Mayors take ‘Yes’ campaign to Carvolth exchange

Driver leads police on wild chase through Surrey

MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Langley’s mayors hit the streets early Tuesday morning to promote voting ‘yes’ in the transit tax referendum.

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese and Langley City Mayor Ted Schaffer spent the morning handing out ‘vote yes’ brochures to transit users and talking to them about the referendum at the Carvolth bus exchange.

“We’ve spoken to lots of people, some firmly on the ‘no’ side, but everyone had good questions and were willing to hear why the ‘yes’ side is the way to vote,” said Froese.

A Township resident came up to Froese to tell him he listened in on Monday night’s telephone town hall meeting (see separate story, page 3) but didn’t get to ask his question.

“I want to know how much the Township has spent promoting the yes side,” the man asked.

Froese reassured him that no tax dollars in Langley have been spent promoting any side. This is in sharp contrast to Vancouver and Surrey, where millions of dollars are being spent.

Fraser Health Authority medical health officer Michelle Murti was also there promoting the yes side.

She said she believes in the health benefits of taking transit compared to driving.

“Transit users are 22 per cent less likely to be obese,” said Murti.

Ballots are being mailed out this week and have to be returned by May 29.

Police seeking suspected arsonist MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Langley RCMP are currently searching for a suspect who was seen lighting a Brookswood house on fire Tuesday night.

Fortunately no one was injured in the blaze, set in the 4400 block of 208A Street. Langley Township Fire Department and RCMP investigators have determined through witness accounts that the fire was deliberately set.

Police and Township fire were called just prior to 11 p.m. when the Brookswood home was reported to be in flames.

Officers have learned of a domestic dispute between the home’s father and son which began earlier in the afternoon, and was renewed later that evening. The father had retired to bed for the night, and the basement tenant was not home at the time.

A passerby witnessed the arsonist as he was lighting the fire and made attempts to thwart his efforts, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

However, the fire had already started. At this point, only a minimal description of the suspect is available — the male was wearing a red top and blue jeans. Police are still looking for the 35-yearold son who is a person of interest in this investigation and was not in the home during the fire.

If you have any information, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

C URT IS KR E KLA U Spe c ial to The Time s

Fire broke out at a home in the 4400 block of 208A Street late Tuesday night, just before 11 p.m. Fire crews were called, but the home suffered significant damage. There were no injuries. Fire crews managed to prevent it from spreading to a nearby home.

Transit service focus of telephone town hall FEW IMPROVEMENTS COMING FOR RURAL AREAS, LANGLEY TOWNSHIP MAYOR ADMITS FRAN K B U CH O LT Z Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Questions raised at the ninth telephone town hall on the proposed transportation and transit tax centred around the poor levels of transit service in Langley, and what will be done to improve it.

While questioners did not give Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese a tough time, many of his answers left them disappointed.

Froese and Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association CEO Elizabeth Model fielded questions during the onehour meeting Monday, moderated by former radio hot-liner Bill Good.

The mayor stated that Langley’s population will double in the next 30 years and “more and better transit” is needed. He said the Mayors’ Council plan will bring light rapid transit to Langley City in 12 years, and also bring in rapid buses and better roads.

He said rapid bus service will be instituted along Fraser Highway and 200 Street,

with three-minute frequency on Fraser Highway and five-minute frequency on 200 Street.

Questioners wanted more specifics. Lorraine said “where I live, the bus runs once an hour and takes a tour all around Langley for half an hour just to get somewhere.”

Froese acknowledged that bus service along Fraser Highway to Aldergrove is infrequent, and that service to rural areas of Langley Township, which has 75 per cent of its land in the Agricultural Land Reserve, is non-existent. That won’t change under the plan, he said.

In response to a question from Ryan about bus service to Gloucester industrial park, he said there were no plans to institute any bus service there, despite the fact that thousands of people work there.

“Why should I vote ‘yes’ to a tax increase that will never benefit me?” Ryan said.

Froese said that the Township will get a significant amount of money from the plan to improve 16 Avenue and Fraser Highway, including 50 per cent of the cost

to widen Fraser Highway to four lanes — a project that remains to be done between 232 Street and Aldergrove.

Johanna said she lives in a rural area of Langley, and must walk 45 minutes to Fraser Highway and 232 Street to get a bus. She noted there are no streetlights, no sidewalks and wildlife on the road at night.

“Bus service isn’t as good as we would like to see,” Froese admitted. “The plan focuses on more densely-populated areas.

Rural areas will not get improvements.”

Lynn said that she supports the mayors’ plan and is voting ‘yes,’ but would like to see more detailed work done on road pricing. Froese said the mayors will be looking into it, and if it is established, the gas tax would likely be lowered.

Froese was asked how much the ‘yes’ campaign is spending and where the money is coming from. He said it is spending about $6 million, from TransLink and “taxation sources.” Model said organizations such as hers are volunteering their time to get the ‘yes’ message out.

Asked about bus service along 208 Street in Willoughby, Froese said a bus route on that densely-populated street is part of the mayors’ plan.

Bruce asked where the estimate of one million people in the next 30 years came from, saying “one million more people will create total chaos.” He said the province is not planning expansions to schools and hospitals to meet the demand from so many additional people.

Froese said the number came from Metro Vancouver’s regional growth strategy, and while it is an estimate, “it is based on very solid facts.

“If we are not planning today and putting infrastructure in place, we will be in dire straits 30 years from now.”

Paul said he supports the sales tax increase.

“Take a ride on transit and look at the people riding it. They will be paying for pensions for people like me for years to come. A half per cent does not break anyone’s bank.”

How is your resolution to quit smoking going? If you’re having trouble, you may be interested in new research showing a form of aversion therapy that may make its way into the arsenal. While smokers were sleeping, they were exposed to the smell of cigarettes along with a profoundly unpleasant odour, such as rotten eggs or rotten fish, during stage 2 sleep. After just one treatment, smoking was reduced for days! This definitely merits further investigation.

Smoking rates among those with mental illnesses tend to be much higher than those of the general population. However, these patients can be the most resistant to quitting and treatment options may be limited by their condition and/or other medications.

Now, a study of varenicline (Champix©) on an ongoing basis as maintenance is showing some promise. The study was small and it’s still controversial, but maybe the beginning of some hope?

Smoking while pregnant is almost universally frowned on these days, and now second-hand smoke is proving to be almost as bad. An American multi-centre

study has found that exposure to second-hand smoke during pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage rate of more than 32 per cent and more than four per cent rate of stillbirth. BOB SANGHA Ectopic pregnancies were Pharmacist, BSc also more likely, especially in women who had previously smoked.

Marijuana research is attracting more attention these days, what with all the regulatory changes. Health benefit claims are being explored – as are the side effects. A small California study has found that the second-hand smoke from smoking pot is just as harmful as that of tobacco.

Researchers found that smoke damages the blood vessels and heart, regardless of the source, be it cigarettes, cigars, marijuana, hookah – or even wood fires.

Some lifestyle choices are not only damaging to ourselves, but we may inadvertently harm those around us, those we care about. All the more reason to make good changes – our pharmacists are there to help along the way.

Langley man injured in West Vancouver hockey-fan fracas

Serving Langley & Cloverdale

w w w. s u r l a n g p h a r m a c y. c o m

A 67-year-old Langley man reported minor bruising and soreness after a scuffle in the stands during a minor hockey game in West Vancouver on March 9.

