MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter
The line has been drawn.Fernridge is now considered a
separate area from Brookswood, with a border that starts at 196 Street and traces along 33A Ave-nue, up 200 Street to 36 Avenue, and then up 208 Street to 43 Ave-nue. Anything south of that — or essentially, the undeveloped rural areas — is now distinctly Fern-ridge.
The decision was not made easily by Township council, as councillors debated the issue for over an hour on Monday after-noon. The fi nal vote to endorse the boundaries and have an en-gagement strategy squeaked by with only Councillors Charlie Fox, Blair Whitmarsh, Angie Quaale, Bob Long and Mayor Jack Froese in favour.
The issue for several sitting at the council table was public con-
sultation. Coun. Kim Richter said council
needs “broad-based community input” before they can endorse
anything. “I really feel quite strongly
about us endorsing this set of boundaries for Fernridge when we haven’t consulted with the public,” she said.
“Public engagement was a pri-ority for this council last year, it’s a priority for us this year, we should be putting our money where our mouth is. And if we really believe in public engage-ment, then this is — by gosh and by golly — the number one poster child for getting public engagement.”
Richter made a motion to con-sult with the public before council moves forward on a boundary de-cision, which was subsequently
defeated. Only councillors Petrina Arnason, Michelle Sparrow and David Davis were in agreement.
“We get public input on devel-opment permits — which is form, sighting and character — yet we’re going to make a hardline decision on a new community, and we’re saying we don’t need public input on it?” Sparrow said. “It’s boggling to me that we would even be dealing with this without ... (a) public input session.”
Sparrow asked why council is endorsing the public engagement strategy for the Fernridge Com-munity Plan, when they have yet to approve the Township-wide engagement strategy.
“I think we’re putting the horse before the cart in several aspects to this, but most importantly I think that this is a major decision that we are making that needs to have public input, and I can’t see how we can move forward with-out that,” she said.
Coun. Arnason asked if there are legal implications to recon-fi guring boundaries within an ex-isting Offi cial Community Plan, to which CAO Mark Bakken replied, no.
On the other side, several mem-bers of council felt the name de-bate was irrelevant.
“This issue of title and name of the area I think is a red herring and it’s throwing us all off,” said Coun. Blair Whitmarsh.
“We’re getting into debates and arguments about where a bound-ary might lie, when really we should begin to sit and talk about how do we want our community to look in that undeveloped space and move forward.”
Whitmarsh noted that the area already calls for an additional 20,000 to 25,000 people to move in under the existing 1987 plan. These people cannot be accom-modated in the developed Brook-swood area, he said.
“This is an opportunity for us now to take a 1987 plan, and to provide new planning principles to update it to consider environ-mental concerns (and) to consid-er traffi c fl ow differently than we might have in 1987,” he said.
“Why not allow us to have input into a new plan, a new vision for this area?
“We know the undeveloped area

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter
Two men have been charged in connection with the brazen February 2009 daylight shoot-ing in a busy Walnut Grove mall which killed 26-year-old Kevin LeClair of Abbotsford and the May 2008, shooting death of 23-year-old Jonathan Alex Bar-ber of Langley who was killed while driving a Porsche Cay-enne in Burnaby.
Murder charges have been laid against 32-year-old Troy Tran of Vancouver and another 31-year-old man, whose name is being withheld.
The announcement was made at a Monday press con-ference by Supt. Dwayne Mc-Donald, offi cer in charge of the Integrated Homicide Investiga-tion Team (IHIT).
McDonald said both men are believed to be part of the Unit-ed Nations gang, which was in-volved in a violent turf war be-
tween 2007 and 2009 with the rival Red Scorpion gang run by the Bacon brothers, Jonathon, Jarrod and Jamie.
The arrests were the result of a joint forces project involving dozens of offi cers from IHIT, the anti-gang Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CF-SEU-BC), RCMP Lower Mainland District, Calgary Police Service, Vancouver Police Department, and E-Division RCMP Support Services.
Police executed 13 search warrants at locations through-out the Lower Mainland and Calgary this past weekend, an IHIT statement said.
A third man, alleged UN Gang member David Murphy of Sur-rey, was arrested and charged with possession for the pur-poses of traffi cking, possession of stolen property and posses-sion of a prohibited fi rearm.
“These homicides create an effect on our communities that
is lasting, that does not dimin-ish with time” McDonald said.
Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett of CFSEU-BC said the fi ght against gang violence continues.
“It is important for both the public and those who wish to spread violence through gang activity, to know that we along with all our law enforcement partners are united and are committed in our fi ght against gang violence,” Hackett said.
LeClair, an Abbotsford resi-dent, died in hospital two days after he was shot several times at close range while driving his pickup truck.
He was chased into the busy Walnut Grove Thunderbird Vil-lage mall parking lot by two ve-hicles, one a van and the other a car.
As many as 40 shots were heard.
One witness told The Times
Two charged in Langley murder investigationsDeaths of Kevin LeClair and Jonathan Barber were the result of violent gang turf war that still continues today
Alleged Red Scorpion gang member Kevin LeClair was gunned down in broad daylight at the Thunderbird Village in Langley in 2009. Now two men have been charged with his murder along with a rival gang leader who is still at large.

Man’s body found in Langley hotel room
IHIT set up an evidence tent behind the Langley City hotel where a suspicious death occurred. A man’s body was found in one of the rooms on Friday.

