Langley man pulls horses from burning barnTRACY HOLMESBlack Press
Langley resident Morgan Dansie didn’t hesitate when he saw a barn engulfed in fi re on South Surrey acreage last Wednes-day.
“I just ran up there, yelling for people… heard the horses going crazy,” Dansie, 30, told the Langley Times’ sister paper, the
Peace Arch News, Thursday morning.The new father was en route to White
Rock’s Peace Arch Hospital with his wife, week-old son and mother-in-law just be-fore noon Dec. 30 when he spotted trouble in the 16600-block of 16 Avenue — just east of the 16 Avenue on-ramp to Highway 99.
“I saw the smoke, then I saw fl ames, pulled over,” Dansie said.
After calling 911, Dansie said he “ran and ran and ran” up the long driveway until he reached the burning building, where he discovered several horses trapped in pad-docks, fl ames burning within two and a half metres of them.
“They were looking at me, ‘help me’,” he said, describing the panic he saw in the an-imals’ eyes.
“I had to go in and grab ’em one by one to get ’em moving, then get out of the way.”
Dansie fi gures he released about eight horses before the fi re made it impossible to continue.
“Every horse that I pulled out, the fl ames were getting more intense and more in-tense,” he said.
Dozens of people started off the New Year with a shivery splash on Friday afternoon, during the third annual Fort Langley polar bear swim. With temperatures hovering at zero degrees, participants huddled in bathing suits and costumes on Brae Island beach before braving the icy water of the Fraser River.

Former City of Langley Council-lor Dave Hall has died.
The City made the announce-ment on Monday, praising Hall for both his passion for the commu-nity and his devotion to his role as a member of council.
First elected seven years ago, Hall, who stepped away from his duties late last year to focus on his cancer battle, was a champi-on of recreation in the City, serv-ing on numerous committees, in-cluding Parks and Environment, as well as with business develop-ment and planning.
Prior to his time on City coun-cil, Hall served for nine years as a trustee in the Langley school district. The retired teacher was a resident of the City for more than 30 years.
Coun. Hall, who passed away early in the morning on Mon-day, Jan. 4 at the age of 63, was a well-rounded fi tness and sports enthusiast who brought his en-thusiasm to many different City held functions and activities.
Personally, he enjoyed his Al Anderson morning swim and his daily cycling routine while con-tinually committing to specifi c endeavors like the City of Lang-ley Tri-it Triathlon and the annu-al Terry Fox Run.
As an advocate for the new Timms Community Centre, he was looking forward to trying out the walking/running track in the new facility, which is scheduled to open in February.
“Dave was a devoted member of council,” said Mayor Ted Schaffer.
“He regularly conducted his own research to understand the
issues and possibilities with-in our city. Dave often brought an opposing view to the coun-cil table, which contributed to compelling and engaging discus-sions.”
City of Langley fl ags will fl y at half-mast in remembrance of this dedicated, passionate and thought-provoking man, states a release from the City.
In lieu of fl owers, the Hall fam-ily requests that any donations be directed toward organizations that support cancer research, including the Terry Fox Founda-tion or the BC Cancer Foundation. More information about a cele-bration of life will be provided as it becomes available.

At 1:40 p.m. on Jan. 1, Reagan Dinzey was wel-comed as the fi rst baby of 2016 at Langley Me-morial Hospital.
Parents Elsa and Derek say they were shocked to fi nd out their afternoon birth was the fi rst at the hospital that day.
“There was another couple that apparent-ly had gone into labour earlier, but it was their fi rst so it was taking them a while. Therefore we were surprised to be fi rst,” Derek said.
Oddly enough, the couple’s friend and pastor of their church — North Langley Community Church — was just two doors down the hall at the hospital and gave birth to the last baby of 2015.
Reagan is now home in Fort Langley with her parents and two older brothers, Gavin, 3, and Kurtis, 2.
“It’s our fi rst girl, and with a girl comes excite-ment,” Elsa said.
“I’m also happy I should be able to remember her birthday,” Derek added.

“After I let them out, they all wanted to follow me.
“There were fl ames shooting out the roof, out the sides, the windows.”
Firefi ghters, police, paramed-ics and animal-control offi cers arrived on the scene shortly after, and the surviving horses were reportedly taken in by a neighbour. Black smoke from the blaze could be seen billow-ing into the sky from kilometres away.
From the scene Thursday, Sur-rey battalion Chief Richard El-lis confi rmed that three horses died in the fi re. The fate of two dogs and three cats that also call the property home remained unclear as of Thursday morning, although one witness said the dogs and one cat also did not make it out.
Ellis said the cause of the fi re has not been determined. An inves-tigator was expected to be on site all day Thurs-day and an excavator was brought in to assist in digging through the debris.
“At this point, they ha-ven’t even gone inside because it’s unsafe to,” Ellis said, noting “a few” hot spots still remained. “It’s just too dangerous.”
Ellis commended Dansie’s quick actions, but cautioned citizens against running into a burning building.
“Maybe not the safest thing to do, (but) in that instance, maybe saved some horses,” he said.
Dansie told Black Press that Wednesday was not the fi rst time that he has been in the right place at the right time. He
recalled pulling a wom-an from a fi re in North Vancouver about fi ve years ago, and said he’s also helped nabbed shoplifters in the past.
“It seems to follow me — everywhere I go, I’m doing something,” he said.
While thoughts of his new son were run-ning through his mind during Wednesday’s
rescue efforts, Dansie said he wouldn’t hesitate to help out again in any situation where lives are at risk.
“It’s basic instinct. “You don’t really think, you
just want to help, you want to save,” he said.
“I was taught, respect how you want to be respected, and just help. At least if I tried, I know I tried.”
From Page 1
Smoke billows out of a barn on 16 Avenue in South Surrey. The fi re which engulfed the building last Wednesday claimed the lives of three horses, but Lang-ley’s Morgan Dansie, who was passing by at the time of the fi re, managed to pull a number of other animals to safety.

