Guilty verdict in 16 Avenue fatal crash

Alternate oil pipline route considered

TRACY HOLMESBlack Press

When dump truck driv-er Glen Edward Theriault crossed a double-yel-low line on 16 Avenue in South Langley nearly three years ago — ulti-mately killing a South Surrey man in a head-on collision — it was a “con-scious, deliberate, risky decision,” a Surrey Pro-vincial Court judge said Friday.

“No reasonable person would even consider driv-ing in the manner the accused did in this case,” Judge Paul Dohm said prior to fi nding Theri-ault guilty of dangerous driving causing death in connection with the Jan. 18, 2011 crash that killed 59-year-old Jim Neiss.

“The accused deliber-ately drove dangerously. The only way the accused could not have seen (headlights of an oncom-ing vehicle) is if he didn’t look at all.”

Theriault, 65, has been on trial since mid-July. Friday’s verdict was de-livered on the 10th day of the proceedings, and brought Neiss’s fami-ly and co-workers some consolation.

“I feel relief and vin-dicated,” Brenda Michie, Neiss’s widow, told Black Press outside court. “The judge did an excellent, thorough job.

The people planning to build a second oil pipeline through Langley Township are looking at a different route that would avoid digging up the fl ood plain near the Salmon River.

In response to a Times query, Trans Mountain spokesperson Lizette Parsons Bell said the company is considering an alternate path, one that came up during meetings with property owners along the proposed route in Langley.

“From those discussions, we have re-

ceived good input about an alternative that may better meet our routing objec-tives,” Parsons Bell said in a written state-ment emailed to The Times.

“We are currently pursuing this active-ly.”

That option could be the Redwoods Golf

Course, according to Byron Smith, who is one of the property owners who met with the land agent for the pipeline company.

“That would be my suspicion,” Smith told The Times.

Glen Edward Theriault was found guilty on Friday, Nov. 15 of dangerous driving causing death in connection with this Jan. 18, 2011 head-on collision that killed South Surrey resident Jim Neiss. Neiss was an employee of the Langley School District.

Suspect in court

Jutta Haberman was among the well-dressed guests who turned out on Sunday for the second annual Thank You For Caring — A Christmas Tea Fundraiser in support of the Langley Christmas Bureau. Co-chaired by Mari-lyn Morgan, daughter of Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese, and Jean Schaffer, wife of City of Langley act-ing Mayor Ted Schaffer, the event, held at the Coast Hotel, featured live music, tea and dessert. The 480 guests bid on more than 100 silent auction items, and organizers exceeded their goal of raising $20,000 in support of the Christmas Bureau, raising $21,000.

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

The 23-year-old man charged in the second degree murder of a pas-tor’s son is expected to be back in court today (Tuesday).

Jesse River Hill, 23, of Surrey is scheduled to appear in Surrey Pro-vincial Court for a bail hearing.

He was arrested Oct. 2 for the murder of 21-year-old Taylor John-son of Delta.

Hill also faces charges of break and enter with intent, disguise with intent and discharge of a fi re-arm with intent.

Johnson  was found shot to death on Feb. 26 in a 200 Street home in Fernridge, which contained a grow-op. Johnson was the caretaker of the grow-op and Integrated Homicide In-vestigation Team (IHIT) is saying the motive for the murder is a grow rip.

“The accused and Taylor did not know each other,” said IHIT’s Sgt. Jennifer Pound at the time of the arrest. “This was a senseless act.”

Taylor’s parents Paul and Wendi spoke to the media about their son

at a press conference held Oct. 3.“It’s a horrifi c experience losing

a child, but when you throw in the word murder it brings in terror,” said Paul, a pastor at South Delta Baptist Church.

Pound said Johnson was a “good kid.

“He was naive and made a bad decision that cost him his life,” said Pound.

He was found dead in the home, in the 2000 block of 200 Street, after Langley RCMP received a call ask-ing them to check on the wellbeing of a man staying at the residence. When they attended, they found him dead, and also found a mari-juana grow-op on the property.

Taylor’s parents said they had questioned him about some of the new friends he had been around.

“He was very trusting and had a lot of compassion for others,” said Paul.

Hill doesn’t have an extensive criminal background.

In May 2012, Hill was charged with robbery. He also was found guilty of breaching conditions in 2010.

Warehouse employee accused of theftMONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

A 23-year-old Port Coquitlam man work-ing at the Best Buy warehouse in Langley is accused of stealing iPads, iPhones and computers from his workplace and selling them on Craigslist.

On Nov. 8, Langley RCMP were called by a loss prevention offi cer at the Best Buy warehouse to report an internal theft of tens of thousands of dollars worth of iPhones, iPads and computers, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

Police arrested the suspect for theft while he was at Best Buy.

Langley RCMP’s street enforcement unit (responsible for property crime) took over the investigation. They collected informa-tion leading to a search warrant of a home in Port Coquitlam. 

Investigators allege the electronics were being sold on Craigslist. More than $12,000

cash was seized during the search.  An additional $23,000 worth of iPads,

iPhones and computers were located and seized in the residence.

Offi cers will continue the investigation and review evidence in an effort to deter-mine who purchased the stolen products, said Marks. 

It’s believed the thefts had been taking place over the last month and was discov-ered as a result of the vigilant efforts of the loss prevention offi cer from Best Buy.

The suspect was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in Surrey Pro-vincial Court on Jan. 31, 2014. 

Langley RCMP are offering consumers some tips to protect themselves when buy-ing cellphones privately and secondhand.

If you plan to purchase a second hand phone, ask for the IMEI (International Mo-bile Equipment Identity) number before you take possession of the phone.  

To help protect Canadians when pur-chasing a wireless device from a private source, the ProtectYourData.ca website now features a convenient tool that allows Canadian consumers to simply enter the IMEI number of a wireless device to fi nd out immediately if that device has been blacklisted in Canada.

If the IMEI number has been blacklist-ed, that device will not be able to be used on any participating Canadian network. The consumer look-up feature, the fi rst of its kind in the world which utilizes the GSMA IMEI Database, will include black-listed devices that have been reported as lost or stolen as of Sept. 30, 2013 and be-yond.

Then, simply go to www.protectyourda-ta.ca and enter the IMEI into the query fi eld.  If the phone has been blacklisted, it cannot be activated on any Canadian wireless provider, which then renders

the phone useless. The blacklist will also include devices reported lost or stolen by U.S. carriers. 

 If a phone is lost or stolen, report it to police and the wireless provider who will add it to the blacklist database. 

ProtectYourData.ca is also a hub of in-formation where visitors can fi nd nu-merous resources about the critical im-portance of protecting the data on their smartphones, as well as how to help pro-tect themselves from becoming a victim of device theft.

It is imperative that customers contact their service provider to immediately re-port a lost or stolen phone to have their de-vice deactivated. It is only when the device has been reported that the service provid-er can then add the device to the blacklist. All instances of personal theft should, of course, be reported to local law enforce-ment as well.

“I feel that justice has been served.”

