Trial begins in New Year’s Eve

killing

Langley man charged in five-week spree of bank robberies

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

The second degree murder tri-al against Langley resident Jason Brewer has started in B.C. Su-preme Court in New Westminster.

On Monday, Crown counsel Ran-jit Khangura told a judge that the Crown will set out to prove that Brewer, 26, stabbed his friend Cole Manning, 40, to death in Brewer’s bedroom inside his Willoughby basement suite on New Year’s Eve 2012.

The trial is expected to take three weeks, with Crown calling 11 wit-nesses, mainly police offi cers, a blood spatter expert, forensic ex-pert, some of Brewer’s friends, his then-girlfriend’s mother and the pathologist who did the autopsy.

At the conclusion of jury se-lection, Brewer decided to enter a not guilty plea and the trial is now with a judge alone. Members of Manning’s family were in the courtroom.

Brewer sat listening in the pris-oner’s box, wearing a blue golf shirt, with his brown hair cropped short and a trimmed goatee. He has sleeves of tattoos.

Times Reporter

Charges have been laid against a Langley man who is accused of robbing or attempting to rob no fewer than seven banks in the Lower Mainland during a fi ve week span, from Jan. 27 to March 4, 2015.

Thomas Dennis Prosser, 36, was arrested by Ridge Meadows RCMP on March 4, after a lone male entered a Bank of Montreal in the 20600 block of Lougheed Highway in Maple Ridge.

Police say the man indicated that he had a gun and was able to fl ee the bank with an undis-closed amount of money.

Investigators of Ridge Meadow RCMP’s Street Enforcement Unit

had earlier viewed photographs of a suspect believed to be re-sponsible for a string of six bank robberies in Langley and Surrey.

Believing the suspect they had in custody was also responsi-ble for those robberies, they contacted RCMP in Surrey and Langley.

A search warrant was execut-ed at Prosser’s Langley residence and all investigative fi ndings were forwarded to Crown Coun-sel who approved seven counts of robbery. Prosser remains in custody pending a court appear-ance.

In addition to the March 4 rob-bery in Maple Ridge, the charges against Prosser stem from inci-

dents which took place on Jan. 26, Feb. 17, Feb. 20, Feb. 27 and March 3.

The fi rst robbery took place at a Royal Bank in Surrey, where a man entered the bank and pro-duced a note indicating that he was armed and demanding money. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken.

On Feb. 17, the man attempt-ed to rob the Westminster Sav-ings Credit Union, located in the 20800 block of Fraser Highway in Langley.

In this instance, no cash was obtained.

Three days later, on Feb. 20, the man entered the TD Canada Trust in the 18600 block of Fras-

er Hwy. in Surrey and produced a note indicating that he was armed. Once again, the suspect departed with an undisclosed amount of money.

Similar incidents occurred on Feb. 27 at an HSBC in the 20000 block of the Langley Bypass, on March 3 at a Surrey Scotia Bank and again on March 3 at an Al-dergrove CIBC.

In each of those cases, the sus-pect once again produced a note and managed to get away with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Police are continuing their in-vestigation and asking anyone who may have further informa-tion to call them or Crime Stop-pers at 1-800-222-8477.

20258 FRASER HIGHWAY604.533.4157 • www.langleyt imes.com


A 36-year-old Langley City woman is behind bars after police linked her to thousands of pieces of stolen mail, some coming from her own apartment complex.

Sarah Lea-Anne Arnet is charged with one count of iden-tity theft. She made her most recent appearance in Surrey Pro-vincial Court on Thursday, March 12.

In the early part of February, a large amount of stolen mail was recovered from a storage locker in a Langley apartment com-plex.

The mail was discovered by the owner of the storage locker who recognized the signifi cance of what he had found and called po-lice. Langley RCMP estimate be-tween 8,000 and 10,000 pieces of stolen mail were recovered.

Selected pieces of mail were ex-amined by Forensic Identifi cation Services and forensic evidence linked the mail to Arnet. The in-vestigation disclosed Arnet, for-merly of Kamloops, was, in fact, a tenant of the Langley City apart-ment complex.

The investigation continued for some time and police were able to obtain a search warrant for Ar-net’s apartment.

The warrant was executed on Thursday, March 5 and approx-imately 6,000 pieces of stolen mail, identity cards, credit cards,

computers, cellphones and data storage devices were seized. The mail recovered belonged to people in jurisdictions all over the Lower Main-land, as well as several cities in the interior of B.C.

Arnet has remained in custody since her arrest.

Arnet had several con-victions in Kamloops, where she lived before moving to Langley some-time around 2012. She was involved in theft here, and was given a conditional sentence for four counts of posses-sion of stolen property under $5,000 that year.

Mail theft continues to be a rampant problem throughout the suburbs of Metro Vancouver. Last year, Langley held the dubious distinction of mail theft capital of Can-ada, as announced by Canada Post.

“In collaboration with Canada Post postal in-spectors, all police agen-cies continue to work collectively to tackle the problem of mail theft. Excellent analyt-ical work, information sharing and evidence recovery all con-tribute to a solution. We cannot

stress enough — the greatest solution to the problem is also the easiest to invoke. We need everyone to collect your mail dai-

ly. If it is not there, it cannot be stolen,” said Langley RCMP Supt. Murray Power.

“The secondary fraud-related

offences are even more invasive and damaging to our citizens, so diligence is crucial and appreci-ated here.”

Mail theft continues to be a rampant problem in Langley and other parts of B.C., as was highlighted by the recovery of between 8,000 and 10,000 pieces of stolen mail from a Langley City apartment complex.

Charges have been laid against a 19-year-old Langley man accused of breaking into people’s Walnut Grove homes while they slept last October.

Greyszen Beszedes is charged with fi ve counts of break and enter and one count each of mischief, attempted theft and as-sault with a weapon.

Police believe Beszedes has moved to On-tario and warrants for his arrest have been issued.

The break-ins took place between Oct. 2 and 21, 2014 in the Walnut Grove area. These burglaries occurred overnight when the homeowners were in bed, sleeping.

For the most part, there was no forced entry; the homes had been left insecure either by an open window or unlocked door, said police.

Items taken were generally smaller in nature — wallets, cellphones, iPads, laptops, chequebooks and video games, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

Part of Langley Street Enforce-ment Unit’s (SEU) mandate is to look at property crime of-fences and recognize patterns and trends.

The North Langley cat bur-

glary investigation was an example of this type of case.

Police allege Beszedes is re-sponsible for these burglar-ies, after he was observed by a resident breaking into a car parked on a nearby street. That person awoke due to the sound and was able to restrain Beszedes until police arrived.

“With the warmer weather upon us, many will choose to leave doors and windows open to welcome the fresh air and sunshine. Please remem-

ber to consider security as well,” said Cpl. Holly Marks.

“It’s easy to forget windows have been left open as you head to bed and unfortu-nately, this gives the criminal an oppor-tunity. Make sure you do one last pass around the house in the evening to make sure all the possible entrance points have been properly secured.”

He is described as Caucasian, 5’3” tall, 130 lbs. with short brown hair. If you have information that would assist police to execute these arrest warrants, please call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Four businesses were impacted by a fi re that destroyed a commer-cial building in the 20500 block of Lang-ley Bypass on Tuesday, March 10.

