Husband carries Qur’an into court, wife advised to obtain separate counsel

Terror charges mount against couple Sheila Reynolds Black Press

The Surrey woman accused of plotting to plant pressure-cooker bombs outside the B.C. legislature on Canada Day blew a kiss to her husband and co-accused during a brief appearance in Vancouver Supreme Court Wednesday morning. Amanda Marie Korody and John Stewart Nuttall, who are being held separately in custody, gazed at each other, smiling and chatting while waiting for the judge. During the short proceeding, Nuttall’s lawyer, Tom Morino, indicated his client was applying for legal aid. Korody doesn’t yet have a lawyer. The day before, the couple was in Surrey Provincial Court, where they heard that their case would be transferred to the higher court for direct indictment. In Surrey, Nuttall – tall and thin, and sporting longish hair, a scraggly beard and tattoos on his right arm – carried a copy of the Qur’an – the Muslim holy book – into court and appeared at ease, sometimes smiling. Sitting in a separate Plexiglas prisoner’s

box, his wife appeared meek and nervous with shoulder-length brown hair, smiling only upon seeing Nuttall. Nuttall, 38 and Korody, 29, were initially charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity. A fourth charge – of conspiring to murder persons unknown for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist organization – was added Tuesday.

B.C. RCMP arrested Nuttall and Korody in Abbotsford on July 1 after a five-month investigation that began in February. Outside Surrey court on Tuesday, Nuttall’s lawyer said he recommended Korody get her own legal counsel. Morino said the two have been kept in segregation – reportedly for their own security – only being allowed out of their cells for an hour a day. Nuttall, Morino said, is being held in Surrey, while Korody is at Alouette Correctional Centre for Women in Maple Ridge. Morino explained that while such a case would wind its way through provincial court and eventually end up in B.C. Supreme Court, the Crown chose to proceed with direct indictment at the higher court level. “It doesn’t really change a lot other than it changes the venue,” said Morino. He said he spoke with Nuttall Monday night for a couple of hours. “As you can appreciate, anyone in custody is not necessarily overjoyed… but I think he’s doing about as well as can be expected. › see page 4

Organizers of White Rock’s Spirit of the Sea Festival say funding challenges have led to a whole new concept for the longweekend event. Historically, the festival – set for Aug. 3 and 4 – has offered events and activities that stretch from East to West Beach, including fireworks and a Torchlight Parade. This year, a fire show will replace the fireworks, and the parade will instead be a car-free, half-kilometre “carnival procession.” As well, everything – with the exception of paddleboard races – will take place in the East Beach area, from soccer and hockey in the middle of Marine ❝A lot of Drive, to a waterfront people just marketplace, with the don’t like entire stretch of road different.

The idea is to create “a giant congoline” feeling, Todd said, noting everyone who takes up the opportunity to join in will still be able to see the procession. › see page 4

Revised development reduces number of trees to be cut down to 218 from 339

Bose Farm neighbours rekindle tree fight Kevin Diakiw Black Press

More than 200 trees are to be cut down as part of a plan to develop the historic Bose Farm property. The 3.69-hectare (9.1-acre) parcel at 16420 64 Ave. has been the subject site for a planned residential development for some time. In July 2012, the proponent came before Surrey council with a plan to remove 339 trees in a forested area on the property. Opposition from the public was swift and loud. Council sent the plan back for revisions, particularly with an eye to saving more trees. On March 11, the proponent came back

with a proposal to develop the property (44 single-family lots, 249 townhomes and a park) that would spare 122 of the trees. Several people came to the meeting to speak against the plan. One man said the public had already spoken last July and wanted all of the trees preserved. Most others at the meeting also had concerns about the lack of tree retention. A representative for the developers said the building plan underwent significant changes since last year, with an eye to keeping as many trees as possible. In passing the third reading unanimously – with Couns. Barbara Steele and Tom Gill absent – council thanked the developer for

coming up with a plan that preserves both the heritage of the property as well as the trees. (Final reading has yet to be scheduled.) Avtar Johl, director with Platinum Enterprises which is developing the property, said last year that if he could save any trees, he’d be all for it. “With the road connections to connect the existing roads, it’s proving very difficult,” Johl told Black Press at the time. “There’s a large amount of cut and fill required on this site.” He said he’d continue working with the city to find solutions for all parties. As part of the heritage component on the site, Johl has agreed to preserve the Henry Bose farmhouse, milk cooling shed and calf

