Langley firefighters had to use the Jaws of Life to extricate a driver trapped inside his mangled car, following a serious crash at the intersection of 264 Street and 56 Avenue on Tuesday night.

Just before 8 p.m., a 21-year-old man in a Toyota Tacoma was driving eastbound on 56 Avenue when it is believed he drove through a red light, colliding with a Subaru Impreza that was northbound on 264 Street.

Witnesses told police that the traffic light was green for northbound vehicles.

During the robbery, the owner’s wife entered the store and was also confronted and sprayed by the suspect.

She ran out of the business and flagged down a passing motorist for help, said APD.

The woman was able to provide police with a description of the suspect’s vehicle.

Township management ‘a bit lean’ report says Review by outside consultant released by municipality D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

A review by an outside consultant found the Township of Langley has roughly one-third fewer managers than other mid-to-large-sized Lower Mainland municipalities.

The “municipal staff benchmarking survey” carried out by KPMG found that the average number of “exempt” or non-union staff in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, Maple Ridge and Surrey was 107, compared to 73 in the Township.

Exempt employees are people who are excluded from the union bargaining unit, the majority of whom are managers.

KPMG reported that as of 2013, the six benchmark municipalities had an average of 11 exempt staff in their municipal administration divisions compared to three in the Township; 22 in corporate administration compared to 12 in Langley; 28 in engineering compared to 21 in Langley; 14 in finance compared to seven in Langley; 12 in parks and recreation compared to 11 in Langley; eight in human resources compared to six in Langley and 12 in community development compared to 13 in Langley (the only category where the Township had more exempt staff than average).

The data did not include fire and police.

An unsigned internal memo from the director of human resources to the municipal administrator says “on a straight number comparison, the Township exempt complement still appears to be a bit lean.”

The memo says the KPMG survey also found the “Township has fewer regular, full-time staff

and slightly fewer regular part-time staff, relative to our population.”

It did not give exact numbers.

The study was mentioned during a Monday Township council discussion of a staff proposal that would have added 14 full-time employees by redirecting money currently used to hire outside contractors.

The proposal was temporarily withdrawn by staff to make a “better business case,” Township CAO Mark Bakken said.

When councillor Charlie Fox said he “always felt our staffing is thin,” Bakken said a study by an outside consultant showed the Township has fewer employees compared to other communities.

C H A RLIE The Nov. 26, 2014 memo disFO X cussing the KPMG study was released Tuesday following a request by The Times.

The memo also refers to a 2013 Metro Vancouver municipal benchmarking report that found Langley Township exempt employees are managing more union workers than most Lower Mainland municipalities of similar or smaller populations.

The Langley ratio is one exempt staffer for every 12 union employees, more than Delta, where the ratio is one to eight, and more than the District of North Vancouver, where the ratio is one to four.

Among the 10 municipalities only Coquitlam has a higher ratio than Langley, one exempt staffer for every 13 unionized employees.

Conditions were dark and rainy at time of the crash From Page 1

At the time of the collision it was raining quite heavily and it was very dark, said Langley RCMP. The force of the crash sent the Impreza into a light standard.

The male driver of the Impreza was taken by air ambulance for treatment and is now in stable condition. The driver of the Toyota

was transported by ground ambulance for treatment of minor injuries. Both men were alone in their respective vehicles.

The intersection was closed to traffic for some time. Both vehicles were towed and will undergo mechanical inspections.

Charges may be considered for the 21-year-old driver of the Tacoma, said police.

Township looks at new approach to planning Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement releases report DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

Nine months after it began, a review by the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement has produced a series of recommendations.

They are designed to improve communication about development proposals between the Township of Langley and its residents.

“It’s almost like giving birth to a baby,” mayor Jack Froese said at the Nov. 23 afternoon meeting where the report was presented.

The committee was created after a proposal to densify parts of the semi-rural Brookswood/Fernridge neighbourhoods ran into a wall of public opposition.

During the ninemonth public engagement review, roughly 300 people attended three public events, more than 50 took

dealt with are aimed at “getting beyond the usual suspects, getting beyond the loudest voices.”

The slide show presentation listed 10 goals, among them to “use proactive and ongoing communication and education protocols, skills and tools,” and “go to where people are and use creative engagement tools to make it fun and easy to participate.”

A report by Froese to council said turning those principles into specific measures could include setting new rules for developer-funded public meetings on projects, better access to planning documents by “posting all materials in easy-to-find locations on project web pages” and circulating the material as well as correcting “misinformation and inaccuracies and respectfully respond in a timely manner.”