“This was a substan-tial fi re,” said Langley City fi re chief Rory Thompson.

The cause of the fi re isn’t known yet and may not be known for sometime, said Thompson.

“We are wanting to

get a structural en-gineer out there. We need to ensure the building is safe to en-ter before we bring in a fi re investigator,” he said.

Around 9:45 p.m., a person driving by saw fl ames and called it in. Langley City fi re crews arrived to fl ames vent-ing out the roof and windows, said Thomp-son.

The plume of smoke shot hundreds of feet into the sky. The fi re could be seen and

smelled as far away as Murrayville.

A total of 50 fi refi ght-ers were on scene from both the City and the Township, with four engines and three lad-der trucks.

Several acetylene tanks exploded inside the building.

The roof also col-lapsed. Firefi ghters

were battling the blaze until about 3 a.m.

The businesses in-side the building in-cluded a motorbike and scooter shop, radi-ator business, automo-tive shop and tile store.

At least one of the businesses said it is currently looking for a place to relocate, and it hopes to re-open soon.

Crown revealed on the opening day that Man-ning’s toxicology report showed he had no alco-hol or drugs in his system when he was killed.

Crown said that phone records will show that Manning and Brewer had communicated sever-al times over the week leading up to Manning’s death.

The night of the murder, the two had arranged to meet at Brewer’s basement suite located near 196 Street and 69 Avenue. Brewer had just moved in there a few days beforehand.

Crown intends to show that Manning’s body was found on Brewer’s bed with a knife in his neck.

Khangura said they will show text messag-es Brewer made after Manning was killed and the 911 call made by Brewer’s long-time friend. Crown alleges Brewer went to see his long-time friend after the murder to confess what he had done.

Afterwards, his friend phoned 911.Police were able to track Brewer by pinging his

cellphone. Crown said Brewer was on his way to his friend’s house in Abbotsford so police got there fi rst.

When he saw them there, he fl ed in his car and a short but eventful pursuit took place. It took several police cars ramming his vehicle to effect his arrest. Brewer was taken down on 264 Street, near the Greater Vancouver Zoo.

Khangura said DNA found on Brewer’s jeans upon his arrest match the victim’s.

Evidence collected in the bedroom show that there was a bank deposit envelope with $20 in-side it beside Manning’s body.

No alleged motive was discussed in court. Crown is expected to spend more than a week examining witnesses.

Mark Johnson was 21 years old when his life changed for-ever. He had only been working at a sawmill for nine months when he nearly died in a work-place incident. He was clean-ing out a wood chipper when his left arm became trapped in heavy machinery.

He didn’t lose his arm, but today has limited wrist and shoulder function.

Eight years later, the Maple Ridge resident wants more young people and employers to be better prepared on the job to prevent workplace injuries from occurring. That’s just one of the messages he delivered to youth at Mission Communi-ty Skills Centre in Langley on Thursday.

WorkSafe BC organized the talk to Langley youth.

“No amount of work is worth losing a limb, or even a fi nger,” Johnson told the teens. “I want people to think about how their family would react if they didn’t come home.”

While the injury rate for all young workers has improved, the rate at which young males are injured continues to be higher than the provincial av-erage.

In 2013, 6,540 young workers were injured – on average 26 per day – and six young workers were killed on the job.

“Whether they’re young or old, the same thing applies to all workers,” says Johnson. “What counts most on the job is

staying in one piece and getting home in one piece.”

He said young workers feel pressure to produce and safety can be overlooked.

In Johnson’s accident, his muscles and tendons became detached. Despite multiple sur-geries, doctors wanted to am-putate but he decided to keep his arm, even though it has lit-tle mobility.

He has gone through diffi cult and dark moments in his life but at one point he decided to change his outlook and worked hard to fi nd a new normal.

“I’m back to snowboarding and slo-pitch baseball. I coach the team and can bat one-hand-ed, hit the ball pretty far, catch with my right arm . . .”

Mark Johnson was badly injured while cleaning out a wood chipper at work eight years ago. Now the Maple Ridge man is talking to teens about the importance of safety on the job. He delivered that message to a group of young workers at the Mission Community Skills Centre in Langley last week.KHALID HAWE submitted photo

Is Langley Township communicating well with residents over planning and development issues?

Do you plan to vote in the plebiscite on the proposed new transportation and transit tax??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

Over the weekend, there were numerous protests against the federal government’s Bill C-51, which proposes a number of new mea-sures to combat the prospects of terrorism.

The Conservative government has proposed giving additional powers to the RCMP and CSIS, the Ca-nadian Security Intelligence Service. Many of those pro-testing say these new powers will strip privacy from many Canadian residents. They also argue that both the RCMP and CSIS do not have suffi cient independent oversight.

The Liberals have already said they will support the bill, and make amendments if they are elected as the govern-ment in the election this fall. NDP MPs, on the other hand, are stalwart foes of the bill.

The very different reactions from the two opposition parties speak volumes about the perceptions of this bill. The Liberals are clearly banking on the broad support among Canadians for more counter-terrorism measures, in the wake of the attack on Parliament Hill last fall and numerous homegrown terror plots.

The NDP, on the other hands, is taking its traditional princi-pled approach, in standing up for civil rights over enhanced anti-terrorism measures. The principled stance gets them plenty of positive mentions, but often does not translate into votes. Virtually all polls show the NDP will fi nish third in the election, barring a last-minute shift by voters.

The need for enhanced anti-terrorism measures is pret-ty clear. However, there should be more oversight of both CSIS and the RCMP, should they be granted new powers. At the very least, there needs to be a Parliamentary commit-tee with MPs from all sides taking an ongoing close look at just how these new powers are being used.

News fl ash: New referendum poll fi nds strong lead for ‘No’ side.

When everyone wakes up after the votes are counted and the 0.5 per cent transit tax has been voted down, if the polls are to be be-

lieved, who will notice?Buses will still be crowded during rush hour. Traffi c will

still be gridlocked at choke points throughout the region. And buses will run infrequently at night or not at all.

Of course, ‘No’ spokesperson Jordan Bateman of the Ca-nadian Taxpayers Federation will be pleased and can up-date his LinkedIn account to apply for better jobs while Premier Christy Clark can check off an election campaign promise, a referendum on transportation fi nancing that was doomed from the start.

Let’s face it, as we know from the HST vote, it’s hard to convince people to pay more taxes now for a future ben-efi t but easy to tap into public anger about government spending, regardless of how out of context or inaccurate the information on which the anger is based.

TransLink is the straw man in this debate — also the scapegoat and the scourge — and to beat down this per-ceived demon, people would rather have crappy roads and transit well into the future.

It’s crazy but in the aftermath of the transit referendum, it will be too late to reconsider.

That’s because the only opportunity to prove that the ‘Yes’ side might have been right won’t come for another 10 or 20 years.

By then, many of the folks who are on different sides of this vote will be retired or dead, and their kids will be dealing with the fallout from referendum results.

These are today’s college and high school students who will be saddled with the hefty retirement pensions for those who voted against the proposed sales tax hike. They’re the ones who will be sitting in gridlock or waiting for buses and who will see good jobs disappear to places with better transportation infrastructure.