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter
Members of the Integrat-ed Homicide Investigation Team remain at the Lang-ley hotel at Baselines Pub where a man was found dead inside one of the rooms on Friday (Jan. 22).
IHIT was called in after Langley RCMP determined the death was suspicious. The parking lot at Fraser Highway and 203 Street was still cordoned off as of Tuesday morning, and an IHIT tent is set up in be-hind the building.
IHIT is saying little about what took place or who the victim is.
There have been no ar-rests at this time. No mo-tive for this death has been discussed or how the man died. The BC Coroner’s Ser-vice is assisting to help de-termine what led up to the man’s death.
The victim won’t be named until notifi cation of next of kin is complete, said IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Stephanie Ashton. This is the second murder to take place in and around Base-lines Pub.
It was June 2015, when well-known homeless man Wells Tony Gallagher, 37, (known as Miles) was stabbed to death outside
Baselines Pub.David Christopher Van
Den Brink, also a home-less man, was arrested and charged with second de-gree murder.
Van Den Brink remains behind bars and his pre-liminary hearing takes place in April.
Anyone with tips about the suspicious death on Jan. 22 can call the IHIT information line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or email [email protected].
If you wish to remain anonymous, provide your information online at solvecrime.ca or phone 1-800-222-8477.

is going to be devel-oped. That is the plan. And if we do nothing, it is still going to be developed, it’s just go-ing to be developed on 30-year-old thinking rather than present day thinking.”
Coun. Fox motioned for an amendment to change the wording of
the report from “com-pletion of a Fernridge Community Plan”, to “completion of the un-developed area of the Brookswood/Fernridge Offi cial Community Plan.”
“I think we all need to move ahead,” Fox said.
“I think clarity here is pretty evident in
what my amendment is. And there’s a clear understanding that the Brookswood/ Fern-ridge Offi cial Commu-nity Plan is the um-brella.”
The amendment passed with Council-lors Arnason, Richter, Sparrow and Davis op-posed. The main mo-tion was carried after-
wards, with the same four against.
The process to com-plete a new and up-dated community plan is expected to take be-tween 12 to 18 months at a cost of $150,000. A large portion of that funding will go to an extensive public con-sultation process, said the Township report.

she watched from her apartment balcony as a dark grey pickup was sprayed with bullets from what appeared to be an automatic weap-on, fi red from another vehicle in the parking lot of the shopping centre at 88 Avenue, east of 200 Street.
The day before the shooting, LeClair was seen giving Jonathan Bacon, the oldest of the Bacon brothers, a ride in his truck in Port Moody.
Another man, Van-couver resident Conor D’Monte, described by police as the leader of the UN gang, has also been charged with the LeClair murder and is still at large.
Barber was killed while driving a Porsche Cayenne in Burnaby.
Barber, a stereo in-staller, was taking the vehicle to have some electronics installed when he was shot by United Nations gang members who were af-ter the Bacons.
Police described Bar-
ber as “a complete in-nocent just doing his job” who had no idea he was working on a vehicle that was linked to the Bacons.
TRACY HOLMESBlack Press
Court appearances continue for a Langley man accused of assaulting a South Surrey se-nior in her home last summer.
Stephen Thomas Morse ap-peared in Surrey Provincial Court by video last week, where the case was adjourned for a further three weeks. He is scheduled to return on Feb. 2.
Morse has been win custody since Sept. 4, charged with ag-gravated sexual assault, forcible confi nement, break-and-enter, robbery, disguise with intent and use of imitation fi rearm in connection with an Aug. 12
incident.In announcing
an arrest in Sep-tember, police described the crime as “repul-sive.”
It happened in the early af-ternoon and prompted police to issue a com-munity warn-ing.
In an attempt to locate the p e r p e t r a t o r , i nve s t i g a t o r s released secu-
rity-camera images of a man wearing a wig and knee pads using the ATM at the Brook-swood RBC the after-noon of Aug. 12, in the 20000-block of 40 Ave-nue.
Morse’s lawyer, Craig Sicotte, told Black Press after the latest court appearance Jan. 12 that the repeated ad-journments are due to a wait for disclosure in the case.
The Feb. 2 appear-ance will again be by video, Sicotte said.

ICBC is vowing to do more to bust auto insurance fraudsters whose scams add an estimated $100 a year to the premiums all other drivers pay.
The public auto in-surer released its top “Hall of Shame” fraud claims for 2015 where B.C. residents tried to scam the system last year.
They include: Dish Dodger — A man claimed his crash inju-ries were so severe he couldn’t help his wife wash the dishes, but investigators later got footage of him lifting a box of heavy fl oor tiles at his work site. He was fi ned $1,500 for fraud.
Double Dipper — A Vancouver wom-an who claimed she couldn’t go back to work because of her crash injuries. An anonymous tip helped investigators confi rm she had worked since the crash, collecting two paycheques – one from her employer and one from ICBC. Her fraud conviction netted her a one-year driving suspension
and $1,750 fi ne.Mom Cover-up — A
Vancouver Island mother claimed her Audi was stolen and crashed and that her sons with access to the car were home. But phone records put one son at the scene of the crash and BC Ferry ter-minal cameras caught the same son buying a ticket. Both were con-victed of giving false statements. The mom was fi ned $2,300, while the son was fi ned $1,150 and got a one-year suspension, plus a 90-day jail term be-cause his licence was already suspended.
Dash Cam Disclo-sure — A camera caught another vehi-cle sideswiping his on dash cam video and excitedly shared the footage with ICBC. His claim was denied be-cause the video also showed he wasn’t actually driving, as he’d claimed. An unli-censed driver was be-hind the wheel.
Electronic Exposure — A Fraser Valley man was busted by his own BMW after he claimed the car was stolen and burnt to a crisp
in a nearby park. The vehicle’s technology proved the man’s key fob had been used at the time of the inci-dent, contrary to what he claimed.
Bus Blues — A bus hit a parked fi re truck while turning in a bus loop. After all passen-gers exited and the driver exchanged in-formation with the fi re truck driver, another man claimed to have been on board the bus and later sought com-pensation. Security camera video showed the man was never on the bus. He was fi ned and jailed one night for fraud.
ICBC conducted 7,500 fraud investigations last year and its special investigations unit has secured 550 fraud con-victions since 2010.
“We’re going to de-vote more resourc-es than we ever have to rooting out fraud,” Transportation Min-ister Todd Stone said, adding there will be new fraud analytic tools. An estimated 10 to 20 per cent of auto insurance claims are at least exaggerated if not fraudulent.