From the trial’s outset, Theri-ault did not deny that he had driven his westbound truck — which was towing a pup trailer — into the eastbound lane of 16 Avenue over a double-yellow line on the morning in ques-tion.

The fatal maneuver, which began in the intersection at 200 Street, was an effort to pass two other westbound vehicles, said Dohm, recounting evidence heard over the course of the tri-al.

When Theriault spotted Neiss’s SUV, he braked and steered to the south side of the road. Neiss steered in the same direction, and the two hit head-on.

The impact of Theriault’s truck killed Neiss – who was on his way to work as a bus driv-er for Langley School District at the time – instantly and pushed his SUV 23 metres, Dohm said.

At trial, Dohm heard from fi ve witnesses who described seeing a dump truck being driven ag-gressively along 16 Avenue for several kilometres prior to the collision, which occurred just after 5:30 a.m. While a number of them testifi ed they were sure it was the same truck that hit Neiss’s – and “they are probably correct” – Dohm said he could not make that fi nding conclu-sively.

“It is not logically possible to link their evidence together in some cohesive fashion,” he said. “I’m not able to fi nd to the criminal standards of truth that this was the same dump truck throughout.”

In fi nding Theriault guilty, Dohm said he relied on evi-dence regarding the accused’s driving as seen from just east of 200 Street to the point of im-pact.

In reaching his verdict, he said he also did not consider “utter-ances” that Theriault had made to police in the hours immedi-ately following the crash.

The court had heard that Theriault told a Langley RCMP offi cer that his decision to cross the double-yellow line that morning was a “bad, three-sec-ond mistake,” and that he had believed at the time the road ahead was clear.

Following a voir dire to de-termine if Theriault’s charter rights had been violated, Dohm had ruled the statements were admissible.

In explaining his reasoning for ultimately giving them no weight, Dohm noted video and factual evidence regarding the scene make it “very diffi cult to understand how the accused could’ve believed it was clear to pass.”

“He only had a few seconds, at most, in darkness, to check whether it was clear.”

Streetlights depicted in video taken of the roadway looking west look like two sets of head-lights, Dohm said.

“I have decided this case without any regard to utter-ances found admissible in voir dire,” he said.

Evidence Dohm found rel-evant included that the type of vehicle Theriault was driv-ing would be more diffi cult to maneuver, take longer to stop and cause more damage in the event of a crash; that the driv-ing behaviour occurred at a

time when commuter and com-mercial traffi c was starting to increase along 16 Avenue; that Theriault’s speed was likely upwards of 75 km/h when he spotted Ness; and that Theri-ault chose to ignore the risks associated with crossing a dou-ble-yellow line.

“Those lines indicate to a driv-er that passing is not permissi-ble… not safe, even though that might not be readily apparent,” Dohm said.

“A reasonably prudent driver would never have attempted to pass.”

Prosecutor Winston Sayson said the verdict was a “well-rea-soned decision that confi rms the Crown’s submission that the driving of the accused was exceedingly dangerous.”

Michie – who attended court with her sister Maureen Beales and Halimah Simon, one of Neiss’s Langley School Dis-trict co-workers – said Dohm’s points covered “everything we felt.”

She described her husband as “a colourful, opinionated per-son” who made her laugh every day of the 20 years they were together.

“He’d be really pleased today,” she said.

Simon said the verdict renews her faith in the justice system.

“I’ll sleep good tonight,” she said, adding Neiss’s co-workers are “satisfi ed” with the trial’s outcome.

Theriault did not speak to Black Press. However, a wom-an who identifi ed herself as his wife, agreed the situation has been diffi cult for all involved.

“Everybody’s fractured,” she said.

Sentencing is set for Feb. 14.

Smith said the golf course, which is owned by the Township of Langley, was raised as an option during the meetings he and his neighbours had with the land agent.

The company has also recently told them by email that an op-tional route is under consideration, Smith said.

Current plans would see the new line run through the fl ood plain near the Salmon Riv-er, where the 31-acre Smith family farm and several others are lo-cated.

Kinder Morgan wants to expand the capacity of the Trans Mountain Pipeline system that ships Alberta crude to the company’s Bur-rard Inlet oil terminal by building a second, larger line that would run beside the existing pipe most of the way,

but diverting from the existing line where it runs through built-up residential areas in Walnut Grove.

Smith and his neigh-bours oppose the route through their farms, arguing the potential environmental dam-age from an oil spill would be catastrophic.

He calls the golf course a more logi-cal choice, because it would move the line away from the fl ats.

“That’s a better direc-tion, in my opinion,” Smith said.

He said he remains opposed to the pipe-line because he doesn’t believe it benefi ts the B.C. economy enough to justify the disrup-tion.

The company is ex-pected to fi le a formal proposal for the route by Dec. 16.

Today (Tuesday, Nov. 19), Greg Toth, senior director of Kinder

Morgan, will present a progress report on the pipeline project to the Greater Langley Cham-ber of Commerce at the Cascades Conven-tion Centre.

Cost for chamber members is $35 and for non-members $50.

The dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. and the presentation will take place afterwards.

A banner behind the stage at Langley Events Centre said it all — “We won. It’s Christmas every day.”

This was the setting for Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman’s annual fundraising dinner, which raises money for BC Liberal campaigns across the province. In the last election, money from the event helped fund 30 campaigns.

Coleman, who was provincial campaign manager, was in a jovial mood Wednesday as he spoke to the several hundred in attendance. He reminded them that, one year earlier, he had said “Adrian Dix will be the most unhappy man in B.C. on May 15, 2013.”

Many, including many BC Lib-eral insiders and even his own brother, doubted his optimism. They were wrong.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond, who introduced Coleman, said “Rich is a believer. There were a lot of doubters. He never was.”

While Coleman is clearly in a happy frame of mind, he is also concentrating on his job as minister of liquefi ed natural gas (LNG) development. He gave his dinner guests a very clear idea of what he has been doing and

how the prospects for LNG de-velopment shape up.

He said his objective is to get investors to see that B.C. is the best option for their invest-ment, as there are many possi-ble sources of gas for the hun-gry Asian market.

He said B.C.’s strengths are the north coast ports of Kitimat and Prince Rupert, which are 58 hours closer by ship to Asian markets than any other North American ports. Consistently cool weather there also helps, as it reduces the cost of lique-fying gas by taking its tempera-ture down to -160 Celsius. The gas compresses as a liquid and large quantities can be shipped on specially designed tanker ships.

Another of B.C.’s strengths is economic and political stability. Coleman is saying to potential investors that the B.C. govern-ment will work with them to design a fair tax regime that gives the province a fair return in taxation while giving them a return in investment that satis-fi es their shareholders.

The province will put these terms in legislation so that in-vestments will be protected.

“I don’t think that govern-ment automatically is right (in determining tax rates) without sitting down and talking to pro-

ponents. Our objective is to fi nd a ‘sweet spot’ that everyone is satisfi ed with.

“I believe our investment cli-mate will get us the win.”

