RESTAURATEUR NEARLY FELL FOR ‘GOOD CON’ BY WOMAN CLAIMING TO BE FROM HYDRO M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
Anne Alliott, owner of Langley City’s My Thai restaurant, is warning everyone she can about a utilities scam that she almost fell for. “I want to tell everyone: don’t be foolish like me. I have never been scammed before. “I always have been pretty smart about these things but this one was a good con,” said Alliott. A woman named “Amy” called her just before New Year’s Eve claiming to be from B.C. Hydro. She told Alliott she hadn’t made her last payment and if she didn’t pay that day, the power would be cut off.

New rules would restrict smelly grow ops TOWNSHIP HOPES TO USE ANTI-REGULATION TO CONTROL LEGAL MARIJUANA GROWING D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
The Township of Langley is taking another stab at restricting legal marijuana grow operations within municipal boundaries, this time going after growers over the smell from their operations.
The new rules won preliminary approval Monday. They would allow the Township and the RCMP to fine smelly grow-ops $500 a day for the nuisance. A staff report says the Township has a legal opinion that going after growers over odours
“is unlikely to raise a constitutional challenge” because it doesn’t order growers to quit, but only insists that they install filters. The report says there are an estimated 600 legal marijuana grow-ops in Langley operating under designated-person pro-
duction licences. Those licences were supposed to be eliminated under a federal government switch to large commercial grow-ops instead of many small growers in April, but that has been held up by a Supreme Court challenge.
Last year, a Langley Township bylaw that would restrict medicinal marijuana cultivation to industrial areas and ban it altogether on farmland was rejected by the provincial government. Continued Page 4

Man accused of kidnapping woman two times MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r
A 39-year-old Langley man is behind bars, accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting the same woman two times in the span of a week in May 2014. William John Bassett Jr. has been charged with two counts of sexual assault and one count each of kidnapping and unlawful confinement. The Brookswood man was arrested and charged on Dec. 4 and remains in custody, with his next court appearance Jan. 23. Three others have been charged in connection with the second kidnapping and
sexual assault, including two women from the same family. On May 17, 2014, Langley RCMP responded to a sexual assault where the victim had been confined overnight. She was able to escape her captor and contact police. She identified her attacker and police allege Bassett is responsible for these acts. Bassett was arrested at the time, charged and released with conditions to have no contact with the victim. A week later on May 25, the same victim was reported missing to police. She was located by Langley RCMP two days later and said she had been kid-
napped and held against her will. “The victim showed obvious signs of a physical beating and stated she had been sexually assaulted a second time,” said Cpl. Holly Marks. She told police a number of people had taken part in the kidnapping itself as well as the confinement. Bassett is alleged to be the perpetrator of this sexual assault as well. “Investigations such as this are extremely complex in nature and take a significant emotional toll on the victim and witnesses. It is important to recognize that the police work very closely with these indi-
viduals throughout the investigations to ensure their safety,” said Marks. “Investigators worked and continue to work very closely with this victim to ensure her safety as charges make their way through the courts,” said Marks. Simultaneously, investigators work to address any specific needs witnesses may have. Bassett is currently in custody on unrelated charges, alleging he kidnapped an individual and held him for some time in Surrey. Bassett, who graduated from a Langley high school, has a lengthy criminal history Continued, Page 11

Alliott had paid her more than $500 B.C. Hydro bill the week prior but thought maybe they didn’t get it the payment. All she could think about was how much money she could lose if she had to shut down her restaurant during a holiday. “Amy” told Alliott to go and put the amount owing onto a Green Dot Visa pre-loaded card she could buy at Safeway. “So I did. I went to Safeway and I couldn’t figure it out so I spoke with staff there.

she said. “I was so mad.” Alliott then went to Safeway and warned them about what selling these types of credit cards can do. She also notified police and is telling everyone she knows. She would like to see grocery stores pull these types of pre-loaded credit cards off the shelves. The utility scam, like the grandparent scam, has been making the rounds in Langley for sometime. A utility company, whether it be BC Hydro or Fortis, wouldn’t threaten to cut off power and require payment in that fashion.

“I phoned the 1-888 phone number Amy gave me and had Safeway speak to her about what she wanted.” Alliott preloaded the Visa card and went back to her restaurant and called the number again. But luckily, Alliott had bought the wrong kind of preloaded Visa. The scammer was looking for the kind that that can only be accessed by scratching off a film on the back of the card which reveals an access code. This allows the scammer to transfer the money directly to themselves. Once the money is trans-

The rear bench and radio were taken out, both door locks and the steering column are damaged, but the wheelchair ramp appears to be intact, said police. Surrey RCMP found the van on Jan. 8, six days after it had been taken. The family van also had an expensive stroller and two car seats used by the family’s twin boys.

