Avian flu quarantine lifted at most locations THREE LANGLEY SITES REMAIN ON AGENCY LIST DAN FERGUSON Times Reporters
MONIQUE TAMMINGA L an gley Time s
Fire destroyed a commercial building on the Langley Bypass Tuesday night. Crews were called to the scene around 10 p.m. and said there didn’t appear to be any occupants inside the building. Several acetylene tanks exploded inside the building and the roof collapsed.Firefighters from both the City and the Township were called out to fight the fire, which took several hours to extinguish.
An avian flu quarantine has been lifted from 10 of 13 affected farms so far by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The latest update from the regulator shows that as of March 7, two Langley-area farms and one Chilliwack farm remained on the infected list, including one commercial Langley grower who was ordered to destroy 53,000 table egg layers, and two smaller
non-commercial operations in Aldergrove and Chilliwack that were forced to destroy 180 birds. The CFIA has adjusted the zone restricting the movement of poultry products to “reflect quarantines being lifted from individual premises.” The revised restricted zone now uses the Trans-Canada Highway as its northern border rather than the Fraser River and adjustments have been made to the Continued Page 5
Langley man taken on wild ride in stolen truck M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
A Langley man went on a wild and dangerous ride with a thief who stole his Ford F350 truck on Monday, March 2. Around 3:40 p.m., Langley RCMP received a 911 call from the owner of an F350 pickup truck who said that he had interrupted someone trying to steal his vehicle at 272 Street and 28 Avenue. The owner told 911 operators he jumped into the box of his truck just as the suspect drove off with it. The suspect driver allegedly attempted to shake the owner off the truck by driving erratically.
The driver then stepped on the brakes and the owner went through the rear window from the box of the truck, hitting his head on the dashboard, said police. The suspect jumped out of the truck then, just six blocks away from where he originally stole it. He managed to immediately pick up another F350 truck, which ended up being the same truck that police had pursued earlier that morning after it had been originally stolen in Surrey. The Langley victim who was thrown through the box cab to the dashboard received relatively minor injuries as a result of his ordeal, confirmed police.

But the thief’s actions didn’t stop there. IMPACT was alerted that the stolen F350 truck they located in Surrey earlier had been spotted travelling eastbound on Fraser Highway in Langley towards Abbotsford. As IMPACT investigators made their way, Abbotsford Police received a call from a victim of an alleged carjacking incident in the parking lot of the University of Fraser Valley. The suspect was able to leave the area in the stolen Hyundai Santa Fe. Minor injuries were sustained by the owner of that vehicle, which was recovered shortly after in the downtown core of Abbotsford. The
original F350 stolen from Surrey was recovered in the university parking lot. “Early indications of our investigation are suggesting that the three incidents appear to be related,” said the officer in charge of IMPACT, Insp. Peter Jadis. “We are working very closely with both Langley RCMP and Abbotsford Police Department to find those suspects responsible for these crimes.” IMPACT is appealing to witnesses of any of the three crimes. Call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 if you witnessed any of these situations or the suspects.

Mayors use meetings to promote ‘yes’ LANGLEY TOWN HALL MONDAY JEF F N AGE L Bl ack Pre s s
Mayors from two of the region’s fastest-growing cities — Surrey and Coquitlam — pleaded for a transit referendum ‘yes’ vote with mostly skeptical local callers in backto-back telephone town halls last week. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner was joined Thursday evening by White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin, while Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart took calls Wednesday with Vancouver Board of Trade CEO Iain Black. A similar meeting is planned on Monday, March 16 with Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese. It will take place from 7 to 8 p.m. The dial in phone number is 1-877-229-8493 and the access code is 114095#. “This is one of those rare moments that is so clearly about the future,” Hepner said Thursday. “If we let this fall apart — and that is a great fear of mine — it will be years and years and years in the making before we can come up with something else.” Each mayor outlined the significant local improvements that will come in their cities, including light rail lines in Surrey, a B-Line express bus route to White Rock and much improved transit service, with buses connecting South Surrey to the Canada Line every five minutes in rush hour. Baldwin appealed to voters to think not of how upgrades will benefit themselves, but their kids and grandchildren. “It’s not for me, this is for her,” he said Thursday. Baldwin said much of the increased transit service under the plan would be concentrated South of the Fraser, which has historically been underserved. “Finally, it’s going to be our turn.” Just 20 per cent of South of Fraser residents currently live
within walking distance of a frequent bus route running at least every 15 minutes but Baldwin said that would climb to 54 per cent under the plan. Mayors also pointed to the planned 80 per cent increase in night bus service, helping late shift workers to and from work. In both town halls, callers complained about unfair bridge tolling and suggested lower tolls be charged on all bridges so that all drivers pay fairly towards transportation improvements. “Use that money so everybody pays instead of just people South of the Fraser,” a Surrey caller urged. Hepner said the planned 0.5 per cent sales tax will result in “everybody paying their fair share throughout the entire region” and added tourists will contribute as well. Hepner also defended the decision to keep recently replaced TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis so his “enormous skills” could continue to be used rather than just terminating him and having to pay severance. The Wednesday night Tri-Cities telephone town hall heard even more callers vowing to vote ‘no,’ citing various complaints about local transportation. “These are things we are trying to fix,” Stewart responded, adding that to reject new money that could actually improve transit is equivalent to saying “I’m going to kick myself.” Some said they can’t afford the new sales tax and will vote ‘no’ because they pay too much now to cross the tolled Port Mann Bridge. Black said road pricing is proposed for the region and could reform the toll structure but said it isn’t likely to come for 10 to 15 years. One Tri-Cities caller said she doesn’t believe the vote is as critical as ‘yes’ campaigners claim.

John Mercer is happy to be back online. The legally-blind man had his specialized computer stolen from his home, but an anonymous donor came forward so that he could get a new one. He picked it up on Saturday.
New computer for blind man MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter
A well-known Langley City businessman made sure the good in people prevails over the bad, by buying John Mercer a new computer over the weekend. “I’ve seen John walking around town my whole life and so when I read about a thief stealing his specialized computer — and knowing how much enjoyment he got out of using that computer — I knew I could do something about it,” said the donor, who wishes to remain anonymous. A story in the March 5 edition of
The Times told about a thief stealing the computer from Mercer, who is legally blind, and has been since birth. The City resident got in touch with Mercer shortly afterwards, reading the article and told him to pick out a new laptop. Mercer was driven by his wife Doreen on Saturday to Walnut Grove Computers, where the couple picked out a brand new laptop and the staff there installed all the relevant programs Mercer uses to aid him, including voice programs.

Mercer actually received three separate offers to buy a new computer. “I have closed the GoFundMe account as we had a very generous donation made and John will very soon have his new computer,” said Helen Avery, Mercer’s stepdaughter who created the account. “It warms my heart to see how wonderful and kind some people really can be.”

western border of the restricted zone to reflect quarantines being lifted from individual premises. CFIA permits will continue to be required for the movement of birds and bird products within the zone until the agency determines that movement controls are no longer required to prevent the spread of avian influenza. “This determination will consider factors such as disease surveillance testing and progress on the destruction and disposal of infected birds and complete disinfection of premises,” the agency said in an online statement. “The CFIA continues to urge poultry farmers to take an active role in protecting their flocks by employing strict biosecurity measures on their property, and to immediately report any suspicion of avian influenza,” it added.
The CIFA continues to urge poultry farmers to take an active role in protecting their flocks. ONLINE STATEMENT
Since the H5N2 virus was detected at a broiler/breeder farm in Chilliwack and a turkey farm in Abbotsford in early December, more than 245,000 birds have been killed with carbon dioxide gas and then composted in a bid to keep the deadly virus from spreading. The H5N2 bird flu virus is described as a Eurasian-North American Hybrid that is especially deadly to birds. It’s the first time this type of
avian flu virus has been seen in North America. There have been no reports of H5N2 related illness in humans, but public health officials are monitoring workers who have been exposed to affected poultry, the agency said. The virus has also been detected in wild birds, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which has reported the H5N2 strain was detected in northern pintail ducks just across the border in Lynden, Wash. The CFIA also said the strain of avian influenza detected on a Chilliwack backyard chicken farm was a “high pathogenic H5N1” strain, not the H5N2 strain detected late last year. The CFIA continues to stress that avian influenza does not pose a risk to humans when poultry products “are properly handled and cooked.”