Former Langley Township council-lor Mel Kositsky is running again for councillor, this time in Langley City.
On Jan. 13, Kositsky told The Times he intended to enter the race to re-place the late Dave Hall, who died following a battle with cancer.
“It’s an unfortunate opportunity,” said Kositsky.
Kositsky was a member of Town-ship council for 18 years from 1993 to 2011, when he ran for mayor and came second to Jack Froese.
“I have a passion for local govern-ment,” Kositsky said.
A former newspaper reporter and columnist (and past editor of the Times), Kositsky can recall covering
City council meetings.“There’s one Langley
(Township and City), but two distinct geopolitical communities,” he said.
“I think I have some-thing to contribute to the future of the City.”
Kositsky said the big issues for him are devel-opment of empty store-fronts, homelessness and crime.
“There’s great potential for development in Lang-ley City,” he said.
Kositsky is the only Langley politician ever inducted into the Roll of Honour of the Federation of Canadian Munici-
palities, an honour he received in 2012.
He was elected by his peers in local gov-ernment to serve on the executives of the Union of B.C. Munic-ipalities and the FCM board of directors.
He also received an Honourary Lifetime Membership to the Lower Mainland Local Government Associa-tion for his volunteer work on that exec-utive board and one term as president.
In 2012, he was presented with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee
Medal for his service to community and local governments in Canada and internationally.
He served on the board of direc-tors of Metro Vancouver and was a member of its parks committee for many years.
He continues to serve on the board of the Pacifi c Parklands Foundation and is a past board member of the BC Recreation and Parks Associa-tion.
Kositsky currently does freelance writing for publications geared to seniors. He also sits as a commis-sioner on the BC Housing Manage-ment Commission.

Ridge Meadows RCMP have arrested two 20-year-old Maple Ridge men in connection to the Jan. 17 assault that left a Langley man in hos-pital with a head injury.
“The investigation has resulted in the arrests of two individuals who police believe are respon-sible for the serious assault,” Ridge-Meadows Cpl. Brenda Winpenny. “As reported, a 20 year old Langley man was hospitalized after he was punched and knocked to the ground.”
The victim had reportedly been at Rooster’s Cabaret with friends when they went to the near-by Subway restaurant. There an altercation took place while the victim was trying to call a cab. It’s alleged he walked towards the altercation and that is where he was assaulted.
The victim’s condition has improved but it is unknown if there will be any long lasting injury as a result of the incident, said Winpenny.
The two men were released from jail with a promise to appear in court at a later date.

Insurance cheats are costing us allNo doubt your mom or dad
(or perhaps a teacher, a wise old friend or a kindly stranger) once told you that when you cheat at something, you’re only cheating yourself.
It’s a popular old adage; if only it were true.
Their point, obviously, was that by cheating, you lose out on both the opportunity to learn to do something properly and the satisfaction that comes from a job well done.
Or — if you have a working conscience — you risk subjecting yourself to an unnecessary bout of guilt.
So, sure, you’ve been cheated. But it’s with the word “only” that I take
exception.Last week, ICBC released its top
six fraud fi les of 2015 and revealed that, collectively, cheaters are costing the insurance provider more than $600 million per year. That, they say, translates to about $100 added to every customer’s annual bill.
I don’t know about you, but that’s $100 I’d far rather be spending on something else. Anything else.
For that added cost in 2015, we can
thank the guy who boarded a bus after it had already crashed and claimed an injury. Happily, security cameras caught him in his lie.
And then there was the woman who tried to cover up the fact it was her own son who had stolen her car and not some unknown individual. A combination of eye witnesses, phone records and security cameras led to her downfall.
And let’s not forget the man who claimed he’d been too badly injured in a crash to so much as help with the dishes at home. Investigators collected footage of him lifting box after box of heavy fl oor tiles at his work site.
These are the people whose antics are costing us all.
For a lot of folks, I suppose, it’s a game. “How much can I get away with?”
For others — who no doubt feel like they’re being fl eeced by insurance companies — it’s probably a form of payback.
But the truth is, it isn’t the insurer who ultimately pays. It’s you and me.
Yes, it costs a lot to properly insure a vehicle in B.C. — even with a clean
driving record.I was stunned when I moved back
to the province in the late 1990s, after spending time in Alberta and Saskatchewan (where a few hundred dollars would give you basic coverage for the year) to see my rates skyrocket.
Yes, B.C. has more dangerous winding mountain roads, and denser pockets of population and we all pay for the added risk these conditions create.
Whether that’s fair is another conversation.
So why, then, do I also need to cough up an additional $100, so that, for example, a Vancouver woman who’d claimed she was too injured to work could sneak away to her job and effectively collect two paycheques. She made the list, too.
In 2015, ICBC opened approximately 7,500 fraud investigations. Those who are caught and convicted are fi ned and otherwise punished.
But for every cheater who is nabbed — whether it’s thanks to new-fangled technology or old-fashioned sleuthing — just think of how many likely don’t get busted. They’re out there, “cheating themselves,” left, right and centre.
And the rest of us are left paying the price.
If we’re going to have a discussion about the homelessness problem in the Langleys, it would be helpful if the opinions expressed were based on facts.
So here are some things you ought to know, courtesy of a true-and-false online quiz posted by the stophomelessness.ca website (You can learn more by visiting the site).
1. Most homeless people don’t sleep on the street.
Researchers estimate that up to four out of fi ve homeless use shelters, sleep in their vehicles, or “couch-surf.”
2. Homeless people often sleep during the day in public places, not out of laziness, but because they don’t have a safe place to sleep at night.
3. It is a myth to say all homeless people are addicts or alcoholics. Studies show that less than half suffer from addictions.
4. It’s not just adults. There are homeless chil-dren. The 2011 Metro Vancouver Homeless Count found there were at least 54 kids, accompanied by adults who were homeless.
5. That panhandler who scared you? Not nec-essarily homeless. Some have housing and pan-handle to supplement their income.
6. Homelessness is not just a big city issue. The 2011 homeless count found the largest in-
creases in homelessness occurred in Langley and Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows.
7. Canada is the only G8 country that does not have a national housing plan, which means there is no co-ordinated strategy to get people off the streets.
8. It may be emotionally satisfying to say home-less people should just get a job, but the reality is a little more complicated. People who are home-less face many challenges in getting and keeping employment.
Without an address or phone it is, to say the least, a challenge to apply for work and receive calls from possible employers.
Many employers require certain equipment or clothing, like work boots and hard hats. Things that working people need to do, like take a show-er, wear clean clothes and pay for transportation are also diffi cult for the homeless.
The questionnaire asserts three things need to happen to end homelessness:
1) an adequate income;2) affordable housing;3) support services for those who need them.

