Dave Hall served the community to the end.HEATHER [email protected]

Dave Hall has died, just weeks after resigning from Langley City council due to cancer.

“Dave was a devoted member of council. He regularly conducted his own research to understand the issues and possibilities within our city. Dave often brought an opposing view to the council table which contributed to compelling and engaging discussions,” said Mayor Ted Schaffer.

Hall served on City coun-cil for the past seven years, including working on num-erous committees. He resigned in late November.

Hall had often served as a kind of unofficial opposition

on the City council, where he frequently disagreed with his fellow councillors. Budget debates often became heated as Hall pushed for more openness

in City meetings and proced-ures, and tighter controls on taxpayer spending.

Hall was also a Langley School District trustee for nine

years, including a term as board chair.

As well, he was a fitness and sports enthusiast who was devoted to the com-munity. He encouraged young people to be active and was a volunteer at events such as the annual Tri-it Triathlon and Terry Fox Runs.

Hall lived in the City for more than three decades, served 20 years on the City’s Advisory Planning Committee and 17 on the City Park, Recreation and Environment Committee.

The City has lowered flags in his honour.

In lieu of flowers, the Hall family requested that any donations be directed towards organizations that support cancer research like the Terry Fox Foundation or the BC Cancer

Foundation. More information about Hall’s Celebration of Life will be provided as it becomes available.

Home values see their steepest increase in a decade.MATTHEW [email protected]

Houses in Langley are worth more than they were a year ago – in some cases a lot more, according to assessments released this month.

BC Assessment has sent out its valuation of homes, which will be used to help set local property tax rates.

In Langley City and Township, the assessed value of single family homes rose by around 10 to 15 per cent for 2016 compared to last year.

The assessments are based on

the age and type of the house as well as recent sale prices in the surrounding areas.

“This is a representation of the median sale price,” said Brian Smith, a deputy assessor.

It’s the largest average increase for single family homes since 2004/05 in the Lower Mainland, Smith said. That year saw a 24 per cent increase in the region.

The increase in value was mainly linked to single family homes.

Over the past several years, houses have consistently increased in sale price, accord-ing to both BC Assessment and local real estate data. Meanwhile, townhouses and

condo values have increased slowly or not at all.

“We are seeing a little bit of movement now, increasingly on the townhomes,” said Smith.

Condo prices have been stable, he said.

The reasons townhouses and condos have lagged in price increases include the fact that there is a lot of new construction in those markets,

along with a competition among builders on price.

Meanwhile, people who want single family homes have to pay more or move.

People are moving steadily east within the Fraser Valley as they are priced out of the western communities closer to

Vancouver.BC Assessment chose a num-

ber of “typical” homes around the Langleys and looked at their price increases.

A Walnut Grove home was up 12 per cent to $606,000, a Brookswood home up by the same percentage to $654,000, and an Aldergrove home up 11 per cent to $418,000.

Aldergrove may now have some of the cheapest single family homes compared to elsewhere around Metro Vancouver.

So far there haven’t been a lot of calls from homeowners challenging their assessments, said Smith.

“They will have until Feb. 1 [to challenge],” Smith said.

Appeals can be filed online at www.bcassessment.ca.

Reagan Dinzey was the first baby born in Langley in 2016.MATTHEW [email protected]

Elsa and Derek Dinzey didn’t think their daughter would be the first born in Langley this year.

“She wasn’t due until the fourth, the third or fourth,” said Elsa.

But Reagan Dinzey is Langley’s New Years baby, the first born at Langley Memorial Hospital after the start of 2016.

“She wasn’t born until the afternoon,” said Elsa.

They were sure someone else must have had a child before the Dinzey’s arrived at the hospital.

In fact, there was a bit of an unofficial competition under-way.

“There was another couple that was in labour as well,” Derek said.

“They weren’t sure who had ‘won,’” Elsa said.

But eventually the nurses confirmed that Reagan was the official first baby of the year, to the surprise of her parents. Reagan was born with the

help of local midwife Leigh Sheppard.

The only thing her parents had worried about was that their third child would be born during or before the holidays. Derek joked that they just wanted her to be born after Christmas and New Years.

She managed that, and also has a birthday close to those of her two older brothers. Gavin, three, was born in late December and Kurtis, two, was born in January.

It’s now a big time of year for the Dinzey family.

“We had gotten engaged on Jan. 1,” Derek noted, adding their daughter’s birthday to that anniversary.

As the first baby of the year, Reagan went home with a package of items provided by the Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, including blankets and clothes.

She’s been a quiet baby so far, mostly just sleeping and eating, her parents noted.

The legal battle over a TWU law school continues.

MATTHEW [email protected]

The Law Society of B.C. is appealing a ruling last month that Langley’s Trinity Western University could accredit future lawyers.

The ongoing legal dispute began when TWU announced it wanted to open its own law school.

Trinity has been controver-sial for years because of its Community Covenant, a docu-ment students and staff must sign, which among other things forbids sex outside of heterosex-ual marriage.

When TWU asked law societies across Canada to allow it to train lawyers, some allowed it, others, including Ontario’s, said it would not accept TWU graduates as lawyers.

In B.C., the local Law Society’s benchers – the society’s gov-erning body – at first voted in favour of accreditation. After an outcry by some lawyers and a vote against it by the society’s membership, they changed their mind in October 2014.

TWU sought a legal ruling and on Dec. 10. Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson ruled against

the Law Society.He found the benchers had

improperly given up their author-ity to the society members at large.

Now the society will take the case to the B.C. Court of Appeal.

“We respectfully maintain that it was proper for the Benchers to conclude that the voice of our members is important and that we should be guided by that voice on this issue,” said Law Society president David Crossin.

He also said that issues of com-peting Charter rights are raised by the TWU law school – the rights of gay, lesbian, and transgender people to equality, and the reli-gious freedom rights of TWU.

The B.C. Court of Appeal should resolve this fundamental issue, Crossin said.

“We had hoped the Law Society of B.C. would let Justice Hinkson’s decision stand, but we were prepared for an appeal, and we’re pleased that the decision will now rest with the courts,” said TWU spokesperson Amy Robertson.

“The decision to approve a law school graduate must be based not on the personal views of society members, but on the law and evidence. For this reason, we believe the decision to approve TWU graduates will stand in the end,” Robertson said.

This is just one of several legal battles TWU has faced over its planned law school.

A local store has been damaged by multiple thefts.

NICK EAGLANDSpecial to the Langley Advance

A Langley collectibles shop hit by a string of break-ins and attempted break-ins is on the verge of folding after being damaged by flooding early Tuesday.

Wiser’s Wide World of Collectibles, which hosts games nights and sells items such as comic books, board games, sports memorabilia and Pokemon cards, was boarded up Tuesday after what appears to be a failed effort by ram raiders to enter the store.

Police attended Wiser’s, at 96th Avenue and 201st Street, around 3:30 a.m. for an aud-ible alarm, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokeswoman for the Langley RCMP.