“ I knew I needed to act on my hearing loss when boardroom meetings became difficult.I received my first pair of hearing aids in my mid 40s. I have been wearing hearing aids for the past 20 years. I find the new technology makes it a lot easier to adapt and control my environment. I love the service I receive from Jen and Kris at Crystal Hearing. It is worth the 45 min. drive I make from Coquitlam to receive their excellent service. I would recommend them to anyone. ” — Paul Kenick

In September, the board asked the district to provide a report on what work is being done and what supports are in place for the growing number of students with mental health issues.
In fact, it is one of the largest issues facing students today, said the report.
Langley assistant superin-tendent Claire Guy along with Support Services’ Renge Bailie
presented a power point to the board about mental wellness initiatives in schools, but em-phasized it is both a complex is-sue and a work in progress.
When students were asked what they thought, they all agreed that Planning 10 class is too late to be talking about mental wellness because mental health issues are showing up in the primary years.
Over the past few years, schools have seen a sharp in-crease in the number of children with anxiety. Learning how to self-regulate emotions is as im-portant now as numeracy, the
report indicated.Often mental health issues
will come out in the classroom, including bad behaviour, which results in other students judging and labeling those students, said Bailie.
For progress to be made it must involve everyone, they said.
Educators must work to reduce the stigma attached to mental health, students must be taught to be resilient, and support ser-vices must be in place when they’re needed.
“The school district can’t solve everyone’s mental wellness challenges,” said Guy. “Counsel-lors can help in the short term but they are not meant to be a student’s personal therapist.”
A workshop about eating dis-orders was well attended by
teachers and several mental health fi rst aid certifi cates were completed by teachers, support staff and administration. Anoth-er fi rst aid class is being offered in the new year.
Recognizing that Langley has dealt with several students tak-ing their own lives this year, trustees wanted to know what the district is doing.
“We are very proud to have strong protocol around suicid-al ideation, that other districts look to us for help.
“Teachers know that it may come out in their writing or in their behaviour,” said Bailie. “Teachers know what to say and how students help.”
But trustee Rosemary Wallace believes there are still faults in the system.
“We are still losing kids to sui-cide. There are still holes in sup-port,” she said.
Trustee Alison McVeigh felt hopeful that these are good fi rst steps.
“We weren’t even talking about this at board meetings two years ago, so we have already come far. We have a lot of work to do but we can’t own this entirely,” McVeigh said.
Bailie said a long-term goal is to have a hub within Langley where youth dealing with men-tal health issues have a place to go to feel safe to gather and where supports are available.
A new mental health survey is being conducted with Grade 4 to 7 students that will provide an even clearer picture around the issues.
Mental health should be addressed earlier, trustees hearTopic of mental wellness not formally discussed until Grade 10, which is too late say students

Whoever stole $1,000 worth of gift cards from the Sources Langley Food Bank sold one worth $500 to a unwary shopper who discovered the card had been cancelled when they tried to use it.
“They (the shopper) bought it from someone on the street,” said food bank manager Bruce Strom.
The cards were quickly cancelled after the Dec. 10 theft was discovered, but not fast enough to prevent someone from using about $200 worth,
Strom said.About $100 had been legit-
imately used by food bank volunteers to buy perishable goods for the once-a-week distribution at the former United Church on 200 Street.
After being advised of the theft, Save-On-Foods can-celled the cards, then is-sued $1,200 in replacements, Strom said.
The Dec. 10 theft of the cards marked the start of a diffi cult 72 hours for the food
bank.On Friday, Dec. 11, the big panel van the food
bank uses to collect donations and pick up pur-chases was stolen.
On Saturday, Dec. 12, someone used the gas card for the van to buy more than $1,300 worth of diesel gas from a Clearbrook gas station.
The van was found abandoned and damaged beyond repair in Aldergrove later that same morning.
It all happened shortly after the food bank dis-covered that its only other vehicle, a smaller van, needed about $5,000 in repairs and would have to be scrapped.
When the news broke, the response from the community was immediate.
A group of businesses, led by Langley real estate developer Newmark Group, along with Canadian Truck and Car Rental in Langley, Mr. Lube in Lang-ley and Dawn Construction in Surrey, purchased a one-ton cube van.
The smaller truck has been replaced by the Greater Vancouver Food Bank (GVFB).
And more than $20,000 was donated along with several other (loaned) service vehicles.