It happened while a Semiahmoo Minor Hockey team and one from Hollyburn Country Club were playing.

According to West Vancouver Police, an argument arose between two men in the viewing area of the arena.

One man allegedly grabbed the other, and other spectators then stepped in to help break up the situation.

No serious injuries were reported, according to West Vancouver Police Const. Jeff Palmer.

Police say they will recommend a charge of assault against a 45-year-old West Vancouver man.

The accused was arrested and released on a promise to appear at North Vancouver Provincial Court on May 6.

There were reports over the weekend that the altercation started when a Semiahmoo player was spit upon by someone in the stands, but neither Palmer nor Semiahmoo Minor Hockey Association president Ian Maguire would speculate on what may have sparked the melee.

“For us, the focus is just on the altercation between the two men,” Palmer said.

Maguire — who was not in attendance at the game, played by 13- and 14-year-olds — said his association, as well as executive members from Hollyburn, were working with BC Hockey and the police to get to the bottom of the situation.

“We’re digging into it now, and from what I hear, Semiahmoo parents were fairly well-behaved in all this,” he told Black Press, adding that the game was apparently an “animated” one that included the ejection of at least one player.

“But if it turns out that there is something one of our parents did that is unacceptable, it will be dealt with and dealt with swiftly.”

Regardless of what sparked the confrontation, Palmer said it’s an important reminder for fans to keep their cool during games.

“In a general sense, we would recommend — and I think 99 per cent of people would agree — that people bear in mind that it’s just a game,” he said. “Cheer on your own family members, and your team, but don’t let it escalate to the point (where assault charges) are involved.”

Earlier this year, hockey associations on Vancouver Is-

land discussed the idea of parent-less games, so poor was some behaviour from fans.

Maguire said he supports the idea, and is also a proponent of putting small GoPro cameras on the helmets of referees, to see and hear what they deal with from parents, coaches and players alike.

“We might try that a few times next year,” he said.

Semiahmoo has always been one of the more pro-active associations when it comes to a code of conduct, Maguire added.

For example, Maguire said all parents of Hockey 4-division players are required to complete a Respect in Sports course — something only a few associations require.

“We have a responsibility to build a positive hockey experience for players aged five to 18, and we do as much as we can as an association to make sure that happens,” he said.

“But overall, I don’t know that (behaviour) is getting better.

It’s actually probably worse.

There’s not a week that goes by where an incident like (Friday’s) doesn’t happen at a rink somewhere in Canada. Overly passionate parents, grandparents and other fans are driving the sport to a place it shouldn’t go.

“Sometimes parents don’t behave the way that they should.”

Trustees upset about cuts to administration MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The Ministry of Education has sent a message to every school board in the province to make cuts this year in administrative costs. But some Langley trustees warn those cuts will be felt in the classroom.

School boards have been told to find $29 million in savings through cutting administration costs.

Langley School District spends about three per cent of its $186 million budget on administration, that includes principals and vice principals.

“The district will have to submit a savings plan to the ministry,” said secretary-treasurer David Green at the last board meeting (March 10). “We may need to find $1 million in savings per year.”

The district has had to add administration staff, such as maintenance and district level staff, because they have opened three new schools.

Trustee Megan Dykeman was livid about the cuts and vocalized her disapproval, urging taxpayers to remember this come election time.

“We need to get real with the ministry at some point,” said DykeDAV I D T O D man.

“We can’t cut and (have) it not affect students. We have built new schools — we have to staff them. This is a shell game and it’s ludicrous. We already have students bringing their own paper. Maybe we should ask them to start bringing their own toilet paper to school too.”

Trustee David Tod also shared his concern that the cuts will be felt in the classroom and in programming.

“Come April 1, MSP and utilities are going up.

I’m not sure how we can find savings. We won’t be able to insulate the students in our care. We are cutting to the bone,” said Tod. Trustee Rod Ross then asked if increasing international student fees would help with savings.

Last year, Langley increased the fees by $500 per student. The district relies heavily on the revenue from international students.

Langley is in a better position than many other districts, as it is facing a $1.9 million deficit.

Fentanyl death toll high in Langley J EFF NAGEL Black Press

Langley saw more overdose deaths tied to the drug fentanyl in 2014 than big cities like Surrey. In fact, 18 Langley residents died because of overdosing on a drug laced with fentanyl, compared to 15 in Surrey.

A spike in fentanyl drug overdose deaths in both Vancouver and the Fraser Health region has prompted a warning from police and public health officials.

Police say the synthetic narcotic is increasingly being sold to drug users in B.C., either on its own or often laced with other drugs — even marijuana.

There were 29 overdose deaths tied to fentanyl in Vancouver in 2014, followed by 18 in Langley and 15 in Surrey, according to deputy chief coroner Vince Stancato of the B.C. Coroners Service.

He said fentanyl deaths also occurred

last year in Maple Ridge, Nanaimo, Prince George and Fort St. John.

Many victims are described as recreational users who snorted, smoked or took pills they thought were another drug — such as cocaine, heroin or oxycodone — without realizing it contained fentanyl, which officials say is 50 to 100 times more toxic and can kill in small doses.

Fentanyl was present in just five per cent of drug overdose deaths in 2012, but that soared to 25 per cent of the 336 overdose deaths in B.C. last year, according to the coroners’ service.

Most victims were not injection drug users.

“It’s very concerning,” said Dr. Marcus Lem, a medical health officer for Fraser Health. “These are folks that often may not appear to anybody else to have an issue.”

Lem said many overdoses happen

in private homes and the number of deaths in communities like Langley and Maple Ridge show the problem is not just limited to urban areas where drug use is most visible.

“Everybody in the public seems to think the only people using drugs are in the Downtown Eastside. That’s just not true.”

While fentanyl patches are sometimes stolen from pharmacies or prescribed and then resold on the street, VPD and RCMP officials said they believe much of the fentanyl now showing up is illegally manufactured and arriving in powder, liquid or pill form.

Particularly at risk, they said, are recreational drug users.

“We’re finding fentanyl is cut into just about any other drug you can buy on the street,” said Sandra Glendinning of the Vancouver Police Department. “Heroin, marijuana, cocaine, oxycodone.”

Well-known businessman, volunteer passes away

Does Your Yoga Suffer from Slippage?

Then you need THE HOGATM MAT SYSTEM

DALE BALL WAS NAMED 2002 H.D. STAFFORD GOOD CITIZEN OF YEAR, 2006 LANGLEY BUSINESSMAN OF YEAR Well-known Brookswood businessman and active community volunteer Dale Ball passed away on Wednesday, March 11, after a short illness.

He was the owner of Brookswood Mobile Homes and active in Rotary and many other service organizations.

He has also been involved in many other community activities over the years, ranging from business groups to youth activities.

He was president of Langley Chamber of Commerce in 1993 and 1994, and was named H.D. Stafford Good Citizen of the Year in 2002. He was also named business person of the year at the chamber’s business excellence awards in 2006.

Most recently, he had been a member of the mayor’s task force on community engagement in Langley Township. He attended the first meeting last month, but later had to resign due to the illness.

He is survived by his wife Mary and family.

A memorial service will be held on March 30 at Christian Life Assembly, starting at 2 p.m. His family has asked that donations in his memory be made to any of the numerous charities he supported.

Tribute was paid to him at Tuesday’s Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce meeting, with president Kristine Simpson commenting that he continued to be a valued adviser to the chamber up until very recently

The HOGATM mat system is made up of three different components: an eco friendly TPE mat made to our patent pending specification; a high static proprietary towel and unique force distributing FASTENING SYSTEM that holds it all together.

