ROBIN BROWN ENDURED BEATINGS AND CONFINEMENT IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A NEW BOYFRIEND THAT WENT WRONG IN A HEARTBEAT KEVIN DIAKIW Black Press

Both eyes badly blackened and lacerated from his punches, she lay crouched in the car in the fenced-in parking lot on Annacis Island. As darkness fell, the temperature in the car dropped, and her body and mind became numb. The only sound she could hear was the incessant thrum of nearby refrigerator trucks. She once again wondered how she was going to escape, or whether she would even live to try. More than once, suicide seemed like the only solution.

says Robin Brown, now 48, who often felt death would be better than what she was going through. ••• Brown, a weightlifter and amateur boxer, had met Matthew Recknagel in 2011 at the gym where she worked out. Nineteen years younger than Brown, he was good looking, charming, smart and made her laugh. He was a body builder and mixed martial artist and Brown began training with him. In September 2013, they went out for coffee on a date and started seeing each other. However, Brown soon sensed something i

“I could tell he was starting to be controlling already,” she says softly. At the start, Recknagel insisted she text him all day, and accused her of lying — particularly about any dealings she had with other men, including her clients. On Oct. 17, 2013 she told him she was going on a business trip with her boss at the vitamin company where she worked. He forbade it, but she insisted. He punched her in her left eye, blackening it badly. Days later she sent Recknagel a text message: “We’re done.” He initially agreed, but he came to her house, let himself in with a key she had i hi d ld h h ld b k

up with him. He then punched her in her right eye, splitting her head open at the temple. While there, he took her cellphone, her computer, her purse, and wrote an email to her boss saying she quit. He then deleted her email and Facebook accounts. Brown now felt completely isolated, paralyzed with fear, and thought refusing his demands could be fatal. On Oct. 24, 2013, while Recknagel and Brown were driving to dinner, he began beating her about the back and shoulders. She rolled down the window, called for help, and tried to jump out of the moving vehicle.

Sketch released of hammer attacker HE IS O N E O F TW O M EN INVOLVED IN OCT. 18 AT TAC K MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A composite sketch of one of the suspects involved in the violent hammer attack on a Good Samaritan on Oct. 18 has been released. Langley RCMP is asking the public to study the sketch of a bald man with a neck tattoo, and call if they are able to assist with identifying the man. Police have received a few good tips since the brutal beating in Langley City, but no arrests have been made. On Oct. 18 just after 3 a.m., police were called to the 20200 block of 56 Avenue, right near the 7-Eleven. Police believe two men were in the process of robbing a woman at gunpoint

when they were interrupted by a Good Samaritan who tried to help. At that point, one of the suspects pointed the handgun at the man’s head. His partner in crime went to a vehicle and returned with a hammer which he then used to hit the victim in the head, kicking him at the same time. The victim lost consciousness for a moment and when he awoke, his attacker continued to hit him with the hammer and kick him while he was on the ground, said police. The two men ran to a newer silver car (possibly a Hyundai or a Toyota fourdoor) and fled. It is possible the vehicle had after- market, newer style cuts in the fender.

The victim was taken to hospital having sustained a serious skull fracture. The suspect in the sketch is described as possibly of Philippine descent, medium skin complexion, 6’1” tall, mid to late 20s, approximately 200 lbs., athletic build, bald and shaved and a tattoo on his neck written in script. He was wearing black clothing, dress shoes, dress pants and carried a man purse. The other male suspect is described as Caucasian, 5’10” tall, mid to late 20s, skinny, scrubby looking, wearing a hat and a white and red hoodie. If you have any information, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or if you need to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

‘Slow down’ says dog owner MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

A dog owner is making a heartbreaking plea for drivers to slow down in rural Langley after her beloved rescue canine was killed by a driver who kept driving along 216 Street. Wendy Warricks had taken her beloved Poppy, a twoyear-old cattle dog-pit bull cross, to a friend’s acreage at 216 Street and 24 Avenue, for a dog playdate on Oct. 28 around 5:15 p.m. Poppy is a rescue dog that came to the Warricks all the way from Atlanta, Georgia. She was rescued there and was looking for a permanent home. Wendy was looking online for a dog and fell in love with her picture. After passing several tests and jumping a few hoops, Poppy journeyed with volunteers who took on legs of the drive from Georgia to Langley. Poppy made it here two months ago, joining her sister dog Ava and the Warricks’ children. “We just adored her right from the start,” said Warrick. “She was part of the family. I was just starting to take her to dog training.”

Warricks said she let Poppy off leash inside the home to play but the dogs found a way outside. Warricks quickly gave chase but Poppy bolted down a ravine and towards busy 216 Street. “I ran after her and, as I stepped onto 216 Street, cars were driving so fast. I found her five minutes later dead. The driver hit her and just kept driving,” Warrick said. She can’t believe the person could just keep going. But several people driving by did pull over and offer their help and support, she said. Warrick said she knows she is to blame for letting Poppy off-leash but she hopes her tragedy can be a lesson for drivers in the area. “It’s such a narrow road. There is wildlife out there. This could have been a kid walking on that street. Slow down,” she said. She has been crying every day since Poppy was killed. “I feel bad for all the people who loved Poppy — as far away as Georgia and all who cared for her between there and here. Our family is devastated. She was family,” she said. She hopes her story will make drivers think of Poppy and think twice about speeding.

TWU law school may lose approval DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

Contr ib uted ph oto

Poppy was a rescue dog who came to Langley from Georgia. She was struck and killed on 216 Street.

Provincial advanced education minister Amrik Virk has warned Trinity Western University that he may withdraw approval of a controversial new law school at the Langley institution. The Monday, Nov. 17 letter from Virk to TWU president Bob Kuhn says it’s because of the legal battles between the private Christian university and the various law societies that refused to recognize the school, including the Law Society of British Columbia. That group recently

reversed a decision to approve the law school. Virk says his Dec. 18, 2013 approval of the law school requires the university to enroll its first students within three years, a deadline he doubts they can meet. “ … it seems unlikely that there will be a final determination by the courts with respect to the decisions by the various law societies … before my conditional consent will expire,” Virk says. “As a result, I am considering revoking my consent for TWU’s proposed law program.” See www.langleytimes.com for updates on this story, including a response from TWU.

People came from all over Langley, from as far as Chilliwack and as close as Maple Ridge, with vehicles loaded from front to back with bottles and cans to help with the first annual bottle drive in memory of six-year-old Keian Blundell at Langley Events Centre on Nov. 15. In total, $4,036.23 was raised, with all the money going to help families affected by childhood cancer, said Keian’s mom, Chantal Blundell. A large amount of the money raised came from Abbotsford teachers and students who have spent the last couple of weekends collecting bottles in their neighbourhoods. “It was our first event in hon-

our of Keian — the first of many,” said Chantal. “It was an extremely emotional day for Ryan and I. We are so appreciative of all our supporters that have helped us to not only spread the word, but also to help us to beat our original $3,000 goal by over $1,000.” Last year, Keian delivered 300 toys to BC Children’s Hospital and Canuck Place Children’s Hospice only two weeks prior to his passing. Keian died of cancer on New Year’s Day. The Blundells have set up Keian’s Holiday Wish Toy Drive to carry out their son’s wishes. This year, they hope to surpass the 300-toy mark. “It means so much to see others embracing Keian’s spirit; his legacy will live on in us all,” Chantal said.

