Serious injuries in Aldergrove crash HEA D-ON COLLISION SENDS 57-YEAR-OLD WOMAN TO HOSPITAL BY AIR AMBULANCE MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

CURTIS KR EKLAU Special to Th e Tim e s

A 57-year-old Aldergrove woman was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries after a three-car crash on 52 Avenue and 272 Street on Tuesday. Police say a Pontiac Sunfire crossed the centre line into oncoming traffic.

A 57-year-old Aldergrove woman was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries following a head-on three-car crash during rush hour in Aldergrove on Tuesday.

Langley RCMP are seeking additional witnesses to the crash that saw one vehicle cross into oncoming traffic, causing another car to flip into a ditch.

Around 4:30 p.m., a Chevy Cobalt and Kia Rio were travelling east on 52 Avenue when the driver of a red Pontiac Sunfire lost control in the sharp curve of the road where 52 Avenue turns into 272 Street.

Police believe the driver of the Sunfire, a 56-yearold Aldergrove man, lost control in the curve, crossing the double solid line into oncoming traffic. The Kia that was hit flipped and went into the ditch. The driver was trapped inside and had to be freed with the Jaws of Life.

ICARS (Integrated Collision Analyst and Re-

construction Service) attended to assist with the investigation.

The driver of the Sunfire and the passenger in the Kia (a 21-year-old Aldergrove resident) were taken by ground ambulance for treatment of their non-life threatening injuries.

The driver of the Kia, a 57-year-old Aldergrove woman, was transported by Air Ambulance and remains in hospital. The driver of the Cobalt, a 31-year-old Aldergrove man, suffered minor injuries and didn’t go to the hospital.

The cause of the collision is still under investigation.

The road was closed for more than an hour and another minor crash on the freeway in Aldergrove caused traffic to back up in the area.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the collision or the actions of the Sunfire driver prior to the collision to contact Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 and provide additional information.

District recommends Lochiel school closure U-CONNECT PROGRAM WILL BE MOVED TO SIMONDS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Langley School District is recommending the closure of the Lochiel school site and relocation of its U-Connect program to Simonds Elementary.

The move of the program will actually save the district from having to consider closing Simonds, which

has been facing declining enrolment for some time.

At a special meeting on Tuesday night, trustees unanimously approved a notice of motion to consider closing the south Langley school.

That sets in motion the required 60-day public consultation process to close a school.

The district will hold a public

meeting on May 13 to discuss the proposed closure, and listen to community concerns and proposed options.

To that point, Trustee Alison McVeigh urged the public to have their say.

“I encourage the community to get involved. It’s important that we hear your feedback,” said McVeigh.

“Simonds does have some issues.

“That will come out in a full report on Friday,” said David Green, secretary-treasurer. Trustees will decide at their June 9 board meeting whether to close that site.

Better future ahead for City, mayor says MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Langley City Mayor Ted Schaffer is looking forward to a better, healthier future for the community he has called home for more than 30 years.

That’s why he created the Crime Prevention Task Force to “get ahead of problems,” he said in a recent interview.

“I’m very much trying to be proactive. Yes, there are issues here, but they aren’t all bad and this task force shows we are wanting to deal with them,” said Schaffer.

Many small merchants and big businesses have invested in the community and want to stay in Langley City for a long time, said Schaffer. He wants those businesses to flourish.

“I really care about my community. I’m not in this for any other reason,” he said.

Greg Perkins, a former police officer in Ontario who is now an expert in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), took the newly-formed task force on a tour of hot spots and problem areas in the downtown core several weeks ago.

Already, since the last meeting, changes are happening for the better, Schaffer pointed out.

TransLink has been busy installing brighter lighting at the bus loop, as requested by the City.

Transit Police will continue to check the loop and put security there.

Schaffer said he is setting up another meeting with the owners of the adjoining Rainbow Mall attached to the bus loop.

“I want to talk to them about what direction are they going and how can the City help them get there,” he said.

Terry Causton, owner of the iconic Choo Choos Restaurant, said he’s very pleased with how proactive the City has been. His restaurant is geared to families and he is hearing nothing but positives from his customers about coming to visit the oneway section of Fraser Highway.

“I see it looking better down here. We want people to know it’s a safe and great place to visit,” said Causton. “It’s nice to see new businesses on the one-way succeeding.”

He said he is aware that homeless people have been more visible as of late, but said the City has been working on it, and it’s already much better than it was three months ago.

“The City is doing everything it can. The BIA is very responsive if issues arise,” said Causton, who lives downtown and can walk to work every day.

Anne Aliott has been running her busy My Thai restaurant in Langley for 24 years, and moved top the one-way area several years ago. With a steady stream of lunch and dinner customers, she is happy to stay right where she is.

She suggests that even more customers would shop and eat downtown if there was more parking.

That is an ongoing issue, just as important as the presence of homeless people.

She has had to call bylaw officers and police on several occasions to move them along, after they have stayed the night at her back door.

“I phoned the mayor about it and he came down to see me right away,” said Aliott. “He asked what can we do to help? So he is working on how a fence or something can be built there.”

Schaffer stresses that change isn’t going to happen right away.

“This is going to take a lot of time and effort. Nowadays, people expect change right away and that’s just not possible,” he said.

Two members of the Langley RCMP who work in the City sit on the task force.

“The RCMP realize changes should be made to how they manage the downtown. They are putting a full-time officer in charge based out the City Community Police Office. We will have officers walking the beat as they do in larger metropolitan cities,” he said.

Sunny weather on Wednesday made it a great day to be shopping in the one-way area of Fraser Highway in Langley City’s downtown area.

No fireworks at this year’s Canada Day event D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

There will be no fireworks at a scaleddown Canada Day celebration in Langley this July 1.

It will be a daytime-only event, without a midway or a major marketplace.

The changes have been made because the Township has taken over the 2015 Canada Day celebrations from the Langley International Festival Society, which took over the duties of the Langley Canada Day Celebrations Society last year.

The society tried to combine the Canada Day and International Festival events, but that proved to be a struggle, with lower-than-expected turnout and high-

er-than-expected expenses.

In mid-February, the International Festival Society sent a letter to the Township that said the society wanted to give up responsibility for Canada Day and concentrate on the multi-cultural festival.

Festival spokesperson Shar Dubas told The Times her organization was in the red after Canada Day, but has since managed to get out of debt.