It could also include a YouTube channel to explain the fundamentals of the planning process.

At Coun. Kim Richter’s insistence, council voted to amended the wording of the report to make it clear that it was focused on the planning and development process, not all Township activities.

The report was referred to Township staff, who are expected to have an implementation plan ready by the spring of 2016.

A new agreement between the Township and the Agricultural Land Commission suggests protected farmland near the airport could be used for development.

DAN FER GUS ON L an gley Tim es

New deal on farmland

Township and provincial Agricultural Land Commission sign agreement D AN FERGU SO N Lan g l ey Ti m e s

A new agreement between the Township of Langley and the provincial Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) talks about using protected farmland to help development near the Aldergrove border crossing, local airport and Trinity Western University.

The eight-page memorandum of understanding on the Agricultural Land Reserve in Langley was signed on July 20 of this year at a special closed-door meeting of council but wasn’t made public until the Nov. 23 evening meeting.

Among other things, the document suggests land could be removed from the ALR to “accommodate economic development at the international border crossing at Aldergrove, the Langley Regional Airport and appropriate areas of the TOL’s (Township of Langley’s) University District (next to Trinity Western University).”

As approved by the Township, the university district is to be developed on 23.4 acres on the west side of Glover Road opposite the university, while another 48 acres is to remain protected farmland.

“The objective (of permitting development in the three mentioned areas) is continued protection of the ALR while also ensuring continued success of each area as key economic drivers in (Langley Township) and within the region,” the memorandum states.

A need for a “de-

fensible and durable urban/ALR edge” to form a buffer between farms and residential neighbourhoods is mentioned as well.

The section says the Township and ALC will consider “adjustments” to the municipality’s official community plan and the ALR “to ensure creation of a well-defined permanent edge for

urban communities within a permanent rural setting.”

In addition, the document talks about the “need to move from a reactive model of responding to issues and challenges to proactive and more collaborative planning approach” in the future.

In response to a question from Coun.

Kim Richter at the No-

vember meeting, the agreement was described by Township CAO Mark Bakken as a “high-level … statement of intent” that is not “directly binding” on either the Township or the ALC. The protected farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve makes up roughly three-quarters of Langley’s 316 square kilometres.

A day it’s OK to be cheeky Stem cell drive saw huge turnout of students who had their cheeks swabbed in an effort to find a match for 18-year-old with leukemia

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

On Nov. 26, Trinity Western University’s cafeteria lobby was packed with students lining up to help a Langley teen in need of a stem cell transplant.

Students streamed in all day, lining up to have their cheeks swabbed in the hopes of providing a stem cell match that could help save the life of 18-year-old Jay Lutz.

Lutz, a Langley resident, was set to begin a communications degree at TWU in September, but was forced to postpone his studies when he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, just days before classes began.

“I came back from volunteering at a summer camp and I noticed my lymph-nodes were sore and swollen in my neck and armpits,” said Lutz.

Although he is vulnerable to flus and viruses, the Langley Christian grad attended the stem cell drive on Thursday, along with his mom and grandparents. His grandfather, Walter Lutz, baked 600 cookies and brought chocolate milk in appreciation of everyone’s efforts.

“After my neck felt swollen, I had a blood test. Then my doctor called and said to come to the hospital right away and bring a parent,” he said.

From there, Lutz underwent chemotherapy.

But his doctors feel his best chance avoid a relapse is a stem cell transplant. His parents can’t be a match and his brother is a 3/10 match, but 10/10 is optimum for it to work.

A TWU biology student named Keenan Klassen heard Lutz’ story from his professor and wanted to help. He called Canadian Blood Services with an idea.

Together, TWU and CBS hosted the one-day stem cell drive in support of Lutz. Klassen believed the tight-knit university community would come together to help, and they did.

CBS director Anika McDonald pointed out that a steady stream of people were being swabbed all day.

Klassen, along with other TWU students, volunteered to explain to potential do-

Jay Lutz, 18, stands with TWU student Keenan Klassen who organized a stem cell drive at the Langley campus in hopes of finding Lutz a much-needed match for a transplant. Lutz was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the summer. nors what stem cell donation would entail if they were to be a match, and how to fill out the forms and get swabbed.

“It’s kind of cool—integrating support for general stem cell donations, which is a huge thing that we need right now, and also Jay’s story,” Klassen said.

“It’s a lifesaving program.

I’m pretty hopeful that he’ll be connected.”

Klassen, who has worked with CBS before, said it isn’t easy to find a 10/10 match, but this drive could mean a match for another person in Canada.