He has been criss-crossing the globe, meeting with companies interested in the LNG business. A number have already com-mitted substantial funds to development work, including $500 million by Chevron and its partners in Kitimat. Shell is pre-pared to spend up to $1 billion to prepare the former Methanex site in Kitimat. Petronas, owned by the Malaysian government, is ready to invest a substantial amount in Prince Rupert, as is a British fi rm. Nexen, owned by CNOOC, a Chinese government entity, has agreed to buy prop-erty at Grassy Point north of Prince Rupert for a plant site.

Coleman said that he expects as many as fi ve plants to be built on the north coast, with three smaller plants on old in-dustrial sites on the south coast and Vancouver Island. Together, they could create up to 100,000 jobs.

Companies need to get to the point where they make a “fi nal investment decision,” and he is meeting with them regularly to answer questions and promote B.C.’s investment climate.

The man charged in the New Year’s Eve murder in a Willoughby basement suite has been ordered to stand trial in Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Jason Brewer, 24, was in court on Nov. 4, when the decision was to go ahead with a trial. He current-ly is charged with the second-de-gree murder of “his friend” Cole Manning, 40. Manning was shot to death in a Willoughby basement suite in the early morning of New Year’s Eve.

Brewer is accused of leading po-lice on a short pursuit and his vehi-

cle was rammed by police in Alder-grove, leading to his arrest. His next court appearance on that matter is Dec. 5. A trial date hasn’t been set.

In the meantime, Brewer pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal neg-ligence causing bodily harm during the start of a separate trial in Su-preme Court on Oct. 28.

Brewer swerved into oncoming traffi c at a high rate of speed on Highway 10 in November 2009, caus-ing a horrifi c crash that resulted in life-long injuries for two victims in-side a GMC SUV he struck head-on.

In that case, he has a sentencing hearing scheduled for March 20, 2014.

Murder trial to proceed

From Page 6The fi nal amounts of capital spending could

reach $100 billion, he said.If the plants go ahead, they will be built to the

highest environmental standards, but even more important, he said, is that they will contribute to a lowering of emissions worldwide, by allow-ing natural gas to replace coal in Chinese power plants.

“China needs to fi x its air to fi x global air,” he said.

There will also be substantial investment and job prospects for First Nations people in both the northeast and northwest, he added.

If it all comes to fruition, and he said much more work remains to be done, B.C. will be able to pay its accumulated debt off within 15 years, and set up a prosperity fund that will help fund public projects long into the future. He said this will mean B.C. will be a better place for coming generations, with better funding for health and education and more job opportunities.

Investment could be $100 billion

Should Kinder Morgan build a new oil pipeline through farmland near the Salmon River?

Do you agree with Coghlan school’s decision to keep Kindergarten students from touching each other??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

The massive cuts to BC Ferries routes, to take effect in April, would likely be a little bit easier to swallow if the BC Ferries board had done the right thing and cut the exorbitant wages and bonuses given to senior manage-

ment.As it is, the board instituted a two-year wage freeze and

rolled the bonuses into the regular salaries paid to exec-utives. A small portion will be held back, to be earned if performance targets are met.

This is such an obvious shell game that even the most naive observer can see through it. These top people will continue to get the same high salaries they get today.

BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan makes $563,000. His coun-terpart on the similar-sized Washington state ferry sys-tem makes $166,000.

BC Ferries is going through a massive exercise to save about $19 million. There is no question there is a need to reduce some services on lightly-travelled routes. And de-spite the whining by some people, asking seniors aged 65 and over to pay 50 per cent of the passenger fare Mon-days through Thursdays is not a major imposition. Most seniors who live in coastal communities have enough dis-posable income to make the occasional ferry trip, and they will still be getting a substantial discount over every other traveller.

But had the BC Ferries board really grasped the nettle and made some substantial cuts to the wages of its top manag-ers, a signifi cant amount of money would be saved (it would amount to millions) without a single route being cut.

The real challenge that the provincial government fac-es is rooting out the members of the boards who run its Crown corporations, and in the case of BC Ferries, a pri-vate corporation owned 100 per cent by the province.

It needs board members ready to challenge the CEOs and top managers they are supposed to be keeping watch on. It needs board members who do not blindly accept the status quo, and will look out for taxpayers and consumers. Then the public will be much better served.

The ins and outs of the BC NDP’s 2013 pro-vincial election defeat would bore all but the most hardcore supporter. But there is one good reason to at least acknowledge that the

exercise in self-fl agellation had to be done, even if you’re not inclined to actually read the party’s 20-page election review released Nov. 8.

The reason is this: There is no other game in town. Sorry, Conservatives and Greens, the New Democrats have the history, the base and the infrastructure so until something better comes along, they are the province’s best chance at keeping the BC Liberals honest.

Right now, the next election isn’t a big concern and the NDP can lick their wounds all they want. Premier Christy Clark is still in the honeymoon phase of her term (accord-ing to a recent Angus Reid poll, she’s the second highest rated premier in the country). She may even have some-thing going for her, having learned some tough lessons from her predecessor, and she’s cleaning house.

True, Clark hasn’t been tested much in the legislature but we know what to expect when she fi nally walks through the door. She’ll defend to the teeth her government’s Core Review of Everything including the Agricultural Land Re-view, the budget, the throne speech and anything else that’s thrown her way.

But one day, even Clark’s government will seem dated. A party too long in power rarely escapes folly, arrogance and scandal (and you can be excused for thinking the BC Liberals had reached that stage before the May election).

When that day comes, as it will, B.C. will need a thick-skinned leader, sharp of retort and without stain to be in fi ghting mode. The NDP review holds out some hope that this will be the case.

Is the party’s review too much “whine” and not enough cheese? Yes, it lacks punch and has a sour smell. But if it puts teeth back in the tiger keeping a hungry eye on our leaders, that will be a good thing.

— Tri-City News

Coleman getting things done“It’s Christmas every day,” says

Rich Coleman, refl ecting on how he feels as a key player in a re-elected government, one which was given a strong mandate by voters in May.

And if his hard work pays off, San-ta Claus will be paying more visits to B.C. homes than he has for quite some time. Coleman, the minister responsible for Liquefi ed Natural Gas (LNG) development, has been criss-crossing the globe selling B.C. as the most logical place to supply natural gas to hungry Asian markets. And he is getting a substantial amount of in-terest.

I’ve known Coleman long enough to know that he isn’t like most politicians, who will willingly promise the moon to get elected and conveniently forget most of those promises afterwards.

He is in politics to get things done. That’s been his track record in the community — it was his involvement that was key in the Langley Events Centre being built. It’s also been his track record in numerous cabinet positions, from solicitor-general to forests to energy and mines, and over all that time, as the minister of housing.

Without him, Langley would not have a homeless shelter that is actually making a difference. Nor would many rundown hotels in Vancouver’s downtown eastside be placed under government ownership, renovated and now doing more to pro-vide decent low-cost housing than they used to.