1 ) It’s unique fastening system. You won’t find another mat that works this way. Once the towel is snapped into the rubber mat it doesn’t bunch or move on you, making your practice about you and not the mat.

2) The HOGATM Mat is not going anywhere. It adheres to every surface. I work at 2 different studios - one is carpeted, one is not. On both types of floors this mat doesn’t shift or slip, but grips the floor beautifully.

3) The soft microfiber towel feels great when you are working on the floor or lying in Savasana. It’s not abrasive in the chin, knees, and ankles 4) Even after my drippiest classes it could handle even more sweat. I sweat a ton and yet at the end of class the corners of the towel are not even damp and when I take apart the towel and the mat, the rubber mat is barely wet.

Contents copyright of Black Press.

Monday’s telephone town hall on the proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax increase to fund transit and transportation projects proved two things. One is that Langley residents are remarkably patient and polite. The other is that the boost in sales tax will improve things modestly in the western part of Langley, and other than two road projects, do nothing for the areas east of Murrayville.

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese made it clear that there will be no improvements to bus service to Aldergrove. There will be no service to Gloucester industrial estates. There will be no routes in rural areas. Fraser Highway will be widened and 16 Avenue will be improved.

The good news is that there will be a bus on 208 Street in Willoughby and significant improvements to service on 200 Street and Fraser Highway — north and west of Langley City. LRT is 12 years away, at a minimum. Brookswood and Fernridge will see some modest improvements.

In terms of patience and politeness, none of the people who got through the screeners to speak to Froese were rude or angry. Some do not favour the tax increase — but two said they’re voting ‘yes.’ They asked questions about the cost of the ‘yes’ campaign, the likelihood of the tax being increased and salaries paid to TransLink officials.

Whether those who were on the phone, or watched the town hall on YouTube, will be convinced to vote ‘yes’ remains to be seen. However, they did get a lot of additional information, which should at least help some of them make their minds up.

The boost in sales tax will hurt many Langley businesses. This issue did not come up. But it is a fact — and Aldergrove businesses are particularly vulnerable. Thus far, no one other than the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce and Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses seems willing to stand up for them.

Question langeytimes.com

of the week

Is Langley Township communicating well with residents over planning and development issues?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

As long as people and wildlife live in close proximity to each other, their interaction will always have to be managed in some way.

For the animals, by and large that means they are the ones to bear the brunt of that management.

Debate over the need to cull deer in Greater Victoria has its roots with humanity’s need to grow, to expand and to enjoy their own living space. It can be argued that we do this at the expense of other creatures.

Take the wolf, or cougar, for instance. People have managed them right out of our communities. That’s reasonable, certainly. They pose a larger danger than what is left behind — namely the deer.

Yet there are ramifications to eliminating those predators, such as the rise and fall of deer populations around urban areas.

It’s difficult to envision how large numbers of deer pose a threat to people, given their skittish nature. I suppose it’s the gardens that suffer the most. And in Oak Bay, that threat contributed to the municipality’s recent deer cull.

Was it worth all the fuss over the issue to cull a few deer? Probably not. New ones will be back soon as there’s nothing to keep their numbers down.

As one solution, Victoria city councillor Chris Coleman is suggesting farming might be an option. Round ’em up and breed them for venison. One supposes that could be called a controlled, confined cull, where few people go out of their way to witness it.

It might have a chance of working out in Central Saanich, where an online petition against a cull there two years ago garnered little to no support. There ended up being no cull in Central Saanich, where more agricultural space means fewer human-deer run-ins and, presumably, a more benign attitude toward them.

In the long run, the ruckus over the Oak Bay cull in all likelihood will die down.

The deer, however, will not. They’ll be back. And it’ll be up to people to once again figure out how to manage them.

It’s tough to argue for doing nothing, since people created the problem in the first place, but that might be the best thing we can do. We’ve done enough already.

Cats need more compassion LANGLEY IS SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE Editor: I spoke as a delegation to Mission council seeking empathy for stray and feral cats in Mission.

As a few councillors had not witnessed strays in their neighbourhood, it was felt no problem existed and a few questioned the estimated 3,000 stray and feral cats I suggested live in the District of Mission.

While no scientific proof or means to accurately record the actual numbers exists, the lack of numbers seems to justify to the indifferent and uncaring politician they do not need to do anything, least of all be compassionate to any determined number, small or large. They can just go into denial and bury their heads.

There was astonishment recently, when it was stated that Surrey had a stray/feral cat problem of over 34,000 cats, followed later by Langley claiming 22,000 cats.

These are in municipalities with progressive bylaws and no-kill animal shelters.

It does not take a rocket scientist to imagine that 3,000 strays in Mission is a reasonable number, with many more in Abbotsford.

A lack of diligent enforcement or education contribute to a worsening situation, thus appropriate funding becomes crucial to success.

Abbotsford has an SPCA but no local contract to address animal control, which is foolhardy. Mission pays over $250,000 for a dog pound, but has no cat control, other than $22,000 for the Fraser Valley Humane Society, which lacks volunteers and adequate shelter space.

In 1995, I was told by Mayor Randy Hawes that “Mission has no appetite for your animal welfare bylaws.”

At that time, I had proposed to deal with approximately 300 cats at a cost of $10,000.

Fast forward to the present. There is the same mayor, who is expected to perpetuate the same indifference to the problem.

The major cause and solutions of cat over-population are ignorant, indifferent mayors and councillors; a lack of progressive spay, neuter, tattoo and breeder permit bylaws, with significant fines and a bylaw to reclassify “owners” to more appropriate “guardian” designations.

Veterinarians have the monopoly on medical care, thus there is a failure to respond with frequent lowcost or free spay and neuter clinics. This exacerbates the causes. There is a lack of effective trap, neuter, release (TNR) programs, due largely to under-funding; a lack of foster guardians; a lack of continual public awareness campaigns in the media; and irresponsible guardian who fail to provide a caring home.

The time for compassion and overcoming the ignorance and indifference of leaders has long passed.

There are good examples of shelters in Langley Township and Maple Ridge. There are basic animal care and spay, neuter, breeder permit bylaws adopted across Metro Vancouver. There is no excuse today for such negligent care of companion animals.

Walmart employees and management showed heart Editor: Walmart Langley has heart.

Despite the big box reputation, and videos of the people who shop at Walmart, under the surface, these employees and their management team at Walmart 3158 Langley truly demonstrate and project a clear definition of heart.

Let me give an example. I am a merchandiser, who for the last two and one-half years was stationed at this location. I have had the opportunity to be welcomed by staff and management at this location, as if I did work there.

From Linda, Ick, the Kevins, Chantel, Jerry, Jocye, Wendy and Karen — the list could go on — Pearl, Deb, Pat, Cindy, Jamie and Jane. As I was working alongside the staff, I learned a great deal about someone. Audrey was that someone for me.

Audrey was a 75-year-old feisty gal. “The old bird,” I called her. I do not know how

this woman did it some days, her body was so crippled, she had arthritis and bad knees, yet never missed a day’s work.

Some days Audrey had to come two hours early or stay two hours later, because of the schedule Handy Dart ran on. She came to my Christmas table the last two seasons and shared dinner with friends and family.

