International Festival, Canada Day merge CANADA DAY CELEBRATION WILL EXPAND TO THREE OR FOUR DAYS ALY S S A O ’ DE L L Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Two large summer events will become one this summer, with the Langley International Festival taking over organization of the annual Canada Day event.

After years of holding Canada Day celebrations, control of the volunteer-run Langley Canada Day Society has been assumed by Langley’s International Festival Society (LIFS). The annual multicultural celebration has taken place for the past 13 years. The announcement was made during a presentation to both Langley City and Langley Township councils at their Monday regular meetings.

“Canada is a vibrant, culturally diverse country and what better way to mark its birth than with a multicultural experience?” said LIFS president Bob Barrett in a press release.

“Our goal is to provide a fun, activity-filled celebration that focuses on children and families as we celebrate our nation and all it represents.”

At the moment, LIFS intends to continue running two separate non-profit societies to run both events. However, organizers have decided not to run this year’s International Festival, instead blending popular elements of the festival into a new three- to fourday Canada Day celebration in Langley.

“At this point, because it’s the first year, we want to be conser-

vative,” LIFS vice president Tomas Reyes told Langley City council.

“We know that that has some impact in the community, in the festival itself and in the vendors participating, but we decided that was the best choice.

“That doesn’t mean that the other festival will necessarily disappear, we want to see our ability to manage Canada Day first and see the outcome of this year.”

Council members expressed surprise at the decision, but were overall enthusiastic about the move, which may help address some of the financial hurdles faced by the previous Canada Day society.

“Two-day festivals get a higher priority with grant funding from organizations, different levels of government, than one-day events do,” said Councillor Teri James.

“But in addition, if you can incorporate that international, multicultural component, then it puts you again in a higher queue than the other things.”

The International Festival usually draws a crowd of around 15,000, while the society estimates the Canada Day celebration will bring an opportunity to host upwards of 40,000 visitors.

The event will move from its traditional home in McLeod Athletic Park to Willoughby Community Park, with support from the Langley Events Centre.

The Canada Day event was originally held at Langley Airport, until airport expansion prompted a

Two sides of pipeline expansion discussed TOWNSHIP COUNCIL TO CONSIDER INTERVENTION IN HEARING PROCESS

DAN F E RGUSON • La ng ley Times

Greg Toth, senior project director for Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, spoke to Langley Township council on Monday.

D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The proposed twinning of an oil pipeline through Langley brought both sides in the debate to Township council Monday night, with a Kinder Morgan representative saying the proposed route may be altered to avoid farmland in Fort Langley while a representative of residents opposed to the line

pressed council to register as an intervenor at the National Energy Board hearings.

Greg Toth, senior project director for Kinder Morgan, said the company is considering two alternatives, both of which would avoid a stretch of farmland near the Salmon River by taking a a “jog” through the Redwoods Golf Course.

“We are in dialogue with the golf course,” Toth said.

He added the company would be required to file a supplemental application with the federal National Energy Board to shift the route.

Toth said the company does everything it can to prevent leaks and spills.

“A big part of our focus is keeping the oil in the pipe.”

Toth said.

“I think we have a great safety record for an operating pipeline.”

The existing older pipeline that runs Alberta crude through Langley is in good shape and subject to aroundthe-clock maintenance and testing, he added.

“They bought very high when they built the [original]

quality pipe pipeline.”

Toth said a pipeline poses less environmental risk than tankers on trains.

“Rail is an order of magnitude less safer.”

Trucks are even riskier, he said.

If the company win approval from the NEB, Toth said construction would take place over 2016 and 2017.

After Toth finished speaking, it was the turn of Byron Smith, who spoke for local residents opposed to the expansion.

He noted the pipeline, as it is currently proposed, would run through his family farm and the farms of his neighbours.

“We did not ask for this pipe nor do we want it,” Smith said.

Smith urged council to file for intervenor status at the National Energy Board hearings on the proposed pipeline before the Feb. 12 deadline.

Intervenors, if accepted by the NEB, can file written evidence and ask the applicant questions.

“You have a very short window to make a move on this,” Smith said.

“It would be negligent for you not to participate.”

Mayor Jack Froese said council takes the matter “very seriously” but its authority over a federal matter like a pipeline is limited.

D A N FE R GUS ON • Langley Time s “We’ll certainly do our best,” Froese said.

Byron Smith’s family owns property near Fort Langley which “We’ll be working with our could be on the new pipeline route. He wants Langley staff on that [decision on an Township council to register as an intervenor in the National intervenor application].”

Tight intervention window catches MP by surprise WA N D A C HO W Bl ack Pre s s

The National Energy Board (NEB) is trying to shut people out of the process reviewing the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion proposal, says Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart.

“There’s more notice and opportunities to participate when we’re discussing speedbumps on Cambridge Street [in North Burnaby],” he said last week.

For weeks his office has contacted the NEB trying to find out when people could

apply for intervenor status to have their voices heard on Kinder Morgan Canada’s expansion application, which was filed Dec. 16. If approved, it would almost triple capacity on its pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby to allow for increased exports of oil sands crude to overseas markets.

Then on Jan. 8, his staff stumbled on a Dec. 31 letter from the NEB to the pipeline company, buried on the regulatory body’s website, stating that applications would be taken, starting Jan. 15 until noon on Feb. 12.

The company is required to publish no-

tices to that effect in certain local newspapers no later than Jan. 29, potentially meaning only a two-week window for people to submit their applications.

“So this giant $5 billion project, if you just happen to be away the day the paper lands on the doorstep, that’s it.”

Stewart called it a “deliberate attempt by the National Energy Board to really limit participation to major companies.”

He noted that in the past, the NEB has taken several months to review a company’s application to make sure it’s complete,

with relevant maps, for instance, then it announces a public hearing and puts out a notice giving people weeks to register. Then it decides who will be allowed to participate.

In this case, the call for participation will go out at the same time as the review is happening, and it’s narrowed the window for people to apply. If the review results in changes being made to Kinder Morgan’s 15,000-page application after the Feb. 12 deadline, no additional applicants will be accepted.

There is a shortage of the flu shot in Langley MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

If you live in Langley and want to get a flu shot to protect against the outbreak of H1N1 — you are too late.

Calls made by The Times on Tuesday to numerous pharmacies had all responding that they were fully out of stock.

“There are limited quantities of vaccine

available in the community. Public Health Units and staff are trying to fill as many vaccine orders as possible, but all units are either out of stock or nearly out of supply,” said Fraser Health spokesperson Erin Labbe. “We have just been notified that the province hopes to have additional doses available in the next two to three weeks.”

cases of H1N1 influenza where infected people in the ages of 20 to 50, instead of the elderly.

As of Jan. 1, 30 patients sick with suspected H1N1 had been treated in hospital intensive care units with artificial respiration, although some have since been discharged.

The vaccine is being given to children under five for free and to people older than 65 and for those with vulnerable immune systems or who work in or visit a health environment.

For everyone else, the vaccine costs around $18. The spray flu shot can’t be administered by a pharmacist, only by a health nurse. The Langley Public Health Office is the best play to take the spray, if any is available.

Langley residents have been eager to get their flu shot this year, so much so there is now a shortage of the vaccine that protects against the H1N1 virus that has killed at least two people in B.C. this season.

B.C. may use up 1.4 million doses TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Supplies of influenza vaccine are still available to B.C. residents, despite high demand as the H1N1 strain of the virus has returned, claimed provincial health officials last week.

Cases since the current flu season began in December have shown a shift towards people aged 20 to 69, rather than the very young and the elderly who are typically most vulnerable.

There have been severe cases involving healthy, younger people and two deaths have been confirmed, one in the Okanagan and one on Vancouver Island.

The main strain of influenza to emerge this winter is a descendent of the H1N1 that prompted the largest vaccination in Canadian history in 2009-10, when the illness was declared a global pandemic.

Provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the B.C. health ministry purchased a record 1.4 million doses of the current vaccine, which offers immunity to H1N1 and other strains. Some doctors’ offices and pharmacies have run out as demand has been higher than last year.

“We have supplies currently available, but it’s conceivable that if demand continues to be high, we’ll use up all of those 1.4 million doses,” Kendall said on Jan. 8. “So I wouldn’t call it a vaccine shortage, I’d call it an unusually high demand.”

Flu season typically runs from December to April. Kendall said in an average year, between 10 and 20 per cent of B.C. residents contract the virus, with about 2,000 sick enough to be hospitalized and 500 deaths, mostly people with underlying condi-

tions.

While severe illness among younger, healthier people is unusual, so far the current flu season is in the typical range, Kendall said.

