Langley City fi refi ghters prepare to apply oxygen to a cat rescued from a second-fl oor apartment fi re in a multi-family building on Monday afternoon.

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

A fi re in a second-fl oor unit of a multi-fami-ly residential building forced the evacuation of residents Monday after-noon.

No serious injuries were reported in the fi re at the Linwood Place complex on 55A Avenue near 200 Street.

At least three fi re ve-hicles, three police cars and one ambulance responded at around 3 p.m.

Police said many of the suites were unoccupied because the building was undergoing asbestos removal.

Offi cers had to order about a half dozen resi-dents, who were ignor-ing the fi re alarm and smoke smell, to leave the building.

Firefi ghters could be seen using a pet oxygen mask on two cats re-moved from the build-ing. Some ferrets were also treated.

A fundraising cam-paign by Mountain View Veterinary Hospital equipped the Langley City and Township and Abbotsford fi re depart-ments with the pet oxy-gen mask kits last year.

It is the fi rst time the kits have been used by the fi re department.

After losing their 15-year-old daughter and sis-ter, Lidia, in a single-vehicle crash near Mission March 6, Langley’s Ramos family is now dealing with another sudden and tragic death.

Lidia’s cousin, Shaun Sutton, 24, was killed last Thursday in a sep-arate collision at the in-tersection of 16 Avenue and 197A Street, report-edly while on his way to visit his grieving aunt, Angela, who is Lidia’s mother.

Police were called at 5:30 p.m. on March 10 for what appeared to be a rear-end collision between a Ford Mus-tang and a Dodge Ram pickup truck. The east-bound Mustang had stopped at 197A Street to make a left hand turn and was rear-ended by a Dodge pickup truck, driven by a 21-year-old Surrey resident.

There were three occupants in the Mustang, in-cluding Sutton, who was sitting in the back seat.

He was killed on impact. “I don’t think he knew what happened because

he alway had his headphones in his ears and his music. It made him happy,” Sutton’s mother, Lei-lani, told CTV News.

“She (Sutton’s girlfriend) said she turned around and looked and he was gone.”

“I don’t know what my family has done so wrong that we are being (picked) off one by one,” Sutton’s family member Tanya Fincaryk wrote on a Gofundme page that is raising money to cover his funeral costs.

Residents who practise illegal dumping on farmland could soon be facing stiff-er penalties, as the Township of Langley starts a review of their current policies.

A motion by Coun. Petrina Arnason passed unanimously at Township council on March 7 to have staff review the best practices used in other municipalities and jurisdictions for illegal dumping. In the motion, Arnason requested that staff re-port back with potential policy changes to consider a shorter time frame for enforce-ment, stiffer fi nes and escalating fi nes based on length of non-compliance.

From a policy level, Arnason hopes to “send a clear message of deterrence” and to “undermine” the profi tability for those who take illegal waste and other soil prod-ucts onto their farmland.

Although illegal dumping is a problem across the region, Arnason said the Town-ship has the unique situation of being sur-rounded by 75 per cent agricultural lands, creating a large geographic area to moni-tor.

“I think this is really important to under-line that we are not inadvertently attract-ing soil deposits from other jurisdictions if our penalties are too lax,” she said.

“I think we need to seriously look at how we can contribute more of a penalty and disincentive so that this is not something that people are somewhat encouraged to do just because of the economics.”

Arnason’s motion complements the new anti-dumping strategy passed by council in April, 2015 that allots $250,000 towards lit-ter blitzes, tip lines, surveillance cameras and rewriting of existing regulations. This is mainly to target those who are dump-

ing garbage, construction waste and large items like sofas on the side of the road, Township director of public works Roeland Zwaag told The Times.

“That is different than this illegal dump-ing (in Arnason’s motion) which has to do with soil deposits (and) construction waste that gets fi lled on ALR land. So the two are not the same,” Zwaag said.

It is important to curb illegal dumpers to protect neighbouring properties and his-torical drainage patterns, Zwaag added.

“Without this bylaw — we’ve seen it over the years — people fi ll in low lying areas, wet areas, water courses, to improve their own land. But by doing so, are creating consequences for the neighbours and the drainage area,” he said.

Metro Vancouver is also working on a ini-tiative to create a regional strategy to com-bat illegal dumping, Coun. Bob Long said.

“I appreciate the fact that we’re going to check with other municipalities and ju-risdictions and I think that’s always really important when you’re looking at assess-ing fi nes and penalties and bylaws and so forth that affect a region,” Long said. “Be-cause if you’re lower than everybody else, well then that could be why you’re attract-ing business. But then at the same time, you don’t want to be too much higher than others, too. So having some kind of a gauge with what the neighbours are doing and other jurisdictions are doing is important.”

Coun. Charlie Fox said it is upsetting that people are illegally putting fi ll on proper-ties and are either “claiming ignorance” or showing “lack of concern” with riparian areas, streams and “fundamental use of farmland.”

“I think it is always good to visit this, and revisit it,” he said.

Township looks at increase in dumping fi nes


In response to a rising number of television and fi lm permit applications, the City of Langley is raising the fees it charges production companies to shoot on lo-cation.

Council gave preliminary approval to the new fee schedule on Monday.

The vote was unanimous.Among other things, the cost of a fi lm permit appli-

cation fee in Langley City has risen from a fl at $210 to a sliding scale that appears designed to discourage last-minute applications.

If a production company applies more than 10 days before fi lming, the cost of a fi lming permit application fee is $300.

If the application is made less than 10 days in ad-vance, the price rises to $500.

At the same time the new fee schedule would give student fi lmmakers a break, charging them $50.

Langley is a popular venue for production companies because they can claim an additional regional area tax credit of 12.5 per cent on top of existing incentives.

The tax break applies to productions east of 200 Street which makes Langley especially attractive because it is still relatively close to downtown production facilities.

City stats show the number of fi lm permits issued last year was nearly double the average at 28 and this year is on track to be even busier, with an average of two applications a week.

Film and TV production has skyrocketed in B.C. thanks to the dropping Canadian dollar that has made the province that much cheaper for U.S.companies.

City hikes fees for fi lm, TV productionsRaise in rates comes as response to sharp increase in fi lming activity

throughout the municipality

A building at the corner of 56 Avenue and 203 Street in the City of Langley was transformed into a Galaxy Burger joint for fi lming of the movie Super Buddies in 2012.

The question of whether there would be Sunday shopping in Langley residents’ future seemed to rest on whatever decision was made on the subject in Surrey.

Until it didn’t.Aldermen in the Township agreed to discuss

the possibility of a Sunday shopping referen-dum after one member of council mistakenly assumed that the subject would be voted on at the same time as a pool complex that was under consideration.

Previously, council had decided that a referen-dum on Sunday shopping would only be held if Surrey moved to keep stores open seven days a week.

When the proposal was shot down across the border, most of council considered the matter closed.

Since Delta had recently approved Sunday shopping, however, some aldermen said they’d be willing to consider the matter further, sug-gesting a decision could be made within the next few weeks.

In addition to a brawl at a pizza restaurant that resulted in the arrests of three women, one of the other big stories of the week in Langley was the anticipated infl ux of kittens to the local shel-ter.