The City of Langley is looking for input from residents as it makes plans to upgrade a pair of community parks. On Wednesday, Nov. 26 from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., the City will host an open house at Simonds Elementary School to gather feedback about potential improvements to Buckley Park and Penzer Park. Planning for Buckley Park aims to address future enhancements, which may include the addition of pathways, playground equipment, sports and picnic areas, park shelters and other amenities established as priorities through the public consultation process. Priorities for Penzer Park planning are targeted to address pedestrian access and walking loops, landscaping and how the park connects with 200

Street. The City hopes to provide seating, to improve the area as a community gathering space. Input from the public will also help to identify potential additional uses for enhanced sport and recreation facilities within the park. Final plans are subject to budget and council approval. “We encourage as many residents and user groups as possible to attend the open house to tell us what they would like to see in these two parks,” said Rick Bomhof, the City’s director of engineering, parks and environment. “Citizen feedback is critical to ensuring the parks are developed in a way that best meets the needs of our community.” Simonds Elementary School is located at 20190 48 Ave. For more information, call 604-514-2997.

Garden dedicated to discovery

proudly presents

BRUCE VAN GARDEREN ENCOURAGED STUDENTS TO FEEL THE DIRT

D A N F E RGUSON La ng ley Times

The daughter and wife of the late Bruce Van Garderen were among the family members who attended the Nov. 4 dedication of ‘Bruce’s Discovery Garden’ at Langley Meadows Elementary School.

Bruce Van Garderen had an impact on countless Langley Meadows students over the years as children visited Maple Discovery Gardens to learn about gardens and the natural world. With his passing in April, the Langley Meadows community lost a great educator and advocate for gardening, plants and nature which is why it was decided to name the newly constructed garden at Langley Meadows “Bruce’s Discovery Garden.” A founding member of Maple Discovery Gardens on 200 Street, and Langley Environmental Hero of 2010, Van Garderen’s passion was digging in the dirt. Langley teacher Lori Villeneuve, formerly at Langley Meadows, related a story in which a young student was handed a worm by Bruce. The student response was “shouldn’t we be wearing gloves?,” to which Bruce replied, “but then how will we feel the worm?” Since that time nearly every student that has attended Langley Meadows has held a worm and gardened without gloves to ‘feel’ the dirt, she said. Attending the dedication was Bruce’s wife Maria along with their children and grandchildren. Maria Van Garderen was joined by son Peter, daughter Elsabee Lyon and her husband Jeff Lyon and their children Alexa, Kristian and Wyatt, a current Langley Meadows student. His family was there for the unveiling of Bruce’s Discovery Garden. The Van Garderen family surprised everyone with a donation and card of thanks. The donation is to help purchase gardening tools or other supplies.

SAD can be caused by changes to the circadian rhythm of the body, or its biological clock. Changes in the amount of daily sunlight can disrupt the body’s natural rhythm and contribute to an imbalance in hormones like serotonin and melatonin. 5-HTP Is an amino acid that aids in transforming tryptophan into serotonin. Since 5-HTP is not present in signiﬁcant amounts in a typical diet, taking a supplemental form can be very beneﬁcial in improving mood and sleep.

Brown still living in fear

Raising awareness While men also suffer violence in intimate relationships, the majority of victims are female. Some facts about violence against women: • Half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16 • On average, every six days, a woman is killed by her intimate partner • On any given day in Canada, 3,300 women (and 3,000 children) are forced to live in shelters to escape domestic violence • Each year, there are 40,000 arrests resulting from domestic violence • Each year, Canadians spend $7.4 billion to deal with the aftermath of domestic violence

to stay in the front seat of his car hidden under a white wool blanket. Recknagel had taken Brown’s wallet, identification and keys; he had everything that belonged to her. She was told the car door was alarmed and if she tried to escape, Recknagel said he’d know before she could navigate her way around the eight-foot barbed wire fence. He would catch her, she remembers him saying, and he would beat her senseless. Brown learned quickly not to eat or drink before the nightly 10 hours of confinement, as there was nowhere to relieve herself. As a result, she lost 30 pounds. Court documents show Recknagel kept Brown confined in his Chrysler 300 at his place of work for 16 nights. On Nov. 28, 2013, she overheard him receive a call that he would have to drive delivery, meaning he would be away from the car. The following day was her opportunity — possibly her only chance — for escape. She had been gathering loose change for some time, and had accumulated a total of $25. That day she saw a cab pull up to drop someone off outside the gate. If there was any time to go, it was then. She opened the door, the alarm screamed, and she ran, feeling adrenaline course through her system. This was her one and only chance. She grabbed the cab and went straight to the police. Recknagel was arrested shortly afterwards, and was sent to jail to finish his previous sentence. He also faced new charges including unlawful confinement or imprisonment, uttering threats and six counts of assault involving Brown and another woman. He made a plea bargain and pled guilty to uttering threats and two counts of assault. He was sentenced to seven and a half months in jail. He had an opportunity for early release on Sept. 9 of this year, but opted not to apply. ••• Today, Brown still struggles with feelings of guilt and embarrass-

ment that she didn’t act more quickly to get out of the relationship. But things happened so fast. Brown often thought the only way to be completely free from her abuser would be by consuming a bottle of sleeping pills. “I thought he would never let me go.” She lives in fear of seeing him again. Brown’s therapist, Pauline Carey, said Brown’s experience is similar to battered woman’s syndrome, but at an accelerated pace. The cycle of violence didn’t include the hallmark “remorse” phase, in which the abuser promises to reform his ways, Carey says. Nonetheless, Brown felt trapped. “It’s as much a psychological limit as a physical limit,” says Carey, who has 30 years of experience treating people who have suffered trauma. “The fear is so great, you get the deer-inthe-headlights reaction. So it’s not possible to walk away.” It’s much the same, Carey says, as a child’s inability to walk away from a bad parent. The fact that Brown didn’t run away from Recknagel was actually “a very well-honed sense of self-preservation,” Carey says. Court documents say Recknagel is considered a moderate risk for “assaultive behaviour towards an intimate partner” and if he’s taking steroids, that risk climbs to high. His full jail term is complete on Feb. 9, 2015. When Brown looks back on the experience, she says it’s hard not to tally the loss. “I’ve lost my job, I’ve lost my livelihood,” she says, adding she’s also lost her sense of security. “Now I live having to look over my shoulder all the time… I still have anxiety when I see the types of vehicles he used to drive.” Worse, she’s lost some respect for herself. “I’m embarrassed that I went through this, because I saw the signs. “I tried to get out, but obviously I didn’t.” She’s sharing her story with Black Press in hopes that this won’t happen to any other women.