Seasonal influenza is mainly a respiratory illness, with symptoms of coughing, fever, headache and muscle ache that typically last from seven to 10 days. It can be complicated by pneumonia and worsen underlying conditions such as heart disease.

Kendall said confirmation of North America’s first case of H5N1 “bird flu” is not a cause for public concern, because that strain is typically caught from poultry and rarely transmitted from person to person. A traveller returning from China to Edmonton via Vancouver during the Christmas season became ill and died Jan. 3.

Metro, Township battle in court J EF F N AGE L Bla ck Pre s s

A legal challenge launched by Metro Vancouver against Langley Township over compliance with Metro’s regional growth strategy is now in the hands of a judge.

The regional district and the municipality were expected to wrap up a three-day hearing in B.C. Supreme Court Wednesday over the fate of agricultural land in north Langley near Highway 1 and Glover Road.

At issue is the Township’s Official Community Plan amendment last year to allow a dense small lot urban residential subdivision, at odds with Metro’s growth plan, which calls for the area to be maintained as

low-density agricultural land.

Metro lawyers argued the proposed 13-hectare development by developer Peter Wall is an urban-style project that contravenes Metro’s 2011 regional growth strategy.

The land is just part of the Township’s broader vision for a huge 180-hectare mixed-use University District near Trinity Western University.

Langley Township has argued it need only comply with Metro’s previous 1996 growth strategy and is doing so because Metro had once agreed to consider the University District area as a “special study area” where denser development might be allowed.

If Metro prevails and Langley

Township is ordered to abide by the new growth strategy, the Township could still put its rezoning plan to a vote of the regional board, but it would need a stronger two-thirds majority there to override the growth plan.

Township officials have maintained the land is less suited for farming and the Agricultural Land Commission doesn’t object to the development.

The case is the first major test of Metro’s new growth strategy, which aims to concentrate growth in town centres and limit sprawl in more rural and agricultural areas outside the plan’s urban containment boundary.

It’s being closely watched by other municipalities and developers.

MP’s office will help participants

From Page 3

Coincidentally, Stewart had scheduled a public information meeting for Jan. 25 on how to participate in the process, which he had thought would be well before the application window.

Now it’ll be held just in time.

Stewart’s constituency office will also be converted into a registration centre for the NEB process, with additional computers and staff brought in to assist people in applying. Only those who would be directly impacted by the project will be permitted to have their views and concerns heard as part of the hearings. People with relevant information may be allowed to participate, and who ultimately is chosen in either category will be up to the NEB. His office staff will help people articulate how they qualify to participate, volunteer lawyers will be available to offer advice, and there will be assistance in applying for NEB funding for participants, to hire their own lawyers, for example.

“This is it. Out of all this chatter and maps and public events and things, this is really the moment, if people have any concerns about this project, this is the time to get involved right now,” Stewart said.

He stressed that his office will help anyone to apply, whether they oppose or support the project. And he urges people to register, even if they ultimately decide not to participate, rather than regret later not having applied.

Langley Township Councillor Steve Ferguson is fed up with Canada Post’s inaction on improving the security of community mailboxes, after his was broken into again last week.

“Our mailboxes have been broken into 10 times over the past year. It’s very frustrating and my neighbours are getting as fed up as I am,” said Ferguson.

He arrived to get his mail in his Fernridge area neighbourhood only to have a notice put on the boxes letting residents know that there was a break-in and mail was taken.

Now he has been told to pick up his mail at the main Canada Post office in Langley City on Production Way, during business hours of 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

It could take up to two weeks to repair the community box, writes Canada Post.

“We have to travel 10 kilometres to the City of Langley to get our mail,” said Ferguson.

“We are so frustrated with Canada Post. They promised us new mailboxes and a better secured system. I don’t even know what mail was stolen.”

Calling Canada Post community mailboxes “inferior”

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Township councillor Steve Ferguson says his mailbox has been broken into 10 times. and “poorly designed” in October, Ferguson convinced a majority of Township council to back his campaign for improvements to the design of the grouped-together boxes.

They have been installed in new residential areas in lieu of house-to-house delivery since 1985.

Ferguson said the mailboxes are easy targets for breakins and can be pried open using a screwdriver and any household tool.

“Mail theft, tampering and vandalism became a problem the day after the [first] community boxes were installed,” Ferguson said.

His written resolution, ap-

proved by a majority of council on Oct. 21, asks the post office to “put into place measures to make these community mailboxes secure from forced entry and theft” and to consider adopting Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles to make the mailboxes less vulnerable.

The resolution was sent to every government body, provincially and federally, and sent to all municipalities.

“We received a thank you for the motion from Canada Post.

They are always very polite,” said Ferguson about Canada Post’s lack of response.

In October Langley RCMP

put out a warning, saying mail theft was rampant, with 18 mailboxes being pried open on Oct. 21 alone. Thousands of pieces of stolen mail was recovered from a vehicle that crashed and was abandoned on 200 Street in Brookswood that same month.

“I spoke with Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke, and he told me “don’t even get me started on mail theft.” He said the amount of resources that are being used up to chase down these files and sort out all the mail is huge.

“Those police resources could be used somewhere else,” Ferguson said.

Ferguson said for every officer investigating the mounting mail theft problem, it is costing Langley taxpayers.

B.C. is the mail theft capital of Canada.

Canada Post is going through massive transitions as it is phasing out home delivery of mail and putting in more community mailboxes.

Canada Post has always said that once the mail is dropped off, it no longer has any responsibility for the safety of people’s mail.

Ferguson recognizes that community mailboxes are here to stay but security must be improved.

“Mail is still important to people so we have to do better,” he said.

No decision on funding any of the items on the questionnaire will be made until the 2015 budget is prepared.

PROPOSAL HAD EARLIER BEEN DEFEATED D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A previously defeated proposal to build 244 housing units next to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints temple in Langley Township won approval on a second vote Monday night (Jan. 13).

When the Qualico project was put to a vote Dec. 16, concerns about its impact on temple parking produced a split council and a 4-4 tie vote that saw the development defeated.

Church elders had objected to the plan to build higher-density housing next to the Mormon temple at the corner of 82 Avenue and 204 Street, saying it could create problems with people using the temple parking lot.

They suggested single family homes would be preferable near the 28,165 square-

GRANT WA R D foot temple.

At the time of the tie vote, Councillor Bev Dornan was absent from council on a family matter.

Under procedural rules that allow for reconsideration, the measure came back for another vote with Dornan present.

This time, the project passed with a 6-3 vote, with Dornan one of the supporters.

Councillor Grant

Ward, who opposed the project in December, changed his vote to yes.

After the meeting, he told The Times he changed his mind after speaking with staff and the developer about altering the design to shift to single-family homes near the temple.

“It wasn’t practically doable,” Ward said. “It was a misunderstanding on my part.”

The Langley temple, dedicated in May, 2010, was at the time the seventh built in Canada by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

It serves 22,000 Mormons from 91 congregations throughout B.C. and northern Washington.

The temple, which is not open to non-members, is reserved for the sacraments of the Mormon church such as baptism and marriage.

Mormons have been in B.C. since 1875, but until the Langley temple was built, they had to travel to Seattle or Cardston, Alta. for temple services and sacraments.

Details of the Langley temple construction can be viewed on Facebook at “Vancouver LDS Temple.”

Langley Township council seems poised to adopt a tax increase of about three per cent for 2014. On top of user fee increases of three to six per cent for garbage, sewer and water services, this would mean the average taxpayer would pay about $2,700 to the Township in 2014. This figure does not include school taxes or other property taxes paid to Metro Vancouver or TransLink.

While it would be nice to see a tax freeze or a very modest one to two per cent increase, realistically that seems unlikely in the near future. As the Township keeps growing, new residents in particular demand more services.

They are not content with the status quo.

They want improvements to roads, new recreation facilities, and more police and fire services. In short, they want more urban services — services that many long-time Township residents, particularly in rural areas, see little need for.

The Township is set to almost double its population in the next 25 years. This will happen as a result of increased densities in Willoughby, where much undeveloped land remains, as well as urbanization of Brookswood and Fernridge. There will be a huge demand for more services with another 100,000 people here by 2040.

While some might suggest that the Township should sharply limit growth, that can’t happen in a society where a free market exists. People are free to move to areas where they want to live. There is plenty of land in Langley available for urban development.

Those coming here want urban services.

Question langeytimes.com

of the week

Is the $3 toll to cross the Port Mann Bridge fair to Langley residents?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Assault ignored they

If a tree falls in a forest, and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

In the hockey world, this philosophical question about observation/reality creates an interesting debate when it comes to crime.