The International Festival will be held on Aug. 22 and 23 at Willoughby Park.

The Township announced it has teamed up with the Langley Events Centre and country music radio station JR-FM to hold a lower-key Canada Day event at Willoughby Community Park.

The plan is to keep the Township share of the cost to $10,000, the amount of the grant it gave event organizers in the past.

A Township press release says the free, day-time event will feature live entertainment, country music, activities in the park, and JR-FM’s Great Big JRBQ. Proceeds from the barbecue will benefit the Basics for Babies program, which helps Food Banks BC support young families by providing donations of food, formula, and diapers.

The day will also include old-fashioned children’s games and visitors are encouraged to enjoy Willoughby Community Park’s playground, spray park, and sand volleyball courts.

“This event will give people in the community a chance to bring a blanket or lawn chair down to the park, enjoy some great entertainment and good food, unwind and have fun,” Township manager of recreation services James Marvel said.

“It will be like a country picnic where families and neighbours can get together to socialize, play in the park, listen to music, and celebrate our country in a relaxed atmosphere.”

The Township Canada Day celebrations at Willoughby park will complement events being held in Fort Langley on July 1 at the Langley Centennial Museum, the BC Farm Museum, and the Fort Langley National Historic Site.

The recent public consultation process regarding the Langley Secondary family of schools did not result in the possible conversion of Simonds Elementary to a middle school, thereby raising the issue of whether the district should consider its closure due to declining enrolment, said Green on Tuesday.

Then the district looked at the recent expansion of the learning program at Lochiel to include Grade 10 next September, and the plan to continue to add a grade each year so it becomes a K-12 school.

Because of that, a larger facility is required, involving relocation of students.

There are around 120 students and the program is growing, said Ken Hoff, district spokesperson.

The program is unique, offering a blend of some site-based and mostly home learning.

Learning plans are created by teachers, parents and students together in September of each year and work is completed throughout the year, with much of it taking place online.

“It’s really working for students who just don’t succeed in a traditional classroom setting,” said Hoff.

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Lochiel School, home of Langley’s popular U-Connect Education Centre, will likely be closing, upon the recommendation of the school district. The program will be moved to Simonds Elementary, to help boost enrolment numbers at that school.

More and more students with anxiety have found this program works for them.

If the U-Connect program moves to Simonds, there are two implications to the school.

Right now, the district’s Media Centre is currently housed at Simonds.

That resource library will have to be moved somewhere

else.

The district would also have to consider whether space would still be available for district ELL teachers, who currently use the school as a base.

The district has to consider selling off some of its school sites to free up money to contribute money to building a new high school in Willoughby.

The murder trial for Jason Brewer won’t be back in Supreme Court in New Westminster until June.

Last week, the trial came to a halt, just after the accused took the stand.

According to the court registry, the trial ran out of court time and the June date was the nearest slot to resume the case.

Brewer, 26, has pleaded not guilty in the stabbing death of his friend Cole Manning, 40, whose naked, bloodied body was found face down on Brewer’s bed New Year’s Eve of 2012.

Brewer doesn’t deny he killed Manning, but is claiming self defence. The trial was originally set to take three weeks.

Brewer stabbed his friend Manning almost two dozen times, leaving the kitchen knife in his victim’s neck.

He then fled his Willoughby basement suite and met with a longtime friend, confessing what he had done.

That friend called 911.

Several hours later, police tracked him down and after a short police pursuit arrested him near the Greater Vancouver Zoo.

B.C. Seniors Advocate calls for more home care, fewer drugs MANY OLDER RESIDENTS COULD LIVE AT HOME WITH BETTER SUPPORT – ADVOCATE TOM FLETCHER Black Press

As many as 15 per cent of B.C. seniors in residential care could have more independence with assisted living or community care support, B.C.’s Seniors Advocate says.

Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie also compared statistics for B.C. seniors in home and residential care with those in Alberta and Ontario, finding B.C. patients are prescribed more anti-psychotic drugs and receive less physiotherapy and recreation therapy than other provinces.

Mackenzie said the potential overuse of

Su bmitte d pho to

Health Minister, Terry Lake, said the province is aware of the problems highlighted in a report compiled by B.C.’s Seniors Advocate and is putting more resources toward home care and community health services. residential care is “troubling on a couple of fronts” with the shortage of residential care beds for highneeds seniors.

“Most seniors would prefer to live independently than in residential care and so we want to ensure all supports and alternative

living arrangements are exhausted before we move someone to residential care,” Mackenzie said.

“If we are filling even five per cent of these scarce beds with folks who could live independently, that is 1,500 beds that could open up province-wide.”

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR LANGLEY

Health Minister Terry Lake said the ministry is aware of the problems highlighted by the report, and is putting more resources toward home care and community health services, with spending up $1.2 billion to $2.8 billion since 2001.

Lake said B.C. has two programs underway to deal with overprescription of medications in care facilities. One is a training program for staff to more accurately determine psychiatric signs, and the other is working with doctors and pharmacists to find behavioural alternatives to anti-psychotic drugs.

Mackenzie’s review is based on assessment surveys given to B.C.’s 25,000 seniors in residential care and 29,000 home care clients.

It found that a third of residential care patients are being prescribed antipsychotic medication, but only four per cent have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder.

Antidepressants are administered to almost twice as many patients as have that diagnosis.

The survey found 12 per cent of seniors in B.C. residential care received physiotherapy, compared to 25 per cent in Alberta and 58 per cent in Ontario.

Recreational therapy was also more widely used in Alberta than B.C. “Getting seniors moving properly and keeping them moving is absolutely key to maintaining function and independence,” Mackenzie said.

‘Broken window theory’ a possible step ahead From Page 3

While sometimes it is difficult to publicly acknowledge that a City has social challenges as well as a criminal element, it was important to do so, said Schaffer.

“This has opened up dialogue between the City, police, TransLink, merchants, social and faith services and health providers.

“The City staff don’t have their heads in the sand. It’s not a major tsunami of problems out there but we do have some issues,” said Schaffer.

One of those visual issues is the number of homeless people pushing shopping carts and setting up little tent-cities around town.

Schaffer is looking forward to the formation of the homelessness committee. The City is currently looking to hire a consultant to navigate the proper mental health channels to see what can be done for a lot of these people. Many of them need support.

