The rich and not-so-rich in Langley REPORT FROM TOWNSHIP PROVIDES NEIGHBOURHOOD INCOME COMPARISON DA N F ERGUSO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
Fort Langley is the richest and best-educated area of the Township, according to a Times analysis of new neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood profiles provided to council. The statistics also show that the fastest-growing Township neighbourhood is Willoughby, while the slowest-growing is Brookswood-Fernridge. The updated statistics were presented in a March 24 memo from the Community Development division to council. The raw numbers were to be posted to the Township website at www.tol. ca under “doing business.” The figures show that 19 per cent of Fort Langley households reported an annual income of $150,000 or more a year, well above the Township average of 14 per cent, and more than any other neighbourhood in the community. Walnut Grove placed second, with 16 per cent of its households making $150,000 or more, while Brookswood-Fernridg e and Willoughby tied for third at 14 per cent in the
plus-150K category. In terms of the exact numbers of households reporting incomes of $150,000 or more, Walnut Grove had the most with 1,435, while Willoughby was second with 930 and Brookswood-Fernridg e was third with 645. Those three neighbourhoods accounted for more than half of all Township households in the highest income category, 3,010 of the 5,165 in the entire community. On the other end of the income spectrum, Aldergrove had the highest percentage of households making less than $20,000 a year, at 14 per cent, more than the Township average of 10 per cent. Willoughby had the second highest percentage of households at the lower end of the income scale with 10 per cent under $20,000, and Murrayville was third at nine per cent. In terms of the exact numbers reporting less than $20,000 a year in income, Willoughby had the most households in that category at 700, Walnut Grove was second at 635 and Aldergrove was third with 590.

A painted fibreglass statue of a horse — part of the Horsing Around Langley project — which stands in front of the Township civic facility building, is decorated with banners representing the different neighbourhoods of Langley Township. On March 24, the municipality released a set of figures which rank its various neighbourhoods by income and education levels, as well as their respective rates of growth. Fort Langley topped the list as both the richest and best-educated community, with Aldergrove reporting the highest number of households with incomes under $20,000 per year.
A 19-year-old woman who reported being raped at knifepoint by a goggle-wearing man in Douglas Park last August has recanted her story, said police. “She said she made it up to get attention,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. She recanted last week to investigators. Her account of being raped sent the community into a panic, as it was the second reported sexual assault in two months. Oddly, the sketch of both attackers had a remarkable likeness, so much so police believed they were dealing with a a serial attacker. Massive police resources were used in the search for the alleged rapist, including calling in specialized profilers. An entire team was dedicated to following up the more than 100 tips. “Public mischief charges are being considered against the woman,” said Marks. The first sexual assault on June 22, 2013, against a 16-year-old girl in Brookswood, is still an active investigation, said Marks. Continued Page 4

Pressure for tree-cutting bylaw grows DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter
D AN F E RGUSON L an gley Tim es
Petrina Arnason was one of several speakers who pressed Langley Township council to tackle tree-cutting in Brookswood at the Monday night meeting.
Outraged Brookswood residents who want a ban on clear-cutting say many acres of forest have already been lost, and the pace of tree-cutting is accelerating. Several speakers told a crowded Langley Township council chambers Monday night that action needs to be taken quickly. Celeste Paley, a professional arborist, said a random search of Township records shows 1,223 “significant” trees on 18 sites were approved for cutting in Brookswood over a one-year period ending March, 2013. That was 82 per cent of the “adult demographic” trees on those sites, Paley said, and it is likely those trees are only a “tiny fraction” of the actual losses. Paley noted the cutting was carried out despite a provincial law that is supposed to restrict the “destruction or disturbance of bird habitat” between March and August. Resident Anna R. (who only goes by her initial) had organized an online petition calling for an emergency tree-cutting ban, which, as of Tuesday, had over 700 signatures. Her online message asks if the cutting is being “preemptively” carried out in anticipation of a new community plan for the Brookswood area that would have allowed increased housing density. That plan was scuttled when council refused to approved it last month in the face of heated opposition from residents. But the cutting is continuing, she said “We need to do something to stop it,” she said, generating applause.
Petrina Arnason, a member of Watchers Of Langley Forests who said she was speaking as an individual, not a WOLF member, told council Langley’s tree protection bylaw “has quite a few gaps” that need to be closed. Arnason doubted an emergency order prohibiting tree-cutting was the best solution, because the process of approving the ban would take time and it could have the “unintended consequence of accelerating this process” as owners rush to remove trees in advance of a ban. Councillor Kim Richter proposed a temporary prohibition that would allow time to overhaul tree protection regulations while intervening to prevent property owners from “savagely ripping apart” Brookswood. “Hopefully we can fast-track a bylaw,” Richter said. The Richter proposal, which was slightly modified after some discussion with other members of council, would restrict tree cutting to three trees, per acre, per year. It was given preliminary approval Monday with the only votes against cast by Mayor Jack Froese and Councillor Grant Ward, who had doubts about the legality of a temporary ban and wanted to have Township staff do a review first. “I think we need to act quickly,” said Councillor Michelle Sparrow. Councillors Charlie Fox and Steve Ferguson said the Township should revive a municipal task force that tried to draft a tree protection bylaw in 2007, but failed to get it approved by a majority of council at the time. “Langley is due for a tree bylaw,” Ferguson said. The proposal is expected to come back to council for more discussion at next Monday’s meeting.
New planning process suggested for Brookswood D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
A new planning process for Brookswood is running into resistance from the residents who fought a successful battle against a controversial proposal to increase housing density in the semi-rural neighbourhood. On Monday night, one week after council decided against proceeding any further with the proposal, Councillor Bob Long convinced a majority of council to approve a second attempt using input from the lengthy public hearings on the failed plan. Long, one of the council members who voted down the proposal to boost housing density, said the existing 1987 official community plan for the area still needs to be updated. “This is a brand-new process,” Long said,
one that would take into account the objections raised by residents, as well as addressing environmental issues such as protection of “watercourses, aquifers, trees and conservation areas …” Several residents spoke against the idea of a new planning process at the meeting, some arguing the Township should be focussing on the Willoughby neighbourhood struggle with increased housing density before it considers approving multiple-family housing and smaller lots in Brookswood. “What is the rush?” one resident said. Mayor Jack Froese said the second attempt at a Brookswood update will not produce a new plan any time soon. “Now that we’re starting over again, this falls to the bottom of the lists,” Froese said. Councillor Michelle Sparrow noted
Township staff have warned council they don’t have enough resources to develop a new plan. “The responsible thing to do is talk about how we’re going to pay for it,” Sparrow said. C O UNCILLOR “How are we going to make BOB LONG room for it [on the priority list]?” Councillor Steve Ferguson said there was no intention of reviving the just-defeated plan. “[That plan is] dead,” Ferguson said.
“We are starting new.” Ferguson predicted it would take “years and years” to develop another plan. Councillor Kim Richter said in the new planning process, there should be an understanding that housing density will not be boosted. “If we don’t clearly state that we don’t want an increase in density, we’ll get an increase in density,” Richter warned. Richter suggested the Township poll residents to find out if they wanted a new official community plan or to keep the one they already have. “We need to ask Brookswood, do you want to start over again?” Richter said. That suggestion failed to win support from a majority of council. “I don’t think 1987 is the answer,” councillor Sparrow said. “I don’t think it’s either-or.”