The stem cell swabs students offered that day go into a databank to be shared with other potential recipients. A donation may mean a phone call to help in two years or 10 years.

Klassen also was glad to demystify what goes on if you are called on to donate.

It can be a bone marrow donation which is a day-long procedure, he said. The donor is put under and marrow is taken from the hip bone.

Lutz said he feels “so blessed” that so many came out to help him.

“It’s amazing to see the constant flow of people signing

up,” he said.

Doctors have a plan for Lutz.

In January, he will be re-admitted to Vancouver General Hospital, where he will be given a haploidentical stem cell transplant from his brother.

It’s a partial match, but unless a 10/10 match comes along, it’s his best shot.

“If I get a 10/10 match, the risk factors are a lot less,” Lutz said.

He will have to remain in hospital for five weeks.

His parents have rented a home near there so they can be at his side.

“It’s going to be hard, but I have many people rooting for me and that means a ton.”

His mom Darice said it’s going to be a rough go for those five weeks because Jay is such a social guy and he won’t be able to go anywhere. The whole family will be by his side every day though, she said.

TWU and its biology club have a history of working with CBS, having given 553 units of blood to date through blood drives. So far this year, they’ve given 205 units.

Do we really have to say it?

December is upon us, which means Langley is already two weeks into the Christmas party season. And it’s only going to get busier.

Of course it should go without saying, but somehow, it never does.

Don’t drink and drive.

It’s a pretty simple, straight forward message, and not one that is all that difficult to abide by.

But of course, not everybody will. And police will no doubt hear the usual litany of worn-out excuses as they set up seasonal checkstops each weekend from now until the New Year.

The truth is, there is no valid excuse for getting behind the wheel when you’ve been drinking.

If you’re too frugal to take a taxi, get a group together and rent a limo. Or if you can find a friend who’s willing to take one for the team, designate them to be your driver. (But be sure to buy them something nice as a thank you — it’s the season of giving, after all).

Then there’s what we consider the obvious solution: book a ride with Operation Red Nose.

The whole reason for teams of volunteers to be out on the roads until the wee hours of the morning every weekend is to keep drinking drivers off them and, in the process, keep everyone else that much safer.

You get a ride home and, as an added bonus, your vehicle comes with you, so there’s no need to wander around in a haze the next morning, trying to figure out where you might have left it.

It’s hard to believe that with all the available alternatives, people still choose to drink and get behind the wheel. But they do, and ICBC has the sobering statistics to prove it.

During the month of December, an average of four people are killed in impaired related crashes every year in B.C. and, on average, 23 people are killed in crashes involving impaired driving in the Lower Mainland every year.

Those numbers are as unimpressive as they are unnecessary.

it gives you more incentive to make sure everyone else will be happy as well. I guess he’s being elfish, not selfish. Apparently it works great on his birthday as well.

Looking after yourself, making sure you are happy, is an interesting concept during a season designed all around giving. But after a month of running and spending and cooking and baking, wouldn’t it be nice to open a card and find that you had bought yourself a day at the spa or find a gift card for your favourite restaurant?

Think how great the Three Kings would have felt after travelling all that way and presenting the gold, frankincense and myrrh if they had also bought a gift card for the Bethlehem Keg and had a wonderful night out.

I think it would feel great walking through the mall crowd and back to your car that is parked half a mile away if you knew a couple of those bags you were carrying were for you.

You might be the only Black Friday shopper with a smile on your face.

But whether you bought on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, it’s going to take a month of Sundays to pay it all off.

At least that’s what McGregor says.

‘Get off computer Survey confirms and be a parent’ Langley is far from Editor: A while back I noticed a very disturbing trend at an elementary school in Langley City.

There were children using bad language and talking trash out in the schoolyard during recess, lunch and after school hours.

F-bombs were dropped here and there, homophobic slurs and other offensive words.

These children looked like they could pass for primary ages, ranging from kindergarten through Grade 3.

It’s absolutely disgusting and deplorable how children at such a young age are picking up on this abusive vocabulary.

One can only wonder if the adults are just as bad. After all, these kids had to learn it from somewhere.

It’s easy to point fingers at poverty, schools, and mental illness, etc., but at the end of the day, the responsibility rests on parents.

Unfortunately, in today’s world, there is no accountability anymore, as some parents choose to play the victim card instead. Consequences for bad behaviour are

extremely vital in helping children to learn right from wrong so that they grow up to respect authority.

I would like to offer a word of advice to parents: you are responsible for your own child. While teachers can educate your children during school, there’s only so much they can do because it is your job to teach them right from wrong at home.

