An overflow crowd filled Township council chambers on Monday (March 3) for the first public hearing on the Brookswood/Fernridge community plan, forcing a postponement and relocation to a roomier venue at George Preston Recreation Centre.

Brookswood public hearing runs three nights REVIEW OF PROPOSED PLAN RELOCATED TO ARENA BECAUSE OF OVERCROWDING DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The review of a proposed plan that would increase housing density in the Brookswood/Fernridge area ran three nights after Township council chambers were overwhelmed by a bigger-than-expected turnout on the first night. Less than an hour after it began, the Monday hearing was adjourned and

moved to the George Preston arena, after nearly 400 people tried to squeeze into a council audience space designed for half that number. It was standing room only, with many in the foyer outside the chambers unable to hear the proceedings because a video and audio feed wasn’t working properly. Their frustration was evident, with several complaining they couldn’t hear the

speakers. Mayor Jack Froese announced the decision after taking a brief recess. “The room is way too full, we’re above fire code [safe occupancy limits] and I’m concerned about people’s safety,” Froese said. The truncated hearing did hear from a representative of the company that paid for the overhaul of the community plan

that would, if approved, increase housing density in the Brooks/Fernridge area. Cameron Gair, president of the Griffith Neighborhood Advisory Corporation, said there were 10 shareholders in the business, all of them “long-term” land owners. Gair defended the proposal to increase density, saying “it [the plan] has fewer units per acre than Murrayville.” Continued Page 5

Fire crews at full strength, except for holidays, illness DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Langley Township fire crews can run at full strength only if no one gets sick, Township Fire Chief Stephen Gamble told council Monday. Whenever two Township firefighters go on vacation and one other becomes ill, crews drop below the industry standard minimum of four, Gamble said. “We can have four guys on a truck if no one gets sick,” Gamble said. The chief was providing a more detailed analysis of numbers showing every one of the four Langley Township fire halls with full-time firefighters will be under the minimum at different times this year. The worst situation is in Aldergrove Fire Hall No. 3. From Aug. 4 until Aug. 19, every one of the four shifts in Aldergrove will be operating with three-person crews. Gamble said that is because two of the firefighters in the hall are off on long term disability, and

there aren’t enough available firefighters to shuffle around to cover for them all the time. Falling below the minimum does not mean increased risk to the firefighters, but it can mean a longer wait before firefighters can enter a burning building because a three-man crew is too small to meet a “two in, two out” safety rule that forbids them from going in alone. Gamble said in an emergency, safety rules allow firefighters to go inside even if they don’t have a full crew, but only briefly. “We can make an entry, but we have to be out of the building in 10 minutes,” Gamble said. “And that’s not a lot of time.” He said he could use a “few more bodies” on each shift to maintain crew levels. The fire chief added the crewing problem will become “slightly worse” if no additional firefighters are hired, because people with increased seniority will become entitled to longer holidays. Gamble said he is a “little worried” about what will happen with sick leaves this year.

Langley man arrested after crash DAN FERGUSON Langley Times

Snow blanketed the Handley Page Hampden airplane at the Canadian Museum of Flight Sunday. The museum is holding its “help raise the roof” dinner and auction fundraiser on Saturday, March 15. Tickets are available at the gift shop.

Police have arrested a 31-year-old Langley man who drove into another car, sending two people to the hospital, and then took off. At about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, a grey Nissan Sentra was heading eastbound on Fraser Highway, when a white Dodge Charger travelling on 170 Street slammed into the rear end of it. The impact sent the Sentra over the median into oncoming traffic, causing a black Ford 350

truck to slam into the rear end of the vehicle. Two people from the Sentra were sent to hospital. They are expected to make a full recovery. The driver of the Charger took off. Soon after the collision, Langley RCMP arrested the man police believe is responsible for the crash. Police expect to recommend charges of dangerous operation of a vehicle and failure to remain at the scene of an accident.

Homeless count takes place next Tuesday and Wednesday MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Volunteers and outreach workers will take to the streets, bridges and known places where homeless people will be on Tuesday night, March 11 and Wednesday, March 12 for the 2014 Metro Vancouver Homeless Count. Fraser Holland, Langley’s homeless outreach program manager, predicts that Langley will once again see an increase in the homeless population. Some of this is due to the situation happening in Abbotsford, he said. There a bylaw prohibiting homeless camps has been strictly enforced along with strong crime prevention policy enacted by Abbotsford

Police, said Holland. This has encouraged many homeless people to move on and into Langley and other neighbouring communities, he said. The count is a 24-hour snapshot that is done every three years. The results help policy makers and community agencies fund programs and services. The last count in 2011 had some staggering numbers for Langley. According to the 2011 report, Langley has had the largest percentage increase

FRASER HOLLAND

of homeless people since the count started in 2002. From the 2008 to the 2011 count, Langley had the second highest increase in Metro Vancouver. Holland said, based on those statistics, the province funded the outreach program, hiring an additional full-time outreach worker in 2012, and opening of the Starting Point Outreach Services office in Langley City. Outreach has worked with more than 1,500 homeless people, connecting them to

services, housing, financing and medical help. The homeless count also directed the need for a homeless shelter and that led to the opening of the Gateway of Hope in 2009. Holland has long been speaking about his concern for the number of aging homeless people in Langley. “In the last two months, Starting Point Outreach has worked with 84 people aged 55 and older,” he said. The challenge with older people who are homeless is they have more historical issues, physically and cognitively, and there is also often a lack of family support.

For that crime, which resulted in the 19-year-old victim having to learn how to walk, talk and eat again, he was sentenced to 18 months in jail last April. But before Bryant pleaded guilty to that charge of assault, he was charged with trying to

obstruct justice in that case. Bryant along with Wright were charged with that offence on March 18, 2013. He pleaded guilty to the bat attack in April after being charged, and has been in jail ever since.

Supporters outnumbered 2-1 at Tuesday hearing From Page 1

An opponent of the plan who only gave her name as Anna R. for “personal security reasons” said Brookswood residents don’t want multi-family dwellings. “There are plenty of townhouses and row houses to choose from elsewhere,” she said. When the hearing resumed on Tuesday night, Mayor Froese opened by expressing his regret for the sudden shift of venue. “I really want to apologize for last night,” Froese said. Critics of the plan dominated the second evening, with roughly two opponents for every supporter. People who opposed the plan said it will mean excessive density and will destroy the character of the semi-rural area. Supporters said the 1987 plan needs updating and the new proposal will preserve Brookswood’s character while opening up the area to less-pricey multi-unit housing. Many of the speakers against the plan cited the Willoughby area of Langley as an example of excessive housing

as a “slate” as he demanded they “listen to the vocal majority” and reject the plan. Gord Van Dokkumburg, president of the Langley Rod and Gun club said the club has no plan to sell its site to developers. “We do not have an interest in relocating,” Van Dokkumburg said, adding “Our 38 acres of trees and green space are not for sale at any price.” Two representatives

of the Shoppers’ Drug Mart chain also spoke against the plan, unhappy that it will change the property the company owns at the corner of 34 Avenue and 200 Street from commercial into mixed-used and multi-family-residential zoning. At The Times press time, 61 people had spoken. About half a dozen more were on the list to speak the morn-

ing of the Wednesday night hearing, but that number was expected to rise before the meeting began. The Brookswood plan will come back to council for debate at the March 31 evening meeting. Next week, another long hearing is expected, this one on the controversial Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley. It is set to begin on March 10 at 7 p.m. in council chambers.