If you live in Aldergrove and heard a loud boom on New Year’s Day, it wasn’t just your head pounding from too much partying the night before.
Something did explode, Lang-ley RCMP confi rmed.
Around 11 a.m., an anony-mous caller alerted police about possible explosives underneath the stairwell of the former Cath-
olic church at 272 Street and 28 Avenue.
Langley RCMP arrived on the scene and saw a detonator cord sticking out of a plastic bag, which contained a suspicious device, said Cpl. Holly Largy.
Offi cers took pictures and sent them to the RCMP Explosive De-vice Unit.
The EDU arrived and deter-mined that it wasn’t safe to transport the material, which
they determined was old blast-ing caps, so they detonated them on site, resulting in the large blast that was heard throughout Aldergrove, said Largy.
“It was determined that the blasting caps were stolen during a B&E on Christmas Day at an Aldergrove business,” said Largy.
The caps were very old and being used to blow up large tree stumps.

A rollover crash sent two to hospital and closed Fraser Highway at 240 Street for a few hours on Sunday.
Around 1:30 p.m., a Toyota camper van, driven by a 23-year-old Langley man, was travelling west along Fraser Highway when police say he drove through a red light.
An SUV, driven by a 53-year-old Langley man, was travelling south on 240 Street through the green light, T-boning the of-fending vehicle in the intersection.
The force of the crash caused the camper van to roll and all the contents inside were strewn all over the road.
Both the driver and his 23-year-old female passenger involved in the rollover were taken to hospital with un-known injuries.
The driver who ran the red light was given a ticket, said Langley RCMP.

A traffi c stop by the Port Mann police in Co-quitlam has turned up hundreds of pieces of mail stolen from Langley mailboxes.
On Dec. 17, just after 3 a.m., a Port Mann Traf-fi c Services member stopped a pickup truck with Saskatchewan licence plates for a traffi c offence in Coquitlam.
During the traffi c stop, the offi cer observed what appeared to be stolen mail in the back seat of the vehicle.
A man and woman, both from Abbotsford, were
arrested for possession of stolen property ob-tained by crime. During the investigation, more than 200 pieces of stolen mail from Langley were recovered.
Offi cers also learned the 39-year-old male sus-pect had also committed several thefts from ve-hicles in the Pitt Meadows area.
Port Mann Traffi c Services is now working with Ridge Meadows and Langley RCMP to further the investigation and charges will be recommended to Crown counsel for review.

Langley resident Da-vid Esworthy will be remembered as a “true horseman” who had a passion for equestrian sports.
Esworthy, who passed away on Dec. 19 at the age of 86, served in virtually every role possible in his sport: as a rider, judge, steward, horse show organizer, horse show chair, and industry advisor.
When Esworthy was named Langley Senior of the year in 2012, a Times profi le described how he got his start working with horses as teenager.
Living in Vancouver, he would spend his summers wrangling horses at the Rainbow Lodge — which is now Whistler Village — for his aunt, who owned the lodge.
After taking a break from horses, he re-turned to the sport as a way to spend time with his wife Patricia, and their son, Phil.
“As a family, we start-ed looking for recre-ation,” Esworthy ex-plained.
“We asked ‘what do we all enjoy the most,’ and that was horses, so we joined a riding club.”
It was at Northridge Riding Club in North Vancouver, where Es-worthy soon became the club’s instructor and buyer.
When the club fold-ed, he moved, along with many members, to Southlands, serv-ing as president from 1969-72.
“I have one distinct failing in life,” Eswor-thy once observed. “I usually speak up and then I usually end up president.”
From 1968-77 Eswor-thy served as chair of the BC zone of the National Equestrian Federation of Canada, while also serving as vice-president of the national body.
At the same time, he served as a direc-
tor on the Canadian Horse Council and found himself at the centre of the greatest restructuring in Cana-dian equestrian histo-ry when the two orga-nizations combined.
Esworthy emerged as president of the new-ly-formed Canadian Equestrian Federation (now Equine Canada), serving in that capac-ity until 1984 and as chairman from 1984-91.
He wrote the new organization’s con-stitution and bylaws, which included claus-es for the formation of stronger provincial or-ganizations that led to the creation of Horse Council BC.
“We have lost one of our greatest champi-ons,” said Equine Can-ada president, Al Pat-terson.
“He will be sore-ly missed by all who knew him.”
Esworthy became one of only two Ca-nadian Federation Equestrian Internatio-nale (FEI) stewards to hold tickets in all three Olympic disciplines.
He also taught judg-ing clinics and exams around the world and assisted in the prepa-rations for equestri-an events at both the 1976 and 1984 Olympic Games.
Esworthy was named the 2012 Jump Canada Offi cial of the Year for his outstanding contri-bution and dedication to equestrian sport.
The same year, he was inducted into the
BC Sports Hall of Fame.“Dave is one of those
humble people who works quietly behind the scenes,” nominator Carla Robin said at the time.
In addition to his help in making Lang-ley the Horse Capi-tal of B.C., Esworthy’s volunteer exploits in-clude working with, or having worked with, the Vancouver Board of Trade, World Trade Committee, B.C. Fire
Chiefs Association, B.C. Transplant Society, Vancouver Hospital and Health Sciences Centre, and the Justice Institute of B.C. Foun-dation.
He said volunteering gave him an enormous sense of satisfaction.
“I like to get things done and if they don’t get done, I tend to stick my nose into it,” he said.
Esworthy worked for 40 years at Hastings
Brass Foundry, includ-ing the last four as president and CEO be-fore retiring in 1994.
He is survived by his son Philip David Es-worthy, and his grand-daughter, Patricia.
He was predeceased by his wife of 64 years, Patricia.
— with fi les from Gary Ahuja and Natasha Jones, and Jason Beck, Curator of the BC Sports Hall of Fame.

