Community steps up for beaten man MORE THAN $8,000 DONATED MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
The story of a Langley man who was beaten and robbed at the Langley City bus loop on Friday night has struck a chord with thousands of people. Less than two days after The Times wrote about Chris Lafrenier being kicked in the head and the arrest of two teens, $8,235 had been raised on a Gofundme.com account set up for Lafrenier. Two strangers each made $1,000 donations. Lafrenier and his wife, Lauren Blair, are overwhelmed by the generosity. “It brought tears to us all. God bless all and Merry Christmas,” writes Lafrenier’s mother-in-law Lynn Blair on the Gofundme site. Numerous people are creating hampers for food for the couple’s two dogs and cat, as well as food and gift cards for them. On The Times Facebook page, there were more than 45,000 views of his story, and 273 people shared the article with friends, as of Wednesday morning. Still in his work clothes, Lafrenier, 39, was waiting at the notoriously violent Logan Avenue bus exchange, when two Langley teens attacked him just before midnight. The pair, aged 15 and 19, punched the rebar worker in the face, breaking his nose, chipping a tooth, causing his eyes to swell and cutting his head. When he fell to the ground, witnesses said he was kicked repeatedly in the head by the teens. Police arrived to find Lafrenier face down, not
moving and with a pool of blood around his head. He was only able to open his eyes on Sunday. He has a brain injury and won’t be able to work for an unknown amount of time. He is the sole income earner for the couple. With the money raised, the couple plans to pay rent ahead for a few months. Moved to help, Willoughby Town Centre Dental is offering to fix his broken tooth for free. Meanwhile, Langley City Mayor Ted Schaffer said he has sent Lafrenier’s story to TransLink Police for a response on safety at the bus loop. “It’s time for TransLink to step up and do some work in Langley, not just having transit police on SkyTrain,” said Schaffer. The City wanted to put up surveillance cameras at the bus exchange but ran into roadblocks from TransLink and the Privacy Commissioner. But the new mayor doesn’t believe the City is doing enough at the bus exchange. “Our police are working very hard and we have bylaw officers on the weekends,” he said. He is sickened by what happened. “How can those teenagers live with themselves? Can’t a person go to work and get home safe?” said Schaffer. Meanwhile, TransLink Police say they are aware of the beating and violence erupting at the City bus loop. A response on what transit police plan to do is forthcoming, said spokesperson Anne Drennan.

The new Township council was formally sworn in Monday night. Visible from left: Kim Richter, Charlie Fox, Petrina Arnason, Blair Whitmarsh, Mayor Jack Froese, David Davis and Bob Long.
Township of Langley council sworn in – twice MAYOR AND COUNCILLORS TAKE THE OATH AT AFTERNOON SESSION IN ORDER TO GET TO WORK DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter
As the councillors took their seats to begin the first meeting of the newly-elected Township council on Monday afternoon, Councillor David Davis could be heard cheerfully warning his new neighbours that he requires a lot of room. Davis now sits between Councillors Michelle Sparrow and Bob Long, the result of a change in the seating order made by Mayor Jack Froese, who decides who sits where. After the last election, the novice mayor Froese decided to have the most experienced councillors sit closest to him, which meant Davis and Sparrow were the farthest away. This time, Froese reversed the seating to put novice councillors Petrina Arnason, Blair Whitmarsh and Angie Quaale closest to him. The afternoon meeting began with
the swearing-in of the new council, an quick, informal affair that saw the mayor and councillors read their oaths while seated at their desks, then adjourn for a closed-door in-camera session, followed by an hour-long public meeting on a number of issues that required decisions. The simultaneous reading of the oath by the eight councillors was a little ragged, leading veteran councillor Long to call it a “Babylon.” The evening meeting, which repeated the swearing-in ceremony, was far more formal, with a piper and an honour guard leading council members into the chambers to be sworn in by Judge Melissa Gillespie. During the inaugural comments, Councillor Kim Richter noted the new council had the highest percentage of women in Langley history and predicted there would be more battles over the pace of develop-
ment in the Township, saying “new growth does not pay for itself.” Councillor Charlie Fox cracked a joke about the new seating arrangement, saying “it looks like the longer you serve, the farther away you get from the mayor.” Arnason talked about her late mother Muriel, the first woman to serve on council, calling her a “personal touchstone.” Muriel Arnason passed away seven years (to the day) before her daughter’s inauguration. Blair Whitmarsh talked about watching his children grow up in Langley and how he was excited to shape the future of their community. Angie Quaale did fine until she began to thank her father, when she teared up and needed a moment to compose herself. Continued Page 6

Williams Park Christmas saved M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
Christmas in Williams Park could be sparkling bright for the holidays after all. Christmas in Williams Park Society president Barb Sharp said after the outpouring of support and donations from the community to save the light show, she is “taking a leap of faith” and planning to light up the park and have it ready to open Dec. 11 to Dec. 21. “It truly is a real Christmas miracle,” said Sharp. “The public has been donating and really want to save Christmas in Williams Park so we have to try. The Township is behind us and the community is too,” said Sharp. The Township mayor and volunteers and hopefully many members of the public will come to the official lighting of the park on Thursday, Dec. 11 at 5 p.m. Sharp is asking for volunteers to show up on Sunday, Dec. 7, at 10 a.m. at the park to be ready to hang lights and put up inflatables. It may rain but “we have done the lights in the rain before.” The two-day festivities of horse drawn-carriage rides and Santa can’t take place this year, but there are promises for an even bigger and
better events next year. More than $1,000 has been raised so far, with dollars and light donations coming in all the time. It was less than two weeks ago when the society announced a Grinch had truly stolen Christmas from Williams Park and it wouldn’t be able to hold the annual light show and two-day festivities, as it had done for 22 years. Thieves had made off with around $10,000 worth of lights stored at the park some time in October. It was the second theft in two years and one the society thought it just couldn’t come back from. But the community spirit prevailed over the Grinch, and numerous people have been helping. Kore Irrigation and Lighting, located at 19140 28 Ave., is offering discounted LED lights to purchase for the park, and is acting as a drop off station for anyone wanting to donate LED lights or cords. They are open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. Only LED lights can be accepted for Williams Park. Anyone interested in volunteering or in offering lights or private donations can email christmasinwilliamspark@shaw.ca or show up on Sunday.

