LSS will not be closed LANGLEY BOARD OF EDUCATION VOTES TO SUBMIT ‘RIGHT-SIZING’ OPTION TO PROVINCE MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

D AN F E RGUS ON L an gley Tim es

Langley Secondary will not be closed. The Board of Education decided on Tuesday night to press for a new high school in Willoughby, and to keep LSS open as a “right-sized” smaller school with an emphasis on trades training, special needs programs and sports academies, as well as academics.

Langley Secondary School will live to see another day. In front of a standing-room-only audience, the Langley Board of Education voted against a motion to permanently close LSS at a special meeting held at the board office on Tuesday night. Only board Chair Rob McFarlane and Trustee Shelley Coburn voted to close Langley’s oldest school. The board then voted to direct staff to submit a business case to the Ministry of Education in favour of option four to ‘right-size’ LSS and build a new high school on the Willoughby slope. Long-time Trustee Alison McVeigh was vocal in her strong support of keeping LSS open. “LSS provides excellent education opportunities. It could serve as a trade hub. The Langley Education Centre can remain, grow and thrive . . . . This option is the least disruption for our students and this school serves a large special needs population, the Focus program and many ESL students,” said McVeigh. Long-time Trustee Rod Ross thanked the public for having the “wisdom” to come up with option 4 to right-size LSS. “LSS really does serve these kids. Let’s give them the building they deserve. I’m asking the board to defeat this motion [to close the school],” Ross said. Trustee David Tod said this process of public consultation and the passion parents and students have for this school has “energized” him. “I say yes to LSS,” said Tod. “When we re-open LSS, I want to be there when those Saints go marching in.” (The school’s teams are known as the Saints). Trustee Rosemary Wallace was a parent who fought against the reconfiguration of H.D. Stafford from a high school to a middle school. Her daughter had to be moved to LSS in her Grade 12 year. “She was a leader at Stafford. Then the board of the day changed it to a middle school with no real plan in place. Let me tell you the transition sucked,” said Wallace. But she said LSS staff have worked very hard in making the school a community and bringing in principal Dawn Tomlinson has been the blessing. Numerous parents, teachers and students have spoken of Tomlinson’s leadership and caring for the diverse needs at the school as a key element

as to what makes LSS so special. Wallace said voting for the least disruption to the lives of children at Simonds Elementary, Stafford and LSS is an opportunity for some healing over what happened in the past. Trustee Megan Dykeman voted to not close LSS, but with some reservation, she said. “I will vote to support LSS resizing, but I do so with concerns we won’t receive the ministry’s support for it,” said Dykeman. McFarlane also didn’t believe the ministry would like the right-sizing option. McFarlane ran for school board initially because of the Stafford reconfiguration debacle in 2008. On Tuesday, he voted in favour of staff’s recommendation to close the school. “It is all about location. LSS used to serve central Langley. But now geographically Stafford serves the population and that’s why I believe the reconfiguration of Stafford and Simonds is the best option,” said McFarlane. “As well, the LSS right sizing is several million dollars more. Coburn said supporting right-sizing LSS is the easy option, but isn’t the right one. “In the long term, it is not the best choice,” she said. After the vote, Ross urged the public and the board to be hopeful the ministry will come to the table with funding for both LSS and a new high school. “The ministry asked us to come up with a business plan and that is what we’ve done,” he said. “Allow ourselves to dream big and look at this as a best day for Langley,” Ross said. Before the vote, several delegations spoke about keeping LSS open and remembering the dire needs of the growing, and under capacity Willoughby area. Grade 10 student Taylor Swift said she is the voice of the 890 students at LSS. “There is an amazing culture at LSS. Our slogan says ‘ordinary people doing extraordinary things.’ That’s what we are doing every day.” As a straight A student herself, involved in many facets of extracurricular activities, she points out that LSS is graduating many scholarship students, boasts some of the best sports programs, including the Baseball Academy, has a strong dance and theatre program as well as a great support team in all of the staff and teachers.

Transit tax debate reaches council chambers SPEAKERS F OR ‘YES’ AND ‘NO’ SIDES MAKE PITCHES TO LANGLEY TOWNSHIP COUNCIL D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

The debate over a proposed transit improvement tax came to Langley Township council chambers Monday afternoon, with speakers on both sides making their cases. Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation represented the opposition, while Jon Garson of the BC Chamber of Commerce spoke in favour of the tax and Mike Buda spoke on behalf of the Mayors’ Council, the group which came up with the idea. Bateman, a former Township councillor, attacked TransLink, the agency that administers public transit, as “a very poorly run organization” that doesn’t deserve more money from taxpayers. “You have to fix that organization and you’re not going to do it by giving them more money,” Bateman said. Bateman said, as a former Langley councillor, he has had the frustrating experience of trying and failing to get the transit authority to pull itself away from Vancouver issues and pay attention to Langley needs. “We always get the short end of the stick,” Bateman said. Bateman said the proposed half a per cent increase in the provincial sales tax would only give Langley shoppers one more reason to shop next door in Abbotsford, where the tax won’t apply. “This is not a good deal for Aldergrove,” Bateman said. Garson, the vice-president of policy development and government relations at the BC Chamber of Commerce, said the vote is not about the inefficiencies at TransLink, and defeating the proposal will not “change that culture” at the transit authority. “This is not a plebiscite on TransLink,” Garson said. He added criticism about TransLink waste and mismanagement has been “overblown.” “They actually run quite a good machine,” Garson said. Garson warned a “no” vote would make the provincial and federal governments less willing to contribute to public transit in the Lower Mainland, and that would lead to a “patchwork” transit system of different Metro municipalities competing for funding. “A ‘yes’ vote will be the most important decision this region has made in a generation,” Garson said. He took issue with Bateman’s warning

DAN FER GUSON La ng ley Time s

Jon Garson of the BC Chamber of Commerce argued for the “yes” side in the transit tax referendum at Langley Township council on Monday (Feb. 16). about the potential harm to businesses, saying the tax increase will not have “significant negative impact.” Buda said the mayors’ council is preparing a “100-day” plan that spells out what would happen immediately after the tax increase was approved. For Langley, Buda said the increased funding would result in better bus service “within months, especially in off-peak hours” because the transportation authority would then be able to pay for the drivers and fuel necessary. Other improvements will take longer, because they will involve buying new buses, constructing pedestrian and bike lane improvements, upgrading major roads and building new rapid transit lines, he said. “It takes about two years to build a bus,” Buda said, which is why the new rapid bus service to Langley would take about three years to get going. Extending rapid transit from Surrey to Langley would take even longer, about 12 years before construction starts, Buda estimated. Mayor Jack Froese said residents need to look at the “big picture” when they vote and consider how improving transit in other communities will benefit Langley by reducing congestion throughout Metro. “It’s not just our back yard,” Froese said.

Froese spoke against an attempt by

PICK OF THE WEEK

Councillor Kim Richter to have the Township council vote to formally oppose the proposed tax. “I really don’t feel council as a body should be influencing this [tax] vote,” Froese said. Richter argued the tax is not a good deal for Langley, and council should take a position even though it had voted to remain neutral at a previous meeting. “We occupy these chairs because people elected us to leadership roles,” Richter said. “We need to stand up and be counted on this,” Richter added. Councillor Angie Quaale, the architect of the neutrality policy, said council was “demonstrating leadership” by having the presentations from both sides. Richter’s proposal was defeated by a majority vote. The transit tax referendum ballots will go out around March 15 and Metro residents have until late May to mail them back. The 0.5 per cent Metro-only sales tax would fund $7.5 billion in improvements including more frequent SeaBus service, extra West Coast Express commuter rail cars, more HandyDart service, as well as light rail lines in Surrey, a Broadway subway in Vancouver and a new Pattullo Bridge.