They might wonder, those taxpayers of tomorrow, whether an opportunity to do something better was lost along the way.

But that’s OK, because we’ll have given TransLink a smack on the nose and, for today at least, that seems to be the most important thing.

Langley success storyGrocery shoppers, and that’s

most of us, are likely aware that Overwaitea, the parent company of the well-known Save-On-Foods chain, is celebrating its 100th birth-day as a B.C.-owned and operated company.

In today’s business world, that is a remarkable milestone. And in the highly-competitive grocery busi-ness, where margins on products are often razor-thin, it is even more impressive.

What many people may not be aware of is how strong and long-lived the connec-tion is between Overwaitea and Langley.

The company’s head offi ce has been lo-cated in Langley for many years — going back at least as far as the 1980s. It was located here after Overwaitea moved its warehouse operations from Burnaby to Langley, north of Highway 1, in 1980.

Nowadays, most of its warehousing is still done here.

Its presence here goes back much fur-ther, though, as there was an Overwaitea store in Langley Prairie (now Langley City) as far back as the 1920s. A photo of that early-day store appears in the company’s 100th anniversary book, The Overwaitea Story, on sale at Save-On-Foods stores.

Its unusual name came from founder R.C. Kidd’s practice of selling 18 ounces of tea for the price charged for 16 ounces — “over weight tea.”

One of the most interesting things about Overwaitea is the stability of ownership. In its 100 years, it has basically had just two owners. The fi rst was the Kidd fami-ly. R.C. Kidd founded the fi rm in 1915, with the fi rst store on Columbia Street in New Westminster.

It grew to a series of stores in B.C. com-munities — in the Lower Mainland, on Vancouver Island and in the interior. When

R.C. Kidd died in 1932, his wife Anne and then his son and daugh-ter were the controlling owners, with many employees also holding shares in the company.

The Kidd family interests con-trolled the company until 1968, when Jim Pattison took over as owner. Initially, Overwaitea was owned through his publicly-listed Neon Products company, but Pat-tison’s businesses have been pri-vately-owned since the 1970s.

What Pattison did when he took over was give the company access to capital to grow. Overwaitea had always been well-re-spected in the marketplace, but by the late 1960s, it was unable to always keep up with its competitors. It also did not have much chance to obtain the best store loca-tions, particularly in the Lower Mainland, because of bigger players in the market.

As Clarence Heppell, president from 1971-89 (who, as a high school student, be-gan working at the Cloverdale Overwaitea in the 1940s), says in the book, Pattison’s ownership changed many things.

Heppell and other senior managers, ex-perienced and well-connected to the com-munity, were now able to pursue new con-cepts in grocery marketing and build the business signifi cantly.

One of the main innovations was the Save-On-Foods concept, which began small as Prairie Market and then Your Mark-It Foods, which had a Langley store. It turned into Save-On-Foods in 1982. The concept proved to be a big hit with consumers and Overwaitea became a major presence in the B.C. (and later, Alberta) marketplaces.

There have been continued changes, but Overwaitea continues to be a major pres-ence in Langley, with four Save-On-Foods stores, the head offi ce and warehouses. It’s a very important part of this community.

Langley City task force articlewas lacking in context

Editor: With respect to the article titled “Neighbour-hood ‘perfect storm’ for crime,” (The Times, March 3), I be-lieve you have helped make the situation in downtown Langley City worse.

I believe the article sensationalizes the problems and does not establish any context that someone unfamil-iar with the downtown could relate to. This happened by using statements meant to be provocative, that were made to a knowledgeable group, as a basis for your story.

This, in my opinion, would cause anyone who did not live or work in the downtown to stay away.

My family and I have been in business in the down-town for 23 years. I have lived adjacent to Douglas Park for nearly 10 years. The city you describe is not the city I live in.

I am well aware of the problems, and so is the City. I

have discussed them with the mayor and councillors. I believe council to be engaged and committed.

These problems are mostly not of the City’s making, and solving them needs assistance from all sources. Hence the task forces on crime and homelessness to which you were invited.

My business brings many thousands of families with young children into the downtown. I know of no inci-dent or harm to any of them ever. And we are just one business.

I asked two of my elderly neighbours if they felt safe living downtown. They replied “absolutely.”

You may have been trying to help. But there are much better ways to get the message across.

TERRY CAUSTON,LANGLEY

Editor: How could seven mayors institute a provincial tax? Since when do mayors have the power or the right to bring in a provincial tax? They do not.

That is what this ‘yes’ or ‘no’ plebiscite is all about — giving permision for a tax promoted by city mayors. It will fail, as they have no power to do such a thing. Instituting a provincial tax is the responsibility of the provincial gov-ernment, not the mayors.

It seems to me that our provincial government has used similar techniques as in the movie, “The Sting” — once over the initial hurdle, which in this case was convincing the mayors to take on this issue, our Provincial govern-ment thinks it is free and clear. It is not.

These seven mayors were coerced into this position of failure. There is no way the ‘yes’ vote will succeed, and then our provincial government will blame the mayors.

The seven mayors should never have taken on this is-sue. This is the provincial government’s problem, and we pay MLAs to take care of it. It is time it took care of busi-ness, instead of telling us all about how well it has bal-anced the budget.

Editor: Am I confi dent that TransLink will be more re-sponsible with the 0.5 per cent tax than it has been to date, if the referendum passes? And do I have faith that the 0.5 per cent tax won’t increase to one or two per cent or even more, if the mayors and TransLink discover that 0.5 per cent isn’t enough? Defi nitely not.

The amount of waste that TransLink is responsible for is atrocious. For example, having six boards of directors, paying two CEOs exorbitant salaries, a million here, half a million there and on and on. TransLink is a bottomless pit that is already raking in our tax dollars from gasoline, parking, property taxes and Hydro levies.

Incidentally, the estimates for the two most expensive parts of the project (for Surrey LRT and the Vancouver Broadway subway) were done several years ago. One engi-neer said it might go up or down 15 per cent, but he didn’t think it would double or triple. How reassuring. How many things go down in price? Nothing that I know of.

If you have a hole in a bucket, the common sense ap-proach is to repair it before you add any more water. Before we are asked to give any more money to a badly-broken sys-tem such as TransLink, there needs to be a major reduction of waste and some defi nite accountability in place.

This proposed tax increase might be a drop in the bucket for the mayors, many of whom earn six-fi gure salaries, but it’s a different matter for low-income families and seniors.

If the ‘yes’ vote wins, my concern is that they will soon say that 0.5 per cent isn’t enough, because of unforeseen expenses or increased prices since previous estimates were done. This tax will keep escalating on a regular basis for the rest of our lives. I will be voting ‘no’ until they stop wasting our money and give us more information about possible fu-ture increases in this tax. Better yet, let the BC government use some of its $879 million surplus to fund it.

Financial disputes involving less than $10,000 will soon be directed to an online “civil resolution tri-bunal,” in an effort by the B.C. government to keep them from clog-ging up the courts.

The new tribunal will also provide a place to resolve strata dis-putes, which now have only the costly B.C. Supreme Court option if strata councils can’t resolve them, Justice Minister Su-zanne Anton said.

