The public had questionsabout firefighters, cats andBrookswood.
MATTHEW [email protected]
Langley Township’s budget was putunder public scrutiny at two public openhouses on March 9 and 10.
A few dozen people stopped by over thetwo days to ask Township staffers ques-tions about spending and taxes.
The budget currently has a “base” taxincrease of 1.59 per cent, plus there arefour priorities that could be included thatwould push it as high as 3.69 per cent.
The four priorities are: adding eight newfirefighters, adding three new RCMP offi-cers, an increase for roadwork, and fundingfor a long-term infrastructure reserve fund.
There were a number of hot topics peopleasked about, said Karen Sinclair, deputydirector of finance.
“Probably the most have come in aboutBrookswood-Fernridge,” said Sinclair.
An unpopular new Official CommunityPlan was scrapped by council last yearafter major protests from hundreds ofBrookswood residents.
There is theoretically funding to starta new OCP process this year, Sinclairnoted. There is $61,000 left over from the$500,000 for the first plan, and $150,000of new Township money available. If theTownship council doesn’t vote to moveahead this year, the $61,000 would revert
to the landowners who put up the $500,000for the first plan several years ago.
Whether the OCP starts up again is up toa vote of council.
There were a number of people askingabout firefighters, including some Townshipfirefighters, Sinclair said.
The fire department is asking for morehiring so that every responding fire crewcan have four firefighters, which is consid-ered the safe industry standard.
One of the top questions was about theISOasis project, a plan to build a new quar-
antine and treatment area for new straycats collected at the Patti Dale AnimalShelter.
That project has been funded, with theTownship kicking in 40 per cent of the costover two years, while the Langley AnimalProtection Society provides the rest of themoney.
Langley Township council will take inpublic comment on the budget, from theopen houses and elsewhere, before votingon which of the additional items, if any, toinclude in the final budget.

MATTHEW [email protected]
A Langley man faces severalcharges after a high speed chasethat sent a Surrey RCMP officerto the hospital Thursday night.
At about 9 p.m., multiple911 calls were received about a
vehicle being driven erraticallyin South Surrey.
Witnesses described a man ina Pontiac Trans Am driving ata high rate of speed, said Sgt.Dale Carr, spokesperson for theSurrey RCMP.
Police tried to pull the TransAm over, but it sped off.
To avoid a chase that couldendanger the public, policepulled back on the groundwhile the Air One police heli-copter followed the vehicle fromabove.
The vehicle was observed
speeding through South Surrey,running red lights and drivinginto oncoming traffic.
The car headed east and even-tually turned on 51B Avenuefrom 192nd Street in Cloverdale.
During the arrest, a LowerMainland Integrated Police DogService truck rolled down anembankment of 192nd Street.The officer was taken to hospi-tal but later released. The policedog was checked out by a vetand found to be uninjured; thedog is now at home with hishandler.
The suspect is well known topolice and is prohibited fromdriving, said Carr.
A search of the Trans Amturned up stolen license plates,break and enter tools, electronicgear, and keys.
“Prolific offenders will oftensteal vehicles or license platesand use them to commit othercrimes,” said Carr. “In thiscase, the suspect put the livesof our officers and the public atrisk through dangerous drivingdespite facing a 10-year drivingprohibition.”

Developers areproposing a condoand townhouseproject in the Fort.
MATTHEW [email protected]
Fort Langley residentsconsidered a small buthigh-density housingproject planned for thevillage’s downtown at anopen house March 12.
Lombardy Park is a 16-unit development plannedfor three current lots at thecorner of McBride Streetand Mavis Avenue.
Fort residents lookedover the second version ofdesigns at Thursday’s pub-lic open house at the FortLangley Community Hall,not far from the plannedsite.
The developers are plan-ning 12 apartments andfour townhouses, with theapartments around 1,200square feet and the town-houses at 2,000.
All the parking forthe new project will beunderground, with 48total spaces, said architectSteven Cross.
He notes it is denserthan local zoning bylaws
permit, and the developerwill have to ask LangleyTownship council for anexemption.