It’s a complex issue with no easy answers, he said. Schaffer said many who call the streets home and push around a shopping cart are suffering from mental illness and/or drug addiction.

“I’ve talked to many of them and for the most part, they just want to be left alone. The way they look doesn’t always indicate they are a danger,” he said.

Perkins pointed to the bus loop as having no connection to the businesses around it. He also pointed out all the social services concentrated

in a two-block radius near the bus loop on Logan Avenue. Perkins also said fringe businesses can set a tone, as can be seen around 7-Eleven, at 203 Street and 56 Avenue. It is the only 24-hour business in town and has faced challenges of drug dealing, loitering and prostitution outside its doors for more than a decade.

Perkins was back to speak to the task force about ideas and suggestions he has to improve problem areas through CPTED. One tried and true CPTED concept is the ‘broken window theory’ that suggests that keeping the streets clean of garbage, graffiti and vandalism reduces other more serious crimes, just by providing a perceptual eye of order in the community.

To that suggestion, Schaffer wants churches who hand out clothing to the homeless to start putting out bins for the old clothing to go in. The problem of discarded clothing all over the downtown is significant and unsightly, he said.

The City has also promised to look at the 13 pharmacies that have opened up in the downtown core. Numerous pharmacies have opened in recent years. The City would like the Township to adopt a similar bylaw, so there will be a limit on the number of outlets for methadone.

The Times will continue to update the public on the progress being made in Langley City.

GARY AHUJA Tim es Reporter

A discarded cigarette may have been the cause of a fire at the construction site of the new Timms Community Centre on Wednesday afternoon.

“It appears — but it has yet to be determined — that it could have been started with smoking material,” said Pete Methot, assistant fire chief for the Langley City Fire Department.

When fire crews arrived on scene around 4 p.m. construction material, possibly insulation membrane, was burning.

“Because it is petroleum-based, there was lots of black smoke,” Methot said.

The fire was on the side of the building facing Douglas Crescent.

One fire crew and a couple of fire chiefs responded. The cause is under investigation.

BEST OF TAUGHM

Living a better life

we

B.C.’s Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie has issued a report on seniors in residential care which has gained a great deal of attention. The attention is long overdue.

Mackenzie points out that there are more seniors in residential care than need to be there. She suggests that many could actually be in assisted living, which is less labour-intensive and less costly, or living in their homes with more assistance from community programs.

Not only would this be a better way of living for these individuals, as they would have considerably more independence, it would save the B.C. government a pot of money.

Mackenzie estimates that as many as 15 per cent of the 25,000 people in residential care could be in less-intensive care facilities.

This could save the province millions of dollars each year, and should be looked at very closely.

Mackenzie, who did a survey of the seniors in residential care and the 29,000 home care clients, also found that far too many seniors are being given drugs to control their behaviour.

One-third of those in residential care are being given anti-psychotic drugs, even though the number actually need ing those drugs is far smaller. Only four per cent have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder.

Meanwhile, about twice as many seniors as actually need them are receiving anti-depressants.

It’s hard not to draw the conclusion that government officials and those running care facilities are drugging residents indiscriminately, likely to control behaviour. This is simply not right.

Health Minister Terry Lake acknowledges that too many seniors in care are receiving anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs, and said there is training underway to ensire that staff members know what drugs are appropriate for people living in residential care.

Mackenzie has highlighted two very important issues, which will be of benefit to both seniors and taxpayers if there is proper follow-through. Seniors deserve proper health services, but they also must be treated with dignity.

They should only be given drugs they really need.

Question

of the week

Is Langley Township’s tax increase of 3.67 per cent for 2015 fair and reasonable?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

they

Would somebody in the BC Liberal office please take control of Christy Clark’s Twitter account?

Our esteemed leader is becoming less esteemed every time she takes to social media.

First, she posts a picture to Twitter, letting all her followers know how proud she was to have found a keepsake album from Rolf Harris — the disgraced entertainer currently serving a 69-month sentence for indecent assaults on four teenage girls.

“Give her a break,” and “she didn’t know” were some of the comments from those coming to her defence. We find it hard to fathom that such a big fan of Harris would have no idea he is in jail.

And while perhaps she can justify not knowing Harris’ whereabouts, not knowing the reason for Good Friday is a little more concerning.

“Good Friday reminds us that hard work and sacrifice are rewarded. I hope you have a restful and meaningful Easter long weekend.”

Yes folks; Christy Clark mistook Easter for Labour Day. Either that, or she believes that hard work and sacrifice should be rewarded with crucifixion.

Politicians give the media plenty of fodder for questioning their common sense during their day-to-day activities.

But Clark has taken the challenge to a whole new level.

Our premier has a serious case of foot-in-mouth disease.

Remember when the favourite retort of those caught in an embarrassing situation was to claim they were misquoted?

Nowadays, the popular argument among those unwise enough to engage in social media before letting their brains process their work is that their Twitter accounts were hacked.

It’s surprising Clark did not use that one on at least one occasion last week.

Compass Card is ‘not convenient’ Editor: The Compass Card is not a convenient product. Bus drivers aren’t patient enough to make a line of boarding passengers “tap in.” Passengers aren’t committed enough to remember to “tap out” when arriving at their stop and transit users aren’t enthusiastic enough to spend their time reloading fare credit onto what is nothing more than a glorified gift card.

The Compass Card is only convenient to administrators who care more about collecting data, monitoring the movement of passengers and quantifying every sliver of service.

This is the wrong objective. TransLink is not a research institute for social engineers and academics, it is a government corporation meant to deliver affordable and convenient transportation.

I’ve always contended that TransLink could learn from the ski industry and implement an all-access year-long pass, available for a lump sum price (with financing available). Customers can purchase their pass once a year and then ride everywhere they please.

TransLink needs to refocus its goals and start selling transit.

If the corporation still insists on collecting ridership data, it can switch on the turnstiles.

PETER LENKO, LANGLEY

Challenge to MP Editor: Langley MP Mark Warawa needs to speak out against Bill C-51. The secret police bill shreds our privacy rights and bypasses the critical steps in assuring power isn’t abused.

If the bill passes, your sensitive private information would be shared between no fewer than 17 government agencies and even handed to foreign governments. This includes sensitive information that can reveal everything from your financial status to your medical history, your sexual orientation, and even your religious and political beliefs.