No new avian flu cases reported in province CA NADIAN FOOD INSPECTION AGENCY SAYS IT WILL TAKE 90 DAYS BEFORE OUTBREAK IS DECLARED OVER
DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
There have been no new avian flu cases reported in B.C. since Dec. 19, but the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) isn’t ready to declare an end to the outbreak that forced the destruction of more than 240,000 birds in various Fraser Valley locations, including Langley. A CFIA statement said the agency is “monitoring the progress of disposal of dead birds, and cleaning and disinfection of barns, vehicles, equipment and tools on the infected premises.� Movement restrictions for poultry and poultry products are still in place and will remain in place until the CFIA is certain the outbreak is over. The agency said “strict surveillance� of the affected zone will continue for the next 90 days. “If no additional cases of avian influenza are found within this period, the zone can be considered free of avian influenza,� the agency statement said. The CFIA has also announced a ban on importing eggs and poultry from Washington State and Oregon because of an avian influenza outbreak south of the

Until further notice, travellers coming into Canada will not be allowed to bring live birds, eggs, poultry meat (other than fully cooked, canned, commercially sterile meat products and related items) across the border. Since the H5N2 virus was detected at a broiler/breeder farm in Chilliwack and a turkey farm in Abbotsford, a total of 12 sites have been affected, including three in Langley.
The H5N2 bird flu virus is described as a Eurasian-North American hybrid that is especially deadly to birds. It’s the first time this type of avian flu virus has been seen in North America. The worst avian flu outbreak in Canada was recorded in 2004, affecting 42 commercial farms and 11 non-commercial operations in the Fraser Valley and leading to the destruction of 17 million birds.

Question langeytimes.com
On Tuesday, the price of regular gasoline in most parts of Langley fell to $1 per litre (technically, it was 1.009). The Metro Vancouver area has been almost the last area of Canada to see gas prices fall to $1 or litre or lower, Last week in Edmonton, the price was 69 cents a litre. In Abbotsford, it was 95 cents. In most parts of the country, prices have been in the high 80s or low 90s. As world oil prices have fallen, gas prices have slowly followed suit. Diesel prices have yet to do the same — they still remain in the $1.25 range, as diesel fuel pricing involves completely different market forces. Gas prices have stayed stubbornly high in Metro Vancouver because of the TransLink tax of 17 cents per litre on fuel, and B.C. gas prices have stayed well above other provinces because of the 6.7 cent carbon tax implemented by the BC Liberal government under Gordon Campbell. These taxes are in addition to other federal and provincial taxes on gasoline, and of course the GST, which is charged on both the cost of the fuel and the various other taxes. Environment Minister Mary Polak, who is also MLA for Langley, is a staunch defender of the carbon tax and claims it has reduced the use of gasoline, diesel fuel and natural gas since it was implemented in 2008. While she is technically correct about products sold in B.C., she fails to mention that industrial capacity has been reduced since that time, with many large users of fuel such as pulp mills closing down permanently. Carbon tax figures also do not account for fuel bought in adjacent Washington state, which now sees many more B.C. residents come there regularly to fill up, due to dramatically lower prices. The cost of fuel in Bellingham on Tuesday was $1.90 (U.S) per gallon, which works out to about 60 cents per litre Canadian, at current exchange rates. Some governments are talking about raising fuel taxes in the current low-price environment. In B.C., they need to be cut, to make our economy more competitive.

Should Langley Secondary School be closed within the next few years?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Freedoms attacked they
The execution of 10 journalists and two police officers by Islamist extremists in Paris last week has justifiably drawn international condemnation. It’s seen as not only an attack against a single news outlet, but an affront to a fundamental tenet of our democratic values: Freedom of expression. That the newspaper Charlie Hebdo can spark outrage is nothing new. Its satirical attack on institutions on all sides of the political and religious spectrum has spared few. But anger is one thing. Murder is something else. According to media reports the journalists were singled out, identified by name and systematically shot. They are not the first journalists to die, of course. Last year 61 journalists were killed doing their job. In 2013 the number was 70. True, reporting from locations like a war zone can be a dangerous business. But of those killed last year, 27 were deliberately murdered. The motives vary. However, the underlying theme is the suppression of information and a desire to control the message. We can’t let that happen. We can’t let any individual or organization dictate through force the information we receive, whether it’s an in depth investigation, or a satirical cartoon. To be clear, freedom of expression is not absolute. There are limitations, (like the promotion of violence and the dissemination of hate). But that still leaves a lot of latitude. We live in a time when access to information has never been easier. We can find it online, have it delivered to our doorstep, or channeled to our living room. But behind that information are thousands of women and men striving to provide the details you need to form your own judgements about a complicated world. We can’t let the ignorance and intolerance of armed thugs — and those who support them — stand in our way. — Chilliwack Progress