A wood barricade being used to replace a metal garage door – which had apparently been destroyed by a large vehicle in a previous break-in attempt – was smashed, breaking an overhead sprinkler and causing a minor flood, Largy said.

The store’s owner, Christopher Wise, wasn’t sure if anything went missing, but estimated $2,000 worth of inventory had been destroyed, Largy said.

The store is retrieving sur-

veillance footage for RCMP investigators to review.

Wise wasn’t available for comment Tuesday but a post to the store’s Facebook page suggests the most-recent dam-age may be the last straw for him.

“Wiser’s Collectibles will be closed for an undetermined amount of time as we have had a second vehicle (smash) into us and this time hit the sprinkler, destroying a lot of the store. After 28 years I may have to walk away as my heart is broken.”

Tuesday night’s flooding followed a trio of attempted

robberies during the past three weeks.

On Dec. 15, the business’s door was damaged, but no one gained access to the building.

On Dec. 18, police responded to an alarm and found a vehicle at the scene after the store’s garage door was smashed. The vehicle was seized, but a K9 unit was unable to establish tracks. Hockey cards worth about $3,500 were missing. On Dec. 30, someone tried to drill through the wood barricade, but failed to gain access.

Langley RCMP are looking for theft suspects.

MATTHEW [email protected]

The Langley RCMP is looking for a man wanted for the theft of electronics from a local cellphone repair store.

Dean Christopher Kalynchuk has been charged with a break and enter that took place on Oct. 6 in Langley City. He allegedly took several iPads, phones, and cellphone parts during the theft.

Kalynchuk is 45 years old, 5’8” tall, and weighs 166 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes, and has several tat-toos, including an ape and a titan on his right arm, and a drag-on and a mermaid on his left arm.

Kalynchuk’s last known address was in Langley City, but he has also been known to frequent Surrey, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.

The police are also looking to identify

several alleged thieves caught on camera at thefts ranging from a heist of tools to a shoplifting of razor blades.

On June 29, two men in a black Honda Civic coupe broke into KMS Tools on the Langley Bypass. After using power tools to get into the building, the men took three welders and a com-pressor kit, valued at about $5,000 in total, Largy said.

One of the men wore an Under Armour hoodie during the break in.

On. Nov. 12, a South Langley business was broken into and company credit cards stolen. The cards were used several times that day before they were cancelled.

Police believe they have video surveil-lance images of the people who used the stolen cards.

On Dec. 23, a man stole a knife set worth more than $700 from the Langley Sears. He was seen leaving the mall parking lot in a red Toyota Corolla.

A break in to several lockers at the Walnut Grove Community Centre resulted in the theft of credit cards, cellphones, car keys, and a vehicle. Police say they have two sus-pects, one described as 5’9” wearing a

black leather jacket, black pants, and a black shirt with a skull on the front. He may have had a red beard, and his face appeared to be injured, with Band-Aids on it, Largy said.

The other suspect, a woman, was about 5’7” with long blonde-brown hair. She was heavy set and was wearing white head-phones or earmuffs around her neck, a purple and blue jack-et, blue jeans, and black runners.

In a New Year’s Day theft, a man walked

into the Langley Wal-Mart and walked out again with head-phones, razor blades, and electric razors, without paying. He may have been with a woman.

Anyone with infor-mation on Kalynchuk or any of the other incidents can call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200, or to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or visit www.solvecrime.ca, or text BCTIP and your message to CRIMES (274637).

Horses hit by carMATTHEW [email protected]

A pair of loose horses were struck by a car in South Aldergrove on the evening of Jan. 1.

The Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) and the RCMP were called out to the 1600 block of 272nd Street that night, said LAPS director Sean Baker.

Baker said two horses had gotten loose and were injured in the incident. Local residents with halters and leads helped round up the animals and LAPS workers called in a veter-inarian.

A canvas of nearby homes turned up the horses’ owners, and both animals were taken to a vet.

Baker said it didn’t appear that the horses were fatally injured.

The driver of the vehicle stayed at the scene and spoke to the RCMP.

The tremor caused no reported damage but jolted many.MATTHEW [email protected]

A small earthquake that rattled homes across Langley Dec. 29 has locals asking for more emergency preparedness advice.

Ginger Sherlock, Langley’s emergency planning coordin-ator, said there have been more calls from the public ask-ing what they need to know, and do, to be prepared for a big disaster.

The quake hit at 11:39 p.m. and was centered just east of Vancouver Island, north-north-east of Victoria.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, it had a strength of 4.8 on the Richter scale, while Natural Resources Canada measured it at 4.3.

No major damage was reported, but many residents said they felt the sudden jolt, with many comparing it to a truck hitting the side of their house.

Sherlock’s job involves trying to make sure as many people as possible are prepared for a quake, flood, major fire, or other catastrophe.

One of the problems of emer-gency preparedness is that it can seem overwhelming at first, she said.

There are long lists of things to do and buy, of items that should be in emergency kits – food, water, flashlights, first aid kits, batteries, and so on – that people can simply give up.

Asked if there was just one thing people could do that would make a difference, the first thing Sherlock picked was simple.

She said everyone should tuck two items under their bed – a pair of hard-soled shoes or boots, with a flashlight tucked inside or even taped to the boots.

After one bad quake in California, there were more than 1,100 people admit-ted to hospitals with cuts from broken glass.

Having hard-soled shoes and a flashlight close to hand gives you the ability to move around and see what you’re doing even if the windows have shattered.

Communication is another key, and one Sherlock says the Langleys need to work on. She’s reaching out to churches and commun-ity groups so they can plan and coordinate how to give aid in the wake of a big quake.

Local residents turned to social media in the wake of the jolt from last week’s quake.

“My whole building shook. I thought a car hit the building,” wrote Jessica Alice on the

Langley Advance Facebook page.“My wall jolted me in a way

I can’t explain,” wrote Chantal Crowell.

Others managed to sleep through it peacefully.

The quake is the strongest in the area in recent years.

Sherlock provided some information on quakes and how to get through them.

What to do?• Sign up for eAlerts on the

TOL website – during events, updates will be sent directly to your email.

• For more information and links, visit the Langley Emergency Program’s website at langleyemergency.ca.

• Sign up for notifications and preparedness information via social media: Facebook & Twitter at LangleyPrepared.

• Understand that after a major earthquake, regular first responders will be over-whelmed and there will be a delay in getting to those trapped and injured.

• You will be in charge of your personal safety, wherever you are (work, play, home…holidays).

• You need to look after

loved ones to ensure their safety: if you cannot, appoint someone who will.

• Know what the school will do (for children) and your employer’s expectations.

• Have a communications plan – know how you will connect afterwards and where everyone will meet.

• Take a first aid course, so you can look after minor injur-ies and help others, neighbours and friends.

• Have enough equipment, food and water to ‘camp’ for seven days (including a porta-potty with sterile hand wipes.