A plan to breathe new life into one of the City of Langley’s more troublesome corners was greeted with a mix of enthusiasm and caution by members of council on Monday night. At its Monday (Feb. 16) meeting, council issued a development permit for the construction of an eight-unit townhouse complex on a strip of land at the corner of 56 Avenue and 201A Street — an area that is somewhat notorious for illicit drug deals and prostitution. At a public hearing earlier in the meeting, architect Fred Adab and landscape architect Mary Chan presented a plan for the development on behalf of the property owner, Jasbir Singh, who operates the Stop and Shop convenience store on the opposite side of 56 Avenue. The lot, which is long and very narrow, presented a unique challenge for designers, said Adab. The solution came in a plan for two buildings of four units each, to be constructed in a single line fronting 201A Street, with driveway and parking access at the rear of the property. The eight three-storey units will be 1,500 square feet, including three bedrooms and a den. Each unit will boast a private rooftop garden with lattices and a two-car garage. The development is geared toward “affluent” people who are downsizing from a detached house, but don’t want to live in a tiny apartment or townhouse, said Adab. The proposal includes skirting the property with 40 trees and 750 shrubs — all drought-tolerant, said Chan, during a brief presentation. Only one person spoke at the public hearing. A resident of the condominium complex at 20145 55A Ave., located across the street from the proposed development, complimented the architect on the design, but told

Discrimination claim against Cascades Casino dismissed D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A claim of discrimination by a deaf poker player against the Cascades Casino in Langley has been dismissed by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. Jenny Alexander filed a complaint after she was told she couldn’t use sign language to communicate with a deaf friend while the two were playing Texas Hold ’Em in the casino’s poker room. That was a violation of the casino house rules that say only English can be used at the table while a hand is in play. The casino pit manager told a tribunal hearing the rule was imposed by the BC Lottery Corporation, the provincial agency that regulates gaming in B.C. “Permitting conversations in other than English could result in collusion between players by sharing information about their hands, thereby gaining an advantage over other players,” the manager is quoted as saying. Alexander said she and a friend, who is also deaf, had been playing poker together at the casino nearly every day for a year before their use of sign language became an issue in June, 2013. The pit manager said it only became an issue because the two were using sign language during play and other players complained. While Alexander and her friend insisted they never signed when they had cards in play, the manager said he personally witnessed them doing exactly that. Alexander was asked to play at a separate table, away from her friend. The manager said he would have made the same request if

B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has ruled that Cascades Casino not allowing deaf players to converse in sign language during a poker game isn’t discriminatory. two players were conversing in a language other than English while playing. Under questioning by Alexander, he said he would not prevent anyone from using sign language when no hand is in play. The next day, Alexander and her friend were again told they would have to play at separate tables. The poker room supervisor gave Alexander a written note that said “it puts us [the casino] in a difficult position as we can’t put the two of you on the same table while other players are feeling uncomfortable.” In the 18-page decision released Feb. 3, tribunal chair Ber-

nd Walter said Alexander appeared to interpret the casino’s actions as a total ban on sign language, when in fact the ban only applies to signing during play. Walter said the casino was not accusing Alexander of cheating, only breaking a rule meant to prevent cheating. “I do not suggest anything more than inadvertence on the part of Alexander in using SL [sign language] while a hand was in play.” While he accepts that Alexander felt “she was being singled out and felt embarrassed” Walter said he doesn’t accept her complaint that it “occurred for no reason.”

We don’t want to have

Langley Township council is joining a Langley City call for construction of long-promised electronic warning signs. The signs, designed to alert motorists when to divert to new overpasses to avoid delays at railway level crossings, were supposed to be installed by March of last year. It never happened, because the cost of the high-tech signs turned out to be more than expected. Langley City has written a letter to the project manager of the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor, demanding that it honour its promise to install electronic traffic signs on 200 Street, 208

Street and Logan Avenue in the City. On learning that, Township Councillor Charlie Fox said the same demand should be made for the four planned sign locations in the Township — at 200 Street between 66 and 70 Avenues, Glover Road and Mufford Crescent, 56 Avenue and 211 Street and Fraser Highway and 210 Street. The vote on Monday (Feb. 16), was unanimous. The displays were supposed to be part of the $2.5 million Rail Crossing Information System (RCIS) that uses advanced motion detectors to predict when a train is going to pass through an at-grade rail crossing. However, Langley City CAO

Drug smuggling trial delayed DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

There has been a delay in the trial of a Chilliwack man accused of trying to smuggle a meth-lab-in-a-box across the Aldergrove border crossing last November. The trial of Calum James Buchanan was supposed to begin in Washington state this month, but a judge ordered it postponed until March to allow more time for forensic tests on the chemicals discovered inside a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am on Nov. 23 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers.

Court documents posted online show the trial is now set to begin March 9, when the crime lab analysis of the chemicals should be complete. It appears Buchanan’s co-accused, fellow Chilliwack resident Lola Crystal McKay, has not returned to the U.S. to answer the charges against her. A warrant for her arrest on one count of bail jumping remains in effect. McKay and Buchanan were arrested at the Aldergrove crossing after a U.S. customs officer became nauseated and vomited from the

Francis Cheung said the sign project included a budget of $3.8 million for the signs, but when they were put to tender, bids came in higher than anticipated. The rail line through the Langleys currently carries up to 18 trains a day to and from the Deltaport container cargo and coal terminals, ranging from 6,000 to 9,500 feet in length. That is expected to become up to 38 trains daily by 2021, with some trains as long as 12,000 feet. Cliff Stewart, vice-president of infrastructure at Port Metro Vancouver, said at Tuesday’s Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce meeting that the warning signs will be in place by the end of this year.

New role for Coleman Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, who is currently deputy premier and minister of natural gas development, as well as minister responsible for housing, has taken on yet another role — military liaison with the Canadian Armed Forces. “By establishing a military liaison, we are making sure military services are better integrated to serve the people of British Columbia,” said Premier Christy Clark, in announcing the appointment. In his role as liaison deputy premier, Coleman will interface with the military within B.C. He will work to improve the lines of communication, strengthen joint emergency response and the co-ordination of resources. “I’m honoured to take on this new provincial liaison role,” said Coleman. “Military personnel provide an important service in B.C. and I look forward to working together to improve the safety and protection of British Columbians.” The Canadian Armed Forces employ more than 12,000 military and civilian personnel in B.C. There are eight major military bases in the province, including the Canadian Forces Base (CFB) in Esquimalt, as well as 12 militia units throughout B.C. Aldergrove is home to a military communications centre.

200 St. traffic delays could go into fall MAYOR WORRIES THE ENTIRE ROAD MAY GET RIPPED UP ONCE MORE FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Drivers in the City of Langley can expect delays along 200 Street, south of Fraser Highway, to last into late summer or early fall as crews replace and upgrade water, sanitary and storm water utilities below ground. While work is carried out, traffic along the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main north-south thoroughfare is being reduced to one lane in either direction. Piggybacking on work being done by Metro Vancouver to construct a new sewer main along a right of way, between 53 Avenue and Fraser Highway, the City is using the opportunity to add capacity and performance upgrades to the water, sanitary and storm water utilities that run beneath 200 Street from Fraser Highway, south to 50 Avenue.

Once the work is complete, the full width of 200 Street will be repaved between those two cross streets. After being briefed on the progress of the work, which began in mid-January, Mayor Ted Schaffer asked the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineer, Rick Bomhoff, whether any thought had been given to extending water and sewer lines toward several properties along the west side of 200 Street in anticipation of their redevelopment. Schaffer noted there are a number of older homes along a stretch of 200 Street that will likely be redeveloped into multi-family structures in the not-too-distant future. It would be a shame, he said, to complete this project, then have to go back in a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time and cut up the new pavement to install water and sewer services to those lots. Bomhoff replied that there is currently no process in place to service lots prior to their redevelopment. He added that the City would have to lay out the money now to install the lines and then collect it back from a future developer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did it on 201A with a gas line,â&#x20AC;? noted Schaffer, adding that thinking ahead just seems prudent.

Crews work along 200 Street, which is undergoing upgrades to water, sanitary and storm water utilities. The work is likely going to go until late summer or early fall. That means traffic delays along the busy corridor, south of Fraser Highway, will carry on for many months to come.