Always swearing by her “juice,” an aloe vera drink, the old bird could sing me into buying a jug or two, or three, as I could never say no to her. This past Christmas, Audrey had the house roaring with laughter. She was so outspoken, so funny, so real, and unknown to us, it would be her last meal with us.

That Christmas night as she lifted her poor, aching body from my chesterfield, she said, and I quote, “I will work until I die,” and she did. She worked on Sunday, March 1, and on Monday, March 2, she was

in the hospital. Her spirit floated away.

I received the call from Cassandra. She knew of my relationship with Audrey and wanted to inform me of this tragic news.

Without a thought, I sprang to Royal Columbian Hospital to be with my friend, who would be alone.

When I arrived, I entered her space in the emergency. She looked like she was sleeping. I called her, shook her, I tried opening her eyes, she did not budge. I took her hand, kissed it, sat, and cried.

Through the tears, I saw familiar faces from Walmart. You see, in case of emergency, Audrey had only Walmart as an emergency contact. Arriving were Lee, Jane and Judy, who came to stay with Audrey.

And that they did. They came all day Tuesday, then they came again at night.

They sat with that woman even though

Walmart itself was busy with inventory and relines.

Management supported these women and Audrey. On the day Audrey passed away, Jane was able to have the priest give Audrey her last rites. She was Catholic. Without her “Walmart family,” Audrey would have been alone, and might have missed her last rites.

These women, the people who make up this Walmart showed love, care and concern. It was so heart-warming and so kind.

To hear them all say, “Audrey will not die alone,” and support her during her last days, is worthy of being recognized. The public needs to know that all is not for profit. There is a lot of heart at Walmart in Langley.

March has been a good month for the B.C. NDP, and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that.

Drilling set to resume on stalled Metro water tunnel $240 MILLION PROJECT TO ENSURE DRINKING WATER FLOW NOT STEMMED BY EARTHQUAKE JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

A stalled Metro Vancouver megaproject to drill a new $240-million drinking water tunnel under the Fraser River to serve Surrey and surrounding cities, including Langley City and parts of the Township, should get back on track by early April.

Work was halted last October when the tunnel boring machine ran into trouble about 800 metres into the planned one-kilometre Port Mann Water Supply Tunnel between Surrey and Coquitlam.

Repairs to the complex machine are nearly complete and tunnel cutting could resume in a few weeks, according to Metro Vancouver major projects director Frank Huber.

It hasn’t been easy to perform repairs to the cutting head 50 metres below the bottom of the river.

Contractors had to first freeze the ground near the bore head to hold back ground water and soil under significant pressure that far down that was done by constructing a platform in the middle of the river from which

When we have a major earthquake, this crossing will survive.

FRANK HUBER

crews injected liquid nitrogen into the saturated soil.

Then they had to chip large amounts of frozen tunnel muck out of the excavation chamber before a fix could begin.

Once the remaining 200 metres of the tunnel is drilled, the actual 3.5-metre diameter water pipe will be installed to carry Coquitlam reservoir water to residents south of the Fraser.

It’s needed not just because of the region’s rapidly growing population, but also to ensure drinking water isn’t cut off in an earthquake.

River scouring damaged the existing tunnel under the river in 1997 and forced severe water restrictions until it could be repaired. “When we have a major

earthquake, this crossing will survive,� Huber said. “It will allow us to feed water south of the Fraser River.�

The delays have put the project behind schedule — the drilling that began a year ago was supposed to wrap up by late 2014 and project completion has been pushed back into 2016.

But Huber said no cost overruns are expected because of a sizable contingency put in the budget. “Everyone knows it’s risky business. It’s underground work and things can happen that are unforeseeable.�

Metro officials know well the trouble they can run into drilling water tunnels.

They are finally commissioning long-delayed twin tunnels between the Capilano Reservoir and the new Seymour filtration plant 10 years after the work first began.

That $820-million project first hit trouble when the original tunneling contractor halted work, citing unstable rock. A lawsuit for breach of contract launched by the regional district is still before the courts.

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

Referendum Questions:

Isn’t it really a non-binding plebiscite?

Referendum Questions is a Black Press series exploring issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and transportation referendum.

Voters must mail in ballots by May 29 on whether they support the addition of a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region, called the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades. Read more in this series on our website.

Technically, yes, the vote is a plebiscite under provincial law.

But practically there’s little difference, except that it operates under different legislation. “On the surface, to voters there is not really any discernable difference,� Elections BC spokesman Don Main said.

The plebiscite is not legally binding but the provincial government has promised

to proceed with the proposed 0.5 per cent sales tax increase to fund improvements if a majority of residents across Metro Vancouver vote in favour.

Elections BC defines a plebiscite as a cabinet-ordered vote on a matter of public concern conducted under the Election Act that “may be binding on

government� while a referendum is held under the Referendum Act and the results are “usually binding.�

It happened only because Premier Gordon Campbell promised government would abide by the outcome when he okayed the referendum.

His decision followed a successful initiative petition by anti-HST forces.

Under B.C.’s law governing initiatives, the province had the option of sending the Fight HST campaign’s proposed repeal legislation to the Legislature for debate or holding a referendum on it.

Campbell chose the latter.

Had he accepted the legislation for debate instead, the BC Liberal majority could have simply refused to pass it — at its political peril.

Legally, Fight HST’s

eventual referendum win still only required government to forward the draft repeal bill to the house for debate, not to actually pass it.

But blocking it then would have been politically suicidal for a government already deeply wounded by the HST debacle.

Representatives of the Yes and No campaigns in the Congestion Improvement Tax both say it would be similarly unthinkable for the province to ignore the outcome of the transit and transportation vote. “Politically, that would just be unbelievable,� Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said.

No campaign head Jordan Bateman said he believes the tax is a go if the vote is Yes, but doesn’t believe the spending commitments are necessarily binding. – Jeff Nagel

Langley man awarded $1.1 million for ’08 crash REAR-END COLLISION LEFT THE CARPENTER UNABLE TO WORK A Langley man who was in a car crash in 2008 has now been awarded a $1.1 million settlement from ICBC. Daryl Easton, 33, was awarded the settlement

by Justice Williams in New Westminster Supreme Court on Feb. 13.

Easton took action for damages resulting from injuries sustained in three separate crashes he was involved in.

In October 2008, his vehicle was rear-ended at the intersection of 208 Street and 84 Avenue. The vehicle was a write-off.

He sustained the most serious injuries in that crash, resulting in him not being able to work as a carpenter and also having to have surgery in an attempt to fix the numbness and injury to his neck and arm.

Langley lawyer Rick McMullan represented him.

The judge awarded Easton $91,226 for housekeeping, house maintenance and yard work up until he is 75.

He currently rents so doesn’t require yard or house maintenance.

The judge awarded him non-pecuniary damages of $125,000; past income loss of $125,000, further income loss of $800,000, cost of future care is $43,600 and special damages is $11,591.

School board seats won at relatively low cost ELECTION SPENDING FOR SCHOOL BOARD SEAT RANGED FROM LESS THAN $500 TO $6,380, WITH MAJORITY OF CAMPAIGN BUDGETS LANDING AROUND $2,000 MARK The seven candidates who won seats on Langley Board of Education did so with relatively low campaign budgets.

The biggest spender was Megan Dykeman, who spent $6,382.99.

She was also the candidate with the most in outside contributions.

Various arms of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) donated $2,250 to her campaign, with $1,500 coming from CUPE BC and another $500 from local 403 of CUPE, which represents Langley Township outside workers.

She also donated $2,788.02 to her campaign, and made a $1,020 loan to it as well.