“Any time now there will be hundreds of lit-ters,” an SPCA rep told the Times. “When the sea-son starts, we’ll get 20 kittens a week for the rest of the spring and summer.”

Adopting a kitten from the SPCA cost $3 in 1981. That was in addition to a $5 membership.

An anticipated abundance of kittens in need of homes, a piggery and fi sticuffs at a Langley pizza joint made the news this week in 1981.

One person was apprehended as a result of a Langley RCMP raid on a suspected clandestine drug lab that led to the shutdown of 202A Street in Langley Township on Thursday (March 10).

Police said offi cers removed an undisclosed quantity of chem-icals in glass containers from a house in the area of 202A Street between 74 Avenue and 74B Ave-nue.

The street was closed Thursday morning and again Thursday af-ternoon.

The CLEAR Team (Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Re-sponse) and the Explosives Dis-posal Unit were called in along with the Langley Township fi re department and the BC Ambu-lance service.

The Township fi re department reported it was called to the scene twice on Thursday and again on Friday morning to stand by in case offi cers needed decontamination.

So far, no charges have been laid.

Police said the investigation is continuing.

Anyone with information that might assist police is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

The B.C. government is preparing to increase penalties for drivers who pass school buses while children are getting on or off.

“We’ve had 14 children injured, thankfully none killed, in the last fi ve years,” said Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

“There are still far too many motorists who are not getting the message of just how important it is to slow down in school zones and certainly not pass a school bus when the lights are fl ashing.”

Stone said school districts and local govern-ments have been calling for increased penalties. Police in B.C. have issued 1,100 tickets for failing to stop for a school bus for the past fi ve years, with 14 injuries during that time.

The current B.C. penalty is $167 fi ne and three demerit points, the same as disobeying a school crossing guard.

In Ontario, a fi rst offence of passing a school bus results in a fi ne of $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points, and a second within fi ve years can result in a fi ne of up to $4,000 and up to six months in jail.

New Brunswick has a $1,000 fi ne and loss of driver’s licence for every school bus offence.

“I’m losing my faith and don’t know what to say or feel, I am feeling lost.

“So many people have already helped for Lid-ia Ramos, I am now asking you if you can please help my sister Leilani with paying to give her baby boy, her last one, a good funeral.”

The driver of the Ram and the other occupants of the Mustang sustained only minor injuries in Thursday’s crash.

The Integrated Collision Reconstruction Ana-lyst Team was called to assist with the investiga-tion. Langley RCMP said alcohol is not believed to be a factor. Police continue to investigate to see if charges will be recommended or not.

Any witnesses who haven’t already spoken to police are asked to call Langley RCMP at 694-532-3200.

Right now, there are rules on the books that require over-sized or over-weight commercial trucks to get per-mits before they drive on local Lang-ley City roads.

The problem, according to a City staff review, is those requirements aren’t being enforced by the provin-cial ministry of transportation and because of that, many haulers don’t bother getting permits.

As a result, the municipality doesn’t know exactly how many big-ger-than-usual trucks are rumbling along City streets and how much wear and tear is being infl icted to mu-nicipally-owned roads.

“It’s a cumulative effect,” said Coun.

Paul Albrecht.Albrecht moved a staff-rec-

ommended resolution at council that calls on the pro-vincial government to enforce a requirement to obtain per-mits from local jurisdictions that are supposed to apply to provincially-issued trans-port vehicle permits for over-height, weight and width ve-hicles.

Without accurate informa-tion about the extent of such truck traffi c, Langley City and other B.C. municipalities cannot “reason-ably control such road use and cover costs for road maintenance associat-ed with excessive loads,” the resolu-tion says.

The vote was unanimous in favour.

The motion, which will be submitted to the Union of BC Municipalities for approv-al, says the province should “review its regulation cover-ing transport vehicle permits and make changes such that obtaining local jurisdiction vehicle permits is enforced (and) that the hauling com-panies must communicate and receive local jurisdiction

approval to drive on local roads.”It also says the province should

streamline the permit process so haulers only have to make one appli-cation to get permits to travel through multiple jurisdictions.

Rumours of the West-ern Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants moving to the Langley Events Centre contin-ue to circulate. And a recent visit from Ron Toigo has done little to quell them.

The Vancouver Gi-ants owner was seen at the LEC on March 5 during the Vancouver Stealth National La-crosse League game.

The LEC was also hosting three provin-cial high school bas-ketball championships that night, which could have allowed him to see how the facility operates when hosting multiple events.

Toigo was not avail-able for an interview when contacted by the Langley Times.

But he did talk about the relocation rumours when he spoke on the radio on March 4.

“(The LEC) is a beau-tiful building,” he said on TSN 1040’s After-noon Show.

“The size is just the thing we are question-ing, whether we can make it work at that size with the overhead we run.”

The LEC has capacity for 5,276 spectators.

The Giants do have some history with the LEC, having played six games at the venue in

2010 when the team was displaced during the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.

Vancouver also played a pre-season game here last Sep-tember, and that game left an impression as more than 1,900 fans came out to watch.

“That kind of opened our eyes; that is pret-ty good support for an exhibition game,” Toigo said.

By comparison, the Giants had 536 fans for one home pre-season game and 354 for their other at the Pacifi c Col-iseum. With one home game remaining in the season, Vancouver is averaging 5,050 fans per home game. Last

year, that number was 5,815 per game.

Toigo hasn’t ruled anything out and ad-mitted it would be dif-fi cult to leave the Col-iseum,where the team has played since enter-ing the WHL in 2001, including winning a Memorial Cup as the top Canadian junior hockey team in 2006.

He did say that play-ing in Surrey — at a proposed 5,000-seat rink to be built by the Scott Road SkyTrain Station — would be the team’s fi rst choice.

The proposal was shelved by Surrey city council.

“At the end of the day, that would be the best scenario overall,”

Toigo said. “(But) that is not in the cards for now.”

“We are still work-ing with the Coliseum to try and see if we can make things work there, but we have a ways to go,” he said.

“We can’t carry on with the way things have been the last few years.”

He acknowledged that a better on-ice product is crucial to the team’s success.

“At the end of the day, people want to see a team win and they want to be entertained and we haven’t done a lot of that lately.”

The Giants did not qualify for the playoffs this season.

Langley’s James Malm suited up for the Vancouver Giants in a WHL pre-sea-son game at the Langley Events Centre in September. The team is rumoured to be interested in playing at the LEC full-time.

Time for an end to sexist dress codesIt’s about time the skimpy

outfi ts that have come to typify uniforms for female food service workers have come under a bit of public scrutiny.

On March 8 — International Women’s Day — the Ontario Hu-man Rights Commission called for an end to sexualized work-place dress codes that discrim-inate against women.

Take a moment and you’ll likely have no trouble thinking of any number of places where male employees walk around in dress pants and collared shirts, while the women all seem to be wearing low-cut tops and skirts that could double as wide belts in an emergency.

Far from the only (or even the worst) offender, Vancouver-based Earls restau-rant took quick action to remedy the situation, announcing that female em-ployees can now wear slacks to work if they choose. And for that, the company should be commended.