Tough competition for the great outdoorsThe year 2016 is shaping up
to produce a bumper crop of couch potatoes. Thanks to their Christmas gifts, more young people will be staring endlessly at screens instead of interact-ing with real people or going outside to play.
The number one, and seem-ingly only, gift kids wanted from Santa was something dig-ital. The hot ticket items this holiday for kids six and up were iPads, iPods, smartphones, computers, games and gaming devices. They weren’t asking for bikes, basket-balls or skateboards.
This means more time spent inside, less human contact and less activity all around.
With a young son myself, I’m lucky so far, that he has no interest in playing video games. But many of his friends do.
There will come a day when he does take an interest in Minecraft (or as the parents like to call it “Mind crap.”) Some of his little fi ve-year-old friends already know how to text emoticons. When he was two he went up to the TV and swiped the screen in an attempt to change the channel — something he learned from looking at photos of him-
self on mommy’s smartphone.I am the one to suggest we
play outside, not him. Once outside, he is happy to climb a tree, ride a bike or play hide and seek. I’m not putting on my tin-foil hat, saying the digital world is ruining our children. I just wonder what it all means for their social future and frankly for their waistlines.
We are having to schedule in activities rather than have them happen organically.
In my day (see how old I sound) our parents didn’t have to tell us to play outside, because we were out there ev-ery dry day until the street lights went on. Nobody made up games for us and kept us entertained, nobody helicop-tered all over us.
As youngsters, we disagreed some-times, but only had each other to work it out. An iPad may be able to show kids their house from space, but it can’t teach life skills.
There is a lot of worry these days about number of kids coming to kin-dergarten who are not socially ready and are unable to ‘self regulate.’ I don’t really understand it all, but it doesn’t sound good.
Raising a child in a digital world is
both fascinating and terrifying. While there are so many benefi ts to the in-ternet, making us a much more global community, reaching out and spread-ing awareness — there are just as many downsides. We are only just scratching the surface of what our kids’ attach-ments to their screens mean for them.
In a recent interview with Langley school district assistant superinten-dent Gord Stewart, he worried out loud about kids ‘having ‘no downtime’ from their screens and what that is doing to their well being.
One study, indicates that gaming releases the pleasure chemical dopa-mine, making the experience similar to substance abuse. Years of gaming can change the reward circuitry in a child’s brain.
Even regular screen time is associat-ed with changes in the brain involving emotional processing, attention and mood.
Because it isn’t his natural instinct, I make a concerted effort to get my son outside and in nature as much as pos-sible.
But when the day comes — as it inev-itably will — that I lose his attention to the draw of a shiny screen I will remind him, all things in moderation.
Or at least that’s the goal.
The beginning of a brand new year is the perfect time to refocus our energy and set goals for the coming 12 months.
But whether it’s to quit smoking or lose weight, New Year’s resolutions tend, for obvious reasons, to focus on the aspects of our well being over which we have the most control — the physical.
Mental health is a little bit trickier. Like any dis-ease, it often requires outside help to diagnose and treat. But unlike a broken arm or an open wound, there’s no straightforward way to fi x a mind that is in pain. That makes it no less critical.
So it’s good to hear that the mental health of Langley’s young people is on the radar for trustees of the Langley School district.
Board trustees started the conversation about students’ mental health and wellness at their most recent meeting in early December — acknowledg-ing it is a serious issue and one with symptoms that begin to manifest early.
As trustee Alison McVeigh noted, it’s a subject the board wasn’t discussing even two years ago.
School is of course the place where teenagers spend the largest chunk of their time surrounded by peers, giving teachers and other school staff the opportunity to observe how they behave and inter-act and to detect any telling changes in an individ-ual over a period of time.
While it’s right to say the district has a role in identifying young people who are struggling with mental health issues — anxiety and depression chief among them — it is not up to schools to sin-gle handedly address the problem.
“The school district can’t solve everyone’s men-tal wellness challenges,” said assistant superinten-dent Claire Guy “Counsellors can help in the short term but they are not meant to be a student’s per-sonal therapist.”
Educators must work to reduce the stigma at-tached to mental health and support services must be in place when they’re needed.
That’s where the province comes in. Parents across B.C. have been calling on regional
health authorities to do more for youth struggling with suicidal thoughts and mental health issues, including psychotic episodes.
A shortage of beds for youths in need of psychi-atric treatment had an Abbotsford mother plead-ing with the Fraser Health Authority at a Langley conference last September to do more for her trou-bled daughter.
“It’s great there are seven beds in Surrey, but what about Abbotsford, what about Langley and all the other communities?” she asked .
Good question. Perhaps 2016 will provide a few more answers.

Editor: Welcome to the latest ep-isode in the proposed Aldergrove “open air” swimming pool fi asco.
We are told: “Sorry, we cannot afford an indoor pool as promised, but we will give you an outdoor pool instead and put a canopy over it.” Brilliant.
Last week I went for my regular swim at W.C. Blair pool. After my swim I stood and looked at all the activity taking place there. Avid swimmers were doing laps in the fast lane, while novice swimmers were walking or swimming in the slower lanes. A class of more than 30 people was doing a water aer-obics class.
The instructor was leading them through the routines from the poolside. I also saw the mums and dads playing and splashing around with their young children. The large jacuzzi and diving areas were popular, as always.
I estimated about 100 people were using the pool. If you multi-ply that by the number of hours and days the pool is in operation, a lot of members of the communi-ty are using this facility on a reg-ular basis.
What would this look like if the walls around the pool were re-moved? How many people would still be there enjoying it between September and May? Very few, if any.
A canopy over the pool will not keep anyone warm in winter. To add insult to injury, a canopy would keep the sun out during the summer, eliminating the en-joyment of an open air pool. Talk about a double whammy.
Would it not make sense for the $1,574,000 dedicated for the can-opy to be put into a trust fund? It could be held there until the job can be done properly. You might also attract fundraising efforts, if there was a specifi c goal identifi ed for the project.
So, I say to the Township of Langley council, “Give us an in-door pool that can be used all year round as promised.” It is badly needed. Otherwise, just forget about the project until such time as the job can be done correctly.
An outdoor pool with a canopy will not work.