barn on the property. Ron Sousae, who lives directly beside the Bose Farm, is upset more trees couldn’t be saved. “I’m right on the edge of that forest, and all of our neighbours are pretty much dead set against this,” Sousae said last week. He acknowledged “we can’t stop the development entirely,” but suggested saving some of the forest for a buffer would have been preferred. Sousae knows there’s not much they can do except appeal to the developer, and that’s what he and his neighbours plan to do. They’ve started a Facebook site called Save the Bose Forest at www.facebook.com/#!/ SaveTheBoseForest

Surrey backs plan

Hen pilot hatches Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Chickens are now at the top of the pecking order on urban lots in Surrey. Council has asked city staff to draft a bylaw allowing up to four chickens on one-quarter-acre lots during a pilot period of one year. The plan was initially hatched by a South Surrey woman looking to change local laws around ownership of chickens. Kate McMaster – who keeps three hens on her property – wants the city to amend legislation allowing the farming of hens on quarter-acre lots. McMaster’s plan was unanimously endorsed by the city’s Agriculture and Food Security Advisory Committee on June 13. On Monday, council asked staff to prepare a bylaw that would legalize ownership of hens on smaller urban lots. Noise is not expected to be an issue, because hens are quiet, and roosters will not be allowed. Currently, chickens are permitted on properties one acre or larger. Mayor Dianne Watts said the plan has promise and has the elements of where the city wants to head with respect to food production, noting why the former Agriculture Advisory Committee was renamed to include “food security.” “That was purposeful in changing the name,” Watts said Tuesday. “A lot of people don’t want the amount of herbicides and pesticides that are put onto agricultural land. So we have to look at other options, and it can’t be an all-ornothing proposition. “When we look at fresh fruit, fresh produce, fresh free-range eggs, all of those things, that’s what people want,” Watts said. McMaster agrees. “That is where I think – and where I hope – we’re heading towards,” she said. “Food security begins in your own backyard.” McMaster has invited the community to an open house in her backyard Saturday from 2-4 p.m. at her home at 1917 Iris Pl. She will also host a meeting at the Stewart Farmhouse on Sept. 7.

Sneak peek for city leaders on Marine Drive

Muffler-site plan starts to take shape Alex Browne & Tracy Holmes Staff Reporters

A commercial/residential development that has been the focus of some White Rock residents for more than two years is expected to get underway on the former site of one of the city’s waterfront landmarks this month. Marketing efforts for Newport at West Beach – to be built on the former White Rock Muffler site – started last weekend with the opening of a presentation centre on Marine Drive. It’s part of a summer-long preview leading up to an official grand opening tentatively scheduled for the first week in September, according to marketing team member Steve Anderson. “We’ll be previewing by appointment, and taking advantage of the walk-in traffic during July and August,” he said. “There are a lot of people interested in what’s coming for the site and this has been a big news story for White Rock.” The development, which is to include 60 condo units, has not changed significantly since it was approved by city council this spring, he said. “There have been some very minor cosmetic changes – nothing to speak of,” he said.

Saturday, city dignitaries and neighbours got a sneak peek at what’s in store, at a ribboncutting and meet-and-greet that showcased models, plans and a display suite. “It looks very good, very promising,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said Monday. “They seem to be a good investment group, interested in doing the right thing.” Council in March voted 4-3 in favour of giving third and final reading to a zoning bylaw amendment that accommodates the project, to be built at the corner of Oxford Street and Marine Drive, and on two lots on Buena Vista Avenue.

The decision followed a public hearing at which the developer – Richmond-based LLW Holdings Ltd. – conceded an extra two feet in height that had been sought and offered to remove two townhouses that had been planned for the site. Height – along with view impacts, density and potential impact to traffic – was a key concern of neighbours from the get-go. The project was first proposed to stand up to 15 storeys tall. Coun. Al Campbell, who voted against the project, said at the time that it was “troubling, to say the least.” Residents said the process leading up to its approval “left much to be desired.” Construction is expected to get underway by the end of July. Baldwin noted the start was postponed two weeks by the developer to accommodate this weekend’s Tour de White Rock events. “It’s a very auspicious start,” he said. Coun. Grant Meyer said he was pleased to learn that plans include installing the necessary power lines underground along Marine Drive, noting the move is one council has been discussing for the waterfront. Meyer described Newport as “a good-looking building.”