A large contingent of Langley RCMP officers were called to the 20200 block of 54A Avenue on Tuesday afternoon, after receiving reports of a shot fired. Police are seeking more information from the public about the incident. There are no reports of injuries.
Shot fired in Langley City alley MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter
Langley RCMP were in the back alley of the 20200 block of 54A Avenue investigating a report of a single shot fired. Police were called around 12:15 p.m. Tuesday. Witnesses said the single shot came from a back alley
and when police attended, no one was there. A vehicle was seen leaving the area, however it is uncertain if it was related to the incident. The number of occupants in the vehicle is also unknown. Investigators have not said if any injuries were sustained as
a result of the shot. By 2 p.m., officers were still on scene and working their way through an apartment in the area. If you have any information that would assist police with this investigation, please call Langley RCMP at 604-5323200.
Ishtar’s two transition houses will keep operating, says board B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Ishtar Transition Housing Society will continue to provide service to women and children fleeing domestic violence through its safe houses in both Aldergrove and Langley City. The news comes after former management and ITHS board members announced last week that changes to Ishtar’s service delivery meant that it would no longer operate Langley’s two transition houses. A release sent to the media last week also stated that layoff notices had been issued for Ishtar’s 33 full-time, part-time and casual employees. The decision to restructure — which has now been overturned — was made during a meeting held on Nov. 24. Three board
members were absent from that meeting, including newly-appointed board chair John Rogers. Following an emergency meeting, held on Sunday (Nov. 30), the ITHS board of directors accepted the resignations of seven former board members, including the former president, and appointed two new members. The new board of directors also accepted a blanket resignation from the Valley Group, which had been hired to run the society, as well as from the two acting executive directors contracted by the Valley Group to manage its operations. In addition, the board informed the BCGEU that no layoffs would be forthcoming. “It’s Christmas time and we have funding,” said Rogers, adding there is no reason for anyone to lose their jobs.
• Integrated Cancer Care • Fertility & IUI • IUD Insertion • Women’s Health • Pediatrics • Laser Therapy • Acupuncture • Acute & Chronic Illness • Skin Care & Dermal Fillers
There is currently no executive director in place at Ishtar. Instead, operations have been taken over by four members of the board, said Rogers, who has been a director with ITHS since September. “We’re currently just trying to sort through everything,” said Rogers. He said the current board has the support of the employees’ union as well as B.C. Housing, which provides $32 million in funding annually for transition houses and related services across B.C., including $1 million in Langley. “The board is acting side by side with every single stakeholder.” The society’s restructuring came after former executive director, Pat Romanin, sent out a press release last week announcing the changes to Ishtar’s services
and, in a later interview, explained that the decision was made because the demand for shelter beds had decreased to the point where the beds were instead being filled by women with drug addiction and mental health issues, creating a dangerous situation for residents and staff. In fact, domestic violence is not on the decline in B.C. — quite the opposite — according to a joint statement released by Ishtar and the B.C. Society of Transition Houses on Monday. The BCSTH release states that there have been 12 deaths in 2014 of women connected to violent relationships, and the figure is double the number of deaths related to domestic violence in B.C. in 2013. The two transition houses Ishtar operates are at over 90 per cent occupancy.

Mayor to form task force on public engagement From Page 1
Quaale went on to promise that she would continue to hold community meetings to get public input. Sparrow also got a little choked up, in her case when she was thanking defeated councillors Bev Dornan, Grant Ward and Steve Ferguson for their service. Quaale handed Sparrow a tissue. Then it was Davis’ turn. He asked for the whole box of tissues, then wordlessly passed it to Long, who mimed dabbing at his eyes. A then-serious Davis predicted there would be times when his views and views of some residents would clash, that “there will be times when we will agree and we will not agree, but I will always listen.” Long thanked people who didn’t vote for him because they were “participating in the process.” Froese singled out defeated councillor Ward, who was in the audience for the evening ceremony, telling Ward that he, along with Dornan and Ferguson have all “left a mark on this community.” Ward rose from his seat to the applause of the audience. Froese went on to say it was clear that the process of public consultation in Langley needed improving, a reference to the controversies over development in Fort Langley and Brookswood,

The other two issues Froese identified were public safety, specifically crime, and transportation, like the need for better public transit.

Avoid the Winter Blues Is the changing weather getting you down? It could be the onset of Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. SAD can be caused by changes to the circadian rhythm of the body, or its biological clock. Changes in the amount of daily sunlight can disrupt the body’s natural rhythm and contribute to an imbalance in hormones like serotonin and melatonin. 5-HTP Is an amino acid that aids in transforming tryptophan into serotonin. Since 5-HTP is not present in significant amounts in a typical diet, taking a supplemental form can be very beneficial in improving mood and sleep.
Vitamin D Known as the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D plays a critical role in many of the body’s systems. New research has shown it may be helpful in the prevention of depression and be beneficial to overall feelings of wellbeing.

Bail in meth smuggling case D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
An American judge has released two Chilliwack residents who were arrested at the Aldergrove border crossing on Sunday, Nov. 23 for allegedly trying to smuggle a “boxed drug lab” of methamphetamine chemicals into the U.S. Calum James Buchanan, 40, and Lola Crystal McKay, 24, were ordered freed by a Whatcom County Superior Court judge in Bellingham on Monday, Nov. 24. The judge set bail at $50,000 for Buchanan, while releasing McKay on her own recognizance. The pair were arrested after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered the chemicals in a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am.
The car arrived at the border around 7 p.m. with “two plastic wrapped large plastic storage containers” in the back seat as well as “two gas cans with duct taping, metal strainers bearing white residue and a white chemical bottle,” according to an affidavit filed by a Whatcom County deputy prosecuting attorney. “Inside the trunk of the vehicle were another plastic wrapped storage container made of plastic with what appeared to be a five gallon bucket.” A U.S. customs officer became nauseated and vomited after breathing fumes from the materials. The crossing was shut down in both directions and the officer was rushed to Saint Joseph
DELIVERY AFTER 5PM
Medical Center in Bellingham. A Haz-Mat (hazardous materials) team was called in to remove what appeared to be chemicals and equipment used to manufacture methamphetamine. The officer was “successfully treated,” the Blaine U.S. Customs and Border Protection office said. The border was re-opened after about an hour. According to the affidavit, Buchanan told investigators he was going to be paid $500 “to deliver this lab to a third party in Canada” while McKay “denied any knowledge that there was a boxed drug lab in the vehicle.” Buchanan and McKay are scheduled to return to court in Bellingham on Friday, Dec. 5.

Question langeytimes.com
The two municipal governments in Langley are now under the control of the new councils. It was instructive to hear on Monday what the newly-elected mayors and councillors had to say about their priorities and approaches to their duties over the next four years. Both councils have decidedly new looks. In Langley City, Ted Schaffer is now the elected mayor and there are two new councillors, along with a familiar face from the past. Rudy Storteboom returned to council after losing his seat by a narrow margin in 2011. In Langley Township, there are three new councillors. It is clear that the issues from the election are still front and centre. Schaffer is promising work on a number of priorities, including public safety. He also plans to set up a task force on homelessness, which is again becoming a larger problem in Langley City, despite the many services offered by the Gateway of Hope. Several councillors also addressed issues in their inaugural remarks, including downtown revitalization and transportation. Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese made it clear that he heard the concerns from residents about the process of giving input on development and community plans. He is promising a task force on public engagement, which will take a closer look at how and when residents have input into community plans and developments that impact their neighbourhoods. This issue gained a lot of prominence in Brookswood earlier this year, when residents felt that changes to community and neighbourhood plans that had been proposed would completely change the character of the area. Many felt they did not find out about the plans until very late in the process. Those concerns were a factor in the formation of several groups which tried to oust some members of council, and indeed they were successful in defeating three incumbents. It was the first time since 2002 that incumbent councillors had been defeated in Langley Township. Several councillors also referred to concerns about how services in Willoughby have not kept up with the pace of development, and about issues relating to the preservation of agricultural land. Members of Langley Township council were already at odds in their afternoon meeting — even before the formal inaugural meeting. There will be a lot of lively debate in the next four years.

