Su pplie d image s
Multiple security camera images from different financial institutions in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan show a male suspect who is believed to be the same person. Most recently, the TD Canada Trust Bank in Aldergrove was held up on Wednesday, Jan. 21.
The man who robbed the Aldergrove TD Canada Trust bank on Jan. 21 may be a modern-day Jesse James. RCMP from B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan, as well as the Lethbridge Regional Police Service, believe the same man committed eight armed robberies across the three provinces in eight weeks. In each robbery, surveillance pictures show the same man. The robberies occurred Dec. 1, 2014 in Princeton, Dec. 9 in Vernon, Dec. 19 in High River, Alta., Dec. 23 in Merritt, Jan. 8 in Swift Current, Sask., Jan. 13 in Lethbridge, Jan. 16 in Claresholm, Alta., Jan. 21, in Aldergrove.

A marijuana grow operation on a “massive scale” has been dismantled on a former mushroom farm at 0 Avenue and 264 Street on Tuesday. Acting on tips from several sources,
members of the federal serious and organized crime unit along with Langley RCMP and Vancouver Police descended on the seven-acre property with a search warrant around 9:30 a.m. More than 10 people were arrested on site and an enormous grow-op, with several rooms and plenty of sophistication, was

discovered in a 51,000 square foot barn, said Sgt. Laurie White of the federal unit. The scope of this grow operation is massive and one of the largest they have seen, she said. The federal police unit spent a month investigating this property. “The investigation will try to determine
who this is being produced for but at this time we don’t know that yet. This isn’t a mom and pop type grow-op,” said White. The property neighbours the border but it doesn’t appear that it has an American connection. Continued Page 5

Standalone cat shelter pitched to council DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter
Supporters of the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) crowded into Langley Township council chambers Monday night (Jan. 26) to hear the organization pitch a proposal for a new facility to spay and neuter the ever-increasing numbers of wild cats in the community. LAPS executive director Sean Baker and board members Darrell Dean and Dr. Kathryn Welsman said LAPS, which has provided animal control services in Langley since 2003, can cover 60 per cent of the cost of the new 1,200-square foot building, if the Township will contribute the other 40 per cent. That would be about $225,000 for the municipality, LAPS projects. Welsman said LAPS estimates there are 22,000 “unowned, feral and abandoned cats” in the Township, and the number is growing. Those cats are overwhelming the existing facility, which can only accommodate about 30 cats before staff have resort to using spaces for dog assessment, training, grooming, even staff offices, she said.
Because the Township shelter wasn’t designed to isolate sick cats from other animals, disease can spread, Welsman added. She described how there was a ringworm outbreak caused by a litter of kittens at the shelter several years ago that spread to other shelter animals, and to some volunteers, who brought the disease home to their families and pets. “The solution is very clear,” Welsman said. LAPS is proposing a separate building that can properly isolate and treat sick cats. To be named the ISOasis, the building would also increase the cat capacity of the shelter and make it eligible for specific spay and neuter grants from groups like the SPCA. The proposal has been added to a list of potential projects that will be considered by council during the Township budget process, mayor Jack Froese said. He added the Township has received many messages supporting the LAPS plan from a lot of different places. “I’ve been getting emails [backing ISOasis] from all over the world,” Froese said. “I got one from Minnesota today.”

Messages of sympathy were posted at the Brookswood off-leash park after it was revealed that the six dogs Emma Paulsen had claimed went missing there actually died of heat stroke in her vehicle while it was parked in Richmond.
Dog walker off to jail S H EI L A REY N O L D S Bl ack Pre s s
Former dog walker Emma Paulsen has been sentenced to six months in jail and two years probation. She has also been prohibited from owning animals for 10 years. Paulsen pleaded guilty in November to animal cruelty and public mischief. Her sentencing took place in Surrey Provincial Court Wednesday (Jan. 28), with Judge James Jardine presiding. Paulsen, who was a professional dog walker for several years, was taking care of eight dogs last May. She sparked widespread media coverage, public grief and numerous searches after she reported that six of the dogs were stolen from the back of her truck, which she claimed was parked at the Brookswood off-leash dog park in Langley.
She pleaded on TV for the dogs’ return. This prompted a massive search in the area near the offleash park, with no results. Days later, she revealed she had concocted the whole story. The truth, she admitted, was the canines died in the back of her canopied truck while she was shopping in Richmond, on a warm day. She then drove to Abbotsford, where she dumped the corpses in a ditch. Necropsies revealed the dogs died of heat stroke. The Crown sought six to 12 months jail, a $5,000 to $10,000 fine, a lifetime ban on caring for others’ animals and a 10-year prohibition from owning or living with animals. Her defence lawyer recommended a conditional sentence served in the community.

Suspect armed and dangerous, say police From Page 1
In each case, the suspect wore a black toque, black gloves, sunglasses and managed to flee on foot with sums of money. All robberies involved a weapon; either being produced or mentioned, said the various police agencies. In all instances, the suspect left the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash and fled on foot. No employees or customers present in the financial institutions were physically injured. Police from all three provinces are working to identify the person responsible and bring him safely into custody. The public should not approach the suspect as he is considered armed and dangerous, said RCMP. Anyone with information regarding any of these robberies, or if you have information on the identity of the suspect, call the tip line at 1-844887-6287. Or you can call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.
$10,000 lost to debit card thief DAN FER GUSON L an gl ey Time s
Langley RCMP are hoping someone can ID a man accused of running up $10,000 from someone else’s bank account using a stolen debit card. Police released a surveillance photo of the suspect using the stolen debit card on Jan. 23. More than $10,000 in charges had gone out of the victim’s bank account when the charges were discovered and reported to police. Police believe the debit card had been stolen from the mail.
Police were still at the scene of a gigantic illegal marijuana grow op on 264 Street near Zero Avenue on Wednesday morning, the day after 10 people were arrested inside a former mushroom barn.
Border services not involved despite proximity to U.S.-Canada boundary From Page 1
“Canadian Border Services Agency and U.S. border officials were aware of our investigation but they aren’t involved,” said White. White said officers were going to be on the property for the entire day and likely longer, dismantling it and taking
away the plants. She didn’t yet know how many pot plants were being harvested. “It’s going to take some time to sort through this,” said White. None of the 10 people arrested have been charged. Expensive equipment, including numerous air conditioners that were lo-