Reach Out fills a need BR ENDA ANDER SON Tim es Reporter
The executive director of Access Youth Outreach Services Society is disappointed with the City’s response to news of the departure of Project Reach Out at the end of this month. Or, more accurately, it’s the lack of response that upsets Jerome Bouvier. At its March 2 meeting, Langley City council cancelled a planned $1,500 grant to Project Reach Out, announcing they had received notification from Bouvier that the program would be discontinued in Langley, effective April 1, due to a lack of funding. It was the first indication Bouvier had that the City had received the notice. “I was disappointed they didn’t respond to the letter,” said Bouvier on Tuesday. “I would have expected a phone call.” He also wrote letters to the Township of Langley and to the RCMP and said he is still waiting to hear back from Mayor Jack Froese. While the planned $1,500 grant from the City would have been appreciated, said Bouvier, as capital funding it would not have addressed the program’s ongoing need for operational funds. “Capital funding is beneficial if you need a couch or tires,” he said. “But it doesn’t put gas

Township should share in seniors funding – Hall RESOURCE CENTRE USE SPLIT EVENLY BETWEEN LANGLEYS, SAYS CIT Y C OU NC ILL OR B REN D A AND E R SO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
The Langley Senior Resources Centre is located within the City of Langley, but the benefits of membership extend beyond the City’s borders into the Township. For that reason, said City councillor Dave Hall, it’s reasonable to expect the Township to provide some financial support for the struggling facility. Hall made the comments on Monday, March 2, as council approved a list of community grants, including a $19,100 contribution to the Langley Senior Resources Society. Of that, $4,100 is intended to help subsidize memberships for people who can’t afford to pay the full amount, while the $15,000 balance will be used to carry out roof repairs. The City’s support of the centre has been extensive and ongoing, said Hall. Last year, the municipality paid off the balance of the Senior Resources Society’s mortgage on its building. Up until then, the municipality had historically given an annual grant of $40,000 to help the society pay down the debt. In addition, the City provides a tax exemption on the property, said Hall. Membership in the centre is split roughly 50-50 between City and Township residents, said Hall.
“Might there be a greater contribution (from the Township)? I’ll leave it to them.” On Tuesday, Hall told The Times he isn’t optimistic. “At this point, it looks like there will be no contribution from the Township,” he said. “Their position has been that (the seniors centre) is in the City and they’re not keen on funding something in the City.” Hall’s remarks at the council table were made in support of an earlier effort by Langley Township Councillor Kim Richter to see $15,000 that was earmarked for a new charging station for electric cars, redirected to the Langley Seniors Centre. Richter made the motion during a special budget meeting held on Saturday, Feb. 28, however it failed to find a seconder and died without discussion. “I was absolutely stunned that nobody on council would second it for discussion,” Richter said. The motion came in response to at least two requests from the Seniors Society for funding, she said. “The first time was when the seniors’ bathing program was cut. They were looking for $29,000,” Richter said. More recently, a delegation came before council, asking the Township to form a partnership that included providing more than $30,000 funding.
Langley Time s file pho to
The Langley Senior Resources Centre is located in the City of Langley, but City councillor Dave Hall and Township councillor Kim Richter agree that some funding for the centre should come from the Township, because roughly half the seniors who use the centre are Township residents. The Township has a seniors advisory committee and is therefore well aware of the issues facing seniors in the community, said Richter. “The seniors hosted a campaign debate (before last November’s election). “They made it clear how pressing the issues are.” Less pressing, said Richter, is the demand for another charging station for electric vehicles. There are currently six in the
Township, and all of them, said Richter, are under-utilized. “We don’t need another charging station. “What’s puzzling to me,” she said, “is that we don’t get any money off these charging stations. We don’t build gas stations, so why are we building charging stations?” Richter said she is not aware of any plans for the Township to provide funding for the seniors centre from another source.
••• In all, 43 agencies, clubs and organizations in the City will share in more than $111,000 in grant money from the municipality this year. On March 2, council unanimously endorsed the Community Grant Committee’s recommendation to support 44 organizations selected from 58 applicants with a total of just over $113,000 in grant money or in-kind donations. The allocation of funds, which are taken from the City’s casino proceeds, range from a $184.80 in-kind donation to the Parkinson Society of B.C. to a $19,100 grant to the Langley Senior Resources Society. Among the larger grants that will be awarded this year are an $8,000 in-kind donation of stage and rehearsal space for Bard in the Valley, which presents Shakespeare in Douglas Park each summer; $5,000 each for Sports Tourism, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley and the Langley Cares Society which operates Langley Lodge and a $12,175.50 in-kind donation to the Langley Good Times Cruise In. As well, the Langley Lawn Bowling Club will receive $4,500, while the Douglas Park Community School Society and the Kiwanis Fraser Valley Music Festival Society have each been awarded a $4,000 grant.

Published Tuesday and Thursday at 20258 Fraser Highway, Langley, B.C., V3A 4E6 by Black Press Ltd. Sales agreement No. 3298280. Contents copyright of Black Press.
A lottery ticket sold in Langley almost a year ago has finally turned up, and been given to the B.C. Lottery Corporation. It is worth $50 million. The corporation is verifying it and, should all go well, the winner will receive the prize soon. The question most people have been asking for months is, why would anyone hold on to such a valuable ticket for so long? Some of the answers may come out when the winner is introduced, after picking up the funds from BCLC. According to BCLC, the winning ticket holder has likely foregone at least $900,000 in interest. However, when you know you have won $50 million, perhaps that isn’t too important a consideration. There have been many rumours in the community about the winning ticket holder. Perhaps one of them may be true, but unless the information came directly from the holder of the winning ticket, the rumours can likely be discounted. Congratulations to the holder of the winning ticket. May the additional funds help you to live a good life, and spend lots of quality time with loved ones. If you choose to be generous with a portion of your winnings, so much the better — but that is your decision.