But it begs the question of why they ever stopped allowing them the choice.

When it comes to women’s restau-rant attire, I can’t help but feel like we’re moving backward.

Twenty fi ve years ago, things were dif-ferent and, from my perspective at least, better.

That’s right — you have before you, a former Earls girl.

It’s hard to recall exactly, con-sidering I was hired in the fall of 1990, but I can only assume that one of my fi rst orders of business upon getting the job was to run out and purchase a couple pairs of the comically high-waisted jeans that were all the rage back then (today, we call them ‘mom’ jeans), several white dress shirts and as many ugly ties as I could

reasonably afford on a post-university budget.

Such were the guidelines that I and all my co-workers — men and women alike — were required to follow. Yes, it was a dress code, but it didn’t discriminate by gender.

It was in the ties that we were en-couraged to let our personalities shine through — the louder and more colour-ful, the better.

Surrounded by a prismatic menagerie of parrots, Albino rhinos, chickens, pigs, and sundry other paper maché livestock, it was the one way we had to stand out amidst the crazy decor.

The best part, though, was our foot-wear. It was the early ’90s, so it should come as no surprise that we were all running around in sturdy black Doc Mar-tens.

In addition to being recommended by four out of fi ve podiatrists, the shoes had the added bonus of thick, grippy soles.

Of course, even these offered no guar-antee you wouldn’t occasionally fall on your denim-covered butt and watch helplessly as steamed baby potatoes rolled under tables — and between din-ers’ feet — from where you would then have to gracefully retrieve them (or, you know, so I assume).

It’s no mystery why restaurants and pubs want female employees to dress in revealing clothing and high heels. It has everything to do with the bottom line — and a lot to do with money, too.

None of this is to say women shouldn’t wear short skirts, low-cut tops or even push-up bras to work, if that’s what makes them happy.

But it shouldn’t be a job requirement.I can’t imagine any woman saying to

herself, “You know what would make this six-hour shift — all of which I spend on my feet — just that little bit more en-joyable?” Three-inch heels.

Waiting tables is hard work, as anyone who has ever done it will tell you. So it’s not much to ask that employees be al-lowed to be comfortable — both physi-cally and emotionally — in the process.

And for some servers, that might not include being looked at like they’re the dessert.

The provincial government made itself a target for the fl ak it’s receiving for doing away with a $45/year bus pass for the disabled.

For the fi rst time in nine years, the province did boost disability benefi ts by $77 per month.

But those who want to keep their bus pass will get to keep just a third of that hike, because they will now have to shell out $52 each month for transit.

It’s understandable that advocates for the dis-abled are upset about the move, since those who want to keep their bus pass will reap just $25 each month — a sum that does little to help keep up with ever-escalating costs.

The government says altering the bus pass pro-gram was done in the name of fairness for those who don’t use transit.

But equality is rarely best served by taking away assistance for those who need a bit of extra help.

Thousands of disabled people rely on transit to access programs, visit family and friends, and get to work.

Ramping up the cost of a bus pass by more than 1,300 per cent annually will likely deter some from moving around town.

That is good neither for the individuals con-cerned, nor for society at large, which benefi ts when all its members feel included and have op-portunity to contribute.

For the province, the costs of the pass are min-imal, as the $20 million price tag for the BC Bus Pass program is minuscule in terms of a multi-bil-lion-dollar budget.

If the province is concerned about equity for those in rural areas who can’t take the bus, it might want to consider how it can help those men and women, rather than withdraw a benefi t for others.

The government’s efforts would be better spent ensuring disability benefi ts keep up with rising costs, rather than, as one advocate put it, giving with one hand and taking away with the other.

Editor: It seems to me that I see more and more criticism of the planning around the Town-ship in your letters section.

Please accept another one.I remember there were some

major land development issues regarding the Township selling big parcels of land around Trini-ty Western University, and, more recently, the announcement that a new overpass will be built at 216 Street to service this area.

Someone will be getting very rich when this is all done.

Do the development charges

that the Township charges when housing is built take into ac-count all the problems that will be apparent when this is in full swing?

It sure did not in the planning around the Gloucester industrial park.

Who will pay for public schools in this area?

Who will pay for the necessary road improvements?

Who will pay for extra police and fi re protection?

We have the most aggravating traffi c problems here and a ri-

diculously inadequate overpass at 264 Street, which was built in 1962 and likely will crumble in an earthquake.

Yet, by seeing all the survey work around TWU and the free-way, I believe a new overpass there is a done deal.

It is also apparent to me that already choked traffi c near 216 Street and Glover Road will get worse.

Gloucester was built around fi ve-acre parcels with no avail-able family housing close by, one school that has since been closed

and, most importantly, no public transportation anywhere close, so workers cannot get to their jobs if they do not have a vehicle.

It was interesting to note that a golf course and a park were part of the original plan, but neither was built.

56 Avenue is a very dangerous strip of roadway.

The only way some of these big trucks (some may be close to half a city block long) can get onto this strip is just to pull out in front of cars.

This is not good planning.

Sometimes I think high school students could do a better job of planning, and their exper-tise would come a heck of a lot cheaper.

I encourage everyone to take their complaints about the plan-ning process to Township hall, and encourage them to listen for once to the people, not to their developer pals and to the mu-nicipal council who is only con-cerned about collecting develop-ment fees.

Editor: I am writing in response to the arti-cle entitled ‘A whole new (virtual) world’ (The Times, March 11).

I would like to voice some concerns I have with the new “Google Cardboard devices” that were recently tested out at Simonds El-ementary and Lochiel U-Connect last week.

I do see that these new devices are extraor-dinary, in that they are able to give students a 360 degree view of a given area that is phys-ically out of reach, however, I believe that there are problems associated with this new device.

Who will have access to these devices — private schools — public schools?

A device that allows the viewer to physically interact with the virtual space by turning his/her body or head cannot be cheap. If schools in the district have enough fi nancial resourc-es to be able to afford these devices then I believe that they should also have enough money to raise funds for schools in poverty stricken areas that are still struggling to fund breakfast programs for their students.

Furthermore, I believe that the images pro-vided in these Google cardboard devices will give kids a picture perfect view of a not so picture perfect world.

The article makes clear that Google is will-ing to fi ll these devices with worldly images, such as breath taking views of the pyramids in Egypt, but I do not believe that the Google devices will ever show images of other, not-so-pretty worldly spectacles, such as the im-ages available of the Egyptian riots in 2011.

I am worried that the images Google de-cides to install in these devices will give North American students a skewed idea of what is really going on in the world.

These devices should open up our students’ eyes to worldly events, not fi ll them further with ideologically infused images.

KELSEY ANN OSKAM,

LANGLEY

Editor: World Tuberculosis Day is March 24.

Could we truly eradicate tu-berculosis? I am hoping that the answer to this question lies with-in us and that with a fresh new federal government in power, we might be able to persuade the Ca-nadian public to consider a world without this age old disease.

It is tempting to think that this does not affect us in Canada, however, in the far north, it is still a huge problem.