Costs vs. benefits

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

Langley Township council is going to stay neutral in the debate over the 0.5 per cent sales tax increase to fund transit improvements. At the same time, Mayor Jack Froese is continuing to campaign for a “yes” vote, as part of the Mayors’ Council. He is entitled to do so, and in fact it would be quite hypocritical if he didn’t, given that he is one of 20 Metro Vancouver mayors who voted to go ahead with the sales tax plan. Council heard from both the “yes” and “no” sides at its Monday meeting, and also heard from Mike Buda of the Mayors’ Council, who outlined the advantages for Langley if the sales tax increase is approved, and how soon transit improvements would come about. It is likely that the majority of Langley Township residents who are planning to vote in this referendum are leaning towards the “no” side at this point in time. Very few Langley residents use transit regularly — it is infrequent and inconvenient, and a trip involving the bus, particularly if a transfer is involved, is painfully slow. The improvements which are planned would make it easier for some residents to use the bus, but most will still likely stick with their cars, simply because they haven’t got enough time to use transit. TransLink has rarely given Langley much thought, and even in the vision for transit outlined by the mayors, major improvements in Langley are a long ways off. Residents will have to think about the costs of paying more sales tax versus the benefits they are likely to see, and then make their decisions accordingly. Council’s neutrality allows them the ability to do so, freed from endless messaging from one side or the other.

Question langeytimes.com

of the week

Given all the revelations about TransLink, how will you vote in the transit referendum?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Saanich Peninsula municipal leaders are in the midst of budget time and residents have very limited opportunities to have any input on the services and spending within their communities. That is not to say that people do not have a chance to influence how town and district councillors will spend tax dollars and prioritize big-ticket items, such as fire halls, overpasses, civic buildings and more. Those chances, however, are typically one-way streets — as long as a civic body adheres strictly to the Local Government Act. Sidney Councillor Mervyn Lougher-Goodey pointed this out during their Feb. 2 regular meeting. While he was commenting during a different presentation, what he said holds true for the input process into the 2015-2019 Financial Plan. In essence, if council doesn’t relax the meeting protocol, councillors can hear from residents, but not respond to questions. And vice-versa. On Monday, Feb. 16, Sidney councillors gathered to address specific areas of the budget. It’s the first real opportunity for council and the community to weigh in, says Director of Corporate Services Andrew Hicik. It’s a committee of the whole session and while it generally offers more chances for discussion between council and staff, residents can often feel on the outside, looking in. If people do address council’s planned spending and service levels, don’t expect a quick answer. This means it’s up to people who wish to make a point to be prepared. It can be said that a well thought-out argument, one that is delivered with confidence and clarity, can be very convincing. Go in unprepared and that issue you’re fighting for, or against, might not get the desired response. Sidney, to be fair, is not alone in this process. North Saanich and Central Saanich are also in their budgeting process this month. It may not seem like the sexiest of topics, but these civic budgets and spending decisions often have the most direct impact on taxpayers. These plans also provide some insight into the longrange direction of the community itself. It’s worth the time to listen in. — Saanich Peninsula News Review

Notice of motion backing new tax offered Editor: I saw that Langley Township Councillor Kim Richter was putting forward a motion to council about the upcoming transit referendum. She wants council to officially oppose the Mayors’ Council Transit and Transportation Plan. This is based on some inaccurate information. Based on the actual facts, I have taken the liberty to revise her motion as follows: Whereas Langley Township Council has now heard the cases for and against a new 0.5 per cent sales tax for transit in Metro Vancouver; Whereas all the the money raised by this increase in the PST will be spent in Metro Vancouver, including Langley Township; Whereas transit improvements in Langley Township under the 10 Year Mayors’ Plan includes billions of dollars worth of new transportation infrastructure like B-Line express bus routes on 200th Street and along Fraser Highway, a light rail line that connects Langley’s core to SkyTrain, new routes in growing neighbourhoods like Willoughby, and increased frequency and service to existing routes; plus more SkyTrain services, B-Lines, Surrey LRT and a new Pattullo Bridge which, while not in the Township, will greatly benefit Town-

ship commuters; Whereas Langley Township has a guarantee that transit improvements in the Township will occur because residents are voting for the Plan specifically tied to the Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax; Whereas all the new Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax funds will go into an independently audited and publicly reported account used only for the Mayors’ Plan; and Whereas the Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax will positively affect Langley businesses by reducing congestion and providing better transit options attracting even more new customers; Therefore be it resolved that the Langley Township Council take a firm and public stand in favour of the proposed Metro Vancouver Congestion Improvement Tax because it is a good deal for Langley Township residents and businesses. Therefore be it resolved that Langley Township Council push aggressively for a Yes vote in the upcoming referendum. DAN TURNER, LANGLEY

Get to bottom of smell issue

Dinner turned out to be a treat Editor: To celebrate my mother’s 100th birthday last week, my brother and I took her out to dinner as one more way to mark the occasion. At the Flourishing Chinese Restaurant, the staff quickly realized this was a landmark event. They, along with the patrons, offered their hearty congratulations and seemed happy to share in our celebrations. Later, when we asked for the bill, we were told the diners who had been seated behind us had paid for our dinner. What a delightful and unexpected gift. We don’t know the names of these thoughtful people but would like to offer our sincere thanks for such a generous and special ending to a very wonderful day. JOAN BEST, LANGLEY

Florence Slavinsky turned 100 on Feb. 9. A birthday dinner was unexpectedly paid for by other diners.

Editor: I’m writing to respond to the letter published in The Times Feb. 12, headlined “Metro trying to track down source of smell.” As a resident of the Walnut Grove area, I have experienced a foul odour on numerous occasions over the last few months. The letter states that Metro Vancouver has made improvements at the plant to minimize odours and, based on recent investigations, staff believe the odours are unlikely to be from the wastewater treatment plant. As someone who lives in Walnut Grove and frequently travels over the Golden Ears Bridge, I would say — based on the high concentration of odour in the area around the plant — that the facility which may be causing the odour is in close proximity to the plant. If the odour is similar to that of a waste treatment plant, isn’t it likely that the odour is a by-product of animal waste? I do not believe there are any animal rendering plants in the area but there may be the storage of manure. I recently read an article that stated that manure that was left uncovered in large spread out piles will eventually decompose and that this version of composting creates unpleasant odours, if there is not enough air reaching the inside of the pile.

It is also my understanding that the decomposition of manure can produce four gases — hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, methane and carbon dioxide, and at high concentrations may pose a health threat. This may be a concern for those that either work or live in close proximity to the origin of the odour. In the letter, Simon So goes on to say “The northwest portion of Langley Township contains many industrial and agricultural operations that emit strong odours, making it difficult to pinpoint a specific source.” I am confident the majority of residents and those people working in the Walnut Grove area would be more than willing to volunteer their time to help Metro Vancouver and the Township of Langley in their continuing investigation. With spring and summer just around the corner, it is imperative that we identify the source and make whatever changes are necessary to eliminate the odour. My thanks to Metro Vancouver and the Township of Langley for responding to the concerns of the residents of Walnut Grove and helping us to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Comparing the City to the larger Township, Schaffer said the workloads are comparable, noting he puts in between 50 and 60 hours per week, including numerous evening commitments. “It’s up to the public to judge whether 50 or 60 hours warrants a salary of $80,000,” he said. Hall’s motion failed in a 6-1 vote. “I appreciate the intention,” Storteboom told Hall before the vote. “Every year you bring it up, that we have to show restraint — agreed. At $2,500 a month per councillor, I believe the City gets good value from council,” he said. If the City’s financial plan passes as presented on March 2, Mayor Ted Schaffer will earn $80,943 in 2015. With the .8 per cent increase, that’s up $629 from $80,314 last year. Each council member earns 40 per cent of the mayor’s salary. In 2015, that will be $32,377. It is up $252 from $32,125 in 2014.

Salary increases for the City’s mayor and council should be determined by the consumer price index and not by what the leaders of other Metro municipalities earn. That’s the contention of Langley City Councillor Dave Hall, who made a motion on Monday, Feb. 2 that council change the method by which it calculates raises in its own pay, ahead of first and second reading of the City’s 2015 financial plan. By using the CPI instead of tying their remuneration to the mean of Metro communities, Hall said, the City could show restraint that is not currently being exercised. “If those guys at the mean we’re tied to, jump 13 per cent, ours jumps, too,” said Hall. “There’s no debate; It’s just a rubber stamped. They’re automatic and non-discretionary.” Councillor Gayle Martin disagreed, noting that by using the Metro median, City council’s salary will rise by .8 per cent this year. Using the CPI, that raise would be .9 per cent. Hall said he is taking a longer-term view, noting there have

been “extravagant increases in the past” for municipal councils tying mayor’s salary increases to the Metro mean. “The bottom line is whatever we do this year won’t have the greatest impact,” Hall told The Times. “It’s what other councils (in Metro Vancouver) do that will drive next year’s salary increases. We have no control over that. We have control over this.” The mayor of the City makes a base salary of more than $80,000, noted Hall. Ted Schaffer also has an expense account and, like other members of council, earns additional pay for sitting on various committees. “He’s pulling in close to $100,000 for a town of 27,000,” said Hall. “(Council is) not hard done by. It’s a small city.” Schaffer told The Times, that he won’t, in fact, earn anywhere close to $100,000 in 2015. “For myself, I didn’t want to be on any Metro committees,” he said. Instead, he appointed Councillor Rudy Storteboom to represent the City. At the request of Metro chair Greg Moore, Schaffer will sit

staff will dutifully enforce these provisions,â&#x20AC;? Mitchell told council at the Monday, Jan. 26 meeting. He said the Township should take a closer look at the farm use applications to the ALC over the last two years since the new bylaw was approved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suspect the process is not broken, simply its implementation,â&#x20AC;? Mitchell said.