The consequences?Looking at other earthquakes

that have happened around the world, we know:

• Power may be out for days,• Sewer and water lines may

be out for weeks,• Transportation capabilities

and routes may be altered temporarily that may extend months and years,

• Our building codes are good and most buildings will withstand the movement,

• Older buildings, especial-ly those built with brick, are

susceptible to major impacts, and

• Health care system will be temporarily over-whelmed with the influx of impacted injuries.

Key messages:• Be prepared, not

scared• Start small – but

start. Last week’s earth-quake was your wakeup call.

• The hardest thing to explain after the quake, is why you were not ready…

• Get a pair of hard soled shoes and put a flashlight in one, then place under your bed. After an earthquake (or if the smoke alarm goes off), you have protection so your feet do not get cut from broken glass, and you can see.

EARTHQUAKE 101:We can experience three types of earthquakes:•The crustal ones are close to the surface, violent, and short lasting – these happen extremely rarely, and they are not felt far away.•The deep crustal ones happen frequently along the coast, and sometimes effect populated areas – such as Nisqually’s 2001 earthquake, and last week’s Sidney earthquake – both of these quakes were felt by Langleyites. These quakes are felt far away due to the quake location and radiating movement.The subduction zone earthquake, also called the ‘Big One’, would last for minutes, and be felt by most within the West Coast regions. Langley citizens would feel like they are standing on a moving boat, as there would be a rocking motion.


A series of Langley service clubs are providing food to students in need.

MICHAELA [email protected]

It’s heartbreaking for teachers in the Langley school district to see their students arrive to class hungry on Monday mornings.

For a number of reasons, some local students don’t have enough to eat during the weekends.

They arrive at school fatigued and have a difficult time focus-ing on their school work.

This is where and why the Rotary Club’s Starfish Pack pro-gram comes in, said Dorothy McKim, president of the Rotary Club of Langley Central.

Backpacks full of healthy and easy-to-prepare food are being handed out to elementary and middle school students to take home on Fridays, she explained.

There is enough food to last the weekend, a gap in time when the kids can’t rely on their schools’ hot breakfast and lunch programs.

“All the food is purchased because of its nutritional value. We have also made sure the kids will like it, so they will eat it over the weekend,” McKim said.

Fifty children have been iden-

tified as being in need of such assistance, so the Rotary Club is contributing partial proceeds from its recent 26th annual Fraser Valley Wine Fest to this new local program.

The total number of backpacks will be determined when the final fundraising total comes in, McKim said.

At a cost of $525 per student for the academic year, the back-packs contain easy-to-prepare, kid-friendly food, such as pea-nut butter, granola bars, cans of ravioli, and crackers that are carefully selected for their nutri-

tional worth. “We want to ensure it’s easy

to prepare so it’s easier for the kids and families,” said McKim, adding the food, which will be donated by local grocery stores, is microwaveable if it needs to be heated.

“There is enough food for two breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners,” she elaborated.

The Starfish Pack program was started by Rotary in Abbotsford during the 2013-14 school year.

During the day, 400 students in that district use hot breakfast and lunch programs, and an

estimated 300 of these students went without nutritional food on the weekends.

Thanks to the Abbotsford Rotary Club, 263 students from 22 schools were given the opportunity to take part in the program.

Other Rotary Clubs from Langley are now initiating the program locally.

In October, Rotary Club Langley Sunrise supplied 21 backpacks to Wix Brown Elementary and Coghlan Fundamental Elementary – just in time for the Thanksgiving

weekend. Aldergrove Rotary Club began

its Starfish program back in April, and supports 50 students from Parkside and Shortreed Elementary schools, as well as Betty Gilbert Middle School.

Students in the leadership program at Brookswood and Aldergrove Secondary schools are helping stock the backpacks, and volunteers deliver them to the elementary schools.

OUR VIEW

House cost may hit orbit soon

How much higher can house prices go in Metro Vancouver?

Aside from a very brief blip during the darkest days

of the recession, prices have been rising for more than a decade. We could call the rise “steady,” but it’s been closer to meteoric.

Meanwhile, wages have been rising much more slowly. And we’re running out of land that isn’t part of the ALR. You would think that eventually, some kind of limit would be hit and there’d be a price correction, or at least a pause while we caught our breath for a few years.

So far, everyone who has predicted the housing apocalypse for Vancouver (and Toronto, in a similar situation) has been wrong. It seems like such a safe bet. What goes up must come down. And yet, house prices stubbornly refuse to decline.

Whether the cause is foreign buyers or local speculators, or just ordinary demand, we are already seeing some consequences for local homeowners.

One of the least talked about is that the gap between detached houses and every other type of home is splitting owners into winners and losers.

Winners bought houses five, 10, 40 years ago. They will reap huge rewards if they sell now.

Losers have been renters, or bought townhouses or condos. Their homes have not appreciated in value, or not nearly as much. Throw almost everyone between the ages of 18 and 30 into this category – none of them were old enough to even think about buying before the market started to shoot up.

For quite a while, the traditional advice for young folks starting families has been to buy and move up – get a starter home, a condo, a townhouse, and build some equity.

It turns out that for a generation, that equity is at best a static investment, and the second stage – the detached house – just keeps getting farther out of reach. Who’s going to deal with all those younger would-be homebuyers when they have two kids and a townhouse that won’t sell?

F antasy is underrated as a force in politics.

Take a look at Oregon, for example. Right now a group of

self-styled militiamen (i.e. heavily armed anti-government wackos) have taken over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

They have a couple of ostensible goals in mind. First, they wanted to protest the treatment of two local ranchers who set fires that scorched public land and endangered firefighters. But the ranch-ers, facing a stiff five-year jail term, turned themselves in and started serving their time earlier this week.

Their secondary goal is to force the U.S. federal government to turn over federal land to “locals,” or in other words, ranchers, loggers and miners, and damn any talk of balancing prior-ities or the environment or even the difficulty of determining who would con-trol the lands in the future.

These goals may be the ones put for-ward, but they’re secondary to a deeper goal.

These guys are attempting to live out a fantasy of agency.

Very few people have a lot of power in their day to day lives. Even people who do have a lot of power – the wealthy, elected officials, senior military com-manders, high ranking cops – can’t actually do anything they want.

One of the hallmarks of living in a civilized society is that the powerful are not all-powerful. They too must follow the rules and be accountable for their actions.

This is both positive and negative. Democracies are structured so that change can happen, but only within certain channels. So even though our system means that tyrants can’t easily round us up and put chips in our heads, it is also difficult to fight for social change or to combat corrup-tion that is deeply embedded in the existing social order. You can’t just show up with a six gun and call out the bad guy, whoever you think the bad guy is.

Well, you can’t. I can’t. We know and understand that the world doesn’t work like that, and that it never really did.

Not so the militia goons who are now holed up in a government building near a migratory bird sanctuary.

