play on other occasions, as opportunities present them-selves.

The Township of Langley is preparing to seek more answers about the Kinder Morgan pipeline project, and is encouraging residents who have an opinion on the project to voice their concerns.

The Township has been granted corporate in-tervener status in the National Energy Board’s hearing on the proposal to twin the Trans Moun-tain Pipeline, which runs through north Langley.

The municipality remains focused on several fundamental issues, including:

1. The potential environmental and socio-eco-nomic effects of the proposed project;

2. The suitability of the design and location of the proposed project;

3. Potential impacts of the project on landown-ers and land use;

4. The cost to taxpayers related to the installa-tion and long-term operation of the pipeline;

5. Kinder Morgan’s co-operation in adhering to municipal bylaws and policies; and

6. Kinder Morgan’s accountability in adequately responding in case of an incident.

The Township will submit a request for more information to the National Energy Board by Jan. 9, 2015. Residents with relevant information re-garding these issues must send their submis-sions to the Township before then.

Email [email protected] or mail or deliver submissions to: Pipeline Input, c/o Township of Langley Engineering Division, 4700 – 224 Street, Langley, BC V2Z 1N4

This is the second round of public input that has been sought by the Township for submission to the National Energy Board.

In the summer, Kinder Morgan revised its cor-ridor alignment to run through or around Red-woods Golf Course and through the industrial part of North West Langley toward Port Kells. While Kinder Morgan has responded to Township questions, more detailed responses are being sought.

For more information, contact the Township’s Engineering Division at [email protected] or visit tol.ca/pipelineinput.

Do you make a conscious effort to avoid drinking and driv-ing at this time of year?

Do you support the proposal to fund TransLink with a .5 per cent PST increase??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

As the year ends, it’s time to think back on the many wonderful aspects of living in Lang-ley.

It is one of the most beautiful communities in the Lower Mainland. The mountain views,

winding rivers, trails, abundant open space, regional and local parks, and other features make for vistas and recre-ation opportunities that are hard to beat.

But open spaces and beautiful views alone aren’t enough to make a good community. That requires people and their myriad activities.

In some places, the human activity detracts from the surroundings. For the most part, that is not the case here.

A signifi cant number of people here work hard to make the community better. Sometimes that is through their work — creating jobs, enhancing economic opportunities, helping other people and boosting other businesses.

Sometimes it is through volunteer and charitable work. Sometimes it is through raising a family and teaching children to be good citizens.

At this time of year, the Langley Christmas Bureau comes to mind. It is staffed totally by volunteers. All the money contributed comes from individuals, Many people volunteer to deliver hampers to needy families in Langley.

Many other organizations are active year-round. They contribute to children’s activities and needs; they assist seniors; they raise money and supplies for people in other parts of the world. Doing so gives them a sense of value and purpose and adds immeasurably to the community.

There are a few people who detract from the many good things the community does, and their negative energy is a distraction and disappointment to others. Nonetheless, most people don’t get too focused on them. They focus on the positive.

Langley is a growing and vibrant community. It is made up of a lot of hard-working, active and industrious peo-ple. Most of them want to make this community better for others, and for the future.

A Merry Christmas to all of them, and a big thank you for all that you do.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau seems to be in favour of Kinder Morgan’s plan to twin its pipeline. He is in favour of the Keystone XL project currently being pooh-poohed by U.S. President Barack Obama. Trudeau is not in fa-

vour of the Northern Gateway pipeline project.It’s diffi cult to follow the reasoning behind these stances

from the man who wants to be prime minister. The three-point checklist for his approval, according to the Liberal Party of Canada website: Does it get Canadian resources to market? Is it environmentally responsible? Does it have community approval?

All three pipelines pass on the fi rst point, obviously. The Kinder Morgan pipeline starts in Alberta and ends in Burnaby. You may remember the recent arrests related to Kinder Morgan’s exploratory work on Burnaby Moun-tain. Protesters from the community and elsewhere were dragged away from the mountain, claiming the pipeline has no support locally and is an environmental disaster waiting to happen, either through a potential rupture or through its contribution to the bigger picture of climate change.

What’s more, the City of Burnaby has offi cially an-nounced its opposition to the pipeline.