Mayor Jack Froese gets on the phone during a recess called to decide how to handle the overflow crowd who filled Township council chambers on Monday. density. “If we don’t approach Brookswood in a different way, we’re going to have another Willoughby,” said Bob Langston. “We don’t want Brookswood/Fernridge to become another Willoughby,” Kirk Roberts said. “If we keep going on the way we are now, we’re all going to live in matchboxes,” said Colleen Vandervegte. Jackie Mandzak predicted disaster, saying the plan will mean “tall, narrow houses with postage stamp-

sized yards.” “Why do we need this density?” asked Jeff Clegg, who predicted the plan would lead to “wholesale clear-cutting.” A number of residents were not happy that the plan has been paid for by property owners. Erin Pasternak said the owners were out to “fiscally pillage” the area. “They have very little interest in our community,” Pasternak said. Zosia Ettenberg said she is concerned that council is simply going

through the motions and a decision has already been made. “I am concerned that we are not being listened to,” Ettenberg said. Supporter Brian Canfield said rejecting the plan will not stop density in Brookswood. “I say now is the time to embrace change,” Canfield said. “It is not the end of the world,” said plan supporter James Chen.

Religious freedom at stake in law school fight – TWU UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT POSTS ONLINE VIDEO SAYING RECENTLY-APPROVED SCHOOL FACES “WELL-ORCHESTRATED LOBBYING CAMPAIGN” TO REVERSE DECISION DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The fight over a planned law school at Trinity Western University in Langley is a battle for religious freedom, university president Bob Kuhn says in a video message to supporters posted on the TWU website. In the recorded statement, Kuhn says the evangelical Christian

university is facing “significant opposition” that seeks to overturn the December approval of the law school by the Federation of Law Societies, the group that represents provincial law societies, and the BC Ministry of Advanced Education. Kuhn says critics who complain the private university is anti-gay have mounted

“a well-orchestrated lobbying campaign” to convince provincial law societies to reject the Trinity Western law school despite approval by the national federation. “The opposition to Trinity Western’s School of Law is very large and loud, well organized, motivated, and single-minded,” says Kuhn, who goes

on to say the real issue is one of religious freedom. “At its root, this national debate is about whether religious institutions and communities will be free to hold and express religious beliefs without being excluded from the public marketplace,” Kuhn adds. “In the end, this is not simply a matter of

whether TWU opens a law school; this strikes at the very heart of religious freedom in Canada.” Kuhn urges TWU supporters to “stand with us, to pray with us and support Trinity Western in whatever ways you can.” He also refers to the 2001 Supreme Court of Canada ruling that upheld Trinity’s right to re-

y e l g n a L t r o F Do you love Fort Langley? Most people get a special feeling when strolling down the streets of Fort Langley. Small town, quaint, nostalgic, unique and historic are words we hear a lot when people describe Fort Langley. Our community has worked hard to protect our downtown core’s historic atmosphere by creating and adhering to rules regarding development within our Heritage Conservation Area. We need your help to convince our elected Township Council it is important Fort Langley retains its historic culture and small scale village atmosphere by not changing the Fort Langley Community Plan and heritage conservation area rules for one development. This is spot zoning and a change In our community plan without a Township hosted open house to gather community input. It is up to our council to vote for or against a three storey, 46’ 10” tall, 41,858 square foot building and at the same time alter our community plan This development will be the largest in all of Fort Langley and overwhelm and dominate our streetscape and the change in the community plan will end the height limits currently in place. Please think about why you love Fort Langley and how allowing a building of this size will forever change what is so special about our small town. This is not about saying no to development or a fight against one building, this is about standing up and protecting what so many have worked so hard to preserve for our future generations. Please help us protect the rules which will develop Fort Langley in the scale and heritage theme it was intended to be and agreed upon by our community.

quire students and staff to sign a Community Covenant that, among other things, requires them to abstain from “sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman.” The high court declared that TWU “is a private institution that is exempted, in part, from the B.C. human rights legislation and to which the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not apply” and went on to say that the university can believe what it wants about gay people so long as it doesn’t actually discriminate against them. “We do not want to spend time, energy and resources in another courtroom battle only to prove that the law still allows these rights,” Kuhn says, adding “it is not just a Christian law school that is at stake, the religious freedom of Canadian Christians, as well as followers of other religions, is in peril.” The Kuhn message

was posted on Feb. 4, shortly after the faculty council of the law school at the University of B.C. came out against the TWU law school, publicly calling on the Law Society of B.C. to review the approval by the federation, which represents all provincial law societies in Canada. “We encourage the Law Society to look fully at the conflict between TWU’s Community Covenant Agreement and a lawyer’s obligation of non-discrimination,” professor Margot Young said in a written statement. “As a result of the Community Covenant Agreement, lawyers employed by TWU as staff or faculty may be forced to choose between enforcing the TWU’s Covenant Agreement and complying with BC’s Code of Professional Conduct, which requires non-discrimination.” The Code states that a “lawyer must not disContinued Page 7

Caught by surprise

we

Published Tuesday and Thursday at 20258 Fraser Highway, Langley, B.C., V3A 4E6 by Black Press Ltd. Sales agreement No. 3298280. Contents copyright of Black Press.

Langley Township council was clearly caught by surprise when 400 people showed up Monday for a public hearing on the revised Brookswood-Fernridge community plan. Yet there were a number of signs of brewing discontent with this plan. An open house at Fernridge Hall attracted a crowd that was too much for the building, and almost had to be postponed. Another open house was then scheduled at Brookswood Secondary, and it attracted more than 500 people, the highest number to ever attend an open house sponsored by the Township. It isn’t surprising that many people showed up to speak on the plan at the formal public hearing. Nor is it surprising that many more want to hear what the speakers, and members of council, have to say. A second session for the public hearing took place Tuesday at George Preston Recreation Centre, and that isn’t the end of it. The hearing was scheduled to continue on Wednesday night. As of Tuesday night, more than 60 people had spoken. Langley Township council needs to listen carefully to the concerns raised by people about the plan. While there is no question that development will come to the area eventually, perhaps this plan calls for too much density in some areas. And there is no doubt that many current residents of the area want to preserve larger lots and the mature evergreen trees which are a hallmark of that part of South Langley. The involvement of a private corporation in advancing the plan’s timetable is also questionable, and suggests developers can use money to get the plans they want. Council must attempt to balance many competing ideas about the future of Brookswood and Fernridge.