Editor: (Re: Langley Times Ques-tion of the Week) Yes, I think the Township should set aside land to serve as designated camp for those who need it.
The City of Langley has not come up with any solutions to help solve the problem.
Some people are homeless as a direct result of being addicted to gambling at the very casino that the City gets most of its revenue from.
If the City became one govern-ment with the Township we would save a lot of tax payers’ money.
We are in the day of “reduce, re-cycle, and reuse.”
We have two mayors and two municipal buildings and all the administrative costs. If we reduced and only had one government mu-nicipally, who then might become homeless?
We need to help the people who have resided in Langley to be treated with love and respect.
(We should) love our neighbour as ourselves, and they are our neighbours.

LANGLEY
‘Sick and tired’ of theft, panhandling and mess
Editor: (Regarding the Times’ Jan. 20 story about the Township’s cleanup of a homeless camp)
Do I feel sorry for Mr. Halverson? No.
What I feel sorry for are the kids who can no longer use the trails and parks safely by themselves and the seniors who are also afraid to walk the trails, while the homeless take over.
I feel sorry for paying higher tax-es so that Township/City employ-ees can clean up the park space.
I feel sorry that our once pristine park space is being littered by gar-bage, stolen shopping carts, dis-carded needles, sewage, etc.
All those bikes, wagons, and bug-gies being used as crime carts are being missed by their owners.
Mr. Halverson, why is it you have a second bike? I don’t have a sec-
ond bike. I am sick and tired of seeing your
friends panhandle for money at intersections — I am fearful they may get hit by a vehicle.
I am tired of explaining to my kids what it is you are doing hang-ing out in parking lots, local fast food outlets and on street corners,
or riding your bike around the neighbourhood with your head-lamp on at night.
I’m tired of having to say no when your friends ask me for mon-ey, and even more tired of holding my purse tight, as I walk by you, or ensuring our car doors are locked.
And to answer your question re-
garding land? You do have land — it’s called Gateway of Hope. You also have a choice.
We too have a choice, and we have chosen to abide by the rules, and live within walls.
A part of me is sympathetic, but I’m tired of all the hard-working people, families, seniors, and children who are constantly vic-timized and who end up paying for it.
The next time an outreach worker comes calling, maybe you and your friends should take them up on their offer.
S. STEVENS,
BROOKSWOOD
Complicated problem with simple truths
Editor: Regarding your ques-tion of the week about Langley supplying space for people who are currently homeless: Peo-ple smarter than me have yet to come up with any long-term solutions.
It is complicated, but I think there are some simple truths about these people: they deserve a space to sleep at night, they de-serve to maintain their personal privacy and dignity, and if they currently cannot pay for those things, we as a wealthy and priv-ileged society could provide it if we chose to.
And I think we should.One idea I have been thinking
of is about what kind of space would work.
From what I gather, it is not pleasant to sleep in a public set-ting, and your things get stolen when you sleep in a shelter.
Why not build a spot with par-tial walls and a solid roof with the fl oor painted in a grid. Each per-sonal gets a square big enough to erect a tent and park a bicycle.
They are responsible for the cleanliness of their own spot. It would not be too expensive
to maintain and people could pay a small fee to make them feel re-sponsible, such as $3 per night.
I know it can’t be quite this sim-ple but it would be a starting point.
JOANNE OSTER,
LANGLEY
A shelter erected near McLeod Athletic Park uses branches and plastic sheeting to protect its occupant from the rain. On Jan. 12, Township em-ployees cleared out the wooded area where a number of homeless people had been living.
DAN FERGUSON Langley Times
Mixed reaction to homeless camp Yes, Township should set aside land
Editor: While I agree with Mr. Mitchell (The Times, Jan. 22) in his concerns regarding the future of the Fraser Valley traffi c corridors, an in-depth review of a detailed map will show that Highway 1 and 16 Avenue are the only clear routes from Highway 99 the to the Abbotsford bor-der.
These two routes were laid out back in the day when the rail-road was the primary method of east/west travel, and the valley was only farmland.
The fact that trans-portation need of the valley have been ig-nored by our Township is a “too late to the ta-ble” reality.
No one — Town-ship or province, and primarily taxpayers — can bear the outra-geous costs of the land, let alone building a four-lane roadway.
It is apparent the residents along 16 Av-enue must hold the province’s and Town-ship’s feet to the fi re.
Planning ahead of any anticipated action should include an in-dependent property appraisal prior to any discussion regarding expropriation.
I have mine in hand in anticipation of the required roadwork on Highway13.