Question langeytimes.com
of the week
Do you plan to vote in the plebiscite on the proposed new transportation and transit tax?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Another silly season is upon us. It’s not the weather — there’s nothing silly about double-digit temperatures and clear, blue skies in winter. We take that quite seriously. The third visit in less than a year by the country’s leader of the Official Opposition, plus visits from the party’s critics, signals that Nanaimo is a riding that the NDP is focused on winning in the fall when the expected federal election is called. The NDP has had its candidate, former Islands Trust chairwoman Sheila Malcolmson, in place for months. As has the Conservative Party, picking former Daily News editor Mark MacDonald, and the Green Party, which announced filmmaker and activist Paul Manly as its candidate in Nanaimo. Except for the Liberal Party, the major pieces are assembled for the showdown later this year in Nanaimo. And one of the furthest ridings from the seat of power is shaping up to be a major battleground. This will be the first election in some time that Nanaimo will be represented by one MP; previously, the region sent the NDP’s Jean Crowder to represent Nanaimo-Cowichan and the Tories’ James Lunney from Nanaimo-Alberni. Neither are running again. The new riding stretches from the Cowichan Valley to just north of Lantzville. Tommy Douglas, one of history’s greatest Canadians, held the Nanaimo-Cowichan seat for a decade. It would seem to be a safe seat for the NDP, but for a surging Green Party, whose popular leader Elizabeth May has made several appearances over the years — including a memorable stop which saw her call staff in the prime minister’s office “ruthless, cutthroat psychopaths.” A Green Party win in such an historic seat for the NDP is not a story the Dippers would like to see. It’s going to be a long, exhausting campaign for all of us. Malcolmson has made appearances at local governments, including Regional District of Nanaimo, touting her predecessor’s private member’s bill to deal with derelict vessels. Manly has been at Nanaimo city council to argue for increased protection for the region’s watershed. We have heard from MacDonald yet. We could see a Conservative MP in the region; Lunney held the seat in Parksville since 2000, and prior to that, the region has been represented by some incarnation of the Conservative Party since 1984. Not only that, but as the NDP and the Green Party divide up the progressive vote on the centre-left, it leaves a gaping hole for the Tories to slide right into. Then again, Trudeaumania 2.0 might hit the left coast before the summer is out. — Nanaimo News Bulletin

Compliments go to hockey parents Editor: I have sent the following letter to Langley Minor Hockey Association. I just wanted to acknowledge how wonderful the conduct of your Peewee A4 parents was at both of our playoff games. North Vancouver Minor Hockey Association played Langley, and we lost both games by scores of 10-0 and 7-0. A lot of times, even after the fifth goal, parents on other teams will be banging the glass and cheering like they just won the Stanley Cup. Your parents were awesome. A few of the parents from NVMHA commented on how respectful the Langley parents were to our Peewee team which was losing. Thank you so very much. You made the loss easier for our boys to take ( and for us as parents). For all the bad behaviour that unfortunately happens in minor hockey, which has drawn a lot of attention, you should be very proud of your team’s parents and spectators. We wish them all the best in the playoffs, and hope Langley Peewee A4 goes all the way to win the championship. MELINDA TARVES, PARENT, NORTH VANCOUVER MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION
Mayor shouldn’t be part of ‘yes’ group Editor: Regarding the upcoming vote on the proposal to add 0.5 per cent to the sales tax for transit and transportation. Why would Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese let himself be seen with Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, and come out on behalf of the ‘yes’ side. People who live on the south side of the Fraser, and especially those who live east of the Port Mann Bridge, should never have to pay another cent. They should also get 10 cents a litre off of the gas tax, because they are paying for three-quarters of the Port Mann tolls. Froese should be fighting for LangJAC K ley to get SkyTrain, instead of having F ROES E it going down Broadway. That doesn’t help Langley one little bit. Nobody who lives east of the Port Mann should ever vote ‘yes.’ Think about it: Residents of Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the rest of the north side get to use the newly- expanded freeway for absolutely nothing.

Volunteer-run organization gets a new lease on life MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r
Langley Community Support Groups Society founder/facilitator Marilyn Piticco is still living on cloud 9, after a sold-out fundraiser raised $17,000 for her group. The “Hope After Stroke� fundraiser at Redwoods Golf Course on Feb. 24 was put on by Langley’s Steve and Wendy Taylor as a way to give back to a support group that has given them so much help and hope, but receives so little recognition or funding. “It really upset me that Marilyn does so much for the group and still has to do her own fundraising too. We knew we wanted to do something,� said Steve. The couple’s goal was to sell 64 tickets and raise $5,000. The evening sold out within a week of its announcement with the room at capacity of 100. Most of the attendees were co-workers, customers and friends of Steve’s from Western One and the movie industry who wanted to come out and support him. Steve suffered his first stroke in 2013. It severely impacted his speech. “Steve was in hospital for three weeks and rehab for three weeks after that and then he came home at Christmas time and I thought, now what do I do with him?� said his wife Wendy. “A friend told me about the stroke group and so when I called Marilyn it was like an angel on the other line who understood, who answered all our questions and was patient and kind.� Piticco invited Steve to join the group and he has been going ever since. “I really enjoy going. I like the people because they are on the same journey,� he said. The speech therapy offered

But then Steve suffered another two strokes in 2014, so after graduating from some of the programs, he is now back involved. “And happy to be there. I’m going there every Friday,� he said. LCSGS, once known as the Stroke Recovery Group, has been helping stroke survivors, of every age, with therapy group sessions at the Walnut Grove Community Centre for 20 years now. Piticco has always run it on a
shoe-string budget of in-kind and cash donations. The main sponsor lately has been the Langley Good Times Cruise-In. “But before Steve and Wendy decided to do this fundraiser, I was on my last legs. I just didn’t know if I could do it anymore,� she said. The programming offered includes group exercise classes, talk therapy, counselling, occupational and music therapy and other support. She has dozens coming out weekly. To learn more about LCSGS, call Marilyn at 604-882-4672.

Study claims savings will offset transit tax ‘FLIMSY’ REPORT FROM MAYORS FORECASTS HOUSEHOLD BENEFITS JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s
Metro Vancouver mayors say their plan for transit upgrades would save residents much more money over the long run than they’d pay in extra sales tax if this spring’s referendum on the proposal passes. A report commissioned by the mayors estimates the savings for a typical family at $360 per year by 2030 in combined fuel, vehicle and other costs, including the value of time savings. It estimates that advantage would climb to $1,100 per year by 2045 versus a base case scenario without the proposed upgrades and worsening congestion as Metro’s population grows. Those are net savings minus the $125 per year an average household would pay as a result of the extra 0.5 per cent sales tax to be levied in Metro Vancouver. Two thirds of the estimated savings are attributed to reduced travel time, while one third is the result of direct reductions in outof-pocket transporta-

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore predicted some households will save even more — an estimated $10,000 a year over and above HDR’s estimates — if they are able to give up a vehicle as improved transit service arrives. “More people will have the option to use the bus, which is a less expensive way of getting around than driving,” Moore said. He said even drivers will spend less time on the road and money on

gas and maintenance because of congestion relief. Transit improvements — including a 25 per cent increase in bus service, new B-Line express bus routes and new rapid transit lines in Vancouver and Surrey — are expected to greatly increase the number of households
in the region that live close enough to frequent transit service to rely heavily on it. The mayors’ council estimates round-trip travel times by transit will be cut by at least 40 minutes between certain town centres, including Maple Ridge-Cloverdale and Coquitlam-Langley, a
route that would be served by new B lines. No campaign head Jordan Bateman called the report “flimsy.” He said it doesn’t take into account the opportunity cost of how families might benefit if they weren’t subjected to the extra tax and could instead spend that money on

different priorities or invest it. “The mayors refuse to acknowledge this is a regressive tax that hurts poorer families more than richer families,” Bateman said. He said poor families can’t think decades down the road because “they’re trying to put groceries on the table
this week” and added it may be risky for planners to use such a long horizon as well. “No one knows what the world is going to look like in 30 years,” Bateman said, suggesting self-driving cars may end up carrying many people some day instead of public transit.