They think they’re cowboys. They think they’re revolutionaries, like the Continental Army of the 1770s. They think that you can use violence, or at least the barely veiled threat of violence, to change things.

These guys aren’t interested in peti-tioning, organizing, running for election,

supporting candidates, or even going to jail for civil disobedience. They want to be heroes straight out of a John Wayne movie.

They are attempting to live out a fantasy. They’re not crazy – all of pop culture and the hothouse environ-ment of the anti-government militia movement have been propping up this fantasy for years. They’ve been told that the world is on the brink of tyranny thanks to socialized

medicine and background checks for assault rifles. They think paying to use federal land is theft, and that terrorists and illegal immigrants are going to sneak up and kill them and their families any day now.

We all live, to a certain extent, in per-sonal fantasy worlds. But we acknow-ledge them, and they mostly have enough overlap with the real world that we can navigate the day-to-day grind of job and school and doing the dishes and all of that other stuff.

Some people can’t quite do it. They cut loose from reality, and head off on their own. The problem is if they do it with a truckload of guns and a few fellow fantasists.Read Bob Groeneveld’s Odd Thoughts online

Dear EditorDo we have another tax and

spend Prime Minister?Our new PM Justin Trudeau, 44,

likes to talk about how he learned so much about politics from discus-sions around the kitchen table with his dad.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau was Canada’s prime minister for 15 years between 1968 and 1984.

I remember as a young naïve (and not just in politics) family guy, getting caught up in the media driv-en hype of that day and voting for Pierre Trudeau.

It didn’t take long to realize he was on a tax and spend binge.

The national debt graph became a steep incline, interest rates were high and I recall in the early ’80s it took 33 per cent or 1/3 of our dol-lar to pay the interest on our debt which was effectively like a huge tax on top of all the other rising taxes.

The dollar was worth only 66 cents of buying power.

Like father, like son? Justin Trudeau is now attributing his elec-tion success on campaign promises of more deficit spending to spur the economy.

He did say “don’t worry about the budget, the budget will balance itself.”

He already appears to be on a spending spree, throwing caution to the wind, not looking very financially responsible with our tax dollars.

Harper was campaigning on pro-moting fiscal restraint and holding the debt in line.

All I know is that when your job security (family income) is uncer-tain, it’s not a good time to rack up your credit card or take on a second mortgage.

Media hype played the biggest role in getting the Liberals elected now it’s the media’s job to make sure Trudeau doesn’t embarrass them and get our country in finan-cial trouble.

Roland Seguin, Langley

Dear Editor,Starting on Jan. 30,

I will unveil my next proposal for the com-mercial area of Fort Langley, this time at the centre of the village, the corner of Glover Road and Mary Avenue.

As I have written to you before, I am not a developer per se, only a local resident trying to make my community a better, more vibrant place.

I only want to build buildings that matter, buildings that can truly

make a real difference to improve and revital-ize Fort Langley.

To me, quality materials, great design, environmental respons-ibility, hidden parking, and community matter more than profit.

I accept that we live in a cynical age, and some simply won’t believe this, but I sincerely hope others recognize that Coulter Berry represents these principles, first and foremost, whatever their opinion of it.

The next proposal coming up will be just that: a proposal.

It is important to me to gather as much input from anyone that wants to offer it, and proceed from there, before final-izing any design for council’s ultimate con-sideration.

Anyone is welcome to RSVP and at www.glov-ermarychurch.com/rsvp attend our initial pres-entations and extensive Q&A from Jan. 30 to Feb. 1, at the Fort Langley Community

Hall. Anyone can ask any-

thing. All feedback is welcome.

I truly hope the community can move forward in a more con-structive way than we have seen here in Fort Langley in the past.

I will do everything that I can to involve and listen to anyone that wants to partici-pate in the planning process, for the better-ment of Fort Langley.

Eric Woodward, Fort Langley

Freedom at last for FigueroaDear Editor,

We, along with the Figueroa family, received the best gift we could ask for two days before Christmas, Jose Figueroa was set free.

What a sight it was. The moment he took his first step outside the church, God caused a bald eagle to circle over-head. That was the uni-versal sign of freedom that we all needed.

We would also like to take this opportun-ity to personally thank the Honourable John McCallum, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship for mak-ing things right. We tip our glass to you.

ˠ Fire destroyed Marr’s Garage and Mountain’s Transfer on New Year’s Eve. Loss of the building’s contents, including cars, trucks, and the municipal bulldozer, was complete, although firefighters managed to stop the fire from spreading to the Langley Advance shop next to the garage. ˠBilliards winners in the Christmas tournament at T. Callow’s barbershop were G. Bishop, R. Ryan, and A. Wheat. Snooker winners were Dr. Simpson, A. Marr, J. Brogan, and H. Brandow.

Seventy Years AgoJanuary 3, 1946

ˠHarry (Nobby) Clarke had made a successful escape from a German prisoner of war camp and had worked his way to freedom through the Polish underground movement and Russian concentration camps. He wrote a letter about his experiences to his friends in Langley. ˠAn appreciation dinner was held for three retiring public officials: Magistrate D.W. Poppy, Reeve Alex C. Hope, and Councillor J.W. Bray. Master of ceremonies was reeve-elect Noel Booth.

Sixty Years AgoJanuary 5, 1956

ˠReeve Bill Poppy was sworn in for his first term as chief magistrate in Langley District. Among the spectators at the ceremony was Bill’s 91-year-old father, who had served as reeve between 1912 and 1931.

ˠOne to nine inches (2.5 to 23 centimetres) of snow had fallen each day since Dec. 23. Nearly 30 inches (75 cm) lay on the ground. The opening of local schools was delayed two days. ˠMr. and Mrs. Bob Dunham and their children were away, visiting, when their Biggar Rd.

Langley in history


Winter wonders: The recent cold weather provided opportunities for people to see hoar frost out of doors. The rains returned Tuesday but temperatures are still hovering close to freezing.

Improve your speech comprehension at work — without attracting attention.

Whether at work, during con versations in small groups or when watching television, one in six adults experience pro blems when it comes to accurate speech comprehension and hearing in everyday situations. Although background noise and music can im pair communication with friends and family, two thirds of those affected still do not use any hearing aids.

There are many reasons for this but for most people it’s that they are not con vinced that hearing aids will significantly benefit them or it’s the unease they feel about attracting attention by wearing a visible hearing aid.

This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manufactured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a customfit miniature hearing aid that dis appears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.

Virtual function of the ear

“Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech understanding, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a customfit solution.

For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behindtheear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manu facturer Phonak.

See how the virtually invisible Virto V fits into your daily routine.

If you are interested in finding out more about these new hearing aids, the first step is to book hearing evaluation and determine if the new Virto V technology is the right solution for you. For those who are hard of hearing, this can be particularly useful for finding out whether it is possible to hear and understand more clearly with discreet inthecanal hearing solutions.

At Connect Hearing we offer you the chance to be among the first to try these stateoftheart hearing aids. Call 1.888.408.7377 to book your complimentary evaluation today.