Anton presented legislation last week to create the new tribunal, which is to come into effect later this year. She said it will begin as a

voluntary option, and later a deposit will be required for those who want to go directly to court instead.

Anton said B.C. is the fi rst jurisdiction in the world to establish an online dispute res-olution tribunal. The government estimates that 40,000 people a year will eventually use the tribunal.

“The really big change for stratas is that there is now a place for minor strata

issues to go to,” Anton said. “Everybody knows somebody

who has been in a strata night-mare.

Small claims, strata disputes to be sent to

online tribunal

Fancy That!

The completion of South Langley regional trail to 264 Street prompted an offi cial ribbon-cutting Saturday. Mayor Jack Froese and Councillors Bob Long and Blair Whitmarsh joined with Jack Breaks, who led vol-unteer efforts by the Back Country Horsemen of B.C.’s Aldergrove chapter in completing the trail.

KURT LANGMANN Black Press

South Langley regional trail openedHorse riders, walkers,

and cyclists will now be able to travel from Campbell Valley Re-gional Park all the way

through to Aldergrove Lake Park, thanks to the completion of the South Langley Region-al Trail.

A “missing link” in the shared use trail has been completed by the Township of Lang-ley with volunteer help

from the Back Coun-try Horsemen of BC’s (BCHBC) Aldergrove Chapter. Members of the club pledged their

time, manpower, and machinery to help complete the trail, and the new portion was offi cially opened in the 25800 block of 8 Ave-nue, just east of 256 Street, on Saturday.

“This is a beautiful area of our municipali-ty and many people will get great enjoyment out of this trail,” said May-or Jack Froese. “We are very grateful to the Back Country Horsemen for all they did to make this possible.”

“They were excellent partners and a great group to work with,” Township Parks De-sign and Development Manager Al Neufeld said of the Horsemen, who spent more than three years moving dirt, cutting brush, and clearing a pathway.

Many members of the Back Country Horsemen live in the area, and the BCH-BC’s mission is to give equestrians a safe and social opportunity to learn about trail rid-ing and the wilderness experience. The club also works with gov-ernments, businesses, and other recreational users to preserve and enhance public land for all trail users.

“Often it’s about something fairly minor, like a tree or a parking spot.

“There hasn’t been a forum to have a resolution to those disputes.”

The tribunal will operate in three stages. The fi rst is an ap-plication submitted to a web-site describing the claim, with an opportunity for response from the other party.

That service will be offered free, and includes information and self-help suggestions to settle the dispute without fur-

ther intervention.If that fails, the second stage

would bring in a mediator to seek an agreed settlement of the dispute.

The third stage would be sending the dispute to a tri-bunal member for arbitration. Fees for the second two stages have not yet been established.

Tony Gioventu, executive di-rector of the non-profi t Con-dominium Home Owners As-sociation of B.C., welcomed the new approach. But he cau-tioned there will be a learning curve for strata councils.

“Education will be essential

and CHOA is committed to working with the strata com-munity to ensure the creation of a system that provides good justice in a timely manner that works for all strata corpora-tions,” Gioventu said.

The B.C. government has used mediation before in an effort to relieve the load on provincial and B.C. Supreme Court. The Family Law Act of 2011 was designed to encour-age out-of-court settlements of property and parental re-sponsibility disputes when marriages and common-law relationships end.

Referendum Questions is a Black Press series explor-ing issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and transportation referendum. Voters must mail in ballots by May 29 on whether they support the addition of a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region, called the Conges-tion Improvement Tax, to fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades.

This is the fi rst in the series. Read more on our website at langleytimes.com

The Yes and No sides use very different esti-mates of what the extra 0.5 per cent Congestion Improvement Tax will cost the typical family.

The Mayors’ Council pegs the per household cost of the sales tax hike at an average of $125 per year based on statistics on spending patterns and how much the province now collects in PST from the region.

It says the increase works out to 35 cents a day, and the extra tax would be $3 on a $600 new sofa or $150 on a $30,000 car.

The No side’s Jordan Bateman rejects the $125 fi gure and estimates a real household cost of $258 a year.

His estimate – from simply dividing the $250 million to be raised each year by the number of households in the region – assumes every new tax dollar paid by businesses would be down-loaded to their customers through higher prices.

That’s fl awed, because some of the sales tax paid by Metro Vancouver businesses is on prod-ucts exported elsewhere to be bought by custom-ers who don’t live in the region.

Some is charged on business-to-business trans-actions.

A movie production company fi lming in the re-gion, for example, will pay sales tax on what its crews buy, but it doesn’t have direct customers here who it can force to pay more.

Some retailers may even absorb the tax so their customers don’t pay more – car dealers say they may do that to ensure buyers don’t go to Fraser Valley dealers instead.

Businesses pay an estimated 45 per cent of the sales tax collected in Metro Vancouver and visi-tors pay another fi ve per cent, leaving residents picking up the other half of the direct costs of the new tax.

Robin Lindsey, a transportation and logistics professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business, said it’s likely some businesses will pass along the tax hike to residents through higher prices, increasing their indirect cost from the tax.

But he said it’s diffi cult to say which side’s esti-mate is the most accurate.

Another issue is how fairly the sales tax hike treats the rich and poor.

The mayors council estimates the poorest 20

per cent of households would pay less than $50 a year from the increase. That’s because a higher share of low-income household spending goes to necessities such as food, children’s clothes and medicine that are PST exempt.

All of the existing PST exemptions would apply to the Congestion Improvement Tax.

But, the No campaign says the poor would pay a much larger relative share of their income than wealthy households, making it a regressive tax compared to income tax, which low income earn-ers typically do not pay at all.

“It is judged to be mildly regressive,” Lindsey said.

But he said that knock against the tax fails to take into account what the money would fund.

“It will go mainly to public transit, which is dis-proportionately used by lower income individu-als and households,” Lindsey said. “That would be considered progressive.”

Choo Choo’s has been serving up fun and fresh home cooking in the heart of downtown Langley since 1992. Some might even say the popular dining es-tablishment has become a local land-mark over the years - one that attracts tourists and regular patrons from all over the Fraser Valley and beyond.

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

Choo Choo’s is a family restaurant and it’s only fi t-

ting that Choo Choo’s is

run by a

husband and wife team. Terry and Helene Causton took over the busi-ness from Terry’s brother over 23 years ago. Today, their two adult daughters, Megan and Erin, also work alongside them on a part-time basis while purs-ing their studies.

Even after all these years, the couple still get a kick out of watching how excited young children get when they see the train pass them by while they are eating. “It’s always fun to watch - they get very taken with it,” said Terry, who as a young child had a train setup that both he and his brother were en-thralled with while growing up in Eng-land. “I think the whole notion of the trains here at the restaurant came from our childhood and the train we both had. It spanned the whole length of the attic, - so many memories!”

Choo Choo’s may be up high and out of arm’s reach, the Causton’s invite pa-trons of all ages to choose from a bevy of toy trains to play with at their table. “Even the grownups love to play with the trains,” laughed Terry.

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

There’s no doubt about it that the train theme may draw patrons in, but it’s the food that keeps them com-ing back. “We pride ourselves on our menu,” said Terry. “We still make all our own food- soups, sauces, desserts, breads, etc. After 50 years, our fresh burgers and schnitzels are still a hit, and we make them in the building.”