Public the fall guy they
There’s nothing democratic about making the public the fall guy for not funding significant improvements to regional transit. But that appears to be what the B.C. government is trying to do with its insistence the mayors’ council on regional transportation meet a Dec. 11 deadline to come up with a referendum question. It’s a riddle worthy of the Brothers Grimm. For the referendum to succeed, the mayors have to come up with a pretty magical question indeed. It must not only garner public support for the council’s 10-year transit expansion strategy (including two lightrail lines for Surrey, more bridges and many more buses), but also propose a funding approach (read: tax or levy) that will somehow be instantly palatable to the electorate. There’s such a thing as canvassing the public. There’s also such a thing as being set up to fail, and the mayors argue this is just what is happening to them. If the referendum fails, they fear, transit planning in the region could be set back by a decade, at least. And the B.C. government, presumably, will stand pat on the excuse that the people were asked, and this was the will of the people. The provincial government has its own ideas, of course, about what it is prepared to do. As Metro Vancouver directors have pointed out, the provincial plan heavily favours highway construction — no doubt with appropriate feelgood photo-ops — over dealing with thorny transit issues. The way forward out of the current transit quagmire is not an easy one. — Peace Arch News

Thanks for helping Editor: My spouse was attacked at the Langley bus loop on Friday by two young guys. His harness and the gear for his job were stolen. He was beaten to a pulp. He has a broken nose, concussion, stitches over the eyebrow, broken teeth, a minor fracture to the jaw and eyes so swollen he can’t see. He will most likely be unable to work for quite a while. A lady at the bus stop called 911. I would like to thank her. She saved my spouse’s life. The police were able to recover his gear, which for an iron worker adds up quickly, and apprehend two suspects. We are waiting to hear if they got the right guys. Again, I would like to thank the lady who called police, scared the thugs off and most likely saved his life, as he already had injuries to the brain. I wish all the best to those who helped my hubby and wish all the best to those who have encountered the same experience while at the Langley bus loop. LAUREN BLAIR, LANGLEY
Wonderful care Editor: A parent’s worst nightmare is having to take their child, no matter what age, to the emergency room. I just lived that nightmare last week. After having a cold and a fever for more than three days, I took my little lethargic one-year-old to the ER at Langley Memorial Hospital. We got there by 4:30 p.m., and it looked like half of Langley was in there with me. My son’s name was called for the nurse in the ER to take more information and to asses him. After checking his temperature of 39.0 and seeing his red eyes, we were inside the ER in 15 minutes. My son was treated for fever and was sent for X-rays. The doctor then explained that my little baby had pneumonia and we would be spending the night. I broke down in tears. This doctor touched my shoulder and reassured me that he was not concerned and kids get sick fast and get better fast. “Don’t worry,” I was told. After blood work and more assessments, it was found that the RSV virus is what made my little boy so sick. For five days, we stayed in the hospital with IV and oxygen. On day three, he then had an ear and sinus infection. It was what felt like a long road, but the RNs and Dr. Poynter who took care of Nico made our stay less worrisome. They all told us he will get better. We are now home, and he has a cough, but he is on the road to recovery. I wanted to thank the beautiful RNs on the Pediatric Unit: Kate(who stayed overtime in putting the IV on for Nico, and said “he’s worth it), Julie, Katie, Marilyn and Dr. Poynter for taking such great care with a personal touch. I was surprised at how quickly our little Nico got inside the ER and up to the Pediatric Unit. Langley Memorial Hospital should be recognized. I am “One Happy Mamma.” ANGELA (LAST NAME WITHHELD), LANGLEY

First Nations protesters marched last week towards a site on Burnaby Mountain marked off by police tape, as part of the protests against Kinder Morgan’s oil pipeline.
Anti-pipeline protesters may be destroying their futures MANY ELEMENTS OF ‘BIG BROTHER’ COLLECTING DATA Editor: Are anti-oil, anti-progress anti-Canadian economy protesters destroying their future employment opportunities? Are young idealistic protesters and natives being turned into puppets, and used by the sophisticated big money environmental lobby? Eco-organizations employ provocative agents who organize the protests, and those individuals may also be limiting their future chances of being employed in industry or commerce. Most employers today will do a Google and social media search of job applicants to help assess their social behaviour and character. We are really naïve to the amount of personal identity information being collected and stored in huge metadata bases. Canadians are the biggest users of social media in the world and some security experts think we are careless to post so much personal info on Facebook and Twitter. With all the sophisticated surveillance technology and the desire for governments to watch us, since 9-11, it’s almost certain that provocative protesters are being documented. Some radical protests against our infrastructure may be perceived as economic sedition, and insurgent anarchy
that could threaten national sovereignty. Those who attended the Burnaby Mountain protest with cars likely had their licence plates scanned. “The protection and security of critical infrastructure falls within the mandate of the BC Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (E-INSET). Any and all tips reported to us are followed up on to the fullest extent,” a press release states. Canada is part of U.S.A.’s ‘Homeland Security’ on their National Security Agency (NSA) map, and they collect nearly everything a user does on the internet. Communications Security Establishment of Canada (CSEC). Canada’s electronic spy agency, admits it incidentally spies on Canadians while targeting foreign entities. It’s become well known that the foreign funded anti-oil eco-lobby is targeting Canadian oil because they don’t protest against American, OPEC, or Russian oil, only Canadian oil and pipelines. One of the privileges of being old is our precious freedom to express one’s opinion, as it’s not as if we have to worry about being branded or getting fired. ROLAND SEGUIN, LANGLEY

Nisga’a prove their critics wrong It has been 15 years since I wrote a commentary objecting to the B.C. government pushing aside its own hard-won treaty process to reach an unprecedented land-and-cash settlement with the Nisga’a Nation for their ancient Nass River territory. My objection, and that of many others, was the imposition of a parallel state with collectively owned land enshrined for all time. This was an ailing NDP government rushing to enable a property ownership system that has demonstrated little but failure and suffering around the world. The Nisga’a are proving me wrong, and this was again demonstrated at a little-noticed ceremony at the B.C. legislature last week. The B.C. government had just passed amendments to allow a gas pipeline through Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park, the first co-managed provincial park in B.C. history. Another bill enabled the Nisga’a Lisims government to impose industrial property tax on liquefied natural gas production. Legal documents were signed so the Nisga’a legislature can do the same this week. In recent years, the Nisga’a disposed of concern about collective land restrictions by adopting a private property system. And Supreme Court of Canada decisions have repeatedly answered protests about the establishment of a parallel state – that’s what it is, so get