Even if he could put a check mark beside “environmen-tally responsible” in regard to Kinder Morgan, how does Trudeau possibly check the box beside “community ap-proval?”

We get that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is not exact-ly universally loved. Leaders seldom are after some time in offi ce, and the word change, no matter how empty, can be a powerful motivator for the electorate. It should also be said it would not take much time to fi nd inconsisten-cies in the policies of the Conservatives, either.

We do hope voters take some time to look a little deeper than the surface next year when it comes to choosing our next prime minister.

Some congestion tax concerns dealt with

Last week’s column focused on the fairness of the proposed .5 per cent tax to fund TransLink improve-ments, and the obstacles which Metro Vancouver mayors will have in getting a majority of those who vote to support it.

The provincial government has now approved the idea, but with a few minor changes. It wants the tax to be known as the “Metro Van-couver Congestion Improvement Tax,” and to be added on to the sev-en per cent PST — but not necessarily to every single item subject to the PST.

The province wants the question word-ed to include the following phrase: “A new Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax would be applied as a 0.5 per cent sales tax on the majority of goods and services that are subject to the Provincial Sales Tax and are sold or delivered in the region.”

That wording will make it all but impos-sible to evade the half per cent tax by buy-ing a new car in Abbotsford, for example. The tax will be applied depending on the address of the owner, not where the car is bought. That will be the case with any item purchased which is subject to registration with the province, such as boats, motorcy-cles or off-road vehicles.

That will ease the concerns of organi-zations like Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, which has taken a stance against the congestion tax due to its effect on Langley businesses.

The column also drew a response from Bill Tieleman, who is heavily involved in organizing the “yes” side in the referen-dum. He was, of course, the organizational genius behind the petition against the HST, which succeeded, despite heavy obstacles.

It set a new benchmark for citizen engagement on tax issues in Can-ada.

He said it is a virtual impossibil-ity that the .5 per cent tax could later be boosted to a higher level. The province is keeping it separate from the rest of the PST, for start-ers, and wording of specifi c legis-lation, including that setting up TransLink, will make such a move very challenging. It would require approval from the province and

likely from mayors as well.He agrees with me that the biggest obsta-

cle to a “yes” vote is TransLink’s poor rep-utation, and I suspect that the early stages of the “yes” campaign will focus on the im-provements that people will see for the ad-ditional taxes they pay. He noted that the mayors specifi cally want a yearly audit of how the additional funds are being used, to ease concerns about mismanagement.

These measures will likely bring over some who are on the fence, but it seems that TransLink has to demonstrate that it is prepared to do things differently right away. There needs to be some signifi cant pay cuts for senior management and the unelected board.

There also needs to be a commitment to negotiate a new contract with TranLink Po-lice that is much less generous, in respect of both extra pay on Sundays and double dipping (current TransLink Police offi cers drawing pensions from previous public service jobs).

I agree with him that most Metro Van-couver residents would like to see better transit and less congestion. Their trust in TransLink to deliver on its pledges is mini-mal at this stage.

Gateway wants to be part of solutionEditor: In response to Bruce Kilby’s letter to the editor (The

Times, Dec. 16), we certainly appreciate that the issues sur-rounding homelessness in our community, particularly where chronic addiction and signifi cant mental health issues are concerned, are not at all easily resolved.

As the chairperson of the Gateway of Hope’s volunteer com-munity advisory council (Community Council), I know I speak for the others on our council as well as the leadership and team of the Gateway of Hope in saying that The Salvation Army Gateway of Hope remains committed to being a part of the solution in addressing homelessness within our commu-nity.

We appreciate the acknowledgement in the letter that good is being done through the Gateway of Hope’s many programs and services. We have seen it fi rst and and we believe our re-cord over the past fi ve years demonstrates that a difference has been and continues to be made in the lives of many, many people who have been caught in the vicious cycles of home-lessness, addiction and poverty.

Without question we share Kilby’s concern for neighbour-hood safety. Our neighbours are as important to us as those whom we serve. Thus we have always taken our responsibility of being a good neighbour seriously.

We expect those who live with us and access our services

to respect our neighbours’ privacy and their property, and we believe we have demonstrated our willingness to listen and respond to the complaints and concerns brought to us by our neighbours in a sensitive and timely manner.