Editor: We do not need anoth-er (effectively) collector road to get where we are going — 48 Avenue and 216 Street are suffi -cient and by no means over-uti-lized.
Making improvements to Old Yale that encourage increased vehicular traffi c fl ow is both redundant and detracts from the spirit of the area’s historical designation.
If the road is rebuilt as an im-proved thoroughfare, we will certainly witness substantial increase in commuter traffi c utilizing it.
This will confl ict with the substantial and growing use of the corridor by both pedestrian and bicycle traffi c, detracting not only from an ‘enjoyment of use’ standpoint but also a safe-
ty standpoint as well.Speed will be an issue; the
perfect ‘rally road’ — long straightaway areas and a few exciting S-turns.
Without lighting and an abil-ity to widen suffi ciently, the in-creasing cyclist and pedestrian traffi c along it will be put at risk.
It is awesome that eventual-ly via the planned recreation-al corridor extension from the arboretum that there will be almost seamless connection to the City wetlands trail system through to LSS and the sports park.
To prioritize this in the plan-ning would be smart.
These are the sorts of legacy decisions that make communi-ties world class.
Or not.
It was a visionary decision by TOL to offi cially designate Old Yale east from Fraser Highway and the central 5 Corners area as a historical conservation area.
This should be built upon, not diminished.
Preserving these legacies will consequentially enhance com-munity values by encouraging pedestrian and bicycle traffi c and retaining a semblance of ‘Where City and Country Meet.’
The emphasis on this project should be to strengthen and preserve this for the future.
I strongly support an option that closes the road to through traffi c and emphasizes a contig-uous recreational corridor.
CLEVE STORDY,
LANGLEY
A historic photo shows construction work on Old Yale Road. Originally constructed in the late 19th centu-ry, the road was topped with concrete in 1923. The section of road which runs west from Five Corners in Murrayville is the last portion to retain the original concrete surface. Langley resident Cleve Stordy would like to see this historic section of Old Yale Road closed to traffi c and re-purposed as a recreational corridor for walkers and cyclists, rather than have it upgraded as the Township proposes to do.

Editor: I think Paul M. Bowman has used US and Canadian homi-cide per gun statistics all wrong (The Times, Dec. 23). As he correct-ly states the many fewer guns in Canada do in fact kill more people per gun than the hoards of guns in the US.
In the US there are more guns than people. The real issue is not the number of homicides per gun, but rather the number of homi-cides per person.
It is not really the number of guns in the US that is the prob-lem, it is the American attitude to-ward the use of guns. Their over-all attitude towards guns is to use them to kill people. Our Canadian attitude is that a gun is for sport
or for hunting.Using Mr Bowman’s statics, as
one of 36 million Canadians I have one chance in 272,898 of being killed by a gun.
My cousin in the US being one of 326 million Americans has a one in 40,173 chance of being killed by a gun. That means in the US you are almost seven times more like-ly to be killed by a gun than you are in Canada.
It is not guns that are the prob-lem it is people and the attitude of people toward guns and their use. The real truth is the Ameri-can attitude toward guns is the problem.

An unusually high number of Metro Vancouver homeowners are being warned they will get a sharply higher property assessment this month that may trigger an unwelcome property tax in-crease.
BC Assessment says it has sent out 37,000 early notifi cation letters across B.C., with almost two-thirds of them going to Metro Vancouver home owners. That’s signifi cantly more than most
years.“Early
notifi cation letters are mailed to property owners who can expect an increase of at least 15 per cent above the average increase in their local taxing juris-
diction,” said assessor Jason Grant. “We want to ensure impacted property owners
are aware of the signifi cant increases and we welcome them to contact us if they have any questions or concerns.”
Increases of 15 to 25 per cent will be typical for single-family detached houses in Vancouver, the North Shore, Burnaby, Tri Cities, New Westmin-ster, Richmond and Surrey, Grant said.
He said typical strata residential increases will be in the fi ve to 10 per cent range.
Homeowners in the City of Langley may see their assessments rise anywhere from 10 per cent to 14 percent, while average detached hous-es across the Township are expected to increase between 11 per cent and 12 per cent in assessed value.
The fi nal assessments that go out in early Janu-ary refl ect the market value as of July 1.

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 Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating 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 fi ght for good customer value.