Time is running out for schools to enter the sixth annual Super Power Your School contest.
Ten schools from coast-to-coast will earn $25,000 in new technology as Staples and Earth Day Canada are looking to reward innovative and eco-friendly schools.
Students, teachers and principals of public-ly-funded schools are encouraged to share every-thing they can about what their schools are doing
to help the environment at www.staples.ca/pow-erco for their chance to win.
Two schools in B.C. and the Yukon will be se-lected.
Previous winners have been selected for build-ing a geodome, maintaining a sustainable green house and planting trees and plants in local parks.
Deadline to apply is midnight Jan. 29.
It was a surreal mo-ment for Loriann San-dy when she discov-ered she’d won a $1 million Maxmillion prize in the Dec. 18 Lotto Max draw.
“I still don’t feel this is real. I am still asking myself if this is real,” admitted Sandy.
Sandy was alone when she checked her ticket, but was able to drive herself home safely before telling her mother about the win.
“She is very excited about my win.
“My mom has al-ready shared the news
with the rest of our family,” she said.
Sandy is passionate about animals and plans to buy a big SUV with her winnings so she can accommodate her cat and two Rott-weilers.
She also plans to pay it forward and donate money to Rottweiler Rescue in Vancouver and the BC SPCA.
“I think this is good karma because I love to help animals and I donate to the BC SPCA monthly,” said Sandy.
The winning ticket was purchased at Ed’s Market in Brookswood.
Canada-wide ‘Super Power Your School’ contest entry closes Friday
Maxmillions winner plans to pay it forward by helping animals
Langley’s luck is holding as another LottoMax win-ner comes forward. Loriann Sandy has won $1 mil-lion in the lottery’s Maxmillions contest.

It was 1992, and the family gathered around the TV to watch Growing Pains and Cheers. The phone was probably attached to the wall and not tethered by a earbud, we went to the video store (remember them?) for weekend entertainment, and Choo Choo’s was serving up fun and fresh home cooking in the heart of downtown Langley.
It takes something special to become a local landmark over the years - one that at-tracts tourists and regular patrons from all over the Fraser Valley and beyond.
From the iconic train that circles inside the perimeter of the dining room, thrill-ing both young and young at heart, and the made-from-scratch consistently good food to the cozy atmosphere, prime loca-tion 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 proud to be a family
Choo Choo’s is run by a husband and wife team. Terry and Helene Causton took over the business from Terry’s brother almost 10 years ago. Today, their two adult daugh-ters, Megan and Erin, also work alongside them on a part-time basis while pursuing their studies.
Even after all these years, the couple still get a kick out of watching how 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 enthralled with while grow-ing up in England.
“I think the whole notion of the trains here at the restaurant came from our childhood and the train we both had. It spanned the whole length of the attic - so many memories!”
While the moving locomotives at Choo Choo’s may be up high and out of arm’s reach, the Causton’s invite patrons of all ages to choose from a bevy of toy trains

to play with at their table. “Even the grownups love to play with the trains,” laughed Terry.
There’s a family dining room with train tables for wee ones to play with - a popu-lar space for families with young children. There’s no doubt about it that the train theme may draw patrons in, but it’s the food that keeps them coming back.
“We pride ourselves on our menu. We still make all our own food- soups, sauc-es, etc. After 23 years, our fresh burgers and schnitzels are still a hit This month we’re having a special on our schnitzels.Now’s the time to try them again! We also have a great selection of craft beers both on tap and in bottles.” Terry said.
Doors open at 9am for breakfast and brunch on Saturdays and Sundays and at 11am Monday through Friday.
Terry adds that the top-notch customer service is also at the heart of this boom-
ing little family hot spot. “A lot of the same people have been coming here for over 20 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 - especially 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 and amazing customer service in a funky environment, where the sky is ALWAYS blue.

Fashion with compassion
MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter
They may look like ordinary dresses, T-shirts and sweaters, but Taylor Byrom’s children’s clothing serves a much greater purpose.
Using simple design altercations, Byrom’s fi rst fashion line — Jolie Hart — is fully functional with feeding tubes, tracheotomy tubes, wheelchairs and sensory processing disorders.
Created for girls ages 2 to 6, the soft fabrics, removable backs and button-up sides make dressing a child with complex medical needs one step easier.
“I wanted to do something that was helpful,” the 24-year-old Langley designer said.
“It wasn’t just clothing. It could actually affect someone and change their life and enhance their life. It wouldn’t just be T-shirts, it would be something that really does change the way someone sees fashion.”
Offi cially launched on Nov. 20, Byrom has worked with BC Children’s Hospital, the Feeding Tube Awareness Foundation, the Centre for Child Development at Surrey Memorial Hospital, Canuck Place and parent advisory groups to tailor her products to what her clients need.
“When I did the research, it actually came back that boys were more needed,” Byrom said.
“But every mom who had a daughter said this to me: ‘my daughter with a feeding tube cannot wear a dress.’
“That was just heartbreaking to me, being such a girly girl.
“Girls need to be able to wear dresses if they chose to do that.”
Originally, Byrom set out to be a designer for women’s wear. It’s a dream she’s had since taking home economic classes in high school, and a career path she was following until her last year of fashion design school at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.
As a class requirement, she had to write a 10-page personal vision statement on who she was and what kind of designer she wanted to be.
“I never thought I would do children’s clothing, I couldn’t understand why you would want to make something that you couldn’t wear,” Byrom said.
“But it amazes me how that paper in fourth year just changed my outlook on life. It made me realize that children’s wear was actually my passion, I had no idea. I didn’t expect it to at all. I put that paper off for months. It changed my whole perspective on design and who I am as a designer and what I need to do.”
Byrom says it was a “serendipitous moment,” as when she was writing the paper, she was also volunteering at miracle weekend for BC Children’s Hospital. That’s when it dawned on her that many of the children would benefi t from specialized clothing.
After months of research, she created Jolie Hart as her fi nal collection at KPU in 2013. The clothing she sells now still use those original designs, with many improvements.
Working out of Kwantlen’s Design lab in Surrey, Byrom creates each item by hand.
“I tried to design each piece to accommodate many needs,” she said.
“I make sure to use as minimal seaming as possible,
while still maintaining design, because that’s a big thing for me.
“I want the clothes to be super cute, and not just plain, medical clothes — I want them stylish. I think a nice thing, especially for girls. They need to look super cute, and as cute as everyone else.”