The Lombardy Parkproject has a density ofone unit per 146 squaremetres, said Cross. That’scompared to one unit for333 square metres for thenearby McBride Stationdevelopment.
Cross said he’s heard alot of questions about theesthetics of the projectfrom residents.
Others who spoke to theLangley Advance raised con-cerns about the density.
“I think it’s too dense,”said Eric Woodward. Asthe developer of the con-
troversial Coulter Berrybuilding now under con-struction, he knows thatsome people in the Fortwill find that ironic, hesaid.
But Woodward said theoverall density of this siteis higher than in much ofWilloughby.
“This is quite a signifi-cant improvement fromthe first design,” saidRichard Bent, but he alsobrought up the density.
“It’s still more thandouble the zoning, andthat’s a concern,” saidBent.
Judy and Mario Antunesjust moved to Fort Langleyfrom Coquitlam three
months ago, seeking aquieter neighbourhood.
“Looks pretty good,”said Mario. “I think there’smore than enough parkingfor everyone.”
He is worried aboutcongestion in the area, hesaid.
Judy said from whatshe has heard, the zoningallows up to eight units ona site that size.
“If the zoning law sayseight, I don’t understandwhy it’s not eight,” shesaid.
The design of theLombardy Park projectis based in part on otherlocal homes and business-es, including the formerFort Hotel that burned tothe ground in the 1970s.
Cross said the develop-ers have been workingwith the Township and itsheritage deparment.
The project hasn’t yetgone before the council forconsideration, and it maybe a couple of monthsbefore that happens.
Partly, it will depend onthe feedback from resi-dents at the open house,said Cross.
If the developer askscouncil for greater thanallowable density, a pub-lic hearing would be heldbefore council can approveany changes.

The accused hasadmitted killing avictim, but not tomurder.
MATTHEW [email protected]
The only issue in themurder trial of JasonTerrence Brewer is wheth-er he intended to kill vic-tim Cole Adam Manning.
On the first day ofthe Langley man’strial Monday in NewWestminster’s courthouse,lawyers for both sides toldJustice Murray Blok thatBrewer had admitted caus-ing Manning’s death.
The question is whetherthere was the intent toactually kill the victim,said Crown counsel RajivKhangura.
Manning, a 40-year-oldCloverdale resident, wasstabbed to death in thebasement suite occupiedby Brewer on Dec. 30 or
early on the 31st, 2012.Brewer was arrested the
morning of the 31st aftera police chase involv-ing Abbotsford Policeand the Langley RCMP.Brewer had been headingto the home of friends inAbbotsford after the mur-der when police found himby pinging his cellphone.
They managed to locatehim just beforehe arrived athis friend’shome and hesped off, head-ing back to264th Streetbefore policemanaged tohalt and arresthim.
The crownspent mostof Mondaymorning going over theevidence gathered at thescene of the killing.
Const. Bonnie Munn ofthe Integrated HomicideInvestigation Team wasresponsible for the piecesof evidence gathered, andwas part of the team that
executed a search warranton the crime scene.
She said they didn’t takeor touch anything on theirfirst visit to the apartmentbecause a blood patternanalyst was brought in.
After that expert hadexamined the scene, theysearched the apartment.
They found Manning’sbody lying on the bed face
down, hishead towardsthe foot of thebed with hisarms underhis body.
He had aknife still inhis body thatwas seized atthe autopsy.
The itemsseized as evi-dence includ-
ed a towel, a pillow andpillowcase, several itemsof clothing, a wallet, anda bank deposit envelopefound near the bed with a$20 bill inside.
Defense lawyerLawrence Myers quibbledover details during Munn’s
testimony, and asked herabout contamination,whether the apartmentwas meticulous, and theextent of her training oncrime scene preservation.
He specifically asked anumber of questions aboutwhether any other wal-lets had been found at thescene of the killing.
When Munn said therewas only one wallet found,Myers asked if there couldhave been another onepolice missed.