Question langeytimes.com

of the week

Do you support urbanization of Brookswood and Fernridge?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

With any controversial development or project, it seems inevitable that some opponents will complain of not being informed or consulted earlier. In the case of the Abbotsford Community Services (ACS) homeless supportive housing proposal, official notice was issued in June 2013. That timing was determined by BC Housing, which lifts the confidentiality lid when final details are in place and projects such as this are ready to proceed to the public process. Considering it took the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association and other opponents mere days after the announcement to issue vehement protest over the plan and eventually convince four civic politicians to vote against it, we wonder what difference earlier notification would have made, other than ACS possibly having fewer detailed answers to specific questions. Some would say time to find an alternate location, yet the provincial funding was not open-ended. It was specifically approved for this proposal, which relied on land being donated by ACS. Another site would have been a return to square one and more delay, which is where the issue now sits. After council’s tie vote killed the housing project, the land came off the table, and we fear so has the money. A future alternative will require city-donated property and a different, more expensive operational budget, since another location is not going to be situated next to the support services required by the shelter occupants, available at ACS. The city was involved in the ACS proposal for years, beginning with a 2008 memorandum of understanding with the provincial government to create supportive housing. There were no surprises for the city here, and time was provided for public consultation as per BC Housing’s criteria. The process unfolded as it did with two previous similar facilities. Sources indicate Fraser Health response to the hope of relocating this project on the former MSA Hospital property on McCallum Road is not encouraging. Neither are recent words from BC Housing, which thinly veil exasperation with the City of Abbotsford. Closing the door on the ACS homeless housing proposal was an unfortunate decision resulting in more inaction — the impact of which will be seen and felt for years. — Abbotsford News

Sky’s No Limit for women this Saturday at airport Editor: Thank you, Monique Tamminga, for the wonderful front page article (The Times, Feb. 25) on what promises to be one of the most exciting aviation events ever to touch down in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. On Saturday and Sunday, March 8 and 9, hundreds of girls and women who have likely never flown in small planes before, will take off from Langley Regional Airport for a spin in The Sky’s No Limit — Girls Fly Too! International Women’s Day has been celebrated since 1911, but for women in the aviation and aerospace industries, this date has even earlier significance as the anniversary of the first licensed female pilot worldwide (March 8, 1910). The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too! is a unique event designed to inspire women and girls’ interest in the aviation industry by taking them up in the air to experience firsthand the joy of flight and giving them an interactive introduction to the aviation industry. From 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., I and other female aviators will pilot helicopters and fixed-wing craft to take hundreds of girls and women — we are anticipating around 1,500 — for free flights above Langley. Members of renowned Fraser Blues Formation Demonstration Team will be among the pilots. To be eligible, passengers cannot have flown before in a small plane; commercial airline flights are OK. But while the free flights are for eligible females only, the entire community — guys too — is invited to explore aircraft, meet the crews, visit with outstanding women in the aviation industry, and enjoy educational activities, contests, and displays. I have been a bush pilot for more than 20 years, and my goal is to encourage more girls and women to think about working in a fascinating and lucrative industry that has traditionally been dominated by males. I hope that this event will inspire women and girls to seriously think about careers as pilots, air traffic

KIRSTEN BRAZIER controllers, mechanics, or aeronautical engineers. As a matter of interest, less than two per cent of aircraft maintenance engineers are women and less than six per cent of commercial pilots are women. In the Royal Canadian Air Force, about three per cent are women, and among aerospace engineers, less than 10 per cent are women. The pace at which people have registered is exhilarating, but there are still a few days for people to register at www.girlsfly2.ca. In 2012, this event won the Yellowknife Airport the title of ‘Most‐Female‐Pilot‐Friendly Airport Worldwide’ and became the largest single event of its kind in the history of Women of Aviation Worldwide Week. (WOAW is a global outreach initiative centered around International Women’s Day and promotes the advancement of women in the aviation and aerospace industries). Last year, the Yellowknife event won five international awards, welcomed more than 2,300 participants, and introduced 634 girls and women to flight, courtesy of local sponsors. I’m expecting 1,500 passengers and as many as 3,500 other participants at Langley Regional Airport, and anticipate that this will be the largest event of its kind ever held in Canada.

Township council betrays us Editor: The process for the Brookswood Fernridge Community Plan Update Bylaws 5057 and 5058 has shown that the Township of Langley’s mayor and council run more of a dictatorship role than a democracy. They are supposed to be there for the people of the Township. They are not. The notice of the public hearing was sent to 5,000 people. What did they expect? They were not ready. The new sound system did not work, how convenient. This was a public hearing for the people. The mayor stated that it only mattered that council members heard the comments. The mayor and council have turned a deaf ear to the people who live in Brookswood and Fernridge, and focus solely on the landowners who want to make the big bucks. These days, no matter what level of government, the “powers to be” feel the need to leave a legacy of themselves behind, regardless of the damage done in the process. I know many people who have voiced their concerns and opinions, only to be told it doesn’t matter, this is going through. Come on Township residents, wake up, this or

something similar could soon happen to you. What are they talking about developing in Aldergrove? Do you want a repeat of this situation? Remember a past quote that the mayor and council will do what they want, not what you want. This mayor and council are only here for their personal interests, not yours. Once Brookswood and Fernridge are developed and unrecognizable, maybe the Township should install new signs welcoming people to the Destruction of Langley, because soon everything that has made Langley unique (including Glen Valley) will have been destroyed. Shame on Councillor Bob Long for his Facebook comments. What a slap in the face to these people. It’s disrespect at its finest — telling them to set up a booth and do fundraising for whatever event they have as there will be plenty of people on hand for the Tuesday hearing. He doesn’t deserve to sit on council after making a comment like that. Maybe he should focus on improving the quality of living in Aldergrove. COLLEEN VAN LEERSUM, LANGLEY

Tirades are not appreciated

Editor: Clearly influence was involved in the poor display and tirades of Councillors Bob Long and David Davis at the Feb. 24 Township council meeting, regarding Coulter Berry. Until now, Long has had a public wishy-washy stance on Coulter Berry, but he was like a bull seeing red. His displeasure on the subject was hidden behind a weird talking point about lowering the corner of the building. Really? Send back the design and draw out the process to lower the corner regardless of the grade of the land? Considering Long is chair of the Township’s Heritage Advisory Committee, where the vocal chair of the Langley Heritage Society also sits, he has clearly been influenced. Given his weak and bizarre complaints about the proposal, this is clearly a Fort Langley issue and not a development issue. I guarantee Long would not have an issue with Coulter Berry’s corner height if this

building was in his Aldergrove. And then there is Davis’s ramblings about process and bylaws, that sounded like they were a copy and paste from the Facebook site dedicated to the spread of misrepresentation on the very topic of process and bylaws. Either that or Davis has been reading disgruntled former mayor Rick Green’s atrocious sour grapes blog. Do your own research and the truth will prevail. I assume that is why Long didn’t argue those points in voting “no” to going to a public hearing. I don’t appreciate elected officials who are clearly the puppets of other people’s agendas, or elected officials who have vendettas against the village that is the Birthplace of B.C. We need officials who understand process and who have the best in mind for all of Langley, and not just their own corner of Langley. SUSAN T. MORRIS, LANGLEY

Apartheid seems a lesser evil

Editor: When I was a teacher in South Africa, during the Apartheid era, under a fascist, non-democratic government, where I was a second-class citizen restricted in all aspects of my life because of the colour of my skin, I got 13 paycheques a year — a double paycheque in my birth month and a yearly increment in salary. As a teacher, I was afforded a lot of respect and support by the parents of my students and

the community at large. These days as a teacher in B.C., working under Apartheid seems like the lesser evil when I look at the trampling of my constitutional rights, the vilification of teachers in the media and the absolute contempt this government has for the work I do with and for the children of our province.