Councillor Kim Richter said the changes should be delayed to allow council more time to consult the public, but she could not muster a majority of votes. Councillor Bob Long spoke for the majority when he said the Township has limited powers over dumping and digging because it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little bit under the claw of the provincial government and the agricultural ministry,â&#x20AC;? which must approve the bylaw before it can take effect. Councillor Charlie Fox said the tighter regulations become, the more likely people will be to circumvent them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody wants to come here and sit here and listen to people tell them they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a landfill,â&#x20AC;?

Changes to a Langley Township bylaw that aims to control soil dumping will make it slightly easier for larger landfills to get the necessary approval from neighbours. Council has given tentative approval to an overhaul to its â&#x20AC;&#x153;soil deposit and removalâ&#x20AC;? bylaw after a staff report disclosed no one has ever applied for a dumping permit under the two-year-old regulations that require 80 per cent approval from neighbours when more than 600 square metres of fill is proposed. Under the existing rules, when neighbours are surveyed, any who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond are counted as opposed. That is a difficult hurdle to clear, and the result has been applicants going around the requirement by applying directly to the provincial Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), for approval as â&#x20AC;&#x153;farm use.â&#x20AC;? The ALC is the agency that has the final say over protected farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) that covers three-quarters of the Township. The ALC has noticed an increase in the number of farm use applications from Langley landfills and has â&#x20AC;&#x153;expressed concernsâ&#x20AC;? to the Township, says the report by Roeland Zwaag, the Township director of public works. Under the proposed changes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-responsesâ&#x20AC;? from surrounding property owners wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t counted as votes against any more. The changes would also add a requirement for a public information meeting, at the applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expense, for permit applications to deposit or remove more than 10,000 square metres. The proposed changes did not find favour with Kevin Mitchell, one of the residents who worked with the Township on

The annual ritual of a health care ‘crisis’ The annual ritual of declaring a crisis in health care is upon us, with the BC Liberal government boasting that we have the best system in Canada, while the NDP and the B.C. Nurses’ Union try to portray it as the worst. The BCNU is the last big public sector union still to settle in the latest round of contract talks. Feeding horror stories to the media is part of its strategy, and this time it was a patient at Abbotsford Hospital assigned a bed in a small shower room for a month due to chronic overcrowding. Hospital officials said his care wasn’t compromised. We’ve seen it in Abbotsford, Surrey and elsewhere: a new hospital or expansion is built and is immediately overcrowded. We are reminded every winter that influenza season brings a wave of people into emergency, expecting treatment for a viral infection that in most cases can only run its course. Many people still don’t understand what “the flu” is, beyond the notion that it sounds serious enough to tell the boss you won’t be in to work. And as fewer doctors choose the endless demands of family practice, the expectation that all problems must be dealt with quickly and for free seems to grow as inexorably as the health care budget. An emergency physician of my ac-

Sip a comforting cup of a coffee and help Langley’s homeless at the same time. The Salvation Army Gateway of Hope has come up with an innovate ‘text to donate’ campaign for the month of February with the help of Envision Financial and the local Langley Wired Monk Coffee Bistros. Together they have created a coffee sleeve campaign that directly benefits the Gateway of Hope homeless shelter. Three Wired Monk locations in Langley — Walnut Grove, Murrayville and Willoughby — will be using custom coffee sleeves on each cup they sell that says: “text HOPE1002 to 45678 to make a $5 donation to Gateway of Hope.” The goal is for residents to be reminded of the Gateway of Hope’s work in the community and to provide them with this easy way to instantly give back via their phone.

This text to donate campaign will go on until Feb. 28. “We are so privileged to be partnering with Envision Financial and The Salvation Army Gateway of Hope on this campaign. We believe in giving back to the communities we live in, play in and love,” said Corrine Bradley of the Wired Monk Coffee Bistros. “This text to donate campaign is such an easy and fun way to give. We would encourage and challenge everyone in the Langley community to stop, think, and give to the Gateway of Hope while you’re out and about picking up your coffee at any Langley Wired Monk Coffee Bistro.” Envision Financial, a longtime partner with the Gateway of Hope, has sponsored the design and production of the coffee sleeves to make this campaign possible. “We’re proud to support innovative partnerships like this

one with the Wired Monk and the Gateway of Hope” says Barbara McKeown, branch manager, Langley City and member of the Gateway of Hope’s Community Advisory Council. “At Envision Financial we believe in making a real difference in the lives of those in our communities; by encouraging our coffee drinking neighbours to think of the Gateway of Hope, we know that the excellent support, programming and services will be available to help those in need.” One hundred per cent of the proceeds go to Gateway of Hope and to their work in the Langley community. Members of the community are invited to attend monthly tours at Gateway of Hope in order to learn more about their programs and services. Those who are interested can phone the main office (604-514-7375) to find out tour dates and sign up.

Good hearing, poor comprehension? The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newlydeveloped hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear. A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the highfrequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not

They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. A new hearing chip has been developed. Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. First, a hearing test

and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

We truly appreciate the efforts taken to conserve these sites that convey our unique story as a

community.” In 2010, the Township created a Community Heritage Register Plaque Program to recognize the commitment that owners of heritage buildings make to ensure the continued use of their structures. To be eligible, buildings must be on the Township Community Heritage Register, which officially recognizes the heritage value of a site under the Local Government Act. Since the program started, close to a dozen projects have been recognized.

The restoration of the Hope Carriage House in Fort Langley was recognized by Langley Township on Monday (Feb. 16), National Heritage Day and the start of Heritage Week in B.C. The owners of the house, Dale LaVerne and Margot McKenzie, were presented with a community heritage plaque by Mayor Jack Froese, for the work done to the two-storey timber frame structure located behind the Fort Langley Community Hall. The Hope carriage house is the only surviving structure from the early and extensive Charles Edward Hope estate. Called Illahie, the estate was built around 1912 and spread out over five acres in what is central Fort Langley today. The carriage house sheltered the horses and carriages that were used to get to the Great Northern Railway Station at Port Kells. The upper level was used for feed storage and as a residence for the caretaker and gardener. Although the Hope residence burned down in 1929, the carriage house and some of the trees from the elaborately landscaped

Getting Results For B.C. Business

By: Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce

February 16, 2015, marked the beginning of Chamber of Commerce Week, an opportunity for Chambers of Commerce across British Columbia to showcase their hard work on behalf of business communities across the province.

significant win for B.C.’s businesses: the launch of the Canada Job Grant in B.C. Thanks to the hard work of Chambers in B.C., working closely with a responsive government, employers will be able to apply for up $10,000 in training funds. The Canada Job Grant, funded by the Government of Canada and administered by the Province of B.C., is an innovative cost-sharing program that helps employers offset the cost of training for new or current employees.

Tired of the same meals week after week? This year, Chambers are celebrating the theme of “Leadership in Action” – a theme which highlights the leadership Chambers bring to their business communities, working hard to enhance B.C. as a business-friendly jurisdiction with strong opportunities for all British Columbians. And this leadership delivers results. Following on B.C. Chambers’ active advocacy, the federal and provincial governments working in partnership, were able to deliver a

And that’s just one of many positive changes that the Chamber network has led for B.C. businesses. Among many areas of impact, B.C.’s Chambers have been a key voice:

At the local level, Chambers throughout B.C. are catalysts for change, bringing together business and community leaders to figure out how to take each community forward.