We know with certainty that the vast majority of those who come to our doors for help are genuinely thankful for the help-ing hand they receive and sincerely respectful of our commu-nity. We also know, sadly, that the same types of issues Kilby refers to are occurring in neighbourhoods all throughout the City and Township. Thank goodness that we have the Gateway of Hope ready to assist those who have lost their way.

We thank the residents and leaders of the City and Town-ship for the wonderful support you continue to provide us as we labour in our mission to help others out of dark places of hopelessness and despair. We certainly cannot do it without your support.

Please give us a call or drop by for a tour of our place of hope. Our door is always open for further dialogue and partnerships to address the devastating effects of homelessness within our community.

Innocence of Christmas angel

Euthanasia bill opposed

Editor: This is a poem for the season.Christmas Angel

Behold this fi nal month, December’s beauty is all around usCaptivated by the endless lights; shining brightA little girl is sleeping and wishing for all she has seenColorful decorations dance through her headThe house was perfect it smelt like gingerbreadMother and father love her so, soon enoughShe will be touching fresh snowOnce she awakens, outside she will go A bright red scarf keeps her toasty warmMaking a snow angel; she feels a snowfl ake fall lightly on her noseEmbrace this season open your hearts, aChilds innocence bears no scars.

BETSY EADIELANGLEY

Editor: This is my response to the re-cently-proposed Senate bill S-225 on euthanasia. I hope that the newspaper is brave enough to publish it.

I am a Grade 12 student. I recently read about the bill S-225 that was pro-posed in the Senate, and it worried me greatly. I believe in the value of life, and the idea of assisted suicide being legalized in Canada terrifi ed me for a few reasons. My hope is that you take a few minutes to read the points I am go-ing to clarify and think carefully about them.

First of all, I think that the new bill really is an absolutely ridiculous pro-posal, because it has already been pro-posed once, and it was brought down with blistering opposition. It is ludi-crous to propose an almost identical bill with no new information or scien-tifi c evidence to support it.

Secondly, it legalizes euthanasia without any safeguard for the patient at all. With no requirement for the physician to report a murder (pardon my language, but that’s what I truly believe it is), vulnerable persons (el-derly, mentally challenged, etc.) are extremely vulnerable to a harmful or unwilling procedure. We would like to

imagine that we live in a society where only those who absolutely wanted this procedure to take place would be sub-jected to it, but unfortunately there is always corruption present, and inno-cent people would be harmed every day. This bill also legalizes assisted suicide for those experiencing “physio-logical suffering,” a term which is not even defi ned. This means that anyone experiencing an emotional issue coul-do choose to opt out of life simply to end their short-term suffering.

My fi nal point is that this would la-bel anyone who fi ts into the category of those expected to qualify for eutha-nasia as a burden. The elderly, disabled, and dependent will now appear to be a burden on families and supporters because they choose to live, even if it means possibly a little extra work for those around us. It’s a little concept called helping others. I’m sure you’ve heard it. This is, of course, only brush-ing the surface of a raging debate in Canada today, but I believe these points can easily establish a counter argu-ment to those who believe life to be a burden and pointless.

Christmas is the wordEditor: Re: Zak Graham’s letter to the edi-

tor (The Times, Dec. 16).Merry Christmas, Zak. And thanks so

much for the lesson in Greek/English bilin-gualism.

However, if the Greeks choose to use X to signify chi, good on them. But tell me, what is wrong with us here in Canada using the full word of Christmas? The inclusion of

Christ instead of X makes it very clear as to what the whole subject is all about to us who are not profi cient in the Greek lan-guage.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Students in Langley are graduat-ing at the highest rate ever seen.

Last year, 87 per cent of Grade 12 students graduated, up from 78 per cent in 2008.

The school district’s realistic tar-get is 93 per cent, but the ideal is 100 per cent, said Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman at the fi nal board of education meeting of the year.

“While it seems like a good news story, I’m dissatisfi ed with the re-sults.

“It’s not good enough. We want 100 per cent,” said Hoffman.

Males are still lagging behind fe-males, with 85 per cent graduating. That is the highest rate ever seen for boys though, which shows gains have been made.