Question langeytimes.com

The municipal election is over, but the campaigning is about to begin all over again. Newly-elected mayors and many councillors will be lobbying voters to approve a referendum on TransLink funding, which will be held sometime in the first six months of 2015. Voices of dissent will be rare from elected officials, who never seem to have any trouble spending other people’s money. A 10-year comprehensive transit plan has been introduced, and it will likely be fine-tuned as the specific tax proposals from the mayors are laid out. The 10-year plan, introduced in June, called for $7.5 billion in spending over that time span. Spending plans include a hugely-expensive subway system down Broadway in Vancouver, from Commercial to Arbutus, to replace the busiest bus lines operated by TransLink, the 9 and 99. They also include two prongs of a LRT (Light Rapid Transit) system in Surrey, from Whalley to Newton and from Whalley to Guildford. Long-range plans call for extension of LRT down Fraser Highway to Langley City. Completion of that line is tentatively set for 12 years out. The 10-year plan also calls for expansion of bus and HandiDart service, and replacement of the Pattullo Bridge with a toll bridge. There would be B-Line service to Whalley and Coquitlam from Langley. At first glance, there is just a few crumbs in this plan for Langley residents. There may be some new bus routes, with Willoughby residents perhaps getting a new bus route on 208 Street with a chance to connect to other buses, or at least have a bus take them to an exchange where they can wait up to 30 minutes to make a connection. The likely tax options will be a car tax; boost in sales tax or regional carbon tax. None sound worthy of support, with so few specific improvements to transit in Langley. Were there a plan to implement a fair bridge tolling system, it might draw support here, but that seems unlikely.

of the week

Are you satisfied with the results of Saturday’s municipal elections in Langley?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Good for democracy they

The municipal elections in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows were good for democracy. Voter turnout was up in both cities, about two per cent in the latter and six per cent in the former. Across the province, voter turnout was up four per cent. So why the increases? What was happening this time that ignited voters who skipped the 2011 election? For one, there were two exciting races here for mayor. In Maple Ridge, political newcomer Nicole Read defeated two incumbents to become mayor. In Pitt Meadows, John Becker, who failed in his bid to become mayor in 2011, was successful this time, edging Michael Hayes. Each campaign was also highlighted by definitive issues, such as taxation in Pitt Meadows and sprawl in Maple Ridge. Other issues, such as transparency, crime and homelessness, were also key. Read was quick to credit social media for part of her success, although other candidates who used sites such as Facebook weren’t as successful. Becker and his team’s approach also proved successful, as did the slate for school board. Whatever the reason, more people participated in exercising their democratic right to vote. We hope they continue to show an interest in municipal politics, and have a say in the policies that govern both cities. Voters wanted change and they got it, in both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. All the candidates deserve our thanks for having the courage to stand for election. We can only hope now that, for the next four years, those who were elected keep listening, that they focus on what they can agree on, not what they can’t. And for those who weren’t elected, don’t go away. Democracy works best when more people are involved, as we just saw. — Maple Ridge News

Campaign disclosures awaited Editor: I would like to thank the Township of Langley councillors for raising awareness of influence and bias over the last three years. As a result of this awareness, Township residents have formed new tools to keep our leaders honest. Over the next four years we are sure to use these tools. I personally look forward to each newly-elected councillor’s declaration of campaign contributions, to see how they will be swayed as politicians by outside influences, and as a clarifying guide to

their character. Congratulations to the newly-elected mayor and council. We trust you will use a more down-to-earth approach over the upcoming term during which all of you, I’m sure, will listen to and be more inclusive of the people who matter the most: the voters (actual people, not business voting entities) and the residents of Langley. They deserve your full attention and your full regard. D. CHAMBERS, LANGLEY

Silent majority showed up Editor: Re: The mayor’s campaign in Langley Township. During the campaign, Rick Green took much pleasure poking his opponent with out of context quotes. Where Mayor Jack Froese said he not only listened to those who attended the public hearings, he had a responsibility to take into consideration the larger numbers of citizens who didn’t attend. One of Green’s favourite twisted punchline jabs was insinuating that Froese listened to phantom-like people who

weren’t there. Well, it looks like a lot of those silent majority make-believe people showed up at the polls, and voted to re-elect Froese as mayor. It also appears the Unelection Campaign did precisely that for Green, who first denied being directly involved with them. As Mark Twain said: “Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.” ROLAND SEGUIN, FERNRIDGE

Challengers’ votes scattered Editor: Langley Township residents spoke loudly in the recent election. There were 146,563 votes cast for councillor candidates — 72,786 for incumbents and 73,777 for non-incumbents. If there would have been only eight contestants challenging the incumbents instead of 14, and the same number of votes were cast for the challengers, then all but David Davis and Kim Richter would have

been ousted. It is ironic that the previous council caused so much havoc, which led to so many to run for council. This ended up splitting the non-incumbent vote, and only three challengers made it onto council. Yes, residents spoke loudly — but unfortunately they were not heard. J. BEAUMAN, LANGLEY

Price gouging by airlines Editor: Air Canada and WestJet should both be ashamed, for joining the gouging United States airlines, and starting to charge for bags. When this first started a number of years ago, the U.S. airlines justified it because of the high cost of gas and oil. Well, guess what — oil is dropping, and is at a five-year low right now.

This is nothing more than a blatant cash grab. I urge the travelling public to phone, and e-mail both airlines to urge them to stop this practice immediately. It is greed, greed, greed, and it’s disgusting. JACK MCEWEN, LANGLEY

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, his opponent in the recent election, Rick Green, and chief electoral officer Bob Wilson visited James Kennedy Elementary to explain voting and the democratic process to students, who later took part in voting on their own as part of Student Votes.

Voting explained Editor: The Times featured a great deal of information prior to the recent municipal election, and I want to share with you how my students have been involved in the process. As part of our government unit (Social Studies), students have been learning about the democratic process and the importance of voting. With such low turnout in municipal elections, it is important that our future leaders understand their responsibility to vote. To make this experience more interesting, I invited the three mayoral candidates in Langley Township to join us. Rick Green and Jack Froese spoke with students about their reasons for running for mayor and the importance of voting. Students asked them questions and I was very impressed with the amount of thought that went into their questions. I was so proud to be their teacher. The third mayoral candidate, Serena Oh, was also invited but unable to come.

Also, the Chief Electoral Officer, Bob Wilson joined us on Friday, Nov. 7. He brought an electronic voting machine and provided a demonstration which gave students an opportunity to participate in a mock election. This was so cool. This all worked up to our student vote, which was held last Friday, the day before the municipal elections. Student Vote is a parallel election for students under the voting age, coinciding with official election periods. Its purpose is to provide students with an opportunity to experience the democratic process firsthand and practice the habits of informed and engaged citizenship. This too was a great experience.