B.C. seniors’ advocate strikes a chord B.C.’s new seniors’ advocate has issued her second report, and the media mostly ignored it. When this new office was promised by a campaigning Premier Christy Clark two years ago, I suggested that B.C. already has 85 seniors’ advocates. They’re called MLAs, and inquiries go to their local offices. Much to the chagrin of the opposition, Seniors’ Advocate Isobel Mackenzie’s mandate is not to pursue individual cases, and so she won’t be serving up a fresh assortment of horror stories to embarrass the government. Instead, it is to look for “systemic challenges� and recommend ways to deal with them. The latest report is based on a survey of more than 500 seniors from around the province, and the key finding was not what she expected. “We were surprised to learn
of the lack of awareness among seniors, particularly low-income seniors, of government programs and the subsidies available to assist them,� Mackenzie said. The survey found that 60 per cent of seniors living on $30,000 or less annual income didn’t know they are eligible for discounts on Medical Services Plan premiums. For income less than $22,000, the entire $864 cost of individual MSP premiums is waived. Other frequently overlooked programs are a monthly rent subsidy called Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), grants for disability modifications called Home Adaptations for Independence, drug cost assistance called Fair Pharmacare, property tax deferment and the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement program. Those older than 75 with income of less than $30,000

government can indeed give away money with great efficiency, just by telling people how to get it. The NDP’s version of seniors’ advocacy is to find the most tragic problems from complaints coming into constituency offices, and use those to ambush the government. A popular choice is an elderly couple who have to be separated because their medical needs are too different to keep them in the same facility. TV news loves that one. People cry on camera and denounce politicians for being heartless, as if the health minister stayed up late plotting how to break their granny’s heart. Maybe this seniors’ advocate wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

Trinity Western University students gave a good rating to the Langley institution, pushing it near the top of the annual Maclean’s magazine Canadian university survey. Most of the universities finishing near the top of the 2014 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and Canadian University Survey Consortium (CUSC) surveys used by Maclean’s were Christian universities like TWU. Most publicly-funded universities universities like Simon Fraser or UBC ranked near the bottom. Asked to agree or disagree with the statement, “Generally, I am satisfied with the quality of teaching I have received, “ a majority of the TWU students survey gave a thumbs-up, ranking TWU second after Redeemer University College, a Christian university in Ontario and just above Concordia Concordia University College of Alberta, also a Christian institution. The Maclean’s report on the survey of 73 Canadian institutions also shows Triunity students were likely to agree with the statement “Most of my professors are intellectually stimulating in their teaching” ranking TWU third after Concordia and Canadian Mennonite University in Winnipeg. Trinity also finished in the top three when students were asked to agree or disagree with the statement “I feel as if I belong at this university” finishing third after King’s, a Christian institution in Edmonton, and Redeemer. TWU was rated number two overall for Higher-Order Learning, finishing second overall to Quest university in Squamish, which bills itself as an “independent, not-for-profit, secular university.” The Langley university issued a press release noting it also ranked highly in other categories, such as Student-Faculty Interaction (5th), Effective Teaching Practices (4th) and Supportive Environment (4th). “Trinity Western University is known for its transformational educational experience,” TWU President Bob Kuhn said. “We are committed to helping [our students] to develop not only transferable intellectual and practical skills, but also depth of Christian character.” The Canadian University Survey Consortium (CUSC) survey is an annual survey of student satisfaction. Participating institutions administer an online questionnaire to a random sample of middle-year students at each school. The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) targets first-year and senior-year students with questions about their university experience.

Langley RCMP needs information from the public about a hit and run collision which occurred over the lunch hour on Wednesday, March 4. The female driver of a northbound Pontiac Grand Prix was rear-ended as she waited to make a left turn from 256 Street to 32 Avenue. The suspect vehicle is described as an older body-style white F350 pickup truck (possibly 2002 – 2010), with new front end damage. It is possible the truck had a red spoiler lodged into its front end from the Grand Prix. Unfortunately, the truck did not have a rear license plate. The driver of the Grand Prix was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The passenger was uninjured.

HUNT, FASSBENDER SAY TRANSIT AGENCY WELL RUN, CRITICISMS UNFAIR
JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Two government MLAs are accusing No forces in the transit referendum of misleading the public by exaggerating the issue of waste at TransLink. Surrey MLA Marvin Hunt, a former Surrey councillor and Metro Vancouver board chair, and Education Minister Peter Fassbender, formerly mayor of Langley City and vice-chair of the mayors’ council, made the comments Friday in Cloverdale, where Transportation Minister Todd Stone urged local business leaders to support the Yes campaign. Hunt said TransLink has got “a bad rap” from No campaign leader Jordan Bateman, who he said has made “very unfair” comparisons of executive salaries to those paid in smaller transit organizations that do not have the geographic sweep or extent of responsibilities as the Metro Vancouver agency. “An awful lot of erroneous information has gone out,” Hunt said. “Unfortunately, there’s nobody out there saying ‘Jordan, get serious. Tell the truth on these things.’” Hunt, who once was a director on the TransLink board when it was elected, insisted TransLink is “extremely efficient” compared to equivalent transit agencies in North America. He defended former CEO Ian Jarvis’ work to cut costs – $100 million a year was saved from the budget under his watch, in part by reconfiguring bus routes – and suggested Bateman’s skills lie more in “pointing fingers and throwing stones.” “Show me the savings he produced at Langley Township when he was on their council and then we can start to talk about what he can do at TransLink.” Hunt rejected claims a No result will force new reform at

The provincial ministry of transportation is making plans to return the former road to the Albion ferry to the Kwantlen First Nation. The road was a busy travel route until the Golden Ears Bridge opened in 2009, and ferry service ended shortly afterwards. Glover Road is to be closed north of Gabriel Lane, which is on McMillan Island and part
of the Kwantlen lands. The Jacob Haldi bridge which links Fort Langley with the Kwantlen First Nation and Brae Island Regional Park will remain open. After the road is officially closed, the land will be returned to the Government of Canada for inclusion on the Kwantlen First Nation lands. It was part of the reserve until the Albion ferry began operating in 1957, and
Hall pushes for earlier discussion of City’s priorities BR ENDA ANDER SON Tim es Reporter
Moments after the 2015 budget passed final reading at City Hall on Monday night (March 2), Langley City council turned its attention to 2016’s financial plan. Councillor Dave Hall made a motion that council meet in July to discuss spending priorities before the next budget is formed. “For years, I’ve advocated having an earlier discussion on the budget,” said Hall. Instead, he said, staff regular-
ly bring the budget to council in the fall, limiting council input. Two weeks earlier, Hall had tried and failed to introduce no fewer than 17 amendments to the 2015 budget as it was being given third reading on Feb. 16. Councillor Rudy Storteboom said at the time, that while he appreciated what Hall was trying to do, third reading was not the place to do it. “I’d like to see staff have a look at it and bring it back at the appropriate time,” he said.

“When is the appropriate time?” asked Hall, adding that he was told that when council members have initiatives to bring forward, they should be presented at third reading of the capital plan. Discussing Hall’s motion, Councillor Paul Albrecht remarked that he was unsure about the timing of a July meeting, because the budget might not yet be far enough along for meaningful dialogue. The motion passed.