Proud to be Canadian Editor: This in response to Tom Fletcher’s column (Nisga’a proving their critics wrong, B.C. Views, The Times, Dec. 4) and a recent letter to the editor from Ron Johnson, published in some Black Press newspapers (http://www.saanichnews.com/opinion/letters/285297761.html). First, the Nisga’a Nation is not a “parallel state.” As a result of our treaty, we are very much a part of Canada, a fact about which many Nisga’a citizens are extremely proud. In the manner set out in the Nisga’a Treaty, federal and provincial laws apply to Nisga’a Nation, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies to Nisga’a government, Nisga’a citizens pay taxes, and Nisga’a citizens continue to be entitled to all the rights and benefits of other Canadian citizens. If anything, our treaty removed the barriers of the Indian Act that obstructed our full participation in Canadian society. We take exception to being separated in any way from Canada. Second, Johnson’s comment that Nisga’a citizens have become a “landed gentry” MITCHELL is a completely inaccurate STEVENS portrayal of the state of Nisga’a society. It suggests that through the recognition of our aboriginal title under the Nisga’a Treaty, Nisga’a Nation has somehow magically transformed its economic conditions to that of a 19th century aristocrat living off rents. In fact we were not allowed to participate in the industrial revolution, and we need to catch up to the rest of Canada. As taxpaying Canadians, we at Nisga’a Nation still have to earn our daily bread, attract investment to our area and carefully plan and build for the future, just like everyone else in Canada. This is why we support the development of the liquefied natural gas industry in B.C., are seeking to attract investment, and possibly operate an LNG facility on Nisga’a lands. As we have indicated to the government of B.C. at recent joint press conferences, our efforts at Nisga’a Nation provide LNG proponents project certainty to support the establishment of the LNG industry in B.C. generally. Nisga’a Nation strives for sustainable prosperity and self-reliance. We appreciate how Fletcher has kept an open mind to allow his views on the Nisga’a Treaty to evolve. We are optimistic that eventually more people will understand that we want what all citizens of B.C. want — an improved quality of life. H. MITCHELL STEVENS, PRESIDENT, NISGA’A LISIMS GOVERNMENT, NEW AIYANSH
Recyclables end up in one bin Editor: With Langley City’s new recycling system in effect on Jan. 1, as residents of Langley City we are now asked to separate our recyclables into three bins, as posted by Multi Materials B.C. “Starting in January, please sort your curbside recyclables as follows: “Use one blue box for your printed paper and paper packaging that held dry products (shoes, crackers, etc.). Corrugated cardboard that does not fit in this box can be flattened, tied in bundles and placed between your boxes. “Use the other blue box for non-deposit containers (plas-
tic, aluminum, steel, etc.) and paper packaging that contained liquids when sold (coffee cups, milk cartons etc.). “Use the green box for non-deposit glass bottles and jars.” Why is Emterra, which picks up the recyclables, throwing all the separated recyclables into the one and only compartment on the truck? They are not kept separate. All the blue bins and the green bins are loaded into the back of the truck in one fell swoop. L. GEMUS, LANGLEY
Cemetery needs some attention Editor: I read the letter by Fiona Miller (The Times, Jan. 8) about the wonderful Langley City dog park and was stunned at this information. I was wondering where the Township and the City got the budgets for providing such wonderful places for dogs when I, and a few others, have been asking repeatedly for the cemetery on 208 Street to be cleaned up enough for me to feel safe in walking to visit my family and friends’ gravesites. I am surprised people haven’t ended up in the hospital
emergency department from breaking a foot or leg on the uneven grounds. Many of the headstones are buried and are difficult to find. I have had to clean off many headstones of my loved ones, so that they aren’t neglected, as the cemeteries aren’t able to do this. Too bad we don’t have dogs buried in there. Then we might get better service for the cemetery. ROBERTA SABBADINI, LANGLEY
Seaforth bond is a strong one Editor: I wish to congratulate Caitlin Lueks on her splendid article on the Seaforth Cadets published in The Times on Jan. 13. We have a bond, as I was a Seaforth cadet 75 years ago. We trained in the Seaforth Armoury in Vancouver, our uniforms being glengarries, blue tunics, kilts, sporrans and socks. (The bandsmen wore scarlet.) I left the cadets to become a “boy” soldier in the wartime army at age 16, for 70 cents a day pay. I became a paratrooper, was wounded and upon request, wound up
with the Seaforth Highlanders in Holland during the closing days of the war. A splendid regiment it is, with a history of courageous fierce battles through Sicily, Italy and Holland. So as an old Seaforth to a young one, greetings in the motto of the regiment “Guidich’N righ.” Which I suspect you know means “Help the king.” MIKE HARVEY, LANGLEY
2.7 million unpaid fares is unacceptable TRANSLINK HAS TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT THIS ISSUE
Editor: TransLink recently admitted that approximately 2.7 million riders did not pay the applicable bus fares last year. My 10-cent calculator shows that works out to about 7,400 unpaid fares a day. And yet Mayor Greg Moore of Port Coquitlam states on TV that he finds this falls into acceptable levels, compared to other cities. I say to Moore — we don’t live in other cities, we live here. This loss of revenue has to be considered totally unacceptable. And then you want us to vote for a 0.5 per cent increase in the provincial sales tax. Considering an average fare of say $3 times 7,500 unpaid fares per day, that works out to $22,500 per day, 365
days per year. That is $8,212,500 worth of unpaid fares a year. Two things come to mind — $8 million dollars is a lot of money and if there are, in fact, more than 2.7 million unpaid fares, why would anyone pay? There is no penalty for non-payment. It’s timeTransLink started collecting this unpaid revenue. Running a transportation company is not a hobby, it is there to provide a service, a service that should be paid for by all travellers.