Aboriginal students are also see-

ing better successes, with 68 per cent of Aboriginal students graduat-ing, compared to 52 per cent in 2007.

To that Hoffman said there is still work to do to bring those numbers even higher.

The same is true for special educa-tion students, at 68 per cent. Those students with behaviour issues saw the least success.

English as a Second Language learners graduating at a 93 per cent rate last year.

Last year, a Karen refugee was the fi rst from that group of people who moved to Langley several years ago to graduate.

Of those who graduate, 91 per cent planned to attend some sort of post-secondary education.

For those who don’t graduate, principals track why each of them didn’t.

Two shipping containers full of Ready-to-Use Therapeu-tic Food (RUTF) are arriving in African countries over the next few weeks, thanks to a Langley charity.

The food will assist 1,800 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, and arrangements have been made by Langley’s Food For Famine Society. Through the generosity of Billy Vandekerkhove of Super Save Group, $100,000 was donated to sponsor the two shipping containers.

The fi rst container is set to arrive the Democratic Re-public of the Congo today (Dec. 23), with the second one scheduled to arrive in South Sudan in mid-January 2015.

The Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food will be distribut-

ed by Food For Famine’s partner World Vision Canada, through its community-based Management of Acute Mal-nutrition Programs (CMAM).

World Vision in the DRC will implement an integrated nutrition, health, water and sanitation program in Mitwa-ba territory in the “Triangle de la Mort.” This project will provide direct nutrition treatment to benefi ciaries, com-prising of mothers and children under fi ve years old. World Vision seeks to provide for the stabilization and treatment of 739 severely acutely malnourished children under fi ve years of age with medical complications, through in-pa-tient treatment in three health centres.

A further 7,387 severely acutely malnourished (SAM) people without medical complications will be treated within the Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) with RUTF.

Maria Martini of Food For Famine Society reports that a third container is close to being fi lled, thanks to donors from the World Food Day corporate breakfast in October at Langley Events Centre. It will be shipped to the Demo-cratic Republic of Congo in the New Year.

Anyone who would like to assist can donate online at http://www.foodforfamine.org or by texting FFF to 45678, to immediately donate $5.

Help for undernourished children comes from Langley

The need for Christ-mas hampers is way up and the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope is asking for some help.

Staff at the Gateway of Hope have noticed a considerable increase over last year’s Christ-mas Hamper registra-tions.

“There has been a 14 per cent increase in registrations for sin-gles and couples with no kids and seniors liv-ing in Langley and Al-dergrove,” said Andrea Voss, Family Services co-ordinator.

“Cutoff for registra-tions was Dec. 12, and we are still getting phone calls and drop- ins for more. A large increase in registrations for hampers means more funds are needed than what is available in our budget,”said Troy Gaglardi, director of community resources.

Last year, Gateway of Hope helped 480 reg-istrants with a Christ-mas ham, grocery gift card and other goodies. Those who came in af-ter the cutoff received resources as they were available. Donations can be made at the Gateway of Hope.

NICK GREENIZANBlack Press

A quick scan of Wayne Kuyer’s Langley offi ce reveals things one would expect to see in an accountant’s place of business — a waiting area for clients, a large print-er against the back wall, a bowl of candy resting on the front counter.

But look closer, and hints of Kuyer’s se-cret identity begin to come to light.

Sitting on a stand in the hallway is an old-fashioned adding machine, while be-hind the desk sits a large, hard-covered ledger, the kind Ebenezer Scrooge may have used to keep track of his every pen-ny in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

Soon, Kuyer enters the room, decked out in full costume — vintage suit, com-plete with gold timepiece, wire-rimmed spectacles, fi ngerless gloves, ascot and top hat, looking every bit like Jacob Mar-ley, as though he has walked right out of 19th century Dickensian London.

Next month, Kuyer — as he has ev-ery year since 1996 — will don the get-up as he makes his rounds through the Langley business community, collecting donations for the Langley Christmas Bu-reau and the Empty Stocking Fund.

The tradition began as a two-man oper-ation, and Kuyer — dressed as Marley — and his late business partner Stephen de Verteuil — dressed as Scrooge — would canvas various neighbourhood haunts.