Even if you are feeling frustrated or angry about something, your best bet is to avoid using inappropriate language in front of your children; they see you as the main role model in their lives.

Also, get to know who their friends are so that you can rest assured they will avoid associating with other kids who often get into trouble at school.

For your own children’s sake, please take care of your household instead of rushing to see the latest likes on Facebook.

Time to get off the computer and be a parent.

M. BRIAN,

Time for CRTC to enforce ‘no pedestrian-friendly call’ list

Editor: While I’m skeptical that people in Langley are “fatter and sicker” due to higher BMIs, a recent survey has certainly validated an issue in my hometown: Langley is not a very pedestrian-friendly city.

Growing up in Langley, I’ve seen hayfields sprouting outlet stores atop vast parking lots, linked to arterial roads snarled with traffic queuing at intersections as drivers wait to make that scarce left turn.

I’ve seen bushy acreages bulldozed into townhouse complexes with few amenities for public transit or retail.

I’m not anti-car but I know well enough that strip malls and outlet stores are, perhaps, not the most efficient way to plan a retail district, especially with higher-density housing close by. I would have preferred mixed use, commercial-residential zoning: business on the ground, living space up top.

Perhaps our follies stem from the lack of co-ordination between Langley Township and Langley City in their schism of governance, perhaps the Langley Bypass should have been a limited access freeway or perhaps past planners were simply too nearsighted.

As for my skepticism about Langley being “fatter and sicker” — perhaps people in Langley have bigger muscles from lifting that BMI rating.

PETER LENKO,

into our country will be grateful to this country, which welcomes them.

A country, which they can now call home.

The majority of refugees will most likely become proud Canadian citizens and contributing members of our society. And make a difference.

The 25,000 Syrian refugees immigrating to Canada is a drop in the bucket compared to our Canadian population. Canada can easily absorb these refugees. And surely, the risk for us is substantially minor in comparison to the benefit for these people and possibly our country, long term.

The problem with fear is that it often tends to produce the very thing that one is afraid of.

CORA GOODYEAR,

Editor: Decades of non-action by each government in power has led the population of Canada to deal with the CRTC no-call list on their own.

Taxpayers are paying for a dysfunctional system that is supposed to protect 35 million Canadians from unwanted calls on their home phone and cellphones. Well, it doesn’t work.

And, in fact, you never hear anything back from the CRTC regarding your complaints about these bandits.

The most vulnerable in our society, who have little money and limited minutes on their cellphones, keep paying for unwanted calls and the burden is on them.

Low-income people and seniors, as well as all Canadians, are paying for an unwanted call and the CRTC is getting paid by the taxpayer to do a job that they can’t do, won’t do or don’t have the means to do.

Either way the legislation and means should be found to deal with this, because it’s been going on for decades.

Canada, with its 35 million population and telephone companies, can not be so backward that they cannot figure out how to stop these highly irritating, annoying and intrusive calls from coming into our homes, eating up our time and money.

Businesses out there should be — and probably are — annoyed as much as I am and your neighbour is about getting these time-and money-wasting calls.

The time is now to actually to do something for 35 million Canadians.

Fix the problem. I’m tired of paying for something that is archaic and dysfunctional.

CRAN CAMPBELL,

LANGLEY

SURREY

Perspective, compassion called for amid crisis Editor: There is a fear among Canadians that within the number of 25,000 Syrian refugees immigrating to Canada there may be ‘jihadists’.

The reality is, yes, there may be some terrorists who will sneak through. There is no guarantee this will not happen. It is difficult to do security checks on Syrian refugees because background information may be non-existent.

Syria does not have its infrastructure now — data sets, police and intel services do not exist.

But four million Syrian refugees have left war-torn Syria since 2011. The UN high commissioner Antonio Guterres said in 2014, “the Syria crisis has become the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era, yet the world is failing to meet the needs of refugees and the countries hosting them.”

Concern for our fellow man warrants seeing the refugees’ plight, feeling compassion, taking action to help (even when not knowing whether they are friends or enemies).

Adaptation in Canada will be difficult for these new refugees.

They may have to learn a new language, obtain employment and adjust to our culture, in order to succeed.

They may even have to struggle with overcoming past trauma. And there will be a cost to Canadians (each Syrian refugee could cost $40,000 in the first year) and that cost could mount if the refugees are not able to work right away for various reasons.

Yet, any hardships or discomfort we may experience will likely be minimal compared to the hardships new immigrants will have to face.

Hopefully, these Syrian refugees coming

Soon after, students in the James Kennedy Nature Club planted 35 native shrubs around the trees. They got it all done before temperatures dipped and the ground froze.