Off-leash area, gardens planned for Linwood City of Langley dog lovers and gardening enthusiasts alike have reason to celebrate. Langley City council has approved the addition of a new dog off-leash park and community garden at Linwood Park. Starting early in the New Year, construction is scheduled to be completed in May – just in time for late spring planting and warm weather walks with good ol’ Rover. The community garden will be double the size of the existing garden site at Nicomekl Elementary, offering approximately 28 plots (depending on sizes). The off-leash park, which will be developed in conjunction with the community garden to minimize costs, will feature benches, a walking trail and a drinking water and wash-off area for pets. “These projects . . . promote healthy lifestyles and healthy community initiatives,” said Rick Bomhof, the City’s director of engineering, parks and environment. Request for proposals from not-for-profit groups will be issued for the operation and maintenance of the new community garden site. Centrally located, Linwood Park is about 3.5 acres in size and is bordered by Michaud Crescent and 55A Avenue, between 201 Street and 201A Street. The site offers existing parking and infrastructure, including water service, washroom facilities, a sports field and a playground. Feedback from an open house held on Sept. 18 and a three-week online survey indicated that Linwood Park was the most popular location choice for both the off-leash area and community garden. Of the 130 completed surveys, 62 respondents indicated Linwood Park as their preferred site location. Applications and cost information for garden plots will be available once the City selects the successful not-for-profit group in charge of the administration of the gardens. For more information call 604-514-2997.

He was charged with aggravated assault and assault causing bodily harm as well as convicted of of fear of injury to another person in Surrey in 2009. He posted $30,000 bail in 2013 after being charged with unlawful confinement and assault causing bodily harm. Also charged in relation to the kidnapping and confinement of the victim on May 24 last year is Andreas Bronk, 26, who is charged with kidnapping. Bronk is currently in custody on unrelated charges.

The actions alleged in these charges are an affront to the fabric of our societal standards,” said Langley RCMP’s officer in charge Supt. Murray Power.

technician suggest a CO detector for my home and what does it do?
A: There are a number of reasons that my Chuck, Taylor & Charlie Gandy Gandy Installations technicians recommend CO detectors, eg. older furnace, a brand that is prone to producing CO, poor venting, so if the technician suggested it you should take it seriously. CO or carbon monoxide is poisonous. It is odourless and invisible, it virtually mixes with air and can travel throughout the house. A CO detector can save your life. They will last for five years. There is no immediate danger because all our people do a CO test when they are at your home. An annual tune-up helps but to be safe I would recommend you buy one.

A: Granite countertops bring the art of nature to our homes, as well as the respect we should have to the natural maintenance of the material! (1) Protection: The best way to prevent Kitchen Design stains is to treat the countertop with Experts SEALER. Sealers help repelling spills on the porous surface, giving us time to clean them. (2) Watch your cleaner: Only specifically-made cleaning products are recommended for natural stones. Some abrasive household cleaners wear away the sealer and leave your counter at risk. (3) Food and drinks: Foods, beverages and cosmetics containing acids can damage stone. Be careful when you’re dealing with them. (4) Oops, Spill!! Respond quickly, using non-abrasive items like a soft sponge to remove the spill without allowing it to spread, then use proper cleaner to clean the residue.

be removed. A careful assessment is made for each patient and their situation. Through the use of clinical exams, patient history and complete intra-oral x-rays, your dentist can determine if it is in your best interest to keep your wisdom teeth or have them removed.
Reasons to have them removed are the following: Pain, Impacted or Partially Erupted, Infections, Decay, Damage to adjacent teeth, Gum Disease or Over-eruption of the teeth. Wisdom teeth can also be in close contact with the main nerve in your lower jaws, which can be damaged during removal. This also has to be considered when removing these teeth. Through careful assessment, your dentist can determine if any of the above statements apply to you. As always, the final decision is yours, but it’s important to have all your facts before you make your decision.