International program expands to include European market MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

It isn’t in Canadian culture to send our children abroad to school, but North America is the exception in the world, and that’s a good thing for school districts. International students are a large component of revenue for school districts and Langley welcomed more than 530 this year. ISP director Barry Bunyan and district vice principal Mark Leiper, who market the program across the world, were in front of the board of education on Feb. 25 explaining how they are looking to grow and diversify the program. The pair travel to more than 14 countries a year, marketing

Langley’s program at fairs and schools in hopes it will draw more students. This year, with a focus on diversifying, they increased the number of students coming from European countries by 118 per cent. They were in Vietnam and have secured some students from there, too. “Everyone in the world knows Vancouver as a place, but very few know of Langley,” said Bunyan. But Canada has a reputation for excellence in education so it is a highly sought after country for parents to send their children to be educated. Many stay to graduate, with 100 per cent of international students attending post secondary, at UBC, SFU and other locations.

In Langley, it has long been a tradition for the majority of international students to come from Korea and China. In fact, this year: Korea brought 237 students to Langley, China, 202, Japan, 95, Germany, 25, Brazil, 12, Spain, 11, others, 23, Students coming from various parts of Europe now, including Italy, Turkey and the Ukraine. “We think it’s really important for our student population to meet international students from a wide variety of countries and cultures,” said Bunyan. Bunyan said that studies are saying the international student exchange to Canada is set to explode in the next three years.

Just two members of the public chose to speak about the City’s 2014 financial plan, when given the opportunity on Feb. 17. But that’s still twice as many as attended the budget open house on Wednesday, Feb. 5. Before addressing the proposed 2.71 per cent tax increase homeowners in the City of Langley will see this year, Warner Smith, a resident of the Mossey Estates area of the City, expressed his disappointment with the low public turnout at the council meeting. Perhaps the City should consider serving coffee and doughnuts to draw a better crowd, he suggested.

“It’s appalling that there are so few people here.” A 12-year resident of the City, Smith told council that his property assessment rose by $53,000 this year, and it’s getting to the point where his taxes are so high that he might have to move out of the home he built on a quarter acre lot. “They (property assessors) assume that because it’s 12 years old, it must have a finished basement. It doesn’t, he added. “They assess property by flying over it. It’s outrageous,” said Smith. Smith asked whether council had taken into account seniors like himself who aren’t

going to be able to afford to stay where they are if taxes continue to rise. “I may have to move someplace smaller and I’m not ready to do that.” “Taxes — everything — goes up every year. It’s a fact of life,” said Warren Stuart. However, the Grade Crescent resident told council, he is confused by the numbers. Numerous single family dwellings are being torn down each year and replaced by strata units, he noted. And while each unit is taxed at a lower rate than a detached house, there are far more of them. “Where’s the extra money going? You’ve got a huge revenue

base increase and yet taxes go up.” The City will receive an additional $354,000 in new growth revenue in 2014, compared to 2013, Darrin Leite replied. Even with that, there is a $593,000 projected shortfall to be made up by the 2.71 per cent tax increase. Without the new growth revenue, the gap between the municipal tax revenue and what it will take to run the City in 2014 would be closer to $950,000, he said. Council gave the budget final reading on March 3, passing it in a 4-1 vote, with only Councillor Dave Hall opposed. Councillor Teri James was absent.

Oil sands experts coming to Langley for public event The Langley Chapter of the Pipe Up Network will host a free public event with world-renowned experts on the Alberta tar sands and the realities and risks of having a diluted bitumen pipeline built in the Lower Mainland. The event is wheelchair accessible, free, and open to the public. Among the speakers will be Andrew Nikiforuk — an economist and award-winning author and journalist: Melina Labou-

can-Massimo — a member of the Lubicon Cree from Peace River, Alta. and a member of the Nobel Women’s Initiative; Liz McDowell— CRED B.C. (Conversations for Responsible Economic Development); Arno Kopecky — journalist, travel writer and TED presenter; and Trenton Pierre — a member of the Katzie First Nation, construction project co-ordinator and artist. The community forum, which will be held at Walnut Grove Secondary on Saturday, March

8, will feature panel discussions, workshops and opportunities to contribute to the work being done in the Lower Mainland. It runs from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. Doors open at noon. The event is wheelchair accessible, free, and open to the public. Free childcare will be provided. Refreshments will be served by the Water Shed Arts Café and raffle prizes will be provided by local businesses.

mentally sound and we need economic opportunities,� Alphonse told the Williams Lake Tribune. Somehow efforts to move mine waste rock from Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) to a sealed storage site two kilometres away are not enough to protect groundwater, although they are sufficient at the nearby Gibraltar and Mount Polley mines. And Alphonse makes it clear this mysterious environmental problem will be solved once he and his fellow chiefs have control of the resource. A Supreme Court of Canada ruling on aboriginal title is required to settle this. If some limited form of title is at last de-

fined for the treaty-less majority of B.C., or at least Tsilhqot’in territory, the fate of the mine may become clear. Conventional wisdom on this is that the mining company didn’t try hard enough to establish a working relationship with the Tsilhqot’in. For his part, Taseko CEO Russell Hallbauer says the chiefs refused to meet with him, which isn’t surprising from a group that doesn’t recognize the B.C. forests ministry either. Here’s a sample of the volume of evidence that may determine the future of B.C. Archeological studies presented at trial describe “18 roasting and/or pit depressions� at Teztan Biny. It’s not clear if

these were for seasonal food preparation or for pit houses, which would indicate a more permanent settlement at the lake. Nor is it clear whether these “cultural depressions� have been identified as being of Tsilhqot’in origin. Oral histories are also uncertain. Tsilhqot’in witnesses testified that Teztan Biny has been used in the 20th century as a hunting and fishing camp. The mine was rejected due to ill-defined cultural as well as environmental concerns. B.C. residents could finally see some answers this year. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Early dementia diagnosis is key to taking control

As many as 50 per cent of Canadians with dementia are not diagnosed early enough. And that means many Langley residents living with dementia are losing precious time when care and support can make a tremendous difference in their quality of life, says Rose Puszka, support and education co-ordinator for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. for Langley/North Surrey. An early diagnosis can also avert unnecessary crises for their families, she adds. There’s a growing urgency to the message, as more than 70,000 British Columbians already live with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia — a number that is set to double within the next 25 years as baby boomers age. And almost three-quarters of Canadians know someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. “A diagnosis of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease can be devastating, but it can also bring relief,” says Puszka. “Early diagnosis keeps your life from unravelling.” Some people with dementia believe that very little can be done for them. Yet early diagnosis can bring a measure of relief and help them take control of their

lives. “Support after diagnosis helps them gain perspective on their circumstances, fears, beliefs.” Earlier diagnosis also opens the door to important local information, resources and sup-

port through the society, which helps people with dementia focus on their abilities to remain independent in their homes and communities longer. With early diagnosis, people can access medications that, although not effective for everyone, have the greatest impact when taken early. “On a practical level, an early diagnosis gives someone the chance to explain the changes happening in their life to family and friends and allows families to plan ahead,” says Puszka.