More drivers were willing to pay to use the Golden Ears Bridge in 2015.
TransLink reported a more than 15 per cent increase in bridge tolls collected there for the fi rst nine months of the year.
The transportation authority is now forecasting it will col-lect $48.7 million in Golden Ears tolls for all of 2015, up nearly $5.2 million from what it bud-geted, and it anticipates further growth of 4.1 per cent in 2016.
The toll was increased in July to $3.10 per crossing for users with the TReO decal ($4.35 for unregistered users) and a sim-ilar increase for infl ation is ex-pected in 2016.
Meanwhile, the tolling equip-ment at the Golden Ears is slat-ed for replacement at a cost of $5 million in 2016 even though the bridge is only six and a half years old. TransLink’s capital budget cites “obsolescence and end of service life” for the need to replace the roadside technol-ogy and back offi ce systems.
Growth in traffi c over the bridge in part refl ects an in-crease in driving in general within Metro Vancouver as well as a rise in vehicles purchased, according to TransLink.
That also helped boost TransLink’s take from its 17-cent-a-litre gas tax — that was up about $8 million or 3.1 per cent in the fi rst nine months of the year.
TransLink has benefi tted from lower fuel and power costs and it projects fuel savings will in-crease in 2016 due to lower die-
sel prices and increased use of natural gas buses.
TransLink also plans to spend $900,000 in 2016 to study mobil-ity pricing.
The technical research could lead to an assessment of op-tions such as charging tolls at more crossings or per kilometre road use fees.
The province has indicated some form of bridge tolling re-form will be necessary if both the Massey Tunnel and Pattul-lo Bridge replacements end up tolled.
More bridge tolls fl ow to TransLinkUse of Golden Ears Bridge up in 2015
More drivers used the Golden Ears Bridge to cross the Fraser River in 2015. Vehicle traffi c on the toll bridge connecting Langley and Ma-ple Ridge/Pitt Meadows increased 15 per cent during the fi rst nine months of the year, according to a release from TransLink.

Valley Direct FurnitureThe New Year is here! A fresh year inevitably
brings with it a new chance to make a go at creating and keeping resolutions that improve your life. This year, how about making a home resolution for your interior design?
Valley Direct Furniture is a family run op-eration with its main store in Langley and an outlet store in Surrey. Our warehouse and stores are ‘chock-full’ of products with lots of new products on route.
Whether you’ve just moved into a new home or you’ve been living in the same place and your home just needs a pick-me-up, you can resolve to freshen up your home design with minimal cost or effort.
Think about the ambiance you want to feel when entering your home, eg bohemian, clean, fancy, comfortable, welcoming, like a sanctuary, lively, organized or eclectic. After you’ve made that decision, think about the things you need to do to achieve that feeling. It might be a new dining table, or a large print above the fireplace. A new coffee table or sec-tional for the media room. Brighten up the master bedroom with some matching lamps. Add a pop of color or excitement with a new area rug for the family room. Need some in-
spiration? Come visit us first. We devote a lot of our time sourcing out the newest, best and brightest designers and manufacturers to make your home unique and truly exciting.
The “reclaimed and rustic” look is very popular at the moment. The majority of our furniture is made to order. You can choose your fabric, your style. Custom sectionals are in strong demand. You’ll discover having something built that fits your room is worth the wait. We also have ready-made upholstery available to take home.
Pull out the tape measure and take mea-surements of your room, along with door-ways and entrances, to get an idea of the space you’re working with. Before you buy it, get a feel for what a furniture piece will feel like in your living space by measuring it and putting tape down on your floor using the dimensions of the piece. This will help ensure you leave room for movement in your living space. Go for quality, not quantity!
This season we have delivered a lot of cus-tom dining room tables. Here you have lots of decisions to make: round, square or rect-angle? Leg style or pedestal? Flexible with leaves or fixed tops? Buffets and hutches are

out with the old, in with the newstill available, however, today we normally do just the buffet with perhaps a print above in-stead of the hutch. Art is something we have a lot of at Valley. We carry some very large pieces and it will give you a much newer look.
The last six months we have been developing some new lines that will be arriving shortly.
One of our new launches is a reclaimed solid wood line that has a real rustic look and clean finish. We’ll be offering multiple size ta-bles, along with occasional coffee tables, buf-fets, consoles, end tables, tv stands.
This spring, look for a beautiful grey wash distressed finish on many items, which is fam-ily friendly and perfect for every day use. Be-cause our products are solid wood, down the road refinishing is a practical option, so you can continue to love the well built bones of your furniture, and give it a beautiful make-over to make it look like something brand new to you.
We’re also looking forward to some sharp new leather upholstery arriving in February, along with a wood and concrete mix table that you’ll find in occasional, ends, consoles, round and rectangular dining options.
We believe that furniture is fashion, so con-
stantly new differing colors, textures and looksare always changing. At the moment our ac-cessories are flying out the door! We carry abig selection of vintage —so popular rightnow— to add that pop of fun to any room.
Wooden beds are selling in greys, whites and different wood stains, however fully up-holstered complete beds are also popular andselling well.
The New Year is a chance for a fresh start. Transform your home with fresh, new furni-ture pieces. Is there a sag in your favorite re-cliner, an archaic coffee table in the center of the living room, or a big lump in the centerof your mattress? Outdated or worn out fur-niture can be unpleasant to look at and even worse, can make you uncomfortable whenyou use it. Use this New Year as a springboard to pick out some new, quality furniture thatwill last you for years to come. So, whether it is a new sofa, or a new set of bar stools for your kitchen, or a hostess gift or a complete homemakeover, Valley Direct has lots of options.We are passionate about what we do.