If a player punches an official in a hockey rink, and nobody reports it to police, is it a criminal code offence?

The answer, according to Richmond Mounties, is no.

Unless somebody calls police, which would trigger an investigation, it’s as if nothing happened, according to a senior local Mountie.

And therein lies the problem, which has nothing to do with police, and everything to do with hockey’s misguided culture that encompasses players, coaches, parents and fans.

Two weeks ago, during the Richmond International Midget Hockey Tournament, a hockey player reportedly lost his cool and vented his frustration on an official.

But did a single person observing this apparent assault — if you believe a hockey coach who described the unusual scene to a TV news cameraman the following day — call the police?

Well, no, according to the Richmond RCMP. And if the Richmond RCMP weren’t called to investigate, it’s as if it never happened.

The idea that teenagers are taught that strapping on skates exempts them from the laws of the land, is ludicrous.

No, this isn’t about fighting between players, which is a different debate.

This is about hockey player violence in general, which in this case reportedly required the hockey official to be taken to hospital.

A fight between consenting adults or teenagers is one thing.

When a referee is the victim, it’s time for a complete re-examination, as this teenager clearly crossed the line.

Relying on the hockey associations involved in the incident to mete out justice is folly.

One phone call to the police about that incident would not just get them involved, but it would uncover the truth that the public deserves to know, and send a crystal clear message to the teen and his family. It would come from an objective perspective that’s not influenced by those invested in Canada’s favourite pastime.

— Richmond Review

Busy year for FHA Editor: As we move into 2014, I think it’s a good time to thank all Fraser Health staff, physicians and volunteers, who work tirelessly to meet the health needs of the people that live in our region.

During the past year, Fraser Health’s 12 hospitals saw 615,000 emergency visits, 15,000 births, and one million patient days. We also saw increases in our residential care, home health, mental health and substance use, and other community services. Indeed a busy year for us. The delivery of health care can be challenging and complex. They do a fantastic job.

The demand for health care continues to increase, which isn’t surprising given we provide service to one of the fastest growing regions in Canada, with a population of 1.7 million, a third of all British Columbians.

This past year we opened a new Emergency at Surrey Memorial Hospital, the second largest in Canada, and one that serves our entire region with a dedicated pediatric emergency, and specialized care for mental health and substance use provided in a separate zone. We look forward to opening the rest of the critiDAVID M IT CHE LL cal care tower this June. It will feature a new and expanded intensive care unit, a specialized stroke unit, and additional beds to meet the need for hospital care by our growing population in Fraser Health. We are proud of this $512 million project which represents the largest single capital investment in B.C. health care.

In addition to continuing investments in all our hospitals, the health care system needs to evolve from one focused on hospital services to one that places more emphasis on services in the community and the home. With the right supports, we believe that home can be the best place to recover from illness or injury, to manage chronic conditions, and to live out final days. That’s why over the past year we have increased our home support care hours, awarded contracts for new residential care facilities in several of our communities, and introduced a new philosophy called ‘Seamless Care’. A seamless, satisfying and quality health and wellness journey for all the residents of Fraser Health is one we strive for.

The safety of our patients and staff is of utmost importance.

Building upon ongoing strategies to promote a culture of safety in our care facilities, we are collaborating with the Emily Carr University of Art + Design to design new and innovative resources that will help keep our patients safe from common hazards in hospitals, including infections, falls, and medication errors.

Late last year, the Minister of Health asked me to co-chair a strategic and operational review of Fraser Health. I welcome this opportunity to work with health leaders across BC to identify potential strategies that will make for an even better (and sustainable) health care system, not only in Fraser Health, but across BC. I am proud that Fraser Health is committed to providing quality care, while having one of the lowest administrative costs of any health region in Canada. We will continue to be prudent with the public funding we receive.

Thank you for entrusting your care in us.

DAVID MITCHELL, BOARD CHAIR, FRASER HEALTH AUTHORITY

Council needs to take part in NEB pipeline hearings Editor: I am writing to you regarding a very sincere and legitimate concern regarding a decision that will decide the fate of our community for generations to come. Langley Township council will be voting next Monday regarding whether to participate in the National Energy Board process, on the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline. This process was recently greatly altered, and it is much more difficult to take part in.

This process is created to give directly affected citizens and communities a voice at the table when deciding routing, ecological impact, economic benefits and other factors regarding energy projects.

The project on the table is Kinder Morgan’s plan to build a new pipeline along the existing Trans Mountain route, to ship bitumen from Alberta.

To not participate in this process would be neglectful. Kinder Morgan’s 15,000-page submission is a tome that holds all the information regarding a project that can and will have a large impact on B.C.

I am not anti-development and I understand the role energy and the business of it plays within the Canadian economy. However, I do not feel that because there are some perks on the table that we should turn a blind eye to this development.

As stewards of this land, it is our duty to ensure its continued usefulness and prosperity is not tarnished by poor planning and short-sightedness.

This is why it is vital that our council be the community’s voice in this process.

I strongly urge concerned community members, small business owners and affected land owners to reach out to members of council this week and make them aware of how important having a voice is. Our forefathers fought for our rights and it is up to us to make sure we do our part to ensure those rights for generations to come.

Man thanked for saving dog Editor: We would like to say ‘thank you’ to the anonymous man who saved our dog.

Our dog Koda (a malamute/wolf cross) got out of our yard on the very rainy afternoon of Thursday, Jan. 9.

This man put aside any fear of getting bit to save our dog from a very dangerous situation. Koda was running through traffic on 40 Avenue during rush hour (about 4 p.m.) in the pouring rain.

Koda is a very large dog and is very intimidating

to most people.

We can not express enough how truly grateful we are for this man’s kind, courageous act. He put his own safety at risk in order to save an innocent animal from danger, possibly death.

It is refreshing to know there are still people out there who care enough to go out of their way to help. Our sincere thanks to you for saving our dog.

GREG BABUIN AND CINDY LUNDY, LANGLEY

Keep children out of bars Editor: This is a response to the letter written by Julie Lornie (The Times, Jan. 7): “Opinion piece an example of unloving sentiment.”

After reading her suggestion that children ought to be allowed in bars and pubs, I was truly in shock.

I could not believe that someone would suggest that it is a good idea to expose children to alcohol at a young age. The truth is, we need to avoid exposing children to alcohol.

I am a 16-year-old student, and I have seen members of the youth and child population slip into drinking because they grew up in an environment where their parents drank. Inviting children into bars would simply promote child drinking and lead to many more problems down the road.

She also suggested that children being allowed around alcohol in the Philippines was a good thing.

Many fail to realize is that 60 per cent of children over 13 in the Philippines have taken or are taking drinks. This often leads to alcoholism later in life.

She suggested that this issue contributes to the fact that Canada has a fertility rate of 1.5 children per woman? Give me a break. Just because people know they can’t take their children into bars has nothing to do with the underpopulation debate. Alcohol has a negative affect on people, and we need to keep it away from those who will be influenced by it at a critical stage of their lives.

Both the builder of the stalled Coulter Berry building and Langley Township council have rejected an offer to restart construction by the people who won a stop-work court order against the project.

The deal proposed by the Fort Langley Residents for Sustainable Development (FLRSD) would allow the builder to keep an underground parkade in return for agreeing to trim the size of the building from three to two stories.

It would include tax breaks under municipal heritage revitalization guidelines to make the parkade “economically viable” according to an email from the group to the Township, which described the proposal as a “win/win” that would end the court fight.

“The hope is that the developer would welcome a solution that offers economic viability and a timely restart to the project,” the FLRSD email stated.

“The Township should welcome the opportunity to see the restart of the project and an end to litigation.”

Council said no at its Monday afternoon meeting, directing its lawyers to send a letter of refusal to the group.

“Tell them we’re not interested,” Councillor Kim Richter said.

Councillor Steve Ferguson said the proposal was not a win-win, but a “onewin.”

Councillor Charlie Fox said the proposal was “not realistic” and would cost taxpayers too much.

Developer Eric Woodward was equally opposed.

He posted an online analysis of the proposal at http://www.coulterberry.

D A N FE R GUS ON • Langley Time s

Councillor Charlie Fox said a proposal to restart construction of the Coulter Berry building would costs taxpayers too much money. com/facts/winlose that puts the potential cost of the proposal to Langley taxpayers at $3,603,250.

That total amount includes lost tax revenue from the third floor of the building over the 75-year life of the structure, and the cost of tax incentives to make the $3 million parkade viable.

“I would never ask taxpayers to pay for what the private sector can accomplish,” Woodward told The Times.