cated outside the building, were used to cool down the operation. Grow-ops expend a lot of heat and at this size, they need cooling. Police weren’t sure the grow-op is licensed, but even if it was licensed, there are restrictions to the amount of pot grown and who can tend to the plants, said White.

This is final year for Langley Has Talent AUDITIONS BEGIN JAN. 31 AT KWANTLEN POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY FOR THE FIFTH SHOW BR ENDA ANDER SON Tim es Reporter
La ng ley Times f ile p h oto
Rapper Josh G. performed at the 2014 Langley Has Talent competition. He didn’t place in the top three, but received a $1,500 scholarship from KPU. Auditions begin for the fifth and final show.
There have been singers in every genre from country to pop to opera, dancers — both troupes and solo acts — rock bands, rappers and even a Cirque du Soleilstyle contortionist. The range and calibre of performers that have graced the stage of Langley’s Christian Life Assembly during the
past four years has only supported what organizers of the annual Langley Has Talent competition set out to prove in 2011, said organizer Peter Luongo — that the community is ready for its own dedicated performing arts centre. And over the next three weekends, Langley Has Talent’s audition judges will be looking for even more variety among
the performers who try out to be part of what is expected to be the competition’s final season. “We’d love to see more classical musicians, more dance troupes and groups of musicians,” said Luongo of his hopes for this year’s auditions, which begin on Saturday, Jan. 31 and continue on Feb. 7 and 14. “There’s a perception that singers win

this thing,” he said. The first Langley Has Talent competition was won by pop singer Tiffany Desrosiers. But since then, a dancer (Lauren Tokiwa), an opera singer (Kari Culjat) and a musical duo (A Guy and A Girl) have all taken the top spot. A rock band and a young dancer have also finished in the top three, he noted. “The talent that wins is not necessarily just vocalists. There’s no bias toward any one art form or another,” said Luongo. “Excellence will be rewarded in the prizes, no matter what form it takes.” Once again, the top act will be rewarded with a cash prize of $2,500. Second place wins $1,500 and third takes home $1,000. There are also a number of industry related prize packages for the top performers to choose from. All of the prizes have been supplied by community sponsors, to whom Luongo offered his thanks. Asked why the Langley Has Talent committee plans to make 2015 its final year, Luongo said that was always the intent. “Our plan from the beginning was a five-year commitment,” he said. This will be it, unless something unexpected happens, he added. Luongo, who has been instrumental in the show’s production each year, is satisfied that the committee has achieved what it set out to accomplish. Its goals, he said, were to showcase local talent; to show, through a demonstration of that talent, that there is a legitimate need for an arts facility in the community; and to prove that, together, Langley’s four Rotary Clubs could engage the community in an effort to see such a facility built. Luongo is a member of the Langley Rotary Club, which along with the Aldergrove, Sunrise and Langley Central
Rotary Clubs, have worked together to present Langley Has Talent since it debuted in the spring of 2011. Raising money to help pay for a dedicated arts centre has never been among the group’s aims, he said, but this year, they are hoping to put aside a bit of cash that could be used in the event there is any follow-up to a commissioned study that was carried out last year. That report, which cost $50,000, split among five participating groups, (both municipalities, Langley’s two universities and the school district) called for a 600- to 650-seat theatre with a range of amenities. The estimated cost of such a theatre, had it been built when the report was released last April, was $30 million to $37 million, excluding land. Because Langley does not yet have an arts centre, the competition has been held annually inside a local church — space for which the LHT committee is greatly appreciative. Both the semi-finals, which will take place on March 28, and the final competition, set for April 18, will be staged once again at Christian Life Assembly. Whether it’s singers, dancers, comedians, bands, gymnasts or jugglers, audition judges are hoping to be wowed by a wide range of talent. “We’re looking for a really great response,” said Luongo. Registration deadline is Friday, Jan. 30. Auditions will take place at Kwantlen Polytechnic University between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Jan. 31, Feb. 7 and Feb. 14. An orientation meeting, which is mandatory for selected participants, will take place at James Hill Elementary school on Feb. 26.