These teeth usually erupt into the mouth Dr. Athar Butt BSc, DDS in your late teens or early 20’s, and since this the time most Dentist people arrive at the age of wisdom, they earned the nickname of wisdom teeth. Some people are born without some or all of their wisdom teeth. For many people, these teeth can get stuck in the bone or under the gums and this is known as being “impacted”. If the teeth poke out of the gums but do not fully come out, then this is known as “partial eruption”. For those people whose wisdom teeth fully erupt into their mouths, have no pain or discomfort associated with the teeth, can easily clean and maintain them, have no cavities in them and aren’t causing any detrimental effects on the other teeth, then there is no need to have them removed. They can be checked at your regular dental appointments and monitored for any change.

this year. What can I do?
A: Every New Year, many people look to New Years Resolutions and making positive changes to help with weight loss. Weight loss can impact not only the way you look, but also positively reduce cholesterol levels, blood pressure, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Peter Tong Recent statistics show that up to 28% of people have Pharmacist & Certified tried to lose weight on at least 3 separate occasions. Diabetes Educator This indicates that many weight loss regimens in the past have not been effective. I find that the best method to lose weight is through a medically-supervised weight loss protocol, which consists of weekly or biweekly visits, assessments, alongside a food based program to help you lose your weight safely and effectively. In one study, 92% of people following this type of weight loss regimen reached their weight loss goal, with an average weight loss of 11% of their body weight within 12 weeks. More importantly, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and other health markers all improved. Exercise though encouraged, was not required in this study. This is the basis for the Pharmasave Ideal Protein program, a program designed to help clients lose weight safely and effectively. In this program, 75% of your food intake in a day is provided to you along with supplements to increase your nutrient intake and help you burn off fat faster. Starting this month, the Pharmacy Team at Pharmasave Langley City will be hosting individual one-on-one sessions to help you see amazing results. Contact us at 604-533-7322 to learn more today.

The battle for Kennewick Man
My Christmas reading included a fascinating new book called Kennewick Man, a study of skeletal remains discovered in 1996 on the bank of the Columbia River in eastern Washington. He was an ancient hunter buried just south of B.C. almost 9,000 years ago, in the Early Holocene period following the last Ice Age. Among the oldest humans found along the West Coast of North America, he sparked an unprecedented battle by the Smithsonian Institution to examine the skeleton and publish the book late last year. The most controversial evidence came from the skull. It doesn’t match the classic Mongoloid profile of modern aboriginal people, key to the theory that the earliest humans reached North America by land bridge from Siberia to Alaska as glaciers receded. Smithsonian scientists confirmed initial reports that Kennewick Man is a closer match with early Polynesians, and the Ainu people who remain in Japan today. He lived until about age 40, surviving for years with a stone spear point stuck in his hip. The authors conclude from chemical analysis that “Kennewick Man could not have been a long-time resident of the area where he was found, but instead lived most of his adult life somewhere along the Northwest and North Pacific coast where marine mammals were readily available.”

Langley teacher disciplined for using force on students DECISION RELEASED BY BC COMMISSIONER FOR TEACHER REGULATION D AN FERGU SO N Lan g l ey Ti m e s
A Langley elementary school teacher was suspended without pay for one week after she grabbed a disruptive six-yearold by the shirt, then grabbed the student and another boy by the wrists to remove them from the class, yelled at one of them and told her class of Grade One and Two students that it was “the worst class she had ever had.” Chandra Leanne Carlson was repri-
manded and cited for professional misconduct by the BC Commissioner for Teacher Regulation over the Feb. 6, 2013 incident at Belmont Elementary School. The written consent agreement between Carlson and the commissioner was posted online in late December. It says that when Carlson grabbed the disruptive student by the shirt she “pulled the student with sufficient force that it caused him to surge forward and lose his balance, although he did not fall.”
It says that when she removed the two unnamed students from the class, the “force with which she held the wrists of Students A and B hurt them,” and that she “leaned very close to the face of Student B, when he was seated at his desk and used a loud voice to speak to him, which scared Student B.” Carlson returned to work following her suspension under a number of conditions including developing “effective classroom management strategies” and