The lowest spender was longtime trustee Rod Ross, who spent $484.55 of his own money on his campaign, and claimed an additional expenditure of $700 in reusing past campaign signs.

New trustee Shelley Coburn, who won one of the two Langley City seats, raised $1,880 and spent $1,867.07. She received a $250 donation from Education Minister Peter Fassbender, her former father-in-law and grandfather of her two sons.

New trustee David Tod raised $2,350 and spent $2,100 on his campaign. He spent $1,500 of his own money and had a $300 donation from Angela Gedye, who donated to numerous Langley Township campaigns.

Rob McFarlane spent $3,452.18 of his own money. Alison McVeigh spent $1,845.03 of her own money.

New trustee Rosemary Wallace, who made the move from Langley City council to win a Township seat on the board, raised $1,575 and spent $1,702.42.

She had a $1,000 donation from Maria Martini and received $200 from Langley City Mayor Ted Schaffer.

Design changes led to form collapse DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

D AN F E RGUSON La ng ley Tim es file ph oto

Workers look over the site of a collapse of a parkade on March 17, 2014.

work, the report says.

One worker managed to hang on to some concrete reinforcing rods and was rescued by fellow workers, while the other person fell to the level below.

No serious injuries were reported, but “this platform failure had the potential of incurring multiple worker injuries and/or fatalities,� the written report states. “This employer has failed to ensure that a temporary structure, the false work, form work was capable of withstanding stresses likely to be imposed on it,� the WorkSafe inspector adds.

False work refers to temporary structures used to hold up something under construction until it can support itself.

Formwork refers to the concrete moulds held up by false work.

According to the WorkSafe report “field design changes� to the project were not “clearly identified� in the instructions, including a 15-inch drop in the concrete slab “with no associated details on the [engineering] drawings.�

As well, the written engineering instructions and drawings governing construction of the parkade didn’t include setting limits on the height, rate and sequence of pouring concrete to “prevent overloading of the formwork and to ensure the stability of formwork during the concrete pour.�

And support pieces were not properly marked to permit field identification and ensure accurate assembly, the report says.

The WorkSafe report says the written instructions “did not include sufficient connection details, enlarged where necessary, to clearly describe the formwork, false work to ensure its accurate assembly.�

A parkade collapse at a construction project in Langley Township last year was the result of design changes that were not clearly communicated to the crews building the project, a WorkSafe B.C. investigation has determined.

The WorkSafe inspection report on the incident was released this month in response to a Times request under Freedom Of Information guidelines.

On March 17, 2014, construction crews were pouring a concrete slab for the parkade at a new condominium complex on 66 Avenue near 203 Street around 3 p.m. when the supporting formwork gave way.

Two workers fell through the collapsing form-

National award for plaza design REFURBISHED MCBURNEY RECONGNIZED BY CANADIAN SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS

599

A revitalized McBurney Plaza has earned accolades for both the City of Langley and the collaborative that designed the public square.

The gathering space on the Fraser Highway one-way was recognized with a Regional Citation in the design category of the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects’ (CSLA) annual Awards of Excellence in Ottawa on March 9.

Connecting the busy retail area along Fraser Highway to the Douglas Park Spirit Square and cenotaph, the McBurney Plaza redevelopment is a key focus in the public realm portion of the City’s Downtown Master Plan to create a vibrant downtown core and rich pedestrian environment.

strengthening pedestrian connections and creating a flexible, friendly gathering space to accommodate a variety of unique programming and entertainment offerings,” said City of Langley chief administration officer Francis Cheung.

“We also integrated permeable surfaces, drought-tolerant plantings and rainwater infiltration to support the City’s sustainability agenda.”

The open design, created by landscape architecture and urban design practice Hapa Collaborative, includes a series of arching steps that double as seating, a raised middle wood deck, new trees and a tile plaza at the north end of the site.

“We were very pleased to work with the City of Langley

to revitalize a space that — as the symbolic and historic centre of Langley — is critical to the success of downtown as a commercial and cultural hub,” said Joseph Fry, principal, Hapa Collaborative.

“The design was developed with input from the public, staff and council with the hope that it catalyzes development and other public realm enhancements in the downtown area.

“We strongly believe that public realm is one of the best investments a city can make.

It visually enhances public space, creates a positive environmental benefit and helps build community.”

Winners were selected by a national jury of landscape architects.

Abbotsford Seed Library announces spring seed exchange and library SEEDS CAN BE ‘CHECKED OUT’ IN SPRING, RETURNED IN FALL The Abbotsford Seed Library will hold its first spring seed exchange and library in the West Abbotsford/Aldergrove area on Sunday, March 29.

The Abbotsford Seed Library offers anyone a chance to trade extra seeds or previous year’s seeds.

No seeds? No problem. For new gardeners, or anyone without any seeds to trade, the Abbotsford Seed Library has free, organic, non-GMO

and heritage seeds available for anyone who is interested.

All they ask is that gardeners “check out” the seeds, and then check them back in to the seed library once the plants have grown out.

Literature on harvesting seeds is available.

Anyone interested in becoming a free member of the Abbotsford Seed Library or participating in the free seed exchange should join or like their Facebook page —search

for Abbotsford Seed Library on Facebook.

Alternatively, please email jdbriner@gmail.com to be added to the mailing list.

Exact location and times will be announced later, based on space and interest and will be announced on their Facebook page and emailed out to interested parties.

Abbotsford Seed Library was started this year by a group of Abbotsford residents

Township For the week of March 19, 2015

WWW.GALLERY7THEATRE.COM

so that Lower Mainland gardeners could try growing interesting vegetables, grains and herbs and learn to save seeds from them. The group will hold several seed exchanges where participants can exchange seeds or pick up free seed packets to get started. A “return your seeds” open house will be held in the fall.

SHOWTIMES: 7:30PM

MAR. 13 & 14, 19-21 MATINEES: 2PM

MAR. 14 & 21 2014/15 SEASON PRESENTING SPONSOR

To help people coexist with creatures that are simply trying to survive but can be dangerous if provoked, the following information is offered:

Bears: are coming out of three or four months of hibernation this time of year. They are extremely hungry, have lost weight, and are looking for a lot of food. They also have cubs, which the mothers will teach how to hunt and look for food. Baby bears learn from their mothers’ behavior and they are smart animals: don’t let them learn that food can easily be obtained from humans.

If you encounter a bear, do not run. Act big and loud, and back away slowly to a safe place.

Cougars: can have kittens throughout the year, and family groups can be seen at any time. They survive on natural food sources found in the wild, primarily deer.

Cougar attacks on humans are highly unlikely. However, if you encounter a cougar, do not run. Pick children up immediately and talk to the cougar in a confident voice. Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, fight back.

Coyotes: have the largest population of potentially dangerous wildlife in Langley and can be seen year round, even in residential areas. Pups are born in the spring and are trained to hunt and kill.

Coyotes are bold and easily lose their natural fear of people. Never feed a coyote. If you encounter a coyote, scare it off by making loud noise or throwing something at it to make it afraid. Never ignore a coyote. If it continues to approach, do not run. Maintain eye contact, pick up small pets or children, and slowly move to an area of increased activity.

public notices

In Residential Areas:

The Township of Langley is full of wildlife habitat, and residents share the area with animals including bears, cougars, and coyotes. While residents throughout Langley do not need to be continually on alert, there are a number of actions that can be taken to deter wild animals if they are spotted in your area. Parents are encouraged to educate their children on what to do if they encounter any of these animals, especially if they play by themselves in areas that wildlife frequent or have been seen in the past.