The Langley Times www.langleytimes.com Police were struck by the similarity of the descriptions given by a pair of women who said they were attacked on separate dates last summer. However the accusation made by the second woman was revealed this week to be false.
June attack still being investigated The victim provided a description of her attacker and police released a sketch of the suspect two weeks after the assault. Then on Aug. 20, around 8 p.m., a 19-year-old woman said she was walking in the 20600 block of 51B Avenue when she was attacked from behind, pushed to the ground and raped. She said she was threatened with a knife and he told her not to scream. The suspect wore swimming
From Page 1
On that evening, a 16-year-old girl was waiting at a bus stop at 204 Street and 42 Avenue when she was forced into a newer model silver hatchback by a bearded man. He drove her to the parking lot of Christian Life Assembly where he sexually assaulted her at knife point. He then drove her to the Langley bus loop and dropped her off.
goggles, she said. After the assault, he took her purse and iPod before fleeing on a bicycle, she claimed. To add to the mystery of this case, later that summer, a passerby dropped off the woman’s purse to the neighbouring Community Police Office. Based on the victim’s description of her attacker and how strikingly similar it was to the sketch in the June attack, RCMP believed the same man was responsible.

Critter Care plans to hold annual fundraiser on April 26 ROMEO AND JULIET AMO NG 1, 20 0 ANIMAL S TAKEN IN BY LANGL EY GR OU P EAC H YEAR MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter
Subm itted Ph oto
Two bear cubs who were found near Revelstoke are now at Critter Care in Langley, and will be released into the wild.
Canadian Made Quality Furniture & Mattresses
Their names are Romeo and Juliet, but these two adorable B.C. bear cubs won’t share the same tragic story line of their namesake. The seven-week-old babies were rescued in Revelstoke by some loggers who kept watch on the babies for a few days, noticing that their mom had not returned to them. Fearing they would starve to death, they were put in contact with Langley’s Critter Care Society, a facility that is trained and able to take in injured and orphaned black bear cubs.
“We met them (the loggers) half way and took these adorable guys in,� said Critter Care’s Maureen Binnie. The pair have taken to their new home at the rehabilitation centre at Campbell Valley Park and are “growing like weeds,� she said. “They are doing super.� The goal will be to let them grow into a healthy weight and age when they will be ready to be released back to the wild in a remote, chosen location. Critter Care has successfully rehabilitated more than 50 bear cubs back into the wild since it took on the provincially ap-
proved program. The agency rehabilitates more than 1,200 wildlife animals each year and relies on donations to feed all the orphaned babies and deal with all of their medical issues. To that end, the long-established charity is holding its annual dinner and auction on Saturday, April 26 at the Langley Seniors’ Centre (20605 51B Ave.) The night includes dinner, no host bar, live/silent auction, door prizes and more. Tickets are $55 and can be bought by calling Critter Care at 604-5302054.

BR ENDA ANDERS ON Tim es Reporter
The Langley Senior Resources Society is officially mortgage-free. With the presentation of a cheque for $37,333.05 from the City of Langley, the Langley Senior Recreation and Resource Centre building was paid in full this week. “It doesn’t end with this cheque,” said acting mayor Ted Schaffer, during Tuesday’s presentation at the centre, where Langley’s seniors gather to take part in a range of programs and activities all year round. Among its services, the recreation centre, located at 20605 51B Ave., provides outreach programs and adult daycare. It also offers programs designed to promote both mental and physical fitness, as well as organized social events and
group outings. Shauna Sailer, chair of the LSRS board, thanked the City for its ongoing support as she accepted the grant. Since 1998, the City has contributed $40,000 per year toward the society’s mortgage. Last December, council voted to pay out the loan, with a $74,000 contribution from the City’s 2013 enterprise fund and the balance to be paid from the 2014 budget. However, funding for ongoing operating expenses is difficult to acquire, she said, and so the centre will continue to depend on the community for financial support — a point which Sailer and LSRC executive director Barb Stack made in a letter to the editor in Tuesday’s Times. During his remarks, Schaffer also asked that “people who like to donate (to the LSRS) keep donating.”

Donations to hard-hit family to be accepted at Times office MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
The Langley family involved in last week’s traumatic arson and attempted murder is expressing their gratitude to those who helped, but also asking for privacy so they can heal. Loretta Cella is speaking on behalf of the Cella family. “As you can imagine, our family is going through a tremendous ordeal at the moment. We deeply appreciate all those who have reached out and offered their support. We would also like to thank all the emergency services, including police, fire department, ambulance, victim services, the Langley Quilters Guild and the Royal Columbian Hospital staff for their unbelievable teamwork to create the safest possible situation over the last four days,” writes Cella. “As one can imagine with a tragedy such as this, we have experienced an enormous amount of attention and pub-
licity through the news and social media. We are asking media and others to please respect our family’s wishes for privacy at this time so that we can begin our healing process and work our way through this traumatic event.” The Times has a connection to the family and is finding ways to help out as much as possible. Sonia Cella’s daughter has been a newspaper carrier for The Times for a year and a half. The Times will be accepting donations of cash, gift cards to Willowbrook Shopping Centre, Target, Superstore and other grocery stores to give to the family. The Times office is at 20258 Fraser Highway, and is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. As the family is still without a home, they aren’t able to take physical items yet, but The Times will help with that when they are ready. “A caring neighbour and be-

loved friend” has also taken the initiative to create a special fund to help Sonia and her children get back on their feet. All donations would be greatly appreciated. The Cella Family Trust Fund at the Langley CIBC branch 720 will be open for 30 days. The account number is 4686632. Cash or cheques can be brought in person, or mailed. Cheques need to be made out to: Cella Family Trust. Others, including Sonia’s coworkers and people from her children’s schools, have set up online fundraising accounts, raising almost $5,000 already. People can also bring in their bottles and cans for the Cella family to the Langley Bottle Depot and Willowbrook depot. The Cellas lost their Willoughby home to the arson, and all their possessions inside. They will now be looking to rebuild their lives and are looking to rent a home.