• encouraging balanced budgets at all levels of government; • continuing to call for solutions to B.C.’s skills gap; and • encouraging municipalities to actively support local economic development.

So as B.C. celebrates Chamber Week, don’t miss the opportunity to swing by the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce (#1 5761 Glover Road, Langley), join in on some Chamber Week events (check out www.langleychamber.com for a list of Chamber events), and celebrate the leadership, energy and can-do attitude that B.C.’s Chambers bring to our communities.

As members of the BC Chamber of Commerce, Chambers throughout the province are part of B.C.’s most extensive business policy development process. This process brings B.C. businesses’ innovative ideas and on-the-ground insights to B.C.’s decision makers, and helps shape an ever more business-friendly province. Chamber network policies span from fiscal and tax policy to infrastructure to industry-specific issues.

There are many benefits of buying locally Buying locally is a great way to find the products and services you are looking for and help your local economy along the way. The small businesses in your Community may be owned by your next door neighbour, who relies on their community to keep business going strong. Buying locally is not only beneficial for local business owners, but buying locally benefits consumers and members of the community in a number of ways. Buying locally creates jobs. Potentially for your friend or family member. Buying locally helps the environment. Buying within your community reduces the amount of fuel you’re likely to use for a weekend shopping trip while also reducing pollution. In addition, many local store owners use local materials and ingredients, reducing the amount of fuel consumed to get products into the store. Buying locally creates a more closely knit community. Juggling a career and a family can make it hard for men and women to get to know their neighbors and other members of their community. Buying locally is an opportunity to strengthen that bond with your neighbors, creating a close knit community. Buying locally is more convenient. Convenience is paramount to many consumers, and buying locally saves both time and money. Driving to a faraway mall or shopping centre or paying costly online shipping fees is not nearly as quick or convenient as shopping within your community, where you can purchase and take home items on the same day without using a full tank of gas or paying for shipping. The reasons for shopping locally are many. In addition to helping local business owners, consumers who shop locally are also helping themselves.

Evolve destined to become a landmark residential building Sometimes big things come in small packages, and that is exactly the case for Evolve - a new high-rise condominium in the heart of Surrey City Centre. The tower is anchored in West Village, an exciting new neighborhood where convenience and luxury collide. Marketing Director, Kiran Rai says the homes are perfectly priced for a first time buyer looking to get into Metro Vancouver’s real estate market. “We often hear about how unaffordable homes in Metro Vancouver can be, it can be tough for first time buyers to get into the market,” she says. “That’s exactly what makes

Evolve unique to other tower homes, because Evolve offers concrete homes for less than the price of wood frame.” Evolve by WestStone Group will offer “micro” suites for people seeking urban ease in a home offering strategic space. One development in particular, which is located a block from city hall, will feature a 316-square-foot studio suite for less than six figures. “Evolve homes start at $93,900, meaning that with a down payment of $5000, your monthly mortgage would be less than a car loan payment,” says Rai. “Even students can stop renting and afford to buy their own homes.” But Evolve isn’t just getting at-

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

tention because of its price point. Exclusive to the Evolve Sales Centre is their Thin-Air Augmented Reality technology that allows each guest to essentially walk around inside a virtual version of one of the suites using the free Evolve 3D app on their own phone or tablet. Also, screens inside the sales centre allow potential buyers to see what a 3D version of their preferred floor plan looks like. The 36-storey tower offers 406 homes in a range of suits, including studios, one- and two-bedrooms, twobedroom and dens, townhome lofts, and penthouses. The suites themselves offer laminate

wood flooring throughout the entry, bedrooms, and living spaces; 8.5-foot ceilings throughout; large windows and spacious balconies to ensure plenty of natural light. The surrounding area is part of a master-planned community of West Village. Downtown Vancouver is accessible by transit at Surrey Central Skytrain Station, and over 140 stores and retailers are located at nearby Central City Shopping. The area offers a community plaza, city hall, library, shopping, recreational facilities and entertainment to ensure urban ease. Or grab a coffee, walk the dog and enjoy a jog or a stroll any time of day

through the many paths and parkland of the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. “What’s more is that Surrey was recent named one of the 7 most intelligent cities in the world, according to the Intelligent Community Forum in New York,” says Rai. If you have ever dreamed of owning a home, the opportunity is within reach with Evolve. The Sales Centre is located at 13328 104 Avenue in Surrey, BC. The anticipated date of completion is Early 2018. For more information, visit: evolvecondos.com

EVOLVE is destined to become a landmark residential building stressing livability and sustainability

UBC’s Prodigy close to every urban amenity, yet surrounded by the ocean and forest parks Buffered from the rush of the city by Pacific Spirit Forest, and perched on South Wesbrook Village at UBC, is Prodigy by Adera – a collection of 188 urban apartment homes. “We are really excited about this,” says Eric Andreasen, vice-president of marketing and sales for Adera. “The UBC area is some of Vancouver’s most premium real estate because it brings a casual environment together with an intelligent lifestyle nearby one of the world’s highest ranked universities.” Prodigy is the second six-story wood-frame building at UBC that compliments its natural surroundings and incorporates elements that celebrate the west coast lifestyle. It is close to every urban amenity, yet surrounded by acres of gorgeous forest parks, trails and beaches. Extensive green spaces and pathways link the community together, giving homeowners stunning views of Mundell Park that quaintly borders the site. If the vibrant city of Vancouver is what you crave, Andreasen says it’s no more than twenty minutes away. Prodigy provides a balanced lifestyle for homeowners who seek the reprieve of the elements without sacrificing urban conveniences. Residents can enjoy small neighborhood shops and services, cafes and restaurants, with Save-On Foods, UBC Hospital, Chan Centre for the Performing Arts and the Museum of Anthropology nearby. Andreasen says that for the long-term, Prodigy is perfectly suited for families, whose children can gain an education all in one area with access to some of the top schools in Canada, including University Hill Elementary and High School and UBC. Once inside, homeowners will find both space and elegance. Unwind with spa-like luxury in Prodigy’s beautiful bathrooms that combine sleek style and durability. The elegant kitchen uses an open-floor layout and eye-pleasing aesthetics. It comes equipped with stainless-steel appliances, porcelain tile backsplashes and floors, and quartz slab countertops. Cooking is made easy; the rest is up to you. Adera’s private rooftop lanais provide ample space to relax or entertain outdoors. Best of all, each patio is

In true West Coast Modern style, these luxury apartment homes are inspired by a natural design aesthetic, achieving visual and ecological harmony. covered with a solid extension of roofline, so whatever the mood or the weather, the fun can happen yearround. Of the bedrooms, Andreasen said they took customer feedback into consideration. “We were listening to their desires, and what they were asking for was four-bedrooms,” says Andreasen.”So we put combo units together and have substantially enhanced units – we’re excited to bring it the market.” Prodigy is available in one-bedroom to four-bedroom configurations, ranging from 556 to 1,482 square feet. Homeowners at Prodigy will also have access to the i.D. By Me program, which allows personalized upgrades that suit each individual’s lifestyle and personality. Options include choosing color scheme and flooring or upgrading appliances. Prodigy is designed with simplicity in mind to create an environment that emulates the true west coast lifestyle– one that encourages relaxation. “Every aspect is designed and built to the highest standard in terms of quality and sustainability,” says Andreasen. “It’s always a big moment to actually be able to move into the building. The grand opening of on-site displays and the public release of the second building takes place Feb. 28, with private previews available the week in advance for VIP customers, friends and family. Prodigy’s new Sales Centre is open this week, at 118 – 6033 Gray Avenue, Vancouver. For more information, visit www.adera.com, email prodigy@adera.com, call 604-221-8878.

Chef launches new Langley lunchroom GARY AHUJA Tim es Reporter

Sean Bone has opened up Osso Lunchroom in Langley. The menu features items made from scratch and draws upon Bone’s vast restaurant and cooking experience.