Terry adds that the top-notch cus-tomer service is also at the heart of this

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

As far as location is concerned, Choo Choo’s is stationed in a prime spot. “I just love downtown Langley - espe-cially the one-way,” said Terry. “There’s a real sense of community here that’s lacking in a lot of other places in the Lower Mainland.”

Terry and Helene invite regulars and newcomers to climb aboard Choo Choo’s unique dining experience. It’s something special with a perfect mix of excellent food, amazing customer service, a prime location and lots of fun!

When a person turns 60, we start of think of them as entering their ‘senior years.’ But in the history rich Fraser Valley, when a City turns 60 it can still be considered to be a bit of a youngster.

In 2015, Langley City will mark 60 years since it broke away from the Township of Langley and became its own governing body.

Today, many newcomers to the area are not aware that there are two Langleys. Often, people will say, “I don’t live in Langley, I live in Murray-ville or Fort Langley or Aldergrove.

Over the years the lines have blurred and new areas with new names have sprung up with their own schools and churches and have assumed their own identities. This was much the case back in 1955 when the residents and merchants of Langley Prairie grew restless.

In 1873, the Township of Langley was incorporated and the hub of government and commerce was sit-uated around the area we now know as Fort Langley. As more settlers ar-

rived, the area grew and when the BC Electric Railway came through the valley in 1910, business sprung up around the station at Innes Cor-ners, which is now the corner of Fra-ser Highway and Glover Road now.

The area soon took over as the hub of area commerce and became known as Langley Prairie. With this growth came discontent. Even though Langley Prairie occupied only a small portion of the Township, less than 2% of the taxpayers in the four square mile area were paying an es-timated 20 % of the Township’s tax-es.

Those that wanted to separate of-

ten demonstrated that the taxes they paid in Langley Prairie went to build roads and provide services in other parts of the community, ig-noring the merchants’ pleas for up-grades to streets, sidewalks, water, sewer and streetlights.

In the years prior to incorporation, many meetings were held to dis-cuss the issues with merchants, and residents petitioned the Minister of Municipal Affairs, raising funds and bringing in speakers from other communities up the valley who had been successful with their incorpo-ration bids.

At one such presentation in the

early 1950’s, folklore tells us that the reeve of the day listened to the com-mittee and then banged his gavel, shouting, “There will not be one fi ve cent piece for street lights in Lang-ley Prairie!” This slap in the face only encouraged the Incorporation Com-mittee to try harder.

The Board of Trade solicited the support of the farmers and residents and soon the Incorporation Com-mittee had publicized the issue, pre-pared pamphlets and petitions and eventually the local MLA convinced the government to allow incorpora-tion to proceed.

After much debate, on January

In 2015, Langley City will mark 60

years since it broke away from the

Township of Langley and became its own

governing body.

Celebrating 20 Years in Practice


20th, 1955, the province agreed to in-corporation and on March 15th, 1955 the City of Langley was born.

Carving a four square mile area out of the Township, creating their own services and electing their own gov-ernment were no small tasks. Today when someone questions why the boundary lines between the City and Township look like a dog’s hind leg, there are various reasons put for-ward.

Certainly there were geograph-ic factors such as rivers or streams and some farms and property lines had to be negotiated and respected. Even today, the line runs through the Willowbrook shopping centre neces-sitating some businesses to have City Business Licences and others to have Township licences.

Another theory put forth is that when the time came to mark the boundary, a paint brush was dipped into a can of yellow paint, tied to a local farmer’s cow’s tail and wherev-er it wandered, the line was marked. Sometimes, looking at a map, this could almost make sense.

It was never easy working for ei-ther municipality when discussing services with residents. Reception-ists at city and municipal halls and fi re stations had to make their fi rst

question, “Do you live in the City or the Township?” Often people didn’t know and would have to give their address before their community of residence could be determined.

On one morning at the front desk in City Hall, a frustrated reception-ist said, “Excuse me ma’am. Look out your window, do you see a cow or a traffi c light?”

Some suggest it would have been easier for the City to take a new name when it separated but depend-ing on who you talk to, the reasons vary. Some say Langley was kept to spite the Township council. Others say it was economic so merchants wouldn’t have to change signs or in-voices and letterhead.

Over the years the two commu-nities have at times had a strained relationship but for the most part, in recent years, we have seen a new spirit of cooperation and the two have participated in many success-ful joint activities or projects.

Why not go back to one commu-nity? The word amalgamation usu-ally surfaces around election time, but the idea never gains much trac-tion in the City, which has been very successful in developing their infra-structure and have a strong plan for the future. Many City residents fear

“Whether you have income or not, it’s vitally important to fi le your income tax return,” advises Arlene Brown, a Senior’s Councillor at the Langley Se-niors Resource Centre. This is because the government uses the previous year’s income tax returns to renew GIS (Guaranteed Income Supplements) payments.

The Federal Government has linked GIS payments to the Canadian Rev-enue Agency (CRA) and uses income tax returns as the way to determine the GIS amount payable. Provincial-ly Fair Pharmacare benefi ts are based on a person’s level of income and ap-plications are assessed using previous year’s tax returns as well.

The cut off date for having an income tax return fi led is April 30th. To avoid an interruption in your GIS pay-ments or Fair Pharmacare eligibility it is essential to have this done on time.

It is important to keep in mind that people are not taxed on the amount of money they have or what their property is worth. If a person does have a large amount of savings their interest income is taxable but not the principle amount of savings.

The Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope offers free tax preparation for low income individuals and seniors. They provide this service year round by appointment. Call Andrea Voss at 604-514-7375 for an appointment of for more information.

The Langley Seniors Resource Centre are also hosting

tax clinics from now until the tax dead-line. Volunteers trained under the Com-munity Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) are on hand Monday through Friday to help seniors fi le their income tax. This service is free but is by ap-pointment only and both spouses will need an appointment. Volunteers will fi le your income tax return either by E File or using a paper return.

If you, or someone you know cannot make it to the Centre, a volunteer will come to their home or other arrange-ments can be made. The senior may drop their tax documents at the Centre and a volunteer will complete your tax return. Once completed they will pro-cure a signature and fi le the return. Call the LSRC at 604-530-3020 for more in-

formation or to make an appointment.This time of year large tax preparation companies ad-

vertise they will process a tax return immediately and issue a refund cheque on the spot. But bear in mind this comes with a cost. They will retain a portion of the re-fund in exchange for doing the taxes for ‘free’. Using the CVITP Program at the Langley Seniors Resource Centre or The Salvation Army is a better option because this will ensure that a person will receive their entire refund even if it isn’t received right away.

To qualify under the CVITP Program a person must have an income of under $30,000. per individual or $40,000. per couple. An individual with a child is eligible as well if their income is under $35,000.

that amalgamation will once again see their tax dollars spread over the rest of the community rather than at home.

Proponents of amalgamation pre-dict lower taxes and better services, less red tape. While many studies exist, none show that taxes were ever reduced and a large majority of communities that have consolidated have stated they wouldn’t do it again if they had the choice, citing that the newly created larger communi-ty provided less customer service to the residents and became bureau-cratically top heavy. Much the same argument came from the Langley Prairie Incorporation Committee in the early 1950s.