Langley-born counsellor-turned-playwright Kevin Kokoska stars in his fi rst ever production at the Cultch in Vancouver Jan. 14-16.
Submitted photo
MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter
When Kevin Kokoska was sent to facilitate a binge-eating disorder camp in California, he thought he would be changing lives.
Little did he know, he was the one to go through the greatest transformation.
Working at the camp during a practicum for his counselling psychology masters at UBC, Kokoksa says he was taken aback by how challenging it was for him — a healthy, young Canadian — to connect with some rather unhealthy American youth.
“It was harder than I had anticipated to fi nd a way to connect with these people,” said Kokoska, a DW Poppy grad, Kwantlen Polytechnic University basketball alumni and former youth worker on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
“(I was) trying things I had learned in school, and some (were) working out better than others. How do you build that bond while staying true to yourself in this setting? How do you be yourself within the parameters … how do I bring myself to work in the way the camp wants it done, which may not be congruent with my way?”
It was a journey of self-awareness, and one that Kokoska is now sharing through one of his favourite forms of communication — theatre.
The Mirror Test — aptly named for its themes of self-recognition — runs Jan. 14-16 at the Cultch in Vancouver.
Starring Kokoska as himself and the personalities of several
attendees at the camp, he commands the stage alone for the full 75 minute production.
“There’s various characters in the play, but primarily it’s a relationship with me, or a version of me, and one other male camper that is a fi ctionalized person (and) a combination of different themes to create a character that mirrors off of me,” Kokoska explained.
“I’ve been taught this thing, which is how to do psycho therapy or the very basic version of that. Even in that sense, that’s a character. That’s the Kevin who’s learning how to be a therapist … that’s different from the real Kevin.
“There’s always different versions of self, so I had this new version of self that’s therapist Kevin. Let’s bring him down to California to see if he can connect with these young people. But when that doesn’t go well, then what do you do? At some point you’ve got to bring the real Kevin into the mix, and how does that go and how does that mix?
“It’s my struggles trying to fi gure that out. Finding how to get that connection, when I have very little experience doing it in a therapeutic way.”
Although this is the fi rst time Kokoska has created his own theatre production, it is not his fi rst introduction to acting. He fell in love with the art while completing a writing course, prior to his masters.
“What I found was that the most exciting part about the writing program was when we would go to cafes and read the work out loud,” Kokoska said.
“There was something about reading out loud that I enjoyed more than writing it and passing it on to someone else just to read off the paper.
“I had no experience or training in theatre, but things kind of came together for me when I returned to do my masters at UBC. Studying to be a counsellor requires a lot of acting and role play. Before we would actually see clients ourselves, we would be each other’s clients and I would take something going on in my life and I would ramp it up for the benefi t of them having someone to practice on.
“And then I thought, ‘I like this so much. I’m supposed to be learning how to be a counsellor, but I’m enjoying pretending to be a client just as much. So I better do something about this.’”
He started taking theatre classes at UBC and other acting
schools in Vancouver. And although his masters is now complete, Kokoska still considers The Mirror Test as the thesis of his work.
“The connection of having your friends and family and other audience members there — that’s a thrill to me, having that human connection that I think you don’t get with just the writing.”
To build on this, Kokoska is also working on a new teaching program to bring therapy into acting.
Partnering with an acting coach, the sessions will show actors how to safely access personal emotions for scenes.
“It’s very common for an actor to get into character and enter through emotion,” Kokoska said.
“It seems like actors are just triggering themselves for a living. If some of those scary emotions haven’t been processed or are really new, that can bleed into your personal life if you’re not careful. (It’s about) being able to separate it and being able to be more self-aware of where these emotions are coming from.
“I think it’s healthy for the work (and) I think it’s very healthy for the individual.”

TILE TIP: If your tiles look hazy, you might be dealing with soapy residue. Remove the fi lm with a nonabrasive all-purpose cleaner. You could also try a mild acid -- such as fresh lemon juice -- on ceramic tiles (but never on marble). Rinse thoroughly with clean water, and buff dry with a clean lint-free cloth. Be kind to your knees and dry tiles the easy way: by using your foot to slide the cloth over the fl oor.

Thirty-four female hockey teams from around the Lower Mainland hit the ice at Sportsplex last week for the annual Langley Girls Ice Hockey Association Angels on Ice Tournament. Included in the mix was the Langley Lightning (black jerseys) novice C1 team who battled the Tri Cities Predators C2 squad on Dec. 29. Clockwise from above: Langley’s Talia Caps bats at the puck; Asha Bal tries to get a step on her Pred-ators opponent; and Makenna Mussato escapes the zone against a pair of Tri Cities defenders.

Four Langley junior B hockey players are set to skate in next week’s Pacifi c Junior Hockey League all-star game.

ference all-star squad.And making the roster for the
Tom Shaw Conference is Delta Ice Hawks forward Michael Rand.
Rand leads his team in both goals (14) and points (38) while Callegari is tops among all Ko-diaks players in goals with 19 and is tied for second in points with 32.
Lavallee has two goals and 13 points on the season while Campbell has four goals and six points.
The two teams hit the ice on Monday night (Jan. 11) at the Mis-sion Leisure Centre.
•••The Knights host the Port
Moody Panthers tomorrow (Thursday) at the George Preston Recreation Centre.
Langley is coming off a pair of losses, 5-1 to Aldergrove on Jan. 2 and 4-1 to the Richmond Sock-eyes on Jan. 3.