Committee to study public engagement in Township MAYOR APPOINTS STANDING COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT IMPROVING COMMUNICATION D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Mayor Jack Froese unveiled the new Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement Monday night (Jan.26), a bid to deliver on his election promise to overhaul communication with residents in the wake of last year’s bitter battle over a proposal to increase housing density in the semi-rural Brookswood neighbourhood. After several public hearings dominated by opponents of the plan, Township council voted it down at an April meeting, overriding the mayor and the only councillor who backed the proposal, Grant Ward (who lost his seat
in the November election). Froese told the Monday meeting the outcome “made it clear that some Township of Langley residents felt that they’re not being included or adequately consulted during the planning process.” Froese did not directly refer to the equally heated debate over the proposed Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley around the same time, other than referring to “recent events.” “As a result, some citizens became concerned about any and all development proposed for their community, and expressed apprehension about their ability to be
Fine for smelly grow-ops gets final approval D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A bylaw that fines smelly marijuana growops $500 a day won final approval from Langley Township council Monday night (Jan. 26). The vote was unanimous. Township staff estimate there are 600 small legal marijuana grow-ops in Langley operating under designated-person production licences. Those licences were supposed to be phased out in favour of large commercial grow-ops in April, but that has been held up by a Supreme Court challenge. The Township is hoping to avoid a legal challenge of its new odour law because it falls within a municipality’s power over nuisances. A staff report says the Township has a legal opinion that the new regulation “is unCHA RLIE likely to raise a constitutional challenge” F OX because it doesn’t ban growers, but only requires filters. Council also gave preliminary approval Monday to a business licence fee that will require the big commercial grow-ops to pay $5,000 a year when they begin operating. “I think this is the best option that we have [to regulate grow ops]” Councillor Charlie Fox said. “We’ll see how it goes.” The fee will only apply to the growers, not the consumers of medicinal marijuana. Businesses that pay licence fees are subject to inspection by the municipality. The Township is unable to forbid medicinal grow-ops altogether because they operate under federal authority and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), the provincial agency that regulates farmland, has ruled that pot crops are “consistent with the definition of farm use … and as such is an allowed use.” There are at least 19 proposed commercial grow-ops in the Township, most of them located on farmland.
heard during the decision-making process,” the mayor added. “I strongly believe that there’s a need to improve our public engagement process and enhance communication between council, staff and our residents,” Froese went on to say. The six-member committee will have three members of council, Froese, Councillor Michelle Sparrow, who is a member of the municipal Community Participation,
Infrastructure, and Environment Committee, and Councillor Blair Whitmarsh. The others include Dale Ball of the Brookswood Merchants Village Association, Susanna Haas Lyons, who the mayor describes as a “public engagement specialist” and Barbara Sharp, a former City of North Vancouver mayor. Councillor Kim Richter said the attempt at improving communication with the community is off to
an “odd start” because none of the non-council members are any of the people who lobbied against Brookswood development. “The sides who were opposed to anything were locked out,” Richter said. The first scheduled meeting of the task force is set for Wednesday, Feb. 11 at 3 p.m. in the Salmon River Meeting Room at the civic facility at 20338 65 Ave. The meetings are open to the public and council members.

A fresh look at how Langley Township engages with its residents over planning processes is welcome, but there are some weaknesses in the standing commitee appointed by Mayor Jack Froese. “Recent events, such as the proposal of the new Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan, made it clear that some Township residents last year felt they weren’t being included or adequately consulted during the planning process,” the mayor said Monday. “As a result, some citizens became concerned about any and all development proposed for their community, and expressed apprehension about their ability to be heard during the decision-making process.” The standing committee includes Froese and two members of council, rookie Councillor Blair Whitmarsh (who lives in Brookswood) and second-term Councillor Michelle Sparrow, who is interested in finding non-traditional ways to engage residents. It does not include any of the residents who had major concerns with the process last spring. The mayor says they will be able to speak to the committee, and meaningful verbal dialogue is vital. Hearing from people who felt shut out of the process is an extremely useful way to find out where the current system went wrong. There will be other “engagement” with residents, but its exact nature has not been spelled out. If it is simply via an internet public opinion survey or Twitter, that isn’t good enough. The inclusion of Dale Ball, a longtime and well-respected Brookswood resident and business owner, and former North Vancouver City Mayor Barbara Sharp, now a Langley resident, helps broaden the committee. Inclusion of “public engagement specialist” Susanna Haas Lyons raises questions, given that public engagement should be a core competency of experienced elected officials. This committee needs to be prepared to listen to residents, and not just impose a new style of “engagement.”

Most of us do not live in fear about when the next “big one” is going to occur. Yet that doesn’t mean we should go around thinking that a large earthquake event is probably not going to happen to us, so we don’t really need to prepare for such an occasion. Trying not to live in fear is one thing — not taking steps to mitigate disaster when it occurs, is foolish. It could be argued that there’s little anyone can do to protect against a devastating earthquake and a resulting tsunami. There have been plenty of recent examples, worldwide, that demonstrated the terrible impact of these natural disasters. Scientists are warning that it’s only a matter of time before the west coast witnesses another major quake, like the one in 1700 that hit the Pacific Ocean to the west of Vancouver Island. Yet they cannot accurately predict when it’s going to happen. That creates a lot of uncertainty — or a lot of complacency — and the latter is a battle that emergency officials continue to fight, from earthquakes to local disasters. On a small scale, we take precautions in our day-to-day lives (life insurance, seat belts) and in our homes (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors). We are also encouraged to keep emergency preparedness kits close by, in case the larger events occur. These might include temporary shelters (tents), blankets, lighting, battery-powered radios, food and water. The official line is we should have enough supplies on hand (and accessible in the event of a quake, fire or flood) for 72 hours, but after disasters in relatively well-off nations, that estimate has gone up, given that it could take days for emergency and government personnel to open roads and get help convoys rolling. To a great extent, we’re on our own in a disaster and at the mercy of our neighbours if we are not. It behooves us to take precautions — just in case. We can then shed the fear of the unknown and continue to enjoy where we live, knowing that when the big one comes, we have a fighting chance. — Saanich Peninsula News Review