Festival costs challenge organizers › from page 1 It remains a celebration of light, and those planning to participate are encouraged to use glow sticks or other lights, dress in vibrant colours and choreograph a demonstration or spectacle of sorts. Todd said the changes reduce the cost of holding the festival by $15,000, and cut insurance costs in half. While he’s heard some concerns about the new approach, Todd

said they centred on the fact things aren’t going to be the same as they were in the past. “A lot of people just don’t like different,” he said. “The benefits seem to outweigh any feel-good of clinging to the way it used to be.” The festival website (spiritofthesea.ca) includes an appeal for help covering the costs. “If everyone who comes to the festival gave us $1, we would be fully funded. Most people don’t,

so it would be very much appreciated if you gave us $20,” it states. “In the past, we’ve had to borrow money to cover our costs when we couldn’t raise enough from corporate sponsorship. This year has been even more challenging than ever. Please help us avoid going into debt; help us keep the festival open and free to all.” For more information or to volunteer, call 604-535-9890 or email info@spiritofthesea.ca

Elements of entrapment: defence › from page 1 “Amanda, I didn’t chat with terribly long because it was my direction to her that she must obtain other counsel so I didn’t want to speak at length with her.” Morino also spoke to Nuttall’s mother, who, like any parent, can’t believe her son was involved in the criminal activities he’s accused of, the lawyer said. He has yet to receive what expects will be “masses” of evidence, he said, noting his understanding is that U.S. authorities were also involved and that there was some sort of “Mr. Big” component, wherein undercover agents pose as criminals to befriend and draw confessions

from suspected criminals. Morino said he expected the pair would eventually enter notguilty pleas. The alleged homegrown terror plot is similar to that of the Boston Marathon bombers, who used pressure-cooker bombs to send shrapnel through the crowd near the race’s finish line on April 15. RCMP seized what they called three “improvised explosive devices,” made from pressure cookers that contained nails, bolts, nuts and washers and were placed on the legislature grounds. The alleged motive of the two accused is not clear. The legislative lawn and inner harbour were crowded with an

estimated 40,000 revellers for the July 1 Canada Day concert. Police said the bombs are believed to have been made in Surrey and elsewhere in B.C. Morino called last week’s police announcement of the charges against Nuttall and Korody “over the top,” with the use of terms such as “self-radicalized.” He noted “entrapment is a very high hurdle to clear,” but said it is “safe to assume there was certain elements of that” in the investigation. The two alleged terrorists, who were married under the Islamic faith, lived in a basement suite near 97 Avenue and 120 Street. Nuttall and Korody’s next court appearance is Aug. 7.

‘Surgical-mask’ trial

Chase charges One of three men arrested in connection with a high-speed chase through White Rock and Surrey learned last week he would be released from custody. Judge Robert Hamilton made the ruling following a short hearing in Surrey Provincial Court July 3. Police had taken three men into custody around 1 a.m. June 28, after a grey Jeep Cherokee spotted driving dangerously in White Rock was tracked to the area of 62 Avenue and 126 Street by police helicopter.

CORNERS

A White Rock man accused of committing 12 ATM robberies has elected to be tried on the charges by a Supreme Court judge and jury. Travis Jensen-Pickford made the election Thursday in a brief video appearance in Surrey Provincial Court. The 23-year-old has been in custody since June 15, and is facing 36 charges in connection with robberies that occurred in White Rock and Surrey between May 12 and the day of his arrest. All but two took of the crimes took place on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. One occurred in Newton, and another near 186 Street and Fraser Highway. In each instance, a victim was approached by a masked man while withdrawing money from an ATM during non-banking hours. The robber’s unusual choice of disguise led to police referring to the man as the “surgical mask bandit.” Jensen-Pickford’s next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 4. A preliminary inquiry is set for Nov. 12-15 and 18.