HOUSE OF JAMES

www.tol.ca

public notice Be Wild Animal Aware

TICKETS AT

Reduce the smell of food by keeping barbecues clean. Keep pet food inside.

Garbage is the biggest attraction for bears so keep it secure and inaccessible to wildlife. Do not leave garbage cans out overnight: keep them in the house, a locked garage, or secured outbuilding that cannot be broken into by large, smart bears. Put them out only on the morning of collection.

If you are worried about odour, keep garbage in the freezer until collection day.

Do not use bird feeders, as they attract bears and the birds do need seeds when other natural food sources are available. Be vigilant with small animals, especially cats, in areas where coyotes are around.

In Agricultural Areas: Protect your investment by keeping fences secure and free of damage that predators can use for access. Coyotes burrow, so ensure surrounding netting goes deep into the ground.

Use electric fencing to deter bears from blueberries and beehives, and pick berries and fruit as they ripen. Be vigilant with livestock and keep them secure.

Farm animals are usually killed at night, so bring them inside in the evening.

It is an offence to attract wildlife into a residential neighbourhood.

Those who do not take steps to deter bears and other wild creatures can face a fine of up to $575.

To report poachers or polluters or if you have a problem with wildlife call:

as “Nerve Deafness” is defined as partial or total hearing loss due to damage in the inner ear. The damage is to the hair cells in the cochlea (the snail shaped part of the inner Kim Galick, RHIP/OWNER ear). This impairment can be the result of age, 21 years experience in medications, excessive noise, injury or genetics. Hearing Health Sciences At the present time there is no “cure” for nerve deafness.

In most cases there is no medical or surgical treatment to correct nerve deafness. The good news is that we have many solutions and treatment options for “nerve” deafness including the use of hearing aids. There have been significant advances in hearing aid technology and any person with “nerve” deafness may benefit from a hearing aid with the technology specifically designed for your type of hearing loss.

It is strongly suggested that you have a full hearing evaluation to determine which treatment options would be best suited for your particular hearing loss.

Q: What are some travel tips you

TRAVEL

A: A baby goes through many changes as it grows but one of the toughest on them is the teething stage. For any parent who has ever had to suffer through a night or week of their child teething, they will tell how difficult it can be. A baby first usually starts teething between 5 and 7 months. The first teeth to erupt in a baby are the 2 front lower teeth. This is then followed a few months later by the front upper teeth and then later the teeth on either side of the upper front teeth. By the time the child is about 2 and a half years, all 20 teeth should be out. Teething is the natural process by which the teeth Dr. Athar Butt BSc, DDS Dentist move through the bone and gums, and erupt into the mouth. This process is usually accompanied by some signs and symptoms that can be seen in the developing child. Although there is a wide variance in what each individual child goes through, these are some of the common signs of teething: • excessive drooling – most children drool as it is, but during teething, they tend to drool more than usual • putting their fingers or other objects in their mouth – babies like to put things in their mouth as a natural instinct but during teething they put things in their mouth to bring relief from the pain • inflamed or swollen gums in the area of erupting tooth • baby is more cranky or fussy – usually a change in eating habits will accompany • fever There are ways of making your child more comfortable during the teething stage. If they are cranky, try giving them a chewy toy that they can bite on. Usually cold objects soothe more so try putting a teething toy in the fridge for a while before giving it. However, do not freeze them. You can also rub your fingers on your baby’s gums, just make sure they are clean in order to prevent causing detrimental effects.

Teething ointments such as Orajel or Anbesol can help but their effects don’t last long because they are removed with the excessive saliva. Children’s Advil or Tylenol can help reduce the pain your child is feeling and can also bring down any fever associated with teething. However, if you child is under 2, please follow the directions of the medicine correctly and consult your baby’s physician. Besides that, there’s not much else you can do but console the baby during this process.

Q: I HAVE “NERVE” DEAFNESS. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN HELP ME? A: Sensorineural Hearing Loss or otherwise known

A: If you have these symptoms but have not

been previously treated for OAB you may be eligible to participate in a research study comparing two Health Canada approved medications for the treatment of OAB. Eligible participants will receive the study medication at no cost, study related care and $25 per visit travel compensation.

typical symptoms that can be associated with either Peri-menopause and Menopause due to hormonal imbalances. And although Peri-Menopause and Peter Tong Menopause can both be considered normal processes Pharmacist & Certified as women age, it is important to know that symptoms Diabetes Educator can be treated effectively naturally and without prescriptions. In Peri-Menopause, symptoms occur because many women start to lose estrogen hormones but coincidentally end up losing progesterone hormones at a faster rate, causing a higher estrogen-to- progesterone ratio. In this instance, the goal is to eliminate excess estrogen so that the hormone ratios regain balance. To do this, I recommend AOR D-Glucarate, and Metagenics Indole-3Carbinol, 2 supplements derived from cruciferous plants that when taken together can help metabolize excess estrogen to reduce the peri-menopausal symptoms.

In Menopause, there is a complete deficiency in estrogen, leading to what I call “estrogen withdrawal”, which presents as hot flashes and night sweats. In this instance, treatment aims at supplements that can emulate estrogen and bind to estrogen receptors. One of the more novel approaches to this is ERr 731, an extract derived from Siberian rhubarb that has shown significant reductions in menopausal symptoms during clinical trials within 12 weeks. An example of a product containing ERr 731 is Metagenics Estrovera with directions of 1 tablet per day. Find these supplements and learn more about whether these products are right pharmacists at Pharamsave Langley City.

Ball hockey event, scholarship in Trapp’s honour

GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Scott Trapp left a lasting impression on everyone he met and a huge void in the many lives he touched.

“He left a big hole in a lot of people’s lives,” said his mom, Lennie Trapp.

“Ours most of all. And we are still trying to pick up the pieces.”

Scott was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer, Rhabdomyosarcoma, in November 2013.

He battled the disease through a year of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

In October of last year, Trapp was given the all-clear by doctors. But in early December, doctors discovered the cancer had returned.

He passed away less than three weeks later with his family and friends by his side on Dec. 26 at the age of 20.

He left behind his parents, Doug and Lennie, and sister Janelle.

“He touched a lot of lives,” Lennie said.

One of the stories she shared was from a night out on the town with some friends in Vancouver. No one could find him inside.

They went outside and found him sitting at a pizza shop, where he had bought a homeless lady dinner.

“He was exceptional, always looked out for other people, always put other people first,” Lennie said.

Scott had graduated from Brookswood Secondary in 2012 and attended UBC,

In his second year on campus, he joined the Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE)-Phi Alpha (UBC) chapter of the fraternity.

This year, the fraternity renamed their annual ball hockey tournament in honour of Trapp.

The fourth annual Scott Trapp Stick-It to Cancer Memorial Tournament will be held on Saturday (March 21) in the UBC parking lot (6190 Agronomy Rd.) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The event has raised more than $41,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society in its first three years, with $30,000 of that from last year alone. As of Tuesday morning, $26,000 has been raised for this year.

“Community and philanthropy are very important to our fraternity,” said Ryan Burns, who is serving as the event co-ordinator.

“And cancer touches everyone’s life in some way.”

This year’s event has 20 men’s team and eight women’s teams registered. The teams play round-robin action in the morning and the playoffs in the afternoon. There are also skills competitions, and mini-games, as well as a 50/50 draw and a head shave.