Site C good news Editor: It was good news to hear Premier Christy Clark announce that the province was going ahead with the Site C project and even more wonderful that BC Hydro President CEO Jessica McDonald is planning to start the project this summer on the Peace River. Kudos to both women for being intelligent forward thinkers, who are looking to the future of this province. This will not only give the province more opportunity to supply its residences with electricity, but to also to sell it for profit to our neighbours. Perhaps it is wishful thinking on my part, but maybe the provincial government would consider reducing some of the hefty taxes we already pay if they had another resource coming in to fill their coffers. Better yet, it gives the young people of B.C. good-paying jobs. It opens the door to job opportunities that are not found in the Lower Mainland. People who struggle to find jobs and housing in the Lower Mainland can move north and work to build a strong and resourceful community that everyone can enjoy. Further business development comes from the growth of these types of communities. It’s an opportunity for our sons and daughters to stay in B.C. and not have to leave to find better-paying jobs in Alberta or Ontario. I applaud the decision to move ahead. SANDRA STEFFAN, LANGLEY
Let’s licence cats Editor: It is reported that there are approximately 22,000 stray cats in the Langley area. This reflects upon all of us, as we are responsible for the abject misery many endure. It is obvious they must kill animals and birds for sustenance. They also breed incessantly and produce litters of unwanted kittens constantly. Cat owners should be asked to pay a licence fee. (I own cats, by the way.) And the owners of these cats should be forced to produce proof that their animals are neutered, or pay a higher fee. If they are in the kitten business, they should be licenced as a business venture, with assurances that the kittens produced will find loving homes. The same regulation should apply to puppy mills. MIKE HARVEY, LANGLEY
Generous guys Editor: I want to thank the two generous guys who made my night. I am a skateboarder and was skating in front of my house, when a car came and drove over my board and snapped it in half. I was pretty sad, as I had just bought new wheels and bearings. About two hours later, my doorbell rang. It was the driver and his buddy delivering a brand new skateboard for me. I never got to say thank you, as I was asleep at the time. I hope they read this and realize that they made my night. That was such a generous and kind thing to do. I will never forget this. KURT MORRITT, LANGLEY

Bill Tieleman (left) argued in favour of the Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax at the Jan. 20 Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce meeting, while Jordan Bateman argued against the tax plans.
Will more referenda follow? Editor: We are about to have a referendum for the first specific tax for specific purposes: the 2015 Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax. Now if the referendum results are positive, I have some predictions. The floodgates will open, because politicians have learned a new way to market new tax sources. Be ready for some new “worthy cause” referenda. They could include the following: 2016: Education Class Size Reduction Tax 2017: Health Wait Time Reduction Tax 2018: Policing Enhancement Tax
2019: Poverty Reduction Tax 2020: Affordable Housing Tax 2021: Utility Infrastructure Replacement Tax 2022: [Insert popular issue here] Tax Let’s not forget the general tax revenue fund. It will continue to exist, but will be left for whimsical projects. This referendum is about bigger issues than just transportation. It is a test. Be aware of the implications of voting yes.

Theft of tools is really stooping low Editor: It was a dark and stormy day and the two of us had worked all day in it, and were soaking wet. We were glad to be packing up and heading back to the shop but had one quick stop to make. One of the young guys was having a bad day, so I decided to pick up a Kinder Surprise to cheer him up, as he is a kid at heart himself. While turning onto Highway 10, the tailgate flopped down with tools and containers full of everything imaginable cascading out the back. Looking out the rear view mirror, I could see the debris everywhere and pulled into the center median. We both jumped out of the truck at the same time and ran back to clean up the mess. Looking back up the road I could see my toolbox lying there off to the side of the centre lane. As I made my way back up the road to fetch it, cars were slowing down to go around it. Then this one car stopped, the passenger door
opened, this guy gets out, throws my tool box into the car and takes off. Bang! it hits me: that’s all my hand tools for work. Tools, some old, some new — like friends recognizable by all their little imperfections with memories attached to each one. Obviously this guy has no idea of right or wrong. To steal a worker’s tools is the lowest of the low. My father taught me that when I was a young boy. “You’re taking away a man’s livelihood,” he would say. My thanks to everyone who slowed down to give us a chance to get the mess cleaned up. As for the fool who took my tools — Karma, buddy. I hope you smash your thumb with my hammer, assuming you even know what it’s for. GREG HOLMES, LANGLEY

An Abbotsford mother and sons who found sanctuary in the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church in Langley say they were ordered deported by a judge who didn’t have all the facts. In his written decision ordering Marianna Juhasz and sons Patrik and Tamas returned to their native Hungary, Federal Court Judge Robert L. Barnes said the trio failed to provide evidence that would prove their claim of physical abuse by her ex-husband. In Barnes’ Nov. 10 decision, provided to The Times by the court, the judge said it was “particularly troubling that the record before me fails to include a copy of the Hungarian child services decision … [that] references the allegations of child abuse that were central to the application for humanitarian and compassionate relief.” The judge also said that Marianna Juhasz “did not produce any medical information to corroborate her allegations of an alleged violent assault in June 2010” and went on to state that “I draw an adverse inference from this failure and I conclude that Ms. Juhasz was not assaulted as she alleged.” The Juhasz family sought sanctuary at the Langley church on Nov. 30 after the ruling. On Thursday, Jan. 22, Juhasz and her son Patrik told The Times they have Hungarian-language documentation that supports their claims and are in the process of getting it translated. “I have everything.” Marianna Juhasz said. The mother and son showed a Times reporter a two-inch-thick sheaf of documents, most of it in Hungarian, that they said includes reports by police and child welfare authorities which back their version of events. Among the documents was an English-language report from the Pal Bugat hospital in the town of Gyöngyös, Hungary that states Marianna Juhasz was treated for an injury to one arm around the time of the al-
leged violent assault. The report described her arm as “bruised and sensitive” and said it was not an accident, but inflicted “by a person” who was not identified. Marianna Juhasz told The Times she was afraid to name her husband as the attacker at the time. She fled H u n g a r y with her sons shortly afterwards.