Question langeytimes.com
A generational shift had plenty to do with the relegation of the Parti Quebecois to the opposition benches in Monday’s Quebec election. Normally, elections in other provinces are of little interest to B.C. residents. But the PQ mused about separatism (including passports and borders) and campaigned openly on a Charter of Quebec Values that was one of the most discriminatory documents in recent Canadian history. This captured a lot of attention nationally, and caused a large number of younger voters to flee the PQ. Some went to the Liberals, who won 41.5 per cent of the vote, 70 seats and a majority government. A significant number went to the Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ), which promised not to focus on separatism, but rather on the economy, and some went to the left-wing Quebec Solidaire separatist party which, significantly, opposed the charter. Premier Pauline Marois borrowed a page from Adrian Dix’s unsuccessful campaign in B.C. a year ago. She went off script part way through the campaign, bringing up separatism and a referendum after her star candidate PierreKarl Peladeau raised his fist in the air and proclaimed the need for independence. It was her “Kinder Morgan” moment, damage she could not repair. Even though some of those who voted against her support separatism, very few want a referendum any time soon. Her lack of focus on jobs and the economy was also a crucial error. Quebec has one of the weakest economies in the country, the highest debt and a poor job creation record. Any talk of separatism causes investors to give it the cold shoulder. Marois seemed unperturbed by all this. The charter captured the most attention outside Quebec. While it was supported by a significant number of Quebeckers, it was anathema to many younger, urban residents. They are as comfortable with multiculturalism as younger people in other urban parts of Canada. Montreal is a very cosmopolitan city, and the charter, with Marois’ pledge to fire doctors, nurses, daycare workers and teachers who wear religious symbols, angered many. The charter would never pass muster if challenged in court, so in the last week of the campaign, Marois stated that she would use the notwithstanding clause to ensure that it took effect. While some undoubtedly cheered, it was another reminder just how off course the PQ was. New premier Philippe Couillard has a lot of promise. He is a surgeon, former cabinet minister, has international experience, is an unconditional federalist, and stated that Canada is a great country to be part of. At the same time, he plans to vigorously defend the French language. As he said, Quebec is the only place in North America where French is the majority language. However, he extended an olive branch to other Quebeckers in his victory speech, a good omen. Couillard has promised to tackle some of the province’s economic issues, and CAQ leader Francois Legault will also remind him of the urgency of doing so. Meanwhile, the PQ is now leaderless, with Marois having resigned on Monday night. Perhaps its days are numbered.

Important to vote they
Recent elections in Afghanistan and Quebec underline the importance of taking part in the democratic process. If any voters in the world have an excuse not to exercise their democratic right, it’s probably the folks in Afghanistan. The Taliban is still a real threat there, and the fanatical group claimed more than 1,000 acts of violence at polling stations throughout the country. This failed to deter the thousands of people from voting. Threats of violence and accusations of corruption throughout the government didn’t stop residents from casting their ballots. It makes any excuse that Canadians come up with for failing to vote seem weak. The municipal election will heat up in the next few months, and will be in full swing by the end of summer. You’ll see letters to the editor, people speak out on issues, and folks turning up at city council and school board meetings to take in the proceedings. Once elected, the decisions these people make will have the most impact on residents’ lives. It’s important to vote. — Nanaimo News Bulletin

Wrong Coulter Berry decision Editor: Langley Township council has made its decision, and it is what we expected from it. Whether council passed the Fort Langley building or not — the decision is still wrong. It is wrong for one man to push his will for any building that is against the bylaws. It is wrong for council to have even given it any thought. It is wrong for a previous mayor to assist him in bypassing the bylaws that he installed. It was wrong for the council to go and turn the sod, when it was not cleared. It was wrong for the construction to begin without a permit. It is wrong to denigrate the heritage folks who have worked for years to preserve the essence of Fort Langley. It was wrong for council to have a public hearing, where members of council were not hearing. It is wrong for them to conspire corporately behind the scene to try to cover their tracks in this blunder they created. It was wrong for the council to have strong, valid, intelligent, ethical and explicit reasons given why this construction was wrong, and to ignore them. It was wrong for a councillor to state that OCPs should be respected, when she voted on the Brookswood decision but ignore the Fort Langley OCP. It is wrong for lawyers and leaders to not follow the intent of the
law but to find a way around them to get what they want. It was wrong for the council to require other builders to adhere to the requirements, while fighting for one to ignore them. It simply is wrong for anyone in leadership to be swayed by friends and finances, rather than ethics. Mayor Jack Froese and Councillor Grant Ward both voted to pass Brookswood and Coulter Berry, ignoring every sensible reason provided. Others couldn’t see past statements like “Heritage isn’t defined by a three-storey building” or “two storeys are boring.” Another one told us we weren’t very bright in understanding the situation, and that he didn’t care what we thought. Thank you, Councillors David Davis and Bob Long, for understanding what is at stake here. We are watching and taking note. Councillor Davis, that yardstick that had been used on your bottom as a child must have put some sense into the other end. All in all, even if the majority wants something that is wrong, it is still wrong. Brookswood, you have a short reprieve. But just wait, council will be back on your case before long. Council members knew they were stuck on this massive blunder in the Fort, and they felt they’d appear reasonable by turning one down to approve the other. It is all quite apparent what’s going on.
The permit for the construction to resume in Fort Langley was posted a day or two after the decision. This is proof that behind the scenes, council was working on it, while pretending to have given serious thought to its decision. Normally, it takes weeks for a permit to be granted. LOIS HOOKS, FORT LANGLEY Editor’s note — The excavation of the Coulter Berry site which took place last summer was done after an excavation permit was issued. It stopped after a court decision, which invalidated council’s decision allowing the project to proceed, and led to the recent rezoning.
Clarification A letter to the editor, published in the April 3 edition of The Times, which was on the subject of tree cutting in Brookswood, left the impression that the cutting of trees on a 200 Street property was being done illegally. The owner of the property has shown The Times his permit from the ministry of forests, which allows him to sell timber harvested on the property. Langley Township does not have a tree-cutting bylaw in place at present, so owners are free to cut down trees without permission from the Township.

Langley Township fire department is praised for freeing Aspen from a gate he became stuck in.
Thanks to firefighters for freeing my horse Editor: I wanted to send out a thank you to the Murrayville and Brookswood fire halls. My horse got stuck in a gate on April 2, and they helped save him. They responded very quickly and were able to cut the gate down and free my horse’s leg. I have had Aspen (the horse) for almost 10 years. He means the world to me. It is a miracle that he didn’t break his leg. Thank you again. KELSEY MCDONELL, LANGLEY
Four-person fire crews are absolutely necessary Editor: I was astonished to read the comment by J. Jordan (The Times, April 1), calling for reduced numbers of firefighters in Langley City. I am not an IAFF (union) member, but have been a paid on call (POC) member of Langley City Fire and Rescue for 33 years. I think I can speak candidly on this issue. The minimum four-man staffing is not only industry standard (NFPA) but essential. I have responded to calls on apparatus with two and three personnel, and I can tell you that you quickly find yourself short of manpower for almost anything. You become almost ineffectual. Calls often come in in multiples, spreading your crews thin even when using the
POC system. The on-shift team may have a medical call one minute then an MVA the next requiring all the manpower, so it is not effective to reduce the on-shift team. Langley City has one hall with a complement of POC firefighters to back up the onshift team. On those incidents that are more than just a medical, public assist or a second page, the POCs are paged to respond. We have to leave our homes and businesses, often times getting dressed in the middle of the night, and respond to the hall. A minimum of five to eight minutes have elapsed. We gear up and get into the rigs and respond to the call. This takes perhaps another five minutes, making our response between 10 and 15
minutes. I don’t know about you, but if I was trapped in a car after a horrific MVA, a burning house, fallen into a ravine, in the middle of a hazardous material spill, gas leak or even stuck in an elevator, I would want a team there who can, at minimum, deal with the situation until additional help arrives. Someone has to be in charge to assess the situation for the safety of the crew and citizens and plan a course of action. Another is needed to operate the pump, leaving only two members to actually deal with the incident. Having been there many times, a four-man team is definitely the minimum you would want to respond to most calls.
Ambulance protocols now involve longer wait times. Many of the first aid calls involve a long patient care process. Performing CPR for 45 minutes or attending more serious wounds often need the entire team’s personnel, especially when the patient has to be moved to a clear air or safe environment. Citizens are indeed welcome to scrutinize all department operations but in this case, the question of manpower is unfounded. Criticize wages, benefits, or the cost of equipment if you feel you must, but a fire apparatus needs a minimum of four responders. BRUCE KILBY, LANGLEY