The bill is dangerous because it opens the door for violations of our Charter rights, including censorship of free expression online. The bill is reckless because it turns CSIS into a ‘secret police’ force with little oversight or accountability. Victims of these privacy breaches wouldn’t even be informed.

The government could spy on anyone, at anytime, and we wouldn’t even know when we’ve been a victim.

I don’t like it when we trade our rights and freedoms for safety.

To take out the need for warrants, you venture onto a slippery slope that can easily be abused. With all the videos showing how a percentage of people with authoritative power abuse it, sometimes to a lethal point, I think it’s even more important to add levers to stop abuse of power. Bill C-51 removes levers that protect our rights and privacy. We don’t a secret police state.

Don’t be scared into giving up your rights. There is more chance of getting killed by a moose then a terrorist. And no one is worried about that. Start protecting us with pollution stopping bills, mandatory renewable energy and zero emission cars. Make GMO labelling on foods mandatory, ban pesticides and you’ll save more lives from better environment.

Members of the Canadian military stand on guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, shortly after an October fatal attack on Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was standing guard there, unarmed. The gunman then went into the Parliament Buildings, and attempted to go after politicians gathered there at caucus meetings, before being fatally shot by the sergeant at arms. Letter writer Lloyd Atkins questions recent government generosity to veterans.

Generosity to veterans part of ‘The Big Con’ by PM Editor: Prime Minister Stephen Harper is a natural for the lead role in the tragic drama ‘The Big Con.’ A hyper-ambitious father of several disabled children becomes convinced he must appear to be compassionate and caring in order to advance his career.

Although the con man has willfully neglected his traumatized dependents for several years, he concocts a plan to buy their love. When his family rejects his ostentatious gifts and convoluted promises, the con man’s boss sees through the charade. The story ends with the deadbeat dad being demoted to a menial position.

There is a version of this sad tale currently playing in Ottawa. Harper has instructed his new Veterans Affairs Minister, Erin O’Toole, to arrange a series of photo-ops to announce a variety of support pro-

grams for particular Canadian veterans with specific conditions.

Harper believes if a smattering of financial assistance is announced in dribs and drabs, the extended positive media coverage will convince many Canadians that his government is sincerely concerned about our injured veterans.

Will the veterans, their families and close friends see these announcements as nothing more than a cynical attempt to buy votes on Election Day? Will they overlook how Harper backed his previous Veterans Affairs Minister, Julian Fantino, in spite of repeated displays of arrogance, incompetence and indifference? Time will tell.

It is also important to understand that your dental insurance coverage is based on the plan purchased by your employer for all employees, which may or may not cover your unique oral health care needs. Review your plan and discuss this with your dentist so that you can understand your options and can make the best decision for your own health.

During the dental examination your dentist will inspect a number of important areas and functions of your mouth to identify any early signs of dental disease and prevent small problems from becoming big ones.

Your dentist may perform parts of the examination in partnership with other members of the dental team and will gather all the necessary information to make an informed diagnosis.

Your dentist may look at some or all of the following during your examination: ◾ Medical history including health conditions or medications that could impact dental care or treatment. ◾ X-rays are a valuable diagnostic tool that may be taken to see what’s going on below the surface of the teeth and gums. ◾ Oral hygiene to confirm plaque and tartar levels that affect gums and teeth. ◾ The gums will be examined for signs of disease such as redness, swelling or infection. ◾ Soft tissue health, including the lips, tongue, cheeks and upper and lower surfaces of the mouth for signs of oral cancer or sensitivity. ◾ The condition of teeth to identify any damaged or decayed teeth along with the condition of any dental prosthesis (e.g. dentures).

YOUR DENTAL EXAM IS MUCH MORE THAN A CHECKUP. Your dentist is trained to detect, diagnose and treat dental disease.

Through regular dental exams, your dentist may also detect early signs of other health concerns such as diabetes and osteoporosis— even before you have other symptoms. Make regular dental exams part of your plan for good health.

◾ Existing dental work, such as fillings, root canals and crowns will also be inspected. ◾ Jaw function: how the teeth are fitting together and the bite. The overall health and function of the temporomandibular joint (joint that joins the jaw to the skull). ◾ The general condition of the bones in the face, jaw and around the mouth. ◾ The normal growth and development of baby and permanent teeth in children.

Talk to your dentist if you have any questions about your dental exam, diagnosis or treatment options.

Clean Up Langley Day set for April 25 in Township Township of Langley residents are encouraged to pull on their rubber boots, grab a garbage bag, and give their community a thorough spring cleaning.

The Fourth Annual Clean Up Langley Day is being held on Saturday, April 25, and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., people of all ages are invited to help clear the community of litter. The event is being held in celebration of Earth Day, and individuals, families, community groups, and businesses can take part.

Clean-ups will be held throughout the

municipality and everyone who joins in will be provided with gloves, safety vests, garbage pickers, and garbage bags. Participants can choose to work in specific neighbourhoods and can organize a clean-up of their own or join an existing work group.

Garbage collected will be picked up and disposed of by AJM Disposal and the Clutter Guys Junk Removal.

To register, call 604-532-7300 or email adopt@tol.ca before April 15. “Clean-ups can take anywhere from 30

minutes to a few hours,� said Tanya Drouillard of the Township’s Strategic Initiatives Department. “People really enjoy it. They see it as a chance to make a difference in their community and help the environment, while spending time with their neighbours and friends. “Last year, close to 125 people braved the rain to take part,� Drouillard noted, adding that the event will be held no matter what the weather is like.

done a little differently this year, and people will have double the opportunity to pitch in and keep the community clean. “Clean Up Langley Day is normally held a bit later in the spring but this year it has been moved ahead by a couple of weeks to coincide with Earth Day,� Drouillard said. “A second Clean Up Langley day is also being considered for the fall, so that people can help out during Waste Reduction Week in October.�

to help in your search. Manulife Financial has partnered with Volunteer Canada to help Canadians and the organizations they care about find a great volunteer match. Go to: www.getinvolved.ca/match The 2010 Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating found that for more than a decade younger people have volunteered more than any other age group.

In fact, 58 per cent of Canadians aged 15–24 are involved in volunteering. This puts young people well above the national average of 47 per cent.

participate in volunteer efforts. A parent’s example and encouragement can be decisive in a youth’s involvement in the first place.