“Commercial property is supposed to help keep residential property taxes lower, not increase them,” Woodward added.

On top of that, he estimates his company would lose $1,546,000.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge halted

work on the Fort Langley project last year, ruling the Township violated its own regulations when it approved a heritage alteration permit (HAP) for the project.

The permit allowed construction of building that was bigger than the maximum size allowed in the heritage conservation area of downtown Fort Langley, the judge declared.

Under the Township bylaw, a heritage alteration permit allows council to “vary” the restrictions on buildings in a conservation area, but it does not allow bigger buildings, he said.

Council has approved an appeal court challenge of the decision.

New bus link with Fraser Valley approved CONNECT TO CARVOLTH EX CHANGE

ALE X B U TL E R Bl ack Pre s s

A regional bus plan previously rejected by Abbotsford council was reconsidered and approved on Monday, laying the foundation for a new transit connection between Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley.

The plan was approved by the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) in September and the City of Chilliwack in October, but was initially rejected by Abbotsford’s council.

As the decision was made with only six councillors at the table, Mayor Bruce Banman used his executive privilege to bring back the issue for another vote.

Banman told council that approving the bus was “fundamentally the right thing to do as a service to the region.”

He said that cities need to start planning now for a “population explosion” in the area, and transportation is an important part of that.

The bus is expected to begin in 2015 and will take people from Chilliwack to Langley’s Carvolth Transit Exchange, connecting Fraser Valley residents to TransLink services.

Councillor Henry Braun and Councillor Moe Gill voted against the proposal, citing concerns about expense.

The six-bus fleet for the Fraser Valley Express bus would cost $1.6 million per year. BC Transit will pay about 50 per cent of the cost for the service, with Abbotsford paying 63.8 per cent of the remaining costs — about $588,236 — and Chilliwack paying 36.2 per cent – about $333,764. Langley will not pay into the bus service.

Langley residents already pay for TransLink services, through property taxes and a 17-cent per litre gas tax.

Representatives from BC Transit, FVRD and the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) were there to present information about the project and answer questions. They cited the success of UFV’s Campus Connector shuttle service, which began in September and quickly reached capacity. Students supported a referendum in the fall to expand the service.

Banman said the regional bus would also support students moving between campuses, as well as helping people access many regional services such as hospitals and the courts.

The planned travel time between Chilliwack and Abbotsford is 30 minutes, and the total commute from Chilliwack to Langley would be under one hour. The annual ridership is estimated to be 136,800 passenger trips.

Braun said he still felt many questions have been left unanswered about the service, but Councillor Patricia Ross said that Abbotsford’s approval is needed before more details could be worked out.

District officials will continue work to determine final fare structures, schedule development and potential routes. The service likely won’t begin for at least a year.

At the Carvolth Transit Exchange, Fraser Valley residentys could connect to the 555 bus which crosses the Port Mann Bridge and connects directly to SkyTrain. or to other buses that go to Langley, Surrey and Maple Ridge.

Just a typical visit by Stephen Harper to B.C. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s latest visit to B.C. was portrayed as these things are today: besieged by protesters, hiding from an ever-vigilant media, cynically campaigning for the 2015 federal election.

TV couldn’t get enough of the two “environmental activists” who dressed as waiters to slip onstage at a business breakfast in Vancouver.

They’re not environmentalists, just all-purpose protesters using the flavour of the

month. They are associated with a group calling itself “No One Is Illegal,” a collection of anarchist kooks that wants to do away with national borders, and of course capitalism.

As their now-famous sign said, they want “climate justice now.”

Organizer Brigette DePape explained to a co-operative CBC TV host that the recent typhoon in the Philippines that killed thousands of people was caused by global warming, which of course is caused main-

Fisheries Minister Gail Shea defended the cost-cutting measure by pointing out that almost all access to these libraries is now digital, so maintaining 11 duplicated sets of printed reports is a waste of taxpayer dollars.

even be catalogued, much less completely digitized for online access.

So this material wasn’t even properly organized? Users were supposed to browse until they stumbled on something pertinent?

The ministry reported that the average number of people other than federal fisheries staff who used these libraries averaged between five and 12 per year. That’s for all 11 facilities combined. And if anyone has even one example of information that was available and isn’t now, they should identify it.

Harper’s got plenty to answer for, no question. To take one of many examples, spending our borrowed money on TV ads for a “Canada Job Grant” program that hasn’t even been introduced in Parliament, much less set up, isn’t just wasteful. It’s dishonest and cruelly misleading to the unemployed people the ads pretend to offer help to.

Harper’s visit to B.C.

added a couple of scripted events, starting with softball questions at the Vancouver business breakfast.

Then he was off to a photo-op at the Kinsol trestle on Vancouver Island, where he announced three more years of funding for the Trans-Canada Trail.

I’m as relieved as anyone that Harper is not killing this modest federal project that started in 1992, but this is not news. It was a fake public event to justify the cost of a trip so Harper could address a new Conservative riding association.

And how is the federal deficit after eight years of tight-fisted Conservative rule?

We’re only borrowing about $1 billion a month now, down from the Harper government all-time record deficit of $55 billion in 2009.

Some cost cutting is in order, all right.

Home invasion suspects in court M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

Two men accused in a September home invasion of an elderly couple made some brief appearances in court on Thursday (Jan. 9).

Brodey Muncey and Shawne Isinger are both charged with break and enter and unlawful confinement in connection with the home invasion.

Muncey remains behind bars since his arrest a day after the home invasion and appeared via video conference from jail.

Isinger was released from jail shortly after his arrest.

Police allege that Muncey and his partner Isinger, 36, both of Langley, broke into the partially open sliding door of a second floor apartment occupied by a 78-year-old woman and a 79-year-old man.

They robbed the couple and fled. The victims called 911 and within minutes police and a police dog were there. The forensic unit identified the two suspects and Isinger was arrested a short time later by the RCMP street enforcement unit.

Muncey was arrested the following day after police received a tip on his whereabouts from a member of the public.

After a dramatic standoff, the Emergency Response Team was able to arrest him in Langley City apartment building in the 5300 block of 206 Street, where he was believed to be living.

At the time of his arrest, Muncey was also found to be the subject of outstanding arrest warrants for robbery and use of an imitation firearm.

“Now that it (Kindergarten) is fullday, that has largely become a non-issue,” he said.

In 2012, more than 30 parents camped out in the snowy, cold conditions outside R.C. Garnett Elementary to see if their child could get a spot inside the over-populated school.

At choice schools, demand to get in from out of catchment is still high.

Registration is ‘in person’ at a child’s catchment school. For Langley’s ‘Choice Programs’ like Fine Arts Fundamental programs, parents usually

The days of parents camping out at elementary schools in Langley to ensure a Kindergarten spot appear to have come to an end, according to the Langley School District.

On Monday, Jan. 20, parents can register their kids for Kindergarten at all Langley public schools if their child will be five by Dec. 31, 2014.

“We do not anticipate any ‘camp outs’ or the like,” said school district spokesperson Ken Hoff.

The campouts usually centred around getting a spot in the morning

sign up their kids as soon as they are born, said Hoff.

While some districts are trying out registration online, it isn’t something Langley is looking to yet, he said.

The projected number of children coming into Kindergarten was down a bit from what was expected this school year, said secretary-treasurer David Green at a school board meeting recently.

But he said it appears the number of preschool aged children is much higher so more kids should be entering Kindergarten in the coming years.

up in City, survey shows

A LY S S A O’DE L L Time s Re po rte r

Despite overall satisfaction with quality of life remaining high, transportation, social issues and a sharp drop in public perception of safety downtown at night were key concerns in Langley City last year, according to the City’s 2013 Community Survey results.

Ipsos Reid surveyed 600 residents in October 2013 and found that 95 per cent of citizens rated quality of life in Langley City very good or good – an indicator that has remained high since it was first measured in 2004.

The survey, done every three years, shows slightly lower scores on emergency preparedness and satisfaction with road conditions compared with previous measurements, Ipsos Reid’s Kyle Braid told Langley City council on Monday.

Markers such as satisfaction with municipal accountability and accessibility remained high compared to previous years, said Braid, and the survey showed a 92 per cent overall satisfaction with services provided by the City.

When asked to identify what they saw as the most important issue facing their community, 27 per cent of respondents pointed to transportation challenges like street conditions, public transit and traffic congestion as their main concern, followed by social issues like poverty or homelessness. Eighteen per cent of those polled mentioned crime as their top concern.

“These are not unique issues to the City of Langley,” said Braid, noting that Ipsos Reid finds similar results across the Lower Mainland.