Keeping us safe

here are far more questions than answers about the horrific train derailment and subsequent explosions that destroyed part of the downtown of historic Lac-Mégantic, Que. early Saturday morning. It is quite likely that the death toll will be more than 50 people, as 15 are officially dead and dozens are still missing. They had little chance, with a 72-car unmanned train of tankers filled with crude oil piling up and quickly turning into a fireball, just metres from where they worked or slept. This tragedy is causing people all across Canada to think more closely about the trainloads of goods that pass by their homes and businesses every day. Here on the Semiahmoo Peninsula, there are two very busy rail lines. Both pass through populated areas, and transport a wide variety of goods, including hazardous chemicals, explosives, refined petroleum products and coal. One line, owned by Canadian Pacific, goes through Cloverdale and Panorama. It is home to at least 20 trains a day, mostly coal and container trains. The container trains carry a wide variety of goods, including container tanks that are used for a variety of hazardous goods. One recent container train had a prominent sign on it, proclaiming that the box (container) was filled with fireworks. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe through White Rock and Crescent Beach is not only a passenger-train route transporting Amtrak passengers between Vancouver and Seattle, it also acts as a route for a variety of freight trains hauling such materials as coal, chlorine, ammonia, sulphur dioxide and liquid petroleum gas. Although the BNSF doesn’t disclose the specific amount of hazardous materials transported along the waterfront, a spokesman has said such materials represent a “small majority of overall product.” These products are an important part of our daily lives, and rail is generally a safe way to haul these goods. But the Lac-Mégantic tragedy reminds us to be fully aware of what surrounds us, to insist that rail companies follow good safety practices and to ensure that local governments, and particularly fire departments, are fully aware of the scale of a fire involving petroleum products and other hazardous goods – no matter how they are transported.

The key is that you and you alone are responsible for your actions and how you feel. As ICBC notes, “it takes two to tangle.” So take responsibility for your own actions behind the wheel. Don’t lose your temper – and definitely do not act on it – while driving. Take a deep breath. Or 10. Don’t be in a rush. Give yourself time to get there, acknowledging you live in a congested region that can often get backed up because of one unnecessary stall or accident, or because of needed construction/improvements to our infrastructure. I’m not saying I’m perfect. I often think, “what an idiot” – or worse! – while witnessing other drivers’ bad behaviour. But I truly try to keep that inside my head. YouTube videos seem to capture the worst of humanity, and road-rage incidents are no exception. To avoid becoming yet another viral phenomenon – a video example of what not to do – try being even-tempered behind the wheel. Calm down, slow down, and be accountable for your behaviour and actions.

Misinformation over gutted bill Editor: Re: Senate ‘guts’ MP’s bill, June 27. It’s unfortunate to see that my MP, Russ Hiebert, has failed to listen to so many Canadians who have pointed out the serious problems with his bill, C-377. It purports to be about transparency, but unions are already fully transparent with our dues-paying members. Federal and provincial legislation requires unions to be financially transparent and accountable to their members. What this is really about is using government resources to attack organizations the Conservatives view as political enemies. No corporation, charity or special-interest group – such as the Canadian Taxpayers Federation or the Canadian Federation of Independent Business – is subject to the kind of financial reporting that this bill dictates for unions. Doctors, lawyers, accountants and several other professions deduct their association dues from their income tax. But C-377 won’t apply to them. The Canada Revenue Agency estimated the legislation would cost taxpayers $20 million to implement and $4 million annually to maintain, and that estimate only accounted for reporting from 1,000 labour organizations – far short from the 25,000 covered under the legislation. In addition to asking you and me as taxpayers to pick up the tab for Conservative political interests, Hiebert’s bill is opposed by the federal privacy commissioner and the Canadian Bar Association, and constitutional experts believe it may not even be constitutional. Some senators heard concerns, but Hiebert evidently still refuses to see how fatally flawed his bill is. Gwenne Farrell, COPE 378 n Re: Intrusive and unfair, July 4 letters. Letter-writer Jeff Ballingall is sadly misinformed about my private member’s Bill C-377, which would require financial transparency from labour organizations. While I agree the Senate should not be a “rubber-stamp” body, the amendments made to my bill by the Senate did not even pretend to improve the bill. Rather, the amendments would restrict disclosure to a handful of the largest unions, rather than every union, and even the handful would not have to provide much detail anymore. This

is the very opposite of transparency. Former Supreme Court Justice Michel Bastarache has written a legal opinion agreeing that C-377 is entirely constitutional, despite what some union leaders are saying. And, Ballingall is completely mistaken in suggesting that C-377 would disclose personal

information. In fact, information about pensions, health and welfare plans is specifically excluded by a clause in the bill. For those who would like to be better informed about what C-377 is really about, please see www.C377.ca MP Russ Hiebert, South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale

Canada Day over Vancouver’s annual general meeting in June.