Seeing a doctor for diagnosis can also rule out other treatable conditions, such as thyroid disease, infections, and side effects of medications, which sometime mimic dementia symptoms or behaviours. Fear and stigma continue to be huge barriers to seeking help. In a recent Nanos survey, 60 per cent of Canadians polled said it would be harder to disclose if they, or someone close to them, had Alzheimer’s disease compared with other diseases because of the social stigma associated with mental health issues. The society is working to break down those barriers, through a variety of local programs and services. A support and information group, for example, serves as a forum for sharing practical tips and strategies for coping with the disease. It helps create support and friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia. For more information contact Puszka at 604-533-5277 or rpuszka@alheimerbc.org. And to learn how to spot the signs of dementia, understand the benefits of a diagnosis and prepare for a doctor’s visit, visit www.earlydiagnosis.ca.

Centre in Surrey, this year’s event aims to demystify the buying process. “With interest rates still incredibly low and builders offering many new-home product choices, this is a great time for first-time buyers to consider taking that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Real estate continues to be a hot topic in Metro Vancouver, and (the) GVHBA is at the forefront of connecting the residential construction industry with consumers. Seminar attendance is

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

expected to be as many, or greater than, the 750 people who attending last year’s event.” Among the speakers this year are Robyn Adamache, senior market analyst at the Canada Mortgage & Housing Corp., Bill Macklem, president of Dominion Macklem Mortgages and Sandra Wyant, president-elect of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, among many others. The topics will include legal considerations, mortgages and warranties, along with several others. “This is a one-stop information shop for first-time home buyers, so anyone considering buying a home should come to this free seminar,” says de Wit. The exhibit area featuring new-home builders and homerelated products and services will be open between 6 and 7 p.m., while the seminar will take place between 7 and 9 p.m. The seminar is free, though attendees are asked to bring a food item for the Surrey Food Bank. Pre-registration is required. Register online at www.gvhba. org or call 778-565-4288.

Bluetree Homes at Citadel Heights features Craftsman-style architecture, spacious four- and five-bedroom floorplans and open layouts. Among the gourmet kitchen features, above right, are stainless-steel appliances, quartz composite stone countertops and a ceramic tile backsplash.

Best of both worlds with Bluetree Homes at Citadel Heights By Kerry Vital

Bluetree Homes is rising to the top with Citadel Heights, its popular single-family community in Port Coquitlam that offers not only beautiful, move-in ready homes but an established mature neighbourhood and convenient access to the rest of the

Lower Mainland as well. Bluetree comes from noted builder ParkLane Homes with a well-established reputation for building quality, and this tradition continues at Citadel Heights. “Citadel is quite a hidden gem,” says sales manager Dana de Boer. “Homeowners get views of the Fraser River and Mount Baker, and that view factor has been a huge draw.” Over 50 per cent of the 29 homes at Citadel Heights have already been sold. Part of the appeal is the spacious four- and five-bedroom floorplans, ranging from 2,800 to 3,577 square feet. “All of our homes include a fully finished basement, which is something that people enjoy,” says de Boer. “You can choose a fully contained suite for in-laws, returning children

or simply as a mortgage helper.” There’s plenty of curb appeal at Citadel Heights due to the Craftsman-style architecture and gorgeous landscaping. Every home has its own private yard as well as a spacious front porch, deck and patio. Engineered hardwood is included throughout the main floor, with lush carpeting on the upper floor. A gas fireplace in the living room with its contemporary quartz composite stone surround and custom-designed mantel is sure to be a showpiece, or just the perfect place to relax. Three different designer colour schemes are available, giving you a chance to personalize your home to suit your tastes. The kitchen holds everything an aspiring chef needs, from stainless-steel appliances to

shaker-style cabinetry to quartz composite stone countertops and a kitchen island. A ceramic tile backsplash complements the countertops. The spa-inspired bathrooms feature hand-set porcelain tile flooring and quartz composite stone countertops. The ensuite holds an acrylic tub and shower with decorative ceramic and glass accent tile, while the main bath features an acrylic alcove tub with ceramic tile surround. The cabinetry depends on the colour scheme chosen for the home, with a choice of either contemporary flat-panel or elegant shaker-style. The location is also a big draw. Citadel Heights is perfectly situated, with shopping, dining, transit, schools and recreation very close by. You’ll also have easy access to the rest of the Lower Mainland via Lougheed Highway or Highway 1, giving you the best of both worlds: a quiet neighbourhood within easy reach of every amenity you can imagine. “It’s very convenient for commuters,” says de Boer. “Or really, for anyone who needs to go places.” A large variety of floorplans are still available, starting at $789,900. For more information, check out www.bluetreehomes. ca/citadel, call 604-468-2169 or visit the sales centre at 2195 Nova Scotia Ave., Port Coquitlam, open daily (except Friday) between noon and 5 p.m.

Did you know… CMHC just announced that they are increasing Mortgage Loan Insurance premiums by 15% come May 1st, 2014. The new insurance premium for a purchaser with 5% down goes from 2.75% to 3.15%. Not so great news for those purchasing with less than 20% down. Those who have (or had) their insurance request submitted to CMHC prior to May 1st will not be affected, no matter of the closing date. Expect the other Canadian Insurers to follow suit. Loan-to-Value Ratio

What this means is the mortgages for clients with less than 20% down (usually) will have larger premiums. As these are typically added to the mortgage, this means that that the clients will actually be qualifying for slightly less funds to purchase. This will likely have an impact on any buyer going with a High Ratio mortgage. Bill Macklem, President, Dominion Macklem Mortgages 108-15388 24 Avenue, Surrey, BC V4A 2J2

Hair stylists going green PLAN WILL ALLOW HAIR SALON TO DIVERT 400 TO 600 POUNDS OF WASTE THIS YEAR ALONE MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Quietly and without fanfare, several Langley hair salons have been helping prepare for future oil spills while also diverting hundreds of pounds of chemicals and waste from landfills and waterways. Crystal Hadland, owner of Entres Nous hair salon in Murrayville, is one of those contributing to a better planet. Tired of seeing aerosol canisters, bleach and hair product go in the garbage instead of being recycled, she sought a way to be greener. “I found out about Green Circle Salons and knew right away it was something I

wanted to do,� said Hadland. Unlike home owners, businesses in Langley don’t get municipal recycling pick up and there really isn’t an avenue to recycle the unique items salons deal with — until Green Circle came along. “Before Green Circle, all we were recycling was cardboard. The rest — foils, left over hair product, hair — was all going in the garbage,� she said. “Now, all that’s left in the garbage is food waste and some food wrappers,� said Hadland. The six stylists at Entres Nous are completely on board as well, separating out all the appropriate recycling to go to Green Circle.