Does the Virto V Replace Traditional Hearing Aids?

Advertorial

Langley youth, who excel and give back, can earn honours and cash.

ROXANNE [email protected]

To say someone has sass, well, it’s often perceived as derogatory.

To say a Langley youth is sassy, well... that’s taking on a whole new meaning this year, thanks to local Rotarians.

Members of the Langley Rotary Clubs want to take the sting out of “sassy” by introdu-cing a new program – aptly called the SASSY Awards.

Much like

they did with the five-year run of Langley Has Talent, members of the four Rotary Clubs in Langley have come together again to introduce a new program acknowledging local youth who excel in their field of interest.

But moreover, explained SASSY co-coordinator and Rotarian Rod Wainwright, this new program will honour youth who also give back to their community in “meaningful ways.”

This program is designed to give ongoing support for the initiatives of youth who are currently mak-ing, or wanting to, make a difference, said Wainwright, recently selected as the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce business-person of the year.

The new program is

named the SASSY,

which stands for Service Above Self in Students & Youth. And the name incorporates the Rotary motto of Service Above Self. This program will honour those between the ages of 15 and 21, who live or study in Langley.

Unlike Langley Has Talent, how-ever, this program acknowledges accomplishments outside the enter-tainment realm.

Awards will be given in eight cat-egories: community service, inter-national service, performing arts,

visual arts, overcoming adver-sity, sportsmanship, youth

leadership, and environ-mental leadership.

Each year, one youth in each category will

receive a $1,000 bursary – $500 of which must be

donated to a registered charity of their choice – plus a “stylized” SASSY

award trophy, Wainwright said.The inaugural awards will

be presented, in a Juno-style SASSY ceremony being held

May 6 at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley.

The evening, Wainwright said, will include the awards

presentations, videos highlighting each

of the three finalists in

all eight categor-ies, plus live per-

formances (possibly by some famil-

iar faces from the past Langley Has Talent stages) that will be incorpor-ated throughout the show.

A program with historyRotary Clubs around the world

are known for a number of their youth initiatives including the Rotary Youth Exchange, leadership initiatives, and Rotaract.

The SASSY program is relatively new. It was originated six years ago in the neighbouring communities of Surrey and White Rock.

“The Langley clubs have had the benefit of building on the White Rock/Surrey success,” said co-chair Dan Bennett, a fellow Rotarian and local realtor.

“Our goal is to provide ongoing support for the youth of today, who will be the volunteers, involved cit-izens, and leaders of tomorrow.”

The program recognizes, acknow-ledges, and celebrates the achieve-ments of youth who, he said, “exemplify the ideals of Rotary, as role models for other youth to say ‘I can do that, too!’ However, the piece we think will have a major impact is providing a hand up to at risk youth in the hope that they will also be tomorrow’s achievers, mak-ing a positive contribution to our communities.”

Bennett and Wainwright are reaching out to the Langley School District, as well as Kwantlen Polytechnic University, and Trinity Western University to spread word about the new program and encour-age nominations.

As well, nomination forms will be available online to the public in early February, at sassyawardslang-ley.ca.

Santa was along for the ride at the first Candy Cane Walk.

Langley Township firefight-ers based at the Murrayville hall spend the workday help-ing others.

And like many firefighters, they spend time in their off hours helping others as well.

New this year, the fire-fighters decided they could help raise food donations and funds for the Langley Food Bank.

The hall’s first Candy Cane Walk was on Dec. 19 and had the fire crews tour around the neighbourhood

to collect donations for local charity.

“Our walk was a great suc-cess,” said organizer Shawn Saran. “We raised just over $1,600 in cash donations and approximately seven bins of food.”

The plan is to make this a new holiday tradition. Walnut Grove’s firefighters have enjoyed strong com-munity support for several years with an annual food drive.

Saran said the hall plans to work with other local fire-fighters and halls on holiday activities and helping spread the word about such efforts taking place around the com-munity.

Firefighters help out food bankLangleyAdvanceA12 Thursday, January 7, 2016

Hall 6 in Murrayville held its first Candy Cane Walk on Dec. 19, gathering up food and cash donations for the Langley Food Bank.

Hanging too tightly to animate and inanimate objects can prove detri-mental, and local multi-media artist Betty Spackman hopes her exhib-

ition going up next week at Fort Gallery pro-vokes thoughts on that very subject.

Taking Flight: A Collection of Curiosities is an assembly of works and paintings by Spackman, augmented with pieces by Victoria Bowes, Elizabeth Carefoot, and Deb DeJong.

The exhibit opens next Wednesday, Jan. 13, and remains on display until Jan. 31, with an opening reception on Friday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m.

“This eclectic ‘curiosity shop’ of objects and paintings comes from considering our propen-sity to collect and try to hold on to what we desire to know or to have,” said Spackman.

“We tend to want to keep and to cage the objects of our desires but in doing so we face the danger of destroying the very things we admire. Ultimately, owning and naming something has very little to do with under-standing it. I am interested in this paradox. I am interested in the act of capturing and confining life… but mostly, I am interested in freedom,” she concluded.

The opening also features musician Kelta Haverland singing Caged Bird from her Juno Award nominated CD, Naked Soul.

Evoking compassion for refugees

The gallery is also bringing back its First Thursday events starting tonight (Thursday) at 7 p.m.

It will feature gallery artist Claire Moore and writer Louise Bergen Price.

Moore, whose work is featured in the gal-lery’s current group exhibit Small Wonders, is a visual artist and art educator involved with many community-based art projects.

She will be talking about a recent project in her home community of Surrey that focuses on the role of the arts in community building.

Price was born in a refugee camp in Austria shortly after the Second World War.

Her stories recall experiences of her grand-parents’ and parents’ generation, Mennonite refugees from Stalin’s Ukraine. She will be sharing one of her short stories, a timely call for compassion toward current refugees.

The Fort Gallery, at 9048 Glover Rd. in Fort Langley, is open Wednesdays through Sundays, from noon to 5 p.m.

How do you improve excellence?

Double it.

Recycling Ambassadors have been busy around Langley.

When Kim Burns’ husband PJ embarked on his master’s degree in environmental education, the couple started learning all kinds of things about what is happening to the planet and the ecosystem.

“I started feeling like I want-ed to do something to make a difference,” she said.

So she started collecting recyclables from residents within her Murrayville hous-ing complex. And as she col-lected, Burns said, she was shocked by the volume of returnables that accumulated.

“That was one week’s worth,” she said, pointing to a box full of dead batteries and a mound of plastic bags. “It surprised me – and that’s why I do what I do.”

What Burns does is vol-unteer with the Township Recycling Ambassador Program, an initiative for residents in multi-family com-plexes who want to increase recycling, reduce waste, and have an impact on where they live. Volunteers are provided with a training workshop, educational materials, posters and promotional items, along

with ongoing assistance and support from Township staff.