More than one-third of those who said quality of life had worsened attributed this perception to issues surrounding crime, and 45 per cent of the citizens polled said they feel less secure in their community than five years ago, with 32 per cent saying they felt more secure.

And although the majority of respondents said they felt safe in downtown Langley during the day, perceptions of safety in the area during the evening have declined significantly, down from 65 per cent in 2010 to 54 per cent in 2013.

But according to City acting Mayor Ted Schaffer, who met with RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke last week, proactive plans are in place to address some of these concerns.

“We discussed city core issues and a strategy to target some of the problems in the downtown core and in the city in general,” he said during the mayor’s report.

Schaffer says security cameras will be soon be operational in the newly-revitalized McBurney Plaza, to complement those already monitoring City Hall and Douglas Park. As well, Scaffer has approved spending some overtime dollars for enhanced police presence if needed.

Compass card launch delayed until summer JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

TransLink has shuffled its schedule for rolling out its Compass card, meaning about two-thirds of transit users will now wait until next summer to start using the new payment system.

Officials had previously promised the cards would be available to all by late spring, That came after criticism that TransLink had failed to deliver on the “operational by fall 2013” signs on SkyTrain faregates.

West Coast Express passengers had been told they’d be first to get the new cards in December, but they have now been pushed back to late spring.

The general public won’t be offered the smart cards until sometime in the summer, said Mike Madill, the TransLink vice-president in charge of the $194 million project.

The decision to delay stems from what he called “areas for improvement” flagged with the online customer service system

that Compass users will log in to register cards, load money and control options like auto-loading from their connected credit cards.

“It’s functional, but it’s not to the service standard we require for our customers,” Madill said. “We want to make sure we get it right for our customers all the way along.”

TransLink previously planned to stop selling FareSaver tickets on Jan. 1 but now says the booklets of prepaid discounted tickets will continue to be sold into next summer.

WCE passengers will also be able to keep buying seven- and 28-day passes until Compass arrives for them.

First up will now be income-assisted seniors and others with disabilities who now have the BC Bus Pass, which provides unlimited transit access B.C.-wide for $45 a year.

Madill said they will get Compass cards by the end of January if they’re Metro Vancouver residents, while Compass cards will

public notice Flooding: Preventative Maintenance While Township crews routinely inspect culvert trash racks and storm systems to make sure they are functioning efficiently, conditions can change rapidly during storm season.

You can do your part to reduce flooding risks by completing some of these simple preventative maintenance measures: • Clear nearby curbs and catch basins of leaves and debris, especially during heavy rain, as water running off the street will carry more leaves and debris into the curb.

• Do not rake leaves from your property or boulevard onto the street or into open ditches.

• Collect and compost leaves on site or bag them for future pick-up.

• Clear debris that has collected in driveway culverts and result in blockages and check ditches in front of your property for blockages.

• Clear snow off nearby curbs and off catch basins.

To report flooding problems that are not directly related to your property or to report flooding occurring on municipal property, phone 604.532.7300 between 8:30am and 4:30pm, Monday through Friday, or call 604.543.6700 after hours.

All in the details at Boffo Development’s Adagio

By Kerry Vital

Boffo Developments is bringing hotel-style sophistication to South Surrey with its newest development, Adagio. With a variety of floorplans and amazing features, there are plenty of things that set the project apart, including an amazing community courtyard with trees, paths and garden plots.

The one-, two- and three-bedroom homes are spacious and inviting, with nine-foot ceilings (15 feet on the top floor),

expansive windows and large terraces and patios.

Boffo is known for high-quality work, but it’s one room in the home that really draws people in: the kitchen. The natural granite or quartz slab countertops are matched with a complementary backsplash. The under-cabinet and recessed lighting easily illuminates your tasks, and the stainless-steel appliances and 40-inch upper cabinets are perfectly situated.

Large kitchen islands feature a wine chiller and tons of space for food preparation or casual dining.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

The bathrooms are luxurious and soothing, with either an oversize shower with frameless glass enclosure or an oversize soaker tub/shower combination. The ensuite includes built-in shower niches and a radiant heated floor to make you feel like you’re entering an exclusive spa, a feeling only magnified by the custom suspended vanity and natural granite or quartz countertops, complemented by a matching backsplash.

Residents at Adagio will find everything they can possibly imagine on their front doorstep. From dining at one of the delicious local restaurants to shopping at nearby Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Morgan Crossing or Grandview Corners, nothing is out of reach. Leisure and recreation is also close by, with several parks, pools, arenas and clubs in the neighbourhood, as well as White Rock beach.

On-site, homeowners at Adagio will find a residents lounge with chef ’s demonstration kitchen, double-sided fireplace, televisions, pool tables and a large garden and patio area. There is also a large fitness centre with a steam room.

For more information, visit www.adagiobyboffo.ca or call 604-531-6659.

Tate on Howe, a new 40-storey tower in downtown Vancouver, will be close to everything that the city has to offer, from the nightlife in Yaletown to the shopping and dining on Robson Street and entertainment on Granville Street.

Downtown living at Tate on Howe

By Kerry Vital

Artistic downtown living has come to Vancouver with Tate on Howe, a new condominium development from Bonds Group of Companies that offers not only gorgeous one- and two-bedroom homes but also an amazing collection and amenities and a location that can’t be easily beat.

“We’ve just begun offering homes to

the public and are very pleased with the response we’ve received,” says Tracy McRae, vice-president of development for Bonds Group of Companies. “Vancouver has a very competitive landscape and well-educated buyers; they know quality when they see it.”

The exterior has been designed by Merrick Architecture, and will be a striking part of the Vancouver skyline. The 40-storey tower will maximize water and city views, with huge windows designed to let the light pour in.

Inside, you’ll find high ceilings (8’6”, with 9’ on the 34th floor and above) and spacious floorplans designed for comfortable living.

The kitchens are fit for any aspiring chef, with imported European cabinetry systems

by Eggersmann, chic polished-edge quartz countertops and a dramatic iridescent mosaic tile backsplash. The stainless-steel appliances include a Miele gas cooktop and wall oven.

The bathrooms hold their own Eggersmann European cabinetry, complemented by quartz countertops and a deep full-size soaker tub.

Select homes feature separate showers and his-and-hers sinks in the ensuite.

“Each of our homes pair thoughtful design with artistic flair and will truly be an oasis in the city,” McRae says.

Homeowners will have access to the Tate Clubhouse, an amenities space that holds a fireside lounge and library with over-height ceilings, social room with a chef ’s kitchen and formal dining area, fitness facilities, a billiards room, 12-seat surround sound theatre and business facilities such as a meeting room and conference room. There will also a terrace garden on the fifth floor with a water feature and sheltered courtyards.

Residents will also be part of High Street of the Arts, a 10,000-square-foot art space

dedicated to the City of Vancouver.

“Featuring four storeys and an open concept design, we are very excited to see how the City uses this space to improve the arts and culture opportunities in the city,” says McRae. “This dedication to the arts is a theme throughout Tate on Howe from the luxuriantly designed common areas to the smallest of details.”

Tate on Howe is within walking distance to the night life in Yaletown, the shopping and dining on Robson Street, entertainment on Granville Street, and the beaches, marinas and seawall at Stanley Park.

Homes start at $268,000. For more information, check out tateonhowe.com, call 604-568-8283 or visit the presentation centre at 100-1265 Howe Street, open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.

Realtor makes most influential list FORT LANGLEY’S MICHAEL THORNE NAMED TO INMAN NEWS TOP 100

MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

In real estate circles, being named one of Inman News 100 most influential leaders is “huge,” said Fort Langley realtor Michael Thorne.

In late December, Thorne, a Re/Max agent with Little Oak Realty, was put on the prestigious list.

He, along with his partners Jorda Maisey (vice president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board) and Trisha Bongers, opened up their paperless boutique-style office in Fort Langley in 2011.

They are one of the only real estate offices in Canada who conduct business in a paperless way, using their iPads for everything.

Thorne said he was at home making his family’s traditional clam chowder on Christmas Eve when tweets and Facebook messages of congratulations started coming across his social media

feeds.

“I’ve been reading the Inman list for years,” said Thorne.

“It was totally unexpected. It blew my mind that I would be on it. I was beyond humbled to be recognized amongst the international powerhouse names on the list.”

He is one of only two Canadians on the list.

Among those chosen in 2013 are CEOs, the founder of Re/Max and industry giants based out of big American markets.

“I think being named to the list really validates for us that we are pushing the envelope at the reward of our clients,” said Thorne. He stressed that the recognition is for Maisey and Bongers too.

Thorne was also recognized by Inman News for his agent-targeted weekly online video show “Mobile Agent TV”, which he co-hosts with another agent based out of New

Jersey.