“It’s really easy. A driver comes to pick up the waste once a week. They do all the work,� said Hadland. The service is free except for a $1.50 fee. “Entres Nous will divert 400 to 600 pounds of waste this year alone. They can feel pretty good about that,� said Green Circle regional sales manager Jennifer Henry. “Not only are we excited about it, but our customers really are too,� he said. To that end, Entres Nous is holding a customer appreciation Green Day on Earth Day April 21. All of them will be wearing green and there will be some fun surprises too. Anything with dye or bleach on it is considered hazardous

waste and wouldn’t be eligible for municipal pick up. Through Green Circle’s recycling program, up to 95 per cent of the waste including hair clippings is kept out of landfills, Henry said. So all the foils, colour tubes, excess chemicals, paper and plastics will now be separated in-house and collected by Green Circle once a week. Hair clippings are kept in a warehouse in Burnaby. From there, the clippings are stuffed into nylon tubes and made into booms that assist in containing marine oil spills. “It’s a great conversation piece, being able to tell your clients that their hair gets to clean up oil spills,� said Henry. And it already has. During the 2010 British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, 1,000 pounds of hair went to aid in the cleanup effort, said Henry. It was a volunteer effort by Matter of Trust organization

LSS ready to play ball with academy HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO STUDY BASEBALL GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Langley Secondary is set to play ball. The Langley Board of Education unanimously approved the new program at its Feb. 25 meeting and it will be offered for the first time in the 2014/15 season. “It is something we have been trying to get going for five or six years,” said Jamie Bodaly, who will run the program with his business partner, Corey Eckstein. Bodaly is part of the Langley Blaze Premier program while Eckstein is with the Abbotsford Cardinals program. The pair are already involved in a baseball academy at Abbotsford’s Yale Secondary. They each have their own business — Bodaly’s is Gamers Baseball Academy while Eckstein’s is Sandlot Baseball Academy — but the baseball academies are affiliated with their respective Premier Baseball League programs. The Yale program will run from September to January, while the LSS program will be held January to June with both coaches — Eckstein has a pitching background while Bodaly’s speciality is hitting — working together. “It is not a team, it is a skills academy,” Bodaly said. “It is all about developing them and their skills.” The students will have a dou-

ble-block where they will focus on different aspects of the game. LSS used to have a soccer academy and their hockey academy is currently on hold due to a lack of enrolment. Baseball academies seem to be on the rise with six or seven now offered around the province. “We really thought baseball was a natural fit because of where Langley Secondary is located in connection with their (Blaze) baseball diamond,” said Sean Wicker, a vice-principal at the school. “And the facilities — we have the artificial turf field we can access the entire day, the lacrosse box if we need to do indoors, and their diamond as well — it is all right in their backyard.” The school was approached last April and began doing their groundwork in September. The program costs each student $1,800 and the goal is to have 25 in the first year. “Our goal down the road is 50 students in two classes, one in the morning and one in the afternoon,” Wicker said. Bodaly expects interest to be high in the program and not just with Langley students. “We are strategically located with Cloverdale and Maple Ridge and Surrey,” he said. “(And) I really think the program will take off because of the access we have to the facilities.”

Emily McLean likes to be aggressive on the wrestling mat. But it may have been that aggressiveness which cost her the gold medal at the B.C. high school provincial wrestling championships. They were held over the weekend in Prince George. “I was kind of sad (with silver) because I could have won,” said McLean, a Grade 12 student at Langley Secondary.

The Walnut Grove Gators scored 40 points in their semifinal loss to the Gleneagle Talons. By comparison, the next night, Gators star guard Jadon Cohee went off for 32 points on his own in a dramatic 66-65 victory over the Holy Cross Crusaders. The teams were playing in the bronze medal game of the Quad-A senior boys Fraser Valley basketball championships at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night. “It was really import-

to race out to a 13-3 lead and forced the Crusaders out of the defence. The Gators took a 37-29 lead into halftime but Holy Cross had cut the deficit to one point, 51-50 after three quarters, setting up a back-and-forth final period. And after Holy Cross went up by a couple points late in the fourth, Walnut Grove battled back and Cohee sunk the winning basket with less than a minute to play. The Crusaders had the ball in the final seconds and a good look at the basket, but the shot attempt rolled around the rim and stayed out. The fourth quarter offence was almost entirely handled by Cohee (seven points) and Tyler Anderson, who also scored seven points as the team’s low-post presence. Anderson finished with 15 points while Bryce Derton chipped in with 11. Cohee (first team) and Derton (second team) earned all-stars for the Gators. It was the first meeting between the two teams who entered the Fraser Valley tournament ranked third (Holy Cross) and fifth (Walnut Grove) in the province. “The key was to play hard and keep them off the boards and I thought we did a pretty good job of

Walnut Grove coach George Bergen said it was important for his team to put the Gleneagle loss behind them. “It was a clunker,� he said. “We put it in the bag and zipped it up and forgot about it.� He was happy with his team’s response although he did stress that more communication was needed on the defensive end. “Defensively, our zone had them flustered most of the game,� Bergen said. “We have to work on certain things in the

zone (and) most of it has to do with, believe it or not, a very simple thing: communication. “We need to talk out there.� The victory has the Gators seeded fourth for next week’s Quad-A basketball championships at the Langley Events Centre (March 12 to 15). Going in on a winning note is important. “We wanted to build momentum,� said Lucas Hodgson. “We had a tough loss and we needed the momentum (with 10 days off between games).� Walnut Grove opens against No. 13 Queen Charlotte on Wednesday morning (8:30 a.m.)

The Gators won the Triple-A provincial title last season and while they were one of just a trio of heavy favourites, this year sees a lot more teams in the mix. “I think it is going to be an incredible war in the last two or three nights,� Bergen said. “It will be tighter than ever. “This year there are probably eight or 10 teams that can win it,� Cohee added. “We can play with anyone in the province.� The Gators are 31-6 and all six of the team’s defeats came at the hands of four teams who are all on the other side of the draw at provincials.

The Brookswood Bobcats came up short in their quest to qualify for the provincial championships. The Bobcats went 2-2 at the Fraser Valley Triple-A senior boys basketball tournament, which was held at Abbotsford Secondary, Fleetwood Park and then Columbia Bible College. The ’Cats, who were fourth in the Fraser Valley East Division, won their opener 57-54 over

Princess Margaret but were relegated to the consolation side of the draw after a 69-59 loss to Fleetwood Park in the quarter-finals. Brookswood did stay alive in the double knockout format with a narrow 41-38 win over Mission before losing 51-46 to the Samuel Roberts Technical Titans in the following game. The Titans wound up placing fourth in the Fraser Valley

tournament and secured the zone’s last berth for next week’s provincial Triple-A basketball championships at the Langley Events Centre (March 12 to 15). ••••• The Langley Saints were also competing at the Fraser Valley tournament. But the eight-place from the East Division lost 76-28 to Fleetwood Park and 67-36 to Princess Margaret.