CUT OUT THE JARGON Always define acronyms and terms that might be obscure to any newcomers, since most youth respond to adults who are straightforward and plainspoken. Use stories and examples to clarify technical and conceptual points and, when working with documents, highlight the main ideas and clarify the content with graphics, tables, and illustrations—it makes it easier for everyone to follow.

A Special Thanks...

THANK YOU FOR JOINING G THE FIGHT Over 15,000 people across BC and d the Yukon volunteer for the Canadian Cancer Society. It’s National Volunteer Week and we’d like to thank all of our volunteers for the great work they do. Thanks to you we can invest in life-saving research and prevention programs and support people living with cancer.

Employer-Supported Volunteering

Benefits and Impact

USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM Entering a new environment can be confusing and isolating at any age. To ease the transition, provide young volunteers with an experienced “buddy� as a point person to welcome and introduce them to staff and office culture. And don’t forget that some of the best mentors can be youth as well, or even long-time volunteers. Taking on more than one young person can make us feel like we have someone to share the experience with and help avoid the feeling being the token offi ce youth.

HELP US GET PLACES It’s pretty rare that we’ll have access to a car whenever you need us, so it’s important to ask yourself if your location is accessible by transit or bicycle. Consider subsidizing transit passes and tickets or setting up workfrom-home arrangements. Similarly, are you scheduling important meetings at times when youth might be obliged to be elsewhere (like school) or at locations that may exclude us (like bars)? It’s easy to forget about these kinds of restrictions, but if you don’t spend time working them out, it won’t matter how great your program is – we’ll have to miss out.

INCLUDE OUR PARENTS If including youth in your organization has been a challenge, adding our parents to the mix may seem like even more of an undertaking. However, youth with parental support are often better equipped to

Companies that support the volunteering efforts of their employees experience lower staff turnover rates. Research indicates that 80 per cent of employer-supported volunteers believe that group volunteering strengthens their relationships with colleagues. It also helps individuals to build new skills.

Group Volunteering A circle of friends, a company’s employees, a youth group, a service club, a class, a faith group, a family or a neighbourhood can do group volunteering.

Employer-supported volunteerism encourages a company’s staff to donate their time to community causes. It can be done on company time or supported through other company resources. Employee demand for corporate social responsibility (CSR) is growing. Strong CSR programs are an essential component of ethical business practices.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Charming new townhome community designed for the way you really want to live An escape from the ordinary townhome in a beautiful new area of Maple Ridge – that is Maple Heights in a nutshell. The unique master-planned community is nestled amongst trees, lush habitats and a natural setting, offering homeowners all the urban conveniences they rely on without compromising the greenery of a lovely landscaped setting.

The charming townhome community is the perfect place to raise a family, offering a unique mix of two-storey double car garage layouts to three-storey tandem garage layouts. Access to greenspace is a guarantee, with some of the homes even backing on to Rainbow Creek and a walking

paths. Enjoy entertaining and outdoor living on spacious patios and decks with a professionally landscaped yard.

The walkable neighborhood offers nearby shops and services like Haney Place Mall that includes Thrifty Foods and Alouette Dental Centre, Maple Ridge Square

Welcome to Maple Heights — a unique master-planned community gently nestled amongst the trees. Bordering nearby Kanaka Creek Regional Park and adjacent to walking trails and Rainbow Creek, Maple Heights is a distinctive collection of nature-centric homes where greenery is all around you.

with a Shoppers Drug Mart and Valley Fair Mall with banking options and a liquor store. Nearby schools include private, secondary and elementary education options, restaurants range from bars and grills to coffee shops, outdoor adventures include golf courses and parks, while local indoor activities range from the Maple Ridge Museum, a public library, the ACT Arts Centre, Chances Casino and many others.

“We are located just minutes from Kwanaka Creek Regional Park and are also a 5-minute drive from the Westcoast express station, if you need to commute to Vancouver, and 10 minutes

Your new townhome at Maple Heights is close to amenities and restaurants as well as schools, shopping and only 5 minutes to the Westcoast Express.

from the Golden Ears Bridge,” says marketing and sales manager, Vanessa Isler.

A matter of fact, Isler says that “enviable location” is among the Top 3 features of Maple Heights.

The others include, contemporary finishes like shaker or flat panel cabinetry and quartz countertops throughout (bathrooms and kitchen), as well as stainless steel gas appliances, and the fact that the new, family friendly community is built by StreetSide, a Qualico company.

“Homeowners can be assured that we as a company have been around for 65 years and aren’t going anywhere,” says Isler.

All of the townhomes are threebedrooms, starting from $330, including net GST. There is a choice of two interior colour schemes by Occupy Design., - all homes come with powder rooms on the main floor and 9ft ceilings, with the optional upgrade of a cozy electric fireplace in the living room.

Maple Heights offers the kind of

freedom and security that comes from finding a place with plenty of room to grow, play, move and roam. From big open spaces and lush habitats to explore, including Alouette Lake or a huge array of hiking trails, along with camping, boating and fishing – the laidback and friendly charm of the area is a reminder that finding a dream home and location in one shouldn’t be compromised.

While taking in the scenic mountains on a Sunday morning, enjoying a picnic by a nearby lake, exploring the abundance of waterfalls and creeks, or strolling to the one of the nearby stores for a bottle of wine to entertain guests in your contemporary town home, the opportunity for a great life at Maple Heights is there, it’s up to you to decide what to do with it.

The sales centre is located at #104 – 11305 240 Street, Maple Ridge (240th and Kanaka Way).

Grand opening is Saturday April 11 at noon!

“We are happy to have joined a company that has the same vision for high value product services that we have had for 40 years, said Ken Digness, a former BMS principal who is currently a part of the SCI team.

“We have been partners for several years already and are delighted at the integration which is positive for us and our employees.”

SCI now offers eight

Campaign wants people to ‘picture yourself here’ A property development company is hoping to take a different approach when it comes to marketing their new Murrayville property.

“I have been a developer for more than 30 years and I keep seeing the same old marketing approach,” said Mark Chandler, the president and CEO of Newmark Group.

“I wanted to see something different, something new, something that would authentically speak to potential buyers of Murrayville House about what home and community means.”

Murrayville House is a 92-unit property which is being marketed under the ‘Picture Yourself Here’ campaign. The campaign blends experiential branding, social media and brand journalism.