Langley’s Varsity features the finest benefits of city living When it comes to location, Varsity is at the top of its class. In the heart of Langley, it puts homeowners in the perfect spot to enjoy all the Lower Mainland has to offer. The collection of oneand two-bedroom homes offers a balance between excitement and relaxation with its close proximity to both urban conveniences and natural settings, including protected green space. “The benefits of the surrounding neighbourhood would be the proximity to all things desired and necessary, including shopping, dining, schools like TWU and Kwantlen College, a gym, library, sports centre, golf course, medical facilities and access to lawyers,” says Sandy Pastorek of
RE/MAX results realty. Varsity also has a Walk-Score of 77 – a system used to reflect how easy it is to get around without a car, between 0 and 100. Pastorek says this score is exceptionally high, especially for the Valley. Building ‘C’ is move-in ready and offers one-bedrooms from $149,900 and twobedroom or two- bedroom and guest homes from 840 square feet to 1,090 square feet starting at $249,900. Building ‘D’ is well underway, with an estimated completion time of late August to early September. “Upon entering a Varsity home, visitors are always struck by the superior features and finishings, from the sweeping open floor plans to the nine-foot ceilings and everything
in between,” says Pastorek. “Varsity meets the requirements of even the most discerning buyers, which would include gas ranges, a gas hook-up on each deck for a barbecue, a stainless steel appliance package, granite and marble counter-tops and granite window sills - a signature of the developer, RKDI.” The home also features soft-close cabinetry, motion sensor lighting under the bathroom cabinets, rain screen technology design for the building exterior that controls rain penetration and plenty of other exceptional features that contribute to gracious city living. The Sales Centre is located at 20068 Fraser Hwy in Langley. For more information, go online liveatvarsity.com
Homes emphasize functionality and refined mix of natural materials.

2015 OVATION AWARDS
2015
Recognizing Excellence
• My House Design Build Team Ltd. EAGLE POINT EYRIE
• Naikoon Contracting Ltd. MIDORI UCHI
• Clay Construction Inc. NEW WEST CLASSIC
Ovation Award finalists unveiled
◼ BEST CUSTOM HOME: UNDER $750,000:
There is no place like home. Which is why for the past six years, The Greater Vancouver Builders’ Association (GVHBA) has recognized those who help turn four walls into so much more for homeowners. The Ovation Awards honour excellence in the renovation, design and construction of new single-family and multi-family homes across Metro Vancouver. During the recent event on top of the Pinnacle Vancouver Harbourfront Hotel, the 2015 finalists were announced, and with entries up 77% over last year, being named a finalist represents a major accomplishment. According to GVHBA’s CEO of Bob de Wit, building and renovating homes today has become highly technical. “With continued changes to the building bylaws and technological advancements, building homes is like a science. It is to your advantage to work with award-winning, certified professionals.” The Ovation Awards reflect the changing nature of the industry with the addition of a new category this year - Excellence in Technological Innovation in Residential Construction. “We felt it was important to acknowledge advancements to technology within the industry. Moisture barriers, window construction and heating systems, for example, are critical elements to building quality homes,” says De Wit. “Recognizing advancements ensures the awards are relevant and meaningful to all members’ businesses and homeowners.” Some of the finalists for the 2015 Ovation Awards (by category and location of Builder/ Renovator) include:
◼ BEST SPECIAL FEATURE: NEW OR RENOVATED:

Cracking a cold one in the City B REN D A AND E R SO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
Langley City craft beer aficionados will soon have some new local brews to check out. On March 2, City council approved re-zoning of a property on Logan Avenue, paving the way for its conversion into a microbrewery. Once renovations are complete, Langley Brewing Company will occupy the existing building at 20084 Logan Ave. Architect Wai Lui presented plans for the brewery’s design to council on behalf of owner Don Piccolo during a public hearing held ahead of council’s regular meeting. The existing building, located between two automotive-related business will be renovated to incorporate a modern urban design, both inside and out. “The main goal is to create a more inviting
space — to soften hard elements,” said Lui. The design incorporates reclaimed wood, planter boxes and lighting fixtures selected to provide character. The front of the building will be dominated by a pair of windowed garage doors that can be opened during warmer months. Comparable to a winery, the brewery will include a small tasting room and lounge area where patrons can sample ales and lagers or enjoy a whole pint. They can also fill a growler to take home. The design also calls for a large brewery/production area, cooler and retail space. Brewmaster Tony Dewald will work at the rear of the building in the production area which will occupy a large percentage of the building’s floorspace. Tucked away in a light industrial area of the City,
the craft brewery will incorporate a number of CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) principles in its design. These include installation of security locks, cameras, concrete planters and bollards to block vehicles, security film on the glass to prevent it from breaking and use of low shrubs that won’t block sight lines. Councillor Val van den Broek praised the crime prevention measures incorporated into the design of the brewery, calling it “the perfect CPTED building.” Other features of the brewery include a plan to offer spent grain to local farmers for use as feed. Addressing concerns about potential noise and odours, the proponent explained that the smell produced will be only the sweet and floral aromas of grains and hops, while noise and traffic from de-

Seminar for businesses on dealing with homeless The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce is offering a seminar for local businesses on how to protect themselves. Langley RCMP Cpl. Shannon Savinkoff, the community liaison officer for Langley City, Willowbrook and Brookswood will speak at the lunchtime seminar on March 18. “The Chamber wants to offer support to our members and Langley businesses on all areas that affect their day-to-day business and, in Langley, unfortunately homelessness is one of those areas,” said Chamber president, Kristine Simpson. “Cpl. Savinkoff will teach participants how to discourage loitering and camps around
their business, how to handle situations involving homeless individuals on their property and what authority a business owner has when it comes to the homeless situation in Langley.” Putting the Pieces Together: How to Protect Your Langley Business will be held in the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce boardroom (#1 5791 Glover Rd.) from noon to 1:30 p.m. Cost to attend is $10 for Chamber members and $15 for non-members.

Langley apartment prices down 10 per cent J EF F N AGEL Bla ck Pre s s
Lower Mainland real estate prices were up modestly in the first two months of the year, with detached houses showing the strongest gains, according to statistics from realtor associations. In Metro Vancouver, the benchmark price of detached houses hit $1.026 million in February, up
9.7 per cent from a year earlier. And that varies wildly by geography, with the typical house on Vancouver’s west side selling for $2.4 million, compared to $480,500 in Maple Ridge. The strongest one-year price gains for houses within Metro have been around 12 per cent in Vancouver and north Burnaby. The Real Estate Board of Great-
er Vancouver reported its benchmark price for attached homes rose 4.6 per cent to $481,500 and apartments were up three per cent year-over-year to $386,500. The benchmark price of detached houses in the Fraser Valley was $581,400 in February, up 4.2 per cent from a year ago. Benchmark prices for townhouses were down 0.6 per cent
year-over-year to $297,200 and apartments were down 1.8 per cent to $189,700, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. Abbotsford has seen the strongest gains with townhouses up more than seven per cent and apartments up more than 10 per cent. The weakest areas in the Fraser Valley have been Langley apart-
ments, which are down 10 per cent from a year ago, and South Surrey/White Rock townhouses, down 7.8 per cent. FVREB president Jorda Maisey said sales in the Fraser Valley were up 21 per cent in February and homes are selling faster – at an average of 41 days on the market now – because of the increased activity.
Prospera Credit Union offering tips on preventing fraud Financial scams and fraud are one of the most common forms of crime in this country. Many Canadians have experienced fraud or know someone who has, and the impact on their personal finances, their business, dignity, and overall well-being can be devastating. With greater awareness, the majority of fraud can be prevented. March is Fraud Prevention Month across Canada. Throughout the month, Prospera Credit Union will be presenting “Fraud Fridays” on social media to share tips and resources for fraud prevention. According to Equifax Canada research, Statistics Canada data
shows that fraud accounts for 54 per cent of all cybercrimes reported to police and fraud-related crime costs Canada between $15-billion and $30-billion annually. “Canadians are shopping and banking online more than ever, but these activities do pose risks,” said Steven Blaney, Canada’s Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness in a statement. The Better Business Bureau’s annual list of the Top Ten Scams reported by consumers shows that many of the most popular scams rely on the internet or social media and target people of all ages and backgrounds. Canada’s Competition Bureau is one of many resources
that offer useful information on how to recognize, report and prevent fraud. It is important that everyone is aware of the pre-
ventative steps they can take as well as how to report fraud when it does happen. Take the time to familiarize yourself and
help others become aware of how to recognize, report and prevent fraud. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC)
is the central agency in Canada that collects information and criminal intelligence on mass marketing fraud (telemarketing),
advance fee fraud letters (e.g. West African), internet fraud and identity theft complaints. You can learn more here.