“You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics office and this can all be done from places like Telegraph Creek and Horsefly remotely, that actually saves them a lot of money,” Wilkinson said. “There will be conversion of existing services where you have to go into an office and wait around and fill out forms. Those will be converted to online services.” It also means a decline in the number of government office jobs, and the potential for further outsourcing of services, as we have seen with Medical Services Plan administration and the back-office functions of BC Hydro. Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. They don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone. But they will also see their great-grandchildren becoming adept with tablet computers before they can even speak. Seniors will get the hang of it pretty quickly, and their lives will become easier. • A correction to last week’s column on the Agricultural Land Commission. I erroneously said regional panel members were appointed from outside the region. They are local residents, and the new legislation formalizes a cabinet appointment process for them.

Thursday, April 10, 2014 15 JosĂŠ Figueroa, farthest from camera, helps cook tamales during a fundraiser held at Walnut Grove Lutheran Church on March 28. The event was organized to help Figueroa and his family manage financially while he waits to find out whether he will be allowed to remain in Canada.

Tamale fundraiser for Figueroa tops $1,200 BILLS PILING UP FOR LANGLEY FATHER FIGHTING EXTRADITION M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
More than $1,200 was raised and many pupusas and tamales purchased or eaten at a fundraiser for JosĂŠ Figueroa at Walnut Grove Lutheran Church on Friday, March 28. “This will be very helpful for the many things that are going on with the federal court,â€? said Figueroa. April marks six months since Figueroa sought sanctuary in the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church. A judicial review was put off in January but now has a new date of May 26. It will determine if he can stay in Canada on compassionate grounds. “It has been almost six months without being able to go to work.
Bills and legal fees keep piling and now that the legal process is restarting again,� said Figueroa in an earlier interview. The Canadian Border Security Agency put out an arrest warrant for Figueroa in October, which sent the working Langley father of three to seek sanctuary in his church. The Minister of Public Safety Stephen Blaney has the power to grant him exemption, but there has been no such decision as of yet. Figueroa arrived here as a refugee from El Salvador more than 16 years ago with his wife. He was ordered deported for his political involvement in the FMLN, a group which resisted the oppressive regime in El Salvador during the civil war.

KROEKER, Arthur Henry
March 2, 1929 - March 22, 2014
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Arthur Henry Kroeker. He is survived by his dear wife of 63 years, Vera, four children, Carol (Gord), Robert, Kathy (Ted), Marlene (Len), plus 13 grandchildren, one great granddaughter, and one great grandson to be born in May. Arthur’s parents immigrated from Russia to Canada in 1925 and settled in Glenbush, Saskatchewan. It was there that Arthur was born. In 1936, the family moved to Abbotsford, BC. Arthur was baptized in the Sumas Creek, and graduated from M.E.I. in 1945. He met Vera at 43rd Ave. Church, and they married Sept. 17, 1950. In 1963, Arthur was offered a management position for an oil filter company, Sky Corporation. It was during this time that Arthur attended Vancouver City College, and received his Business Administration Certificate. In 1969, he took the Real Estate exam and started his employment with Block Bros. He also taught at BCIT, and served as a director, Vice President, and President of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. He loved people and had a zest and passion for life. A memorial service will be held on April 14th at 2pm at South Langley Church, 20098 22nd Avenue, Langley, BC V2Z 1X4. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Greater Europe Mission at CanadaHelps.org where his grandchildren are missionaries in France.

Langley Has Talent finals this Saturday TICKETS AVAILABLE ONLINE AND FROM THE LANGLEY TIMES OFFICE BR ENDA ANDER S ON Tim es Reporter
The fourth annual Langley Has Talent final competition is just days away. This Saturday evening, the top 13 acts chosen from the March 29 semifinal contest will hit the stage at CLA once again. This time, they will vie for cash prizes totaling $5,000 In addition to awards of $2,500 for first place, $1,500 for second place and $1,000 for third place, there will also be scholarships and industry prize packages up for grabs. Among the acts scheduled to perform are singers, bands, dancers and an aerial acrobat. Evaluating their efforts will be a panel of celebrity judges, including talent agent Jolienne Moore, Leah Emmott, former drummer for the all-girl punk rock band LiveonRelease, and Langley TV and film actor Mike Roberds, best known for his role as Uncle Fester on The New Addams Family. “We are hoping that this event will provide the incentive and the motivation for our 13 outstanding finalists to pursue their performing passion,” said LHT founder Peter Luongo. “We have soloists singing both
cover and original tunes, bands, and some of Langley’s finest dancers. There is even a Cirque du Soleilstyle act. “These performers are truly outstanding.” At $20 a ticket Langley Has Talent offers an affordable evening of family-friendly entertainment, said Luongo. Any elementary or middle school student in the Langley school district will be admitted at no charge if each child is accompanied by an adult with a paid ticket. As in past years, Langley Has Talent is presented in co-operation by the four Rotary Clubs of Langley. Since the first competition was held in the spring of 2011, the goal has been to raise awareness about the need for a dedicated performing arts centre in Langley. This year’s final competition takes place at Christian Life Assembly, 21277 56 Ave. Doors open at 6:15 p.m., show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are available online at langleyhastalent.com or they can be picked up from the Langley Times office, 20258 Fraser Hwy.

Untreated hearing loss tied to lower earning potential Maximizing one’s ability to hear well should be part of any smart career strategy. Individual performance in an organization is found to be directly related to listening ability or perceived listening effectiveness. In fact, listening is one of the top skills employers seek in entry-level employees and in those being promoted. People who both hear and listen well are also more likely to establish positive working relationships with bosses, clients, and colleagues.

Spring cleaning hits the streets Cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore. Just gather your family and friends, pick your favourite neighbourhood, and help Clean Up Langley on Saturday, May 10. Now in its third year, Clean Up Langley is a community-wide clean-up event that targets various neighbourhoods with the goal of making our Township an even more beautiful place to live. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and businesses, community groups, families, and individuals are invited to spend anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours collecting litter and other waste. “Earth Day doesn’t have to end on April 22,” said Tess White, solid waste co-ordinator with the Township of Langley. “We’re hoping that more and more residents will see the benefit in volunteering their time so that our community can really sparkle and shine.” Last year, more than 300 people braved the rain and formed 15 groups to collect more than one tonne of garbage. This year, the event was put back a couple of weeks in the hopes of better weather, but it will be held rain or shine. Registrants can choose to join an existing large group or head out with their own group, armed with supplies provided by the Township of Langley. “We are lucky to live in such a beautiful place, and it is up to all of us to take care of it,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese. “Clean Up Langley Day is a great opportunity to enhance the environment and get to know other caring people in your community. It makes a big difference and is a lot of fun, so we encourage people of all ages to do what they can.” To take part, visit tol.ca/events by Thursday, May 1 to sign up and receive your Clean Up supplies. For more information, contact White at 604532-7300 or adopt@tol.ca.