Financial plan, park changes on menu at open house BRENDA ANDER SON Times R eporter
L ang ley Times f ile p hoto
Darrin Leite will present the 2015 Langley City financial plan at an open house on Wednesday.
The City of Langley will host an open house with two distinct purposes on Wednesday, Feb. 4. The first is to offer residents a chance to look over the municipality’s 2015 draft financial plan, which includes a proposed property tax increase. The open house, which will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 4 from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Douglas Recreation Centre, will also feature a display of new design concepts for Buckley Park and Penzer Park. “In order to be effective, municipal governments require involvement from the community,” said Darrin Leite, director of corporate services at the City of Langley. “Feedback from our community members strengthens the quality of policy making, programs and service delivery, so we encourage everyone to come out and
share their thoughts and ideas on these two important subjects.” The 2015 financial plan currently has a gap of $670,075 between total revenues and planned expenditures, which would equate to a 2.95 per cent increase in property taxes to balance the budget. Including utility rate increases, the impact on an average multi-family home (assessed at $200,728) would be a decrease of 2.90 per cent or ($37) and an average single family home (assessed at $486,931) would see an increase of 2.30 per cent or $63. An initial Buckley-Penzer parks public input session was held last November. The event was followed by an online survey to collect resident feedback on design options and priorities for various parks amenities. The upcoming Feb. 4 open house will showcase the initial concepts based on that feedback. Final

plans are subject to budget and council approval. “We had great public input in the fall, with more than 130 residents providing feedback on their priorities for this underutilized park space,” said Rick Bomhof, City of Langley director of engineering, parks and environment. “We hope to continue with that momentum in taking the design comments back to the public and user groups for fine tuning.” Douglas Recreation Centre is located at 20550 Douglas Cres. in the City of Langley. Coffee and tea will be served. For more information about the development of Buckley Park and Penzer Park, please contact the City of Langley engineering department at 604-514-2997.

Big money raised at Walk for Memories KU RT L AN G M A N N Bl ack Pre s s
Langley Township firefighters joined the large crowd that turned out for the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s fundraising Investors Group Walk for Memories, Sunday, Jan. 25 at Aldergrove Athletic Park. Local politicians such as MLA Rich Coleman, Township Mayor Jack Froese and Councillor Charlie Fox helped this year’s walk honourees, Susan and Boyd Wylie, cut the start ribbon. The participants then followed the skirl of the bagpiper as they set off
in the walk around the park. Both Susan and Boyd Wylie, married since 1978, have experienced the loss of their mothers to Alzheimer’s disease. Boyd first connected with the Alzheimer Society of B.C. in 2008 for information to better understand his mother’s diagnosis. He and Susan later became founding members of an adult kids’ support group in Langley. They both credit attending support groups as allowing them to
learn more about the disease and to process their feelings. Both Susan and Boyd have extensive knowledge of dementia and provide endless empathy and support to others whose lives are impacted by dementia. They also volunteer at numerous local events by distributing information. Participants in the walk here included Wes and Dawn Rousseau of Aldergrove, who were joined by 15 family members and friends in their Team Fyfe, who raised $615

Car thief well known in Langley arrested in Surrey MONIQUE TAMMING A Tim es Report e r
HAR RY HUNT Black Press
A former Top Ten most wanted car thief who was is well known in Langley has been arrested again in Surrey by the Integrated Municipal Auto Crime Team (IMPACT). On Jan. 13, IMPACT investigators allegedly arrested Richard James Mantler, 43, of no fixed address, in a stolen Ford F150 in Surrey. Police had identified the stolen vehicle by the licence plate being associated to a theft and assault, three shoplifting incidents, theft of liquor from a liquor store, and a hit and run collision, said IMPACT. When arrested, Mantler had two outstanding warrants, one for assault in Surrey and for breaching his probation in Langley.
In November 2013, he was sentenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty to dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and obstruction. The charges relate to an incident that took place in Langley City on July 25, when he drove a stolen car directly into a police vehicle. “Chronic ofR IC HAR D fenders such as M ANTLE R Mantler are a top priority for our investigators,” says Cpl. Rob Stephenson, spokesperson for IMPACT.

A bullet was found on the school grounds of R.C. Garnett Elementary last Wednesday morning (Jan. 21). The live round was discovered by Langley’s own Valley Mom blogger and Langley Times columnist Kristyl Clark. She was dropping off her youngest daughter at Five Star Learning Centre preschool — which is connected to R.C. Garnett — when she made the scary discovery. “I found it on the ramp leading into the preschool,” said Clark. “I brought it into the teacher and she brought it to the office,” said Clark. “It is now with the school liaison officer.” The bullet appears to be for a .22 rifle. Langley RCMP said the principal called them and police have since picked up the bullet and destroyed it.