He was the point man behind the Lib-erals’ surprising (but not to him) victory in May. He was key in raising funds, was campaign manager and was a true believ-er from the moment Christy Clark became premier. And he said so consistently, with even some members of his own family doubting him.

Clark rewarded him by making him

deputy premier and the key gov-ernment player in bringing the promise of LNG to fruition. And it’s closer to reality than ever, although some signifi cant hurdles remain.

Coleman told his annual fund-raising dinner Wednesday that the players who are interested in build-ing LNG plants on B.C.’s north coast have to get to the point where they make a “fi nal investment decision.”

In the interim, they are spending billions in planning and, in some

cases, site preparation. Those doing the spending include Chevron and its part-ners, Shell and Petronas, owned by the Ma-laysian government.

He optimistically hopes for fi ve large plants on the north coast, and another three smaller plants on old industrial sites in southern B.C. The total investment in the large plants would be $9 to $11 billion per plant, and if it all comes to fruition, there could be 100,000 jobs created.

In addition to all the extra tax revenue from those jobs, there would be gas roy-alties, a fair return to both government and the proponent from the plants, and even improved carbon emissions world-wide. Major contracts with Chinese com-panies could lead to less reliance on coal-fi red electric power plants in that country. Those plants are far and away the worst carbon emitters on the planet.

If the LNG plants come to fruition, or even if only some plants are built, B.C. could be in line to completely retire its long-term debt and start building a prosperity fund like Alberta’s heritage fi nd.

With people like Coleman in charge, that fund would not be raided spuriously, as has happened too often in Alberta, and there will indeed be a bright future for the coming generations in B.C.

No wonder he feels like Santa Claus ev-ery day.

A platform for change

Editor: In August, following one of the Township council decisions to develop housing on agricultur-al land, a Vancouver newspaper mentioned a previ-ously unheard of political group called Live Langley.

The editor of The Times responded and provid-ed an excellent review of slate politics in Langley (The Times, Aug. 13). At its core, a slate is a group of representatives who agree to vote together on the same issues. In our opinion, a quick review of voting patterns over the past years reveals, espe-cially on controversial matters, an existing slate on Township council.

A political party, on the other hand, is a group of representatives who espouse a common ideology or vision. They may disagree on particulars. As a new municipal party, we at the Live Langley Elec-torate Association strive to be an inclusive and transparent civic organization committed to a sus-tainable, livable, and prosperous Township of Lang-ley.

In so doing, we are committed to progressive val-ues with the purpose of reinforcing the Township as a desired community in the Metro Vancouver area. As a progressive group and in opposition to slate politics, we value and encourage independent thought and believe that disparate views and opin-ions are essential in a democracy and lend to more creative decision making.

To learn more about our party, we encourage ev-eryone to visit our website at http://www.livelang-ley.ca/ and our Facebook page at https://www.face-book.com/VoteLiveLangley.

Some have attempted to brand us as a NIMBY group, or have voiced concerns that we are against development. Let us unequivocally state that noth-ing could be further from the truth, for without development, many of us would not be living here today.

We believe development brings prosperity to a community, but that it must be properly managed to fi t within existing community guidelines and values, both great and small. We strongly believe that development must meld with the key princi-ples of smart growth, sustainability and livability, and not occur on an ad hoc basis. Simply put, de-velopment must benefi t the very people who live and breathe in Langley.

We hope the electorate of the Township of Lang-ley can clearly see that we are not a slate, but a platform for change. More importantly, we hope the electorate takes this opportunity to make themselves aware of the issues surrounding our community over this next year, and come prepared to vote in our next municipal election in November 2014.

CLINT LEE, PRESIDENT,LIVE LANGLEY ELECTORATE ASSOCIATION

Should we burn our ‘Guys?’

Bravery and sacrifices applauded

Stranger’s kindness ‘made her day’

Editor: Recent political events in Canada remind one of Guy Fawkes Day.

“Remember, remember, the fi fth of November/ That is the reason the gunpowder season/ Should never be for-got,” says the nursery rhyme. “Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, ’twas his intent/ To blow up the King and the Parliament.”

The botched event happened on Nov. 5, 1605. The con-spirators, caught in the act, suffered the dreadful fate of being hanged, drawn and quartered. As far as I know, Nov. 5 is still celebrated in England with a scarecrow effi gy of Guy Fawkes placed on a stake and burned on a bonfi re, whole children dance around and fi reworks are let off.

We have our own version of Guys to be burned, wheth-er they deserve it or not. Short of wars and other distrac-tions, the press, in attacks possibly instigated by ambi-tious, behind-the-scenes third parties, single them out for our attention. Senator Mike Duffy is accused of grossly padding his expenses, and Mayor Rob Ford of Toronto is in the news daily.

Physically, they look alike. They remind me of Lewis Carroll’s characters in his book Through the Looking Glass: Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

On Nov. 5, 2013, Ford fi nally admitted doing a stupid thing — using crack cocaine. Self-righteous voices are raised, calling for his resignation. I wonder why?

Who is waiting in the wings to step into his place? I hear many people feel he has done good things for Toronto.

I recall the story in the Bible about the woman caught in adultery. People were standing around ready to stone her to death, but Jesus challenged them with the words, “Let he who is without sin cast the fi rst stone.” The crowd melted away.

As for Duffy, shall we bring down the prime minister for apparent involvement in trying to smooth this matter away?

Nobody is perfect. We are human beings, inmates of planet Earth. I doubt anyone can honestly stand up and say they’ve never done a foolish thing, something they would feel ashamed to admit.

Is the person unregenerate, still doing stupid things? Or is the person aware of the error of his ways and honestly willing to make up the damage he may have done?

I quote from William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar: “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is often in-terred with their bones.”

In life, when judging others, we need to weigh the good and the bad. Only then should we decide whether to burn the bad guy.

GLORIA HANCOCK,LANGLEY

Editor: I just want to say how much I enjoyed reading about the life of Bob Crerar (The Times, Nov. 12).

I would like to say thank you to Mr. Crerar and those like him, who served with so much self-sacrifi ce and bravery. Those of us today who live free owe a great debt to the

men and women who served and continue to serve. We will never forget.

DAVE JONES,LANGLEY

Editor: I recently had knee surgery, and I am getting about on crutches. My teenage son drove me to Lee’s Mar-ket in Fort Langley. As we went in, I commented to my children how beautiful some tulips were.

We continued with our shopping, and when I went to pay, the cashier handed me a beautifully-wrapped bunch of tulips. She told me a lady had heard my comment and

had bought the tulips for me.I was blown away by this stranger’s kindness. She made

my day and taught my children that there are some won-derful people all around us.

When I have recovered, I will pay it forward.LOUISE MOTT,

Grand piano provides unique shoppingEditor: We had quite a different experience recently, in

terms of retail shopping in Langley.We went to The Wickertree, located on Langley Bypass,

on Sunday, Nov. 10, looking for some indoor furtniture items.

To our surprise and delight, there was this massive grand piano in the middle of the showroom. They call it “Centre Court.”