Stomach Acid Wearing You Down? Prescription antacids are great for short-term relief of acid reflux, but blocking stomach acid production every single day has long-term risks for iron and B12 deficiency and osteoporosis – calcium, iron, and other nutrients require an acidic environment for optimal absorption.

Polygon unveils new community in Richmond: Avanti By Kerry Vital
Polygon Homes is bringing something brand-new to Richmond with Avanti, a three-tower community with an urban park. “The Avanti community is located in one of the best locations in the City of Richmond,” says Polygon Homes president and CEO Neil Chrystal. “Situated just one block east of the Aberdeen Canada Line Station, Avanti residents will be
steps away from hundreds of services, shops and restaurants including Aberdeen Centre and T&T Supermarket.” The first phase includes Richmond’s first Flatiron design building, a 15-storey tower with 164 one- and two-bedroom homes. Many of the homes will offer a panoramic view of the city, urban park or the North Shore mountains. Among the features in the homes will be engineered stone countertops, glass-tile backsplashes, flat-panel cabinetry and warm wood-style laminate flooring.
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
The adjacent urban park is one of the best amenities at Avanti. “The park will have a public plaza for live performances, an interactive walking path, green space and luminous art by internationally renowned Pacific Northwest artist Dan Corson,” says Chrystal. “Avanti allows residents to live, commute, shop and relax within a two-block radius and Polygon is ecstatic to contribute to the exciting transformation of this entire neighbourhood.” The park is expected to be completed in 2015, and the first tower in 2016. Other amenities include a residents-only Jewel Box-style clubhouse with a fully equipped fitness centre with a dance and yoga studio, recording studio, games room and hotelstyle rooftop with a grand whirlpool. There will also be a Googleplex-influenced multimedia lounge. The sales centre will open on April 12. For more information, check out www.polyhomes.com, call 604-2769186 or visit the sales centre at 8311 Cambie Road, Richmond.

The CresseyKitchen is one of the most stunning parts of the homes at Cadence, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and a marble backsplash. Homeowners will have access to tons of amenities, including an expansive podium rooftop garden. Other beautiful features of the homes include wide-plank engineered hardwood flooring, large windows and a rain shower head in the bathroom for an extra luxurious feeling.
Richmond’s healthiest homes at Cressey’s Cadence By Kerry Vital
Luxury and style is evident at Cressey’s Cadence, a new project in Richmond’s Oval Village that will eventually include two residential towers and tons of amenities. “This is the first master-planned mixeduse community in Richmond,” says David Evans, development manager for Cressey. “It’s anchored by the Oval itself, and everything is built up ... around it.” The location is one of the driving forces behind Cadence. Just a block from the water and its leisure and recreation opportunities, Cadence will be one of the most wellconnected developments in the city, with shopping, dining and transit all within walking distance or on-site. “People are recognizing the benefits of the Oval Village,” says Evans. Healthy living is top of mind at Cadence, especially with its proximity to the Richmond Olympic Oval. “We have a grand perspective for interior
air quality, earth, water and personal wellbeing,” says Evans. “Each suite has individual water filtration and energy recovery ventilation that brings fresh air into each home.” Every suite will have air-conditioning to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, as well as an outdoor space perfect for entertaining and over-height ceilings that contribute to the airy and spacious feeling. Cressey has decided not to include carpet in the homes, and instead features wide-plank engineered hardwood flooring throughout, with tile in the bathrooms. Perhaps one of the best parts of the homes at Cadence is the famous CresseyKitchen, with stainless-steel appliances, fully integrated Chef ’s Wall, polished quartz countertops complemented by a marble backsplash and European-inspired full-height cabinetry and task lighting. “People are thrilled and surprised by the kitchen itself,” says Evans. “It’s like a kitchen in a single-family home. It’s a show-stopper.” Elegant bathrooms have quartz countertops and wood-grained floating vanities with under-cabinet lighting and a modern polished marble tile floor. The ensuite has heated tile flooring by Nu-heat, for that extra touch of luxury. A rain shower head adds a spa-like feel to the space, complemented by stylish chrome faucets. Continuing the theme of healthy living at Cadence, there will be a branch of Steve Nash
Fitness World on the ground level, and every homeowner will be given a membership. There will also be an array of shops, restaurants and other commercial spaces on the bottom level, making running errands convenient. An expansive podium rooftop garden will feature an outdoor patio and barbecue area, outdoor fireplace, reflecting pond, private gardening plots and a children’s play area, among many other amenities. Cadence will also have a private concierge service. For more information, visit www.cressey. com/cadence or call 604-276-8683. The presentation centre in Richmond is open by appointment.

Fraser Plastics gets some plastic from other sources, but Gill said the plastic collected curbside from homes that’s now guaranteed to Merlin made up 50 to 60 per cent of what they required. “That won’t keep us afloat,” Gill said

said. “It’s just not fair.” Klassen said the CFIB and a coalition of affected industries continue to lobby the province to rethink the handover to MMBC, which is still slated for May 19. The program, mandated by the province, aims to make retailers and other generators of packaging and paper shoulder the full cost of recycling it, rather than municipalities. But various sectors, including newspapers, have balked at the high fees MMBC plans to charge and say the agency is controlled by Ontario-based corporate executives who are protecting their firms’ interests at the expense of others. “We’re not considering delaying it,” Premier Christy Clark told reporters April 2, adding Environment Minister Mary Polak is continuing to work to address unresolved issues. Gill predicts the demise of recyclers like Fraser Plastics will ultimately result in a less competitive industry with much higher costs to consumers come 2019 – the next time bids will be allowed for the recycling business controlled by MMBC. “In five years all these companies are going to be gone.”