From the first time Sean Bone worked in a restaurant, it just felt right. It was nearly 20 years ago and Bone had just recently finished high school when he moved to downtown Vancouver. Until then, restaurants hadn’t crossed his mind, but unemployed and with bills to pay, he ran into a friend in Vancouver who got him a job as a busboy. “That was my introduction to the restaurant world and it just felt right,” Bone said. “It felt like some part of me was intuitive to every part of the dining room.” It prompted Bone to learn the other parts of the service industry, going to expediting — the person who co-ordinates the food between the kitchen and the service staff — and then finally into the kitchen itself. With his family’s history of working in the trades, Bone decided his trade would be as a chef. Thus began his odyssey around some of the most notable restaurants in Vancouver,

Furthermore, dental x-rays taken by your dentist are restricted to the area they are being used. Because of filters and the focus of the x-ray beam, the radiation is confined to the teeth that are being examined. Therefore, there should be no worries about the x-rays affecting other areas of your body. In fact, the use of lead aprons is no longer necessary to cover the remainder of the body. It has been found that there is little to no measurable difference in radiation when wearing a lead apron compared to not wearing one. Nowadays, more and more dentists are using digital dental x-rays instead of the standard film x-rays. This also is leading to a decrease in the amount of radiation a patients experiences in the dentist’s chair. Some digital manufacturers recommend using 20% of the dose used for film x-rays. So if your dentist is using digital x-rays, then you are also receiving less dose of x-rays than you have in the past. Now just because dental x-rays are safe does not mean that your dentist should take x-rays whenever they feel like it. Even though the radiation from dental x-rays is minimal, the amount of radiation a person is exposed to should always be minimized.

Q: My sons hockey team is planning a bottle drive do you have some helpful hints.

A: Register with Langley Bottle Depot and we will provide your supplies. Have extra cardboard boxes for loose beer, wine and spirit bottles. Plastic bags do not work well for glass wine and spirit bottles. DO NOT mix alcoholic and non-alcoholic Hanif Devji Recycling Expert beverage containers. Focus on 6 main sorts; Pop cans, beer cans, plastic over 1L, plastic up to 1L, beer bottles, wine and spirit bottles (Plastic and glass wine and spirit bottles can be packed together just separated by size). These 6 sorts will represent +95% of what you will collect. Of the balance (juice boxes, gable top, pouches, bag-in-box and tin cans), combine in 1 bag. For non-alcoholic glass drink bottles; IF you have a recycling Blue Box, when it is full to the top edge of the bin, 9 times out of 10 there will be 50 bottles in it. The same with pop cans, beer cans, and large plastic bottles. When our bags are full to the line, and just bulging above the line when tied off, they will be within 2% of the correct count. Plastic up to 1L is actually very difficult to tie off with 150 bottles in it, so make sure they are bulging full. You don’t have to count every container if you follow this guideline. The most common mistake is mixing beer and pop cans. Remember that beer cans are worth more than pop cans. Please keep them separate. Contact Langley Bottle Depot if you have any more questions.

dental x-rays and their effects on patients. So are dental x-rays taken by your dentist safe? Simply put, the answer is: yes they are. Out of the different types of x-rays used in medicine, dental x-rays have the lowest radiation dose of them all. To give you an example of how low this dose is, they can be compared to the amount of radiation a person receives from background radiation (radiation from air, water, food, soil, space, etc). The average person is exposed to approximately 3,600 microsieverts Dr. Athar Butt BSc, DDS of radiation in a year from background radiation. Typically, on a Dentist routine examination, your dentist will take 2-4 bitewing x-rays to look for cavities between your teeth, if needed. These x-rays emit 2-3 microsieverts of radiation. That works out to almost 0.08% of radiation from dental x-rays when compared to radiation from the environment.

Spartans Grant defies the odds GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Danny Grant is not deterred easily, and that is probably a good thing. Six years ago, Grant was participating in a Trinity Western Spartans adult summer volleyball camp. The camp is for recreational players or those looking to learn the sport. “I was the worst player at that camp,” Grant freely admits. “I looked like I should be good at the sport; I had the height, but I was getting blocked by 40-year-old women and stuff like that.” Grant was an 18-year-old, getting ready to embark on his collegiate career with Abbotsford’s Columbia Bible College Bearcats. And while he stood six-foot-nine and looked the part of a volleyball player, that was not entirely the case. While most players his age had years of club and school volleyball under their belts, Grant was raw. His school in northern B.C., Chetwynd Secondary, didn’t have a coach so his high school experience consisted of his Grade 12 year and the team playing in just the zone championships. But it was there that Grant caught the eye of a club coach in Prince George, and after training with that team, he met a coach from CBC, paving his way to a move to the Fraser Valley. But despite his lack of pedigree in the sport, Grant aspired to play for Trinity Western, one of the premier programs in the country. Attending the adult camp was Grant’s way of hopefully meeting someone from the program, as well as brush up on some of his own skills before attending a tryout for the CBC squad. “He was awful, to be honest,” said Spartans men’s volleyball coach Ben Josephson. “He was getting owned by middle-aged women.” “He could jump and he was super enthusiastic, but he had no idea how to do anything,” Josephson added. “That was the last we thought we’d see of him.” Grant went on to make the Bearcats team, and after playing sparingly in his first season, he was starting as a sophomore and helped the team win the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association national

championship. After one more season at CBC — where he led the PacWest conference in blocks — Grant fulfilled his goal of joining the Spartans. Grant, who plays middle, red-shirted his first season, meaning he could practice and work out with the team, but could not play. He played last season and this year, has taken his game to a whole new level. The 23-year-old — who is set to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business administration — tied the Canada West conference record for blocks in a season with 136. He also led the entire country with 1.46 blocks per set. “It is an incredible story,” Josephson said. “He is six-foot-10, which helps, but he has the most incredible work ethic … and is a sponge for knowledge. Every time we have a meeting, he always lingers after because he wants to ask questions and make sure he fully understands every little detail. “That kind of attention to detail and work ethic, combined with his freaky physical talents, have produced the nation’s top blocker.” Grant is just enjoying himself as his university career winds down. The Spartans are in Edmonton this weekend at the Canada West Final Four championships, needing a top two finish to advance to the CIS national championships. “This is total bliss,” he said about making it this far. “It has been incredible because for me it has been six years of wanting to play on Trinity and finally getting the chance when I didn’t know if I would. I could very well have played out all my years and never gotten to start.” Josephson said great teams need players like Grant. “All great teams have a few players like Danny on them,” the coach explained, using the New England Patriots and Julian Edelman and the Seattle Seahawks’ Richard Sherman as examples. “Teams become really special when guys like Danny Grant emerge, almost out of nowhere and it just provides so much character to your group because they have earned everything they have got. “They weren’t the big studs, they weren’t the alpha ones, they cher-

Trinity Western Spartans Danny Grant wasn’t even a late bloomer in his sport, he was a late starter. Grant took up the sport when he was 18 and six years later, led the country in blocks per set while establishing a Canada West record for blocks in a single season. ish what they have got.” The game has taught Grant so much. “A lot of the reasons I have been successful is because I have had a lot of good coaches, good teammates to help me out,” he said. “Having good people around you is a key to success.” And it hasn’t always been easy along the way, either, as Grant admitted he had doubts in his first year at Trinity Western. It was hard not being able to go on the road with his teammates and it was also difficult not seeing

improvement or results in his own game. “I wasn’t really seeing myself get better or anything like that, it was definitely very discouraging,” he admitted, sometimes wondering if he had chosen the right path. But a combination of friends, family and faith got him through the hard times. And with his university eligibility up at the end of the season, the next choice Grant will make is whether to put his degree to use in the business world or attempt to play professionally overseas.