A young girl was playing the piano, magnifi cently. Ap-parently, The Wickertree has local student pianists play-ing every Saturday and Sunday through the winter, all the way until spring.

What a fabulous concept.We later found out that the girl who was playing was

only 12 and was part of a sister act.There are about six or eight pianists who will be rotating

in playing the piano through the winter.We would love to spread the word of our experience, so

more folks can go and enjoy. Take it in and support local artists. The ambiance created by this live piano was spe-cial.

And yes, we did get our furniture.PAULINE AND PHIL LEFEBURE,

The Christmas sea-son is upon us and that means the Salva-tion Army is looking for hundreds of vol-unteers to help with Christmas kettles.

Volunteers took to ringing bells and man-ning kettles on Thurs-day in Langley.

But the Salvation Army is hoping to gather more volun-teers to man their 26 locations around Langley.

“We need 500 vol-unteers and we are at about 12 per cent, which is the norm for this time of the year,” said Gateway of Hope’s Troy Gaglardi.

“Our goal is to raise $150,000 which will go directly to services and programs at the Gateway of Hope, which include our extreme weather re-sponse shelter and our transitional housing, life skills programs.”

Gaglardi said even if someone can spare two hours, that is fi ne, too. It can be groups, employees at a com-pany or families.

This year he is hoping to fi nd some groups that are will-ing to sing Christmas carols.

Certain locations can

accommodate dogs. They encourage par-ents or grandparents to bring children to take in the experience.

They have locations in Aldergrove, Willow-brook, Walnut Grove, Fort Langley and Lang-ley City so people don’t have to travel far from home.

“It feels good to be part of it,” said Gaglar-di.

The Salvation Army Christmas kettles is a standing tradition all people look forward to,

he said.“I have had many

people tell me it re-minds them of the season, hearing those bells and seeing the kettle and the person there spending their time for others re-minds all of us to slow down.

“It reminds us of family and friends and the goodness of Christ-mas,” said Gaglardi.

While statistically in Langley, homeless numbers are striking-ly on the rise, Gaglardi

sees another angle.“I get to see both

sides of it. We have seen some tremen-dous stories of moving forward from home-lessness and addici-ton to a better life,” he said. “We are seeing people getting work, fi nding housing, being united with family.

“I’m encouraged about that.”

If you would like to volunteer at a kettle you can call 604-514-7375 or email [email protected].

This is Sarah Mantha’s (standing) fi rst time volunteering with the Salvation Army’s annual Christmas Kettle campaign. Brenda Pitts (seated), meanwhile, has been vol-unteering for three years. Pitts said she always fi nds people are most generous.

Administrator Marie Fraser stands with students at Ecole des Voyageurs who raised funds for Philippine typhoon victims.

Contributed photo

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

Ecole des Voyageurs in Walnut Grove has found a sweet way to help out those in desperate need in the Philippines.

On Wednesday, at lunch hour, the students were selling home-made sucre a la créme, a very popular and delicious Quebec/French treat similar to fudge.

The small school with lots of heart raised $138 from the sale, which the federal government will match.

“Our school wanted to do something to help the people in the Philippines and we’ve come up with a creative idea to raise money for them,” said adminis-trator Marie Fraser.

She made two big batches of it and sold it all.

The government of Canada matches dollar-for-dollar all monies raised. The B.C. government announced it will also match money raised up to $300,000.

“Even though we’re a tiny school by “modern day” standards, we still feel that we can help make a difference. We think that every little bit helps.”

Students find way to help

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

This year’s Langley Animal Protection Society’s gala is where furry tail endings did happen.

Around 425 guests attend-ed the sixth annual fundraiser held at Coast Hotel and Conven-tion Centre on Saturday, Nov. 2. One dinner for 10 with Global

TV’s Steve Darling was donated to the auction by Well Seasoned owner Angie Quaale and was sold and resold for $10,000.

More than $85,000 was raised, which means 436 furry tail end-ings were funded, said animal shelter manager Sean Baker.

The night also saw animal hero Shelly Roche honoured as volunteer of the year, for her ef-

forts to foster kittens and bring awareness of LAPS to the world through letting their furry an-tics to be watched on a webcam 24/7.

Her Tiny Kittens web cam has seen more than one million hits from around the world. It has seen donations to LAPS come from as far as Japan and as near as California.

What happens when you reach that Promised Land of retirement and the promises haven’t come true? Maybe the planned funds aren’t there, may-be the days aren’t quite as full and fun as you had expected. What happens when you are a few years away from retirement but the passion and chal-lenge of a career you’ve had for years are gone. What are your options?

A new survey reveals the fi nancial impact the recent has had on the Baby Boomer generation. Forty-seven per-cent of working adults surveyed said they now expect to retire later than they previously thought, with an aver-age retirement age of 66. This fi gure was nearly three years later than the respondents’ reported estimate when they were 40.

The poll, conducted by the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, sur-veyed 1,024 people aged 50 and old-er nationwide. Those surveyed were asked questions about their employ-ment status, fi nancial situation, and plans for retirement.

Overall, men were more likely than women to postpone their retirement plans. Minorities, parents of depen-dent children, those without health insurance, and those with an annual income of less than $50,000 were also more likely to delay their plans.

Among those surveyed who had al-ready retired, 4 percent said they were looking for a job and 11 percent are already working again. Among em-ployed respondents, 82 percent said

they were likely to seek at least part-time employment for extra income during retirement

Kwantlen Polytechnic University may have the answer to these ques-tions and many others facing the Baby Boomer generation that just seems to want to keep on working.

Kwantlen offers a variety of Adult learner programs through their Facul-ty of Academic and Career Advance-ment (ACA). A popular program of-fered is the Career Choices and Life

Success program.This program supports men and

women who want to re-enter the work force or make a career change to reach their career and life direction in this program. They learn to set at-tainable career and life goals assisted by vocational assessments, informa-tion research, networking and hands-on work experience. They fi nish the program with a solid career direction supported by a targeted resume, cover letter and solid interview experience.

Elly Morgan, M.A., A.B.S., has man-aged this program at Kwantlen since 1993. “The program started in 1980 and has proven to be very popular now that we see so many people wanting to continue to work rather than retire. Many people fi nd that they have re-tired too early and boredom sets in or in many cases, they fi nd they need to supplement their retirement income.”

“Most often though, women want to fi nd meaningful work, something which refl ects themselves after hav-

SENIORS: SUITES ARE FILLING UP FAST

Prospective retirees encourageding spent many years giving to oth-ers. We also have women who are immigrants with a high level of edu-cation and simply need an opportu-nity to gain relevant Canadian work experience. On the other end of the spectrum, the CCLS program also at-tracts young women with children in school who want to be proactive and prepare themselves to the work force. Younger women just graduating from high school are starting to attend the program, because through word of mouth they have learned how rele-vant the CCLS program is to ensuring they take the fi rst right step in their career direction. “

While the CCLS Program offered at Langley is designed for women, Kwantlen offers the same program for men and women at their Surrey Campus. Similar to the Langley cam-pus, the age range includes graduates from high school to retired men and women who want to continue using their skills.