Working with Transform, a strategic and innovative branding and marketing firm, and AHA Creative Strategies, a public relations, social media and brand journalism agency, Chandler explained that creating a strong brand for Murrayville House and communicating that effectively is key.

He also said that he has decided to take a more brand experience, community engagement and editorial approach with this property – and

a Murrayville House blog has been developed that houses both written and video posts, as well as images.

Working with Newmark Group on the project is Transform, AHA Creative Strategies and Murrayville House TV. Transform developed the marketing campaign, AHA Creative Strategies manages the public relations, social media and brand journalism, and Murrayville House TV produces the content.

“This branded content provides entertaining and interesting information on Murrayville and its coffee houses, restaurants, shops, stores and people,” Chandler said/ “We’re going to run a really fun contest that will ask people to tell us on Facebook and Twitter what home and community means to them – and send us photos of what they love about Murrayville.”

And Chandler decided to launch the campaign by asking Township Mayor Froese to take a selfie with him at the new sales centre.

“We thought it was a fun touch since selfies are so popular. And we want the right people — the people who will call Murrayville House their home — to picture themselves here,” Chandler said.

‘Dream come true’ for Burroughs DEFENCEMAN SIGNS THREEYEAR NHL ENTRY LEVEL DEAL WITH NEW YORK ISLANDERS GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Kyle Burroughs has taken another step towards his ultimate dream of playing in the National Hockey League.

The 19-year-old from Langley inked a three-year entry level contract with the New York Islanders on Wednesday morning.

“It is a dream come true, really,” Burroughs said.

“I can’t put it into words right now, still trying to process it. “(But) excited to be a part of the organization.”

The Islanders drafted Burroughs in the seventh round (196th overall) in the 2013 NHL draft.

Burroughs played in the Langley Minor Hockey Association before jumping to the Western Hockey League.

Burroughs has spent most of his WHL career with the Regina Pats — including serving as captain during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons — before he was traded to the Medicine Hat Tigers earlier this season. In 250 career WHL games, Burroughs has 22 goals and 98 assists.

“It is just one of those things you work all year for,” he said about signing the contract now, adding that it removes any stress he may have been feeling about his hockey future.

“It is a nice feeling to have it

Kyle Burroughs has signed a three-year entry level contract with the NHL’s New York Islanders. The 19-year-old from Langley is in his fourth season in the Western Hockey League and is currently in the second round of the playoffs with the Medicine Hat Tigers. done. It is an awesome feeling.”

The Tigers are through to round two of the WHL playoffs where they face the Calgary Hitmen.

Last year, Burroughs joined the Bridgepoint Sound Tigers, the Islanders’ American Hockey League affiliate, after his WHL season

came to an end. He played in nine games with Bridgeport Sound.

But the team will not make the AHL playoffs this spring, so once

Burroughs’ WHL season comes to an end, he will return to Langley and begin working out in preparation for trying to stick with Bridgeport Sound next season.

He spends his summers working out in Langley with Impact Hockey.

If not, he could be back in the WHL for his over-age season or perhaps play in the ECHL. “We track a lot of different things statistically and he is one of our top guys every night,” said Medicine Hat head coach and general manager Shaun Clouston.

Clouston said Burroughs fit right in when the team acquired him back in January.

“A real character guy, likable, coachable. He has a real competitive nature and fit right in with the guys. He has been a great addition.”

Burroughs has offensive abilities but his biggest strength is his play in the defensive zone.

As for his potential in the game, Clouston believes Burroughs can excel.

“He is a hard worker and he competes every shift,” the coach said.

“It is the guys that have the drive and dedication, they keep getting better and better.”

“He competes hard but has a real even demeanor about him, plays with a lot of composure regardless of the situation around him and I think that is a great quality as well,” Clouston added.

As for any plans to splurge on something special to celebrate his first pro contract, Burroughs laughed it off.

“You have to be smart,” he said.

“It is your first contract, you can’t go too wild. I just want to set myself up for the future.”

Play ball: Blaze set to defend provincial title LANGLEY AMONG THE FAVOURITES IN B.C. U18 PREMIER BASEBALL LEAGUE GARY AHUJA Times Sports

The talent is there for the Langley Blaze to once again be among the elite teams in the B.C. Premier Baseball League.

“I think right now, we are one of the top two or three teams, and hopefully by the end, we are the top team,” said Blaze coach Jamie Bodaly.

“We have a lot of talent.

Our job as coaches is to push them and get them better.”

The Blaze went 35-12 in 2014 and capped things off by capturing the provincial championship.

And Langley returns nine players from last year’s title-winning team, including what should be the ball club’s top two pitchers, Kyle Ross and Cooper Misic.

Ross, a six-foot four lefthander, was 5-1 with an 0.85 earned run average in 41 innings pitched with 51 strikeouts.

Misic, a six-foot-six righthander, was 6-0 with a 1.40 ERA in 40 innings pitched, striking out 30 batters.

Two other expected big arms — Kristjan Storrie and Kurt Meeberg — are battling injuries but could potentially join the rota-

tion later at some point.

“Our pitching has more depth but not as high-end (as last year),” Bodaly said.

“I think our defence is going to be better than last year and our hitting is not as good as last year, but we are going to manufacture (offence).”

The offence will be led by returnees Hayden Jaco (.347 batting average, .400 on-base percentage) with 15 RBIs and Connor Chorpita, who was second on the team with 23 RBIs. He also had a team-high nine doubles and 12 extra-base hits. Chorpita and another returnee, Dakota Curry ,were also tied for the team lead with two home runs apiece. Curry also came up clutch at provincials back in August, delivering a walk-off bases loaded

double to score two runs and give the Blaze a 4-3 extra innings win over the North Shore Twins in the gold-medal game. And the day before in the semifinals, Curry was at it as well, hitting a two-run extra-innings home run for the 4-2 victory.

Langley also adds eight new players who have graduated from the Jr. Blaze ranks.

The U16 team won the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League title with a 37-7 record before losing all three of their games at the provincial championships.

Jake Polancic went 11-2 for the team with a 1.67 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 63 innings pitched while Yi-Fan Pan was 8-0 with a 0.78 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 53.2 innings pitched.

Both are right-handed pitchers.

Parker Logan, a left-handed pitcher was 2-2 with a 3.06 ERA. He struck out 48 batters in 48 innings.