Megacity model called unlikely, risky METRO VANCOUVER’S 21 MAYORS AND COUNCILS SEEM TO B E H ERE TO STAY JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s

Taxpayers might save money if Metro Vancouver’s 21 separate municipalities — each with its own mayor, council and bureaucracy — could be merged into a single super city. But observers say even that premise is far from certain in the unlikely event the idea of amalgamation ever gets serious traction in this region. “I believe it could save money,” Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman said. “But you would have to hold a hard line on labour costs, which won’t be popular with the unions.” He said the risk with amalgamation is that the most expensive tax rates and labour deals across the region prevail rather than the cheapest ones, triggering tax hikes instead of cuts. That’s a key downside of shifting to a megacity model like Toronto or Montreal. “The big problem is

you lose tax competitiveness,” Bateman said. “As bad as our property taxes are, it’s helpful to taxpayers when Port Coquitlam, for example, feels like they’re competing with Port Moody and Coquitlam for residents and businesses.” Bateman said it would be smarter to pursue piecemeal mergers of nearby communities in the region where it makes sense to do so. Langley Township and Langley City should be able to join forces, he argues, and perhaps North Vancouver City and District. SFU political science professor Patrick Smith agrees sub-regional amalgamation is more viable, with Lions Bay and Bowen Island perhaps joining West Vancouver, or Belcarra and Anmore joining Port Moody or Coquitlam. Megacity amalagamations have generally failed to deliver on promised savings, he added. And while it might

be popular to purge many of the politicians who currently prowl the region for votes — Ontario Premier Mike Harris dubbed his 1996 municipal amalgamation legislation the “Fewer Politicians Act” — Smith said many residents prefer a smaller local government that’s more responsive to their wishes. Delta, with its nocall-too-small-policing, has fiercely opposed any talk of a move to a regional police force, which would be a less dramatic step than full municipal amalgamation. “I don’t think there’s any inclination on the part of the participants to go there,” Smith said. And if Metro municipalities don’t volunteer it’s unlikely the provincial government would ever force them together. Former Premier Gordon Campbell en-

trenched a promise the province would never forcibly amalgamate cities when he created the Community Charter. Other problems would plague a serious push for amalgamation as well — such as deciding where to draw borders. “If the province said ‘Let’s fix the region’ what’s the region you’re trying to fix?” Smith asked.

“Does it include Abbotsford? Does it include Chilliwack? The Gulf Islands?” Then there’s the optics of having one mayor rule an entire region, which was problematic even before Toronto mayor Rob Ford confessed to smoking crack. A green-minded mayor from Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood might grate in Langley, while a Ford-style suburban conservative would be unpalatable to down-

town urbanites. Wards would be have to be created to preserve representation for smaller cities or else the megacity would be dominated by politicians from populous Vancouver and Surrey. Instead, Smith says the federated model of municipalities working together within the Metro Vancouver regional district to jointly deliver utilities like water and sewage has generally worked well. Regional districts in

the Lower Mainland flowed out of the massive flood of 1948 and Smith predicts it would take some similar catastrophe to topple the current structure and move to a megacity. “You’d need a crisis of some sort, it could be a flood or an earthquake,” he said. “But we’ve had that kind of crisis in social terms with the missing women and nothing’s happened,” he said, referring to the discarded recommendation of regional policing reform.

If you are aware of a bear in your area, make sure to secure your garbage. Bears will not hibernate if they have access to this food source. Feel free to use bird feeders in the winter months. Birds need nutrition from seeds during this time of year, and the bird food will not attract bears, as they are away hibernating.

In Agricultural Areas:

The Township of Langley is full of wildlife habitat and people share the area with animals including bears, cougars, and coyotes.

Bears: During the winter months, bears are in hibernation and do not be seen at any time. Cougars survive on natural food sources found in the wild, primarily deer. Cougar attacks on humans are highly unlikely. However, if you encounter a cougar, do not run. Pick children up immediately and talk to the cougar in a confident voice. Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, fight back.

Coyotes: have the largest population of potentially dangerous wildlife in the area and can be seen year round, even in residential areas. Family groups have been regularly seen around Langley.

Coming Events

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

Full Cupboards the goal

$5 donation will buy blankets for Gateway of Hope shelter

ENVISION PROGRAM UNDERWAY Envision Financial has launched its Full Cupboard Holiday Program for a fifth consecutive year, to help spread some holiday cheer to those in need in Langley and other communities where it does business. Last year, over 1,800 gifts and 5,974 pounds of food were collected through this program for families and individuals in need. This year, the team at Envision Financial is hoping to collect even more. “The feedback that we receive from our community partners on our Full Cupboard Holiday Program has been extremely positive,” says Susan Byrom, manager of community investment at Envision Financial. “Food Bank Canada’s HungerCount 2014 revealed that B.C. food bank usage is up 3.6 per cent, and 30.8 per cent of food bank users are children. That’s why we are so proud of our Full Cupboard Holiday Program. By participating in this initiative, local residents have the opportunity to give a gift worth giving and make the holidays brighter for families, children and seniors in our communities.” As of Monday, all Envision Financial locations are displaying a decorated Christmas tree with Full Cupboard tags containing gift suggestions for a child or senior in the local community, as well as tags representing the most wanted food items from local food banks. Members of the community are invited to make a meaningful difference by taking an ornament from the tree and returning it with a new and unwrapped gift, food or cash donation by Dec. 13. All gifts and cash donations will be delivered to a local non-profit agency, food bank or Christmas Bureau. In Langley, the Full Cupboard Holiday Program is proud to be partnered with the Langley Food Bank, Langley Christmas Bureau and Langley Senior Resources Society. The program was renamed The Full Cupboard last year. It is Envision Financial’s innovative program designed to raise food, funds and awareness for local food banks. Through this initiative, Envision Financial has committed to raising $1 million for local food banks in the next 10 years. To date, Envision Financial has raised over $176,000 and more than 17,300 pounds of food for food banks in B.C.

Trio tie up, rob man who invited them UFV shuttle bus ready into his home in middle of the night to roll into Langley

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

A Langley City man was tied up while several strangers he invited into his home robbed him of most of his possessions in the middle of the night on Nov. 5. Police have released a surveillance image of one of the suspects and descriptions of all three, in hopes they can track the culprits. Around 2:30 a.m., on Nov. 5, Langley RCMP was called to a robbery at an apartment in the 5600 block of 201A Street. The victim had invited the three suspects to his home after a brief meeting at a convenience store. Once they were at the victim’s residence, the suspects threatened him with a knife, tied him to a chair and stole a variety of items. Stolen items included his wallet containing his ID, miscellaneous jewelry, a Playstation 3, a 22” flat screen television, two pairs of Oakley sunglasses, a pink Fender squire electric guitar, a Samsung Ace 2

cellphone and some cash. Suspect #1 is described as Caucasian, in his 30s, 5’8” tall, with a swollen left hand and wearing a green checkered jacket. Suspect #2 is described as Caucasian, 6’2” tall, 25 years old, muscular, wearing a brown jacket and black hoodie. Suspect #3 is described as Caucasian, six feet tall, wearing all black clothing, black gloves, Nike Shox shoes with an orange swoosh.