Golowko grabs bronze at B.C.’s LANGLEY UNITED’S KAMIL GOLOWKO FINISHES IN THIRD PLACE AT PROVINCIAL HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS IN ABBOTSFORD G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s
The decision to quit other sports and focus on wrestling appears to be paying off for Kamil Golowko. The 16-year-old, Grade 11 Langley Secondary student became the first-ever male member of the Langley United Wrestling Club to find the podium at the B.C. high school wrestling championships. All of the Langley schools wrestle under the Langley United banner and female members of the club have won a pair of silver medals at provincials over the year. But until this year, the male contingent of the club has been denied the podium. “It was definitely a nice achievement,” Golowko said. “I set out a goal for myself this year and that was to get at least top three at provincials.” The provincial championships were held at Abbotsford’s Ag-Rec Centre on Feb. 26-28 with seven members of the Langley United Wrestling Club competing in various weight classes. Golowko was wrestling in the heavyweight (110-kg) division and won two of his three matches. The medal was not much of a surprise considering he entered provincials after winning gold a few weeks earlier at the Fraser Valley championships. He did admit to a slower start to the season, but said things have really picked up
since Christmas. This was also Golowko’s second straight appearance at the provincials, as he finished sixth as a Grade 10 student. “Kamal is a kid that has steadily improved over the last couple of years, especially the last two,” said Langley United Wrestling Club coach Chris Rinke. “His growth has been tremendous; he has gotten a lot stronger and fitter. “He still has a ways to go, but we hope he can win a medal for us next year as well.” Golowko has wrestled for five years and he has since quit both football and rugby. “It was a combination of I enjoyed it the most, I showed potential, and I needed to focus on my school,” he explained. He is also involved with cadets. Golowko hopes to wrestle at the university level, and potentially internationally. Rinke said Golowko is both very coachable and a leader among the club. “He is the kid that is in the gym every day, setting up the mats, making sure everyone else is helping out,” the coach said. “A real leader in the room.” And on the mat, Golowko shows great potential. “He is a real strong guy (with) real good awareness of where he is on the mat and good balance,” Rinke said. “He gets out there and competes in the moment. He is good at wrestling to his ability — not everybody can do that.”

And for someone in the heavyweight division, Rinke said Golowko is among the better conditioned athletes for wrestlers that size. “He’s got a pretty good gas tank,” the coach said. While Golowko found the podium, another Langley United wrestler came up one spot short with Brookswood’s Trevor Weltzin placing fourth. Weltzin was competing in the 70-kg weight class, which Rinke called the toughest among all the classes since there are more wrestlers in that group and they are also much-better conditioned. Weltzin had won all four tournaments he entered but prior to the zone qualifying tournament, the Grade 11 student was sidelined by a knee injury. Weltzin was permitted to enter provincials as an injury petition, but prior to the championships, he came down with the flu and lost some weight. He still finished fourth in his weight class. “Trevor had an outstanding year, definitely the top wrestler for us in a tough weight class,” Rinke said. “He is our most committed athlete. He just wasn’t quite at the level he needed to be.” “You have to be at the top of the game when it is competitive.” Weltzin already has an impressive resume, as he won silver at the cadet/juvenile Canadian wrestling championships in 2014.

Spruce Kings send Rivermen packing GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
It is game over for the Langley Rivermen. The junior A hockey club fell 3-2 in game six in Prince George, losing the BCHL Mainland Division semifinal series four games to two on Tuesday night. The series was tied at two games apiece heading into Monday night’s game five at the Langley Events Centre, which saw Prince George prevail 5-4 in overtime on a power-play goal from captain Chad Staley. Looking to force a deciding game in the series, the Rivermen jumped out to a 1-0 lead in game six with Ben Butcher opening the scoring on a power play. But Brogan O’Brien would scored twice for Prince George in less than two minutes to give the home side the lead for good. Braiden Epp made the score 3-1 in the second period. Jake Kearley did get the Rivermen within a goal, but there was just 1:18 remaining for Langley to try and force overtime. Langley outshot Prince George 3024 in the game, a familiar theme
throughout the series as the Rivermen had the shot advantage in all six games. But Spruce Kings goaltender Jesse Jenks was up to the task, posting a 2.45 goals against average and a .918 save percentage. The series was very evenly matched as both teams scored 16 goals, including five on the power play, and one empty-net goal apiece. And in three of the four Langley defeats, the game was tied in the third period. Game one saw Prince George break a scoreless tie with just over a minute to go, while in game three, the Spruce Kings struck twice — including an empty netter — in the final 2:27 to break a 2-2 tie. And the backbreaker may have been the pivotal game five where twice Langley took one-goal leads in the final 20 minutes only to see Prince George tie it up both times and then win it in overtime. What didn’t help Langley in the series was the fact they were missing two of their top three offensive players for the final three games, with both Marcus Vela and Gage Torrel out since game four.

Hawks grounded in playoffs RICK KUPCHUK Black Press
Their season came to a quick end Sunday afternoon in Port Coquitlam. And while they could have achieved more, the Valley West Hawks aren’t going to call it a disappointing campaign after they were eliminated from the BC Hockey Major Midget League playoffs in straight games. The Vancouver Chiefs swept the Hawks 7-5 and 5-0 to win their best-of-three quarterfinal series. “It’s not the ending we were looking for, but it would be a stretch to really call it a disappointment,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “The parity across our league is incredible.” Valley West was near the top

of the standings for much of the season but injuries and missing some key players down the stretch dropped the team down to sixth place. They then drew the Chiefs for the first round of the playoffs, and couldn’t keep up with the league’s hottest team over the past five weeks. “The Chiefs have been a machine the last month of the regular season. They bent, but did not break and found a way to win,” Leung said. “It was a tight game, much tighter than the score might suggest.” Playing without leading scorer James Malm, who was injured while at the Canada Winter Games, the Hawks put forth their best effort against the Chiefs ear-

Vancouver scored four times in the first 10 minutes of the third period, then when the Hawks pulled to within one at 6-5, added an empty net goal to seal the win. Sunday morning, the Chiefs scored three times in the first period and twice more in the third for the shutout victory. While the current season is now over for the Hawks, the next will begin in just a few weeks with a spring identification camp May 1-3 at Langley Twin Rinks. “I’m going to take probably a week to decompress,” said Leung. “We’ll have our exit interviews, the will be back to work shortly thereafter.”