Langley designer Taylor Byrom has created a line of children’s clothing for little girls with special medical needs. Using special fabrics and designs, the clothing is functional for children with feeding tubes, tracheotomy tubes, wheelchairs, and sensory processing disorders.

Miss Teen BC hits national stage
MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter
After winning the Miss Teen BC title this past summer, Fort Langley’s Shalom Reimer is ready to take the national stage — that is, if she can raise the money to do so.
The 17-year-old Pacifi c Academy student has been invited to the Miss Teen Canada competition in Quebec in March. And unlike previous generations of winners, such as her mother, who once bore the same Miss Teen BC title, Reimer must pay her own way.
Now, she is asking her community for help in raising $2,500 so she may take part in the week-long Miss Teen Canada program.
“That title will really benefi t throughout my entire
university years because it will give me opportunities to speak across Canada and really give me opportunities to help other students.”
So far, as a representative for B.C., Reimer has volunteered at many community events, including the cranberry festival and Variety Telethon.
“I think it’s really important to volunteer and help out your community locally,” she said.
“I have a passion for helping other students and ever since I was young I always volunteered at things or helped out my school a lot.”
Those who would like to support can also vote for Reimer online at: http://www.misscanadatm.ca/297.html.

NEW AGENCY PRESENTING NEW DANCERS!!
16 Wednesday, January 27, 2016 www.langleytimes.com
MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter
For the fi rst time in its theatre program’s history, Trinity Western University has been nominated for the coveted Ovation Awards.
The awards, which recognize excellence in musical theatre from both professional and student shows, will be presented on Jan. 31.
The TWU School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC) production of The Drowsy Chaperone last spring has earned them three nominations for Outstanding Production, Outstanding Direction (Angela Konrad) and Outstanding Set Design (Carolyn Rapanos).
Although this is the fi rst time the school has been eligible for
the awards, director Konrad credits the musical’s “dream team” for making their fi rst entry a standout production.
Specifi cally she names musical director Allan Thorpe, voice coach Caroline Harder, choreographer Joel Ballard, set designer Carolyn Rapanos, cos-tume designer Sabrina Evertt, lighting designer Graham Ock-ley and student stage manager Tiffany Kanda.
“We had a complete dream team to work with,” said Kon-rad, who is also chair of SAMC Theatre at TWU.
“I’m particularly pleased with the outstanding production nomination, and that is a re-fl ection of how many fabulous people worked on the show.”
The Drowsy Chaperone is a 1920s spoof that follows Janet,
a Broadway star, as she tries to leave the spotlight for a storybook romance with her dashing fi ancé.
The script lends itself to an ensemble production, giving the opportunity for many stu-dents to show off their skills, Konrad said.
“It’s not the kind of show where you have two super stars and a bunch of carriers,” she said.
“So there was an opportunity for lots of different students to shine in lots of different ways. The students here do an excel-lent job of working together in a way that builds each other up.”

New Generations, a popular one-week festival featuring new plays and emerging directors, returns to the Trinity Western University stage in the fi rst week of February. This year’s lineup runs the gamut from quirky rom-com to hard-hitting human drama.
Chasing Tina, written and directed by graduating bachelor of fi ne arts students, is an offbeat romantic comedy poking fun at everything from trendy diets to the modern dating scene. It should be love-at-fi rst-smoothie for an idealistic philosophy student and the cynical barista who’s his perfect opposite … and with any luck, the customer is always right.
In The Wooden Pear, by award-winning
playwright Gillian Plowman, a troubled man fresh out of prison comes face-to-face with the victim of his crime. As they struggle to move on from the incident that changed the course of their lives, their emotionally charged encounter becomes a journey to redemption for them both.
The Longest Way Home by Audrey Herold, is an adventurous take on the will-they-won’t-they love story set in the far reaches of Saskatchewan. A group of hot-shot American spies get way more than they bargained for in the Great White North. While they try to ignore the unrequited love issues in the team, a mischievous alliance of Rogue Mounties gives them
a run for their money. This is Canadian culture at its funniest.
The festival runs Feb. 2-6, and all three plays will be performed back-to-back in one fast-paced evening.
Shows are at 7:30
p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 2:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
For tickets and information, visit www.twu.ca/theatre or call 604.513.2121 extension 3872.

Pollution clean-up costs: Who pays?It can be expensive if you find out your property is contaminated. You’ve got to figure out where the pollution came from (not always easy), and you’ll need to clean up your property even if you didn’t cause the problem. But this B.C. Supreme Court case shows you can get other “responsible persons” to help pay the costs.
The plaintiff (“Diane”) found out in 2012 that her residential property was polluted by oil, which in turn drained from her property into a gorge waterway below. She established the oil came from the property immediately up-slope from hers, owned by Mike and Molly.
A subsequent Ministry of Environment investigation revealed that the source of the oil was an old underground oil stor-age tank on Mike and Molly’s property. The tank had rusted through and the surrounding soil was saturated with hydrocarbons. The tank (containing 80 kg of “sludge” and 1900 litres of oily water) and almost 13 tons of contaminated soil were removed.
In 2013, Diane started a lawsuit to recover the costs for cleaning up her property. She sued Mike and Molly and also some previous owners of their prop-erty, the Raymonds and Ada.
Under our law, “responsible persons” include current and previous owners of the property where the pollution comes from. The court in this case decided the pollution did indeed come from the old tank (and not, as Ada argued, a differ-ent oil spill that had recently happened elsewhere).
The court considered how Mike and Molly and the previous owners of their property had acted when they bought
and owned the property, and after the pollution came to light. Our law empha-sizes the principle of “polluter pay” and there aren’t very many ways of escap-ing (or limiting) liability for the costs of cleaning up polluted property.
Here, Ada had owned the polluting prop-erty for 35 years. She’d decommissioned the oil tank in 1981 when changing her house to electric heat. But she couldn’t show that this had been done properly – in fact, it clearly hadn’t, given the state of the tank when it was removed and all the contamination in and around it.
As for the Raymonds, they hadn’t done any environmental investigations before they bought the property. They had turned a blind eye to any pollution on their property (even though told about it). And they never told Mike and Molly anything about such problems when they sold to them.
Diane got judgment for almost $123,000 – roughly $33,000 for the costs she’d already spent plus $90,000 for the estimated future costs to complete the clean-up. Ada and the Raymonds were mostly on the hook for this amount; Mike and Molly only had to pay a small part of Diane’s judgment.
When buying an older home, be sure to get representations from the vendor that there is no buried oil tank. If there is, consider making it a condition of closing that the tank be removed at the vendor’s expense and a “clean” inspection certifi-cate obtained.