International speaker, author and farmer Joel Salatin spoke to a standing room only crowd on the future of food and farming on Saturday, Nov. 8 at the Langley Events Centre. It was hosted by the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation.
Future of food and farming VIRGINIA-BASED ‘AGRICULTURAL FREEDOM OF CHOICE ADVOCATE’ SHARED HIS EXPERTISE WITH FULL HOUSE AT LANGLEY EVENTS CENTRE JAMES INGLIS Aldergrove Star
Almost 500 people spent four hours in a conference room at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday, Nov. 8 to listen to international speaker, author, farmer, and agricultural freedom of choice advocate Joel Salatin share advice and his unique outlook on the the future of food and farming. The event was hosted by the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation. Salatin, based in the Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia, is the owner of Polyface Farms, “a family-owned, multi-generational, pasture based, beyond organic, local farm.” Salatin sees many of the problems facing today’s farmer as a result of government interference and the growing influence of urban culture. Salatin said modern culture believes, farming has become “obnoxious, noisy, smelly, a blight on the land,” and this has resulted in farming and its re-
lated services being separated from the people. He believes this “segregation” of farming away from its related support systems and associated agricultural industries has resulted in increased costs, reduced profits and decreased efficiencies. Salatin also told the crowd that the future for successful farming relies on “an integration between production and markets.” He also argued that the place of the farmer must no longer be minimized in society. “Rather than a farmer being just a colonial peasant serf who produces raw commodities to be value added, promoted, marketed, exported, distributed and graphic artist-advertised by other people in the urban centre who essentially take all the money, I am a big believer in the agrarian intellectual and the honoured farmers,” he said. “Farmers get what they think they deserve, and if you think farmers are the low socio-eco-

nomic plain of a culture, then you will be. “I tell farmers, ‘Go get a suit. You need to be the best and brightest, not the dumbest and socio-economic disadvantaged.’” For farming to prosper, Salatin said, there needs to be a reduction in government legislation in how farmer can do business. He advocates less zoning restrictions on how farmland can be used. He called for an end to marketing boards and quotas and the elimination of what he describes as the “food police”. Salatin spoke to the great importance of farmers looking to their own farming practices to find ways to modernize their farms in environmentally safe, but efficient ways, and to find and eliminate inefficiencies that may be reducing the profitability of their business. In addition to the keynote speaker, local farm operators Juila Smith from Urban Digs and Chris Bodnar of Close to Home Organics gave presentations.

Beware of stereotyping I received an interesting letter from a reader. She writes about going to a recent Diwali function in Mission and describes that 99 per cent of the Punjabis were rude. She describes that people were blocking her view and had no concern for others. ON THE She also says that no one should be allowed to come to this country unless they speak one of our Ken Herar official languages. She also talks about how Punjabi children just entering school cannot speak English properly or do not behave, and the parents pay no attention to what the teachers say. At the end of her letter she says she has many Punjabi friends and they all agree that most of the Punjabis have no manners and don’t know how to behave properly. Well, enough said. I am Punjabi and I’m very proud to be one. I am not saying we Punjabis don’t have any issues to overcome, like any other community groups, but to say 99 per cent of of us are rude is far from the truth and statistically incorrect. I do agree, we have many people who cannot speak the English language, but that doesn’t define us as Canadians. Punjabis are noted to be among the most generous people on the planet, who donate annually to many charities. I posted this letter on my Facebook to gather a community response and many agreed that the Punjabi community is always willing to help to make our community a better place. You cannot judge a few, for many. This is the one of the difficulties of living in a multicultural community. People often get trapped with this narrow-mindedness and can’t see that everyone is not the same and shouldn’t be painted with the same brush. Some thought I shouldn’t respond to her, but I believed that it was important to bring this discussion forward and create a level of understanding in a respectful manner. That’s how we’re going to see change, not by hiding it in a corner of darkness. Cycling4Diversity executive co-ordinator Anne-Marie Sjoden said: “I had the opportunity to visit a couple of the Punjabi schools during our ride, and each and every student spoke very good English. The teachers had amazing comments about their students.

“A very good friend is a principal at a Punjabi school. He has never said there are problems with kids not knowing English. In fact he has said quite the opposite, and told me that the parents are very involved. I would have to disagree with the comment about 99 per cent of the Punjabi community being rude. I have always felt very welcomed at the temple.” Kevin Francis said: “In 2003, the human genome project came to what should have been a staggering conclusion: we are all related. “I know from experience that adapting to a new cultural milieu is difficult without having to live up to arbitrary standards, indeed that’s why we, as a country, support multiculturalism; but integration cannot be achieved upon a designated schedule. Each one of us learns at our own pace. “Let’s not fall into the trap of intolerance because of cultural ignorance. It spawns an all too slippery slope that makes us forget what Dr. Francis Collins said at the end of the human genome project: indeed there is but one race, the

House of Miss Rose to close its doors MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
D A N F E RGUSON La ng ley Times
Miss Rose has carried this desktop motto with her for 57 years in the “hair business.� She plans to retire and write a book.
The House of Miss Rose is closing her doors. After 57 years as a hairdresser, business owner, educator and wig maker, Miss Rose is going to retire. At 75 years of age, the easier life is calling and she more than deserves it. She said she is sad to go, but her legs can’t take any more standing on hard concrete floors. “I’m going to write a book about my 57 years in the hair business,� she told The Times. On Tuesday, Nov. 25, she was bustling through her shop, dispensing hugs and words of encouragement. “Everyone can be what they want to be,� she told a visitor. Some of her staff looked a little tearyeyed, and so did Miss Rose.
The House of Miss Rose Hair Salon and Wig Shop has been on 56 Avenue in Langley City for 10 years. There have been many changes over the years, but the business has grown and the name “Miss Rose� has become well known in the community and beyond. Miss Rose has gained a reputation for her warmth, generosity and experience as well as for really caring for the cancer patients who have come in for a wig. ‘Nobody knows wigs like Miss Rose,’ is a common sentiment. Over the last 10 years she has helped hundreds of people with their hair loss concerns and many still come back to the shop just to say hi and thank you. Miss Rose has always been a keen community supporter, but as she says, “That
goes both ways.� Miss Rose’s shop has been broken into several times over the past five years. The last breakin was especially traumatic, but many members of the community made donations of money and product to help get the business up and running again. There was one local organization who put film on the windows to make them virtually
unbreakable. Also, students from a technical school in Maple Ridge who were studying metal fabrication, designed and made metal bars for the windows. To these people she sends special hugs. Closing her doors is going to be a sad time for Miss Rose, but as she says, “I’ve had 57 years in an industry I love and wanted to be a part of ever since I can remember, but I

public notice Be Prepared: Winter Safety Tips Working together, we can all make a difference to improve safety during winter snowfalls and storms. • Remove vehicles parked on the road in front of your property so municipal vehicles can complete work. • Avoid or delay driving whenever possible until snowfall slows or stops entirely. • Plan for increased travel time to your destination and ensure your vehicle is properly equipped. • Clear snow from the sidewalk adjacent to your property as soon as possible. • Place snow shoveled from your sidewalk and driveway onto your lawn to the right of the driveway, on the side the snow plow passes last, to avoid it being pushed back into the driveway. • Walk on the left side of the road facing traffic so that you can see, hear, and avoid oncoming traffic. • Caution children against playing in or near roadside snowbanks. • Caution children against playing sports on roads when roads are being sanded and plowed. For more information on our winter program, visit tol.ca/stormresponse. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter (@LangleyTownship) for regular updates from the Township.