Rivermen hammer Spruce Kings
A pair of Langley hockey clubs earned silver medals on home ice.
The teams were among those com-peting in various age groups at the an-nual Langley Girls Ice Hockey Associa-tion Angles on Ice Tournament, which was held Dec. 27 to 30 at Sportsplex.
Thirty-four teams, with players as young as fi ve, from across the Lower Mainland, Whitehorse, Seattle and Vancouver Island hit the ice for the four days of action.
The Lightning squad came second in the atom C1 division, falling to the
Abbotsford Ice in the championship fi nal.
And another Langley team was run-ner-up in the peewee division, losing to the Tri-City Predators in the fi nals.
The other championship fi nals were:
Surrey Falcons defeating the South Delta Thunderstorm in atom C2; the Cowichan Valley Capitals beat the Richmond Ravens in the bantam fi -nal; and the Abbotsford Ice topped the Meadow Ridge Barracudas in the midget fi nal.
Silver linings for LightningAfter ending 2015
with a narrow loss, the Langley Rivermen broke out in the new year with a seven-goal explosion as they hammered the Prince George Spruce Kings.
Seven different Lang-ley players — Jason O’Neill, Will Campion, Matty Saharchuk, Ryan Barrow, Max Kaufman, Troy Ring and Justin Schneider — found the back of the net in the victory while Matthew
Graham set up a pair of goals.
The score was 2-1 for Langley after 20 min-utes but the Rivermen blew things open with a fi ve-goal third period, including goals from Kaufman and Ring 21 seconds apart.
Bo Didur stopped 19 of the 20 shots he faced.
In the 2-1 loss to the Chiefs last week (Dec. 30) at Chilliwack’s Prospera Arena, Justin
Fregona had the lone Rivermen goal.
Langley improved to 22-14-0-0 and 45 points. The Rivermen are back in Chilliwack tonight (Wednesday) for a rematch with the Mainland Divi-sion-leading Chiefs (24-8-4-0, 53 points).
Langley also has a pair of games on Van-couver Island this weekend against Co-wichan Valley (Jan. 9) and Victoria (Jan. 10).

PHILIPEvelyn Margaret
(nee: Curran)October 5, 1924 - December 10, 2015
Born, raised, and educated in Saskatoon, Evelyn taught home economics across the country at extension, high school, college, and university levels, including at MacDonald Institute at Guelph University, where she met her husband, Hugh. While raising their fami-ly in Sardis, our mom worked for Chilliwack Community Ser-vices and our dad practiced veterinary medicine. They re-tired to their Aldergrove acreage, frequently traveled,
and enjoyed visits with their grandchildren.Always active, our mom contributed many hours of service to both minor hockey and Pony Club and later knitted tirelessly for hospital gift shops. She was a skillful and innovative English smocker who taught all over North America.Our talented and resourceful mom was much loved and will be greatly missed by those who survive her: her husband (Hugh); chil-dren Wendy (Mark), Neil, and Brenda (Joakim); grandchildren Lliam and Kaley (Travis); and many nieces, nephews, and friends. She was predeceased by her parents and siblings (Elspeth and Alexan-der). The many stories recently shared with us, demonstrate that Mom’s handmade items continue to be enjoyed and valued by many in and beyond our family.In the past few years our mom received wonderful care from the loving staff at Harrison Landing, Langley Gardens (Empress), and at Simpson Manor, where she quietly passed away.At Evelyn’s request, there will be no service. Donations to the Alz-heimer Society of BC or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

DRIEDIGERJohn
March 28, 1946 ~ January 2, 2016
John Driediger passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus after a long illness with cancer on January 2, 2016. He is survived by lov-ing wife, Linda, son: Chad, daughters: Carrie-Ann Rast (Randy) and Lisa Driediger, grandchildren: Jordan Rast, Natalie Rast, Paige Waddell and Gabrielle Waddell and great-grandson, Leo Rast as well as sisters, Helena Frie-sen and Anne Epp (Ron) and brothers, Diet (Nettie) and Dave (Bonnie) plus oth-er in-laws, nieces, nephews and relatives. He was pre-
deceased by brothers: Abe and Jake and sisters: Kathy, Betty and Judy. John was born on March 28, 1946 to Abraham and Elizabeth (nee Froese) Driediger in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He always said that at the age of eight months he had the good sense to move his family to BC where they built a home at 5115 Brown Road, Langley. He attended Aldergrove Secondary School where he met his one true love, Linda Ollinger. They were married June 26, 1965. John lived his life in light of eternity taking steps of faith each day. In 1979 John and Linda sold their family business, Driediger’s Meats, to join staff with Power to Change (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ). John was a man of faith, wisdom, love, compassion, quick wit and strong convic-tions. What gave his life meaning and purpose was his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He walked with God and had a passion to share that walk with others. He loved the participants in Addiction Recovery Ministry and they loved him back as he helped them win their struggle with addiction. He always had to say, “One more thing!” or “I have an idea.” Whatever he put his mind and heart to he excelled at. John was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He loved his family, his ministry, his many friends, his dog Jake, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Dallas Cowboys, riding horses, playing golf. He will be dearly missed. Special thanks to the staff at Christine Morrison Hospice for their special care of John. Viewing will be held on Friday, January 8, 2016 from 7:00 - 9:00 pm at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford. Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, January 9, 2016 at 11:00 am at Sevenoaks Alliance Church, 2575 Gladwin Road, Abbotsford.