Ambassadors educate and inspire their neighbours to recycle and take that extra step to keep items out of the landfill and the environment.

“We recycled and used our Blue Box before, but we never thought about it any more than that,” said Burns.

When she learned how toxic waste from discarded batteries can leach into the ground, she wanted to do more. So she went to the Township’s website, found out about the Ambassador Program at tol.ca/ambassador, and signed up in the summer of 2014.

“In a multiplex, you are responsible for so much more (waste production) than in a single family home,” said

Burns, noting her Orangewood Country Homes complex has 111 units.

The strata council voted to support the program, collec-tion bins were set up in the clubhouse, and Kim and PJ now take carloads of light-bulbs, plastic bags, and batter-ies to the recycling depot once or twice a week.

Kim has helped residents recycle their electronics, and taken unwanted items and re-used them around the com-plex where possible.

She noted that the secret to running a successful recycling initiative is to make collection easy and accessible, and have a rotation of people volunteer-ing to help.

“People want to recycle but working people are busy

and seniors are not always mobile,” she said. But once a collection point is established and people get into the habit, “It’s not that hard.”

“It’s working very well,” said Orangewood Strata presi-dent Hermine Benson.

She credits Kim and PJ’s infectious enthusiasm and the helpful information from Township solid waste coordin-ator Krista Daniszewski with getting everyone to join in.

Once the initial learn-ing curve was overcome, Orangewood residents adopted the practice of separating their returnables from their trash. They even use their complex’s Facebook page to encourage residents to take part in the program.

“I thought our recycling efforts were a drop in the bucket until I saw this,” said Kim. “This is from one com-plex in one week. We want to inspire other places to do this. I want them to care. I want them to get involved. There is only so much room for gar-bage, and everything we do has an effect on the environ-ment.”

Visit recyclinginbc.ca/mmbc-depots, call the recyc-ling hotline at 604-RECYCLE or visit rcbc.ca. To become a Township Recycling Ambassador or to learn more, visit tol.ca/ambassador or call 604-532-7300.


A little advice from Township Solid Waste coordinator Krista Daniszewski (third from left) has turned Orangewood residents (left to right) Georgina Blair, Eleanor Thomas, Pru Sharp, Kim Burns, Bev Rodrigo and Hermine Benson into dedicated and effective Recycling Ambassadors.

Bright sunshine did not make the water that warm for swimmers.MATTHEW [email protected]

Several dozen polar bear swimmers dove into the Fraser River from the beach of Brae Island to mark the start of the year at noon on Jan. 1.

The first arrival at the beach was Martin Phillips-Hing.

The Fort Langley resident swam last year and had taken part in polar bear swims as a teenager in Vancouver.

“I think people over-estimate how bad it is,” he said before tak-ing a dip.

That said, he lives in Fort Langley and doesn’t have far to go.

“If I didn’t have a hot shower, I wouldn’t be doing this,” Phillips-Hing said.

Bruce Cairnae was taking his second polar bear swim at the Fort, but has swum in freezing water before when hunting back in Ontario.

“When I went last year it wasn’t that bad,” Cairnae said.

There were quite a few first timers among the crowd.

“Yes, I’m scared,” said Chris Walsh, taking his first ever polar bear swim. “I think I might die.”

He brought tow-els and a change of clothes, including extra socks to wear afterwards.

Walsh drove out from Surrey, which gave him time to think about wheth-er or not it was a bad idea.

The swimmers

gathered at the shore in everything from costumes to Speedos and swimming caps just before noon.

After a countdown they all ran into the water, but many were out just as quickly. A few splashed around for about 30 seconds before retreating to the beach.

“Too cold,” said Walsh. “It wasn’t so bad actually when you got into it, though.”

“I would say colder [than last year], maybe because it was warmer outside,” said Phillips-Hing.

“That stuff I said about ‘You don’t feel it when you first go in?’ That’s not true,” he added.

The Brae Island swim began just a few years ago as an informal gath-ering.

Swimmers dove into the Fraser River at Brae

Island, and most were out just as quickly at

noon on Jan. 1. A few dozen people gathered

for the now-annual event, some of them

wearing costumes, others simply in their

swimsuits. Few of the swimmers managed to stay in the water more

than about 30 seconds on Friday morning.

Q: How can hearing aids help?

A: Hearing aids can improve your quality of life by improving your self-con� dence and lowering your stress level. We connect with those around us through communication and it is very tiring and frustrating to struggle with communication on a daily basis. Hearing aids help by reducing this load on our mental faculties. They allow the energy we expend constantly trying to communicate with people to be conserved and used for other tasks. Most � rst time hearing aid users report feeling less “worn out” at the end of the day once they have adapted to hearing aids. The � rst step in better hearing is to call our of� ce for a free hearing screening appointment (604)510-5142

Q: What should people do � rst when they wind up overwhelmed by debt?

A: Here are some key facts to keep in mind if collectors are calling and you’re not sure what to do:

• It should never cost you money to fi gure out your debt restructuring options. Don’t pay up-front fees to ANY advisor – you should be able to have a free, in-person consultation.

• Be careful dealing with unregulated credit counselors and debt advisors. Only a government-licensed Trustee has the legal authority to reduce all consumer debts and help you restructure.

• Consider a Consumer Proposal as an option to reduce the debt to what you can afford to repay, stop all interest and collections, and get you back on track.

Q: It is 2016, and I need to get � t. What is better… martial arts or joining a gym?

A: Many people ask me what is the best form of exercise. My answer is always the same…”The one you will actually do!” Although this is a simple answer, sometimes it is hard to determine what exactly that might be. The guilt of over-indulgence can often send us rushing into the wrong choice. There are many interesting options to increase � tness, help you lose weight and improve your health. Look at your lifestyle, available time, physical challenges, family commitments and � nancial capabilities. Take time to explore your options before you make a decision. Like anything worthwhile, it takes time, dedication and commitment to reap the rewards.

Happy New Year!

Q: Why is prep so important?

A: Proper preparation of any painting job will prevent paint failure and ensure the best possible outcome for your painting project. Before painting, you need to ensure you have appropriate safety equipment such as gloves and masks. Make sure all glossy areas are sanded, walls are washed, holes are � lled and bare areas are primed. You also need to ensure you have good protection for furniture and � oors and the right tools for the job.Remember that your top coat will only be as good as your basecoat!

Q: What are Chattels and Fixtures?

A: The law distinguishes between the two, so it’s important you understand this when selling your home. A chattel is moveable property, whereas a � xture is a chattel that has been physically � xed or attached. Your bed, sofa & dining table are all examples of chattels. A built-in bookcase would be considered a � xture. Be clear on what you are leaving or taking when you sell, as there can be confusion, especially when it comes to items like curtain rods and curtains, and wall-mounted TVs. Technically, the curtain rod would stay and the curtains can be removed. The TV goes, but the TV bracket that is screwed into the wall would need to stay.