In 2002, de Verteuil died after a battle with cancer, and Kuyer decided to con-tinue the charitable effort on his own. To date, Kuyer’s efforts have raised more

than $165,200.“When Stephen passed away, I knew,

number one, that I wanted to keep going with it,” Kuyer said. “It is extra work, do-ing it on my own now, but when you look at the extra time it takes… all you do is just look at the money we’ve raised, and it’s pretty hard to say, ‘Oh, well I’m too busy to do it this year.’ It’s helping out a lot of people. It’s nice if you’re able to ap-preciate where you are in your own life, and help out others when you can.”

It’s that philosophy that led the pair to begin the drive in the fi rst place.

Kuyer said they had been brainstorm-ing ways to help some local charities at Christmastime, and both agreed on a grassroots campaign.

The costumes, however, were Kuyer’s idea.

“A Christmas Carol has always been a real favourite of mine, so I think it was probably me who came up with it,” he said.

The fi rst year, the pair rented their cos-tumes and made their rounds, collecting $2,400. The next December, they raised $2,800.

“It’s just kept continually growing,” Kuyer said, adding that last year —thanks in part to a single sizable donation from one business owner — donations topped the $22,000 mark.

The costumes — Kuyer now owns his, rather than relying on a rental — have al-ways been an excellent ice-breaker with those who give.

“One of the nice things about putting

on a costume is that it creates a dialogue. A lot of businesses have signs outside that say ‘No Soliciting’ but it’s a little dif-ferent if you show up like this,” he said. “Once you put on the costume, people are happy to see you.”

Occasionally, Kuyer says he’ll go a bit further into character — “I have a little bit of a spiel I do… it’s just sort of a play on the theme,” he says — but even he has his limits.

“Sometimes, people expect that I’m go-ing to break out into a song. But I don’t sing — I have to make that clear to peo-ple,” he laughed.

The operation is far more streamlined than the early days, too.

Now, in advance of his collection peri-od, Kuyer sends out a letter — creative-ly written by his offi ce manager Angela Miles — along with a pledge form. Then, he awaits a response and begins making his rounds.

Kuyer is quick to credit the community around him for the campaign’s contin-ued success.

“With respect to what we’re achieving, sure, it’s partly on my efforts, but it’s re-ally the business community that has supported it,” he said.

“We are just a conduit for people who probably already want to give, but maybe they just don’t know to where.

“They just need a little push, or the convenience —that’s really what this helps with. Without all this support, this wouldn’t be as successful, or as much fun.”

Being Jacob Marley

For the past 18 Christmases, Langley accountant Wayne Kuyer has donned his best Dickensian costume and, as Jacob Marley, has collected donations for the Langley Christmas Bureau and Empty Stocking Fund.

Boxing Week

Choo Choo’s has been serving up fun and fresh home cooking in the heart of downtown Langley since 1992.

Some might even say the popular din-ing establishment has become a local landmark over the years – one that at-tracts tourists and regular patrons from all over the Fraser Valley and beyond.

From the iconic train that circles inside the perimeter of the dining room, thrill-ing both the young and young at heart, and the made-from-scratch cuisine to the cozy atmosphere, prime location and friendly service, it’s no wonder this one-of-a-kind restaurant continues to steam full-speed into the future.

And as a family restaurant, it’s only fi t-ting that Choo Choo’s is

run by a husband and wife team.

Terry and Helene Couston took over the business from Terry’s brother around 23 years ago. Today, their two adult daugh-ters, Megan and Erin, also work alongside them on a part-time basis while pursuing their studies.

Even after all these years, the couple still get a kick out of watching how ex-cited young children get to see the train pass them by while eating.

“It’s always fun to watch – they get very taken with it,” said Terry, who as a young child had a train setup that both he and his brother were enthralled with while growing up in England.

“I think the whole notion of the trains here at the restaurant came from our childhood and the train we both had. It was spanned the whole length of the attic – so many great memories!”

reach, the Couston’s invite patrons of all ages to choose from a bevy of toy trains to play with at their table.

“Even the grownups love to play with the trains,” laughed Terry.