“It was thrilling to see the children so excited,” said parent and club co-ordinator Melissa Rolfson.

“They chose which plants they wanted for our school grounds, dug the holes and carefully planted the native species — everyone participated.”

Students at James Kennedy Elementary have been busy planting their future outdoor classroom.

The Walnut Grove school recently received $1,270 in funding from Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds, a national program that helps create inviting school grounds with diverse natural features. They also received $200 from NatureKids BC, a provincial non-profit group that helps connect children with opportunities to explore nature. The funding will support James Kennedy Elementary’s greening project to create an outdoor classroom and natural playground.

The new outdoor classroom and natural playground will give students the opportunity to learn about and connect with nature on their own school grounds.

The classroom and playground will consist of native trees, a native plant garden, logs and boulders for outdoor classroom seating, an imaginative play area, and a food garden.

“We had a muddy hill with a drainage problem on our primary play area that needed to be improved. We knew we had an opportunity to give our students something special,” said teacher Marlee St. Pierre.

Less than a week after learning that the school had been chosen to receive the grant, eight large native trees were put in the ground by the school

An Abbotsford man who underwent brain surgery in the U.S. because the procedure is not covered in Canada is back home and recovering.

Tom Kettering’s surgery, which was performed Nov. 17 in Los Angeles at the Mission Community Hospital, removed a tumour that had been causing him blinding headaches for the last 20 years.

According to posts on social media, Kettering, an Aldergrove Secondary grad, has experienced a lessening of his pain since having the surgery and was able to fly home on Monday.

He was not yet available for comment.

Kettering and his wife, Christina, had sold off their business interests and heavy equipment, put their home up for sale and taken out a major bank loan to cover the $250,000 procedure.

They have also been supported by more than $42,000 in donations on a crowdfunding website.

Q: Should I have my wisdom teeth removed?

TISSOT

A: It depends. Wisdom teeth are often

“impacted”. This means that they are unable to reach their normal position in the mouth. Impaction may be due to the lack of room in one’s jaw, or a misaligned path of eruption (the tooth Dr. Cheung, DMD is “growing in sideways”). Sometimes, Dentist the tooth has broken through the gum surface but can’t grow into the proper position. In these cases, it is not uncommon for the wisdom teeth to develop cavities, periodontal disease, infection in the gums, or to cause damage to adjacent teeth. If you are experiencing pain around your wisdom teeth, it may be due to one of those reasons and the tooth should be assessed by your dentist for extraction.

It may not be necessary to extract wisdom teeth that are completely impacted in the jaw bone. However, it is possible that those teeth may develop or cause problems later in life, and they should be monitored by your dentist.

Chef Wassef Khouri with some of his creations. His new venture, MCC Meals catering, officially opened in Langley City last Saturday (Nov. 28).

Record-breaking night for KPU Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) held its biggest awards night yet, with hundreds of KPU students taking home a record-breaking $810,000 in scholarships, including 64 students from Langley.

Hosted by the KPU Foundation at Richmond’s River Rock Casino Resort on Nov. 19, the 27th annual scholarships and awards dinner saw around 450 students, donors, guests and KPU representatives come out to celebrate student success and achievement.

The event was the biggest awards night in the university’s history, with the most dollars donated and most awards — over 550 — received.

“As a result of this financial investment from donors, we are able to focus on our studies and balance our other commitments, instead of having to worry about the money needed to fund our education,” said Sarah Quinn, a classical voice performance student.

Beyond providing students with recognition and financial support, the event allows donors to meet their award recipients and network with future potential employees.

“For our donors, it’s an opportunity to see the level of excellence that their investment is providing,” said Steve Lewarne, CEO of the KPU Foundation.

“For our students, it serves as an opportunity to offer their thanks to the individuals and corporations that have made their education at KPU a reality.”

BC & Ontario Poised for Canada’s Strongest Economic Growth in 2016 which drove down borrowing costs and in turn helped to boost housing activity in many markets. Housing has been strongest in Vancouver and Toronto, but certainly not in the rest of the country. We’ve seen a sigAtlantic provinces as a result of the steep drop in oil prices since mid-2014. I expect housing activity will slow a bit in Vancouver and Toronto in 2016. It will still be strong, but just not as strong as it was in 2015 in B.C. and Ontario.

Where do you see mortgage prices heading?

Mortgage rates in Canada are at generational lows. I mortgage rates are over. Instead, I think we’ll see a gradual increase in rates, which will lead to a gradual slowdown in housing activity in the coming months, by about a half a percentage point over the next year, huge decline in commodity prices.