The event also has a barbecue and refreshments for sale, with all the proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Scott had attended last year’s event in between his treatment schedule.

“He was always the most positive person in the room, always had a smile on his face.”

Scott was also friendly with everyone he met, making sure all felt included and he was often referred to as the “glue,” the one who kept everyone together.

Trapp recalled when her son moved into residence on the UBC campus, her son went door-to-door on all four floors, introducing himself.

“Walking across campus with him was a challenge because everybody stopped to say hi to Scott,” she said.

In addition to having the tournament renamed in his honour, there is now also the Scott Trapp Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The recipient will be a Brookswood Secondary student who best exemplifies the values and character traits that he portrayed. The criteria will be based on leadership and service within the school and community, along with academic performance.

“He absolutely would have been thrilled to be remembered this way,” Lennie said.

“He would have loved the scholarship because he was giving someone else a hand up, an opportunity.”

She described her son as very outgoing, active and welcoming of others. He was also very physically active, playing a variety of sports with lacrosse as the primary one.

Trinity Western Spartans goaltender Silas Matthys has adjusted to Canadian hockey quite nicely. Matthys, who came to Langley from Switzerland, was named both the top goaltender and the most valuable player by the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League last week. the top goaltender and MVP by the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League. He is the first goalie to win MVP in the league.

Matthys backstopped the Spartans to an upset of SFU in the first round of last year’s playoffs, before they lost in the BCIHL finals. During the regular season, Matthys had a 4.05 goals against average and an .893 save percentage.

But in the post-season, he improved those numbers significantly to 3.20 and .921.

And his numbers were off the chart this past year. He went 14-5 with a 2.50 GAA and a .930 save percentage, which were second and first in the league, respectively.

Unfortunately, SFU returned the favour this season, eliminating Trinity Western in the semifinals with 3-2 and 6-4 victories

Matthys, a second-year business student, still has two years of eligibility left.

Following that, he would like to play professionally.

“He has been a real treat for our program,” Kropf said.

“He is one of those guys you wished you had another dozen lined up that could keep filling in after him.”

With his professional background, Matthys shows his teammates what it takes when it comes to nutrition and rest.

What really stands out, however, is his on-ice efforts.

“He competes. Even in practice, he hates being scored on,” Kropf said.

“He brings that same attitude into games.”

Matthys and forward Cody Fidgett were both first team allstar while Buys and defenceman Jake Harcoff were second team selections.

Kropf was the co-recipient of the coach of the year award last year.

This season, he guided the Spartans to a program-best 175-0-2 as they finished as the top team during the BCIHL regular season.

The team led the league in both goals scored (106) and goals against (69).

Preston’s partnering with local soccer association LANGLEY SOCCER CLUB NOW KNOWN AS PRESTON GM LANGLEY FC G A RY AHUJA Times Sports

Langley’s Chelsey Brien, 16, rides Shamrock, a 14-year-old Fell pony during the Thunderbird Gateway Dressage Schooling Show on March 8.

It may be a mouthful to say, but a local soccer club is more than happy to try.

Langley FC Alliance will now be known as Preston GM Langley FC, or PGMLFC. “It is quite the mouthful,” admitted Rob Jandric, the president of the soccer club.

He figures over time, the club will become simply known as Preston FC, much like Magnuson Ford in Abbotsford of Metro-Ford in Coquitlam.

Preston FC and Langley FC Alliance officially announced the new partnership last week (March 12).

“We are just very excited,” Jandric said.

“They are very community oriented.”

Chevrolet, one of the brands sold at Preston GM, has recently sponsored Manchester United Football Club, as well as forming a partnership with Canada Soccer.

Local dealerships were encouraged to explore opportunities within their own communities, said Peter Heppner, the vice-president and general manager of Preston GM. “Our company is very interested in any and all activities for the benefit of kids and families,” Heppner said.

They approached local soccer associations and struck the deal.

One part of the relationship is that Preston GM donated a

ange colour.

They purchased the vehicle — the only one of that colour in the entire province — from another dealership.

The vehicle will be driven by the soccer association and then it will be raffled off with the proceeds benefiting the club.

Jandric said without the stress of having to cover the cost of the vehicle, all of the funds will go right to the club.

“It means extra revenue that we can put towards programming for the kids,” Jandric said.

Nine medals for Spartans at nationals TRINITY WESTERN WOMEN’S TEAM WIN SIX MEDALS, FINISH SECOND OVERALL AT CIS NATIONAL TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS It was a historic performance for the Trinity Western Spartans women’s track and field team.

Competing at the CIS national championships at the St. Denis Sports Centre in Windsor, Ont., the Spartans collected seven medals over the three-day competition. And the team’s 79 points were good for second place overall, an all-time best for the program.

Toronto won the title with 131.50 points.

Fiona Benson led the way for the Spar-

tans as she captured gold in the 1500m with a time of 4:18.67.

It was her second medal of the FIONA meet as she also BENSON earned silver in the 3000m.

And Benson also helped the Trinity Western relay teams win a pair of bronze medals in the 4x400 and 4x800 events to

finish her Spartan career as the most decorated TWU athlete at the CIS level. She won six CIS medals in her five years.

Benson teamed with Anastasia Pearse, Rachel Shuttleworth and Maya Daly to take third in the 4x400 with a time of 3:50.56.

And the 4x800 relay team consisted of Benson, Pearse, Meg Harradine and Sarah Inglis. They finished in 8:48.00, a new TWU record.

Inglis also won an individual medal in the 3000m, as she joined the second-place Benson on the podium.

The Spartans other two medals from the women’s side were from Claudette Allen, who leaped 6.20m in the long jump, and Sabrina Nettey, who earned bronze in the triple jump with a leap of 12.47m. That jump also earned Nettey a new Spartans record.

The Spartans men’s track and field team was also competing at the CIS nationals, finishing in seventh place overall. This marked the first time they cracked the top 10.

The team accumulated 41 points. And while Windsor ran away with the title with 101 points, the Spartans were just three points back of fourth place as Laval had 44 points.

Three Spartan athletes also found the podium.

Nathan George and Calum Innes both won silver medals while Declan White earned bronze.

George won his medal in the 300m event with a time of 34.04, while Innes was second in the 60m hurdles with a time of 7.89, a new Spartans record.

And White was third in the 3000m event in a time of 8:07.11.

Rush crush Stealth in first-place showdown It is back to the drawing board for the Vancouver Stealth who got walloped in a first-place showdown.

The Stealth went into Edmonton to face the Rush on Saturday night with both teams sporting identical 4-4 records for a share of top spot in the National Lacrosse League’s West Division.

But Saturday was no contest as the Rush roared out to an early lead en route to a 19-7 victory.

Vancouver trailed 3-0 less than seven minutes into the game and after cutting the lead to 4-2 early in the second, were down 9-4 at the half.

And any hopes of a second-half comeback were squashed by a third quarter that saw Edmonton pump home seven goals compared to Vancouver’s one.

Rhys Duch led the Stealth with two goals and five points, while Tyler Digby, Corey Small and Joel McCready each had a goal and two helpers.

Johnny Powless had three assists.

Ilija Gajic led the team with seven loose balls.

Mark Matthews and Tyler Melnyk led the Rush with four goals apiece while Robert Church had a hat trick.

The Stealth, who now sit in third place at 4-5, host the 5-5 Colorado Mammoth on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

Game time is 7 p.m.