There’s also a children’s room in the back of the restaurant with a train table for wee ones to play with – a popular space for birthday parties and celebra-tions.

There’s no doubt about it that the train-theme may draw patrons in, but it’s the food that keeps them coming back.

“We pride ourselves on our menu,” said Terry.

“We still make all our own food – soups, sauces, desserts, breads, etc. After 50 years, our fresh burgers and schnitzels are still a hit, and we make them in the building.”

Terry also notes that the top-notch cus-

tomer service is also at the heart of this booming little family hot spot.

“A lot of the same people have been coming here for over 40 years. We also have some long-term staff - our kitchen manager has been with us for over 20 years – it’s a real enjoyable place to work and dine.”

As far as location is concerned, Choo Choo’s is stationed in a prime spot .

“I just love downtown Langley – espe-cially the one-way,” said Terry

“There’s a real sense of community here that’s lacking in a lot of other places in the Lower Mainland.”

Terry and Helene invite regulars and newcomers to climb aboard Choo Choo’s unique dining experience this holiday season.

“We hope to see you soon or in the New Year. Happy Holidays!”

Vancouver Stealth’s Curtis Hodgson celebrates a goal during the 2014 Na-tional Lacrosse League season. Hodgson is one of 11 returning players and will serve as the team’s new captain when they kick off the 2015 season on Jan. 3 with their home opener at the Langley Events Centre on Jan. 10.

GARY AHUJA Langley Times f i le photo

Captain Curtis: Hodgson selected to wear Stealth ‘C’GARY AHUJATimes Sports

When it came time to name a new captain for the upcoming season, it was an easy choice to give Curtis Hodgson the ‘C’.

“He just stepped up from the opening day of the camp,” said Vancouver Stealth coach Dan Perreault.

“It has just been natural for him and it was an easy deci-sion for our staff.

“He is a veteran guy (and) has always been one of our lead-ers.”

The National Lacrosse League squad was in need of a new captain for the 2015 season af-ter Kyle Sorenson underwent off-season knee surgery and is gone for the year.

“I feel really grateful to lead this team,” said Hodgson, who enters his 10th season in the league.

“We’ve got a terrific group of guys that have come together.

“As a cagey veteran on the

squad, I’m privileged to lead these guys. I’m really excited about the opportunity.”

Hodgson holds the Stealth franchise record with 161 reg-ular season games played and is tied for the lead in playoff games, having suited up in 11. He won a title with the Stealth in 2010.

He is friends with Soren-son and said they have talked about roles and responsibili-ties.

“I’ve been an older guy for the last few years and I’ve tak-en on that mentorship role that worked for me when I was a younger player, in terms of how to learn the game and what it takes to win and that’s something I’ll try and bring this season,” Hodgson said.

Joining him as assistant cap-tains will be Rhys Duch and Cliff Smith.

“It’s an honour not only to be recognized as a leader but to be displayed as one,” said Duch,

who will serve as an assistant for the third straight year.

He has been with the organi-zation since they drafted him third overall in 2008. He is the franchise’s all-time assists leader and was part of the 2010 championship team.

“It’s a good feeling but it comes with responsibility but it’s a responsibility I’m ready for.”

“Being a part of the leader-ship group is exciting,” said Smith. “It’s something you look forward to when you’re a young player, to be someone that’s looked upon as a leader.”

Smith, who enters his fifth NLL season, will be an assis-tant captain for the first time.

“I don’t think there’s neces-sarily any added pressure,” he said.

“Regardless if you’re a rookie or a veteran, there’s always go-ing to be high expectations af-ter last season. It’s more excit-ing than it is nerve-wracking.”

GARY AHUJATimes Sports

The squad is set as the Vancouver Stealth look for a bounce back season after a disap-pointing fi rst year in Langley.

The Stealth an-nounced their fi nal roster for the 2015 Na-tional Lacrosse League season on Wednesday, with nearly half of a new line-up.

The team returns 11 of 20 players from last year’s squad, which went 4-14 and missed the post-season.

In 2013, the Stealth made it to the Champi-ons Cup fi nal, losing to the Rochester Knight-hawks.

“We have a solid core of returning veterans who are very hungry this year,” said Stealth president and general manager Doug Locker.