Together the two interview real estate leaders and offer insights and tips on how to keep up with technology in their industry.

“What we’ve found from Mobile Agent TV is the more we share the more you learn yourself.

“It’s a competitive industry we are in but I think this kind of sharing of information makes us all raise the bar,” he said.

To readers, Thorne is best known for being part of the popular My North Langley — a blog about the community of north Langley.

The blog, which has done fundraisers and events, has been up and running for three years and has more than 2,000 followers.

“I grew up on a farm in Walnut Grove when there were farms in Walnut Grove,” he laughed.

“I’ve lived here my whole life and it seems

He said being a realtor, he gets to connect with his community or introduce new people to his community every day.

He said at Little Oak Realty, they pride themselves on being on the cutting edge of the real estate industry, “which is changing and has changed rapidly.”

It grabbed the attention of potential buyers in a way that personalized the home, he said.

Their new website bchomeconsultants. com will be offering all sorts of information and “tons of videos” about Langley’s neighbourhoods and Langley living.

“When people are looking to buy, they pick the community first, then the neigh-

bourhood, then the home,” he said.

“A person wanting to live in Brookswood is very different from the person who prefers Willoughby.

“What we are also seeing is the younger generation looking to buy really wants amenities at their doorstep.

They want to walk to a coffee shop and have that recreation centre right near them.”

On tap at KPU Langley: the science of brewing A new program will be on tap in Langley this fall when Kwantlen Polytechnic University launches the first brewing and brewery operations program in British Columbia.

The two-year diploma is one of a few dozen in the world that gives students a full-bodied hands-on education in the science and business of brewing.

“We are so excited to be offering the first brewing diploma program in B.C.,” said Elizabeth Worobec, dean of the faculty of science and horticulture at KPU. “Along with practical hands-on training, we’ll be giving students a solid background in the science behind brewing craft beer, including the chemistry and microbiology involved in the process.

“It’s this much-needed expertise that graduates will bring to the province’s brewing industry.”

With only two comparable programs in the country, the university’s brewing and brewery operations diploma will set out to meet the craft beer industry’s demand for qualified and technically experienced employees.

Starting in September, 35 students will begin learning to brew from scratch at KPU Langley’s specially designed brew laboratory.

The program’s interdisciplinary course load will also train students in the psychology of sensory evaluation, finishing and packaging, business ethics and

program offerings to realize our polytechnic university mandate.

The brewing and brewery operations program satisfies both objectives,” said KPU president and vice-chancellor Dr. Alan Davis.

“This program demonstrates our ability to work with industry to quickly respond to the need to develop a skilled workforce for a growing sector.”

The program was partly created in response to the demand of B.C.’s craft brewing industry for qualified graduates.

With the provincial and national micro-brewing industry growing at a rate of 20 to 30 per cent, KPU’s brewing and brewery operations alumni will be met with new job opportunities in beer making, brewery and brewpub operations, retail and marketing. Some of those jobs will be close to home.

“With a program like this there is a great opportunity for Langley to be in the spotlight of the brewing revolution in B.C.,” said Derrick Smith, the founder and president of Aldergrove’s Dead Frog Brewery.

B.C. home sales bounce back House sales and prices were up for 2013, say the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA).

They report that a total of 72,936 residential sales were recorded by the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in B.C. during 2013, up 7.8 per cent from 2012.

The five-year average is 75,400 units, while the

10-year average is 84,800 units.

Total sales dollar volume was $39.2 billion, an increase of 12.6 per cent compared to 2012.

The average annual MLS residential price in the province rose to $537,414 last year, up 4.4 per cent from 2012.

“After declining nearly 12 per cent in 2012, home

sales posted steady growth through last year,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA Chief Economist.

“Greater Vancouver, Kamloops and Okanagan Mainline board areas posted the most significant changes, with home sales rising between 12.5 and 14 per cent.

Stronger consumer demand combined with fewer homes

listed for sale improved market conditions in most regions last year.”

In December, B.C. residential unit sales rose 47 per cent to 4,426 units, compared to December 2012.

Total dollar volume was 67.7 per cent higher at $2.5 billion, while the average MLS residential price rose 14.1 per cent to $568,416.

Callegari enjoying all-star season G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s

Five Hawks set to fly in all-star game

“I enjoy the face-offs and the coach utilizes me a lot to win them,” Callegari said.

“I appreciate that trust.”

This is Callegari’s second season with the Hawks and he has built nicely upon his rookie campaign which saw him score 13 goals and finish with 29 points in 38 games. His play earned him an invitation to the junior A camp of the Penticton Vees over the summer, before the coaching staff ultimately decided another season of major midget was in the best interest of Callegari’s development. He also briefly considered playing junior B with the Aldergrove Kodiaks — where he would have joined his older brother, Adam — but ultimately wound up back with the Hawks.

He said a major reason the Ko-

Five members of the Valley West Hawks will be suiting up in the 2014 B.C. Major Midget Hockey League all-star game.

A sixth was chosen but is unable to attend because of injury.

The game will be played tomorrow (Friday) night at the George Preston Recreation Centre with a 6 p.m. puck drop. Forty-two players were selected to take part.

The Hawks will be represented by Eric Callegari (Langley), Matt Bradley

diaks opportunity did not work was because of the practice schedule as the team typically hits the ice at 1:30 p.m., right near the end of the school day for the Grade 12 student at Brookswood Secondary.

Callegari has his sights set on junior A next year —he is an affiliated player with the Surrey Eagles — and knows he needs to add size to make the jump.

He has the height — he stands 5-foot-11 — but just needs to bulk up from his 150 pounds.

Spencer feels this is all within Callegari’s grasp — if he wants to.

“I think he has the ability, he just has to believe he can,” the coach said.

“Being a slighter player … he just needs to be more assertive.

“I totally think he is capable of being a leading goal scorer in this league.”

(Surrey) and Paul Savage (Surrey) on Team Blue while Kyle Cheema (Cloverdale) and Mitch Newsome (Surrey) are on Team White.

Devante Stephens is the injured Hawks player unable to play.

Hawks head coach Tom Spencer will be an assistant on Team White.

The Valley West team is made up of players from Langley, Cloverdale, White Rock and Surrey. The Hawks sit third in the 11-team league with a record of 17-10-1.

Eric Callegari is set to suit up in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League all-star game tomorrow (Friday) night at the George Preston Recreation Centre.

Most players would be happy to be producing at a point-pergame clip, but Eric Callegari readily admits that — in his opinion at least— he is not providing peak production.

Through 28 games this season for the Valley West Hawks, the 17-year-old centre is tied for second on the team with 22 assists and he has seven goals for 29 points.

“I am doing alright, but I think I should be doing better, honestly,” Callegari admitted.

“I want to get my point total up, I am not completely happy with it.”

But while Callegari may not be 100 per cent happy with his production, he is definitely doing things right on the ice in his second season with the Hawks as tomorrow night, Callegari will suit up in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League all-star game (see story below).

“He is one of our leaders,” said Hawks coach Tom Spencer, who will assist behind the bench at the all-star game.

“Day in and day out, he is there battling.

“He deserves (to be at the game) and hats off to him because he has earned it.”

“He will definitely show that he belongs out on the ice with all those guys,” the coach added.

“It is obviously an honour since the league is so skilled and there are so many high calibre players,” Callegari said.

“It should be fun.”

There is no question what Callegari brings to the team.

“He is a very skilled player, a playmaker, pass-first kind of guy,” Spencer said.

“A very responsible 200-foot player — very good in the (defensive) zone and very good on face-offs.”

And Callegari relishes the responsibilities of taking a key

Langley Rivermen’s Jakob Reichert tries to shield a loose puck against Chilliwack Chiefs’ Ben Butcher during the Rivermen’s 5-2 victory at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre on Jan. 11. Reichert scored twice in a 5-0 victory the game before between the two BCHL hockey clubs.

Rivermen book post-season spot

GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

Step one is done, and quite a few weeks earlier than anticipated.

But that does not mean the Langley Rivermen are going to take off the rest of the BCHL regular season.

“It is small milestone,” said Rivermen coach Bobby Henderson, on Tuesday morning.

He was referring to the fact his junior A hockey club had clinched a post-season berth over the weekend with a pair of victories in a homeand-home series with the Chilliwack Chiefs. The Rivermen won 5-0 on Friday at the Langley Events Centre and then 5-2 the next night at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre.

In the first game, Jakob Reichert scored twice and Brock Crossthwaite stopped all 22 shots he faced.

In the latter game, Langley scored three times in the second period to snap a 1-1 tie.