Stealth back in action minus two defenders A half-game out of the final playoff spot, the Vancouver Stealth get set for the stretch drive with a road game against the top team in the National Lacrosse League, the Edmonton Rush. The Stealth (3-7) play in Edmonton (8-0) on Saturday night as Vancouver resumes play after a nearly three-week schedule break. But while the struggling club had hoped to use their hiatus to get healthy, they have instead lost a pair of defenders in captain Kyle Sorenson and Chris O’Dougherty. Sorenson has battled injuries all season and had just returned to the line-up

when he was hurt again in his first game back. O’Dougherty missed the last two games. It was announced last week (Feb. 25) that both players had undergone arthroscopic surgery and will be out four to six weeks. “Obviously losing veteran players like Kyle and Chris for an extended period of time is not the news we wanted heading into the second half of the season,” said Stealth president and general manager Doug Locker. “These guys are virtually impossible to replace, but we have immense confidence in our defensive corps and will ask them

to step up in a big way during the time that Kyle and Chris are out of our lineup.” The club also announced some other roster moves, which include signing left-handed forward Jamie Lincoln, defensemen Brad Richardson and Bradley Kri. Lincoln adds scoring depth and experience as he had 42 goals over the past two seasons with the Colorado Mammoth. He is also a former winner of the Bill Dickinson Trophy as the top scorer in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League with 63 goals and 87 points in 20 games back in 2007. He has also won a pair of Mann Cup (senior A) and a Minto Cup (junior A).

Richardson also has NLL experience spending 2010 and 2011 with the Mammoth and was on the 2005 Minto Cup team with Lincoln. Kri, who is on the Stealth’s practice roster, was the 14th overall pick in the 2012 NLL Draft and spent last season on the Toronto Rock practice roster. To make room for Kri, the Stealth released Sean Lundstrom. The undrafted free agent from Langley made the team out of training camp. The Stealth, who have just one win in their past seven games, next play at the Langley Events Centre on March 21 when they host the Calgary Roughnecks.

Hawks set to clash with Cougars in quarter-finals The Cariboo Cougars stand in the way of the Valley West Hawks and a spot in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League semifinals. The Hawks, who finished the regular season in third place with 56 points (27-11-2), will host the sixth-place Cougars (17-21-2, 36 points) in a best-ofthree series beginning tomorrow (March 7) in Langley. The teams play at Sportsplex in game one (6:15 p.m.) and the George Preston Recreation Centre on Saturday (8:15 p.m.) for

game two. If necessary, game three would be at the Preston Centre on Sunday morning with a 9:45 a.m. face-off. The Hawks enter the post-season with an 8-1-1 record in their past 10 games. They closed the regular season with a pair of wins, 3-2 and 8-1 over the North Island Silvertips at the Nanaimo Ice Centre, knocking the Vancouver Island team out of playoff contention in the process. North Island led 2-0 in the

first game before the Hawks scored the final three goals with Langley’s Luke Gingras netting a pair. Surrey’s Matt Bradley had the other. Bradley had a hat trick in the second game while Devante Stephens (White Rock) had a goal and four assists. Gingras, Justin Wilde (Surrey), Jesse Lansell (Langley) and Matt Barberis (White Rock) had the other goals. Bradley finished second in the league in goals with 39 goals in 37 games.

Coach of the year for Henderson After leading his team to the BCHL’s top regular season record, Langley Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson has won the league’s coach of the year award. It was announced on Tuesday (March 4) as the league unveiled their year-end trophy

winners. Henderson wins the Joe Tennant Memorial Trophy after guiding the Rivermen to a league-best 37-13-3-5 record. They are the first local team to win the Ron Boileau Memorial Trophy in the 32-year history of junior A

hockey in Langley. And while Henderson took the coaching award, a Langley player — who is a member of the Surrey Eagles — was a double winner. Danton Heinen, the Eagles leading scorer, won both the BCHL’s Bruce Allison Memo-

rial Trophy Award as top rookie and the Bob Fenton Trophy as the most sportsmanlike player. Heinen, a Langley Minor Hockey Association alumni, had 29 goals and 62 points to lead all BCHL rookies and finish 10th in league scoring.

Spartans Ball, Schriemer win national honours The Trinity Western Spartans have picked up pair of major awards at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport banquet. Head coach Ben Josephson was named the national coach of the year while setter Adam Schriemer earned the CIS rookie of the year award. They were presented with their honours at the CIS all-Canadian breakfast on Feb. 26 in

Calgary. The Spartans lost in the quarter-finals in five sets to the Western Mustangs before winning their final two games over the Calgary Dinos and the Dalhousie Tigers to place fifth. Two other Spartans — Lucas Van Berkel and Nick Del Bianco — were also recognized as CIS all-Canadians, with Van Berkel making the first team

and Del Bianco, the second. Schriemer was also named to the CIS all-rookie team. “Adam’s season is arguably the best freshman setting season in Canada West history,” said Josephson. “He helped guide our team to a conference best in wins and attack efficiency, which are the two most relevant statistics in judging a setter.

“Ben is a student of the game and has set the standard for coaching excellence at TWU in a number of areas under our ‘Complete Champion Approach’. “Ben is an innovator and has built an expert-based staff around him. He recruits the very best student-athletes who fit the high performance and high character culture he demands,” Hall added. ••••• Trinity Western Spartans’ Sophie Carpentier earned a first team

all-Canadian award. Carpentier, who finished the season second in the country at 4.14 kills per set and points with 4.96 per set, received her award last week (Feb. 26) in Regina. The Spartans were competing at the CIS women’s volleyball national championships. Trinity Western lost in the quarter-finals to the Dalhousie Tigers, but bounced back with wins over the Ottawa Gee-Gees and the Regina Cougars to place fifth in the country.

For the first time in program history, the Trinity Western Spartans have captured the Canada West women’s conference banner. The Spartans did so on Feb. 22 on the strength of seven medals, including four gold, at the University of Alberta’s Universiade Pavilion in Edmonton. The women’s team finished with a score of 107 points. The Trinity Western men’s team also had a strong showing, finishing tied for second with 67 points. Altogether, the Spartan athletes finished with 25 medals, including 10 gold medals. Sabrina Nettey, who won three gold (long jump, 60m, triple jump) and a silver in the 4x200 relay, was given an honourable mention for the meet’s most outstanding female performer.