Given that one person with TB can infect 10 to 15 others within a year, it behooves us to do some-thing about this.

This year’s World Tuberculo-sis Day will be marked with the unfortunate distinction that we have now allowed this prevent-able, curable disease to become the world’s biggest communica-ble killer.

On World TB Day, let us consid-er what each one of us might be able to do to push in the right di-rection. To quote lead singer Bono of U2: “Because we can, we must!”

Does Google offer skewed view?

Grade 7 student Kolya Lozowchuk laughs at a gorilla in the jungle from within his Google Card-board virtual reality set. This was just one of several virtual fi eld trips students were able to take when the Google Expedition Pioneer Tour came to Simonds Elementary and Lochiel U-Connect on March 4. The visit was part of a series of pilot tests being done at schools around the world for the new education product. Writer Kelsey Oskam worries the devices will be costly and offer students an inaccurate depiction of the world, making it seem ‘picture perfect,’ when it is not.

Abbotsford March 18 & 19Western Canada’s LARGEST Sewing & Crafting Event is Back!


Norman Rolston’s Order of B.C. Medal was found last week and returned to the Langley senior. The medal was reported-ly found in a women’s bathroom at Cascades Casino.

A thief broke into Rolston’s Langley City apartment around noon on Wednes-day, March 2. Rolston wasn’t home at the time. The robber took a metal box that con-tained several medals and watches that are precious to Rolston and would have lit-tle value to a thief. Rolston is the inventor of the Able Walker, the wheeled walker that helps seniors with mo-bility.

Township of Langley council has selected its top fi ve priorities for 2016.

In the number one spot is the creation of a public communication report and strategies, followed by the com-

pletion of an updated Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan, the formation and support of a Truth and Recon-ciliation Task Force, the completion of a parking bylaw review

and the completion of a service capacity re-view.

The topics were se-lected during a strate-gic planning workshop held in January.

Township staff will

use this list as a guide in the development of work plans.

Council’s priorities were divided into three categories: now, next/later and advocacy.

In the next/later cat-

egory are fi ve more topics: Metro Vancou-ver relations, Alder-grove downtown revi-talization, Aldergrove Community Plan, an expression of interest for a music and lec-

ture facility and terms of reference for a pro-tective services master plan.

In the advocacy cate-gory are the 16 Avenue corridor, an OIC/land use bylaw alignment, a

216 Street interchange and the 208 Street overpass.

As the top fi ve pri-orities are completed, they will be replaced by issues in the two lower categories.

Township council sets its top fi ve priorities for 2016

The Rotary Club of Aldergrove and the Lions Club of Alder-grove are receiving a combined $20,500 in support from the province’s community gaming grant program.

• Lions Club of Alder-grove: $12,000

• Rotary Club of Al-dergrove: $8,500

“The funds we re-ceive through the gaming division of the provincial gov-ernment allow us to help children improve their literacy skills in partnership with local schools,” said Rota-ry Club of Aldergrove Treasurer Gus Hartl.

“The funds also al-low us to participate in much-needed com-munity enhancement projects, making our community a better place to live for all.”

“The money re-ceived from the gam-ing branch will go to humanitarian needs and services in the Al-dergrove community,” said Lions Club of Al-dergrove treasurer Tom Latter.

“Our assistance in-cludes providing food hampers, eyeglasses and hearing aids to in-dividuals facing chal-lenges. Those families and individuals with challenges are given an opportunity to go to one of the spon-sored Lions’ summer camps. We do our best to make pride, satis-faction and a smile our goal. We take seriously our motto: ‘We Serve.’

“I am very pleased Al-dergrove’s Rotary Club and Lions Club have received this funding; these organizations add great value to our community through their service,” said Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman.

Making rap videos isn’t usually in the BC SPCA staff repertoire, but when you are caring for 66 rescued pups and dogs, you have to get creative.

Staff at the Vancou-ver BC SPCA have cre-ated a rap video show-casing the seized dogs they are calling the “Langley 66”.

Staff wanted to ‘un-leash their inner tal-

ents, while also al-lowing everyone the opportunity to get up close and person-al with just a few of the special faces from the seized puppy mill dogs,’ writes the SPCA.

The video called the “Langley 66” on You-Tube, has been viewed more than 5,500 times.

Less than two weeks ago, 22 of the 66 were cleared for adoption.

A Burmese moun-tain dog was the fi rst to fi nd its forever home on Thursday, said an SPCA repre-sentative.

Since then fi ve more of the Langley 66 have been adopted.

Dozens of people have expressed inter-est in adopting the rescued dogs, but the

canines all have spe-cial needs and require owners who can work with those health and emotional issues that have come from living in terrible conditions in a puppy mill.

When the dogs were seized from the rural Langley home they were suffering from broken bones and infections, some are missing an eye or an ear.

They had been living in tiny cages with no heat.

The people alleged to have operated the puppy mill have yet to be named or charged. The SPCA is sending r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s to Crown counsel for cruelty charges against the pair.

Rapping for Rover

Video capture from BC SPCA’s rap video for the

‘Langley 66.’ The agency has been caring for dozens

of dogs seized from a Langley

puppy mill on Feb. 4. As the

animals recover physically, the

SPCA is hoping to fi nd appropriate homes for them.

SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND?

Looking for some-thing fun to do with your family this Easter long weekend?

Join the Langley Cen-tennial Museum at 9135 King St. in Fort Langley for the second annual Bunnies & Bas-kets event.

The egg-citing event runs on Saturday, March 26 from 10 a.m. to noon and again from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 pm. Cost of the event is $10 for a family of four.

Activities include a scavenger egg hunt in the History Gallery, where participants can try to fi nd all the eggs that Peter Rabbit has hidden.

There will also be a variety of arts and crafts projects that families can build and create together, in-cluding Easter baskets, rabbit masks, and egg painting and dyeing. There will be live bun-nies to pet, relay rac-es, and word from the carrot patch is that the Easter Bunny will also make an appearance.

“Last year was the very fi rst year the mu-seum hosted this event and it was a huge suc-cess,” said Township of Langley Arts and Cul-ture Programmer Mag-gie Lukban.

“We had six stations set up around the mu-seum, so there were lots of creative oppor-tunities for busy little hands. The petting zoo was a popular attrac-tion and families en-joyed having various activities they could complete at their own pace. This event had a morning and after-noon session and both sold out. You will not want to miss the fam-ily friendly event, so register early.”

To register or for more information about these programs or any other programs and events Langley Centennial Museum offers call 604-532-3536 or visit museum.tol.ca.

A young visitor came nose to nose with a rabbit at the Langley Centennial Mu-seum’s Easter celebration last year. Organizers recommend that anyone who wants to register for this year’s celebration be quick as a bunny in doing so.

Our modern world is constantly disturb-ing our physical and emotional wellbeing with noise and activity. Smart phones and our electronic devices con-stantly interrupt us with texts, beeps, updates and calls. Stress at work, at home and on the road, with traffi c delays and constant internal and external noise fi ght with our personal need for peace, healing and wellness. Some-times it feels almost impos-sible to fi nd a place where you can literally quiet your mind, and allow your mus-cles and body to relax.