Peewee Eagles off to provincials GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts
From day one back in September, the provincial championships were the goal for the Langley peewee A4 Eagles. “As soon as this team was formed, that was the goal, to go to the provincial championships,” admitted coach Bryan Barratt. “The coaching staff believed this was a special group of boys who had the talent, skill and attitude to do so.” And the players have proved the coaching staff correct as the Eagles have qualified to represent the region at the provincial championships. The six-team provincial championships are being held in Kimberley from March 15 to 18.
Langley earned their way to the championships after capturing the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association banner last month. The Langley squad is looking for to add to their impressive collection of hardware, having already won a pair of gold medals — at the Vancouver Thunderbirds UBC Thanksgiving Cup and the Kamloops tier 3/4 tournament — as well as silver at the Winfield peewee tier 3 tournament. The Eagles sport an overall record of 39-14-3 and the coach described his squad as focusing on their own end and playing as a team. “We want to be the hardest working team through a relentless attack (and) take away the opponent’s time and space,” he said.
Atom Eagles win again A stellar season was capped with a championship banner. The Langley atom A1 Eagles — who won all three tournaments they entered this hockey season — needed a tiebreaker game, but came through when it counted, defeating Semiahmoo by a 3-1 score. The game was played
on March 3. The two teams were competing in the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association atom A flight 1 playoffs. The final four tournament was hosted by the Cloverdale Minor Hockey Association and the Eagles were the lowest-ranked of the four teams after a 13-50 regular season.
But Langley would go 2-0-1 in round robin, beating Abbotsford (123-3) 6-1 and Cloverdale (12-4-2) 4-2 and tying Semiahmoo (15-2-1) 5-5. And since Semiahmoo also had a 2-0-1 record, the two teams hit the ice for a winner-take all showdown, with the Eagles soaring to a 3-1 victory.

Banner day for Spartans track and field team A convincing victory helped the Trinity Western Spartans win a second straight Canada West track and field banner. The Spartans women’s team topped the standings by 39 points at the University of Manitoba’s James Daly Field House. The championships ran Feb. 27 and 28 and the Spartans collected
100 points to beat second-place Calgary, who had 61. Sarah Inglis led the way by breaking the 1500m conference championship record as well as the TWU with a gold medal-winning time of 4:16.84. She also won silver in the 1000m and was named the female performance of the meet award. The Spartans also
swept the podium in the 1500m as Fiona Benson (4:23.43) and Regan Yee (4:27.38) won silver and bronze, respectively. And the gold medal was one of four the Spartans won on day two of the meet. Sabrina Nettey broke the school record in the triple jump with a gold medal-winning leap of 12.20m. She beat teammate — and previous
record holder — Claudette Allen, who took silver in the event at 11.97m. But in the long jump, it was Allen topping her teammate as she won gold with a leap of 6.22m while Nettey took bronze at 5.94m. Allen was also named the Canada West rookie of the year. Emma Nuttall won gold in the high jump,
clearing 1.73m and the TWU 4x400 relay team also won gold — with a new school record — in 3:49.69. The Spartans women’s 4x200 team set a new school record in 1:40.74, but just missed the podium, placing fourth. Rachel Shuttleworth (300m) and Hazel Ross (60mh) won bronze in their events.
The Spartans’ Yee was also presented the community service award while Laurier Primeau and his coaching staff earned the coach of the year award. ••• The Trinity Western Spartans men’s track and field team won 11 medals and finished third overall at the Canada West championships.
Why should Langley vote YES? NEW LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT Introducing 27 km of fast, frequent and reliable Light Rail Network to connect communities in Langley, reducing transit time between Langley and Surrey Centre by as much as 25 minutes.
MORE BUS AND B-LINE RAPID BUS SERVICE New buses and routes will service growing communities, including Willoughby and Brookswood/Fernridge. New B-Line rapid bus service every 10 minutes or less on 200th Street.
ROAD UPGRADES Road upgrades will ensure people, goods and services move more freely, efficiently and safely, while also addressing critical bottlenecks.
Together, these projects and many more meet the demands of an expected population growth of 1 million in the next 30 years, which would otherwise put unimaginable strain on an already overcrowded transportation network. Voting YES in the upcoming Transit and Transportation Referendum will reduce the costs of congestion by 33% and improve the quality of life for everyone – all for less than 35 cents a day per household. Vote YES for a faster commute, a stronger economy and a better environment.
Look for your ballot in the mail and vote YES. Check out the Plan at mayorscouncil.ca
The Spartans finished with 62 points, trailing only Calgary’s 84 and Manitoba’s 70. Calum Innes won TWU’s lone gold medal, topping the field in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.00. Declan White won a pair of medals, taking silver in the 1500m and bronze in the 1000m. Nathan Dunford (pole vault), Nathan George (300m) and the men’s 4x200 relay team won silver medals. Winning bronze medals were James Linde (60m), Jamie Sinclair (pole vault), Joel De Schiffart (3000m), Cale Hernandez (pentathlon) and the men’s 4x400m relay team Bot the men’s and women’s track and field teams will compete at the CIS national championships, which run this weekend in Windsor, Ont.
Lacrosse team wins big in Vegas The EH Team rolled a lucky 7 last weekend, going 7-0 to win the Best of the West Tournament in Las Vegas. The junior varsity squad, with players from multiple associations around the lower mainland, dominated their opponents from Arizona, California and Utah by an impressive 45-5 margin over the four game round robin play. These were the first games together for the 18-player roster — made up of players from Langley, Surrey, New Westminster, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam — and their play improved throughout the tourney, with stalwart defense, quick ball movement and a collective team offensive effort. Sunday’s bracket play saw the EH Team victorious in their first two games vs Utah and Nevada teams to put them in the final against a Canadian opponent, another undefeated squad, Vimy from Edmonton. The final proved to be a physical game with EH prevailing thanks to a gritty defensive effort that stymied Vimy’s offence and thwarted their opponent’s midfield transition. And quick feet, ball control and opportunistic play provided ample scoring power in a 10-6 win.

The Nissan LEAF miraculously cut a journey in half this week. I’ll explain. I took the plug-in sedan on a 43-kilometre trip from Vancouver to Driveway HQ, on 152nd Street, in Surrey. When I set out, the screen display showed that I could drive emission-free for 146 kilometres. Now I could have taken off like an F1 supercar and street raced all the way, because electric power offers instant tire squealing torque if you press the pedal to the metal. But that’s not me. Spurred by my ecofriendly driving the previous day, the clever car had decided earlier in the day that I could do 156 kilometres on a full charge. Not boasting but that’s easily more than 20 kilometres better than the average driver can expect to achieve. Okay, maybe my head
is swelling. The big 1-4-6 winked at me. I threw the stick into ECO mode and with two flicks of the wrist pushed it into the enhanced B-mode, which puts the braking power regeneration into overdrive, so to speak. I glided silently down the road, picking up pace ever so gradually in the busy city traffic. Rolling down the hills to Marpole, I could feel the juice from the brakes topping up that battery. On the freeway, I hit the posted speed limit and 40 minutes later pulled into HQ. The display flashed 126. I had covered 43 klicks with the power required to move the car just 20! Such fun. Next week: More on the joy of driving electric. Email the address at keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Albaisa designs for a stylish life The Infiniti Executive Design Director fell in love with design as a young boy living in Miami, FL. As he recalls his childhood, he mentions that this wasn’t the beach part of Miami that might come to mind when we think of the city. Albaisa’s father was a building architect and so as a youngster the budding designer spent a lot of time at the office.
Albaisa says, “Life takes its course and I really got into art also, so I studies art in the beginning.” He holds a degree from Pratt Institute in New York and he attended the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit. While still in school, Albaisa was hired by Nissan Motor Corp Inc. even before he graduated and hasn’t looked back. He has been with the company more than 25 years.
“It was an E-Type Jag convertible. And that really changed it for me… It was just so beautiful. Because this was the early 70s. Miami wasn’t Justin Bieber going down the street in a Lamborghini. You never saw these these kinds of cars, so it was shocking for me, that a car could be so beautiful… And then I started drawing cars.” From then on, he knew that designing vehicles would be in his future. Then again, that wasn’t without exploration into other mediums of design.
to
“Every day is different in this company,” he explains. “My first two or three years in the group, I worked on the J30. And I did a yacht, I was designing TaylorMade golf clubs and I played beach volleyball competitively, so I had this crazy life.”
“I remember this as if it was yesterday, by Alexandra Straub that the shadows would move on the streets and I’d sit in the entrance of my dad’s office playing He designed furniture on the side, as well. with the little buildings and models.” “As an artist, change causes change and changes your Then one day, sitting on the steps of his father’s office, fate mind,” he states. changed his life’s ambitions changed.

he held a number of senior Design positions within Nissan leading up to his appointment as Design Director, Nissan Design America, in 2004. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of Nissan Design Europe and in 2011 returned to the U.S. as vice president, Nissan Design America. In 2012, Albaisa was named design director of Nissan global Design, Nissan brand passenger cars, including Zero Emission Vehicles.