Bright spots for city

Editor: Re: Birthday bash; Drunk teens ‘celebrate,’ July 4. As a resident of White Rock, I have enjoyed many celebrations of one kind or another on the “front.” This year’s Canada Day events were lower keyed than most, but everyone seemed to be taking advantage of the great weather. Just before the fireworks, we went for a walk along the promenade to the pier. I have never seen so many young people out and about for such an event. Although we didn’t see any problems, my partner was concerned about the amount of

alcohol being consumed and the size and density of this pack of raging hormones. We quickly exited and went home to watch the fireworks. The display was the best we’ve seen in years. Both the timing – so you could see individual bursts – and the variety – many new and different ones – was wonderful. I was also pleased to learn that our RCMP detachment handled the boisterous crowd with such professionalism. It had all the elements to turn ugly very fast. Well Done. Phil Winch, White Rock

Property squeeze Editor: I opened my 2013 Property Tax Notice from the City of White Rock and was shocked to find my payment had increased 32 per cent in comparison with my notice for 2012. A message from council noted it had approved a 3.38 per cent increase. I was incredulous that my increase was 32 per cent. I knew from my 2013 notice of assessment that the value of my land had increased 20 per cent. The increase is related to the purchase price of lots sold in my neighbourhood. So why should I be billed for a 32 per cent rise? The answer can partially be attributed to a problem with the calculation of the home owner grant. When the value of a property rises above a threshold established by the provincial taxation authority, the portion of the grant that is allowed for reduction of school taxes is reduced until it reaches zero. In my case, the full grant of $850 was reduced to $180. In 2008, this same thing happened. The increase in property tax hit people owning properties that had been subject to huge increases that exceeded the grant threshold. The tax authority stepped in and raised the threshold. Immediate relief ensued. Why wasn’t this considered again for this taxation year? I wrote to city hall this year and asked for recognition and relief for my neighbours and me. I received a form letter telling me what I already knew: that my property value had increased and the grant threshold had been exceeded considerably. I was disappointed the letter did not recognize we were facing a hardship, nor, perhaps, the same kind of remedy as was implemented in 2008. I have lived in White Rock for 47 years. Property values have increased immensely over this time. I am retired now and am on pension, like many who are living here in town. Last year, we had friends on our street, who were finding the property taxes too high, so they moved to Parksville on Vancouver Island. They loved this neighbourhood and had many friends here. But they were squeezed out by the “madness” of the effect of increasing land values. I wish city council was more sympathetic to the plight of its longtime citizens. The least it could do would be to help us lobby the provincial taxation authority. John A. (Jack) Gammer, White Rock

Chemicals, not oil, are riskiest rail cargo: fire chief Jeff Nagel Black Press

Authorities are playing down concern over potential for a deadly rail disaster in the Lower Mainland, after a runaway train laden with crude oil destroyed much of the Quebec town of Lac Megantic last weekend. Shipping oil by rail has been on the upswing as pressure grows to get Alberta oil out to global markets. Train loads of crude oil aren’t yet rolling through Metro

Vancouver for export, but there’s growing speculation that could come, particularly if proposed new pipelines are rejected. But poisonous or explosive gases do roll on rail through heavily developed Metro neighbourhoods, and those are the train cars that are of greatest concern to emergency responders if a train derails. Surrey fire Chief Len Garis said one risky substance is propane, which is explosive

and doesn’t readily dissipate. Other chemicals that move on rail in this region include chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, which spilled from CN Rail cars into the Cheakamus River in 2005, killing half a million fish. Rail disasters are a “low frequency, high risk” threat that emergency responders in the region prepare for, Garis said. Garis emphasized the rail industry’s

safety record moving dangerous goods has steadily improved since a 1979 chlorine leak in

Mississauga, Ont. “The rail cars that carry commodities that pose risks are designed

to roll over. They’re designed to crash into each other end-onend, so even if they do

derail, they’re designed to withstand the consequences of that,” Garis said.