Issues like this can go to court, so be sure your REALTOR® is very clear in the contract about inclusions and exclusions.

I would love to chat with you and answer your questions! Call me if you’re thinking of buying

or selling and let’s talk!

Q: Are you looking to buy a pre-owned home?

A: When purchasing a pre-owned home, � nd out what year is was built, calling it an “old timer” won’t work when applying for insurance. It’s important to have an inspection done and understand what the de� ciencies mean. The year of updates and renovations on homes is required, especially if the home is over 20 years old. The key areas for updates are the: Roof, Heating, Electrical, Plumbing & Age of the Hot Water Tank. Homes with aluminum wiring are becoming dif� cult to insure. For any renovations that have been done on the home, ask if they had been done by a quali� ed and licensed contractor.

Dear Anne,Last year I bought

potted herbs and repotted them in lar-ger containers under a heat light. They were successful, but I was plagued by fruit flies to the point I gave up. I used milk and vinegar/soap solutions but to no avail. Any help you can give me regarding soil and fly pro-tection would be appreciated.

Bob, Burnaby

These flies are similar to fruit flies but when they come from pot-

ted plants, they are fungus gnats. Fungus gnats live and breed in moist soil. In dryer soil, they don’t breed and so die out.

Spread about a third to half an inch (one centimetre) layer of sand over the sur-

face of the potting mix where the plants are growing. Then let the soil dry out just a little before watering again.

Some people deal with fungus gnats by watering from the bottom and a few hours

later dumping the water and waiting a few days before watering again. Another alternative is dusting cinna-mon powder over the soil surface.

Many of the Mediterranean herbs prefer soil that dries out periodically because well-drained soil and per-iodic droughts are type of situation in the lands where they originate. Rosemary, thyme, sage and oregano are all Mediterranean herbs.

Parsley does best in fertile soil but can handle dryness because it has a taproot where it can store food and moisture. Chives have storage in their bulbs. Mint does better in moist soil, but prefers to be outside. Fungus gnats don’t survive long out-side because pests of all kind are a free lunch for birds.Dear Anne,

My bay tree was damaged by cold temperatures last winter when I left it outside. I usually put it into my tool shed. Do you know the hardi-ness of this plant here?

Judith MacDonald, Vancouver

Your bay tree is a Mediterranean native. It’s a zone 8 tree reputed to be hardy to 5F (-15C) – but this is in perfect conditions: warm south wall, excellent drainage.

This means that on the Gulf Islands, on Vancouver Island and on very shel-tered south slopes and in Vancouver areas close to the sea, garden-planted bay trees usually survive.

But even there they’re always susceptible to cold-er-than-normal temperatures or unusually chilly winds especially when cold com-bines with wet.

Container plants need to be one zone hardier than those in the ground where roots are sheltered.

When temperatures dip below freezing, your bay tree should be in your shed day and night – hopefully by a window. Don’t be surprised if it defoliates. Leaves return in spring.

The win earns the team rights to national contests.

The members of Team Tardi, which curls out of Langley, had gold-med-al performances during the B.C. Junior Curling Championships in Kamloops on Jan. 4.

Cloverdale brothers Tyler and Jordan Tardi won the junior men’s title with their Langley Curling Club/Royal City team.

Later Sunday afternoon, Tardi’s team beat Matthew

McCrady’s rink by a score of 8-3.

The team will now trav-el to Stratford, Ont., later this month for the 2016 Canadian Junior Curling Championships.

The winners of the national event will go to the World Junior Curling Championships in Turkey.

Tardi’s team earned a berth into the BC Men’s Championship in Nelson from Feb. 10 to 14.

Team Tardi takes top spot

HEATHER [email protected]

The Langley Ice Hawks headed into the finals of the Cloverdale Ice Crusher tour-nament against an undefeated rival.

But the peewee C6 squad returned home having taken top spot in their division and the gold.

“The boys came out of round robin play seeded first and took on a tough Cloverdale C1 team in the semis, defeating them 5-3 in a nail-biter,” said coach Michael Hendricks. “Goalie Mitch Boucher was very strong in net, making some huge saves to preserve the win.”

The Ice Hawks took on undefeated Cloverdale C3 in the finals, winning 3-1 and dominating play. Their coaches said they kept the pressure on throughout the game.

“The boys played a great team game and controlled the play despite the close score,” said coach Mike Newby. “The team was outstanding defensively, and David Hendricks scored the game winning goal on some

nifty work by Logan Heales and Brandon Toby.”

The team came third in the Princeton tourney at the begin-ning of December.

Overall the Ice Hawks are 12-9-2 in all competitions,

including Fraser Valley West league play, LMHA inter-league play, tournaments and exhib-ition games.

“It’s a great group of boys who are working hard and hav-ing a lot of fun,” he added.

TWU pulls away in California

The Trinity Western University Spartans will head into conference play on a winning note after a solid 73-66 win over the Biola Eagles in exhibition women’s basketball action Friday night in La Mirada, Calif.

The Spartans are now on a two-game winning streak, while this is Biola’s fourth loss in a row.

The Spartans led the game for just about 90 per cent of the 40 minutes, but the Eagles were within arm’s reach for much of the afternoon. Biola had the game tied with just five minutes to play before TWU caught fire to end the game on top.

2016 starts with a winThe Rivermen hosted Prince George.

The Langley Rivermen ended 2015 with three straight home wins and a road loss.

A Dec. 30 road game versus the Chilliwack Chiefs was a 2-1 loss for Langley.

To start 2016, they welcomed the Prince George Spruce Kings Jan. 3.

After 20 minutes, the Rivermen led the game 2-1 and had the shot lead at 12-9. Period two went scoreless.

A five goal spree in the final frame turned out to be the dif-ference, giving the Rivermen a 6-1 win. The Rivermen remain in third place in the Mainland Division with a 22-14-0-1.

The Rivermen visited the Chiefs again Jan. 6 (after press time).

They head to Vancouver Island when they take on the Capitals Jan. 9 and the Victoria Grizzlies Jan. 10.

Pre-Christmas presents: The Langley Minor Atom A1 team had a golden Christmas with the win at the Abbotsford Minor Atom Rep Tournament Dec. 19 to 21. The gold medal finish for these 10-year-olds came after a 7-2 game against Chilliwack, a 3-3 tie with Kamloops, and wins over Nanaimo (3-1), Chilliwack (6-0) and Kamloops (8-3 in the finals).

The TWU Spartans learn from tough U.S. games against NCAA schools.

Trinity Western University men’s hockey squad rang in 2016 with a swing through the American Midwest to take on NCAA teams.

Jan. 1 saw the TWU men take a 1-0 loss to the NCAA Div. I Wisconsin Badgers in Madison in an exhibition match.