Wolf kill last hope for caribou When the B.C. government last resorted to shooting wolves from helicopters in the 1980s, an emotional public outcry forced a retreat. In the B.C. tradition, sensation-seeking urban media and protesters led the way. An outraged reporter named Pamela Martin marched a BCTV crew off the road near Fort St. John to expose this presumed crime against nature. With a metre of snow and temperatures dipping to -40, they didn’t get far, but public sentiment was aroused enough for politicians to overrule wildlife biologists. This winter, while snow reveals the wolves’ location from the air, the choppers and rifles are out again. And my heart goes out to the biologists and First Nations hunters who face this grim task. The South Selkirk mountain caribou herd, which ranges between B.C., Idaho and Washington, has been the target of intensive conservation efforts by governments on both sides of the border. Six of the remaining 18 animals now wear radio collars. There were 46 in 2009, only 27 by 2012, and wolves have killed two more since last spring. Targeted hunting and trapping haven’t been sufficient, so up to 24 grey wolves are to be shot from the air before the snow melts. There are seven car-

females with young calves to keep them from being picked off by wolves. The B.C. grey wolf population averages around 8,500, with managed hunting and trapping to protect livestock while preserving the wolf as apex predator in most of its wide range. This context is seldom reported by Vancouver media, which mostly sees its role not as explaining issues but rather embarrassing whatever political party is in power, and providing an uncritical platform for the stop-logging-mining-energy crowd, which is seen as popular with urban viewers. Remember the spotted owl, with the fringe of its range extending into southern B.C.? Our branch-plant enviros marketed that one for years. Its core habitat is Washington and Oregon, where many sawmills were shuttered to “save” them. Now they’re shooting invasive barred owls, which have emerged as a greater threat to spotted owls than logging. Context is important. I suppose we’ll never know what difference the 1980s wolf kill would have made if it hadn’t been shouted down for TV ratings and urban enviro-donations.

ICBC blocks 25,000 drivers for Port Mann toll evasion ANOTHER 17,000 INSURANCE REFUSAL NOTICES APPLY TO GOLDEN EARS BRIDGE USERS
JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s
Thousands of B.C. drivers are being frozen out of driver’s licence or car insurance renewals because they refused or neglected to pay bridge tolls. ICBC acts as the enforcement mechanism and it currently has refuse-to-issue notices on file against 25,000 drivers for failing to pay their Port Mann Bridge tolls and 17,000 for unpaid tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge. By comparison, ICBC is also blocking 9,300 parents for failing to make child support payments and 4,100 TransLink fare evaders who haven’t paid their tickets. The 25,000 drivers barred by ICBC for Port Mann tolls is an alltime high and has been as low as 10,000 at other times, according to the Transportation Investment Corp., which manages the bridge. Maple Ridge motorcyclist Stacey (Stella) Murdoch argues it’s too heavy handed for ICBC to deny people the ability to drive without any option to gradually repay the debt over time.
“When you do that to somebody you limit what they can do,� she said. “People get into these situations but we have to give them a way to get out.� Murdoch started the Facebook page “Golden Ears Bridge Toll Nightmares� after her husband was blocked from renewing insurance until he paid $8,000 in bridge tolls, some of which he believed were charged in error. They rarely cross the bridge now because neither works in Langley anymore. The couple is also selling their Maple Ridge house, after which they’ll pay off the outstanding tolls. Murdoch said she’s surprised by how many other people are in the same plight. “I bet there are a lot of people out there driving around without driver’s licences.� She also argues tolls unfairly hit people who live near the two toll bridges and work on the other side of the Fraser River. “I’m not saying bridges

But Interest charges of 1.5 why are people in Maple per cent a month (19 per Ridge and Pitt Meadows cent annually) are addspecifically being (saded to unpaid Port Mann dled) with this bill?� she tolls.

— twice as much as in the fall of 2013 — and the 25,000 drivers who owe that are mostly unregistered, meaning they are billed by mail, with an extra $2.30 licence plate processing charge added to each $3 toll. TransLink officials were unable to comment on Golden Ears Bridge toll enforcement, but said they are having more success in compelling transit fare evaders to pay their fines since the province provided new powers in 2012. In addition to denial of insurance or licences through ICBC, TransLink can also send unpaid fines to collection agencies. Revenue from transit fines was up 25 per cent in 2014 from the previous year as of the end of November, according to spokesperson Cheryl Ziola. TransLink had collected $1.8 million in fines in 2014 as of Nov. 30, compared to $1.4 million in all of 2013. Fare evasion fines start at $173 but climb to $213 after six months and $273 if they’re unpaid after a year.

The best of both worlds; affordability and accessibility. Rising up from the core of a vibrant community are two elegant towers created by the reputable Bosa Properties. The transit-friendly neighborhood offers an array of places to shop, eat, learn, and play, making the two Uptown towers the pinnacle of both luxury and convenience. Uptown2 is located on the cusp of the Coquitlam border just before Burnaby and close to Vancouver – it’s
the best of both worlds; the affordably of living in a blossoming community with an already bustling city mere minutes away. Nearby is Simon Fraser University, Douglas College and BCIT, plenty of shops at Lougheed Mall to satisfy a Saturday afternoon shopping spree, and within ten minutes, is Como Lake and Burnaby Mountain, offering over 30 parks to explore, hike and bike.

Inside is a 5,000 square-foot exclusive wellness pavilion, complete with a yoga studio, outdoor courtyard, and Àtness centre, including infrared sauna and steam room. Each home has Áoorplans that maximize every square foot of space, providing a feeling of clutter-free calm and plenty of room for entertaining guests. “Also, windows in some of the kitchens,” says Wang on some of the features that make Uptown stand out. “This is not typically found in highrise condos – enjoy the view while you cook.”
Once again, Bosa Properties has created a well-loved community by centralizing the building within a great urban village, with plenty of access to amenities by foot or transit. “The neighborhood around Uptown is emerging,” says Uptown2 Sales Manager, Alice Wang. “At Uptown’s base will be a large grocer - a Sobey’s or subsidiary of Sobey’s. She adds when it comes to the supply of condos
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
The sleek and spacious kitchens follow an L-shaped design, allowing for generous counter space. Contemporary wood-grain cabinets, imported marble backsplash, quartz counters, and soft-close doors compliment the modernized environment. With premium appliances and timeless interiors, no detail is too small to help ensure that Uptown2 owners feel a sense of ease and upscale living. The projected date of completion for the towers is early 2017 and Uptown2 is now selling.