She had also earlier won the Canada West female athlete of the year award, while teammates Regan Yee was named the female rookie of the year and Anastasia Pearse won the female community service award. Yee also picked up a pair of silver medals at the Canada West championships in the 3,000m race and as part of the 4x800 relay team and Pearse won bronze in the 300m race and was part of the Spartans team which won bronze in the 4x400. And Laurier Primeau won coach of the year honours for his work with the women’s side. His staff includes Rob Pike, Mark Bomba, Scott Kent and Zach Keene. The men’s

side performance was led by the dominance of the team’s pole vaulters, as they took all three spots on the podium with Nathan Dunford, Jamie Sinclair and Jesse Phillips taking gold, silver and bronze, respectively. As for the Canada West awards, Calum Innes earned honourable mention for the male performance of the meet, and Declan White earned honourable mention for male rookie of the year. Up next for the Spartans is the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships, which begin today (Thursday) and go until Saturday in Edmonton.

To get a sneak peak at what better weather looks and feels like, plus get a chance to drive the all new Mercedes GLA250 and GLA 45 AMG, the advanced drive program was held in Malaga, Spain. The GLA is built of the same platform as the hot, new CLA sedan that arrived last fall. Developing it into a taller, more practical small SUV is perfect for young families or couples that want the same underlying goodness that is in the CLA but with standard all wheel drive (AWD) and ease of use. Pricing has not been confirmed but when it arrives this fall, expect the same aggressive pricing that the CLA delivers. That car starts at $33,900 but with AWD comes up to $36,800. Looks This new GLA is not as tall as the B-Class, which also shares the same platform, and not nearly as low-slung as the CLA. The GLA has a less aggressive front grille

Drive The base GLA 250 comes with a 2.0L turbocharged direct injection 4-cylinder with a healthy 208hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, the same as the B-Class and base CLA. There is plenty of acceleration and cruising on the highway is effortless.

Driving through the mountain canyons back from Granada to Malaga was a real treat. The countryside is rustic and beautiful and the twisty roads sublime. The base GLA never set a wheel wrong and the 7-speed duel-clutch automatic can be left in economy, sport or manual for each driving situation. All GLA models come with standard AWD and this system can detach the rear wheels and drive in FWD for better economy but switches seamlessly back when more traction or cornering capability is required, plus Dynamic Cornering Assist applies just a small amount of brake force to the inside wheel when cornering to aid in the process. The 45 AMG takes things to a completely new level. The 2.0L 4-cylinder is hand assembled and pumps out a whopping 355hp and 332 lb.-ft. of torque. The 7-speed transmission and AWD system have been adapted by AMG to deliver a go-cart like drive that is so reassuring and potent that it makes the driver look and feel fantastic. Cornering is effortless and the bigger wheels and lowered suspension give great feedback but it is not jarring.

Well-appointed, spacious and a treat to drive, there are many reasons why the Jetta is not your average car. There are 5 different engines to choose from, including the only turbocharged hybrid in its class, and the unparalleled TDI Clean Diesel. And other available features like the convenient KESSY keyless entry with start and stop button, or the custom-tuned Fender® Premium Audio System, are certainly a cut above. Any way you look at it, the 2014 Jetta is German-engineered to give you more bang for less buck.

Drives-U-Crazy Many drivers appear ignorant of the rules concerning when it is okay to a pass a vehicle on the right. You must not pass on the right of another vehicle on a road marked with a single lane unless that driver is making or signaling a left turn. Frequently drivers zip to the right of a traffic waiting at the lights in a bid to roar off in front at the green. It’s extremely selfish because invariably it prevents cars making a right on a red. If caught the fine is $109 fine and tw2 Driver Penalty Points.

it easily be spotted. The latest generation of German convertible is better than ever. Boasting more trunk room (now rated at 201L as opposed to 141L) than the previous two generations, a more “masculine” look and better driving dynamics. There are two engines to choose from: a 1.8L, 4-cylidner that produces 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.0L, 4-cylinder turbocharged (TSI) model with 200 horsepower with the manual transmission (but 210hp with the optional automatic DSG) and 207 lb-ft of torque.

Mazda MX-5 - $29,250 Given the title of the world’s most popular 2-seat sports car, it’s not hard to see why. The front engine, rear-wheel drive Mazda MX-5 is a blast to drive. Ask anyone who has captained it. Whether taking it out for a spin on the road or the track, this tiny two-door has nothing but good times woven into its sheet metal. The Mazda MX-5’s manual vinyl top takes only a few seconds to drop down, allowing its driver and passenger to experience a completely new world of

There’s also the option to outfit the MX-5 with various transmissions: a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters, there’s fun to be had by all. Mustang Convertible $29,499 Under the hood of this American muscle car, the Ford Mustang’s 3.7L, V6 engine will give you the grunt and glory of 305 horsepower. You’ll also

be able to fit four people inside along with 272L of cargo around back. Despite the healthy dose of ponies under the hood, wrangling this convertible is anything but a chore. With either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, you’d be pleasantly surprised as to how gracious this ‘Stang can be to drive. Then again,

if you want to fire this rear-wheel drive vehicle up, you might just giggle in the process. MINI Convertible - $29,500 There’s something to be said about driving a MINI. It’s unlike any other experience out there. It feels like driving a street-legal gokart, but without the abrasiveness that go-karts can

have. Its pristine handling and fabulous gearbox only enhance the experience. Granted, visibility out the rear with the top up isn’t fabulous, and there isn’t a lot of trunk space (but there still is room for four!), those are secondary details. Take the 121 horsepower MINI Convertible for a spin and fall in love with things that come in small packages. alexandra.straub@drive-

Confessions of a Curber It happened just after the last flood. The T winter beat records for snowfall, and springtime saw serious seriou flooding. Basements filled, streets were running with water, and cars were left to float and sink. One day, I walked past a junk yard and saw, what I thought, was a rrelatively normal car.

the vehicle could get a person from A to B. Suddenly, I had an idea. Since the car looked fine on the outside, no one had to know its real history. I was a genius. After a night in the garage with a heater and a little scrubbing, I posted an ad on Craigslist: “2004 black Toyota Corolla for sale. No longer need, bought new car. No room in garage – need to sell ASAP!!! Few scratches, otherwise in great condition. Call cell and we’ll talk price.” Thirty minutes later I got a call from a sixteen-year old kid – a little younger than my son. We decided to meet at the local mall at about 6:00. I wonder if his parents knew what he was up to. I arrived at 6:20, telling him I was in a great rush as I had to pick my son up from soccer practice. Turns out he played, too. After some soccer gossip, we got down to business. I knew that a kid his age just wanted a ride to show off to his friends, so we spent little time on the details. I told him the car was in perfect condition and was never in any accidents. “No problems as far as I know,” I said. The kid was sold. He trusted me. I never gave him my full name, and he never gave me his. He gave me the cash, I gave him the car. All was good. I was on my way. A few days later, I saw a TV program that talked about flood damaged vehicles. Apparently, flooding can damage the computer systems, which control things like the brakes and steering. And flood vehicles can’t be registered or insured. Who knew? My mind immediately went to the kid I sold the vehicle to. I felt a twinge of guilt. Then my eyes darted to my stash of cash. Two weeks later, I had another car up for sale. Stay tuned!

I still remember r rs time. It was my first eas So thrilling. so easy. And I walked away with a couple of thousa bucks in thousand pocket my pocket. Not bad for hou work. a few hours’