The City of Langley had a signif-icant birthday party to mark their 50th ten years ago. City offi cials have some recognition plans in the works for this year however, what and when is not decided yet.

Congratulations, City of Langley, you’re lookin’ pretty good for sixty!

When Marie opened her door, she was surprised to see a young Asian woman holding a little child. In broken English, the woman explained that her apartment had no power and she couldn’t heat up the baby’s bottle. Marie immediately invited her in and they put the bottle on to heat. While the baby bottle was warming up, Marie put on water for a cup of tea and the two women sat down and tried to communicate with each other. Xiao May, missed her mother and grandmother in China so a visit with the older woman was comforting to her.

Neighbourhoods in Canada are changing. In the past, most neighbours came from the same background and shared the same language and cul-ture. With immigration to Canada being at an all time high, our neighbour-hoods are transforming and Canada is more of a mosaic with a multitude of different languages, cultures and faiths. The same is true in Langley. In the past few years there has been a great infl ux of various ethnic groups. Some are refugees and others are individuals who have seen Canada as a land of opportunity and have chosen it to be the country where they want to live. Some of Langley’s seniors are making connections with their neighbours, many of whom are newcomers to Canada. Marie regularly visits with her neighbour Xiao May to share coffee, tea and stories.

This friendship is not surprising to Colleen Frick, a teacher and communi-ty events coordinator at New Directions ESL School in Langley. Many of the students who attend the school come from backgrounds where racism does not exist so they don’t anticipate being treated poorly. This gives them the confi dence to put themselves forward and they want to talk to their neigh-bours. Many of the students as their English skills improve volunteer in local churches and in the community. Ellie Hu, a former student volunteered with the Downtown Langley Ambassador Program to improve her English skills. Many of her fellow volunteers were seniors and Ellie not only improved her language skills, she made new friends as well. “We need English speaking friends and it can be diffi cult,” she said. “But the best way to do this is to vol-unteer,” she added. In addition Ellie suggested that another way to improve English skills is by joining a Toastmasters group.

The school delivers Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) from Pre Lit to LINC level 8. There are 16 class-es and the school currently serves upwards of 300 clients daily at two dif-ferent locations in morning, afternoon and evening classes.

Neighbourhoods in Langley are changing and with that comes an opportu-nity to make new friends and learn about different cultures.

Singer Jet Tangerine performs during last spring’s Langley Has Talent competition. The contest returns March 28 and April 18 for its fi fth and fi nal season. The dual purpose of the annual competition, hosted by Langley’s four Rotary Clubs, has been to highlight previously undiscovered talent from the community and to underscore the need for a dedicated performing arts facility in the Langleys.


BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

With the selection of the semifi nalists now complete, the stage is set for the fi fth and fi nal Langley Has Talent competition.

Twenty three acts will take the stage at Christian Life Assembly on Saturday, March 28.

From those, the top acts, selected by a panel of ce-lebrity and industry judges,

will go through to perform in the fi nals at CLA on Sat-urday, April 18.

Among the acts audienc-es will be able to check out at this year’s competition, are musicians in a range of genres, singers, dancers and Cirque du Soleil-style per-formances.

Some are brand new to the competition while oth-ers have graced the stage at CLA in years past.

Anyone who has enjoyed the performances at previ-ous LHT competitions, as well as those who have al-ways planned to attend and not yet done so, are urged to make this the year they come out.

“This is the last year Ro-tary will put on Langley Has Talent,” said the competi-tion’s founder, Peter Luongo.

“I hope the community will really get behind it and

demonstrate support for the talent in Langley and the need for a (dedicated performing arts) venue.

“I’m excited to have the chance to bring this to a close this year,” said Luon-go.

Tickets for the March 28 show are $20 each, and are now available at lang-leyhastalent.com or at the Langley Times offi ce, 20258 Fraser Hwy.

Langley Community Music School has award-ed $12,000 in scholarships to 92 young musicians through its 29th Annual Scholarship Awards Festival.

The festival ran from Feb. 1 to 9, and the winners were announced at the fi nal awards concert held Sat-urday, Feb. 21. A total of 150 students, aged fi ve to 17, took part in the festival, performing in an array of categories, including piano, violin, cello, jazz, wood-winds, guitar and voice.

“We congratulate all winners in this music festival. Every single one demonstrated an exceptionally high standard of performance,” said Susan Magnusson, LCMS principal.

Among the winners in the senior categories were Langley residents Sarah Yang, Min Whoo Lee, and Yu An Cheng.

Yang won multiple awards: the Iris Preston Memo-rial Award in the senior violin category; the Carolyn Twiest Award in the intermediate piano category; the Iris Severide Memorial Award; and the Schipperus Me-morial Award for best string performance of an unac-companied Bach piece.

Langley clarinet player, Lee, was the winner in the senior woodwinds category. And senior Langley cel-list, Cheng, was the winner of the senior cello catego-ry, and also received the Colin Hampton Musicianship Award.

This year’s adjudicators included prominent local and international musicians: Fred Stride, Vancou-ver-based Jazz musician; Brenda Fedoruk, principal fl utist at the Vancouver Opera Orchestra; internation-al performing artists Catherine Ordronneau, pianist, and Kai Gleusteen, violinist; and Cristian Markos, cel-list and member of the Vancouver Symphony Orches-tra.

Funds for LCMS’ scholarship and bursary program are made possible through an endowment fund that was established in 1983 with the Vancouver Founda-tion, combined with the support of individual donors, corporate supporters, and anonymous benefactors.

“We extend our deepest thanks to the many indi-viduals and businesses whose support and generosity makes our annual festival possible,” said Magnusson.

“These contributions give students the fi nancial support they need to augment their educational op-portunities and achieve excellence.”

A Langley resident is among the nomi-nees as YWCA Metro Vancouver prepares to name the recipients of its 32nd annual Women of Distinction Awards.

Cheryl Young, founder, executive direc-tor and treasurer of the Fibromyalgia Well Spring Foundation, is nominated in the Community Champion category.

Young is a champion for the rights of all people who, like herself, suffer with fi bro-myalgia, and those affl icted by other invis-ible illnesses.

In 2006, Young founded the Fibromyalgia

Well Spring Foundation. What began as a personal mission has

blossomed into a vibrant organization serving 750 members.

Young envisions a community wellness village to support and house people liv-ing with fi bromyalgia, and is set to raise awareness and support through a 1,050 km walk from Langley to Banff in 2016.

Each year, the Women of Distinction Awards “honour individuals and organiza-tions whose activities and achievements contribute to the well-being and future of

our community.” The 2015 recipients will be announced

on May 26 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Awards will be presented in the following categories:

• Arts, Culture and Design• Business and the Professions• Community Champion• Environmental Sustainability• Health and Wellness• Non Profi t and Public Work• Outstanding Workplace

• Technology, Science and Research• YouthIn addition to the nomination categories,

individual nominees are eligible for the Connecting the Community Award.

Each nominee will select a YWCA pro-gram area in which they are interested and use social media channels such as Twit-ter and Facebook to garner support. From April 22 to May 15, members of the public are invited to cast their votes.