Extra parking for Yorkson project TOWNSHIP STAFF AND DEVELOPER REACH DEAL TO ADD MORE SPACES THAN REQUIRED D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A deal has been struck that will provide more than the minimum required amount of parking in one section of a developing Langley neighbourhood that is said to suffer from a shortage of vehicle spaces. The agreement, which covers 24 proposed row house and semi-detached housing units in the 20900 block of 80 and 80A Avenues in the Yorkson area, increases the number of parking spaces by 50 per cent over the minimum to provide three to four parking units for each unit, plus shared visitor parking and street parking. The Ambiance Projects Ltd. design was presented at a Jan. 12 public hearing. In response to council questions, Ramin Seifi, the Township general manager of engineering and community development, indicated the Ambiance development will likely not be the last Yorkson project to
provide more than the minimum parking allotment. Seifi said staff have been holding “discussions with various proponents” about ways to increase parking spaces. Buyers of the houses will also be required to make a legally binding promise that their garages will only be used for vehicles, an apparent response to a staff report that found some of the shortage of parking in Yorkson was because some garages were being used for everything but storing cars and trucks. Councillor David Davis called the proposal “a step in the right direction.” Councillor Charlie Fox said the new standards would provide “ample” parking. Some residents of the Yorkson area have been lobbying council to add more parking to already-built neighbourhoods, saying a shortage of available spaces is forcing visitors to park an excessive distance

For the last two years, council has agreed to ease parking ticket writing in South Yorkson over the Christmas holiday to allow vehicles in the no-parking areas of 80 Avenue near 210 Street.
Traffic engineering staff have proposed a temporary fix that would create 12 new on-street parking stalls at 212 Street and 80 Avenue. The suggestion was outlined in a staff report to council that warned it would only be an interim solu-
tion because the area “is part of a future road realignment.” The $50,000 cost of the spots has been added to a list of possible Township construction projects to be considered for approval by council in 2015.

New Willoughby centre one of only 12 in B.C. MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Willoughby Elementary is home to one of the first Early Years Centres in B.C. This centre supports families with children aged 0-6, offering a variety of programs and services all under one roof. Langley Township is one of only 12 B.C. communities selected to try this pilot concept. Sites were chosen by a cross-ministry selection panel that included representatives from the ministries of Children and Family Development, Education, and Health. The early years centres are the first step of the eight year provincial strategy to improve accessibility, affordability and quality of early years programs and services. Willoughby Elementary, on 200 St. and 80 Ave., is in an area that has a large number of families and is under rapid development, serving a high number of children ages 0-5 and their family. “The goal is creating relationships with parents and to prevent vulnerability when they are young,” said Alicia Stark, the Early Years Centre co-ordinator. “As the Willoughby community grows at such a rapid rate, we believe this location provides the potential to reduce children’s developmental vulnerabilities by increasing access to support services and increasing access to advice, assessments and referrals for par-

The centre is home to Strong Start, Willoughby Junction Early

Langley recreation programs. Parents in the area already are well aware of the Strong Start program that is full every morning. The afternoon Family Time is a similar drop-in program and is
also filling up. Stark said the biggest change at this centre is bringing all the services under one roof. “The whole purpose of the centre is to bring services to the community instead of the community going out to find the services,” said Stark. It means if a child is experiencing development issues, the parent can work with staff at the centre, who can help with a referal to the proper services, whether it be infant development or mental health. Children can be experiencing anxiety or behaviour issues, that can be addressed early and before they get to Kindergarten. “Early intervention is key to beating vulnerability in children,” she said. The teachers at the various groups offer the knowledge and resources. Parents can come to them with concerns about their children. “We are hear to help the whole family unit,” she said. The vulnerable population of young children has grown in Willoughby, and even in affluent areas like Fort Langley, Stark said. It can translate to behavioural, emotional and developmental milestones not being met if early intervention and help isn’t found. A grand opening event is planned for Jan. 31, from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. There will be face painting and a bouncy castle along with crafts and other fun for the kids.