The Langley Rivermen are going to the BCHL post-season dance.
The junior A hockey club made sure of it after back-to-back road victories in Prince George last week, defeating the Spruce Kings 5-4 in double overtime on Jan. 21 and then scoring three third-period goals to win 5-2 the next night.
“That is what the regular season is about, preparing for the playoffs and trying to put yourself in a po-sition (to get in), so we are happy to have that out of the way early,” said Langley head coach and general manager Bobby Henderson.
“(But) we still have a lot in front of us.”
Langley also hosted the Co-
quitlam Express on Sunday at the Langley Events Centre, letting a third-period lead slip away before losing the second point with a 6-5 overtime loss.
The results improved Langley to 25-17-1-1 and 52 points.
There are 13 regular season games between now and the end of February remaining in the BCHL schedule, including four head-to-head games against the Wenatchee Wild. The Wild hold down second place in the division with a one-point advantage on the Rivermen.
The fi rst of those four meetings is on Saturday at the LEC at 6 p.m. The Rivermen also host Surrey on Sunday at 3 p.m.
And with the two teams on a col-lision for a fi rst-round playoff series
in early March — the division-lead-ing Chilliwack Chiefs are seven points clear of second place while fourth-place Coquitlam is eight points back of third spot — Hender-son said the team will try to secure home-ice advantage for that fi rst round.
“Home-ice isn’t everything, but it is defi nitely and incentive to play for,” he said. “Our mindset has to be to win every game and win any-where, anytime.”
During the team’s two-game set with Prince George, Torrin White ended the fi rst contest with a dou-ble overtime winner. The game also featured a couple of fi rsts, including Austin Crookshank scoring on his fi rst BCHL shift and Alec Capstick potting his fi rst career BCHL goal.
Max Kaufman and Jason O’Neill had the other Langley goals.
Bo Didur stopped 38 shots in goal for the win while Nick Trenciansky got the call in game two and came through with 28 saves.
The second game saw the teams tied at two heading into the fi nal 20 minutes before Langley closed things out with three straight goals.
The Rivermen were ahead 2-0 late in the second on goals from Will Campion and Matthew Graham but Prince George took advantage of some Langley penalty troubles to score power-play goals 23 seconds apart just before intermission. The fi rst of those goals came with Lang-ley two men down.
But the Rivermen showed their own quick-strike offence as White
and Donovan Shambeau struck for goals 25 seconds apart. Shambeau’s goal was also his fi rst in the BCHL. Matty Saharchuk had the fi nal goal.
Against Coquitlam on Sunday, the Rivermen surrendered four power-play goals, including the overtime winner.
The game should not have gotten to that point as Langley allowed two late goals that tied the score.
“We weren’t happy to be in that situation. We should have ended that game in regulation,” Hender-son said.
Ryan Barrow led the way with two goals while Justin Szeto, Jor-dan Schneider and White had the others. White stretched his point streak to fi ve games and he has fi ve goals and nine points in that span.
Rivermen secure post-season berth
Pat Rohla has stepped down as head coach of the Trinity Western Spartans men’s soccer team, effective March 31.
“My decision to step down at this time is multi-faceted,” he said in a press release.
“I truly believe that this is the right time for the program to have a new voice and direc-tion.”
This past year — his sixth at the helm of the Spartans — the team came up one game short of qualifying for nationals.
Rohla was named the Canada West coach of the year in 2012 and the team won the bronze medal at the CIS national championships in 2009.
“We owe Pat a debt of gratitude for his ded-ication to TWU and Spartan athletics,” said TWU director of athletics Murray Hall.
“We appreciate his commitment to building this program and the leadership he has given over the years.
“I know he is a Spartan for life. His wit and wisdom will be missed.
“There is only one Pat Rohla, and we all wish him the very best.”
Rohla was the founding coach of the TWU women’s soccer team back in 1996 and also served as an assistant coach on the women’s soccer team.
He is also a former teacher, retiring from Langley Secondary in 2012.

Heinen, Puskarich on initial Hobey Baker listDanton Heinen and Mario Pus-
karich are among the B.C. Hockey League alumni in the initial stages of the Hobey Baker Memorial Award voting.
Heinen is from Langley and played in the Langley Minor Hockey Associ-ation before joining the Surrey Eagles.
Puskarich is from Florida but played his junior hockey with the Langley Rivermen.
They are among 11 BCHL alum — out of the 66 on the total ballot from the ranks of the NCAA — who were announced as nominees at this stage by the NCAA last week.
Heinen is a Boston Bruins draft pick currently player for the Denver Pio-neers. The 20-year-old was selected
in the fourth round (116th overall) of the 2014 NHL draft.
The six-foot 165-pound centre is in his sophomore season with the Pio-neers.
Puskarich is in his junior season with the Vermont Catamounts.
Fan voting is currently open — peo-ple can vote once per day for their choice — with the list to be narrowed down to fi rst 10 fi nalists, and then fi -nally the three nominees.
Voting can be done at the Hobey Baker Award Facebook page.
Criteria for choosing the fi nalists is weighted with fan voting accounting for a minority percentage.
The winner will be named during the NCAA Frozen Four April 7 to 9.

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.