Vancouver Stealth’s Corey Small shields the ball against Colorado Mammoth’s Robert Hope (#18) and Dan Ball (#39) during National Lacrosse League action back in January at the Langley Events Centre. The Stealth have won three straight at the LEC and they will look to make it four in a row as they host the Mammoth on Saturday night at 7 p.m. Colorado leads Vancouver by a half game for second place in the division.

Lightning come through with title

Brookswood Bobcats’ Tavia Jasper cuts through the Oak Bay Breakers defence during the junior girls provincial basketball championships at the Langley Events Centre earlier this month.

The Bobcats went 1-3 at the tournament, finishing in 15th place.

It was in December when the Langley Lightning really seemed to come together as a team.

The girls midget house hockey team was having trouble finding a tournament to enter, when they finally got the green light to play at the Penticton Fire on Ice rep tournament.

“Even though we were not a rep team, they allowed (us) to enter,” said coach John Campbell.

“It was at this point where these young ladies grouped together and played their game of hockey as if they were together for years, and won the tournament.”

With the momentum of that tournament victory, they captured another gold medal a few weeks later at the Langley Girls Ice Hockey Association Angels on Ice tournament.

And the team capped things off earlier this month by captured the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association female midget playoff title in the Black Group.

“Our goal at the start of the season was to make sure all these girls where going to become a tight meshed group, learn to play as a team and play a passing game,” Campbell said.

Another local team has fallen victim to the Mission City Outlaws.

The Outlaws eliminated the Aldergrove Kodiaks in five games last week to advance to the Pacific Junior Hockey League championship series.

Mission City had beat the Langley Knights in six games in the opening round best-of-seven junior B hockey series.

Since losing games one and two to Langley, the Outlaws won eight of their next nine games, with the lone hiccup being a game one loss to the Kodiaks.

Following the series, Aldergrove coach Brad Rihela announced he was stepping down from the Kodiaks after two seasons in order to work with the Yale Hockey Academy in Abbotsford.

He will be the head coach of the school’s bantam prep team.

The Outlaws outscored Aldergrove — the top team in the Harold Brittain Division — 19-14 over the five games.

This year’s showstopper could well be a 1963 Lincoln Convertible, supplied by Abbotsford’s 360 Fabrication, which is now applying the final touches to the $1 million dollar restoration (pictured above).

Heard is excited about a new display called Car Culture, which focuses on the vehicles and the lifestyles that drive them. Feature vehicles are displayed in themed settings, featuring accessories and backdrops.

Classic Alley offers a stroll back through time while Hollywood North pays tribute to the cars we see on movie sets around town. Just a sample of what’s up at the show. The rest of our Driveway crew (drivewaybc.ca) looks new cars on display at keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Driveway’s Alexandra Straub will pilot an all-electric Nissan LEAF in the annual AJAC Eco-Run next week.

The all-electric sedan, which is also the prize car provided by the Scrap-It program for our Plug-In to Win contest, will glide silently from the Vancouver International Auto Show in downtown Vancouver next Wednesday.

The route, devised by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, will then take the participating 19 eco-friendly vehicles to Victoria via the Nanaimo ferry. On Thursday, the vehicles will be put through their paces on a handling course in Langford to see how versatile they are.

The EcoRun concludes that evening in Vancouver.

In addition to pure electric vehicles, the Eco-Run

includes plug-in and conventional hybrids, as well as vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells, diesel-fuelled powertrains and highly efficient gasoline options.

There’s no limit to the size of vehicle showcased, as they range from subcompacts to pickup trucks.

The participants include the 2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel, 2015 Kia Soul EV, 2015 Ford Focus 1.0-litre, 2015 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid and the 2015 Chevy Volt.

The purpose of the event is to inform consumers of these alternative options. These new vehicles are driven in real-world road conditions in order to fully test for fuel efficiency and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

The Pilot is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine, matched to a six-speed automatic transmission or an optional nine-speed unit.

One of the biggest traffic beefs expressed by readers is about left turners who won’t move out into the intersection.

Doing so, enables at least two cars and perhaps three to make the turn at the light change, which reduces frustration. The other day I saw a police car barely straddle the crosswalk, refusing to move out. What hope is there?

Members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) have already voted Best New (2015) Small Car (under $21,000) the Honda Fit. 2015 Kia Soul EV This is a clever electric vehicle adaptation of Kia’s tall 5-door compact car with the funky styling. Soul EV offers the same, user-friendly features as its gasoline counterpart, with seating for four or five and a large rear cargo area. Kia’s polymer (electrolyte) lithium-ion battery pack is compact and easier to hide, as is can be molded into different shapes. In Soul EV it’s centrally fitted under the rear seats and a raised rear floor pan.

The liquid-cooled AC synchronous permanent magnet electric motor can generate a whopping 210 lb-ft of torque. That’s 59 lb-ft more than the gas engine version of Soul.

Yet, its impressively smooth and standing starts are not as jumpy as other electric vehicles. Soul EV has a claimed driving range of 149 km on a single charge.

2015 Subaru Legacy The redesigned Subaru Legacy won the overall 2015 Canadian Car of the Year Award. A substantial improvement in fuel economy was achieved through a variety of engineering initiatives that included an impressive new (Lineartronic CVT) automatic transmission. It’s also the only car in the “family car” market segment that comes with standard

192ND

Good news for BC auto buyers who want a “green car” – a $7.5 million fund was set aside in the BC provincial budget in order to bring back a government incentive program that offered point of sale rebates to buyers of plug-in hybrids, electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles.

The previous rebate plan expired last spring and details of the new plan are expected to be announced at the Vancouver auto Bob McHugh show.

Here are five new to market vehicle choices with “green” aspirations. The first four are finalists for the AJAC Green Car of the Year Award, which will also be announced in Vancouver at the show next week. The 2015 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD would be my personal “primo-green” pick, if I were lucky enough to have a spare $50K stashed away.

2015 Honda Fit Honda Fit may be small on the outside, but its organic shape and an ingeniously versatile seating system makes the most of every bit of interior space. The new Fit also consumes even less fuel, due to a new powertrain and a lighter yet more rigid new body.

A 1.5-litre engine that can produce 130 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque, powers all Fit models. Fuel economy is rated at 7.0/5.7/6.4 L/100km (city/highway/combined) with the new Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

all-wheel-drive.

Legacy was engineered in Japan and is built in the USA in an award winning production facility, for environmental excellence, in Indiana. In fact, the entire 832-acre plant site is designated a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.

2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid Toyota has rebuilt the 2015 Toyota Camry from the ground up. It’s a sportier, better handling Camry with a striking new design and a passenger cabin that Toyota claim is the quietest-ever. The Hybrid editions come in three model grades and a starting price of just $28,710.

Camry Hybrid is powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine linked with Hybrid Synergy drive and matched to an E-CVT. Fuel economy is rated at an amaz-

ing 5.7 L/100km (which is about 50 mpg) in the city and 6.0 L/100km on the highway.

2015 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD Acura has linked its superb electronic (torque vectoring) Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system with a new hybrid powertrain in this all-new version of the RLX. The gas engine is a 3.5-litre V6 with Variable Cylinder Management and it’s linked to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

This is the most powerful Acura production sedan ever built and has a claimed combined (gas + electric) peak output of 377 horsepower. Yet, its fuel consumption is a miserly 8.0/ 7.5 L/100km (city/highway). A little pricey (starts at $49,990), but amazing! bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