Spartans volleyball teams bound for post-season
TRINITY WESTERN MEN SWEEP UBC WHILE WOMEN SETTLE FOR SPLIT IN CANADA WEST ACTION The Trinity Western Spartans have won nine straight matches after taking a pair of the UBC Thunderbirds. The Spartans — ranked third in the country — won 3-1 (2628,25-19,29-27,25-19) on Friday and 3-0 (27-25,25-20,25-17) on Saturday at UBC’s War Memorial Gymnasium. The T-Birds are ranked eighth in the country. TWU improved to 16-4 and have qualified for the Canada West playoffs. “The first two sets were a little sloppy and a little greasy,” said Spartans coach Ben Josephson, following the second match. “They made some nice adjustments, but in the second set, our offence started clicking and then we started clamping down on a couple of things. “Overall, I thought the guys won the greasy sets and then played really clean and smooth in the third set.” The Spartans trailed 13-11 in the third set before scoring 14 of the final 18 points to complete the sweep.
Nick Del Bianco led the team with 14 kills while Branden Schmidt had eight blocks, Tyler Koslowsky had seven digs and Adam Schriemer delivered a pair of service aces. Del Bianco and Ryan Sclater led the attack the first night with 16 and 15 kills, respectively, while Daniel Grant had 11 blocks. A big key in the win was 11 service aces as Sclater, Del Bianco and Schmidt had three apiece and Schriemer had a pair. ••• The Trinity Western Spartans recovered from a tough fiveset loss the first night — which snapped an 11-game winning streak — by sweeping the UBC Thunderbirds in the rematch in Canada West women’s volleyball action at UBC’s War Memorial Gymnasium. The fifth-ranked Spartans (155) have qualified for the Canada West playoffs and sit one game back of conference co-leaders Alberta and UBC Okanagan
with four games to play. Sophie Carpentier had 16 kills and five digs to lead TWU while Alicia Perrin had 10 kills, four digs and four blocks. The Spartans won their match by scores of 25-13, 25-20 and 2518. UBC’s five-set victory the night before saw the teams trade the first two sets by identical 25-19 scores, the Thunderbirds won the third set 25-17 before TWU stayed alive with a marathon 36-34 win in set four. The fifth set went to the home side 15-13. A big difference in the two games was both teams’ hitting prowess. In Friday’s UBC victory, the T-Birds hit .228 while the Spartans were at just .096. But the roles were reversed on Saturday with TWU hitting .340 and UBC at .056. Perrin led the way in the loss with 17 kills and six blocks while Katelyn Devaney had eight blocks and three service aces. Kristen Moncks had 13 digs. Both Spartan teams host the Saskatchewan Huskies this weekend (Jan. 30/31) in a pair of matches at the Langley Events Centre.

At the 2014 FEI World Equestrian Games, Barwick won a silver medal and a bronze medal in Individual para-dressage freestyle test grade II and Individual para-dressage championship test grade II, respectively. According to the Federation Equestre International (FEI), Bar-
wick is ranked as the number one para-equestrian rider in the world as of May 27, 2014. Barwick became paralyzed from the waist down as a result of a ranch accident in 2000, when a 75 kg hay stack fell on her as she worked in the barn. The 49th annual Athlete of the Year Awards ceremony takes place March 12 in Vancouver.

Six straight for streaking Spartans A playoff spot is in the books and first place is in their sights thanks to a sixgame winning streak. The Trinity Western Spartans men’s hockey team holds an 11-point lead over the Victoria Vikes with six games to play in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League regular season. The Spartans won twice last week on home ice at the Langley Events Centre, knocking off the Simon Fraser Clan 5-3 and Victoria 5-1. The victories improved TWU to 14-2-0-2. “When I first got to TWU, we were never expected to win whenever we played,� said captain Blair Murphy. “Now we come into every game thinking we can win and take every single point and it feels like we deserve it. “While this is just the start, clinching a playoff spot this early just shows how far this program has come.� Jake Harcoff, Mattias Schmitt and Murphy had a goal and an assist apiece to lead the Spartans in the first game while PJ Buys and Grange Gordon had a goal each.

YOUR HEALTH
President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch
ARTHRITIS
Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. Many people on our website write: “Can walk #1 NPN 80042283 again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Albert E. Blain, 74, Schumacher, ON Even after TURP prostate surgery and microwave therapy had to get up many times. Now down to 1-2 times. Tea is 100% better than drugs. Robert G. Stocker, Eustasis, FL After 1st year drinking tea my PSA went down to 4.5; after 2nd year to 2.9; after 3rd year to 2.3. I highly recommend the tea. A real life saver. Thomas M. Thurston, #4a NPN 80051642 Forsyth, GA. Women Ask for #4b Bladder Control Tea for Women.

The Canadian auto season kicked off in Montreal and the Vancouver show starts March 24. Do you plan to visit the show? If so, are you looking to buy? Or just to see what’s new? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca for question of the week

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!
Safety Tip:
Toyota FT1 Toyota was all about the roar of the engines in Montreal, which certainly pleased the gathered Quebec auto journos, who to a man/woman always appear to be race crazy to me (Given the market reality in Quebec, that doesn’t appear to be reflected in car buyer choices). Nevertheless, most would surely enjoy the sleek lines of the Toyota FT-1, designed to be at home on the track and a heck of a ticket magnet on the highway. Up next is the Toronto Show, which takes the name The Canadian International Auto Show. Bite your lip, Morgan. The Calgary show follows, then the new-look, re-imagined Vancouver International Auto Show debuts March 24-29.
Potholes can be a hazard during cold and wet weather months. For all types of winter hazards, remember two key tips: reduce your speed and increase your following distance. The more time you have to react to any hazard the better.

itation. In real world highway and city driving the RDX returned 13L/100km just slightly worse than the 12L used in the CR-V. All wheel drive (AWD) comes standard on all models but it is a simpler system than the previous model. The suspension is less aggressive than the past model too. This has all been done to produce a ride that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. In everyday driving, the laid-back approach is welcome but the powerful engine always makes the commute fun. Verdict Some good news, the rumour mill is grinding out potential new updates for the 2016 model year including a refreshed front end and interior tweaks. Stay tuned. As it stands, the RDX is a bargain in
the small luxury SUV space but this Acura model almost needs an edge because the brand doesn’t have the same badge-appeal as the German makers and even Lexus. This RDX competes in the luxury space but many potential buyers don’t perceive Acura to be true luxury, more premium than luxury. This is the same battle Lincoln is facing. If you are in the market for a fantastic, very well equipped small SUV with plenty of luxury touches then the RDX should be on your list. Get past the badge-appeal and find out for yourself what this vehicle has to offer. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 3.5L V6 with 273hp Fill-up: 12.1L/8.7L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $$41,390-$44,390