“CCLS answers: ‘Where do I start, how do I connect with people in the ever-changing workforce?’ Elly explains, “Our courses are built on each other to support the right ca-reer fi t for each student. We start by

conducting career assessments to determine their interests, skills and experience and match those traits and skills with people who are doing similar rewarding work.” Simultane-ously, the students are supported in their network efforts to talk to people in the business community doing the kind of work they would like to do.”

This also provides an excellent op-portunity for employers who are anticipating a skills shortage over the next ten years. The experience, knowledge, decision-making skills, and professional networks that Baby Boomer executives bring to the table can be invaluable to companies. Al-though many Baby Boomers want to continue working, it does not mean that they want to continue in their current positions. Most executives, even lower level, will take a call from a recruiter concerning a new oppor-tunity. Those Baby Boomers who do not have to work, and could choose to retire, will look for more fl exibility and better work/life balance. Compa-nies that are willing to provide more fl exibility with schedule or location should be well-positioned to attract the top talent.

We also provide pub-lic speaking training as many people may not have had direct dealings with the public previously.” “We don’t teach self-confi dence per se, be-cause the program’s belief states that an individual’s self-confi dence builds as she or he connects with the community and ex-periences a successful job placement to mention two examples and in so doing confi rms they have relevant skills and experi-ences to bring to the work world.

Retirement counselors explain that many people get trapped into think-ing they have to buy the boat or the motor home, only to fi nd that fi shing and travelling are not all that exciting after all. They encourage prospective retirees to fi nd out what their person-al interests are before they retire and plan to pursue that when their career is fi nished.

Elly agrees. “Our program is designed to help people determine what gets

them excited and encourage them to chase after those dreams they may have hidden for many years.”

The course is offered in a sixteen week semester, three days a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from

9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. “We recognize that it can take three months to change a pattern in a person’s life,” explains Elly,” and we give them this opportu-nity to practice their new behavior in a supportive classroom setting.”

Langley Community Music School is celebrating Canadian Music Week with a  weekend of Canadian music concerts on Nov. 23 and 24. 

Beginning with a student recital and workshop on Saturday Nov. 23 at 2 p.m., the celebration continues with Britten Birthday Bash and a Bit of Bali at 7:30 p.m., a special bonus concert featuring artists Joel Stobbe, cello, Ariel Barnes, cello, Reilley West, viola, and Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann, piano.

The festivities conclude with the Concerts Café Classico season opener featuring  Standing Wave,  Vancouver’s cutting edge chamber ensemble on Nov. 24.

Coffee and commentary are hosted before the concert with the school’s artistic director of concerts Elizabeth Bergmann at 3 p.m., followed by the performance at 4 p.m.  

The Saturday afternoon student re-cital and workshop features student performances of works by an array of Canadian composers.  

It notably includes the premiere per-formance of new work by LCMS alum-nus Justin Christiansen for piano trio, commissioned by LCMS for this occa-

sion.  Christensen — the 2010 recipient

of the prestigious Jules Leger Canada Council composition prize — will also serve as guest adju-dicator for the work-shop. 

Later Saturday evening, the bo-nus concert    boasts a number of inter-esting connections between Canada, Bali and the two fea-tured composers, Benjamin Britten and Colin McPhee.

“The audience will hear a couple of McPhee’s two pi-ano transcriptions along with some of Britten’s fi nest pieces for solo cello, cel-lo and piano, viola and piano and two pianos,” said Elizabeth Bergmann.

Admission to the Saturday bonus concert is by donation at the door.

On Sunday Nov. 24, LCMS launch-es    the Concerts Café Classico Sea-son with  Standing Wave, a Vancouver based ensemble dedicated to commis-

sioning and performing works by com-posers from Canada and abroad.

“Standing Wave is a stellar ensemble noted for making cutting edge music

accessible to the audience.  

“And, continu-ing our alumni connection, we are very pleased and proud that they will be per-forming  Critical Distance,  another of Justin Chris-tiansen’s compo-sitions, in concert this weekend,” said Bergmann.

“I am also excited to have Justin joining me and my hus-band Marcel [Bergmann] in a discussion about his music and Canadian music in general during the chat preceding the concert on Sunday afternoon.”

Tickets to the Standing Wave concert are available for $15 adults, $13 seniors and $10 students.

Call the LCMS box offi ce for tickets at 604-534-2848.

Standing Wave, a cutting edge chamber ensemble out of Vancouver, is among the performers who will take the stage at Langley Community Music School on Nov. 23 and 24, as part of Canadian Music Week celebrations.

Pam was always the perfect hostess — until the night there were more fl oral arrangements than suitable vases, the divorcee didn’t want her can-apé and the guests formed charade teams and began to have cheap, competitive fun.

But that’s what happens when you have Cock-tails at Pam’s.

Being the perfect hostess is not easy; it’s a fi ne art of pearls and gowns, repartee and knowing the difference between the maid and the cook. But Pam believes she has everything under con-trol — until the unthinkable happens.

Will she hold it together? Will her brother successfully pick up the cute,

young actress? Will her best friends, Sara and Virgil, actually

make it through the night without a full make-out session in the middle of the party?

You’ll need to see it to fi nd out. Featuring Langley’s Joanna Williams, Cocktails

at Pam’s is a comedy about a real-time cocktail party gone horribly wrong.

Written by Edmonton playwright Stewart Lem-oine, it is directed by Stephen Heatley and boasts some of the Vancouver area’s fi nest theatrical tal-ent.

The Staircase Equity Collective presentation runs until Nov. 30 at Studio 1398, 1398 Cartwright St. on Granville Island.

Tickets: $20/$15.Box Offi ce: cocktailsatpams.bpt.me There will be a PWYC (pay what you can) mati-

nee on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 2 p.m. Shows run Tuesday to Saturday at 8 p.m.

We were a little apprehensive about putting our daughter in a new preschool this fall.

Of course, it didn’t help that our greatest fear came true.

Standing outside the porta-ble with the rest of the parents and students who were laugh-ing and reminiscing about their summer vacations, I realized Molly was likely the only new kid in class.

When my pint-size scholar is nervous, she has a tendency to twirl her curly hair.

On this particular day her lit-tle fi ngers were spinning furi-ously.

“What if I don’t make any friends?” she softly whispered, while eyeing up her new class-mates.

Some stared, others smiled, but there was a particular lit-tle girl who left an impression — one that left my stomach in knots.

“Eww, I hate that girl!” she said, pointing a little index fi n-ger in our direction.

I looked left. I looked right. I even looked behind me.

After doing a full 360-spin, I realized the comment was directed to my four-year-old daughter.

“Shh,” said her mother, who ushered her quickly into the classroom without making eye contact with either of us.

Fortunately for Molly, she didn’t appear to have heard the young girl — I certainly wasn’t about to bring it to her atten-tion.

Even though it was just the fi rst day of school and she would only be there for just over an hour, I had a tough time saying goodbye that day.