School trustees sad manifestation Holiday Craft Fair of modern local democracy Saturday Nov. 22nd 9 am - 4 pm

The saddest manifestation of British Columbia’s modern democracy has produced its judgment, with the election of school trustees for the next four years. There are still independent, community-minded trustees, but mostly “boards of education” have become the neglected, exploited stepchild of B.C. politics. Teacher union locals and CUPE-dominated “labour councils” organize candidate forums and ask most of the questions, often to former teachers holding and seeking school board seats. Unions finance the campaigns of those who pledge to act as a bullhorn for constant demands for more provincial money, and instruct their members to vote for what should be called the Conflict of Interest slate. This has been going on for so long in B.C. it is seen as normal. Trustees who most loudly plump for their union masters tend to win, thanks to low turnout. The public mostly doesn’t give a damn, since school property tax authority was centralized in Victoria many years ago, largely because of this special interest pressure. The classic case is in Coquitlam, where one could almost hear the theme from The Godfather as local CUPE boss Dave Ginter appeared before the board of education in February. He informed the elected trustees that their collective financial acumen wasn’t up to his standards and some of them would have to go this fall. “Obviously, the chore I have is to find new trustees,” Ginter clar-

ified in an interview with the Tri-City News as the union’s candidate selection machine stirred to life. Ginter seems to have made them an offer they couldn’t refuse on Saturday, with formerly union-blessed trustees turfed out in favour of a new group. Then there’s Vancouver Island, where the 1970s survived, at least until Saturday night. Cowichan school board got itself fired by the province in 2012 for refusing to submit a balanced budget. Two of the trustees who think the job is to flout the balanced budget rule and instead demand a “needs budget” ran again. They were joined on a slate by two others who apparently still believe the answer to every problem is to shout for “more government funding.” They didn’t get in, as voters appear to have been unimpressed by seeing their school board replaced by a provincially-appointed manager for two years. That brings up a modest proposal. How about an appointed trustee for each of the 60 school districts? School boards have lost authority over taxation, curriculum (another area of constant union social engineering pressure) and now labour relations. Do we really need them any more? After the 2013 B.C. election, the Christy Clark government wasted no time taking control of union bargaining on behalf of school districts. Trustees were pushed out of the bargaining agency, no longer trusted to represent taxpayers for that duty either. The puppet role of

der, and the some school B.C. Liberal trustees was government is evident in the considering a recent teacher move to regstrike. When ulate local inthe province dustrial taxes. opted to pay (This would parents for BC presumably the disruption, there was a be to keep chorus of prounion-influTom Fletcher test from those enced municsupposedly ipalities from elected to represent the trying to get too many interests of parents and golden eggs from those taxpayers. liquefied natural gas School tax rates are plants.) now set by cabinet orWould Education

views

Minister Peter Fassbender and his team continue their remake by amalgamating or eliminating school boards? Not likely. With a rare teacher settlement in place, trustees will have less incentive to grandstand. And their meetings may become something more than union beef sessions.

TOM FLETCH E R Bl ack Pre s s

Municipal election campaigns are like mushrooms that pop up every few years, with voters still in the dark about whoâ€™s fertilizing them with how much money. Thatâ€™s why the B.C. government waited until the first elections for four-year municipal terms were held to examine how campaign spending should be regulated, says Coralee Oakes, B.C.â€™s minister for community, sport and cultural development. Oakes promised there will be new rules on spending and donations from property developers, unions and other donors to municipal council and school board candidates by the next province-wide municipal vote in 2018.

A: Excessive sweating conditions are

commonly known as hyperhidrosis. This is caused by the over-stimulation of sweat glands by autonomic nervous system mostly in armpits, but also in the palm of their hands or feet. Excessive sweating can be triggered by social, emotional or stressful situations that deeply affect people with this condition. There are several over the counter topical antiperspirants, oral medications and surgical procedures, but in recent studies, BOTOX injections have show to be effective in reducing sweating in a significant and long lasting way. Cost of the treatment of this injection may be covered by a 3rd party health plan.

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

The first step in treating either type of hair thinning is nutrient replenishment. This is because hair follicles require many nutrients from the blood stream to promote hair growth. I often recommend Phyto Paris Phytophanere, a multivitamin rich in Vitamin Bs, biotin and borage seed oil to promote hair and nail health. The second nutrient I recommend to promote hair growth is a high dosage of omega-3 fatty acids. I prefer high dosage omega-3s such as Metagenics EPA-DHA high concentrate liquid, where one teaspoon can provide as much omega-3 as 18 salmon oil capsules. The second step in promoting hair growth is usually an external hair treatment to help boost hair root growth and provide anti-radical protection. For females, a serum called Phytocyane uses Ginkgo Biloba to increase micro-circulation and grape seed procyanidins to combat free radicals in order to treat reactive alopecia. For men, Phytolium 4 serum contains a topical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor to counter the detrimental effect of DHT on hair loss. The serums are generally left on overnight three times a week and hair should feel thicker and fuller in 3 months of use. Ask our pharmacists about treating hair loss naturally and find these products here at Pharmasave Langley City!!

are two types of alopecia: Androgenic and Reactive. Androgenic alopecia mainly affects men and is related to the breakdown of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Reactive alopecia mainly affects women and is due to the temporarily deregulation of the hair life cycle. This can occur because of increased stress, iron or thyroid hormone deficiency, nutrient imbalance, hormonal changes, physical aging, or as a result of side effects of medications.

kitchen and have cabinets and countertops done before Christmas. How long should I expect for the project to complete?

A: The time duration of renovation

Kitchen Design projects depends on many factors. Experts Besides the most common such as the size of kitchen and the readiness of the project, cabinets and countertop fabrication time must also be considered. Customized cabinets normally take about two to four weeks, sometimes longer. Pre-made cabinets (such as Cowry Cabinets) can be delivered the next day as they are already in the warehouse. All in all, the cabinets and countertop can be done fairly quickly; however, you will also need to consider time for things like plumbing and electrical wiring. My recommendation: Always talk with your designer to see how the process can be shortened. #9-19638 FRASER HWY., LANGLEY 604.534.0958 www.cowrykitchencabinets.com

According to Dr. John Lin at Johns Hopkins University, Hearing Health Sciences “There is still a perception among the public and many medical professionals that hearing loss is an inconsequential part of the aging process and you can’t do anything about it. We want to turn that idea around.” He goes on to say, “Understanding hearing loss treatment is important, as evidence is beginning to surface that hearing loss is associated with poorer cognitive functioning and the risk of dementia.” If you occasionally ask people to repeat what they have said - If you like the television louder than what other people prefer – If you are having difficulty understanding the conversations in a group setting………….It’s time for you to have your hearing assessed and “YES” you might really “need” hearing aids.

teeth at some point in their lives. In order to treat sensitive teeth, first it is important to understand what causes it. Teeth have two layers in their crowns: dentin and enamel. Enamel is the outer layer and the in inner layer, dentin, is layer that surrounds the pulp chamber which houses the nerves and blood vessels. Within dentin, there are thousands of tiny tubes that run from the nerves to the outer Dr. Athar Butt BSc, DDS surface of the dentin layer. Within these tubes are fluid that Dentist react to hot and cold and send signals to the nerves. Over time, enamel can wear away. With exposed dentin, there’s not much inhibiting the transmission of hot and cold down the tubes and therefore, increases the amount of sensitivity your tooth feels. Gum recession is another cause of sensitivity as well. As gums recede, they expose the roots of the teeth. The roots of teeth do not have the protective layer of enamel, and therefore the tubes are easily exposed. In order to determine the best treatment for tooth sensitivity, it is important to see your local dentist to discuss the proper route of action. Some gum recession can be reversed by attaching tissue the exposed roots and thus, covering up the problem. In other cases, if there is a large dentin exposure, then your dentist might recommend covering it up with a restorative material, therefore providing a protective layer. For smaller exposures of dentin, your dentist might suggest using a specialized toothpaste that contains desensitizing components. These components bind to the tubes and thus, block them and inhibit the movement of the fluid. Your dentist might also suggest a paint on varnish that can be applied therefore covering up the exposed dentin.