Delta rise offers the urban convenience with great views The Delta area is moving up and quickly being recognized as a desirable place to live – so why not do it in the sky? Picture a curving tower that overlooks sprawling views of the Lower Mainland and you will begin to understand why buyers are excited about Delta Rise by Marshall Mountain Homes and ITC Construction Group. At 37 storeys high, it is the tallest tower in North Delta and offers class, convenience and security in an urban environment. The large decks, expansive outdoor
living spaces and oversized windows capitalize on the use of natural light and an airy, open setting. The decks are two to three times the size of a typical high rise, and although the sizes vary on each unit, the large outdoor space is big enough for homeowners to live the life they want. While inside, the open-concept kitchens come equipped with a stainless steel appliance package and polished quartz countertops, perfect for cooking up a meal and entertaining guests. Each floor plan is designed with
every day needs in mind and come in a variety of configurations in one-, two and three-bedroom plans. Prices start at $204,900 for the one-bedroom, $242,900 for the two-bedroom and the three-bedrooms starting at $412,900, which includes two parking spaces. Beyond the feel of spacious luxury, Principle of OTEZS Project Marketing, Bill Szeto says that Delta Rise offers “lock and go living” that allows homeowners to have a great home, plus safety and security to take vacations without worrying while they are away.

Affordable waterfront living in a vibrant community The name says it all - Riversky homes by Bosa Properties combines affordable waterfront living with breathtaking views. Rising up from the river’s edge are two beautifully designed towers that appear to touch the sky. Located on New Westminster’s Esplanade boardwalk, part of the award winning Westminster Pier Park spanning 2.5 km along the waterfront, the building is surrounded by shops, amenities and magnificent views of the Fraser River. “It’s an amazing waterfront opportunity that is unlike any in Metro Vancouver,” says Marketing Manager, Courtney Osinchuk. “New Westminster’s waterfront is a vibrant, growing community that has easy access to downtown Vancouver, via the SkyTrain, shopping and restaurants at your door step, all of the food experiences and activities at the River Market, as well as amazing city and river views.” The one - two - and threebedroom homes start on the sixth floor and up, allowing for maximum views of the river and sky. Prices for one-bedroom start at $229,900 and the two-bedroom homes start at $339,900. The spacious design allows owners to live bigger and brighter, with features including the ExtenTABLE™, SleepTHEATRE™ and BosaSPACE™ design, perfect for transforming all one-bedroom homes into the ideal space for dining and entertaining purposes. There is also a private fitness centre and rooftop entertainment lounge on site. Combining metropolitan convenience with suburban landscapes, New West is a buzzing community

that is quickly gaining attention as the place to be. It’s home to numerous museums, theatres and facilities, while also catering to the great outdoors, with 48 parks and 141 hectares of green space—including the boardwalk right on your doorstep. “Along the riverfront, the new Westminster Pier Park is invit-
ing and allows you to get close to nature,” says Osinchuk. “You will see families strolling, kids playing, people running along the riverfront.” With Riversky’s outstanding views, enjoy the changing canvas of the sky punctuated by mountains on the horizon, the swiftly flowing water and the lights of the vibrant city shinning below as night falls.
“There is life on the river, but also the sense of calm and relaxation that waterfront living brings,” says Osinchuk. “There is a great community in downtown New Westminster; the historic buildings add character and presence to this growing community. It’s the perfect location; in the city, yet nestled away from the hustle and bustle along the waterfront.”
This is the vision of affordable living and there are no limits to what the eye can see with RiverSky. The Sales Centre and Display Suite will open be opening in early 2015. For the first opportunity at RiverSky, register at bosaproperties. com. Or call 604-522-2583 for more information.

Rail workers locked out, but service continues JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Southern Railway of B.C. photo
Southern Railway of B.C., which serves a number of Langley industries, is currently operating without its unionized work force, as the result of a lockout the company issued last week. Managers of the short line railway, which operates from New Westminster to Chilliwack, are now operating its trains. The company and the Canadian Union of Public Employees can’t agree on a new contract.
A short line railway company that moves freight around the Lower Mainland is behind picket lines, after it locked out its 126 workers Monday, Jan. 5, following a breakdown in contract talks. Southern Railway of B.C. (SRY) had served 72-hour lockout notice Dec. 31, after CUPE 7000 members voted 91 per cent to reject a six-year “final offer” of 1.5 per cent a year in the first four years and 1.9 per cent in the final two. “The employer is not interested in bargaining at all,” union president Bill Magri said. “They wanted to get to this point, and that’s where we are. It could be a long one, and we’re definitely prepared. We’ll just dig in and see where we go.” The union voted in November for strike action to back its demands and, after an attempt at mediation, the company opted to require the union to put its offer to a vote. SRY president Frank Butzelaar said the company has 34 managers, all with operational training, who will continue to keep the trains moving. “We believe our offer is fair,” said Butzelaar, noting it includes a $1,500 signing bonus. “The union is quite
unaccustomed to small companies. They are unwilling to accept small companies can’t support benefit packages that larger companies can.” Much of the New Westminster-based railway’s cargo moves to or from Annacis Island from points as far away as Chilliwack. It serves a number of Langley industries, ranging from CKF Plastics and Ipex in Langley City to Otter Co-op and several industries in the Gloucester Industrial Park. Butzelaar said SRY workers are the highest-paid short line rail workers in Canada, often earning more than counterparts at CN or CP. According to the collective agreement that expires March 31, SRY current wages for regular employees range from $28.99 an hour for janitors to $36.07 for locomotive engineers and $38.01 for rail traffic controllers. Without contract amendments, Butzelaar said, the company cannot remain competitive against large trucking companies and large national railways with intermodal operations. SRY is a subsidiary of Montana-based conglomerate the Washington Companies, which also includes shipping firm Seaspan.