Robertson also works at the Langley RCMP where 100 pairs have come in so far. Her daughter’s Grade 7 class at Langley Fine Arts has already donated 30. But her big push will come when she stands outside Walmart in Langley on Dec. 6 and 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., collecting donated pyjamas. She is asking for boys and girls pjs, sizes 2 to 15, but teen pyjamas are also needed. She encourages others to do this as an office challenge. She can collect them if that takes place.

GOAL IS TO GIVE PAIR TO EVERY CHILD REGISTERED AT CHRISTMAS BUREAU For another year, Mary Lou Robertson, the self-named ‘Pyjama Fairy,’ has a goal to outfit every child registered at the Langley Christmas Bureau with a pair of cozy PJs. “For many children, receiving a new pair of Christmas pyjamas has become a holiday tradition,” said Robertson. “For others, meeting their family needs at Christmas has become a struggle. “The goal of this fundraiser is to donate pyjamas to children of low income families. New jammies on Christmas are guaranteed to bring a smile to their faces and warmth to their hearts.” But with an estimated 1,200 children registered — it’s a lofty goal. “We can do this, I know it,” said

Roomy parkhomes in Clayton, Surrey’s most sought-after neighbourhood It is no secret that the Fraser Valley is one of the most beautiful places in B.C. – with it’s sprawling green landscapes and wide-expanse of mountain ranges. Not only is The Grove built by award-winning Townline Homes in the desirable Clayton Heights neighborhood, but its optimal use of green space keeps the grass beneath
your feet and the mountains out your window. The Grove uses a unique ‘tworinged’ site design, meaning that almost every home faces green space; those on the outer ring will back onto a park or greenway, and homes on the inner ring will face a beautifully forested grove. The Grove’s natural setting is located amongst city greenbelts,
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
offering a wide variety of outdoor experiences right at your doorstep. “From walking your dog throughout the many trails, to playing with your little ones at the large outdoor playground, to bird watching at the two surrounding ponds, The Grove will awaken anyone’s love for the outdoors,” says Sales Manager, Elise Sangster. “The Grove’s proximity to
wonderful parks, ponds, trail systems and onsite amenities, such as an outdoor swimming pool, floor hockey and fully stocked gyms, really offers an all-around appeal to any type of buyer.” Some homes are even situated on a gentle slope so residents will enjoy views of the Fraser Valley and Mount Baker. It’s that prime location combined with intelligent design that makes the 141 roomy parkhomes in Surrey’s most sought-after neighborhood a point of envy now and into the future. “The Grove is inhabited by young couples and young families which internally creates a vibrant vibe
within a community you immediately want to call home,” says Sangster. “The Grove has a selected amount of homes currently completed but with a wide variety of homes that will be move in ready come this January 2015.” When you say yes to The Grove, you are saying yes to the best of the Fraser Valley right at your doorstep. The Grove’s Sales Centre and Display Homes are located at #1-19433 68 Ave, Surrey and are open every day except Friday’s from 12-5pm. The site will be closed as of December 22nd 2014 for the holidays, and will be re-open Saturday, January 3rd 2015.
Livia Homes by Ascentia Properties and the use of Fortis Before delving into what makes Ascentia Properties’ newest development “Livia,” extra special, it’s important to fi rst take a look at the fundamentals. Occupying an exclusive niche on the eastern edge of Richmond’s thriving centre, this collection of luxury family townhomes hold a charm of their own.. As a matter of fact, “delightful” would be the perfect word used to describe them. Their high-end finishing give residents a feel for the high life, while still providing everything that a family looks for in a home - a close-knit community and a comfortable place to call their own. With Livia homes, a little extra space goes a long way, which is why every home has a balcony, courtyard or roof deck, and natural gas hook-up on the ground floor patio. Also, the garages of these units have radiant floor heating with separate thermostat controllers. Once inside, enjoy state-of-the-art full size stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, designer laminate flooring and natural gas radiant floor heating. For peace of mind, all homes come with a fire sprinkler system and National Home Warranty. Now you may have noticed the mention of natural gas, and
that brings us back to what makes these homes extra special. The Ascentia team has developed more than 200 single-family homes and has close to a century of experience to draw from, in both residential and commercial development. With keeping quality and luxury in mind, Ascentia Properties provides innovative concepts to their homes, which is why they have chosen natural gas for their developments. Sales Representative of Multiple Realty Ltd., Michael Bir says this is because it provides a clean, reliable, and affordable fuel source to help integrate the demands of consumers. Livia homes boast many uses of natural gas, such as cooking (gas range), a BBQ hook-up (think – you never have to refill a tank), and radiant in-floor heating that keeps your floor warm and your spaces heated longer. This comfort comes from knowing the homes are equipped with a superior Viessmann high-efficiency boiler system that also provides hot water on demand. But according to Bir, the benefits don’t end there. “Busy young families will appreciate the convenience of natural gas cooking as it is offers faster cooking times, and it gives homes an even warmth and comfort that electric heat can’t match,” he says. “Precise temperature control and zoned
heating options make natural gas an energy efficient choice that’s preferred by homeowners.” Want to sauté, simmer and sizzle like a pro? “In the kitchen, a natural gas range gives infinite temperature settings and instant flame control, while other natural gas appliances enhance your comfortable lifestyle,” he says. “Plus, natural gas versus electric adds to a homes resale value.” How about saving money on your energy bills? From heating and power, to indoor and outdoor appliances, natural gas will lessen a home’s environmental footprint without compromising style or ambiance. While heating a home or using appliances to heat water can consume an average of 78 per cent of the total energy used in the house, natural gas space heating equipment are up to 98 per cent efficient. However, the benefits of switching to gas go beyond the cost. During a power outage, your home will stay heated long and you will still be able to cook dinner. Reliable natural gas is always there when you need it, safe, and easy to use, all while saving time and money.