Thursday, November 20, 2014 19

I just returned from China and all I can say is, "Why did I wait so long to see this beautiful country?" I was lucky enough to help assist a group from Vancouver to Shanghai in October. Once we arrived in Shanghai, we were met by a local guide who assisted us throughout our 16-day adventure. We also had local guides in each city that taught Leeann us about the culture and customs of each city we visited — Fairweather Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuhan, Chongqing and Beijing. Cruise and The 16 day tour was amazing with all the wonderful Vacation Specialist highlights — from seeing the Terra Cotta Soldiers; The Great Wall of China; Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. One of my highlights was the Yangtze River cruise through the Gorges. We even had a Rickshaw ride,as well as saw the Tang Dynasty show and an acrobatic show! All our food was also included and it was delightful. (I was hesitant as I was warned about the oils that are used to cook with would be different than what we are used to.) All I can say is that there was something for everybody. The breakfasts at the 5 star hotels were fabulous with a wide variety of western food, which in some cases exceeded our standards. I have a whole different opinion of China since I was lucky enough to be a guest in this country. The infrastructure and commerce is amazing, as they seem so far ahead of us. All I can say is you should go and be amazed like I was.

If you're interested please contact me as they have a lot of departures for 2015. I think the best time to travel is Apr and Oct as the weather is not too hot or too cool. Prices start at $2945.00 pp plus taxes this includes meals,hotels flights, tours. Don't wait! Make China your bucket list!

We look forward to working with you on your next vacation. Cruise or otherwise-call your local Maritime Travel Expert

Forward-thinking design: Homes that set the pace When you choose Regan’s Walk – a signature home by Marcon – you are choosing the convenience of a transit-oriented community. Meaning that all the necessary amenities are just a walk away - 10 minutes or less to be exact – including Burquitlam Plaza, gyms and recreational facilities, restaurants, shopping, parks, and a brand new Safeway. Or hop on the Evergreen Line for a ride to downtown Vancouver in under 30 minutes. Along with its efficient service, the new Skytain line will attract a mix of diverse shops and services to the blossoming neighborhood. Have a craving for cuisine? There is a fabulous pizza joint nearby, plenty of ethnic options including Japanese and Thai, or a local pub for when you’re in the mood to catch the game. For the outdoorsy-type, Mountain View and Burquitlam Park are a stone’s throw from home, or take a stroll with the kids to Banting Middle and Mountain View Elementary located a short distance from your front door. The area has a walkable score of 7.7, as ranked by walkscore.com - which means it has been voted high in its location status for providing residents the ability to run errands on foot. With shops and services just a stroll down the street, Regan’s Walk is the right choice for an active urban lifestyle. Of the 71 homes located at 611 Regan Avenue, Coquitlam, there are currently only 12 available. The prices for the 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom + den, 2 bedrooms and 3 bedroom + den homes are currently the lowest price points in the area, starting at just $199,900 and continuing up from there. The homes feature a contemporary classic design exterior and modern interior, with close attention to detail throughout. Regan’s Walk combines forward-thinking design and lasting appeal that reflect both quality and style. The homes continue to set the pace with built in USB charging stations, spacious master bedrooms in select homes, and video surveillance in the underground parking.

The interior features 9-foot ceilings, premium laminate hardwood flooring, windows designed to allow an abundance of fresh air and natural light and top-quality washer and dryer. The kitchen boasts state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, full-height pantries for added storage complete with a build in microwave, sleek, polished chrome, single-control faucet and LED-under cabinet accent strip lighting. The bathroom reflects both elegance and modern sophistication with a Classic Collection deep soaker tub, polished chrome bath and shower rain showerhead, forged steel framed mirror with brushed steel accent light bar and plenty of other quality details that make this home feel like your home. With Marcon’s green initiatives, the pedestrian-friendly community is just one way the developers are ensuring a safe

and healthy future. The homes feature energy and water conservation advantages such as low-flow toilets and efficient common area lighting, as well as recycling facilities for residents. “At Regan’s Walk, our homes feel like homes. Bedrooms feel like bedrooms. Kitchen’s feel like kitchen’s, and Marcon takes prides in quality workmanship,” says Sales Manager, Celia Chiu. “The feedback I get from our purchaser’s is that they appreciate the square footage we have to offer, our finishes are clean and elegant and they love our full size kitchen appliances, even the quality and display of our Sales Presentation Centre - it’s not overdone.” For more information, visit the Sales Office at Unit 408 - 552 Clarke Road, Coquitlam, BC - located right inside Burquitlam Plaza.

Contemporary classic architecture by award-winning Rositch Hemphill Architects and fresh modern interiors by Gannon Ross Designs give Regan’s Walk a lasting appeal. And with construction by Marcon, a developer known for its dedicated attention to detail, you can be sure the quality of your Regan’s Walk home will be as enduring as its style.

Davies continues lifelong passion for horses GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The fact Sarah Davies works with horses for a living should come as little surprise. “I remember my mom would ride her horse and lead me on my pony to drop me

off at school,” Davies recalled. “I grew up with ponies at home, competing and riding. “I would run home from school to go riding.” Davies grew up in the U.K., eventually competing and coach-

ing in the equestrian field. And when she moved to Canada 30 years ago, she continued following her passion. For the past 25 years, she has operated Windsor Stables on Fraser Highway, east of 248 Street. The equestrian facility offers a variety of services, such as horse shows, boarding, lessons, clinics and facility rentals. The horse shows all offer free admission for spectators. Since purchasing the former equestrian centre, Davies has expanded her operations and now had three outdoor rings in addition to an indoor ring. She has also added more stalls and all-weather paddocks with shelter for the horses. The facility can house 45 horses. The 51-year-old can’t imagine doing anything else with her life.

“I love the interaction with the horses, the connection,” she explained. “There is always that moment of anticipation, you just learn to feel and think what they might do next.” Davies received her coaching certification through the British Horse Society and after moving to Canada, became a certified level II coach through Equine Canada. Davies can often be seen roaming aboard Castles, who was born at Windsor Stables. “Over the years, I have had the chance to ride many, many special horses and meet some interesting people,” she said. “And the horse shows we do are really fun. They draw a like-minded group together and it has been inspirational to see the improvement each year. “You get the regular clients and you can see the progress being made.”

Langley Olympians Swim Club’s Reese Blunden powers through the 200m butterfly preliminary heat at the Walnut Grove Aquatic Centre; Langley’s Sophia Adrain is a picture of concentration as she awaits her turn during the preliminary girls 200m butterfly event. The Olympians hosted about 350 swimmers from around the Lower Mainland in the annual short course swimming competition. The meet was held on both Saturday and Sunday.