“We played quite well con-sidering we had not have a game in almost a month. It’s tough to get up to game speed against a Big Ten team like Wisconsin,” said TWU head coach Barret Kropf. “Our pen-alty kill was strong again, and our power play was good, but had a little bit of difficulty with

the bigger ice.”Spartan goalie Silas Matthys

was impressive between the pipes for TWU as he held Wisconsin off of the score sheet for much of the game as he finished 48 saves on the afternoon.

“Silas played in his typical fashion making big saves and keeping us in the game and giving us a chance to win,” said Kropf.

Wisconsin finished with 49 shots on goal to TWU’s 17. The Spartans were 0-3 on the power play, while the Badgers were 0-2. The Badgers had a 40-18 advantage in the Faceoff circle.

Things didn’t get any bet-ter in Nebraska where the Spartans ended up with a 6-0 loss against the No. 6 ranked Omaha Mavericks Jan. 2.

“They are a great club and there is a reason they are a top ranked team and they should be higher ranked their current

No. 6 in the NCAA,” the coach said. “We were probably a little tired at the start of the game, after driving all night to Omaha, and they took advan-tage of a few broken plays. But we were able to settle down and push back as the game went on.”

TWU third year goaltender Silas Matthys made 44 saves but they were up against a highly ranked school.

“Coming home after a dis-appointing loss is tough, but the guys are up after our per-formance against Wisconsin and being pushed against a strong Omaha team,” Kropf said. We are looking forward to getting back into league action in Victoria and it is great that we are coming home without any major injuries. Trips like this allow us to see our growth, both as a team and as a league.”

The Spartans head to Victoria for games Jan. 8 and 9.

Langley’s Garrett Billings and the rest of the Vancouver Stealth open their 2016 sea-son at home with a Saturday contest at the Langley Events Centre.

Billings played for the New England Black Wolves (based out of Uncasville, Connecticut). They are visit-ing here this weekend to start the season.

The Stealth will field few new faces. Most of the team returns for another sea-son.

Of the newcomers, 22-year-old Brier Jonathan joins a team with most players much older. He helped secure a sil-ver for for Iroquois Nationals in the World Indoor Lacrosse

Championships in 2015.Ian Hawksbee who was with

the Colorado Mammoth and the Stealth in the past, and ex-Roughneck Travis Cornwall were picked up as free agents

in the off-season.

Chris Levis, formerly with

the Mammoth. He is a seasoned veter-

an (who lives in Langley and runs Levy’s Source for

Sports). He’s back up to young netminder Eric Penney.Trivia:In a www.laxallstars.com

preview of 2016, web editor, self-professed box lacrosse junkie and official Mark Donahue dug up some interest-ing trivia about the Vancouver

Stealth.He noted that 21 of the 24

on the roster live within two hours of the Langley Events Centre, making the Stealth the most local team in the league.

Donahue’s assessment added that the reduced amount of travel for players to get to and from their homebase should help the team, both in player stamina and franchise travel costs.

The public can see what the Stealth have to offer this sea-son when the action kicks off Saturday at 7 p.m.

The 2015 season was not one to reminisce about as the team finished 5-13. The Stealth achieved only two wins while on the road and did not qualify for the playoffs.

LangleyAdvance Thursday, January 7, 2016 A23BUSINESS

Two account-ing firms in Langley have united under

one banner.Malish & Clark and

Grant Thornton LLP are now one.

An announcement was issued Monday saying the long-stand-ing Langley firm of Malish & Clark – which operates near 64th Avenue and 204th Street – shares a similar client base, similar culture, and similar focus as Grant Thornton. Therefore, partner Steve Malish calls the new union a “perfect fit.”

“We’re not just becoming a cog in a large, corporate wheel. Grant Thornton shares our belief in putting our people – and our clients – first, and that’s how we’ll continue to operate,” Malish said, his private company having pro-vided accounting and tax services to Langley and Fraser Valley pri-vate businesses for the past quarter century.

“Working with owner-man-aged busi-nesses is our passion, and we’re fortunate to have found a partner that also shares this focus and commitment,” he added.

Grant Thornton, which has an office at the freeway and 200th Street interchange in Langley, is a leading Canadian accounting (some 4,000 people in offices across the country) and advisory firm providing audit, tax, and advisory ser-vices to private and public organizations. It’s part of Grant Thornton International, which has member firms in more than 100 countries worldwide.

“Grant Thornton shares Malish & Clark’s commitment to the Fraser Valley community and that will continue to be an important part of our business moving forward,” said Colin Yakashiro, Grant Thornton managing partner for the B.C.’s south coast.

“In fact, it’s quite amazing how simi-lar our two practices are – in size, culture and client base. We’re looking forward to coming together,” Yakashiro added.

On shortlist

Two Fort Langley shops have made the shortlist.

They’re classi-fied among the best of the best of B.C. small businesses, and the news was well received by chef Stephan Schigas, owner of Blacksmith Bakery, an artisan bakery that was built on Church Street – on the original site of blacksmith Charles Reid’s shop that was established a century earlier.

Schigas’ company has been shortlisted as one of the province’s

best employ-ers, while just up the street and down the alley (Gasoline Alley, that is) sits another shop that is up for top honours in the international

trade category.It’s Republica Coffee

Roasters Inc., a locally owned and operated artisan coffee roast-eria operated by Hiro Tsujimoto and Rick Masana.

They started work-ing with the coffee in 2007, but didn’t open their business until 2011.

Today, with 11 staff, they operate a whole-sale operation out of a warehouse on 98th Avenue in Walnut Grove that accounts for about 70 per cent of their business, and a retail outlet in the village that was opened three years ago and accounts for about 30 per cent of the growing operation.

The duo still have no idea who nom-inated them for the award, but they’re very appreciative of the recognition. Once they learned of the nomination, Masana said they campaigned hard to make the cur-rent shortlist.

“We’re very excit-ed,” Masana said,

noting that they cur-rently trade with 54 countries around the world, and have some exciting ideas about growing their little Langley business fur-ther.

Both these Langley companies have made it into the Top 10 semi-finalists in the competition.

Businesses in the Top 10 will now move forward to face a panel of judges, who will review their businesses, and based on the award criter-ia, narrow down the competition to the top five finalists in each category.

In this next stage, each semi-finalist must present a report summarizing their business. Much of the holiday for Masana and Tsujimoto was spent finalizing that report, which they’re presenting to the judg-es today (Thursday).

The winners of each category will be announced at the Small Business BC Awards ceremony on Feb. 25, at the Pan Pacific Vancouver Hotel.

Recipients of 13th annual awards will be given $1,500. They’re also offered a one-year all-access pass to Small Business BC education resources and experts, and one-on-one business men-torship opportunities with notable advisors from award sponsors.

There were origin-ally six Langley busi-nesses that were nom-inated for this year’s awards: Beatniks Bistro (in the people’s choice’s category), TPI Langley (best com-munity impact), All In One Productions Inc. (best concept and best emerging entrepre-neur), and Erikson’s Daylily Gardens (best community impact).

• Stay tuned to the Langley Advance to find out how these two local

businesses do