OpenRoad, Coast Capital both earn honours
OpenRoad Auto Group has been recognized as one of the best Canadian companies to work for as part of the 50 Best Employers in Canada survey. The annual survey ranked OpenRoad eighth out of 50 top Canadian employers, making this the third time in five years that the B.C.-based automotive retail group has received the prestigious designation. Conducted by Aon Hewitt, a global firm specializing in human resource solutions, the 2015 list of the country’s 50 best employers was compiled based on responses from nearly 350,000 employees in 259 participating private and public-sector organizations. The annual survey measures employee engagement based on their levels of commitment and how
motivated they are by their company’s leaders, managers, culture and values. Employees at OpenRoad Auto Group reported high levels of engagement in all categories, citing examples of specialized programs that support professional development, along with exemplary systems for employee recognition, internal communications and special employee events. “At OpenRoad, we not only put our customers first but also our employees,” said Christian Chia, president and CEO of OpenRoad Auto Group. “For us, it’s a practice that creates positive, supportive work environments which foster happy, motivated employees who, in turn, are building loyal customer relationships at each one of our
dealerships.” OpenRoad Auto Group’s recently opened its newest Porsche retail centre, OpenRoad Porsche Langley. Altogether, OpenRoad employs about 115 people in Langley, with 30 more hires planned in 2015. ••• Coast Capital Savings Credit Union’s corporate culture has once again been named one of the 10 most admired in Canada. Waterstone Human Capital conducted the annual evaluation of workplace cultures in organizations across the country. The credit union, which was also a winner in 2011, has been recognized in the firm’s mid-market category. “Coast Capital’s employee promise is to change the way our 1,600
employees feel about work, forever, and this recognition shows we’re delivering on this commitment,” said Don Coulter, the new president and CEO for the B.C.-based credit union. He was appointed to the role last month (Nov. 25) after serving in an interim capacity. “We know that a strong corporate culture translates into a better service experience for our members, because happy employees provide an exceptional member experience.” “The culture at Coast Capital is truly about changing the way Canadians feel about banking forever. There is incredible pride in the company, which sets them apart from traditional financial services organizations,” said Marty Parker,
CEO of Waterstone and chair of the Canada’s 10 program. “We strive to be one of the leading choices for Canadian job seekers, whether they are senior-level executives or just starting off in their careers,” said Coulter. “We know one of the factors candidates look for in deciding between opportunities is corporate culture and that certainly was the case when I came to Coast Capital nearly six years ago. We offer a culture that allows our employees to contribute to our success, to grow with us, and have a voice in the direction and future of our organization. “This award provides affirmation that, as a team, we have something pretty special here at Coast Capital and we are very proud of that.”

Spartans go into break on winning note The Trinity Western Spartans volleyball teams closed the first semester of the Canada West season with a pair of victories apiece, and top five rankings in the country.
The men’s team beat the Calgary Dinos 3-2 and 3-0 over the weekend and are ranked fourth in Canada with a record of 10-4. The women also took both of their matches against Calgary,
3-0 and 3-2. They are also 10-4 on the season and ranked fifth. The women’s team has now won seven consecutive matches following a four-game losing streak.

Trinity Western Spartans’ Rachel Flink returns the ball during her team’s victory over the Calgary Dinos on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. The Spartans closed the first half of the Canada West season with a pair of victories and a 10-4 record.
The games were played at the Langley Events Centre on Nov. 28 and 29. And in the second of those games for the Spartan women, it looked like their winning streak was in jeopardy as Calgary won the first two sets, 2517 and 25-23. “We talked about what kind of tone we wanted to leave the semester with,” said Spartans coach Ryan Hofer on his team’s focus after losing the second set. “We wanted to leave it on a high. We wanted to leave it all out there and come back to the locker room having done everything you could to help this team be successful.” But the Spartans rallied with 25-19 and 25-15 wins before edging the Dinos 15-13 in the decisive set. Micaylee Pucilowski was a big factor in the fifth set as she collected four kills and one block. “We were looking to bring people’s strengths,” Hofer said “We were looking for an edge and Micaylee is a player who has been performing really well for us and Calgary hadn’t seen her. We thought we’d take a chance and she went off.” Sophie Carpentier led the Spartans with 21 kills and a pair of aces while Kristen Moncks had 17 digs. Nikki Cornwall had 53 assists while guiding the Spartan offence to a .263 hitting percent-
age. In Friday’s straight-sets victory — 25-21, 25-20 and 25-16 — Carpentier had 10 kills and three aces while Alicia Perrin had six kills and four blocks. Katelyn Devaney had five kills and five blocks. The Spartans men’s team has won three in a row after taking both matches versus Calgary. The team won 3-2 (25-10,2225,22-25,25-19,15-10) on Friday and 3-0 (25-11,25-18,25-21) on Saturday. Nick Del Bianco played a big role in both victories. After delivering seven aces the first night, he had four more on Saturday, plus 15 kills, seven digs and four blocks. “Nick wanted to make he was sharp from start to finish,” said Spartans coach Ben Josephson. “I thought he had a great resolve and his decision making was awesome. He managed the tough spots really well. He was dialed in. I thought he passed really well and he had a couple of amazing solo blocks. That was probably the most complete match he’s played in all phases.” Ryan Sclater led the team on Friday with 18 kills while Del Bianco had 13 kills and four blocks. Daniel Grant had nine blocks and seven kills and Schriemer had 48 assists. He had another 34 assists the second night. As a team, the Spartans hit .304 in the five-set victory, compared to just .090 for the Dinos.

Q: Help! I’ve just knocked out my front tooth while playing sports. What do I do? A: First of all, don’t panic. Stay calm and follow these steps: 1. Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown (the white part) – avoid touching the root. If the tooth is dirty, briefly rinse it under cold running water, for a maximum of 10 seconds. 2. Replant the tooth back into the empty socket (parents, please encourage and help your child to do so). Bite onto a handkerchief to hold the tooth in position. 3. If this is not possible (e.g. patient is unconscious, child is very young), place the tooth into a glass of milk as soon as possible. If you have saline or Hanks Balanced Salt Solution, then it is preferable to store the tooth in these solutions instead. Avoid storage in water! The tooth can also be kept inside the lip or Dr. Cheung, DMD cheek (in saliva) – this is only safe to do so if the patient is conscious and not Dentist too young, otherwise the tooth may be accidentally swallowed. 4. Call your dentist for emergency treatment right away. With hockey season and other contact sports in full swing, it’s important to play safe and protect your teeth with a properly fitted sports guard. Dental injuries can be traumatizing, and costly to fix. Our office offers custom mouth guards, which have superior fit, comfort, and protection, because they are specially molded from an impression of your own teeth.

Depleted Hawks manage three out of four points RIC K KU P C H U K Bl ack Pre s s
The North Island Silvertips proved to be a more difficult opponent than expected, but the Valley West Hawks still earned three of a possible four points in BC Hockey Major Midget League play last weekend at the Langley Events Centre. The Hawks tied the 10th-place Silvertips 2-2 Saturday evening, then won 5-3 Sunday morning to improve to 11-6-3 (won-losttied). North Island fell to 2-14-4. “We were a depleted squad with four regulars out of the lineup,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung, noting defencemen Ian Ross and Spencer Berry, both from Semiahmoo Minor Hockey, were out with injury while two other players were serving suspensions. “(North Island) came in as a desperate squad. We didn’t give very much up on Saturday but managed to cough up two golden opportunities on which North Island capitalized.” The Silvertips led 2-1 after 40 minutes.