Imagine fi nding a perfect way to achieve profound relaxation, meditation and wellness.

Float House is the premier fl oat facil-ity in British Columbia and we are over-joyed to bring this unique experience to

the Langley Community.

Floating has incredible benefi ts forthe mind (suppressing the sympathetic nervous system to promote relaxation;

heightened senses; increased stress resistance; brain syn-chronization) and physical benefi ts (pain management;increased immune function; enhanced healing; improved sleep; ease of muscle sore-ness).

Floating is a great additionto your meditation practice, holistic lifestyle, physical therapy and overall healthy lifestyle.

Floating is a practice whereyou enter into a fl oat tank(also called an isolation tank or sensory deprivation tank)which is a well-engineered

enclosed tub fi lled with 11” of water that has 900 lbs. of dissolved Epsom salts in it.The individual lies down in the water and fl oats effortlessly in the nude. The water isheated to the same temperature as the sur-

combination of epsomsalts, rest

Q: Can I install Vinyl Planking over an existing fl oor.

A: One of the evolutions of the do-it- yourself industry has been the creation of easy-to-use and easy-to-install products, such as vinyl plank fl ooring. Similar to laminate plank fl ooring, it is a wood look- alike product that is much easier to install but still provides durability and fl exibility. Unlike tile fl oors, which have a very specifi c series of underlayment requirements, vinyl plank fl oors can be installed over existing fl ooring so long as it is clean of debris, in good repair and completely fl at.

face of your skin so that when the water settles and you remain relaxed and still, you do not really feel the water anymore. The tank is light-proof, sound-proof and has a neutral smell.

All forces of gravity on the musculoskel-etal system and nervous system are elimi-nated from the extreme positive buoyancy; so imagine a space where you don’t feel, see or hear anything. The tank’s extremely unique environment is designed to allow for a minimal amount of sensory input to enter into your nervous system. This en-vironment then has a plethora of benefi ts and applications for health, personal de-velopment, spirituality, and well-being.

Having been a member of the Langley community for a number of years, the Float House Langley owner is excited to be able to improve and positively impact the lives of community members and to collaborate with the other Fort Langley businesses in promoting wellness within the community.

Float House Langley is proud to offer a beautiful, serene environment for mem-

bers to embrace the benefi ts of fl oating and relax post-fl oat in our lounge area. We provide everything our members need to have the best fl oating experience, includ-ing local and organic beauty products,towels and a vanity area where post-fl oat,you can get ready for the rest of your day.

To best serve our members, we offer multiple pricing options, making the ben-efi ts of fl oating accessible to anyone. Weare pleased to be offering a pre-openingspecial.

Education about the benefi ts of fl oat-ing is an integral part of our philosophy;if you would like to learn more about fl oating, you may visit our website www.fl oathouse.ca, fi nd us on Facebook and Instagram, or contact us by phone after opening day. Of course, once our doorsare open, we always welcome you into the centre for a tour. We look forwardto meeting you and guiding you through your fl oat experience.

Generational gap bridges childcare dilemma

Generational gap bridges childcare dilemmaKRISTYL CLARK

An increased employment rate among women and the corresponding dual-in-come earner families has had a signif-

icant impact on the need and type of childcare required.

According to the 2015 BC Child Care survey, 63 per cent of families in the province have a care arrangement provided by family members or rel-atives – 34 per cent rely on a centre-based child-care facility.

Finding the most appropriate childcare arrange-ment that balances the need between the over-all quality, convenience and availability can, at times, be challenging – not to mention, costly.

In Langley, many grandparents, even great grandparents, are stepping in to help their chil-dren and grandchildren to alleviate mounting childcare costs and provide fl exible care that can be diffi cult to fi nd in a formal daycare centres.

These men and women – many of whom are 60 plus – can often be spotted at the playground, keeping a watchful eye at a local Langley play centre – or in Marlene Metherel’s case, waiting for the school bell to ring and for the crowd of ener-getic youngsters to spill out into the schoolyard, including her grandchild.

Every Thursday and Friday afternoon, the 67-year-old member of the Red Hat Society leaves her White Rock home and heads to Langley Fine Arts to pick up her six-year-old granddaughter, Melania. She also takes her for a full day every Saturday.

With her daughter, Cindy, and son-in-law, Ter-rell, doing shiftwork, Metherel has been a regular

caregiver for her granddaughter since she was born.

“They needed the help – I didn’t think I’d be do-ing it for this long, but it has worked out really good for all of us,” said Metherel, who estimates she spends a minimum of 15 hours a week with her granddaughter.

“The way I look at it, I get the chance to be close to her… I worked full time when my kids were young and didn’t get the chance to spend as much time with them.”

School and extracurricular activities like karate occupies most of their time together during the week. On weekends, the pair head out to a local park, community event, or enjoy staying inside, snuggled up on the couch reading together.

“I watch for things that are going on like coun-try fairs… I’m going to be taking her to a live pro-duction at the Bell Centre soon. We have a lot of fun together.”

And while Metherel wouldn’t trade being a par-ent for anything in the world, she admits it’s a lot more fun to be a grandma.

“You don’t have the full responsibility and they go back to the parents again at the end of the day,” she laughed

When it comes to dishing out advice to fellow grandparents who are caring for school-aged children or considering lending a helping hand on a regular basis, Metherel keeps it simple and straightforward.

“You are not the parents anymore, so you can relax and enjoy them. From the grandparents I’ve met along the way, that’s exactly what they do.

Those early years go fast… take the time to love them. You’ll be creating special memories together.”

Marge Smith (at her request, Marge’s last name has been changed to pro-tect her privacy) shares Metherel’s sentiment about spending quality time with her grandchildren and has a similar care arrangement, multiplied by two.

The 80-year-old Langley City watches her two granddaughters, Baylee, 4, and Jordan, 6, every Monday as well as on the occasional weekend for a sleepover.

Smith says she’s happy to help minimize childcare costs, while getting to spend quality time with both granddaughters.

“You know how much day care costs these days? It’s just too unaffordable for many families with more than one child.”

Chasing after a preschooler, six-year-old, and sometimes – their family dog, is no easy feat – even for a young parent. To keep up with her two active granddaughters, Smith works out regularly at the gym.

“I’ve been going to the gym for many years,” she noted.

“I’m in fairy good shape. Nobody believes I’m 80. I don’t run with them, but we’ve gone on lots and lots of walks.”

And while the retired accountant is happy to help out with childcare when needed, she is fi rst and foremost a grandma.

“I’m so lucky to have so much time with them… they’re sort of growing up with me. And they’re such great children too. They never give me any problems.”

A post on the Langley Moms Facebook group asking participants to share their stories about their senior parents who help out with childcare on a consistent basis, resulted in a outpour of positive messages from grateful moms.

“My mom and dad are amazing!!” posted Kaylie Stratfford.