“I believe we wouldhave uncovered anotherwallet if one had beenthere,” Munn said, not-ing police conducted whatshe called a very thoroughsearch of the suite wherethe crime took place.
Throughout the trial,members of Manning’sfamily sat in the front rowto watch the proceedings.
Brewer, in his 20s, sat inthe prisoner’s box wear-ing a blue long-sleevedpolo shirt and jeans. Theaccused, his dark hairbuzzed close to his scalp,watched the proceedingsquietly throughout the firstday of the trial.
The trial is expected totake up to three weeks.Khangura said he plansto introduce witnessesincluding a number of
police officers, as well asfriends and acquaintancesof Brewer who saw orspoke to him around thedate of the killing.
Cellphone records of
calls between Brewer andManning showing thatthe two had planned tomeet the evening Manningwas last seen will also beentered.

Accused admits he stabbed victim in suite
Mounties say they havecaptured a suspect in sevenbank robberies.
MATTHEW [email protected]
A man who allegedly held up banksin Langley, Maple Ridge, and Surrey hasbeen arrested and now faces charges inseven heists.
The most recent robbery took placeon March 4 at 3:15 p.m. in Maple Ridge,when a lone man walked into the Bank ofMontreal in the 20600 block of LougheedHighway, allegedly claimed to have agun, and demanded money.
Ridge Meadows RCMP officers dis-patched to the scene located a manmatching the suspect’s description andtook him into custody.
The officers seized key evidence thatpolice believe links this man to the rob-bery, said Sgt. Annie Linteau with theLower Mainland District RCMP.
Ridge Meadows RCMP’s StreetEnforcement officers thought their sus-pect in custody resembled photos theyhad seen of a man responsible for six pre-vious robberies.
They contacted the Surrey RCMPRobbery Unit and the Langley RCMPSerious Crime Unit annd the three detach-ments began comparing notes.
Pursuing their leads collectively, theteams got a search warrant for the sus-pect’s Langley home as well.
Charges have now been approvedagainst Thomas Dennis Prosser, 36,who remains in custody pending a courtappearance.
The robberies started at the end ofJanuary.• Jan. 26, at the Royal Bank in the18600 block of Fraser Highway inSurrey’s Clayton Heights area.• Feb. 17, at the Westminster Savingsbranch in the 20800 block of FraserHighway in Langley.

Blame it ondefinitionof success
T he blame game got startedeven before the ballots enteredthe mail stream.
Metro Vancouver residentswill very shortly be voting on
whether or not to accept a 0.5 per centincrease to the PST to help fund 10 years’worth of transit projects put forth by theMayors’ Council.
With polls leaning heavily towards theNo side, the Yes side is pounding the pave-ment, promising to have Jim Pattisonwatch over the funds, and generallylaunching every glad-handing politician atevery SkyTrain lineup, hoping to move thevote.
When the plebiscite was first discussed,the provincial government tended to catchthe heat. After all, if the province had beenmanaging things properly, why would iteven come to this?
And then the Mayors’ Council lookedlike the ones to blame. After all, how hadthey let things get stalled like this? Whycouldn’t the mayors agree on anything?
And then there’s TransLink – whateverthat really is. The average Joe rightfullylooks at the golden deals of bigwigs at theorganization, the fitness facilities for staff,and the broken plans for – well, a lot ofthings – and thinks someone in that messhas to be to blamed.
And now, yes, now the over-55 set aregetting blamed. Everyone with a car anda carport and some grey in their hair isalready getting blamed for voting No andscuttling a future filled with shiny newbuses, better bridges, and a SkyTrain sys-tem that actually runs.
The baby boomers are apparently, whenpolled, leaning towards No because theydon’t use or need transit, they hate pay-ing more taxes, and spend a lot of time inArizona or in their La-Z-Boy recliners.
While some of that is undoubtedlypartially true, what we do know for sureis that no one under 50 or over 50 who isnot an elected politician or a TransLinkexecutive or board member is to blame foran unsuccessful outcome.
Other other hand, we’re not surethan a No vote would necessarily be anunsuccessful outcome.