Spartans rally, earn point
MARK JANZ EN TWU Ath letics
Trinity Western Spartans’ Branden Schmidt sends the ball past the outstretched block of the Calgary Dinos during his team’s victory on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.
The Trinity Western men’s hockey team rallied from a two-goal third period deficit to force overtime against Simon Fraser, but in the end the Spartans came up just short, losing in a shootout Saturday at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. Trailing 4-2 with just over 12 minutes to play, the Spartans tallied a pair of goals to tie it up, including the equalizer from PJ Buys with just over five minutes to play, and send the game to the extra session. After a scoreless overtime, SFU’s Jono Ceci was the lone goal-scorer in the shootout as he helped lift the Clan to its seventh win of the season. The Spartans are now 8-2-0-2 and sit atop the BCIHL standings with a four-point cushion over SFU, who is now 7-6-00. The loss stopped the Spartans three-game
winning streak. “Our guys found a way to battle back and take it to overtime,” said Spartans coach Barret Kropf. “I just didn’t think we had the right effort in the shootout to earn the extra point. “But overall I think we showed some good character trying to get back into the game and give us a chance to win.” Along with Buys’ lategame goal, Cody Fidgett scored twice for the Spartans while Dawson Sawatzky had TWU’s other goal. While the aforementioned trio provided the offence, it was an impressive night from forward Cody Stephenson who helped solidify the Spartans in their own zone. “Cody had a good game and was particularly good defensively,” Kropf said. “He had a great cou-
ple of back check plays that took away oddman rushes. He did a lot of things to give us an opportunity to get a crack at a comeback win.” Spartans goalie Silas Matthys made 39 saves while the Clan’s Andrew Parent stopped 23 of the 27 shots he faced. The Spartans play their final game before the holiday break when they host Eastern Washington tomorrow (Friday) at the Langley Events Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. ••• While the Trinity Western Spartans volleyball teams were beating their Calgary counterparts in Langley, the Dinos were doing the same to the Spartan basketball teams in Calgary.

a scare against the Spartans men’s basketball team 95-85 in double overtime. Calgary won the rematch as well, 86-65 to drop TWU to 1-9 heading into the schedule’s holiday break. The Spartans women’s team heads into the break with a 4-6 record. TWU lost 95-72 and 73-55 against the Dinos.
Event raises $150k for Spartan athletics It was a record-raising event as $150,000 was raised at Trinity Western’s annual Complete Champions Lunch. The sixth annual event was held last month (Nov. 12) at the Langley Events Centre with special guest speaker Anthony Calvillo. The retired Canadian Football League quarterback and three-time Grey Cup champion shared his story — from football field to his faith — to the crowd of nearly 350 in attendance. “The biggest thing is that (the Spartan Foundation) is raising funds to help athletes go out there and perform on the field,” Calvillo said. “That’s something that is very important to me and this opportunity also gave me the chance to speak about my faith, which I don’t get too many opportunities to do so out in the public.” “We are so encouraged that this corporate fundraising lunch continues to grow and gain momentum each year to help the teams and athletes,” said Steve Scholz, the executive director of the Spartan Foundation. “We feel extremely blessed by the support from our corporate sponsors, table sponsors and donors who contributed to our matching fund, as well as those who donated on the day of the event. “It is exciting to invest and help student-athletes grow and develop today, as one day, they will be our future leaders.” The money raised — which topped last year’s total by nearly $30,000 — will be used for Spartan athletics.

Question of the Week
New Year’s Resolution: Hot rides and buys for 2015 Here are what I consider to be five important cars for 2015.
This sixth generation Explorer marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic SUV, with over 350,000 sold in Canada so far.
Mazda MX-5 2015 Jeep Renegade Over the last few years Mazda has been introducing There is no question that the merger of Fiat and vehicles with its new Skyactiv technology but there is Chrysler has helped to introduce many new vehicles. one car that will signify the culmination of all the things The small car segment is a perfect example; the Fiat Mazda does well, the next generation MX-5 (Miata). 500 and its variations has been a plus The MX-5 will come in 2015 as a 2016 for Chrysler’s bottom line. Built in Europe model and all eyes are on Mazda to see on the Fiat 500L platform, this smaller what it can deliver. The bodywork is more Jeep Renegade replaces the Compass dramatic and having seen it in person, and Patriot models. Powered by either the dimensions look fanatic but the new a 160hp, 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder front grille might take a while to adapt too. or a larger 184hp, 2.4L 4-cylinder, Jeep The two-seat cockpit is roomier, thanks to claims that this compact crossover is a wider body and longer wheelbase but still a capable vehicle because of two the overall length is 105mm shorter and by Zack Spencer available all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems. 20mm lower. The standard models will be available with front-wheelThe 2.0L Skyactiv direct injection 4-cylinder will power drive (FWD), with either a 6-speed manual or 9-speed this lightweight car and power will go to the rear automatic transmission. wheels though a 6-speed manual transmission. Engine Styling is all-American; the signature Jeep grille is maroutput has not been announced, neither has the price, ried perfectly into the boxy design, as too are other Jeep but expect the car to be competitive with the 2015 styling cues. The interior is has a rugged, yet upscale model on price. design that features all of Jeep’s latest technology, Ford Explorer including the award winning Uconnect infotainment The sixth generation Ford Explorer will arrive in 2015 system. Pricing has not been announced but expect it as a 2016 model, now with new 2.3L EcoBoost engine shortly as it is due at dealerships very soon. available on the base and XLT trim. This replaces the older 2.0L Ecoboost and provides a 270hp, a 13 per cent bump over the last version. The 290hp 3.5L V6 is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. Ford claims that styling is the number one purchase consideration so the shape was retained but new grille and LED headlamps help refresh the look.

Honda HR-V Coming in 2015 is another SUV, smaller than the CR-V, helping to define the new subcompact SUV market. This little runabout is built off the excellent Honda Fit platform and will include many of the features that make that car a standout. The first is the interior of the HR-V. It will also feature Honda’s Magic Seats that flip

and fold for amazing versatility. The same 1.8L 4-clinder engine with 138hp will power this vehicle, either with FWD or AWD, through a continuously variable transmission or 6-cpeed manual. Pricing will be introduced closer to the introduction this coming spring. Built in Mexico, the HR-V will give Honda the same leg up that the original CR-V did for the small SUV segment. Chevrolet Volt It might surprise many people that the best selling electric car in Canada is the Chevrolet Volt, not the sexy Tesla Model S. There are many reasons for this, mainly the fact that the Volt provides all-electric transportation for 65 kms but with the aid of a small 4-cylinder generator to extend the range over 300 kms. This car has all of the upside of an electric car with none of the range limiting restrictions. In 2015, Chevrolet will introduce the second generation of Chevrolet Volt, one that hopes to improve on the usability of the car in terms of comfort and electric driving range. General Motors will showcase the next generation car in January at the Detroit Auto Show and the company’s CEO has stated that the new car “will store more energy in its battery pack with fewer cells, yet go further on a charge.” General Motors claims that 80 per cent of current Volt owners commute entirely on electric power, so any improvement to range will help increase this number. The Volt isn’t a huge volume seller for General Motors but this new model will help the company to showcase what it can do technologically. General Motors has the capability to produce some the most advanced cars on the road.
Alexandra Straub writes this week about the unusual new colours featured on cars at the LA Auto Show. Do you favour one colour when you buy a car. If so, what and why?