Offensively, Yi-An Pan had 25 RBIs and Markus Gregson had 21.

Bodaly expects some sort of learning curve for the players new to the U18 level.

“I think by June they are going to get physically stronger and learn the game from us and take off,” he said.

The Blaze kick off the PBL season with a pair of doubleheaders this weekend, on Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park against the White Rock Tritons and on Sunday at McLeod Park against the Nanaimo Pirates (noon and 2:30 p.m.).

Langley enters the season on a bit of a down note as for the first time in six years, the team failed to win the Kamloops Best of the West tournament.

“We got humbled a bit in Kamloops and made a lot of mistakes,” Bodaly said.

“I think all that poor weather when we got back from Arizona, we weren’t on the field for about eight days so we went to Kamloops and looked like we hadn’t been on the field in like, two months.”

Prior to that, the Blaze had gone on the annual spring training trip to Arizona and they also won a tournament they entered in Las Vegas back in February.

“The kids have worked really hard (this spring),” Bodaly said.

Stealth struggles continue as team drops pair GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Just under one month ago, the Vancouver Stealth and the Edmonton Rush both sported 4-4 records and a share of top spot heading into that weekend’s clash.

But the two National Lacrosse League rivals have gone in opposite directions since that game, with the Rush winning five straight and the Stealth dropping five consecutive games.

The teams battled over the weekend in a National Lacrosse League home-and-home series, with the Rush prevailing 15-14 in overtime in Edmonton on Friday night before taking the return engagement 17-10 on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

With the wins, Edmonton (9-4) — as well as second-place Colorado (8-6) — have clinched playoff spots while Vancouver (4-9) tries to hold off Calgary (4-10) for the third and final playoff spot in the NLL’s West Division. “We made quite a few mistakes,� said Stealth coach Dan Perreault. “We gave up three goals in the first half because of no clock awareness. We have to be aware of the clock; those goals will kill you.�

He was referring to three separate occasions when Edmonton had just a few seconds until the shot clock expired and the Stealth let them get a shot off from long range, which found its way to the back of the net.

This included a goal at the very end of the first quarter, when only one second remained, to break a 2-2 tie. The Stealth did tie things up at four early in the second quarter,

GARY AHUJ A Langley Time s

Vancouver Stealth’s Rhys Duch came up short on his leaping attempt to score from behind the net against Edmonton Rush goalie Aaron Bold as the Stealth lost a fifth straight game, 17-10, at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night to fall to 4-9 on the season. but Edmonton tallied four times to close the period and led 8-4 at the half. “We got into a bit of a lull, fell back a couple of goals and could never get over that hump,� said the Stealth’s Logan Schuss, who made his Vancouver debut after being acquired ear-

lier in the week. “Edmonton’s a great team, and when you get down to them, it’s tough to come back.�

In Friday’s game, Vancouver led 7-3 at the half before the Rush stormed back to tie the game at 10 after three quarters. And Edmon-

ton pulled ahead 13-10 early in the third before the Stealth rallied with four of the final five goals, including Corey Small’s tally with seven seconds to play in regulation. But Zach Greer struck on the first shot of sudden-death overtime 45 seconds in to give Edmonton the win.

Small finished with four goals and six points, while Schuss finished with two goals and six points. Rhys Duch (two goals, six points), Joel McCready (three goals) and Tyler Digby (two goals, two assists) also had big games for the Stealth.

Edmonton was led by Robert Church in both games as he had two goals and six points on Friday and then tied a franchise record with nine points, including five goals, on Saturday.

Stealth rookie goaltender Eric Penney started both games after starter Tyler Richards was placed on the 10-day injury list prior to the weekend.

Penney had 39 saves the first night and then another 50 in game two. “Penney played a solid game last night and tonight,� Perreault said. “He made the first save and we didn’t box out and they (Edmonton) got second and third chances.�

Small led the team with three goals and five points while Schuss had a pair of goals and three helpers in Saturday’s loss.

The Stealth will look to snap their skid as they play a pair of road games this weekend, tonight (Friday) against the NLL-leading Toronto Rock (11-4) and Sunday against the New England Black Wolves (4-8).

Lepine rink crowned Canadian champs It was a historic victory as a team of curlers from Langley and Cloverdale became the first-ever B.C. women’s team to win the Canadian masters crown.

Team B.C. stole a crucial point in the eighth end to defeat Team Ontario 4-3 and capture the 2015 Canadian women’s master curling championships.

The gold medal game was on Sunday in Whitehorse, Yukon.

Skip Karen Lepine and her team — third Susan Beuk, second Donna Christian and lead Agnes Sigurdson — had lost to Ontario earlier in the week before bouncing back when it mattered most.

“I felt very calm going into the final,” said Lepine.

“I had been runner-up in the Canadian seniors and the mixed, so it was nice to have a chance to be able to play in a Canadian final again.”

The Lepine rink curls out of the Langley and Cloverdale Curling Clubs.

“In the eighth end, we had to

steal. We all made our shots and we had a piece of the button, with two perfect guards, forcing Ontario to draw to the button on the other side,” Lepine said about the crucial end.

The rink had a 7-2 record through the pool stages and qualified for the gold medal match after an impressive 7-0 victory over Manitoba in the semifinals.

Team Lepine had qualified for nationals after winning the 2015 B.C. master championships in Nanaimo last month.

“We are proud to be able to say that B.C. brought home the gold,” Lepine said.

“It was very special to play with my sister, Susan, my long time friend Agnes and my new friend Donna who stepped in to play with us four days before the zone playdowns started after a team mate was injured.

“I also appreciated having my hubby Craig there to coach us along as he was a calming factor for me.”

Ringette team helps win silver It was a silver lining for four local ringette players over spring break last month in Calgary, as the quartet helped Team BC come second at the 2015 Western Canadian ringette championships.

The squad lost 6-3 in the U14 AA division gold-medal game to Manitoba.

The Langley players on the squad were Isabella Sestito (defence), Amanda Yee (centre), Fiona Briner (centre) and Clare Fricke (goalie).

The team was made up of players from all over the Lower Mainland Ringette Association.

And during the ringette season, the quarter played up an age group with their Lower Mainland squad against U16 teams to better test themselves, both in league play and tournament play.

The team placed second at the Calgary Gold Ring tournament in January and sixth at the Edmonton Wood Tournament in November.