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

“I’m an artist.”The three simple words that

David Tribe uses to introduce himself say it all.

Since he fi rst picked up a brush nearly 20 years ago, Tribe, 76, has made it a point to paint nearly every day.

Over the years, he’s exper-imented with artistic medi-ums — including sculpture and mosaic — and a range of tools, paiting with different sized brushes, a palette knife and even a plastic bag.

Tribe was among the fi rst group of participants to take part in Langley Association for Community Living’s Bridge art program.

Later this month, he will achieve another major mile-stone as he mounts his fi rst solo exhibit at Loft Studios Gal-lery in downtown Langley.

As the opening date of Tribe’s show approaches, space inside the Bridge art studio at LACL’s clubhouse is fi lling up with the paintings that will make up his show.

Some of the smaller pieces rest on tables, while larger can-vases have been leaned against every bit of available wall space in the corner where Tribe’s ea-sel is set up.

He comes by most days to work on his art, but he’s been known to put brush to canvas at home, too.

The Bridge art program is just one of several programs offered by LACL, which supports chil-dren and youth with special needs, as well as adults like Tribe, who have developmental disabilities.

In addition to painting, Tribe also draws and sculpts, but it is working with acrylic and oil paints he enjoys best.

Painting is the perfect way for Tribe, who is a man of few words, to express himself non-verbally, said Stella Johnson, a program assistant at LACL.

It’s quite easy to discern Tribe’s mood or feelings on a given day based on the colours he chooses, agreed program su-pervisor Jen Walton.

Often using bold colours, Tribe creates abstract and impres-sionistic images — reproducing nature as he feels it, rather than as he sees it.

Florals are among his favour-ite subjects, but he also recently

completed a piece titled Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which fea-tures a fl ying car like the one in the 1968 movie of the same name.

A fairly prolifi c painter, Tribe has a following of collectors who snap up his work quickly, said Johnson.

“If he paints 10 in a year, he’ll sell 10.”

He’s previously shown his work alongside other LACL art-ists, with displays at the City’s annual Arts Alive celebration, Community Living Days, Pos-Abilities Inclusion show in Vancouver and at the Langley Farmer’s Market.

In fact, it was through Arts Alive that the opportunity for the solo exhibit arose.

“I saw David’s work at Arts Alive last year and I was blown away by his lovely, expressive (pieces),” said Wendy Jones, owner of the Loft Studios Gal-lery in downtown Langley City.

She was so impressed by Tribe’s work, in fact, that she in-vited him to display his work at her gallery.

“He paints what he feels with no preconceived ideas,” said Jones.

“It’s honest, expressive and it’s refreshing to see.”

Tribe’s exhibit will run from March 18 to 28 at the Loft Stu-dios Gallery, 20458 Fraser Hwy.

An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, March 18, from noon to 2 p.m., with the artist in attendance.

Artist David Tribe shows off some of his work inside the clubhouse at the Langley Association for Community Living. Tribe, who began painting nearly 20 years ago, has been given his fi rst solo show. His work will be displayed at the Loft Studios Gallery on Fraser Highway from March 18 to 28.

It will cover three afternoons at the Murrayville Library.

On the fi rst afternoon they will write a short play, on the second afternoon they will make the puppets for it, and on the third they will put on their puppet shows using a traditional puppet theatre stage.

Puppet Theatre Fun will run Thursday, March 26, Friday, March 27 and Saturday, March 28 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

One hundred and twenty-eight games, more than 700 play-ers and thousands of fans.

Those are the final numbers as March Madness came to a close on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

The facility host-ed four senior boys provincial basketball championships — 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A — over the course of four days last week.

And when all was said and done, the Kelowna Christian Knights, St. Michael’s University Blue Jags, Fleetwood Park Drag-ons and Yale Lions had been crowned champions in their respective divisions.

Altogether, 64 se-nior boys basketball teams played a total of 128 games.

This latest round of championships also wrapped up a busy three-week stretch at the LEC as the facili-ty hosted the junior boys provincial cham-pionships (32 teams, 80 games) at the end of February and then the junior girls, 2A senior girls and 3A senior girls provin-cial tournaments (48 teams, 96 games) in early March.

“There was a real buzz in the air among the spectators and the players,” said Paul Eberhardt, the presi-dent of the B.C. High School Boys Basket-ball Association.

“We were extreme-ly pleased with it. For

a very long time, we have had a goal of trying to have all our championships in one place and at the same time.

“And for the first time, we couldn’t have been happier with how it went.”

He expects the tour-naments to return to the LEC once the dates are finalized.

“It is definitely in our wishes and our plans to be there for a while,” Eberhardt said.

Eberhardt said that the spectators en-joyed being able to go from court to court — four courts were in action all at the same time — if one game wasn’t holding their attention.

“If a game wasn’t that good, they could

just go to another court,” he said.

“And the crowds were certainly indica-tive. This was the larg-est crowds we have ever had in the four years at the Langley Events Centre.”

“It was a really good three weeks,” said Jar-ed Harman, the direc-tor of business devel-opment for the LEC.

“From an atten-dance standpoint, numbers were up from last year.”

The 4A senior boys championship final between Abbotsford’s Yale Lions and Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens, drew 4,876 fans in a thrilling contest in which the Lions prevailed 69-63.

Harman said final numbers are expected later this week.

“Hosting the girls the week before really allowed both genders to have the spotlight, make it special for all competitors,” Harman said.

“All the different tiers were able to come together and

support the sport.”There were three lo-

cal teams competing this past weekend, with the Credo Chris-tian Kodiaks deliver-ing a best-ever finish for the school at the 1A tournament. The Kodiaks just missed

the podium placing fourth.

The Langley Chris-tian Kodiaks placed eighth in the 2A tour-nament while the Walnut Grove Gators were ninth in the 4A division.

Credo Christian Kodiaks’ Elias Dewit goes airborne against the defence of the Ucluelet Warriors during opening round play at the 1A senior boys provincial basketball championships last week. The Kodiaks fi nished fourth in the 16-team tournament, the school’s best-ever fi nish.

It was a packed house at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night as 4,876 fans took in the B.C. 4A provincial basketball fi nal. Abbotsford’s Yale Lions defeated Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens 69-63.

Program-best fourth place

finish for CredoGARY AHUJATimes Sports

They didn’t fi nd the podium, but the Credo Christian Kodiaks did make school history.

The Kodiaks lost 70-54 to the Rich-mond Christian Eagles on Saturday morning in the bronze medal match at the B.C. 1A senior boys provincial basketball championships at the Langley Events Centre.

But while the team did not leave with medals draped around their necks, the fourth-place fi nish marked the best-ever showing for the Kodiaks at the tournament.

The program’s previous best was a fi fth-place fi nish back in 1993.

The Kodiaks trailed just 36-33 at the half but fell behind by double digits in the third quarter and could not recover.

“Turnovers were key,” said Credo coach Justin Vanderploeg.

“The main thing was we didn’t come out with the same defensive intensity that we did all year long, that we normally come out with.

“And then they hit a couple of big threes and ballooned the lead a little bit and we were fi ghting from there.”