Local foursome off to curling nationals JAM ES I N GL I S A l de rg ro ve S t a r

Darren Frycz, Bill Nickerson, Steve Claxton and Don Monk may not be household names, but they are well known to competitors and fans of club level curling. The quartet are based out of the Langley Curling Club and comprise the Frycz rink, and as the current B.C. Travelers Curling Club Champions they are scheduled to jet off to Halifax, N.S. to represent British Columbia in the 2014 Travelers Curling Club Championship. It runs Nov. 24 to 29 at the Mayflower Curling Club. With careers in construction, farming, trucking and the airline industry, they have had diverse life experiences, but a shared love of curling brought them together — five years ago — first as teammates, and now as good friends. The four — clearly very comfortable with each other — constantly crack jokes and rib one another. Bill Nickerson, the elder statesman of the team is a retired airline pilot and plays the lead position on the ice.

Nickerson was introduced to curling by his parents somewhat longer than five years ago while growing up in Halifax. Today, he lives in Langley, is married to “a wonderful woman” and has two adult children. Nickerson curls two or three times a week, not counting taking part in the bonspiels or the time he spends volunteering to help young curlers. Nickerson wanted to make it clear that contrary to recent club rumour, he is in no way related to Don Monk. Frycz, the skip of the team calls the shots on the ice, but with the tell-tale chuckling coming from other members of the team that might be more in theory than practice. A curler for 35 years, since he was a child in Saskatchewan, his parents gave him the choice of playing curling or playing curling, he joked. Frycz curls three or four times a week, not counting the time spent competing in weekend bonspiels. He plays on more than one team and as Claxton explained, Frycz’s multi-team role causes awkward situations when teams Frycz plays on are scheduled to compete against one anoth-

er, he is faced with having to potentially play for both sides in the same game. In his non-curling life, Frycz lives on a hobby farm in Aldergrove and works in construction. He is married and has a son, who once curled, but has since betrayed his birthright by now being active in a sport that is not curling. Monk, the second of the team has been curling for 25 years and in keeping with the majority of his teammates he was introduced to the sport by his parents. When he is not busy working in the trucking industry or spending time with his two sons in Langley, Monk spends about 10 hours a week at the curling club. The somewhat loud snorting to this claim by his fellow curlers suggests he might be slightly understating the true dedication he shows to the club. Like his fellow teammates Monk spends time volunteering for worthy causes. Another attribute Monk shares with his team is a reluctance to say much about themselves. With some hesitation, Monk did share

in a passing comment he had donated one of his kidneys to his aunt. Responding to a question he explained his aunt’s kidneys failed and their whole family was tested, but he was the only possible match. When asked if deciding to donate a kidney had been a difficult decision, Monk appeared puzzled by being asked the question replied, “No, it was a very easy decision.” Claxton, plays the third for the team and is its de facto spokesperson. He has been curling for 17 years and unlike his teammates his parents played no role in his getting involved in the sport. Claxton became interested in curling by watching it on TV. He says he curls around two or three times a week, but again that is not counting his taking part in weekend tournaments. Claxton and Monk once went to the same school in Aldergrove and played baseball together. When not curling Steve spends time in Continued Page 32

Frycz sees one of the big challenges being competing youth sports such as hockey and football where children envision those sports leading to a professional career and the corresponding huge pay cheques.

Defence rules as Bears take peewee, bantam titles A resounding defensive effort combined with their highest point total of the season were instrumental in helping the North Langley Bears capture the Valley Community Football League championship banner. The Bears hoisted the trophy as league champs with a 36-6 win over the Abbotsford Falcons on Saturday (Nov. 15) at McLeod Athletic Park. The North Langley defence held the Falcons to a mere 129 yards and one touchdown. Six times the Bears forced a turnover on downs. Leading the way was Brandon Folkerts, who finished with seven solo tackles and assisted on five others. Mathieu Gale scored two touchdowns, the second one coming after he picked off a pass on defence and ran it back to the Abbotsford 15-yard line to put his team in great position to score the final touchdown. Marcus Stang scored on an

The Bears will play in the provincial championship final on Nov. 29 at McLeod Athletic Park. ••• The North Langley Bears capped off an undefeated season with a convincing 34-2 victory over the Richmond Raiders in the Vancouver Mainland Football League nine-man bantam finals. The game was played on Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park and the victory advances the Bears to the provincial final this weekend in Kamloops against

A second-half rally came up short for the Langley Mustangs. Trailing 21-7 at the half, the bantam football team put up a good fight, but came up short against the league-leading South Delta Rams, falling 35-28. Langley tied the score at 28 in the fourth quarter before South Delta scored the go-ahead touchdown with

Salmon Arm. Zander Bailey scored three touchdowns along the ground while Jacob Stebbings threw a pair of touchdown passes: 20 yards to Treven Baarts and 21 yards to Andy Hanlen. The defence was dominant all game long as the only Richmond points were off a conceded safety. Pablo Wigwigan delivered the defensive play of the game as he tracked down a Raiders ball carrier from well behind and tackled him on the North Langley six-yard line. From there, the Bears defence stiffened with big hits from Jacob Price and Ryan Barthelson keeping the Raiders out of the end zone. And that was Richmond’s only real threat to score as Connor Hurley, Mason Block and Jake Evans led a relentless Bears defence the rest of the way that prevented the Raiders from getting much past midfield.

90 seconds to play. The Mustangs moved the ball downfield into Rams territory, but time expired. South Delta entered the game allowing just an average of four points per game and finished the regular season at 10-0. Langley was third at 7-3 as both teams enter the playoffs.

Hawks’ Malm leads the way R ICK K UPCHUK Black Press

A sweep of the Vancouver Chiefs has lifted the Valley West Hawks into fourth place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League. After a 4-1 victory Saturday at the Langley Events Centre and a 4-3 triumph Sunday afternoon in Coquitlam, the Hawks have improved to 9-5-2. “Hard fought battles, both games that were

marked by good special teams play, great goaltending, and opportunistic goal scoring,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. In the first game, a pair of Langley products teamed up to open the scoring as James Malm set up Christian Bosa. Malm then added a goal in the second period and Surrey’s Justin De Vos beat the clock, scoring with one second to play to make it 3-0 after

40 minutes. After the Chiefs got on the board, Malm scored into the empty net. Nic Tallarico (Surrey) made 31 saves for the win. The second game saw the Hawks forced to rally as they were down 2-0 a dozen minutes in. Semiahmoo’s Jeffrey Stewart got the Hawks on the scoresheet two minutes before the first intermission, but Vancouver replied a minute

Valley West reeled off three straight goals for the lead after 40 minutes and all three came from Semiahmoo products as Ian Ross, Trevor Ayre and Daniel Watson all bulged the twine. Malm finished with three assists, giving him a six-point weekend. Langley’s Jakob Walter made 35 saves in the Hawks nets for the win. “Walter was sensational in the second and third periods, making big saves through traffic and off breakaways,” Leung said. “We gave up better looks than I’d like but I’m happy that our goalies came up big for us. We got key saves at key times that helped us complete the sweep.” The Hawks travel to Victoria this weekend for a pair of games with the South Island Royals. The Royals are in seventh place at 8-7-1. “We’re only up on them by three points,” said Leung. “So we need to be ready to work or we’ll quickly find ourselves back in the pack.”