Must be the herring fishery isopening soon, I figure.
There sure seems to be alot of them out there right
now, anyway.Especially the red ones.The Lower Mainland transit tax pleb-
iscite is turning into a veritable red her-ring hatchery – spawning them right andleft, and sending them into the alreadymuddy TransLink River Basin wherethey churn the waters further, reducingvisibility to unprecedented levels.
For starters, we have the king red her-ring – the whopper – the biggest one ofthem all: everybody hates TransLink.
Big deal. We’ve known that for years,especially out here in the hinterlandswhere we have the ongoing privilege ofpaying premium prices for marginal (orno) services, and are expected to feelgrateful for the opportunity to subsid-ize the more important people who eatwork and play at the centre of the MetroVancouver universe.
We have lots of reasons to hateTransLink. We hate the TransLink CEOsand upper management classes whothrough the years have meticulouslyavoided sullying themselves throughcontact with bus seats and the lesser-plebes who regularly populate them.
They are the same TransLink CEOsand upper managers who just as meticu-lously cash their exorbitant pay cheques
before eventually floatingaway on their state-of-the-art golden parachutes.
If only they spent halfthe time and effort andexpertise at crafting effect-ive transit routes as theydo in planning their escaperoutes, they wouldn’t needthose parachutes, and wewouldn’t feel the need tohate them and drive themback into the warrens fromwhence they crawled in thefirst place.
But, wait! That’s the point of it all,isn’t it? From the time they first scurryout of their runs and into the open, isn’tit all about that parachute ride at theend of the line?
But those CEOs and managers are sim-ply swimming out there with a host ofother red TransLink herrings.
Failed and failing projects, stupiddecisions, incompetent non-leadership,the inadequacies of empire-buildingand democracy-ignoring politicians andbureaucrats, and even the Vancouver-centric policy book: all of those red her-rings should be flushed down the FraserRiver and into the ocean – some of themon their contractually specified goldensailboats, if necessary.
But they are not a reason to vote No.Go to the Yes side, and you’ll find an
equally abundant haul ofred herrings. There are thepersonal attacks against Nosupporters (reciprocatedagainst Yes supporters).
There are weird andunconfirmable calculationsof advantageous econom-ics based on bolsteringthe apparently unalterableTransLink boardroom cer-tainty that all roads leadto Vancouver, but slightlymodified with the hedgethat at least a few roads
may eventually start leading to Surrey– revealing only that that community isbecoming a political entity that is almostbig enough to matter.
Even the price tag that fleshes out theplebiscite – the 0.5 per cent increase insales tax – while it might not be a brightred herring, could at the very least bemistaken for a pink salmon.
Here’s a school of herrings that aren’tred: TransLink shouldn’t exist at allbecause transportation is a provincialresponsibility, the sales tax should beeverywhere or nowhere, and we needbetter transit the entire length of theFraser Valley, both sides of the river.
But even those aren’t reasons to voteYes or No. You need to chew on allthose red herrings, hold your nose whileswallowing, and then go with your gut.
Hold your nose, swallow, and vote

Dear Editor,I’m an avid road cyclist and ride the roads
of Langley City and Township year-round.Painting a white bicycle icon on the shoul-der and adding signage identifying a bikelane is the least that can be done for thesafety of the riders.
I’ve ridden my bike throughout NorthAmerica and have never seen so much junkaccumulate on the shoulders. Initially, Ithought it may be just the leftovers from atough winter, but the junk is there all yearround: broken glass, car parts, bungy cords,leftover gravel from pothole repairs, andlots of garbage. And after a wind storm the
amount of tree limbs make riding close tothe edge of the road impossible.
Bike icons are painted on the sidewalkalong 96th Avenue between 208th and212th Streets, but the sidewalk has drive-way accesses and raised or lowered man-hole covers, causing riders to travel downthe road with limited shoulder space.
A street-sweeper removing hazards fromthe shoulder would keep cyclists from hav-ing to dodge into the traffic lanes.
Sidewalks are for walking (hence theword “walk”) not for cycling. Get rid of thedesignated bike lane on sidewalks.