“It is nice to have it out of the way in January, but by no means is this our (end) goal,” Henderson said.

With the victories, Langley improved to 27-12-1-4 and 59 points, which is good for top spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division. The Rivermen are seven points clear of the second-place Prince George Spruce Kings, although the Kings have three games in hand.

The Rivermen have 14 games to go over the next six weeks before the playoffs, and five of their final seven are head-to-head against Prince George.

“All in all, we are happy with where we are sitting right now, but we just have to keep grinding through to the

WIN CONTEST!

finish line here,” Henderson said.

The team is on pace for 78 points.

They finished last year with 54 points in 56 games.

The key has been consistency.

“I think we have done a pretty good job of gathering points,” Henderson said.

Through the season’s first four and a half months, the Rivermen have only had three three-game winless streaks in that span, and in only one of those three, did they not manage to get either a tie or an overtime point.

The team is currently on a fivegame winning streak.

And Henderson said there is no worry the team will have lack of motivation down the stretch, especially with the Mainland Division title still up for grabs.

“We treat it just like we do every game,” he said.

“Our goal is to win every game, no excuses not to be prepared.”

This is the second consecutive season the Rivermen have made the playoffs.

Last year, they lost 3-1 to the Surrey Eagles in the best-of-five series.

The Eagles then went on to capture the Fred Page Cup as BCHL champs.

Spartans tame Cougar attack The Trinity Western Spartans resumed Canada West men’s volleyball league play with a pair of victories over the visiting Mount Royal College, improving to 13-1 on the season.

The Spartans, who are ranked second in the country, won 3-0 on Friday night and 3-1 on Saturday, with both matches at the Langley Events Centre.

They were forced to rally in the latter match after dropping the first set 31-29, but won three in a row — 25-13, 25-21 and 25-23 — for their sixth consecutive victory.

The Spartans used a balanced attack as at least four players earned nine kills, led

by Nick Del Bianco’s 15 kills.

Friday’s victory was the team’s most efficient volleyball of the season as they hit .514 as a team en route to the 3-0 (25-18,25-15,2519) victory. The team committed just three attack errors on 70 attempts.

Leading the way was Brad Kufske who had 12 kills and four aces.

“Our model is simple,” said Spartans coach Ben Josephson.

“We’re going to play really aggressive from

“It’s nice to have a team that can score so many points with our block,” said coach Ryan Hofer.

“We can’t take it for granted; those numbers are always going to be there, but we’ll take them when they are.”

The win was the team’s fifth in a row and they have also won eight of their last nine matches.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

This hi new Q50 llooks k great, has a wonderful interior, power to spare and solid handling dynamics.

Zack Spencer

Visit the Q50 photo gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

2014 Infiniti Q50 challenges the old order Infiniti has had a bit of an identity crisis over the past year with a wholesale change in the way it names its products.

Gone is the JX crossover, it’s called the QX60 now and the G 37 sedan has been replaced with the Q50 sedan. Q signifies for cars and QX for crossovers or SUVs. The outgoing G37 was already a very worthy on-road performer but a bit too simplistic in the inside. Now, Infiniti has taken things up a notch with the Q50, adding a dynamic look, sumptuous interior and class leading technology.

Looks It could be argued that the current BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class are a bit conservative, while this Q50 and the major competitor, Lexus IS, are much edgier. This is especially true with the front grille. The rest of the Q50 is nicely sculpted, with flowing lines and an almost elegant rear end. Sold as a base model, sport trim, all wheel drive (AWD), premium, and even a hybrid, there is a broad market for this sedan.

Starting at $37,500 and ramping up to the AWD sport model at $49,950, there is a substantial discount with the Q50 when you compare it to a similarly equipped BMW. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels but most of the higher trim levels are equipped with 19-inch wheels. The car seen here is the AWD premium model starting at $43,400.

Inside The Q50 centre console is very attractive with two screens placed for radio functions and the second for the

navigation ($1,400 option) opt for the AWD model, and backup camera. The which is a good choice way the lower screen is due to the higher level incorporated is first rate; of interior amenities. it looks like a high quality In addition, the Q50 is iPad that sits flush with the first car to have a the dash, while the higher steer-by-wire system screen is recessed for easier that is customizable and use in bright light. this system is optional Direct Adaptive The only problem with on the AWD models and Steering has its this system is the time it standard on the sport takes to boot-up when critics but for me, the versions of the Q50. you start the car over 30 Direct Adaptive Steering Q50 feels like it is seconds to access the radio has its critics but for an extension of the and other features.

Verdict The benchmark in the premium compact sedan market has been the BMW 3 Series but the gap is narrowing. This new Q50 looks great, has a wonderful interior, power to spare and solid

handling dynamics.

On price, the BMW 328i AWD is the closest and starts at $46,200 but is equipped with a 241hp 4-cylinder. The direct competitor on power is the much more expensive 335is AWD. The Lexus IS350 AWD is another premium offering from Japan, and it starts at a very competitive $44,000. As much as the Japanese automakers like to challenge the German makers, they really end up competing with each other.

Yes, this is a worthy car but the one thing you cannot factor into the buying decision is the badge appeal that storied brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi provide.

OF THE WEEK:

What is your favourite brand of car and what model specifically do you like?

Please explain why you have made that decision.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Go to drivewayBC.ca to submit your answer.

Safety Tip: When extreme winter road conditions hit, it’s a good idea to think about whether you even need to get behind the wheel.

If you have the option, consider public transit or carpool with some who has a vehicle prepared for the conditions. Also consider leaving for work just a little later to allow crews to clear the roads.

Off-road performance with on-road comforts The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid is on a quest, to get your family where you need to go on as little fuel as possible.

Looks: One of the biggest changes last year was the switch from body-on-frame to a unibody construction. This reduced the overall weight, which makes a big difference on the fuel economy. The shape and design characteristics of this truck have changed, much smoother lines, and more aerodynamic.

I remember the first Pathfinder introduced in 1986 and aimed at capturing some of the Toyota 4runner buyers. It looked promising but never completely took off. I think the focus was more on the off-road when it should have been more on-road with the ability to travel off-road. This version has done this, taking design cues and comfort from the Nissan Rogue and creat-

ing a larger crossover capable of transporting seven.

In The Cab: My tester was the Platinum edition. It came equipped with leather seats with 8 way power adjustability, 4 way power for the front pas- Ian Harwood senger, EZ flex seating system with 2nd row 60/40 split fold-flat bench seat, and 3rd row 50/50 split fold flat reclining bench seat.

The leather wrapped steering wheel is heated and is a nice feature. There is plenty of wood tone trim but it is not overdone, giving it a rich feel.

Drives-U-Crazy CURB LANE CRAZIES

Did somebody change the curb lane into the fast lane and not tell me?

A day never passes when I don’t see drivers zipping down major drags in the curb lane, cutting in at the last second to avoid piling into a parked car. As soon as they’re past the obstacle they’re back in the gutter lane, spraying every poor pedestrian along the way.

What drives-u-crazy. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

sensitive volume control and just some of the comforts you will find in the Pathfinder Platinum.

The around view monitor uses four cameras to create a composite image from above and displays it on the touch screen monitor. This helps show the vehicle’s position relative to the lines around the parking space and guides you in easily.

Safety first: Nissan’s advanced airbag system includes, dual stage front airbags, driver and front passenger seat mounted side impact, and roof mounted curtain side impact airbags with rollover sensor. Traction control (TSC) and vehicle dynamic control (VDC) are standard on all models.

Power: The engine is a 2.5-litre 4 cylinder with a 15kw, power regenerating electric motor, powered by lithium-ion cells and a dual clutch system that transfers power from the electric motor and the engine.

This system generates 250 hp. The transmission is Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) The All-mode 4x4 I-system allows select ability between 2WD, Auto, or 4WD lock. An independent front strut and multi-link rear gives the vehicle a comfort-

able ride.

Pump frequency: 7.8/7.1 L/100 km (city/highway) as tested Warranty support: Basic coverage 3year/ 60,000 kms Powertrain 5 years/100,000 kms Corrosion surface 3 years/ 60,000 kms Roadworthy: This vehicle does remind me of the Nissan Rogue. It is larger but feels very similar and that’s a good thing.

I think Nissan is heading in the right direction with this vehicle. If studies show limited use off-road, then why spend money making this an off-road vehicle? It has the ability to drive down a gravel road or up to the ski hill but Nissan has made sure it is also as comfortable as a road car and as fuel-efficient as it can be.

Verdict: I think Nissan thought outside of the box on this one and was not afraid to start fresh and create something new.