Matthys earns player of the week after shutout

SC OTT STE WART TWU Ath letics

Trinity Western Spartans goaltender Silas Matthys made 39 saves in a 4-0 shutout victory over the Selkirk Saints on Nov. 14, earning the BCIHL player of the week award for his efforts.

Thirty-nine saves — including 25 in the third period alone — from goaltender Silas Matthys helped the Trinity Western Spartans take sole possession of top spot in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League. Matthys stopped everything the Selkirk Saints sent his way in the 4-0 Spartans victory last week (Nov. 14) at the Langley Events Centre. The win improved Trinity Western to 6-2-0-1 and 13 points. JP Villenueve and PJ Buys scored in the first period while Cody Fidgett and Grange Gordon scored in the second and third periods, re-

spectively. Blair Murphy and Dawson Sawatzky had a pair of assists apiece. The Spartans are on the road this weekend as they travel to

play Eastern Washington for a pair of games. ••• Matthys’ play earned him the league’s player of the week award.

His six victories lead the league while his goals against average (2.56) ranks third and his save percentage (.925) is tied for top spot. The shutout was his first in the BCIHL.

Spartans sweep Cougars in Calgary A pair of straightsets victories improved the Trinity Western Spartans women’s volleyball team to 6-4 on the season. Trinity Western is ranked eighth in the country. The Spartans faced the Mount Royal Cougars at Kenyon Court in Calgary. Alicia Perrin led the way on Saturday with a dozen kills and six blocks as the Spartans won 25-19, 25-19 and 25-12. Sophie Carpentier had 11 kills. Nikki Cornwall finished with 34 assists to set up the TWU attack as they finished with a .318 hitting percentage. On Sunday, the Spartans won 25-16, 25-20 and 25-17 as Carpentier and Perrin had 10 kills apiece. The Spartans men’s volleyball team dropped from second to third in the national rankings after splitting a pair of five-set matches in Calgary against the Cougars. Mount Royal took the opener 3-2 (2125,24-26,25-22,2521,15-10) after winning the final three

sets. Trinity Western salvaged the split with a 3-2 (18-25,25-13,2225,25-23,15-5) win on Sunday to improve to 7-3 on the season. Ryan Sclater had 24 kills, eight digs and six blocks and Nick Del Bianco had 14 kills, eight digs and a pair of aces in the victory. In Saturday’s defeat, Del Bianco led the team with 22 kills and nine digs and Blake Scheerhoorn and Sclater each had a dozen kills. Both Spartan teams

are at home this weekend at the Langley Events Centre against the Manitoba Bisons. ••• The Trinity Western Spartans used the long-ball to their advantage, hitting on more than half their three-point attempts to snap a three-game losing streak. The women’s basketball team went 11for-21 from beyond the arc in a 82-76 win over the Leth-

bridge Pronghorns on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre. The Pronghorns had beat the Spartans 67-55 the night before. Both teams are 3-3 in Canada West play. The TWU men’s basketball is still in search of their first victory after falling 88-83 and 92-73 to Lethbridge at the LEC. The Spartans fell to 0-6 in Canada West conference play.

Langley Christian won bronze and the Walnut Grove Gators took fifth. All three will compete at the provincial championships this weekend in Kelowna. Joining the Lightning junior girls at provincials will be Langley Fundamental, who finished eighth at the Fraser Valley championships. At the Grade 8 Fraser Valley volleyball championships over the weekend, both Langley Christian squads won bronze medals. Ethan Visscher was named an all-star on the boys’ side while for the girls, Robin Marriott earned the honour. And at last week’s senior girls AAA Fraser Valley championships, the Brookswood Bobcats just missed the podium, placing fourth. The ’Cats Nicole Chevrier was named a first team all-star.

A pair of Langley teams finished atop the podium at their respective junior volleyball championships. The Langley Christian Lightning won the girls banner with a 3-2 victory over the MEI Eagles on Tuesday at Surrey’s Pacific Academy. It is the first time the Lightning have ever won the junior girls Fraser Valley banner. Olivia Heinen was named most valuable player while Morgan Hnidy and Jayden Bontkes were selected all-stars. And on the boys’ side, it was the Langley Fundamental Titans defeating the Pacific Academy Breakers. The tournament was held at Surrey’s Earl Marriott Secondary and also wrapped up on Tuesday. The Titans were one of three Langley teams to crack the top five as

the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States claims it is the “cleanest gas car on the market”, helping to reduce smog-forming pollutants. Other changes include a re-worked suspension and steering. The springs and dampening have been adjusted to reduce bouncing over big bumps and the steering ratio is quicker. This along with the much quieter interior makes this a good cruising car but the steering lacks feedback and under hard cornering, the car tends to under steer. The engine too is best suited for cruising; climbing mountain roads strained it at times. The good news is that enthusiast drivers have the excellent WRX as an option. Verdict The 2015 Impreza is all about small changes to an already good car. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) now has a thicker casing for quieter operation and it now features pre-set steps to help mimic a conventional automatic. And manual transmission owners will be pleased to know that all trim levels can be equipped with a stick, but it is only a 5-speed. On the top two trim levels the Impreza can be equipped with EyeSight, Subaru’s collision mitigation system that can detect objects and pedestrians and will brake the car to a stop if the drive takes no action. This has proven to be popular with drivers and is something typically found in more expensive cars. What Subaru has not changed is the price. Starting at $19,995 and topping out at $30,295, there is a trim and price for many Canadian buyers. The added backup camera, improved interior and the bonus of a PZEV engine is all just an added benefit that should help Subaru get even more traction with buyers. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder with 148hp Fill-up: 8.5L/6.4L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $19,995-$30,295

cannot be seen, the way the car is put together. One of the main areas of focus was sound insulation and reduced cabin noise. Thicker front and side glass is now used, along with wheel-well sound insulation, thicker door seals and under carpet baffling. Not the kind of advancements that get noticed initially but they are welcome. Inside The Okanagan is one of those spots that is defined by summer; it’s all about the hot, dry lakeside vacation. But after three days, in and around Kelowna, experiencing the first blast of arctic air, the place is just as magical at this time of year. Stories of the wine pickers getting ready for the ice-wine harvest makes it as appealing and delicious as ever. The Impreza had a similar one-dimensional attitude before this new model arrived. Yes, it is one of the most practical designs, with big doors that make getting in and out a breeze, the huge windows make outward visibility impressive but the car lacked sophistication. For 2015 Subaru has done a good job of remedying the situation. The radio head unit now looks like a polished, integrated feature, replacing what looked like an afterthought. There is a standard 6.2-inch unit or a larger 7-inch model for cars equipped with navigation. A backup camera is now standard equipment along with Bluetooth connectivity and heated seats are standard on all but the base model. Drive Driving over ice covered roads on the way to Big White Ski Resort and then getting to push the Impreza as hard as it would allow on a snow covered handling course, gives a great sense of confidence in the cars AWD system. Traction is not an issue, the limit is really only defined by the type of tires the car is equipped with. For ultimate bite, a good set of winter tires along with the AWD system is impressive. The 148hp 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is carried over from the last car but now it is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV), and