••• Langley’s Sarah MacDonald earned all-star honours at the 2015 Tim Hortons Canadian ringette championships in Wood Buffalo, AB. MacDonald was named a first team allstar after helping B.C. finish fourth in the U19 division.

She was one of a

handful of Langley players on the team, alongside Rachel Gauthier, Sydney Schwartz and Tiana Ollive.

••• A pair of teenaged swimmers may not have medalled, but they showed extremely well at the 2015 Canadian swimming trials.

Renae Ledoux, 15, and Hillary Metcalfe, 16, of the Langley Olympians Swim Club, were in Toronto at the Pan Am Sports Centre for the meet last week (April 1 to 4).

The prestigious meet featured the top swimmers from across the country and served as a selection meet for four international competitions — the Pan Am Games, the world championships, the FISU World Universiade Games and the world junior championships.

All four events are later this year.

Metcalfe qualified for four events while Ledoux did so in three.

Metcalfe swam personal bests in the 200 breast, 100 breast and 50 breast, just missing out on a place in the consolation finals of both the 100 and 50 breast events.

Ledoux achieved personal bests in the 100 and 200 breast events, and earned a place in the consolation final of the 100 event.

This electric vehicle is a gas draws an inflow of air to the fuel cell stack.

There is no combustion of hydrogen and the stack has no moving parts. The electrochemical process of combining oxygen and hydrogen in the fuel cell stack creates electricity to power the vehicle’s electric motor and charge an onboard battery. The only by-product of the process is pure water vapour, resulting in zero greenhouse-gas emissions.”

Acceleration is decent (0-100km/h in 12.5 seconds) thanks to its 221 lb-ft of torque.

And its 134 horsepower isn’t anything to scoff at, especially for urban driving.

At no point in my daily driving – highway or city – did I feel the Tucson FCEV lacked power.

It’s not the most endowed crossover, but it makes it up in other ways.

On a full tank, you can get upwards of 420 kilometres, which, considering the fuel cell EVs I’ve driven in the past had maxed out at 200 km, is pretty fantastic.

Then there’s the question of, where do you fill up? – Those who are considering applying to lease a Hyundai Tucson FCEV (more on that

By Alexandra Straub The Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell EV is a loud vehicle, though not in the way you might expect.

In fact, when it comes to driving it, it’s as quiet as they get on the inside and out.

But it speaks loudly of how future propulsion of our vehicles is evolving. This particular Tucson is powered by compressed hydrogen gas.

The concept of fuel cell EVs isn’t new. They’ve been around for years but Hyundai is the first automotive company to make hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles available to the Canadian public and it’s right here at the coast.

Living with one of these vehicles is pleasantly underwhelming. If you’re expecting it to be an otherworldly experience, you’ll be disappointed. I think that’s part of why I liked it so much.

It’s an electric vehicle to the core but the way that power is produced isn’t like any other EVs available to the public. Here’s a little bit of tech talk about how it works.

Luxury, power and performance at a bargain price

By Bob McHugh Hyundai Genesis is a large premium, five-seat sedan that offers upscale interior sumptuousness and top-end features for an unbeatable price, when new.

The premium sedan segment, however, has proven to be a challenge for a blue-collar tied Hyundai brand. On the plus side, this generally makes a previously owned and homeless Genesis an even better bargain.

The introduction of Genesis, in 2009, was targeted at vehicles like the BMW 5 Series, Lexus GS and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It matches its prestige competition in terms of size, luxury features, amenities and performance.

The external dimensions of Genesis are actually a little larger than a BMW 5 Series.

Drive goes to its rear road wheels and the ‘09 was offered with a choice of V6 or V8 engines.

The base engine is a 290-horsepower 3.8-litre (Lambda) V6 and city/highway fuel economy is rated at 12.9 / 8.6 L/100 km respectively, using the new 5-cycle rating method.

The V8 was a first for Hyundai and its 4.6-litre Tau series engine features dual overhead camshafts, producing 375 horsepower (on premium fuel). It also delivers decent fuel economy, considering its size and output, and is rated at 14.2/9.6 L/100 km (city/highway), using the

new 5-cycle rating method. A Genesis can get from zero to 100 km/h in a little more than six seconds, with this engine under hood.

Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift mode. The front and rear suspensions are sophisticated five-point multi-link systems with coil springs.

Hyundai was especially proud of the audio systems offered in Genesis. The optional Lexicon 7.1 surround sound audio system is a 528-watt, 17-speaker system and the Rolls Royce Phantom was the only other vehicle with this system. Ironically, according to Consumer Reports owner survey ratings, the audio system has been the most troublesome component in a Genesis.

A power sunroof and Bluetooth hands-free phone features were added as standard equipment for the 2010 model year. An optional Technology Package was also enhanced with smart cruise control, an electric parking brake and auto-dimming mirrors.

The 4.6-litre V8’s power output and fuel economy of were improved for 2011, with horsepower going up to from 375 to 385. Major powertrain changes came in 2012. The base 3.8-litre V6 got GDI (gasoline direct injection), which raised available horsepower from 290 to 333.

An all-new direct-injection 5.0-litre V8 also

replaced the 4.6-litre V8 in a new trim designation for Genesis called R-Spec.

Both engines came with a new 8-speed automatic transmission.

The 2012 Genesis also came with some styling revisions, which included a new grille and front fascia and new headlights with LED daytime running lights. No significant changes followed for the 2013 or the 2014 model year editions of Genesis.

Price Check: 2009 - 2013 Hyundai Genesis (March 2015) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2009 3.8 V6 $11,000 to $14,000 2010 3.8 V6 $13,000 to $16,000 2011 3.8 V6 $16,000 to $19,000 2012 3.8 V6 $19,000 to $23,000 2013 3.8 V6 $23,000 to $27,000

2009 – 2011: The stop lamp switch may fail and cause intermittent operation of the brake lights.

Dealers will replace the stop lamp switch.

2009 – 2011: A diode in the stop lamp circuit could fail, which could result in the brake lights failing to illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed. Dealers will repair the stop lamp switch circuit.

2009 – 2012: Corrosion could occur in the brake system Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit.

Over time, this could affect the control unit’s operation, causing a low/soft brake pedal and reduced braking effectiveness. Dealers will perform necessary repairs. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

While in Oliver, he became an avid golfer and curler and an inventor, earning himself two patents in the process.