The Chevrolet Cruze was already a winner in Europe and Asia, before it cruised into Canada for the 2011 model year.

Cruze continued its winning ways by adding the prestigious 2011 Canadian Car of the Year Award, presented by the Automobile Journalist’s Association of Canada (AJAC) to its trophy cabinet.

The base LS edition of Cruze comes with a 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine and the Eco, LT and LTZ editions come with a Ecotec 1.4-litre turbocharged-four that delivers more power at low engine speeds, yet provides similar fuel economy. The transmission choice offered was either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.

Clever aero tweaks, including active front grille shutters, help the Cruze Eco slice through air on low rolling-resistance tires.

Weight saving initiatives (right down to the size and location of body welds) also trim 97 kg (214 lbs.) from its total body mass. A taller sixth overdrive gear allows additional highway fuel savings and an impressive official FE rating of 7.8/5.4

Cruze is probably the best compact car ever made by Chevrolet.

Price Check: 2011 to 2013 Chevrolet Cruze (January 2014) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2011 LT turbo $11,000 to $14,000 2012 LT turbo $13,000 to $16,000 2013 LT turbo $15,000 to $18,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history.

A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Safety Recalls: 2011 to 2013 Chevrolet Cruze: 2011- The steering wheel may have been improperly fastened and could loosen and eventually separate.

Dealers will inspect the steering wheel fastener bolt and repair if necessary.

2011 - The automatic transmission shift linkage may not accurately reflect the actual transmission gear selection. This could allow the driver to move the

shifter to PARK and remove the ignition key, even if the transmission gear is not in the PARK position. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, adjust the transmission shift linkage.

2011 - The bolt attaching the intermediate steering shaft to the steering gear input shaft may not have been properly installed. If the joint separates and a loss of steering function would result. Dealers will inspect and ensure that the bolt is fully seated and the shaft is properly assembled.

2011/2012 - Oil spilt during an oil change, or hydraulic fluid expelled from a clutch housing vent hole, could contact a hot engine shield

and cause it to ignite and burn. Dealers will modify the engine shield to prevent fluid from contacting the shield.

2011/2012 - Welds may have been omitted from the fuel tank mounting brackets could allow fuel leakage to occur in the event of a severe side impact crash.

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, secure the fuel tank brackets using fasteners.

2011/2012 – In vehicles equipped with the 1.4L turbo engine and automatic transmission, a supplemental electric vacuum pump may not function as designed. This could result in an intermittent

reduction or loss of brake power assist and increase stopping distances. Dealers will replace a micro-switch in the power brake vacuum pipe assembly.

2012 - The primary stage of the driver’s airbag may not deploy during a crash and increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.

Dealers will replace the steering wheel airbag coil.

2013 - In vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the passenger side halfshaft may fracture and separate, which would result in a loss of motive power.

Dealers will replace affected halfshafts. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Road hogs cause motoring mayhem on Texas autobahn Austin, Texas: Road hogs are a common sight at dusk here on the so-called Texas autobahn.

I’m not talking about those crazy drivers transported by four-wheeled vehicles but those of the four-legged variety – boars!

And just like the two-legged, lead-footed variety, the cloven-hoofed wild pigs cause crashes – four bad smashes on the first night that the high speed State Highway 130 toll road opened back in October 2012.

Last week, I wrote about a drive on the nospeed limit autobahn from Munich to Berlin. The piece was prompted In terms of scenic by the recent interest, it is as Insights West/ Black Press disapointing as a mild poll about increasing chilli pepper in a bowl speed limits on highways of Tex-Mex. Keith Morgan in BC. I just had to try out the North American equivalent of the autobahn with its 85 mph limit (approximately 137 km/h) and here are my observations.

After driving a sporty Audi S6 on the toll highway from Austin on a day trip to San Antonio, I think there must have been more boars than cars on the route for long stretches. It was a lonely daytime drive in the S6 with very few cars passing in either direction. In terms of scenic interest, it is as disappointing as a mild chilli pepper in a bowl of Tex-Mex. It’s not that the tolls are high on the 65-kilometre stretch I travelled on the 210-kilometre route – less than $10, under $30 for commercial trucks. It’s just that the 85 mph limit is just not fast enough to encourage people to use it for what is a fairly short distance between those two major centres. And that’s especially so, when the posted speed limit on the regular tollfree state highways was raised to 75 mph (120 km/h) shortly after the turnpike was opened. The main section is also well to the east of Austin so there was a trek before I could unleash the horses under the hood.

It would help to hike the limit another 10 mph (16 km/h): It’s a very well-engineered road and I can’t see that causing carnage. At the risk of attracting the interest of a Texan posse bent on a hanging, I might suggest that a reduction of the limit in the same magnitude on the regular highways might dramatically increase custom along the way.

The only positive I can say is that I maintained the top legal speed for the length of the trip, which, as I reported last week, was impossible on the congested no-speed limit autobahn between Munich and Berlin.

The growing network of toll roads in central Texas may have the highest speed limits in the nation but unless they ultimately stretch to Houston and/or Corpus Christi on the Gulf coast, it’s hard to imagine the operators emerging from the billion-dollar financial quagmire.

The Department of Transportation has ended a rebate that had allowed trucks to use the road for the same price as cars since last April. That disincentive is likely to increase the red ink. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Secrets of the original Volkswagen Beetle The original air-cooled VW Beetle lasted an incredible 58 years in production, during which time it was fundamentally unchanged.

It’s a record that will likely never be approached, let alone broken. Although nearly everyone of a certain age has at least one Beetle story or fond memory, there are a few things still not generally known about the beloved car.

Here are five noteworthy facts: 1. The original classic Beetle didn’t leave production until 2003, although it was last sold in North America in 1979 (by which time the water-cooled Rabbit had replaced it), the original air-cooled Beetle was produced in Puebla, Mexico, until 2003. It’s essentially identical to the cars produced in Germany for export to the U.S.

in the 1970s.

2. The original Beetle was the brainchild of Adolf Hitler. Keen to put ordinary Germans

‘‘

The Beetle was the subject of one of the most influential ad campaigns of the 20th century.

Rob Sass

’’

on the newly constructed autobahn superhighways in their own cars, a subsidized savings plan involving a coupon booklet was devised. When a family filled their booklet, they were supposed to get their car. WWII intervened and all prewar Beetle deliveries were limited to Nazi party officials. Private owners didn’t get their hands on a Beetle until

after the war.

3. Germans don’t remember it as fondly as we do because of its connection with the dictator who brought ruin to their country.

And it serves as a reminder of the lean times before the West German economic miracle took hold meaning post-war Germans don’t have the same warm and fuzzy feelings about the Beetle that American ex-hippies do.

4. The Beetle may have been inexpensive, but it was never cheap.

Gaps were tight and doors sealed well.

Additionally, it was a unibody car with a very flat floor with few openings. All of this meant that the car would actually float for at least several minutes after hitting the water before turning into a small sub!

5. The Beetle was the subject of one of the most influential ad

campaigns of the 20th century. Most recently lampooned on the TV show “Mad Men,” it was among the first national campaigns to utilize irony and

self-deprecating wit. A tiny black-and-white photo of a Beetle in a sea of white space with only the headline “Think Small” was the first of the ads

introduced in 1959 by the agency Doyle Dane Bernbach.

VOISEY, Alice Wilma April 21, 1926-January 7, 2014

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION

The family prospered in Prince Rupert, working in the mshing and restaurant industries, driven in large part by the enterprising and hard working spirit of Teresa. She taught herself English, worked 3 jobs to support the family when her husband suffered a workplace injury, and rose from the ranks of dishwasher to become a wellregarded chef at the best restaurant (Crest) in northern British Columbia. Teresa was uniquely skilled in the kitchen. She did not just cook, she created great food – to the great delight of her customers and her family.

After her husband passed away in 1992, Teresa moved to Langley and lived with her daughter Adriana and her family. She became active in the Langley seniors centre and made many new friends due to her gregarious personality and her kind and generous heart.

She took cruises, traveled to Las Vegas, made arts and crafts, invented quilt patterns, knitted scarves and made pottery.

The family would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to all of Teresa’s friends, and the staff at the Cedar Hill extended care facility and the many nurses and doctors at Langley Hospital.

A celebration of Teresa’s life will be held on Saturday, January 18th at the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 20676 Fraser Highway, Langley, BC at 10am, followed by a reception in the Parish Hall.

The internment ceremony will be at 2pm on Saturday January 18th, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park at 3789 Royal Oak Avenue in Burnaby, BC. There will also be a prayer service and viewing at St. Joseph’s on Friday evening at 8pm.