Five new vehicles under $25K cont. continued from page 40
Honda Fit ($14,495) Unveiled at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, the all-new, five-passenger, five-door vehicle comes with style and flair. And just because it doesn’t have a huge price tag, it doesn’t mean you don’t get some pretty great standard features. Those include things like: Bluetooth connectivity, a multi-angle rearview camera, and Expanded View Driver’s Mirror. For customers looking for premium features in the subcompact segment, the Fit will be available with smart entry with push-button start, heated side mirrors, heated front seats, Honda’s exclusive LaneWatch display and a 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen interface with HondaLink smartphone connectivity. The 2015 Fit marks the debut of an all-new direct-injected 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine. It produces 130 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 114 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,600 rpm. Engine output is increased by 13 horsepower and 8 lb-ft of torque compared to the outgoing engine For those who love the versatility of Honda’s exclusive Magic Seats, they continue through this generation. It provides an amazing 1492.3 L of cargo space when the second row seats are folded flat. Nissan Micra ($9,998) It’s small and comes with a small price tag, but expect big things from the all-new Nissan Micra. At one of Canada’s lowest MSRPs – it competes directly with the Mitsubishi Mirage for that title – it’s amazing what you can get for so little. The base model comes with manual windows and a manual transmission. It handles quite well and the cabin isn’t particularly loud when driving at highway speeds. The Micra is designed to not only meet or exceed Canadian safety regulations, but exceed them. Micra’s standard safety systems include the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) (includes front supplemental air bags, front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Traction Control System (TCS). Under its hood is a 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine that produces 109 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque. Okay, it’s not a lot but certainly enough to get you around. Available in three models, the Micra S, SV and top-of-the-line SR, these micro cars will be able to be matched with a 5-speed manual transmission, or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Whether you’re looking for a hatchback, sedan, or a micro car, the 2015 model year has all-new vehicles in that segment and more. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Five stylish sets of wheels for 2015 By Rob Rothwell You can pay a fortune for a premium brand but you needn’t break the bank to buy wheels with style. Chrysler 200 (starting MSRP $19,945) Chrysler stunned the marketplace with the introduction of its completely new 200 Sedan, resetting benchmarks for style, panache, and performance within a fiercely competitive segment. And with a starting MSRP of just $19,945, the 200 undercuts many of its competitors, yet its real strength is found in its range of trim levels and power options. The base engine is a 2.4L four-cylinder affair that feeds 184 horsepower to the front wheels through a segment-exclusive nine-speed automatic transmission. Going upscale in the 200 brings with it Chrysler’s powerful 295 horsepower Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine paired with the nine-speed autobox and all-wheel-drive traction. Standard features include eight airbags, Keyless Enter ‘n Go, and Chrysler’s Uconnect 3.0 multimedia centre. Options include Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, and Active Park Assist. With four distinct trim levels, the Chrysler 200 can match the wherewithal of many pocketbooks while employing the latest in safety and technology to deliver an affordable upscale driving experience. Fuel Economy: 2.4L I-4 10.2L/6.4L100km city/highway 3.6L V6 12.4L/7.5L100km city/highway Acura TLX (base MSRP $34,900) The four-door Acura TLX Sedan replaces the former TSX and TL sport sedans, merging their respective strengths into a single product positioned as the brand’s mid-level contender. With a base sticker of $34,900, the TLX delivers plenty of sport-inspired luxury built around a 206
horsepower 2.4L four-cylinder power plant fused to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Propulsion is directed frontward unless the V6 Technology Package and Acura’s Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system with torque vectoring are opted for. In which case, all four wheels share in 290 horsepower produced by the 3.5L SOHC i-VTEC mill. A sophisticated nine-speed automatic transmission further contributes to the engaging performance of the V6-powered TLX. In addition to a more rigid body structure, the TLX provides increased safety and collision avoidance with the use of technology such as Jewel Eye LED headlights, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, and Blind Spot Information with Cross Traffic Warning. Comfort and convenience essentials include the availability of premium 10-speaker audio along with voice-activated navigation. Fuel Economy: 2.4L I-4 9.6L/6.6L/100km city/highway 3.5L V6 11.2L/6.9L/100km city/highway Audi A3 (base MSRP $31,100) Looking remarkably like the highly successful Audi A4 Sedan despite casting a shadow 245mm shorter, the new A3 Sedan is sure to capture the attention of entry-level Audi buyers that scorn the A3’s hatchback design despite the vehicle’s praiseworthy driving dynamics and general practicality. Pricing for the new A3 Sedan starts at $31,100 with the 170 horsepower 1.8L TFSI I-4 power plant turning the front wheels through the auspices of Audi’s sixspeed S tronic automatic gearbox. Upping the ante to $35,900 secures a 220 horsepower 2.0L TFSI I-4 connected to all four corners via Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive technology. Diesel power is also available in the A3 Sedan, though paired only with front-wheel-drive. Option combinations include Audi’s Styling Package, Navigation
Package, and their sport-oriented S line Package. Audi has always been a technology leader, and the A3 Sedan shares in that reputation with a vast array of onboard safety and protection systems. Fuel Economy: TBD Mercedes-Benz C 300 Sedan - C400 Sedan (base MSRP C 300 $43,000 - C400 $51,400) Despite slotting beneath the venerable E-Class in the Mercedes-Benz hierarchy of sedans, the new C-Class Sedan takes on a notably formal appearance and a more upscale demeanor for 2015. It’s also lighter and more powerful thanks to the extensive use of aluminum and a pair of revised engines. The C 300 receives a turbocharged 2.0L I-4 power plant capable of 241 horsepower. Need more oomph? A 3.0L twin-turbo V6 places 329 horsepower under the hood of the C 400. Both engines feed all four wheels through Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC all-wheel-drive technology. The sole use of 4MATIC is a Canadian-market exclusive. Along with new sheet metal and a lavishly-appointed cabin, the C-Class is equipped with the latest generation of COMMAND by Mercedes-Benz. This highly sophisticated infotainment/navigation system is lifted directly from the S-Class flagship. Audiophiles will appreciate the availability of Burmester surround-sound audio components, which are hand-made in Germany. Fuel Economy: C 300 10.9L/7.5L/100km city/highway C 400 11.1L/8.4L/100km city/highway BMW 228i – M235i (base MSRP 228i $36,000 - M235i $48,750) Reminiscent of the legendary 1968 BMW 2002 Coupe, today’s 228i and M235i Coupes combine the outstanding driving dynamics of the stubby BMW 1-Series Coupe, which they replace, with a sleeker,
Volkswagen Customer First
2015 Audi A3
ROB ROTHWELL
more aggressive interpretation of the iconic brand’s ethos. The 228i is the tamer of the pair, but with 241 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, its 2.0L twin-turbocharged I-4 engine delivers highly spirited performance nonetheless. If outright exhilaration is the target, the M235i is the ticket. Its twin-turbocharged 3.0L I-6 mill produces 322 horsepower and 332 lb.-ft. of endless torque. For true driver-oriented motoring, both vehicles can be fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox in place of
the new 8-speed automatic transmission. BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive traction is also available, but can only be paired with the automatic transmission. With the availability of a manual gearbox backed by a choice of turbocharged power plants, the new BMW 2-Series may just be the “ultimate driving machine.” Fuel Economy: 228i 9.1L/5.6L/100km city/highway M235i 11.2L/7.1L/100km city/highway
Drives-U-Crazy Tis the season for seeing four-wheel drive vehicles in the ditch and I saw my first on the Coquihalla just the other day. So many SUV owners seem to think they should go twice as fast as anybody else in winter conditions because they can. Then they try to brake . . . What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