Blaze ready for season’s challenges LANGLEY PREMIER BASEBALL PROGRAM WILL PLAY IN TWO LEAGUES GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts
The Langley Blaze have always prided themselves on playing a long and arduous schedule. For example, every March, the team heads to Arizona for their annual spring training trek where they face local junior colleges and pro minor league teams. This year’s trip consisted of 29 games in 10 days. And adding to the degree of difficulty for the U18 Premier baseball program will be playing in a pair of leagues this spring and summer. Beginning tomorrow (April 11), Langley will once again be among the favourites in the B.C. Premier Baseball League as they kick off their 48-game schedule. They open with a road game in Abbotsford against the Cardinals and play their home opener at McLeod Park on Tuesday (April 15) versus the White Rock Tritons. Game time is 6:30 p.m. But adding a little twist to things in 2014 will be the Blaze’s inclusion in the Seattle Premier League. The SPL will see the Blaze play a
20-game schedule against some of the top high school aged players from Seattle and Washington State. The season begins in June and goes until August. T h e P B L reg u l a r season wraps up in mid-July. “We are going to be in tough, but it is going to be some good competition,” said Blaze coach Jamie Bodaly. “This will elevate the calibre of the teams we will play.” Playing in the league will give the Langley players even more exposure to the scouts for Division 1 schools in the Pac-12 Conference. The 2014 edition of the Blaze boasts some impressive depth in the pitching rotation. “Whereas the last couple of years we haven’t made it out of the playoffs because our arms haven’t
been quite as dominant, I think our pitching staff, one through five, are phenomenal,” Bodaly said. “Good pitching beats good hitting (and) that is w h y I am excited for t h i s year. Our pitching in the playoffs will really help us.” Of course, having such depth comes with consequences too. Three of the team’s five pitchers — Kristjan Storrie, Kyle Ross and Kurtis Horne — have been invited back to Baseball Canada’s junior national team camp this month. Also at the camp are positional players Mitchell Robinson and Luke Horanski. All five could potentially make the junior national team and would miss significant chunks of the Blaze season.
Langley should also be better defensively than they have been in years past. Another player to watch this season include shortstop Kyle McComb, whom Bodaly called the team’s best at the position in the past four or five years. “Our pitchers are going to love having him at shortstop,” Bodaly said. ••• As a final tune-up for the season, Langley won the Best of the West tournament in Kamloops over the weekend at Norbrock Stadium. It marked the fifth straight time the team has taken the title. Connor Chorpita was the tournament’s most valuable player. The Blaze went undefeated and hammered the Okanagan Athletics 13-0 in the championship final with Storrie allowing just one hit in the game. Langley also beat Vauxhall Academy 11-3, edged the Edmonton Prospects 6-5 and beat the Parksville Royals 5-1. They beat Okotoks 9-8 in the semifinals.
Langley was never a huge lacrosse centre when Garrett Billings was growing up. With not as many numbers as some of the bigger Lower Mainland towns and cities, the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association would usually just have two teams for each age group. But Billings said that could have been a blessing in disguise for the Langley players. “Just enough kids (on the team) to scrape by, but it made you a better player because you had to be good in all aspects of the game,” he explained. “You didn’t have a lot of depth (but) I think it ended up benefiting us a lot.” Those teams would have 10 or 11 players on each roster. Billings figured probably half earned college scholarships and three are now playing professionally in the National Lacrosse League. Kyle Belton was sent from the Toronto Rock to the Philly Wings at the NLL trade deadline last month, while Brad Richardson was a free agent pickup by the Vancouver Stealth. Both the 27-year-old Belton and 28-yearold Richardson are in their second years in the league. And Billings, who is also 28, is having an MVP-calibre year in his fourth season in the league with the Toronto Rock. Through the first 15 games of this season, Billings leads in points (101) and assists (69) and is averaging 6.8 points per game. Billings surpassed Continued Page 35

Injury ends MVP-calibre season the 100-point plateau on Saturday night with seven assists in a 17-9 victory for the Rock over the Vancouver Stealth at the Langley Events Centre. He became the first player in league history to achieve 100 points or more in three consecutive seasons. But unfortunately, Billings tore his ACL in the second quarter and his season is over. He had spoken to The Times last week. And with 473 points in 78 career games played — an average of 6.1 points per game — Billings could potentially challenge lacrosse legend John Tavares, who has 1,707 points in 293 games, an average of 5.8 per game. Of course, Tavares is still going strong in the league at age 45. Billings downplays his success. “Unfortunately it hasn’t come with better team results, but it has been a good year,” Billings said, referring to his team’s record. “Offensively, we have had a strong year, which makes it easier for me.” Billings says he is benefiting from the team’s consistency on offence as well as the work he put in during the off-season is paying off. “I have put a little bit more effort into conditioning in the off-season just so that every shift you can be effective as possible,” he said. “(And) I have ended up with the ball on my stick a lot more. But nothing too crazy.” Billings has been named the NLL player of the month for both February and March. Billings came to town early last week talking to newspapers and TV stations to help promote the game. Helping grow the game is nothing new for Billings, as he now also works for the Rock doing their community programming. “The simple goal is to get as many kids playing lacrosse as we can,” he explained. Billings is very familiar with the Stealth’s home floor at the LEC as he has spent four of the past five summers playing senior A lacrosse with the Langley Thunder of the Western Lacrosse Association. In
42 career WLA games, he has 79 goals and 196 points. He also worked for a time at the LEC and played an NLL exhibition game a few years back when the Rock came to town. Even before his injury, playing this summer for the Thunder had been been put on hold as he wanted to focus on coaching.
Garrett Billings return to the Langley Events Centre was cut short by a torn ACL injury. ALY S S A O’DELL L an gley Tim es

Centre. “Right from the get go, we put ourselves behind the eight ball,� said Stealth captain Kyle Sorenson, who returned to the lineup after missing time with a knee injury. “We battled back a bit after the slow start, but then we fell asleep again.� Vancouver battled back from an early 2-0 hole to briefly tie the game but the Rock led 6-2 after one quarter and 11-4 at the half. The Rock’s Garrett Billings was playing in front of about 50 family and friends as he returned to his hometown. The 28-year-old entered the game leading the league in assists and points and was having an MVP-calibre season. And he had seven assists on the first nine Toronto goals before tearing his ACL, an injury that ends his season. Without their offen-

sive leader in the second half, the Rock still managed to out-score the Stealth 6-5 over the final 30 minutes to win 17-9. “We showed flashes of brilliance but that’s not good enough,� said Sorenson. “We know we can play 60 minutes; we did it last week against Buffalo.� The Stealth were led by Rhys Duch’s four goals while Brett Bucktooth had five assists. Lewis Ratcliff had two goals and an assist and Tyler Digby scored twice and set up another. Cliff Smith and Jamie Lincoln had the other goals. Matt Roik stopped 25 of 36 shots while Tyler Richards made four saves on 10 shots as the Stealth used both goaltenders. The loss drops Vancouver to 4-10 on the season with four games to play. They trail the Colorado Mammoth (5-10) by a half game for the final playoff spot in the West Division. The Stealth are on the road this weekend (April 12) in Rochester to face the Knighthawks in a rematch of the 2013 Champion’s Cup final.

“We finished off playing our best hockey and the scores are reflective of that.� The Griffins capped things off with a 7-1 victory over the Langley Blades in the championship final on March 30 at the George Preston Recreation Centre. In the Griffins’ three other games in the an-
nual Cup tournament, they won 5-2, 7-2 and 5-1. The Blades had lost their first game of the double knockout tournament but reeled off three straight winor-go home games to advance to the finals before running into a Griffens squad that has been on fire for the latter half of the
season. “We started off a little bit slow but we have played well the rest of the season,� Frederick said. The Griffins won the regular season banner
after prevailing in a tiebreaker game and then went undefeated in the playoff round to capture the Fraser Valley West banner. They carried that momentum into the
Langley Cup, steamrolling their opponents by a combined score of 24-6. “We like to play an uptempo style and rely on teamwork,� Frederick said.
“Everyone has a role and a responsibility.� The Griffins also won a tournament on the Sunshine Coast back in January and finished the season with a record of 30-5-5.