It’s not a great story for the Canadian currency. I think we’ll see more downward pressure on the Canadian dollar next year, as a result of a rising American dollar as its economy gains steam and the Federal Reserve hikes interest rates.

thriving and let their owners share in their own words why they chose to locate here in the Township.”

Featuring companies ranging from small retail outlets to large professional services, the video outlines the many business assets that the Township specifically has to offer.

Named one of the Top 7 “Best Cities for Work in BC” by BC Business Magazine in 2014 and one of the Real Estate Investment Network’s Top 10 “Investment Towns in BC” in 2015, the Township of Langley is the hub of the Lower Mainland.

Featuring an expansive transportation network with easy access to Vancouver and international borders, the Township is home to several world class educational and research facilities and has access to a well-trained work force.

More than 7,000 businesses operate in the Township, covering 550 distinct economic activities. Of those, 14 of the top 82 largest manufacturers in Metro Vancouver are located in the Township of Langley.

“A diversified economy is critical to sustaining our healthy commercial climate,” said Gafka. “The greater the variety of business sectors, the better the opportunity we have to maintain a viable economic strategy and plan.”

She noted that, with three-quarters of the Township’s land located in the Agricultural Land Reserve, the Economic Development Department is looking at new strategies to make the best use of the existing lands available and developing innovative partnerships and opportunities that will help businesses succeed and expand.

The video, along with an accompanying lifestyle attraction video that showcases the Township’s mix of urban and rural lifestyles, beautiful scenery, and many opportunities for employment, recreation, and education, was filmed by Langley’s Jef Gibbons.

The business and lifestyle attraction videos can be viewed on the Township of Langley’s YouTube channel.

‘Not every school district is as committed as you’ Langley featured for energy-saving efforts

M ONIQUE TA M M ING A Times R ep or ter

Langley School District appeared in BC Business magazine, featured for energy saving efforts that have landed it in B.C. Hydro’s elite group of Top Ten energy savers.

Competing against other schools,

universities, hospitals, malls and even BC Ferries, Langley came out in the top 10, having saved 8.6 million kilowatts since partnering with B.C. Hydro in 2008.

The concept has saved the district $795,000, said B.C. Hydro’s Wayne Cousins, who presented an award to

the district at its last board of education meeting.

Langley has reduced its electricity consumption, and saved the district money by upgrading lighting, converting to energy efficient boilers (for which the district got rebates) and having computers go into pow-

er saving mode at night.

The three new schools — Richard Bulpitt Elementary, Lynn Fripps Elementary and Yorkson Creek Middle School — were built to strict LEED environment standards.

“Not every school district is as committed as you,” said Cousins.

SELLING YOUR HOME

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Selling a home: de-personalizing is key

By Nicolle Hodges

We all know the saying “dress to impress,” when it comes going out for the night. The same can be said for a home when getting it ready for sale. It’s all about presentation, minding the small details, and taking your personal touch out of the equation. Freshening up rooms with a splash of paint, polishing handles, and de-cluttering closets are just some of the basics when it comes to preparation.

While there is no telling what will cause a buyer to sway one way or another, Louise McKnight, real estate agent and co-owner of Bay Realty, says that everyone loves a bright home.

“Open the drapes, clean the windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage of your light bulbs, and cut the bushes outside to let in sunshine,” she suggests.

“Do what you have to do make your house bright and cheery – it will make it more sellable.”

Also, consider that not everybody is a dog- or cat-lover.

“Buyers don’t want to walk in your home and see and especially smell animals,” McKnight says.

“Take a critical look and sniff to see if your home is smelling fresh.”

Next comes a no-brainer: fixing anything that is broken.

“If you are [aware] of things that need to be repaired such as faulty light switches, leaking pipes, it’s a good idea to have these taken care off before your home goes on the market,”

she says. “The more items on the inspection list to repair the more concerned the buyers can become.”

McKnight says that the kitchen is a very important room in your home, and if you can afford to spend the money on new appliances, you will see [a] return. As for the fastest, most inexpensive kitchen updates, she advises new cabinet hardware, and painting using a neutral-color paint so you can present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start envisioning their own style.

Simply put, the more personal stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can imagine themselves living there.

“One of the most important things to do when selling your house is to de-personalize it,” she says. “Leave some family photos as you want to give a homey loving feeling but don’t have photos throughout the house, after all they potential buyers are there to look at the features of your home and family photos can be very distracting.”

No matter how good the interior of your home looks, McKnight says that buyers have already judged your home before they walk through the door, and you never have a second chance to make a first impression.