“They help out with the grandkids, don’t miss a soccer game or practice. They volunteer like crazy for the church and my mom is helping organize a women’s conference convention this summer. She has been planning it for over two years, and there are ladies coming from all over Canada.. My dad is a retired teacher and my mom is a retired infant/toddler educator for the Salvation Army. In addition to all their volunteer work and exponential grandparent duties, my mom takes care of my elderly grandmother who lives at Harrison Pointe and my dad is on the strata council at his Langley townhome.“

Another post was from a young mother of one, whose great grandmother is assisting her with her childcare situation.

“My mom is 71 and watches my daughter Friday after school until Monday morning… My “mom” is actually MY grandmother -- she raised me since I was two months old. Now she’s helping with my daughter who is her great grand daughter.”

Things to do in Langley With Your Grandchildren

One of the best parts of being a grand-parent is having more freedom to have fun. Here are just fi ve Langley hot spots sure to bridge the generational gap and keep boredom at bay without leaving town.

1 Blast to the Past – Go back in time with a trip to the Fort Langley Na-tional Historic Site, located at 23433 Mavis Ave. Together, you’ll learn how our ancestors once lived from histor-ical interpretors and try your hand at being a blacksmith or panning for gold.

2 See the Stars Under the Stars – Orig-inally introduced to North America in the early 30’s, the Twilight Drive-In movie theatre, located at 3350 260 St. in Aldergrove, has proven popu-lar with motorists for decades. And while most have vanished over the years, nearing extinction, the out-door entertainment trend is still as popular for all ages in the Fraser Val-ley.

3 Walk on the Wild Side – Check out the lions and tigers and bears, oh my at the Greater Vancouver Zoo, located at 5048 264th Street in Aldergrove,

4 Before the iPhone – Tell the kiddies to put down their iPhones, iPads and whatever gadget they have on hand, you’re all going to the Aldergrove Telephone Museum & Archives for a history lesson. This restored BC Telephone Company building, lo-cated at 3190 271 St. in Aldergrove, boasts a step-by-step switch display, which demonstrates how an antique switchboard would process a phone call.

5 Strong Start – This free drop-in pro-gram is for parents/caregivers and their children aged birth to fi ve years old. Children and families participate in early learning experiences that are designed to provide an opportunity to play, learn and grow together.

Those attending can expect to par-ticipate in organized sessions like sto-ry-time and play activities. Children are also provided with a healthy snack. There are currently nine locations in Langley. Visit www.sd35.bc.ca for more information.

M AGNOLI AG A R D E N S



She says it was “the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” and now, seven years after donating her kidney, Sheila Fraser is challenging others in Langley to step up and do the same.

By the end of 2016, Fraser hopes 25,000 residents will join the organ donor regis-try — whether as living do-nors or deceased — to help save the lives of hundreds of patients needing new kidneys, lungs, hearts and other vital organs.

According to BC Trans-plant, there are more than 500 British Columbians currently on the wait list for an organ transplant, and that need far out-weighs the number of organs available.

For kidneys alone, there are 448 people in B.C. on the wait list, including 12 people in Langley.

And with an average fi ve-year wait period for a transplant, some may pass away before they can get the surgery they need.

“That really hit home for me,” Fraser said.

Her transplant journey began nearly 20 years ago when a serious car acci-dent almost claimed her life.

Had it not been for “the kindness of strangers,” Fraser believes she may not have survived.

And although recov-ered now, a comment her mother made while she lay in a hospital bed made a permanent impact: “God kept you alive for a reason, pay if forward.”

Fraser had the opportu-nity to do so a few years later.

While working at the former Mikasa store in Langley, she learned that her co-worker’s husband desperately needed a kid-

ney transplant, but could not fi nd a match.

Although she did not know Cheryl Almeida’s husband, Joe, Fraser decid-ed to take a blood test to see if they were compat-ible.

She was shocked with the results.

“We were a perfect match,” she said.

“I found out on Christ-mas Eve and I called them and said, ‘Merry Christmas, we are a perfect match.’”

In May, 2009 they had the surgery. Their kidneys matched so well, even today Joe’s anti-rejection drugs — which all trans-plant recipients must take — are the lowest dose available.

“It was all meant to be,” Fraser said.

“It was the best thing I could have ever done.”

Not only was the surgery relatively painless — Fra-ser spent only two days in hospital and was back at work in just two weeks — she has also gained a new extended family in Cheryl, Joe, their daughter, and even Joe’s family mem-bers in Portugal, who sent

prayer cards to Fraser throughout the process.

Today, Fraser is continu-ing to “pay it forward” by raising awareness and funding for organ trans-plants in B.C.

With March offi cially marked kidney health awareness month, Fraser and her husband, Murray, are hosting a fundraiser and awareness night at The Fort Pub this Saturday (March 19).

Although the $25 burger and beer tickets are sold

out, there is room to join for the entertainment and additional fundraising ac-tivities, including a toonie toss and silent auction.

Live music will be per-formed by award winning musician Trevor McDonald.

The pub night is the fi rst fundraiser leading up to a Kidney walk being planned in Langley for the fall.

In addition to adding 25,000 more Langley resi-dents to the donor regis-try — there are currently

23,651 Langley residents who have registered their decision — the Frasers are also hoping to raise $25,000.

“It’s to get awareness out there for people to sign up to become an organ donor,” Fraser said.

“Imagine if you died in a tragic car accident, but your eyes and heart can live on in someone else.”

Turning trash into treasure

Some people look at discarded items and thrown-out materials and see trash.

Others are inspired by their shape, texture, and colour and — with a little resourcefulness — can transform them into something useful and attractive.

“It’s not garbage: it just needs a new idea,” said Shirley Fralick, an artist from south Langley.

“You just have to use your imagination and look at it out of context from what it really is. A box of nuts and bolts aren’t just nuts and bolts — they are circles and octagons that can be used to create art. That’s the fun part.”

For the past two years, Fralick, who uses found items such as glass, stone, jewelry, and dishes to create mosaics, has been participating in the Upcycling Design Challenge. Launched by the Township of Langley and the Langley Arts Council in 2013, the event inspires residents to become eco-artists and use waste material des-tined for the landfi ll to make something new.

The fourth annual Upcycling Design Challenge will be held this April at Willowbrook Shopping Center.

In the very fi rst challenge, Fralick submitted a window made out of tempered glass and chandelier crystals. In 2014, she won third prize for “Grandma’s Dishes,” fashioned from stained glass, crystal coasters, old crystal dishes, and vintage mason jar lids. Last year, she created an eye-catching red fl ower made from a ceiling fan and broken car taillights.

Krista Daniszewski, Langley Township’s Sus-tainability Programs Specialist, encourages resi-dents to follow Fralick’s lead and try their hands at creating something for this year’s challenge.

“The amount of waste thrown away each day is staggering. We are overusing our resources and fi lling up our landfi lls at an incredible rate,” she said.

“The Upcycling Design Challenge aims to remind people that, with a little creativity, what was old can be new again — perhaps even better than it once was.”

The Challenge is open to anyone aged 10 and up, and entries must be made from at least 75 per cent found or recovered material.

Deadline for submissions is Saturday, April 9, and entries will be displayed at Willowbrook Shopping Centre from Tuesday, April 19 to Sun-day, May 1.