SPRING SPECIAL BRING IN THIS AD & RECEIVE $ 40 Off Spring Detail
Boring and Vanilla it is not Toyota has suffered criticism in the past that must sting: some if its designs have been called boring or vanilla. Things are changing at Toyota, just look at the much more dynamic designs placed on the small Corolla or mid-sized Camry, still practical but much better looking. The same criticism was levelled at the Toyota luxury brand, Lexus. Here too, the designers have taken a dramatic shift in the way the cars look and feel. The RC coupe is an all-new category for Lexus and one they call “Sexy”. There was a retractable hardtop Lexus IS convertible that tried to double as a coupe but nothing can replace the real thing. This is a long, low, wide take on a coupe. Much better-looking by Zack Spencer car that that old IS. Looks One area that Lexus has focused on is the front grille and aggressive stance of many of its latest vehicles. This grille is what Lexus calls a “spindle” grille, made to replicate a fabric spindle. Why, you ask? Well, the Toyoda family was in the fabric loom business before they started making military trucks and then cars. This is a fun tip-of-the-hat to the origins of the business. On some cars it looks a bit forced, on this RC it certainly looks well integrated and sleek. What are hard to see are two pin-lights imbedded in the grille that act as driving lights. The back has cheese-grater looking faux vents behind the rear wheels that serve no function and look a bit busy. The FC is sold as a rear wheel drive (RWD) model or all wheel drive (AWD) plus it is sold with Lexus F Sport trim packages that enhance the wheels and add extra go-fast looking trim pieces. The car seen here is the 350 AWD without F Sport. Inside Lexus continues the overhaul inside the RC cabin. The dash really looks and feels cockpit-like, with a high centre console and sporty looking trim. There is a new touch pad between the front seats that lets the driver scroll around the centre screen just as one would on a laptop. To enter a setting, the driver pushed the track pad, all very intuitive. The F Sport models get a special centre speedometer cluster that has the single dial move to one side for quick reference information. The non- F Sport models get a small screen to use instead. The seats are nicely sculpted and trimmed in leather, plus the back seats are roomy enough for adults if the front seats are moved slightly forward, children will fit easily. What is impressive is the use of soft-touch materials and a level of finish and that should be experienced firsthand. Drive Most Canadians will gravitate towards the RWD RC 350 not just because of the added traction but also because of the lower starting price. It’s odd that the RWD car starts at $57,650, where the AWD starts at $54,600. The RWD F Sport car is a more performance-oriented with an 8-speed automatic transmission and adaptive front and rear suspension and all-wheel steering system; the AWD gets a 6-speed auto and a passive shock system. Both use the same 3.5L V6 engine with 307hp. The AWD car seams to be set up as a touring car, not getting away from the Lexus roots planted firmly in the luxury camp. It would be a good idea to try the more dynamic F Sport model back-to-back with the AWD to see if the softer model is to your tastes. The power from the engine can be rather fun but the driver needs to really kick the throttle to wake the car from its luxury slumber, this also is the only time the engine sounds particularly exciting. Verdict Lexus has built a strong following because of the Model shown: Civic Touring FB2F7FKNX high quality, bulletproof reliability the brand offers, with an ever-present luxury feel. The F Sport models offer a more aggressive design and improved on-road dynamics. With an eye on making the brand more exciting, the designers did a fine job inside and out. The AWD model doesn’t stray too far from the traditional Lexus formula or producing comfortable and luxurious transportation, this time in a much more stylish wrap.

WHY DETAIL YOUR VEHICLE?
Protect
Value
Regular detailing helps keep your car in showroom condition. Just washing your car at home will not prevent paint damage from bird droppings, insect residue, tree sap, road salt, acid rain and the sun.
You maintain your vehicle by doing tune ups, oil changes and tire rotations. Regular detailing helps maintain the cosmetic condition of your vehicle for a higher resale value.
Enjoy
Stay Healthy
Aren’t you happier when you drive a clean vehicle?
Having the interior of your vehicle professionally detailed not only helps fading or cracking, it can also remove potentially unhealthy dust mites and bacteria from carpets and fabric.

GOLD KEY LANGLEY VOLKSWAGEN
The very first Honda Accord, introduced to Canadians back in 1976, was about the same size as today’s Civic sedan and it had a less powerful engine. When the eighth generation Accord was introduced in 2008, it was officially classified as a “large car” and came with a 190-horsepower 4-cylinder engine, or an even more Bob McHugh powerful optional V6. Eight-gen Accord did get a mild mid-life facelift for the 2011 model year and it included new front-end styling and some interior improvements. A new base SE trim line also replaced the previous LX trim. The four-cylinder is by far the most popular engine choice of Canadians, but there was also an interesting upgrade to the optional 3.5-litre V6 in 2011. Called Variable Cylinder Management (in Sedan editions only - not Accord Coupe), this system can improve fuel economy by shutting-down two or three cylinders, during light load driving conditions. Highway fuel economy with this V6 is almost the same as the four-cylinder version of Accord. No changes were made to Accord for the 2012 model year. The big changes came in 2013 when a landmark, smaller and lighter, all-new ninth generation Honda Accord was released. Although lighter, the 2013 Accord is structurally stronger than the previous generation Accord and although its outer dimensions are more compact and it has a shorter wheelbase, it has more rear seat legroom and a slightly larger trunk, ac-
cording to Honda. Major changes also happened under-hood with the release of Honda’s new “Earth Dreams” engine technology. This could also be linked to a high-efficiency new CVT automatic with “G-Design Shift Logic”. This feature provides quicker acceleration, as it’s faster acting than a conventional automatic transmission. In addition to being considerably more fuel efficient the 2.4 litre four-cylinder “Earth Dreams” editions of Accord are also super-clean running and complies with PZEV (partial zero emission vehicle) requirements in the US. This engine also supplies more power at low engine speeds, just where you need it, on takeoff, on a hill or when merging into freeway traffic. Its city/highway fuel economy ratings of 9.1/6.6 L/100 km, with the CVT, are outstanding for a family-size sedan. A 6-manual was available with the base LX and Sport trim levels and a conventional 6-automatic came with the V6 engine editions. Accord sedan has consistently been a top performer in crash tests performed by both the IIHS and the NHTSA in the US. It’s also highly rated by Consumer Reports for dependability and it has better resale value retention than most in the class. A Canadian family transportation favorite, the Honda Accord sedan is a top used car choice with a solid reputation for dependably and value.