While Molly didn’t ap-pear to have any sepa-ration anxiety, I found myself fi ghting the urge to take her home and never look back.

But there was that lit-tle voice inside me say-ing, ‘Just let her go.’

I listened — begrudg-ingly. And let me tell you, it wasn’t easy.

On my way home, my mind raced thinking about what Molly could have done to have caused the ill feelings from her peer.

Was it the way she was dressed? Was she getting too much attention from her new teachers? Was it because she’s so small for her age and shy?

It didn’t take long for the con-fusion to turn into anger. Mama bear was unleashed.

“That’s it. I knew this was a mistake — we’re enrolling her back into her old preschool,” I said to my husband, who was equally distraught.

Despite the fact that it would mean an extra 80 minutes of driving, instead of conveniently walking across the street to her new school, it seemed like the only solution.

At pickup, I was the fi rst mom in line — I couldn’t wait to bring my baby bear back to her den.

“How was your fi rst day?” I asked on our walk home, ner-vous to hear her response.

“I liked it but there was a girl who told everyone they couldn’t play with me,” said Molly. Her downcast eyes stayed glued to her pink gumboots.

It took a hot bubble bath, a glass of wine and a long chat with my husband to come to the

decision that switching schools wasn’t only im-practical, it was also a little hasty.

Molly’s teachers were taken aback by the sit-uation and assured me they’d keep a close eye on both girls. I was still worried, but had faith she was in good hands.

This time around, my baby had a little pep in

her step on the way home from school and a grin from ear-to-ear.

“I have a new friend!’’ she announced proudly, pointing her fi nger to a little girl and her mother who were walking ahead.

Just then, the girl turned around to wave.

And wouldn’t you know it, it was the same child who had given us — or, more like mama bear — so much grief just the day before. Suddenly she didn’t seem so threatening anymore.

To be honest, I actually felt a little guilty for harbouring so much anger toward a four-year-old child. Who knows, maybe she was just feeling territorial about ‘her school.’ Kids love a routine — anything or anyone new can be seen as a threat.

School has been in session for over two months now and we’ve stopped worrying about how Molly is adjusting.

She loves her new teachers and has even begun asking when her new friend can come over to play.

While I may have taken lon-ger to feel at ease, my back-to-school jitters have fi nally sub-sided and the bear claws have been retracted... for now.

Like the perfect glass of lemonade, Trinity Western University’s latest School of Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC) Theatre production is sweet, tart, and refreshing.

Crimes of the Heart, a sassy Southern comedy about second chances, runs Nov. 19-30.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Beth Henley takes place in 1972, when the “meanest man in Mississippi” has just been shot and the whole town is saying it was Babe, his sweet little wife. Luckily for everyone, Babe has terrible aim.

With her husband in the hospital and her lawyer blinded by a vendetta of his own, it’s up to Babe and her sisters to set things right.

“The story, funny and disastrous as it is, resonates with the hope and desper-ation we’ve all experienced at one time or another,” says director Becky MacDor-mand, an accomplished TWU alumna who has worked on Vancouver stages such as The Cultch and Pacifi c Theatre. “Is there still hope when everything blows up in your face? Is your family worth supporting, even when they let you down?”

The antics of the Magrath girls serve as a comical reminder that you can’t choose your family.

While Babe is known as a “pretty, per-fect sugarplum,” she doesn’t have all the lights on upstairs.

Meg, the wild middle child, can’t help toying with the heart of her childhood beau—and giving the town gossip plenty to talk about.

Lenny, the eldest, has the worst luck imaginable, from a shrunken ovary to a beloved horse getting struck by light-ning. But, as these Southern belles prove,

sometimes the most eccentric and dys-functional family can actually be the most lovable.

“It’s a comedy, but it’s not an escape,” says MacDormand. “As you follow the irreverent adventures of these quirky, small-town characters, you can’t help but look at the ups and downs of your own relationships—maybe with fresh eyes. Sometimes that’s the best gift the-atre can offer.”

Crimes of the Heart stars Brandon Bate, Charlotte Elgersma, James Faley, Je-

nessa Galbraith, Liz Squires, and Rachel Zmak. The set designer is Carolyn Ra-panos, costume designer is Jay Havens, and lighting designer is Alia Stephen. The show is stage managed by Sharra Ganzeveld, Veronica Hargrave, and Jane Townsend.

Playing Nov. 19 to 30 at 7:30 p.m. Tues-day to Saturday, with 2 p.m. Saturday matinees. Special pricing on the fi rst Tuesday. For tickets and information, visit www.twu.ca/theatre or call 604-513-2121 extension 3872.

Liz Squires, Charlotte Elgersma, and Rachel Zmak star as the sassy, Southern sisters in TWU’s Crimes of the Heart, running Nov. 19 to 30.

Langley Eagles’ Braydon Clark battles with Port Moody’s Mateo Prodanovic for a bouncing puck during the peewee A championship fi nalof the Port Moody Remembrance Day tournament last week. The Eagles won 4-2.

DAN EBENAL Black Press

For the second time this season, the Lang-ley peewee A3 Eagles have captured the gold medal.

The Langley Minor Hockey Association team was competing at a tier 2 tournament hosted by Port Moody over the Remem-brance Day long week-

end.With the score

tied at two midway through the third peri-od against Port Moody A2 in the fi nal, Jude Wessel stick-handled through three de-fenders and fi red the puck on goal with Bil-ly Thompson burying the rebound. It was

his second game-win-ning goal of the tour-nament. The Eagles would add an emp-ty-net goal to win 4-2.

Langley needed some heroics in the semifi nals just to make the fi nal.

The team trailed Saanich A2 3-0 with nine minutes re-

maining but the Ea-gles forced overtime and won 4-3 when CJ Christenson buried a rebound off a shot from Dayton Milligan 40 seconds into over-time.

“This team has a few great leaders which were needed in the semifi nal game,” said coach Darcy Pinch.

“The team deserved the gold medal for all of their hard work over the weekend.”

In the team’s other games, they defeated Coquitlam A2 Chiefs 4-2, out-scored Victo-ria T3 8-7 with Jared Striker netting a late power-play goal for the winner, and then rode the shut-out goaltending of player of the game Dominic Bosa in a 4-0 win in their fi nal round robin

game.Nicholas Cormack

(one goal) was the player of the game against Coquitlam while Hayden Yahn (one goal, two assists) was player of the game versus Victoria.

•••••Back-to-back shut-

out victories helped the Langley Eagles atom A4 hockey team soar to the gold medal.

The Langley Mi-nor Hockey Associ-ation team defeated

the North Vancouver Storm 7-0 in the cham-pionship fi nals at the Vancouver Thunder-birds’ tournament over the Remembrance Day tournament.

Langley scored three times apiece in the fi rst and second peri-ods to coast to victory.

“The boys played phenomenally this weekend,” said Eagles coach Gary Bowsher.

“Their speed, team-work and discipline were top notch (and) the gold medal game was the best that I have ever seen them play.”