Business people can register for the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce’s Jan. 20 dinner meeting to learn how this plan will affect them and their businesses. “Although the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has stated that it is not supporting the plebiscite, our board has invested a significant amount of time on the issue and we want to give our members an opportunity to be informed as well,” said chamber president Kristine Simpson. “Mike Buda, executive director of the Mayors Council, will provide an introduction of the plan followed by a debate of the pros and cons with representatives from the “no” campaign and the “yes” campaign.” The January dinner meeting will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 20 in the Cascades Casino Resort Ballroom (20393 Fraser Highway, Langley) with networking from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Dinner and presentations will follow.

The other event is fresh for 2015, the chamber’s Lunch and Learn workshops, where you spend your lunch break in the chamber office and get one-on-one information from an expert in a small group setting. “When the chamber plans an event, our focus is on education and networking opportunities for our members,” said Simpson. “We are starting off the calendar year with some great events to help business people learn and connect. We are working on a lot of new and exciting

Hawks get wake up call RIC K KU P CH U K Bl ack Pre s s
The best teams in the BC Hockey Major Midget League don’t intimidate the Valley West Hawks. But it’s the weaker teams they should be concerned about. “We have this annoying tendency to play up to the level of the good teams in this league, and play down to the level of the weaker teams,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung, explaining why his team struggled while taking three of four points from the Thompson Blazers last weekend. Against an opponent with just one victory in 24 games prior to their clash with Valley West, the Hawks won a sloppy 6-4 game Saturday night in Chase then played to a 3-3 tie Sunday in Kamloops.
“Thompson was a desperate team and played hard,” said Leung. “But this should be a wake-up call for us. We didn’t play like we’re supposed to play.” Valley West got into a shootout with the Blazers Saturday night, exchanging the lead twice in the opening period. Thompson needed just 77 seconds to take a 1-0 lead, but goals from Trevor Ayre and Erik Bocale – both from the Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association – just 48 seconds apart had the Hawks in a 2-1 lead. Two goals in the last eight minutes of the opening session had the home team in front 3-2 at the first intermission. Valley West netted the first two goals of the second period for a Continued Page 28

4-3 lead, with Wyatt Hicks of Langley and Jeffrey Stewart of Semiahmoo scoring. Thompson came back to tie the score again at 4-4 after 40 minutes. Ayre netted his second of the game with 14 minutes to play to give the Hawks the lead for good. James Malm of Langley added a goal in the last minute of play. Valley West had to come from behind on Sunday to get the tie. Ben Evanish of White Rock tallied 28 seconds into the game, but by the time the contest was 25 minutes old, the Blazers held a 3-1 lead. Christian Bosa of Langley cut the difference to 3-2 with a second-period goal, then Ayre tied it up with five minutes to play. Langley defenceman Cole MacEwan had a pair of assists. The Hawks are now 14-7-5 (won-lost-tied) and are in fifth place in the 13-team league, two points back of the Vancouver Chiefs with two games in hand. “We’re disappointed we didn’t get four points against the Blazers, but we’re still in good shape,” said Leung. “If we get three of four points every weekend, we’ll be all right.” Valley West will play twice against the defending league champion Vancouver Giants next weekend, facing off Saturday at 7:45 p.m. in the Burnaby Winter Club and again Sunday at 11 a.m. at the Langley Events Centre. The Giants are third in the MML with an 18-7-1 record, four points better than the Hawks. “We have an opportunity against the Giants,” said Leung. “We have a chance to catch them in the standings. It’s an eight-point weekend.”

was big enough for a bowl of water. Please note, Mr Chevy. Having the navigation system was great as getting to our destination was a little tricky, and finding our way in the dark could have been a minor trial. Our friendly ‘nav-lady’ delivered us easily. I especially liked getting plenty of warning about upcoming turns. Some navigation systems instruct you to turn at the very last moment, which is not helpful. Often our ‘nav-lady’ gave us two warnings sometimes even three ‘turn left in 250 metres’, ‘turn left in 100 metres’. Believe me it was comforting. All the places we wanted to visit parks, malls, trails and shops were easily found with no hassles. In Tacoma, a third dog joined us for adventures around town – Beau, a large
yellow lab. Everyone knows labs are eternal puppies who enjoy good times no matter where they land. This happy boy landed in the cargo area with the other two and still there was plenty of room for all three dogs with nary a complaint about someone’s paw being on someone’s side. It all made for a fun Christmas celebration with lots of treats, even for my backup navigator Patricia and myself.