people of Langley are awareof the impact the plannedunderground wiring projectwill mean to the historic vil-lage of Fort Langley.
The little town is the
jewel in the crown of theTownship, and a small bitof living history for our fam-ilies and visitors. No otherplace has a working fort, amunicipal museum, the BCFarm Museum, art galler-ies and artists, the historic
CNR heritage station withcoach and caboose (andmodel railroad), and herit-age buildings, and all on thebanks of B.C.’s largest river,with waterfront activities,camping, and trails.
The installation of theunderground wiring,rather than beautifying FortLangley, will create 12 to 18months of disruption.
The street trees that helpcreate the atmosphere andthe heritage telephonepoles will be removed andreplaced with green trans-formers and modern poles.
Each building will havethe wires put undergroundand the switchboxeschanged at the owners’expense. Even those whosewiring comes from the streetbehind the buildings will beunfairly charged for front-age. The cost is a lot to theindividual and to the tax-payer, even if the Townshippicks up the bills.
Pioneer Alex Hope wasresponsible for lighting upthe village of Fort Langley,as he was able to persuadethe BC Electric Co. to hookup a wire to the village fromthe nearby station. FortLangley was the first townto have street lighting.
We need to keep theseoverhead wires as a specialreminder of the past. Asmilk is now seen to comefrom cartons, not from theudders of family cows,underground wires will notshow us how we get ourlights.

Principal facts miss realityDear Editor,
Kristen Cassie, principal of Roots and Wings Montessorischool, is incorrect when she says whole countries havebanned smart meters [Hydro overpowers private school,March 10, Langley Advance]. That is an urban legend thatmakes the rounds on the internet quite frequently, usuallywith Italy the alleged banner. In fact, smart meter usageexceeds 90 per cent in Italy.
One would think a school principal would check her factsmore carefully. Or perhaps she just chooses to believe itbecause it suits her particular opinion, no matter how false.
G. Smith, Langley
TransLink not trustworthyDear Editor,
Metro Vancouver’s transit authority bought a buildingfor $17,200 million, sold for $8,200 million, rented it for$63,000 a month for many years, bought it back for $13,900million. They pay two CEOs for six months, one criticizedfor claiming more than $83,000 in bonus. Two CEOs times$35,000 per month equals more tax money lost.
Lost revenues for TransLink by fare evasion is estimatedat $18 million. Over 29 years: $552 million gone.
The Compass Card system is almost two years overdue,smart cards and fare gates are over budget and still notworking. The cost of fixing them is pegged at $194 million.
In December 2014, Langley Township’s mayor thoughtthe majority of Metro Vancouver residents would vote“Yes” for a sales tax increase for more transit. Surrey,Langley, and Aldergrove “working joe” commuters arealready paying for two bridges at $144 per month.
Vancouver and Burnaby get the most benefit from transit,at 95 per cent. Over the Fraser River, in Surrey, Langley,and Aldergrove, our benefit is perhaps 10 per cent. Shouldwe give more of our taxes to these people when they don’thave their own house in order enough to trust them with it?

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

Brookswood Homesowner and consummatecommunity volunteerdied March 10.
ROXANNE [email protected]
A leader of the Langley businesscommunity is being mourned,following his death after a “briefbattle” with cancer.
Dale Ball, the owner ofBrookswood Homes, a past cit-izen of the year, businesspersonof the year, past chair of theGreater Langley Chamber ofCommerce, a Rotarian, chair ofthe Brookswood Village MerchantsAssociation, a leader in the prov-incial and Canadian manufacturedhousing associations, and all-aroundcommunity volunteer died Tuesday,March 10. His passing has shockedmany.
The chamber and merchants asso-ciation have posted the news of hisdeath on Facebook with many localresidents using the forum to offercondolences.
The Greater Langley Chamber ofCommerce “extends our deepestcondolences to Dale’s wife Mary,their sons, and entire family.”
“I knew Dale my entire life, mythoughts are with his wife, Mary, hissons, Anthony and Jason,” MelissaMarie posted on Facebook.