“Coupled with the players we acquired

in the off-season, we feel the mix is there to contend deep into the post-season.”

The Stealth return their top four scorers from last year — Rhys Duch (36 goals, 80 points), Tyler Digby (22 goals, 58 points), Lew-is Ratcliff (23 goals, 55 points) and Cliff Smith

(19 goals, 45 points).They are joined by

off-season acquisi-tions Johnny Powless and Joel McCready, who came over from the Rochester Knight-hawks in a blockbuster trade at the NLL draft.

The Stealth’s top four forwards from last sea-son combined for 100 goals and 238 points in 70 games, 3.4 points per game among the quartet. By compari-son, Powless (30 goals, 53 points) and Mc-

Cready (14 goals, 29 points) had 44 goals and 82 points in 28 games, averaging just a half point less com-bined per game.

The other new for-ward is Caleb Wiles.

At the transition po-sition, Tyler Garrison, Ilija Gajic and Justin Salt return for another season, and they are joined by Tyler Hass, Mitch McMichael and Brandon Clelland.

Garrison took the majority of the face-offs in 2013, winning 44.9 per cent of his draws (176 won versus 216 lost). He also led the team with 106 loose balls and forced a team-high 36 forced turn-overs.

McMichael missed all of last season, Hass was acquired via trade and Clelland was the team’s third round pick (21st overall) in 2014.

The defence — which will be without captain Kyle Sorenson for the entire year after off-season knee surgery — returns Curtis Hodgson, Bradley Kri and Chris O’Dougherty. The team also picked up Tyler Burton and Rory Smith.

Hodgson will serve as captain (see page 22).Tyler Richards and Eric Penney make up the

goaltending tandem.Richard was 4-8 in 2013 with a 12.01 goals

against average and a .760 save percentage.The practice squad consists of Kyle Belton — a

local Langley homegrown product — Conrad Chapman and Matt Delmonico.

Belton and Chapman play transition while Del-monico is a forward.

Chapman was picked 12th overall in the last draft and Delmonico was 30th overall. Belton was acquired from New England.

The team also has a new head coach as Dan Perreault was promoted to head coach after Chris Hall stepped down.

“The hard work and intensity we have seen throughout camp will make for a very exciting on-fl oor product,” Locker said.

“We are counting the days to get going.”The team opens the NLL season on Jan. 3 in Cal-

gary against the Roughnecks. They play their home opener at the Langley

Events Centre on Jan. 10 when the Toronto Rock come to town.

It’s the day after Christmas and all through the house, wrapping paper scatters the floor, the fridge is stocked with leftovers and families often wonder what comes next?

If you are looking for something exciting and dif-ferent to keep the fun of the holidays going right to the finish line, Fraser Downs in Cloverdale has live harness racing events on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

Head down to the track and enjoy an afternoon of fun filled with food and friends. This year, finish off 2014 with a chance at a big win, because who says the gifts have to end after Christmas?

At the Fraser Downs racing event, guests have a chance to win a big screen TV. Entry ballots will be in

the racing programs on Boxing Day, Sunday Dec. 28, and New Year’s Day. Guests can enter each time they visit Fraser Downs during those racing dates and the draw will be held during the second half of the race card on New Year’s Day.

This year, choose Fraser Downs as the perfect place to round out the season by watching some ex-hilarating races and continuing to share in the spirit of giving back.

Fraser Downs has always been a big supporter of the Cloverdale and Surrey communities, and this year, one of the racehorse owners will be donating all the winnings that his horse “Buddy’s Hope” earns in December to the Surrey Food Bank. Fraser Downs and Harness Racing BC have even teamed up to

match those earnings; it’s racing for a good cause!The first race begins each day at 12:45 p.m., and

on Boxing Day, Learn to Wager Ambassadors will be on hand to help guests understand how to read the program and the tote board, what the odds mean and how to place different types of wagers. Families are always welcome but guests must be 19 years of age or older to place a wager.

As always, there is a heated, enclosed grandstand, with an ever-popular buffet that overlooks the race-track.

With Boxing Day and New Year’s Day just ahead, it’s the homestretch of the holidays and there is no better place to be than at the races.

Visit www.fraserdowns.com to learn more.