steering and running errands just doesn’t feel like a chore anymore. Then there’s what really gets the party started. Under its hood is a 3.0L, turbocharged T6 engine that produces the aforementioned 345 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Torque is harnessed as low as 2,800 rpm and then delivered via a 6-speed automatic transmission. Paddle shifters also come as standard equipment. If there were to be more of a kick while accelerating quickly, that would be welcome, but not necessary. Speaking of acceleration, getting up to 100km/h from zero takes a mere 4.9 seconds. Getting you back to zero is made possible by using Polestar’s 14.6-inch ventilated front

discs matched with six-piston Brembo calipers with 11.8-inch ventilated discs in the rear. The only real drawback of the Polestar, I found, was its turning radius. Tight turns at low speeds wasn’t ideal, but if you need to do a three or four-point turn to get into the mall’s cramped parking stalls, so be it. At the end of our test time together, I’m happy to report that I checked off all the items on the list. If the universe unfolds in my favour, we shall meet again. The Volvo V60 Polestar is available in limited quantities and has an MSRP of $66,895. Visit www.volvocars.ca for more information. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Aluminum and carbon fibre: the new steel Steel is out and aluminum is the new lightweight “in” material for auto body panels. Hang on a minute, maybe it’s Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Plastic? These two materials, plus a very different type of hybrid, are entries for the 2015 AJAC Best New Innovative Auto Technology Award. Ford - F150 Aluminum Body: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses,” is a quote attributed to Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company. The Ford F150 has been the best selling in truck sold in Canada for the last four years. Customers may not have asked for an aluminum body, instead of steel, but there’s solid reasoning behind this change. Aluminum reduces body weight by 40 to 50 per cent. It’s more resistant to corrosion issues and it’s 100 per Bob McHugh cent recyclable. In addition to fuel efficiency benefits, a lighter vehicle also has positive influences on braking, handling, ride and acceleration. A special heat treatment, developed by Ford, nearly doubles (compared to steel) the strength of the military grade aluminum (magnesium) alloy body panels used in the new F150, making them more resistant to dents. Much of the raw aluminum also comes from Canada, as does a good portion of the secondary processing. Ford’s experience with aluminum body parts actually goes all the way back to the 1915 Model T. In 2009 it secretly built an aluminum body F150, for test purposes, and Ford engineers have also been able to draw from experience in developing current production vehicles such as the all-aluminum body Jaguar XJ. BMW Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Plastic: The BMW i3 and i8 are two new all-electric vehicles with ultra-light-weight bodies made from Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). It’s a man-made material that’s extremely strong and it’s about 30 per cent lighter than aluminum. This is the first time that the entire body of a production car has been made with a carbon fiber compound. CFRP is a composite material consisting of carbon fiber surrounded by a plastic matrix (resin). It’s completely resistant to corrosion and is expected to have a substantially longer useful life than metal. It also remains stable under all climatic conditions, according to BMW,

even when it’s exposed to large temperature fluctuations. Carbon Fiber is not a new material to auto racing enthusiasts, where its exceptional strength and light weight make if an ideal body material. CFRP has also been used to make trunk lids, roofs and even drive-shafts in the sporty M Series models by BMW. The main drawback to using carbon fiber in mainstream production vehicles, however, has been its cost, which brings up a Pacific Northwest connection, All of the carbon fiber use in i3 Carbon Fibre BMW i3 BOB MCHUGH and i8 comes from a new production plant in Moses Lake, Washingand two in the rear, and they all provide both power assist and ton State.

OBITUARIES
HOFFMAN, Elmer Emil December 29, 1937 December 20, 2014 Elmer passed away peacefully in Palliative Care at the Jim Pattison Tower, VGH. He was born at Spalding, SK and moved to BC in 1955. He worked as a mechanic for Dueck on Broadway and later as a member of IUOE #115, he operated a crane truck for Great West Steel and Canron, working on projects such as Canada Place sails, Chan Centre and the J.P. Tower. He retired in 1997 and began his business “Saw ‘n Sand”, making many toys and beautiful intarsia wall plaques. Failing eyesight forced him to give this up, as well as fishing, but he still enjoyed tending to his garden and growing tall sunflowers. Survived by his loving family, wife of 55 years, Dorothy; children Janet Bury, (Dave), Daryl and Brent (Lisa); grandchildren Justin & Jillian Bury, Kevin, Michael & Ashley Hoffman, Liam Hoffman, Arianne & Stevie Wulfhorst; sister Dorothy Kilpatrick (Lyle).