GARY AHUJATimes Sports
They should have built off the momentum of a come-from-behind victory over the defending National Lacrosse League champions the week before.
But instead, a dismal fi rst half did in the Vancouver Stealth.
The Stealth trailed 12-3 at the break en route to a 14-5 loss to the visiting Colorado Mammoth on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.
The Mammoth remain the league’s lone unbeaten team at 4-0 while Vancouver fell to 1-2.
“It is frustrating because it is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” said Vancouver captain Cur-tis Hodgson. “Two disap-pointing losses at home, fl at out embarrassing losses.”
In two games at the LEC, the Stealth have been out-scored 31-12. The team had a huge 13-11 road victory over the Saskatchewan Rush in between the two defeats.
“There is no secret that Colorado is a great team, fi r-ing on all cylinders and put-ting a lot of goals in, but in all three facets (offence, de-fence and special teams), we have to be better,” Hodgson said.
“Lacrosse is a game of mo-mentum and runs and we certainly did not do enough
to stop their runs.“And we put ourselves in
too big of a hole to get back into the game.”
Colorado led 3-0 after one quarter and broke the game wide-open in the second quarter with eight goals.
Both Stealth goalies saw ac-tion with Eric Penney allow-
ing eight goals on 33 shots and Chris Levis stopping 10 of 16 shots. Combined this season, the goaltenders have a save percentage of .722. The league average is .773.
And while the goaltending needed to be better, coach Dan Perreault wasn’t ready to pin the loss entirely on
that position.“Sometimes you need a
timely save, but regardless …. (Colorado) had wide-open looks,” he said.
“You are certainly not go-ing to blame your goalten-ding when there is a guy wide open and nobody even checking him.”
Joel McCready led the Stealth offence with two goals while Logan Schuss had a goal and three helpers. Corey Small and Travis Corn-wall had the others.
The Mammoth were led by John Grant Jr. (fi ve goals, two assists) and Callum Craw-ford (four goals, two assists).
Dillon Ward made 50 saves for Colorado, including 33 in the second half.
The Stealth had a 14-10 ad-vantage in face-offs and also collected 61 loose balls com-pared to Colorado’s 54.
Next up for the Stealth is a road game Saturday night in Calgary versus the Rough-necks (1-2).
Hodgson said the team will fi x its mistakes and be better next week.
“I believe in this group and I know what we will bounce back and put together a much more solid game in Calgary,” he said.
“I believe in this team (and) we have the characters and guys in the room to fi gure it out.”
Vancouver Stealth’s Mitch McMichael (right) and Colorado Mam-moth’s Dan Coates battle off a face-off during Saturday’s NLL game at the Langley Events Centre. The Stealth lost 14-5.

GOETZKEMarianne Elisabeth (Götzke)
Marianne Goetzke died peacefully at Zion Park Manor, Clover-dale, January 19, 2016. She will be missed by the family she loved, by her friends, and remembered at Bethel Mennonite Church, where she was an active member for nearly 60 years. Her family includes 5 children, 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren: Reimar Goetzke & Beverly Short (Lyris Short-Goetzke & Eric Stutzman-Calum, Myelle; Seth Goetzke), Ute Goetzke (Jen & Mark Goerzen-Gabriel, Gus, Piper; Rena & Matt Siddall), Bodo and Sharon Goetzke (Larissa & Jeff Neale-Oliver; Vanessa Goetzke; Natasha & Tyrell Mara-Olia), Lissa and Bill Decker (Brad Decker; Jonathan Decker; Ashley & Jayeson Wall-Madeline, Lincoln, Beckett), Helga Goetzke. Marianne was born May 2, 1923 in Neuhof, East Prussia and baptized in the Adlig-Pokraken Mennoniten Gemeinde. She enjoyed school, especially mathematics. She and Otto Ernst Goetzke married in 1950 and with their fi rst two children emigrated to Canada in 1952. The wildlife around Westwold made the walk to school precarious for the children so Otto left his mill job for a little farm in Aldergrove, 1954. In 1961 they moved onto a larger farm where they raised strawberries and laying hens. Marianne worked on the farm while Otto often did seasonal work at a tannery or fi sh cannery. Marianne showed her deep faith through action rather than word, ministering to her church together with Otto from 1980 to 1989 as a deacon. Her generosity continued with many gifts from her big garden, from her kitchen, and treats of Christmas and birthday chocolates. People tell of her bursting into a beam-ing smile that lit up her face. One couldn’t guess what would make her laugh, but her laughter would make people grin. The celebration of Marianne’s life will be held at Bethel Mennonite Church, 24687-56 Ave., Langley, 11:00 am, February 01, 2016. In lieu of fl owers, her family requests donations to MCC BC.
“Goodness and love unfailing will follow me all the days of my life.” Ps. 23:6

HOWARD George Edward “Ed”
July 30, 1961 ~ January 19, 2016
It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Ed on Tuesday, January 19, 2016 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital surrounded by his family after a short battle with cancer. He was 54 years old. Ed was born in Innisfail, Alberta July 30, 1961 to George and Deloras Howard. He resided in Alberta until the age of six when his Mom and Dad decided to try life on the coast. Ed grew up in Langley where he met his wife Shannon. Shortly after their marriage in 1988 they moved to Aldergrove and this is where they raised their family. He was well known and respect-ed as both a truck driver and machine operator in the excavating industry. In the spring Ed could be found at the baseball diamond cheering on his kids or coaching women’s fastball. He loved to feel the wind in his face with long Sunday rides on his Harley. Ed is lovingly remembered by his parents George and Deloras Howard, wife Shannon (nee Campbell); 3 children Travis (Angela) and grandson Addison; Joshua and Megan; siblings Terri (Michael), Jim (Debbie) and Sharon (Andrew) as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A celebration of Ed’s life will be held Sunday, January 31 at 1:00 p.m. at the Aldergrove Legion, 26607 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove. Special thanks to the nurses and doctors in the emergency room at Abbotsford Regional Hospital for their thoughtfulness and care in our time of need. In lieu of fl owers donations in memory of Ed may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