Wildcats beat nemesis when it matters most G A RY A H U J A Ti m e s S p o r t s
So many times a coaching staff will tell its players that if you pass the puck, good things will happen. And that is what happened with the Langley Wildcats. The first three times this season, the Wildcats faced off against the Langley Phantoms in peewee hockey action and all three times, the Phantoms
prevailed. But going back to a tournament in New Westminster over spring break and the Wildcats found their groove. “We were playing more as a team and we started scoring more because the boys start-
ed passing more,� said Wildcats coach Chris Brawdy. “We were playing more as a team and we really focused on pressing the play all the time. Whereas before, we would have one guy go on a solo rush and everyone else
would watch him.� Buoyed by that momentum from that tournament, the Wildcats were perfect at the Langley Cup tournament, capturing the peewee Cup with a 4-2 victory over the Phantoms in the finals of the tournament on
March 30 at George Preston Recreation Centre. The Wildcats finished the season with nine wins in their final 10 games, and only allowed 14 goals in that span. Goaltending and defence were the hall-
mark of the team all year, Brawdy said, as the team was accustomed to winning, but usually by a 2-1 score. The coach credited the play of goaltender Kevin Craig — who was the team’s only option in goal for much of the season because of
injury — and defenceman Brady Lumsden, the team captain. “Kevin was fantastic all year, lights out,� Brawdy said. “(And) even when we weren’t scoring, we were pretty much in every game because of those two guys.�

variable valve timing, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The two base engines available are a solid 2.4-litre four-cylinder and a 2.5 version, both of which are likely adequate for commuter use. I headed straight for Highway One and it positively purred along the long, clear stretches open to the daytime driver. Great acceleration in take-off and passing with limited lean and sway when cornering at speed. Back in urban madness, it offered a good view of fast encroaching vehicles from side streets and the rear. I mention this because I expected the sleek window profiles might hinder views, especially to the rear. Hence, it was also not as much of a beast to park at the supermarket as I had feared. Light steering also assisted in that manouevre. On the urban performance front, the transmission took the annoyance out of stop-go traffic. Have to think it was gulping gas though in smoothing out the urban trek. The Impala with the V6 starts at $32,945 (around $3,000 more than the 4-cylinder-equipped versions) but the test car options, which included rear park assist, rear vision camera, collision and lane departure alerts, premium audio, sunroof, added another $7,000. It will compete with the Dodge Charger and Ford Taurus domestically and a host of imports. Now to my reservations: the fuel economy for the V6 is 11.1/6.9L 100km (city/highway) and while that is not bad for a large car, it’s not the best in its segment. The four-cylinder eco version is impressive at 8.7/5.8L 100km (city/ highway). That said,I don’t think fuel economy will be a deal breaker for most people. My continued reservations really boil down to reliability. It’s a brand new car and we should wait a couple or three years before anointing this car as the best domestic sedan ever. That caution should not stop you from taking one for a spin. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

A Ford Euro car for the Americas Ford has done an excellent job of using its worldwide expertise to bring some very practical, yet fun to drive, small cars to North America. Using Europeans to build the Ford Focus and Fiesta for a worldwide market enabled the manufacturer to bring these superb handling cars virtually unchanged to our shores. On top of that, Ford is also selling their sportiest ST versions of both these cars. The Focus ST was introduced last year and this year we get the Fiesta ST “hot hatch”. I’ve been a huge fan of the Fiesta. In fact, I prefer it to the bigger Focus, it is a perfect city runabout with go-cart like handling and a stylish little package. Looks For 2014, all Fiesta models get a minor facelift with a new front grille and headlights. The ST is easy to spot because of the black honeycomb

climate functions. The screen is rather small and far away from the driver, which makes accessing the small, virtual buttons on the screen a challenge. However, it does look much better than the older Fiesta dash. The ST comes standard with very powerful front seat heaters, automatic climate control, a fat leather steering wheel with redundant radio controls and a leather covered manual shifter. The back seat has always been tight in the Fiesta; this is perfect for a single person or couple, not the best for a family. Drive In an era of cars that almost drive themselves, the Fiesta ST is a throwback to a time when the driver felt connected to the machine. The suspension is much firmer than the regular Fiesta, almost harsh over bumpy roads but the feedback to the driver through the
tight steering ratio, firm chassis and the grippy Recaro seats is superb. The turbocharged, direct injection 1.6L Ecoboost engine pumps out 197hp.

This really is a car that does everything very well, including getting good fuel economy when the throttle is used lightly: using only 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.6L on the highway. Verdict At $24,999, the price might seem a bit steep for a subcompact car but
this little machine comes almost fully loaded for that price. The options available are not “must have” items so the price can be kept in check. This Fiesta ST is a gem in the subcompact class, delivering great economy, fabulous interior and plenty of smiles. The ST just delivers much bigger smiles. Zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

2015 Subaru WRX STI
POjai, CA. - Four-time World Rally Champion (WRC), Tommi Mäkinen, is behind the wheel of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in the middle of nowhere, California. I’m riding shotgun along with two others in the back. The ease and effortlessness in which he wrangles the 305 turbocharged horses of the Subaru via the 6-speed manual gearbox is really no surprise. After all, he’s not a champion because he looks good doing it. So, if the pro can make it look and feel as perfect as
ALEXANDRA STRAUB
a summer’s day, I should be able to as well, right? I slip into the captain’s chair of the STI – without Tommi in the car, thank goodness – and take to the 3.1-mile track. Prior to the hot laps, I had driven the outgoing 2014 Subaru STI on the same course. I’d be back-to-back testing these all-wheel drive machines to see how the engineering prowess has, yet again, continued to make a vehicle with a cultlike following even better. Rewind a few hours to the start-of-the-day’s press conference. Masuo Takatsu, WRX STI Follow us at:

Dip don’t dazzle, buddy! Reader Yvonne Logan thinks there should be a universal hand signal that would alert a following car’s driver that they have left on their high beams. “I've tried sticking my hand out the window and waving and even hitting my brake lights three times as some sort of signal,” Logan writes. “Never any luck with that, so I end up just praying that an oncoming car will flash their lights.It's blinding and obviously dangerous . . . I feel like I'm being chased by a jet!” What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

The 2015 Ford F150 is a head turner The all-new 2015 Ford F150 turned some heads at the Vancouver International Auto show including mine. Here’s close look at what’s new and different. I think the first thing that impresses is the new styling. The LED back lit headlights are a real stand out and the grille is a threebar traveling all the way down to the bumper, very nice. Next noteworthy change is the super lightweight military grade aluminum alloy body, weighing almost 318 kgs less than the previous model. We saw glimpses of this with Ford’s concept truck, the Atlas, but did not expect it to become reality so soon. No waste of materials building this new truck. Any unused aluminum during manufacture is reclaimed. When it goes on sale late this year, there will be five trims available: XL, XLT, Lariat, Platinum and King Ranch. Chrome appearance packages are available with them all. Monochromatic sport appearance packages are avail-