Credo Christian was seeded third for the 16-team tournament and won a pair of close contests in the opening two rounds.

The Kodiaks won 63-57 over the No. 14 Ucluelet Warriors and then

won 47-44 over the No. 6 West Point Grey Academy Wolves in the quar-ter-fi nals.

But the team fell 67-44 to the Im-maculata Mustangs in the semi-fi nals before dropping a second straight game to the Eagles the next morning.

“Immaculata is a very good team, they shoot the ball so well,” Vander-ploeg said.

“In the fi rst half, we were able to keep their shooters under control. And in the second half, they loos-ened up a little bit and hit a couple of big threes — just like in this game — and were able to get the big lead.”

While a medal would have been great way to cap off the season, they team came up short, but not be-cause of their effort.

“Our team put our hearts on the fl oor,” said Braden Schouten, one of the team’s captains.

“We played hard and put it all on the court.

“Our heads are up high.”Being in the mix for a provincial

medal did not surprise Vanderploeg.“We were capable of being in the

top four, we were capable of making the fi nals,” the coach said.

“That was our goal all year long, make provincials and then go for that top four fi nish.”

Credo Christian’s Cam Pol was named a second team all-star.

In the earlier tournaments, the B r o o k s w o o d Bobcats won the 3A senior girls title while Wal-nut Grove won bronze in junior boys action. And the ’Cats junior girls placed 15th.

Brookswood’s win in the 3A fi -nal drew more than 2,000 fans to the game, which is believed to be the largest crowd to ever watch a high school girls’ basketball game in the prov-ince.

The tournaments ran relatively smoothly.

“Whenever you are running an event of any kind, there are always little elements, but nothing crazy,” Harman said.

“You learn new things when you put all the different events togeth-er.”

Eberhardt said there were a few minor glitch-

es — things which were out of their control — and they will now poll the coaches and offi cials to see what can be improved on moving forward.

After an opening round loss, the Walnut Grove Gators offence got into a groove, scoring 90-plus points in three straight victories.

The Gators, seeded 11th for the 16-team B.C. 4A provincial senior boys high school basketball championships, placed ninth overall.

The tournament was held March 11 to 14 at the Langley Events Centre.

Walnut Grove lost their opening round game, 83-76 to the No. 6 Burnaby South Rebels.

But after that, it was all victories to get the high-est possible ranking they could among teams that lost in the round of 16.

Walnut Grove beat the Prince George Polars 97-54, downed the Cowichan Thunderbirds 91-79 and closed things out with a 90-68 win over the Heritage Woods Kodiaks.

That game was a rematch of the fi fth/sixth place game at the Fraser Valley championships last month, which was also won by Walnut Grove.

Tyler Anderson had a strong fi nal showing over the four games, earning provincial second team all-star honours for the Gators.

After pulling off an opening round upset, the Langley Chris-tian Lightning were grounded the rest of the tournament.

The Lightning went 1-3 to finish in eighth spot at the B.C. 2A se-nior boys provincial basketball champion-ships at the Langley Events Centre.

Langley Christian, seeded 14th for the 16-team tournament, shocked the No. 3 Golden Eagles 90-73 in the opening round.

But the Lightning lost 81-66 to the Delview Raiders in the quarter-finals and then lost 90-65 to the Clarence Ful-ton Maroons and the Valleyview Vikings to finish the tourna-ment in eighth place.

With a second kick at the can, the Langley Eagles are ready for fl ight.

The juvenile A hockey club will once again compete for the top prize after qualifying for the upcoming provincial champion-ships.

The tournament begins March 19 in Chil-

liwack and runs through March 22.“We got to provincials last year, but we

kind of ran out of steam,” admitted coach Larry Spady.

The team went 2-3 last year and with a large chunk of returning players, the Eagles knew they would have a good shot at going again.

“Absolutely this was the goal,” Spady said.

“I knew we would have a good team.”Langley was 13-4-1 to fi nish second in the

league and then won the Pacifi c Coast Ama-teur Hockey Association Gold Group playoff banner.

Overall, the Eagles sport a record of 26-5-3 and were a high-scoring team throughout the season.

And the team plays an attacking style, not

afraid to trade chances with their opponent.“We are run and gun, pedal to the medal,”

Spady said.“Everyone is going pretty hard.“We are not afraid to take chances.”The team is made up of 18, 19 and 20-year-

olds, and Spady has coached some of these kids since they began playing minor hockey for Langley.

April 25, 1938 ~ March 8, 2015

George leaves behind his wife Marna, daughters Julie and Jennifer (Maury), grandchildrenTaylor and Mitchell, niece Kelly,sister-in-law Inga, nieces Jackie(Kyle) and Joanne, mother-in-law Marie and “the dog” Mollie.

After attending UBC and SFU (MA, Ed), he taught for 35 years before retiring in 1996, moving to his “estate” in Mis-sion. There he tended chickensand ducks, felled trees, built bridges & walkways and mowedhis acreage with a cunning eye-no weed shall escape.

George’s fi rst passion was his family, being the best provider he could, a loyal friend and a believer in treating every living thing with respect. Many a mealor activity was halted as he carefully removed moths or wasps outside, or picked wormsup from the garage fl oor.

A pianist all his life, music and travel played a big part of his retired life, as did informing his family of what he considered important for them to know. Literary picks and newspaper articles were carefully chosen tobe given, discussed and dis-sected - and then hopefully fol-lowed as George prescribed to the “Father Knows Best” era.Our home was fi lled with laughter and love because of his presence and we will miss George with all our hearts.

In lieu of fl owers, please consid-er a gift to a charity or cause of your choice. A memorial servicewill be held Monday, March 23rd at 1 pm, with a reception to follow, at Woodlawn Mission Funeral Home, 7386 Horne Street, Mission.

WILSON, Patrick ShawnBorn in Vancouver March 12th

1960 - March 7th, 2015

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved son Patrick. He was taken from us tragically by a work place accident. Patrick leaves behind to mourn his wifeValerie Karlsson. Parents Peterand Elaine Wilson, brotherMichael Wilson (Joanne), sistersColleen Krasman (Rod), Erin Finnerty (Brent), nephew Ryan Krasman and nieces EmilyKrasman and Samantha Kwan.Uncle Russell Reid (Geri), UncleLee Walbeck (Astrid) and nu-merous cousins in Canada and the U.S.

Patrick lived everyday to its fullest - tackling all that life pre-sented him with great passion, positive energy & fearlessness.Always there to lend a hand to anyone who needed help, he was a very hard worker: volun-teering extensively with Brittaniashipyard, Fraser River clean-up, and the Native Plant Societyof BC among many others.He had a great enthusiasm for music including classic rock, blues & jazz, and alternative. He loved the outdoors, particu-larly hiking & gardening. Patrickand Valerie spent many hours working side by side.

Patrick will most be remem-bered for his commitment to hisfamily. Family was foremost, whether it was moving a siblingor cementing his place as “the favourite child”. Patrick leaves us with a lifetime of happymemories. Let it be said thatPatrick was “all in”.

In lieu of fl owers, donations canbe made to the Fraser Valley Humane Society. No service onrequest. There will be an open house on Saturday March 21 from 2-6pm at 227 Mariwood Drive, Campbell River.