Fellow community volunteer Tim
Lounsbury said: “RIP my dear, dearfriend. You will be deeply missed.”
Langley Township CouncillorCharlie Fox wrote: “He will bemissed,” while fellow Councillor BobLong added, “So very, very sad. Itwas an honour and pleasure and alot of fun to have known Dale andserved with him over the years. Hewill be missed by many.”
Catherine Anderson said, “AGrande Man – deeply missed, con-dolences to all the family. RIP.”
Former Township councillorJordan Bateman said: “Very sad tohear this news. Prayers with Dale’sfamily and countless friends,” whileanother former councillor, HowieVickberg, wrote: “So very sad tohear… a really good guy gone toosoon! Condolences to his family.”
“Devastating news. He will be
sorely missed. A supporter of thecommunity he lived in and a genu-inely gentle person,” added AngieMcDougall.
In 2006, when Ball was crownedbusinessperson of the year, he wasacknowledged not only for his workin the family businesses, but forhelping out numerous organizationsincluding the Langley boys fast-ball, scouts, the Langley CentennialMuseum, his Rotary Club, and theLangley Lodge.
He had happily donated time,energy, and resources to charitableand business efforts, telling theLangley Advance at the time that hedidn’t mind.
“I enjoy them all,” he had said.“I don’t do things unless I enjoythem.”
Life is too short to do things youdon’t like, Ball had said, convincedit was that attitude that won him thespecial acknowledgement.
The family has announcedarrangements.
The service will be held at theChristian Life Assembly, 21277 56thAve. at 2 p.m. on March 30. Therewill be a tea following the service
In lieu of flowers the family is ask-ing that donations be made to cer-tain groups:
The Langley Centennial MuseumThe Rotary FoundationThe Langley School District
FoundationThe Langley Memorial Hospital
FoundationBC Children’s HospitalThe Langley Care Foundation
(Langley Lodge).

POLICE
Langley manshot, dumpedA Langley man was dumped in PortKells after being shot and wounded.
MATTHEW [email protected]
A Langley man was found shot and bleeding inrural Port Kells just before midnight Wednesday,Surrey RCMP said.
At 11:55 p.m., B.C. Ambulance paramedics calledin the police, saying they had been contacted about aman lying in the 19300 block of 80th Avenue.
The 28-year-old man was being helped by severallocal residents when Surrey RCMP arrived, said StaffSgt. M.A. Hedderson.
The victim was suffering from a gunshot wound tohis lower body, and was taken to hospital in seriousbut stable condition.
The man is known to police, said Hedderson.The shooting victim had apparently been shot in a
vehicle elsewhere, then was dropped off on the roadwhere he was found.
Hedderson said it appears to have been a targetedshooting.
The shooting is the latest in a string of attacks inSurrey, with four incidents in Newton over the twodays from Tuesday to Wednesday.
At least three of those shootings are believed tohave been linked, Surrey RCMP have said. Twopeople have been injured so far in the Newton-areashootings.
The RCMP are asking anyone who has informa-tion on this latest shooting on the Langley border,who may have seen the shooting or the victim beingpushed out of the vehicle on 80th Avenue, to call theSurrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Aldergrove droppedfour straight to red-hot Mission City, whoousted the Kodiaksfrom the playoffs.TROY [email protected]
There will be no champion-ship repeat for the AldergroveKodiaks this Pacific JuniorHockey League post-season.
The Kodiaks, who won thePJHL playoff title last March,have been eliminated by theupstart Mission City Outlaws.
A 5-3 win over the Kodiaksat Aldergrove Arena lastWednesday lifted the Outlawsto a 4-1 victory in games in thebest-of-seven, Harold BrittainConference final series.
The Kodiaks just couldn’tcontain the Outlaws’ top offen-sive player, Bryce Pisiak, whoposted two goals (includingthe winner with a 1:10 to go inregulation) and two assists tolead the Outlaws to the series-clinching victory.