Prize categories include Best in Show, Most Practical, Best Use of Material (clothing), and Best Youth. The public is invited to view the ex-hibit and vote for their favourite in the People’s Choice Award.

Cash and prizes valued at $1,300 will be award-ed and winners will be announced at a reception on Thursday, April 28, from 6 – 9 p.m.

For more information, visit tol.ca/upcycling or call 604.532.7300.

On the heels of a successful tour to Ottawa and New York City, the choirs of Trinity Western University are presenting Sacred Space, a pair of concerts in Surrey and Abbotsford on March 18 and 19.

They will perform with the student and community orchestra of TWU’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture.

With music ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary Canadian works, Sacred Space was conceived as a meditative and meaningful preparation for Easter.

Distinguished soprano Alison Nystrom, a voice instructor at TWU, is the featured soloist in this award-winning oratorio by Toronto-based composer Allan Bevan.

The March 18 performance takes place at Fleetwood Christian Reformed Church, 9165 160 St. in Surrey, and the March 19 performance is at Bakerview Church, 2285 Clearbrook Rd. in Abbotsford.

Both concerts start at 7:30 p.m. For tickets, visit twu.ca/samc or phone 604-513-2173.

Credo Christian Kodiaks’ Levi Leyenhorst goes up for the shot as Ron Pettigrew Christian Lions’ Mej Fernandez ducks for cover during the B.C. senior boys 1A provincial championship gold medal game at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday afternoon.Leyenhorst was forced to sit for much of the fi rst half with foul trouble and the Kodiaks could not recover, losing 69-58. The second-place fi nish marks an all-time best for the Credo Christian senior boys basketball program. Leyenhorst earned a provincial fi rst team all-star award for his play.The Kodiaks senior girls also medaled at provincials, claiming bronze on the weekend at Duncan Christian (see page 27 for more).

GARY AHUJALangley Times


The Credo Christian Kodiaks had no answer for the Cinderella story of the Ron Pettigrew Christian Lions.

The Kodiaks hung tough in the fi rst quarter of Saturday’s B.C. 1A senior boys provincial basketball championship fi nal at the Langley Events Centre, but foul trouble and some poor shooting did in Credo Christian as they fell 69-58.

The Lions were the tournament’s seventh seed and knocked off both the second-seed in the quarter-fi -nals, the third-seed in the semifi -nals and the fourth-seed Kodiaks in the championship fi nal to become the fi rst boys basketball team at any level from Dawson Creek to win a provincial championship.

The only top seed not on their list was the No. 1 ranked Kelowna Christian Knights, who fell in Fri-day’s semifi nals to Credo Christian.

In the championship fi nal, the fi rst quarter was close with the Lions taking a 15-10 lead after 10 minutes. But in the second quarter, the Lions seized control with a 23-9 burst for the 38-19 advantage.

The Kodiaks chipped away, cutting the lead from 19 to 13 after three quarters, but Credo Christian could not get the lead down to single dig-its.

Foul problems played a huge fac-tor as Credo’s Levi Leyenhorst — a fi rst team all-star — had to go to the bench in the second quarter with three fouls.

Total fouls were 18 for Credo Christian compared to just four for

the Lions.“(Foul trouble) hurt us a bit, but

that is how the game goes,” said Ko-diaks coach Justin Vanderploeg, who also picked up a technical foul late in the fourth quarter for asking the referees to call the game the same way for both teams.

“Fouls weren’t in our favour, but that’s fi ne, you get some and you lose some, that happens, that’s bas-ketball,” he said.

Credo Christian advanced to the fi nal after a huge second-half rally the day before, turning a 31-26 defi -cit into a 62-57 win over Kelowna Christian, the Knights fi rst loss all season against a 1A school.

That win assured the Kodiaks of a top-two fi nish, a best-ever for the senior boys basketball program. They had twice before placed fourth in the province, including last sea-son.

“It is a step in the right direction,” he said. “Until we win it, it is just another step. But it was nice to see the hard work pay off and get to the fi nals.”

“And I think it means a lot for the school.”

Vanderploeg admitted it is almost nicer to win the bronze medal game rather than lose the gold-medal championship fi nal.

“My guys are mature, they han-dled (the loss) well,” he said. “After tonight, they will start remembering the nice moments of the season, the hard work they put in.”

In addition to Leyenhorst, Credo’s Dustin Flokstra was named a fi rst team all-star.

Back-to-back titles for Lightning

Silver lining


One year after winning the fi rst provincial bas-ketball banner in school history, the Langley Chris-tian Lightning have done it again.

And while last year’s tournament title required a second-half rally, there was never any doubt this time around.

The senior girls basket-ball team crushed the com-petition, winning their four games by an average score of 75-29 to capture their second consecutive B.C. 1A provincial basketball ban-ner.

The Lightning defeated

Agassiz 83-37 in Saturday’s championship fi nal held at Duncan Christian School.

“Our goal was defi nitely to bring (the title) home,” said Langley Christian coach Danielle Gardner.

“We played hard ev-ery single game and they worked hard as a team.

“And it was a team win: different people stepped up every game.”

In the team’s four victo-

ries, a different player was the leading scorer in each contest.

In the opener, a 78-4 de-struction of St. Andrew’s, Katelyn Mallette had 19 points while Natasha Dick-hof and Hannah Krepp each had 14.

Game two saw Ali Werge-land score a dozen points in the 66-26 defeat of Pem-berton.

The semifi nals saw the

Lightning ground their lo-cal Langley rivals, the Cre-do Christian Kodiaks, 74-50 behind 20 points from Tabitha Meier.

Credo would recover to win the bronze medal (see page 27).

The fi nal saw Krepp score 22 in the 83-37 win over Agassiz.

Wergeland picked up most valuable player hon-ours for a second straight

year.“She is a great player,”

Gardner said. “(Ali) got things done on

defence when we needed her to and stepped up in a leadership role.

“She gave it all every game and she has done so for the past for years play-ing for me.”

Krepp and Mallette were both named fi rst team all-stars.

SKILL TESTING QUESTION: 2 x 7 + 1 - 3 = ___________________________________

A burger and beer night takes place on Satur-day, March 19 in support of Liam Murray’s rugby exploits.

Murray, an elite rugby player, has been chosen to represent Canada in Ireland as part of a three-match tour with Canada’s under-18 squad.

They will play three games against Irish acad-emy sides.

“Three games in eight days will be challenging not only physically, but mentally and emotional-ly,” said head coach Dean Murten.

“I know (the opposition) will be highly skilled and play at a very fast pace. We as a staff and a team are excited to take on that challenge.”

Twenty-six players make up the Canadian side.“This is a massive part of the players’s devel-

opment and for some of the athletes the fi rst ex-posure to international rugby,” Murten said. “We can play and train as hard as we want in Canada but testing our skills, decision making and physi-cality against world class players is where we can learn the most.”

The team departs for Ireland on March 22 and fl ies back to Canada on April 3.

Walnut Grove Ga-tors’ Santhosh Nan-

dakumar fends off W.J. Mouat Hawks’

Jass Singh during the bronze medal

game at the B.C. 4A senior boys provin-cial championships

on Saturday night at the Langley Events

Centre. Nandakumar scored

31 points as the Gators rallied to

win 96-94. He was named a provincial

second team all-star while teammate

Jake Cowley was a fi rst team selection.