TWU volleyball teams qualify for Final Four Both the Trinity Western Spartans men’s and women’s volleyball teams are on the cusp of qualifying for the CIS national championships. The women need just one victory this weekend at the Canada West Final Four championships while the men’s team needs a top-two finish at their Canada West Final Four event. Both championships are being held in Edmonton by the University of Alberta. The Spartans women’s team qualified for the final four after defeating the Brandon Bobcats 3-0 and 3-1 last week at the Langley Events Centre. In Friday’s match, the teams traded the first two sets with TWU winning 25-23 and Brandon prevailing 2516. But sets three and four were decisive victories for the Spartans, as they won 25-18 and 25-15. Sophie Carpentier led the team with 14 kills, two aces, seven digs and two blocks while Alicia Perrin had 11 kills, six digs, six blocks and an ace. In the opener, TWU won in straight sets, 25-18, 25-14 and 25-19. The team faces the UBC Okanagan Heat in one Canada West semifinal while the Alberta Pandas play the UBC Thunderbird in the other. The top three teams qualify for nationals. Continued Page 35

Knights aim to corral Outlaws in semifinals GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

The season series may indicate that the Langley Knights should be heavy favourites, but head coach John Craighead knows his opponent is playing some of their best hockey in the season’s second half. The Knights won five of six games against the Mission City Outlaws. “They have come together of late,” Craighead warned about his team’s upcoming playoff opponent in the junior B PJHL’s Harold Brittain Division best-of-seven semifinals series. “They are healthy and firing on all cylinders. Their top guys are scoring and their grinders are grinding.” The Knights (23-19-1-1, 48 points) are the second seed, three points better than the Outlaws (21-20-1-2, 45 points). Both teams enter the post-season 5-5 in their past 10 games, but Langley is going to have to make sure they take advantage of homeice advantage at the George Pres-

ton Recreation Centre as the Outlaws have won their past 10 home games at the Mission Leisure Centre. The Outlaws struggled for much of the first half the season, including going 2-9-1 on home ice. The team is led by Bryce Pisiak, who scored 43 goals to lead the entire PJHL. He was second in points with 64. He was just one of two Outlaws players to score 19 goals or more. By comparison, the Knights have six players with at least 17 goals and three with 20 or more. Levi De Waal led the team in points with 61, including 20 goals. The team’s leading goal scorer was Carson Rose, who potted 35 goals and finished with 60 points. Colin Catchpole (23 goals), Dylan McCann (19 goals), Jackson Surbey (18 goals) and Tristan Craighead (17 goals) round out a balanced Knights squad which was second in the league with 4.4 goals per game.

“One of our strengths is that we have four lines we have rolled all season and we had big goals from all four,” Craighead said. The Knights also play a more wide-open style with chances for both teams, and that also leaves them with the second-highest goals against average at 4.32 goals per game. The Outlaws are fourth in goals for (3.93) and also have the fourth-lowest goals against (3.64). Like many playoff series, special teams will be a factor and both teams have top-four power plays — Mission City is second at 22.55 per cent and Langley is fourth at 21.18 per cent — and two of the lower-ranked penalty kills, with the Outlaws killing off 80.08 per cent of their short-handed situations and the Knights at 78.71 per cent. However, the Knights are the league’s most dangerous team when it comes to scoring short-handed as they have popped in a dozen goals while a man down. Carson Rose has six of those him-

self, while no other team has more than four short-handed goals. “We play a very aggressive type of specialty teams,” Craighead said, explaining that at the junior B level, power plays can be a bit sloppy so he wants his team to focus on pressuring the puck instead of just trying to prevent a goal. And if the Knights PK can turn the puck over, they have the green light to go on the attack. “We have some guys that can skate and thrive on that.” The series got underway on Tuesday night with Langley winning 3-1 on the road in Mission. Nickolas Trenciansky made 44 saves as the Knights were outshot 45-38. Games two and three are tonight (Thursday) and Friday at the George Preston Recreation Centre while game four will be back in Mission on Saturday. If necessary, game five would be in Langley on Feb. 23, games six in Mission on Feb. 24 and a seventh and deciding game would be back

in Langley on Feb. 26. The other Harold Brittain semifinal series pits top-seed Aldergrove Kodiaks against the Abbotsford Pilots. Abbotsford won game one 4-3. The Kodiaks led the division at 22-14-2-6 record for 52 points while the Pilots were fourth at 21-21-0-2 and 44 points. ••• In BCHL junior A hockey, the Langley Rivermen find themselves in a February funk with just one win in six games this month. The Rivermen lost all three games last week, falling 7-3 to the Prince George Spruce Kings and then 5-3 and 7-2 in a home-andhome series with the Coquitlam Express. The results leave the team with a record of 27-21-1-4 and 59 points, good for second in the Mainland Division. Langley is two points up on Prince George with five games left. Langley hosts the Spruce Kings tonight (Thursday) at the Langley Events Centre.

Back-to-back victories for Stealth GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

Blanked in the opening quarter and down a pair of goals, the Vancouver Stealth didn’t panic. The team scored six of the next eight goals and never looked back, defeating the Calgary Roughnecks 13-9 in National Lacrosse League action at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night. Vancouver improved to 3-3 while Calgary fell to 0-6. “You are frustrated, but it is important not to let the frustration affect you in a negative way,” said the Stealth’s Rhys Duch, the game’s first star with four goals and two assists. “We were getting chances, but Frankie (Scigliano) was having a heck of a quarter. It was just a matter of burying your shots and sticking with the process and trusting they are going to go in eventually.” Trailing 3-1, Tyler Garrison and Cliff Smith scored 18 seconds apart. And Duch and Tyler Digby then added power-play goals 19 seconds apart, giving the Stealth four goals in an 83-second span. Vancouver never trailed again as they took a 6-4 lead into the locker room at the half. Calgary would twice pull to within a goal of the Stealth in the second half, but

Vancouver Stealth’s Joel McCready sets up to the side of the Calgary Roughnecks goal during National Lacrosse League action at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday. McCready scored once in his team’s 13-9 victory. The win improved the Stealth to 3-3 while Calgary fell to 0-6.

could never get on equal footing. Stealth coach Dan Perreault was pleased his team matched Calgary’s intensity and stuck with their own game plan, despite falling behind. “Our defence and our goaltending did very well tonight,” Perreault said. “That is a tough team to hold to single digits.” Perreault said he can see the confidence building in his team, which is one win away from matching last season’s total of four. “It is nice when they work hard and they are rewarded,” he said. “It is a fairly new group this year, so when they win, they believe in each other, believe in the system.” Duch said it is nice to reward the home fans with some victories, especially after a tough 2014. “They are sticking with us,” he said. “It was a frustrating season last year, for us and for them, and we are showing the fans that we are a better team.” Digby (two goals, three assist), Corey Small (one goal, four assists) and Johnny Powless (four assists) also had big games for the Stealth. The teams complete their home-andhome series on Saturday in Calgary.

The view from Poplar Grove over Okanagan Lake is spectacular as is the Syrah, which, like the best of the winery’s reds, benefits from the extra aging afforded by cellaring it for a couple of years longer than the norm. A three-kilometre side trip to Red Rooster netted a Reserve Syrah, which exuded yummy plum and cherry from its neck, once opened! One more stop before a relaxing evening spent staring over the lake while sipping on a suite balcony at the Summerland Waterfront Resort. The snowy and very icy single track to the new Sage Hills Vineyard in Summerland required careful navigation. The reward was a barrel tasting with winemaker Andrea Lee and vineyard manager Keenan Thrussell. The new vintage had yet to be bottled but a rosé version hit the spot later! Time to return to the coast via Sandhill Wines in Kelowna. Howard Soon, a B.C. born industry pioneer, makes Syrah from vineyards in the south of the valley and a special ‘small lots’ version from a

single vineyard. By the time the rear two rows were lowered to accommodate the purchased cases of wine, the seven-seat MDX was strictly a two-seater. Despite its load, it leapt up to the Pennask Summit on the Okanagan Connector as fast the outside temperature dropped to minus five. The Coquihalla Highway was bathed in sunlight and the descent to Hope was smooth and quiet but for the rattle from the bottles. Bring on the Aussies!

Learning with the right tools Mecaglisse, Que. – Whatever your craft or hobby of choice is, having the right tools to execute your activities is paramount. As an avid scrapbooker, I couldn’t imagine my life without a sharp pair of scissors, photos, flashy paper and double-sided tape. If you’re a runner, proper footwear mitigates injuries and minimizes blisters. For someone learning to be a better winter driver, having appropriate tires, a mechanically sound vehicle and the right teachers will certainly increase confidence in slippery situations. Enter Porsche’s Camp4: a winter driving program available to everyone. It’s an event I’ve attended before and learned a lot from. But what’s it like for by Alexandra Straub someone who’s already considered a professional driver? – BC resident Scott Hargrove is well versed in racing. He joined our group of international journalists on the program. At 20 years old, he’s the current GT3 Porsche Cup Challenge champion in Canada. He also took home second place in the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires. That was just his 2014 race year. His résumé is impressive and he knows a thing or two about car control. Then again, we can all learn something new, no matter how good we are. “Driving on snow and ice is extremely different to any situation I have been in before,” remarks Scott. “The technique is completely different compared to racing on pavement, where the fastest way around the track is the smoothest. On snow and ice, it’s all about pitching the car

THE CRITICS HAVE SPOKEN. AND SO HAVE BC’s DRIVERS. It’s been another great year for Honda vehicles. The critics keep recognizing our value and quality with automotive awards.