The Eagles also shut-out their previous op-ponent, the Vancouver A4 Thunderbirds 4-0.

Langley had fi nished the round robin with a 2-0-1 record and tied Squamish for top spot in their pool. The Ea-gles were given the higher seed thanks to having accumulated fewer penalty minutes in the three games.

•••••In an all-Langley fi -

nal, it was the Langley Ratclan defeating the Langley Blazers in the gold medal game at the Cloverdale midget C Memorial Tourna-ment over the Remem-brance Day weekend.

The score was tied at two midway in the third period between the two Langley Mi-nor Hockey Associ-ation teams before the Ratclan scored a short-handed goal with eight minutes to play and never looked back, scoring three more times to win 6-2.

Can you move with your child after you’ve split from your ex?

Say you and your ex are guardians with an agreement or court order about parenting arrangements or contact, but now you want to move. Maybe you want to move from Nelson to Vancouver, or even Toronto, for a better job or because you’re getting married to someone who lives there.

You hope to make a better life for yourself and your child. But moving will also likely significantly affect your child’s relationship with your ex or other people important in your child’s life.

If your ex agrees, you can go ahead with the move.

But what if he or she doesn’t agree? BC’s new Family Law Act (which came into effect on March 18, 2013) has rules that apply.

In most cases, you now have to notify your ex and any other person with “contact” (defined in the new rules), in writing, of the proposed move at least 60 days ahead of time. To encourage out-of-court solu-tions, all of you have to use best efforts to cooperate to resolve any issues the reloca-tion poses. If you can sort this out before the date of your planned relocation, your move can go ahead.

But your ex, as the other guardian, can apply to court within 30 days after your written notice to prevent the move.

If you end up in court, somewhat differ-ent rules come into play, depending on whether or not you and your ex have substantially equal “parenting time” (i.e. share parental responsibilities pretty much equally).

Basically, if you mostly carried the load and your child has mostly lived with you

post-split, your chances of being allowed to move are greater – if your proposed move is in good faith, and you’ve come up with reasonable arrangements to preserve your ex’s relationship with your child. Unless your ex can show that the move wouldn’t be in your child’s best interests, the new rules then presume your child would be better off moving with you. But there’s no such presumption if you and your ex had substantially equal parenting time.

The new rules introduce a whole new vocabulary to try and make sorting out family disputes, including relocation cases, less hostile – like “guardian” and “parent-ing arrangement” and “contact” (rather than who gets custody and access, which implies a winner and a loser). What’s in the child’s best interests continues to be the key factor in deciding these types of cases.

It’s important to know that the new rules don’t apply to federal Divorce Act proceed-ings, arrangements or orders for custody and access (the terms used there). Any move with your child involving a change of those custody and access arrangements would need court approval, which would be decided under that law.

The circumstances of individual relocation cases vary widely. They tend to be difficult, emotional cases, and the outcome is often hard to predict. Only some highlights of the new rules are touched on here. If you, or your ex, wants to move with your child, seek legal help promptly.

Crib League

A miraculous comeback was completed with just seconds remaining in the Fraser Valley championship match, sending the Aldergrove Totems to the gold medal.

The senior boys soccer team erased a 2-0 fi rst-half defi cit to defeat the Archbishop Carney Stars — the defending Fraser Valley champs and last year’s provincial fi nalist — in the Fra-ser Valley AA fi nal. The Fraser Valley soccer title is the fi rst for the school.

The game was played Nov. 7 at Aldergrove Community Sec-

ondary School.With his team trailing 2-0,

Ryan Witowich got the come-back going, scoring off a goal-mouth scramble with 10 min-utes to go before the half.

And that goal spurred on the Totems in the second half as they got stronger as the game wore on. With 20 minutes re-maining, another goalmouth scramble resulted in the ty-ing goal and for the rest of the game, the Totems dominated play.

With 15 seconds remaining before stoppage time, Alder-

grove was awarded a corner kick and the team’s two cap-tains, Joel Waterman perfectly placed the ball to the back post where Gurmaan Jahj headed the ball into the net.

The Totems managed to hang on during the two minutes of stoppage time.

Both Aldergrove and Arch-bishop Carney advanced to the B.C. provincial championships, which began yesterday (Mon-day).

They are being held at Burna-by Lakes and wrap up tomorrow (Wednesday).

Totems leave Carney seeing Stars in FV final

It is a dream come true for Hannah Beaton.

The Grade 12 student at Langley Fundamental Secondary who competes with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club, will join the Trinity Western Spartans track and fi eld program next year.

“This has been my dream since I was in Grade 7 and I’m

so excited it’s fi nally here,” she said.

“I wanted to go to a university where I can embrace the idea of honouring God with my athletic gifts, grow as an individual surrounded by a supportive community and go where I felt God wanted me to be. Trinity Western fi ts

perfectly.”Beaton plans to

study nursing while also competing as a pentathlete and

heptathlete.Last year, she

fi nished third at the B.C. high school track and fi eld championships in the heptathlon. She also scored a personal best

with 4,453 points in the event at the 2013 Legion Canadian youth championships, where she fi nished fi fth.

She was one of four athletes who signed to join the Spartans.

Also joining the program will be middle distance runner Caleb de Jong (Winnipeg), and sprinters/hurdlers Jordyn Piercy (Victoria) and Madison Evans (Calgary).

Langley United’s Andre Costa battles for the ball with Saanich Fusion’s Gian Luther during the fi nal of the Pacifi c Cup at Victoria’s Tydall Park on Saturday. The game was a crossover between the two leagues — the Vancouver Island Soccer League and the Fraser Valley Soccer League — of the Premier men’s soccer teams. Langley doubled up their opponent by a 4-2 score.SHARON TIFFIN Black Press

The Langley Lumberjacks returned from Seattle with the silver medal.

The Langley Minor Hockey Association bantam C tournament was competing over the Remembrance Day long weekend at the Fall Faceoff tournament, competing against 15 other teams from across B.C. and Washington state.

The Lumberjacks had won their pool with a 3-0 record — outscoring their foes a combined 16-5 — to set up a semifi nal match against North Delta.

The teams were locked in a scoreless draw over the game’s fi rst 30 minutes, but once Langley opened the scoring, they never looked back, delivering a 4-0 win.

It set up a gold medal showdown against another B.C. team, from the Seafair (Richmond) Minor Hockey Association.

But the Lumberjacks ran out of steam, falling 5-0 in the championship game.

In the team’s round robin games they won handily 7-1 over the host Seattle squad, edged Burnaby 3-2, and then defeated Kelowna 6-2.

Lumberjacks take silver Cohee signsJadon Cohee has

signed his national let-ter of intent to join the Seattle University Red-hawks next season.

Cohee, who grad-uates from Walnut Grove Secondary in June, had verbally ac-cepted a scholarship offer in August. Cohee is a guard for the Wal-nut Grove Gators and was named MVP as the team won its fi rst ever B.C. high school AAA senior boys’ basketball title last year.