GARY AHUJA Langley Times


Things did not look good for the Walnut Grove Gators.

Trailing for much of the second half against the W.J. Mouat Hawks on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre, the Ga-tors found themselves down 88-81 with just a few minutes to play in the bronze medal game at the B.C. 4A senior boys basketball championships.

But it was a pair of graduating seniors who made their last

high school game count.

Santhosh Nan-dakumar hit one three-pointer to make it 88-84 and after the Hawks scored to go back up by six, he spotted up for another three-point attempt.

This time, his shot was blocked — which brought a huge roar from the Mouat sup-porters — but the ball went straight up in the air and landed right back in his hands. With his defender well out of position now — and with no hesitation

— Nandakumar calm-ly drained his second attempt from beyond the arc to pull his team within three points.

The Gators would tie the score at 90 with some free throws and after the Hawks went ahead 92-90, another Grade 12 player, Daniel Stead, hit his second three-pointer of the quarter to put Walnut Grove ahead for good, 93-92 with just over a minute to play.

The teams traded free throws to close the game with Walnut Grove prevailing 96-94.

“It was God’s grace that the ball fell back in my hands,” said Nandakumar.

The three-point-er gave the shooting guard 31 points for the game and for the tour-nament, he fi nished with an average of 24.25 points per game. Included in that was 21 made three-pointers.

For his efforts, he earned a provincial second team all-star award.

“We worked real-ly hard as a team and it feels great to fi n-ish with a medal with these guys,” he said.

“They gave me con-fi dence (all tourna-ment), told me to keep shooting.”

Walnut Grove was the fi fth seed at pro-vincials and beat West Vancouver 85-47 in their opener. In round two, they knocked off No. 4 Oak Bay 81-60.

And that set up a semifi nal showdown against the No. 1 Kelowna Owls.

Walnut Grove was down 45-31 at the

half before a mon-ster third-quarter saw them take the lead 59-55 after three quarters. But the Owls — who did not lose to any Ca-nadian competition all season — would recov-er to win 86-71 and go on to capture the pro-vincial title with an 86-72 win over No. 2 Tamanawis.

K e l o w n a ’ s fourth-quarter defi cit against the Gators was the only time the en-tire tournament they were down after the fi rst quarter.

“It stings (but) these are very resilient kids,” said Walnut Grove coach George Bergen about the disappoint-ment of losing in the semifi nals.

“It was hard to get up for (the bronze med-al) game but they also wanted a ‘W’”.

“It was hard, but as soon as we start-ed playing, the juices started fl owing,” said Josh Ajayi, who also played his fi nal high school game.

Jake Cowley, who was named a fi rst team all-star, was hampered by four fouls against Mouat, and fi nished with nine points. He entered the game aver-aging 19 points and 14 rebounds.

Ty Rowell scored 21 in the game and both those players will be back for their Grade 12 year.

Stead fi nished with 15 points, nine of which came in the fourth quarter, while Wei Chung had 13.

It was Stead and Chung’s fi nal high school game.

Kodiaks’ season ends on winning note


Disappointed not to be play-ing for gold, the Credo Chris-tian Kodiaks made sure they returned from the provincial championships with the bronze medal.

“Our team was disappointed that they were not in the fi nals,” said coach Sharon Allison.

“Unfortunately, the draw dic-tated that.

“(But) we knew that we would have to play the game of our lives to beat Mulgrave in the bronze medal.”

And the Kodiaks delivered, wining 69-58 to place third at the B.C. senior girls 1A provin-cial basketball championships over the weekend at Duncan Christian School.

The Kodiaks trailed 53-48 af-ter three quarters but clamped down defensively in the fourth, allowing just fi ve points while

scoring 21 for the 11-point win.Credo Christian had lost 74-

50 to the gold-medal winning Langley Christian Lightning in the semifi nals. The Light-ing beat Agassiz — a team the Kodiaks beat 62-48 last month at the Fraser Valley champion-ships — in the gold medal game.

The Kodiaks offence was play-ing well all tournament, as they averaged more than 70 points per game in their three victo-ries. Credo opened with a 76-53 win over Lake Districts and then won their quarter-fi nal game 73-61 over Similkameen.

“The team played awesome; they played every game like it was their last,” Allison said.

The coach added that her players would need to display self-control and patience if they wanted success.

“I told them that their intense preparation and years of train-ing (would) pay off if they were

disciplined at all times on and off the court and it certainly did with the result being a bronze medal,” Allison said.

At the start of the season, Alli-son knew a medal at provincials was realistic.

“I had an experienced team that I have been coaching since Grade 8,” she explained.

“A strong work ethic was demonstrated by each player every time they were on the court. This led to our success during the season and at pro-vincials.”

The Kodiaks have won the provincial title previously, but the third place fi nish is their top placing in recent years, Allison said.

Jaylene Stam — who led the Kodiaks in scoring with 22.5 points per game — was named a fi rst team all-star. Hannah Al-lison was a second team selec-tion for the Kodiaks.

Each player needs to raise $3,200 to cov-er their kit, fl ight, ac-commodations and all meals.

The burger and beer fundraiser is set for March 19 at the Artful

Dodger Pub.Tickets are $20 and

include either a ham-burger or veggie burg-er, fries and either a beer, highball or glass of wine.

There will also be a 50/50 draw, raffl e for Vancouver Canuck

tickets and jerseys, toonie toss and give-aways.

The Brookswood Country Band will pro-vide the evening’s en-tertainment.

HOPELaurence Andrew

November 7, 1931 - March 5, 2016Laurence, “Larry”, was raised at the farm in Fort Langley, BC, graduated from UBC in 1955 with a Bachelor of Forestry Degree and became Regis-tered Professional Forester #350 in 1960. He married Lilly Sater in 1958 and they had 5 daughters. Lilly died in 1985. He worked in the BC Forestry industry from 1955 to 1987 on the Queen Charlotte Islands (now Haida Gwaii), Giscome and Burns Lake. He started a small sawmill in 1967, Decker Lake Forest Products Ltd., and sold it in 1986. He cherished the friendships made during this time.

In 1988 he married Hope Mavis Poole, and built Redwoods Golf Course which opened in 1994. Larry worked with the Township of Langley to ensure that the

golf course property would never be developed and remain green space for the residents to enjoy in perpetuity. He loved to collect in-formation and share stories. For the last 12 years he had been re-searching and writing the history of his Grandfather Hope, and it morphed into interesting side stories of the history of BC and Canada during those times. He was a voracious learner and this story is a legacy that will be enjoyed by generations to come. He was a strong supporter of communities and charities that he believed in.

A private service will be held. A public Celebration of Life Open House will be on Monday,

March 21st, 4:30-7pm at Redwoods Golf Course, 22011 88th Ave, Langley, BC. In lieu of fl owers, donations can be made to Peace

Arch Hospital Foundation, White Rock, St. George’s Anglican Church, Fort Langley, or your local Salvation Army.