Gold Key Langley Volkswagen makes history.

continued from page 41

When a Volkswagen dealership makes it into the prestigious Wolfsburg Crest Club, it’s because they’ve met the highest Volkswagen standards in service and sales. Those of you who have driven one of our vehicles know what kind of standards we’re talking about.

this kind of training is both good for him and every other driver out there. “Camp 4 will teach you more about car control over any other form of high performance driving school,” Scott says. “Being in a low traction environment allows you to slide a car at slow speeds. Drivers can then get a feel for what is like to slide a car, react appropriately and recover. This experience will translate directly to the street and help any driver in an emergency situation.” Learning to be a better driver and having a lot of fun doing it? Yes, I’m ready for that. So is Scott. “I would go back in a heartbeat,” he adds. “Who wouldn’t love to drive a whole range of Porsches in the snow? It’s an experience you don’t get to have very often and one you definitely don’t want to miss out on!” Visit http:www.porsche.com/canada-pde/en/ yourcamp4/ for more information on Porsche’s Camp4. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Such an accomplishment doesn’t just happen by chance. Every day, the team at Gold Key Langley Volkswagen makes every effort to provide nothing but the best for their customers. Membership in the Wolfsburg Crest Club is fitting recognition of their remarkable work. And you’ll no doubt agree if you come in for a visit. Because they meet more than the highest Volkswagen standards – they meet yours.

sideways and using the throttle to execute the turn. So despite my extensive racing background, this was a whole new experience for me with a whole new learning curve.” Each Porsche at Camp4, whether it be a Cayman, Carrera, rear or all-wheel drive, were equipped with Nokian 1.5mm studded tires. Yes, we needed grip but we also wanted to slide these amazing machines sideways! As the group is having the time of our lives, the purpose of the activities is to connect with the car and feel how the ice track beneath us is ever changing. Each lap brings new challenges – sometimes it got so slippery our only option was to spin out – or as the instructors would say, “we’d run out of talent!” The unnerving feeling – exhilarating in most cases – of pitching a car into a corner and holding the slide leaves you with a real sense of accomplishment. Or left me wanting to become a rally driver. Underneath the smiling faces is a much more satisfying feeling; the feeling of being more confident in yourself and your abilities to adapt to different environments. As Scott and I are chatting, I ask why he thinks

Mercedes gets a grip with Winterland

S S A PWINTER to

fect for winter driving but not for standing outside. Looks

Winter weather can stretch from November until April, which is why this frost bitten part of the country mandates winter tires on all vehicles and was the perfect spot to showcase two products from Mercedes Benz, the B-Class and CLA-Class.

The CLA on the other hand is more about style, competing for the young, upwardly mobile crowd that want to be seen in this sleek, low slung sedan, it isn’t the best choice for a family.

side of Montreal near the ski resort of Bromont that the 4Matic system proved useful. The system is designed to provide power to the front wheels as often as possible and instantly transfer power to the rear wheels when extra grip is needed, it all happens in a nanosecond. The maximum amount of power sent to the rear wheels if fifty percent. I noticed that these cars, when placed in “sport” mode actually allow the car to slip and slide without the electronics being too oppressive. An overly aggressive nanny style is often used by other manufacturers and it shuts down any type of sliding, something that can be welcome by advanced drivers. Altogether, both cars feel very well balanced, almost like a rear-wheel-drive car when a controlled slide is achieved.

Inside Both the B-Class and CLA receive nice updates for 2015 on the inside. Both share the same dash so updating both made sense. The screen that sits front and centre on the dash, like and iPad is larger, moving to a standard 7-inch screen or optional 8-inch screen on cars equipped with navigation. This screen is controlled with a small knob between the front seats. Other updates include a sportier and very comfortable steering wheel, a revised stereo head unit and a new instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. Heated seats are now standard equipment for 2015 but heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel are not available in these cars. The B-Class 4Matic is a $2,200 premium over the FWD version, starting at $33,500. The CLA has the same $2,200 charge for AWD, starting at $36,800. One nice feature available on the CLA is an “exclusive” package that includes a leather dashboard with French stitching for $2,300.

Verdict Mercedes has had enormous success with its 4Matic AWD system, accounting for eighty five percent of its sales. With the introduction of these two new models in late 2014, the number has jumped to over ninety percent. This opens up the safety and stability of AWD to a larger market. One thing to keep in mind is these two products offer great value if the buyer keeps and eye on the options. The “must have” package include the Premium Package for an additional $3800 on both the B-Class and CLA. This includes automatic climate control, a huge panoramic sunroof, rear view camera, blind spot system and navigation. This brings the 4Matic price on the B-Class to $37,300 and $40,600 on the CLA. Not overly expensive for a Mercedes Benz product but pricier than the starting price suggests. Should you consider the 4Matic version of the B-Class and CLA? Absolutely, based on the added level of security, grip and improved resale value.

Drive To explore the abilities of these two new products, the Olympic rowing basin used for the 1976 Montreal games was partially plowed, exposing sheet ice with a fresh sprinkling of snow. This provided a great example of the limits of grip and the abilities of the electronic stability program, in conjunction with the AWD system. On sheet ice, there is no grip, so sliding is easy. It was on the rural roads out-

THOMPSON, Gordon 1941 - 2015

Gordon Wallace Thompson of Langley, formerly of Tsawwassen, B.C., passed away on February 15, 2015 at the age of 74, following a brief battle with cancer. As a young man, Gordon graduated from Lord Byng Secondary School in 1958, worked for his father in his welding business and later began his long standing career with Cominco Inc. Gordon married Donna Adrienne Stevens in 1962 in Vancouver. They moved to Richmond B.C. in 1964 and remained there until their move to Tsawwassen in 1990. In 2014, Gordon and Donna moved to Avalon Gardens in Langley B.C. to be closer to family. Gordon served as a volunteer throughout his life, beginning as a Scout leader, starting the 9th Richmond Cub pack, in the 1970’s and in the 90’s with the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen. Gordon was an avid rugby player and skier in his youth. He shared his love of skiing with his children and together as a family they enjoyed many family ski trips throughout the Pacific Northwest. Gordon is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Donna, his son Steve, daughter-in-law Jane, his daughter Lynette Finstad, son-in-law Lee, grandchildren, Graeme Thompson, Bradley Thompson, Taylor Kleinknecht (Darcy), and Casey Finstad. Also surviving Gordon is his sister Patricia Cook (David) of Comox, nieces Barbara and Deborah, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Lynne and Ian Davis, niece Leanne Williams (Scott) and nephew Aaron Davis (Kathy). Gordon was predeceased by his parents, Thelma and Clifford Thompson and In-laws, Evelyn and Rick Stevens. A special thank you to the staff of Avalon Gardens, Murrayville Pharmasave, Langley Memorial Hospital, and in particular, Dr. M. Fagan, Dr. Wong, the Emergency Room department of LMH, and the staff of 4 South. You were all instrumental in providing compassionate end of life care to Gordon.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen, Charitable Society, P.O. Box 1405, Delta B.C. V4M 3Y8, would be appreciated.

BECH, Mildred July 30, 1924 - Feb. 3, 2015 Mildred (Mimi) Bech – dancing queen, consummate knitter, fisherman’s friend – has crossed the river to join her husband Jens Peter Bech. Mimi’s loves included ballroom dancing with friends, coffee at Willowbrook Mall, a lively trout on the line, a tidy house, cruising, family gatherings, and camping trips throughout Canada. She took great pride in her family’s achievements, and especially the achievements of her grandchildren. Mimi was born in Denmark in 1924. She immigrated to Canada with Jens and their two sons in 1958. Mimi left this world at five to midnight on Feb. 3, surrounded by her family and saving the last dance for Peter. Mimi is survived by her sons Poul (Ninglan) and Soren (Joan); grandsons Mikel (Natalia) and Dana (Nicole); her twin sister Lilly Kanstrup; and nieces and nephews. Family and friends will gather to honour Mimi’s memory in early March. Please call 604 886-3082 or e-mail soren.bech@shaw.ca for details.