Pisiak, 19, leads the Outlawsin playoff scoring with ninegoals and 17 points. He scored10 points (six goals, fourassists) in five games againstthe Kodiaks.
After it took them the fullseven games to battle past theAbbotsford Pilots in their play-off opener, the Kodiaks werelooking to advance to the PJHLchampionship series for thethird consecutive year.
But the Outlaws had a sayabout that, as they continuedtheir Cinderella run through theplayoffs.
The Outlaws pulled off a bitof an upset in their first roundseries by dispatching the high-scoring Langley Knights in sixgames and then, after losingtheir opener to the Kodiaks by a
5-1 score, proceeded to win thenext four to book their ticket tothe PJHL final.
Mission had a mediocreregular season, finishing 21-20-1-2 to take third in the HaroldBrittain, one point better thanAbbotsford. But thus far, theyhave caught lightning in a bottlein the playoffs.
In what turned out to betheir final game of the season,the Kodiaks carried a 3-2 leadinto the third period, but theOutlaws scored the only threegoals of the final 20 minutes toearn the win.
After Pisiak’s game winner,Mission City’s Tristan Dundasdeposited the puck into theempty net with four seconds togo in the game to seal the vic-tory.
Desperate for the tying goalin the final minute of the thirdframe, the Kodiaks pulled goal-tender Ben Giesbrecht in favourof an extra attacker.
Cameron Davitt, AaronMarkin, and affiliate playerNoah Wiebe scored for theKodiaks, who had a 31-28 edgein shots.
Outlaws vs. PackThe Outlaws are playing the
Tom Shaw Conference playoffchampion North VancouverWolf Pack in the PJHL cham-pionship series.
The best-of-seven series gotunderway yesterday (Monday,March 16) with game one atthe Harry Jerome Rec Centre inNorth Vancouver.
The game got underway afterthe Langley Advancewent topress Monday afternoon.
ICE CHIPS: Take awaytheir series-opening loss tothe Kodiaks, and the Outlawshave won eight of their pastnine playoff games, includingfour straight over the LangleyKnights, who jumped out towhat looked to be a command-ing 2-0 lead in games in theirbest-of-seven series.

Yale tops B.C.The Yale Lions are
B.C. champions after tak-ing down the Terry FoxRavens 69-63 in the tour-nament final, played infront of 4,876 fans insidethe LEC’s arena bowl onSaturday night.
Yale guard JauquinBennett-Boire was a forceto be reckoned with andshowed why he’s consid-ered one of the best highschool players in B.C.
Bennett-Boire scored agame-high 44 points andpulled down 16 reboundsin the victory.
“There’s no words in thedictionary for this,” saidBennett-Boire. “It’s thebiggest moment of all ourlives. Basketball meansso much to all of us andwe’re going to rememberthis for the rest of ourlives.”
The game was whatyou’d expect out of achampionship final withthe lead going back andforth and both teams hit-ting big shots, includingBennett-Boire who draineda jumper at the buzzer togive the Lions a 33-32 leadat halftime.
The second half waseven more dramatic thanthe first. The Ravens tookthe lead early in the thirdquarter but were unableto stretch it thanks tomore clutch buckets fromtournament MVP Bennett-Boire, in one of the bestperformances in BCbasketball finals history.
“Just doing what wealways do, playing hard,”said Bennett-Boire, whoalso added three assistsand five steals to his total.“Playing hard on defenseand then translating tooffense, that’s champion-ship basketball.”
Yale was not ranked inthe pre-season rankingsbut proved their doubterswrong as the No. 5 seedin the tournament is nowtops in the province.
“When we first sawthe pre-season rankingswe were at the bottom ofthe Honourable Mentionlist,” said Roberts. “Therewere a lot of mountains toclimb. Jauquin led the wayand it was a remarkablerun. As we went furtherand further in the sea-son, we practiced for thisgame.”
Lions guard Riley Braichalong with Bennett-Boirewere voted first team all-stars, as were Terry Fox’sMichael West and JomariReyes.
Ravens forward ScottBarker was also votedtournament’s MostOutstanding DefensivePlayer.