“People make up their minds within 30 seconds of entering your home if it’s the home for them,” she says. “Its crucial to have a warm welcoming clutter free entrance. A sparkling clean home free of clutter keeps the

buyers focused on your home and not your stuff.”

This is where hiring a home stager like Scotty Rolland, Owner Scotty Rolland Home Staging, could help relieve some of the pressure of making a home perfectly pleasing to the eye by maximizing its attributes and minimizing the flaws. It all comes down to making sure the answer to the question, “can you picture raising your family here?” is a yes.

“My job is to make the square footage look larger, make sure every square foot is ‘lived in,’ even a small corner in a stair landing or laundry room,” she says.

“Remember, you are selling a ‘lifestyle.’”

For example, Rolland says

when staging a home around a much sought after private school where the existing homeowner's children attend, she wants the potential buyer to see this with awards, school uniforms, and so on. However, a family picture of Disneyland will not entice buyers.

According to Rolland, some common mistakes people can make when trying to sell their home is trying to stage on their own.

“You are selling the most important investment in your life [so] you are too emotionally involved. Hire someone who knows how to do this,” she says.

It’s important to know what you are competing against, and a home stager will have an eye for bringing out the best of a room or

unused space.

“Do all the houses for sale in your neighbourhood have a wine cellar, a home gym, or a main level office?” asks Rolland. “Create these even if you do not have them, for example, set up a table with a wine tasting in one of your rooms [or] add a treadmill to your over sized laundry room.”

If you are looking to hire a company that does home staging, she advises questioning their success rate, asking for Realtor referrals, making sure they are a local company so they know the market, and checking how long have they been in business, which includes asking for sample photos.

The bottom line is that the first impression is the only impression, so it’s important to get it right.

“A sparkling clean home free of clutter keeps the buyers focused on your home and not your stuff.”

Ring’s game comes full circle Troy Ring was drawn to hockey when a billet player came to live with his family. Now he is back in Langley, this time a billet player himself.

GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

It was a billet player who got Troy Ring’s attention years ago, and now the 18-year-old has the same opportunity to do so for another young child.

Ring, the latest acquisition by the Langley Rivermen, wasn’t the stereotypical Canadian kid, out on the ice as soon as he could walk and living and breathing the game of hockey.

Sure, Ring liked hockey, but he did so as a fan, not as a player.

That all changed when the Ring’s became a billet family.

Ryan Riddle, the starting goaltender for the Langley Hornets, moved in with the Ring family for the 2005/06 junior A hockey season.

“Just having him around, he was like a big brother,” Ring said.

He was eight years old, and along with his brother and parents, attended every Hornets home game at the George Preston Recreation Centre.

Ring was drawn to the sport by the environment at those home games and that, combined with a desire to try a new sport, led to him giving hockey a try when the family moved to North Vancouver the following year.

Up until then, Ring had focused on football and baseball.

And despite the later start in the sport, Ring’s game has some

shine to it.

He played a year of house hockey with the North Vancouver Minor Hockey Association before advancing to the rep level. His play even garnered him a late round selection in the 2012 Western Hockey League bantam draft with the Portland Winterhawks selecting Ring.

Ring went the junior B route, spending the past two and a half seasons with his hometown North Vancouver Wolf Pack, helping the club win the league championship last season.

But Ring always envisioned making the jump to junior A. Ring actually attended camp with the Surrey Eagles this summer, but failed to land a roster spot.

Disappointed, but not deterred, he returned to North Vancouver for his third season of junior B. “I wanted to have a good start with my team and get picked up halfway (through the season) and that is what happened here,” he said. “I just wanted to prove myself and show I can play at this level.”

In 21 games with the Wolf Pack, Ring had seven goals and 21 points.

When he left North Vancouver, he was the leading scorer in the PJHL among defenceman.

He has been on the Rivermen radar for a while.

G A RY A HUJ A Times S p or ts

With Christmas just around the corner, the Langley Rivermen have not been in a giving mood.

The junior A hockey club has allowed two goals or less in five consecutive games, four of which have been victories.

The Rivermen continued their stellar defensive play

Defenceman Troy Ring keeps Prince George’s Jordan Funk in check during last week’s 4-1 Langley Rivermen victory at the Langley Events Centre. Ring is the team’s latest addition, making the jump from junior B where he starred with the North Vancouver Wolf Pack.

“Troy has had a pretty good junior B career,” said Langley coach and general manager Bobby Henderson.

“He has gotten progressively better each season and we have been tracking him a while. We kept our eyes on him.”

He played one game as an affiliate player for Langley in early November and did not look out of place.