Can’t believe I’ve got this far talking about a truck without mentioning power! - One of the engine choices is a new 2.7L EcoBoost engine that has undergone more than 16 million kilometres of testing. The other motors are the new 3.5L V6 EcoBoost that combines the efficiency of twin independent variable camshaft timing, and flex fuel capabilities, a 3.5L EcoBoost engine, which we are familiar with and a 5.0L V8. The trucks equipped with EcoBoost engines will benefit from standard Active Grille Shutters. Active Grille Shutters stay open when extra engine cooling is needed, such as during low-speed stop-and-go driving or while working in hot weather. They automatically close to reduce aerodynamic drag at cruising speed. Fuel economy numbers and prices should be released soon. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca
Confessions of a Curber
Thank goodness, the stolen vehicle was behind me. Did I feel bad? Yes. Does it make me a bad person for selling a stolen vehicle? Probably. But to outsiders, my life hasn’t changed. I’m still the same old Walt. Oh, if they only knew. I was on a roll. To my disbelief, I’d sold seven cars already. I guess you could say it was a part of me now – I “flip” cars on the side. And, I was branching out – with a truck and camper. The truck had been rebuilt. It was roadworthy again. I even had the inspection records to prove it. And the camper? That was marketing genius. When I put it up for sale, I fibbed. But only a little bit. “Truck for sale. Fixed after fender bender, looks new. Includes camper. It’s been in an accident, so I’m selling both for a low price. Great for family adventures. Call if interested.” Shortly after, I got a call. The man had a distinct, charming accent. He asked me what a “fender bender” was. I explained that it was a small accident. He seemed pleased and asked to meet me the next day. I assumed he was relatively new to the country, so I thought this would be an easy sale. Boy was I wrong! He’d gone to “new immigrant” welcome classes, where they shared information about life in Canada. I think this was where he developed an interest in camping Canadian style. He knew all the right questions to ask. But, I
gave him all the wrong answers. And, I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy for the truck to be safe. He also asked for a vehicle history report. I pulled the CarProof report out. I mean, I had nothing to hide. He asked me what “rebuilt*” meant. I told him that, because of the small accident, the transmission needed to be rebuilt. Oh, but I’d altered the sections detailing the amount of damage. Judging from his English skills, I’m sure he didn’t understand the difference. At least he was trying. He got an “A” for effort. I hope he figures out that the truck and camper would be unsafe on the road when he gets it fully loaded with passengers, fuel and gear. Good thing I have my “no returns” policy! Yes, I know what you’re all thinking. This is the lowest of the low. But you have to understand. I was slightly manic about this whole thing. At this point, I would do anything to make a sale and get myself another wallet full of cash.
*Rebuilt - This status is assigned to “salvage” vehicles after they have been repaired and have passed inspection. Vehicle status alone does not fully describe a vehicle’s mechanical condition or damage history. This applies to RVs, motorcycles, cars and trucks.
“I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy to be safe.”

VAN GARDEREN, Breunis It is with great sadness that we announce that Breunis (Bruce) Van Garderen has gone home to be with the Lord at age 64. Bruce was born in Veenendaal, The Netherlands on January 28, 1950. He died on April 5, 2014 at Langley Hospice surrounded by his loving family. Bruce was diagnosed with cancer in January. After a brave fight he was called home to be with his Lord and Saviour and is now safe in the arms of Jesus. He is predeceased by his mother Neeltje (1985) and his father Pieter (2006). He is survived by his loving wife Ridi, his children Peter (Amanda), Elsabee (Jeff) and Sebastiaan (Amie) along with his grandchildren, whom he adored; Alexa, Kristian, Mattheus, Shaylynne, Wyatt, Tobiah and Esme. He is also survived by his two brothers and two sisters in Holland and many nieces and nephews. In 1967 he met Ridi, the love of his life. They married in 1970. Bruce, Ridi and their three small children emigrated from Veenendaal to Canada in 1981, settling in the Cloverdale/Langley area. In Canada he worked as a comptroller, then owned and operated two import businesses before pursuing his true passion and talent as a full-time gardener. Bruce was well known and much loved in his community, mainly through the friendships he established in his work with the Maples Discovery Co-op Gardens in Langley as well as the Grace Community Church in Surrey and later Christian Life Assembly in Langley. In recognition of his all-natural gardening advocacy and leadership he was named Langley’s 2010 Environmental Hero. Bruce was very active in the community and served as a mentor to many. He touched countless lives through his positive attitude and by making a conscious, daily effort to serve as a reflection of God’s love for all people. He is dearly missed. A public celebration of his life will be held at Christian Life Assembly (21277 56th Ave, Langley) on Wednesday, April 16 starting at 7pm. “I am with you always”Matthew 28:20

Nov. 12, 1990 – March 30, 2014 109 CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Richard could run like the wind and now he has left us behind to live within it. Taken from his inconsolable family at only 23 years old in the early morning of March 30, Richard was loved without reserve by his mother, Linda, father Leagh and older sister Tara of Cloverdale. He always made time for his grandmother Marge Kent of Vancouver and his grandparents Roi and Carell Shermann of White Rock. Often called Richie by friends and family, his cousins, aunts and uncles and many, many friends feel his absence keenly. Richard was a happy individual. More importantly, he made others happy. His smile and outlook on life was always bright. His too short, life was punctuated by the things he loved – family time, his friends, sports and the outdoors. Referred to as ‘our mudbowl baby’ Richard was born November 12, 1990. An incredibly active and adventurous child, he was skiing by the age of 5. Every winter family friends, Kurt and Charmaine made sure Richard had a home base to indulge his passion on the slopes of Hemlock Mountain. Growing up, it was quickly apparent Rich had inherited his father’s sprinting ability and his mother’s determination. He distinguished himself playing both high school and community football in Langley. But it was golf that claimed his teenage pursuits. Named for his grandfather Richard Kent, they shared a passion for golf that grew over the past five years to the point where Richard was quite accomplished. He shared the love of golf with his Uncle Bob, and often played with his Uncle David and it encouraged his Dad and buddy Steve to take up the game even though they had little hope of catching him. Again, Rich had a step on them. Summers from early childhood were spent outdoors. Richard loved summers in Osoyoos wakeboarding behind Uncle Steve’s boat and shared many happy weekends on Gossip Island with the Friesens. The Hyneks and Shermanns were an extended family spending many weekend and summer vacations together plus regular trips to Mexico where each family member contributed to incredible memories. All the ‘kids’ planned their work around family trips to Tulameen and Whistler. In addition to his parents and sister, Richard has left behind his uncle David, Aunty Cyndy and Liz, uncle Steve, aunty Mary, Lisa, Bryan and Bobbie, grandma Marge, aunty Linda, grandma Carrel and grandpa Roi, aunty Carelyn, Montana and aunty Shelagh. His grandpa Richard Kent and uncle Bob Kent predecease Richard. Richard has left us much too soon. He loved and was loved. Deeply and unconditionally. For those that knew Richard, they may recognize him some day soon in the wind that swirls by. The soft breeze he’ll lay across our cheek will temper the gusts of emotion that will buffet us. Richie will never be forgotten. A celebration of Richard’s life is planned for 11:00 am, Saturday, April 19 at Newlands Golf Course in Langley. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to your favorite charity.