“He jumped in right away and

That prompted the team to trade one of their defenceman back east for future considerations and use the open roster spot on Ring.

“I’m not too flashy; I will make the simple play to the forwards, but am not afraid to jump up in the rush, either,” Ring said in describing his game.

Ring said the biggest transition has the speed of the game at this level, as well as facing stronger players.

“You just have to make quicker decisions,” he said. “But I think I am adapting pretty quickly.”

we are a team that will get better as the season goes on,” Henderson said.

“We had a good start, the grind caught us a little bit a few weeks back but the guys got through that.

The team is back in action tomorrow (Saturday) as they visit the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, but they will be without goaltender Bo Didur and leading goal-scorer Justin Fregona.

Both players are at the Canada West camp hoping to land a spot on the team for the upcoming World Junior A Challenge.

Against Portland, Tyler Benson set up Chase Lang for his fifth goal of the season to give the Giants a 1-0 lead in the first minute of the second period, then Benson tallied an insurance goal with less than eight minutes to go as the team ended a six-game losing streak.

Stampeders going for gold against Spartans Touchdowns three plays apart were more than enough offence for the Langley Stampeders to slay the Chilliwack Giants.

The Stampeders defeated the Giants 37-12 on Sunday afternoon at McLeod Athletic Park in the provincial community midget football semifinals.

The victory advances Langley to the provincial final this Sunday, also at MAP, as the Stamps battle the Victoria Spartans at 6:30 p.m.

Kyle Clarot intercepted a pass

and returned it 70 yards for the score in the semifinal. Langley then recovered the ensuing short kick-off and one play later, Riley Carter scored from 30 yards out for a commanding 14-0 lead.

The Giants would score to cut the lead to 14-6 after one quarter, but Langley pulled away with two touchdowns of their own in the second quarter.

Simon Odong scored a receiving touchdown from quarterback Devante Wilson. Wilson also added a major of his own on a bro-

ken play. Nolan McMurchy also had a field goal in the period.

Odong would add a second touchdown later in the game after the Stamps recovered a fumble near midfield.

Langley will play in their third consecutive midget provincial championship final.

The opponent will be fourthseed Victoria, which upset No. 1 North Surrey Bears 20-17.

The Stamps were 9-1 in the regular season with their lone loss coming back in week two.

••• The North Langley bantam Bears season came to an end with a 24-8 loss to the Victoria Spartans.

An ongoing series of penalties left the Bears with poor field position throughout the first half.

North Langley was down just 10-0 at the half thanks in large part to the defence as Trevor Paulenz and Andrew Marshall both came up with interceptions.

Pablo Wigwigan had the lone Bears touchdown, scoring on an 18-yard rush. He finished the

game with 64 yards along the ground.

Quarterback Nick Lacroix completed six passes — four of them caught by leading receiver Connor Hurley — for 73 yards.

••• McLeod Athletic Park will play host to all of the provincial community football championship games all day Sunday.

The action begins at 9 a.m. with the last game the midget final featuring the Langley Stampeders at 6:30 p.m.

These include adaptive cruise control, traffic jam and active lane assists, and self-parking that responds to road markings, radar and satellite navigation data to keep the car on the straight and narrow. That technology enables the A4 to cruise up to 65 km/h autonomously, as long as you place your hands on the wheel every few seconds combing your hair or picking your nose. If you don’t you get a loud reminder! One wit suggested carrying mini clamps to replace your hands and enable you to snooze.

The current model base price is $38,500, don’t expect the prices for the three iterations of the 2017 model to vary too much in the bottom line.

“A visually appealing design, increased five-passenger seating, and an array of on-board electronics combine with the Volt’s inherent efficiencies to make the 2016 Chevrolet Volt a real winner,” Cogan said.

The all-new Volt delivers a total driving range of up to 675 kilometres.

Combined with EPA-estimated fuel economy of 5.6 L/100kms highway, Chevrolet expects owners to travel

1,600 kilometres between gasoline fill-ups.

“Chevrolet is all about bringing affordable electrification to our customers, and that is exactly what we did with the Volt” said Steve Majoros, Chevrolet marketing director. “For Volt to stand out in Green Car’s evaluation, it reaffirms Chevrolet’s commitment to being a leader in electrification.”

According to independent surveys, Volt owners are the most satisfied in

the industry, and 70 percent of those owners are new to General Motors.

The Green Car of the Year award is determined by an 11-member panel, and is based on fuel efficiency, Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board certifications, performance and affordability.

The other finalists were the Audi A3 e-tron, Honda Civic, Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Prius. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