Surrey Memorial Hospital

Coal group goes door-to-door A local group aiming to raise awareness of the impact of coal trains plans to take their efforts door-to-door. Ocean Park resident Paula Willams said Monday that Communities and Coal members will begin circulating a petition “as early as one week from now.” The group, formed to oppose a proposed new Fraser Surrey Docks coal terminal, hosted a town hall meeting

last month. Last week, they held their first “Next Steps” action meeting. “The turn out was impressive, with approximately 60 faces ready to volunteer their talents and time,” Williams told Peace Arch News. “The movement has awakened.” The next meeting of Communities and Coal is set for tonight (Thursday), 7 p.m., at the Crescent Beach Legion, 2643 128 St.

They’re wild, woolly and downright adorable – and for two days only each year, the public is invited to come get up close and personal with B.C.’s rescued baby animals. This year it happens this weekend. Critter Care Rehabilitation Centre, at 481 216 St., in Campbell Valley Park, will open its gate from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., both Saturday and Sunday, offering tours to meet baby raccoons, sea otter pups, Bambi-like fawns, skunks and more. This year’s open houses, run completely by volunteers, will be done with heavy hearts. On June 27, Critter Care’s ambassador Hoover, the bobcat, who is a highlight to see on the tours, died of aggressive cancer. She was 12 years old, and was hand-raised by Critter Care founder Gail Martin, who took her in at eight weeks old, malnourished and dying. Unlike every other animal that comes to the five-acre property, she could

uestion: My mother deserted our family when my brother and I were teenagers. We both worked hard to put ourselves through university and we have married hardworking spouses and have made outselves a comfortable life. Although we haven’t seen our mother for decades, she has now started to write to us, demanding that we provide support for her. She is on social assistance and is now in her midseventies. She says she is “dependent” and it is our duty to provide support for her. She says she is going to sue us if we don’t provide funds for her. Can she do this? nswer: Not any more. Until November 25, 2011 a parent could sue her children for support if he or she was “dependent.” If the children had become ﬁnancially successful there was a serious chance of a court order being made against them. The legislation was repealed.

You already know that young trees need water during hot and dry weather. Help a street tree near you stay healthy this summer by signing up for a free watering bag from the City of Surrey. These “water smart” bags slowly drip water into the soil over an eight hour period – the perfect pace to get the most water to the tree’s roots. Watering like this once or twice a week is better for the tree and saves you time.

Get involved! We’ll deliver a watering bag to you for free – all we ask is that you use it for your street tree once per week this summer. After summer ends, hang on to it for next year, or pass it on to someone else with a young tree. Call us today to order yours! 604.501.5050

And with the grand opening of Innovative Sleep Solutions, the duo is striving to address those concerns with unique, specialized and state-ofthe-art mattresses and accessories you won’t find “anywhere else”.

It’s no secret that a good night’s sleep is an

essential element of a healthy lifestyle.

Recognizing the importance of healthy sleep patterns, the Peninsula’s newest bed and mattress retailer, Innovative Sleep Solutions Ltd (in the former Heritage Beds location), is here to help.

One of the main concerns Dave and Terry have encountered over recent years is customer health – people are becoming more aware of the products they purchase and the possible health risks they might pose. Most of the mattresses sold at Innovative Sleep Solutions is made with Certi-Pure products, meaning they don’t emit harmful chemicals or off gasses that are sometimes found in other products. Their Nature’s Embrace mattresses made with certified organic latex have been through the strictest testing in the world and are certified by the USDA and the CSA.

With more than 20 years of experience in the industry selling almost every brand out there, owners David Temlett and Terry Harder bring with them a wealth of knowledge on many aspects of sleep health.

Exclusive to Innovative Sleep Solutions is a new magnet therapy line of Health Rest mattresses made by Restonic using BIOflex concentric circle magnets. These mattresses – registered by Health Canada as an approved medical device – have built-in concentric medical magnets underneath the top layer.

As two original employees of the largest mattress retailer in Canada, Dave and Terry have been hearing from customers for years, on issues ranging from pain and comfort to product safety and innovation.

Clinical and medical studies have shown this type of magnet therapy is beneficial in treating a range of ailments, including

They also sell the entire BIOflex centric medical magnet braces, wraps and supports.

neck and shoulder pain, arthritis, menstrual cramping, chronic back pain, shin splints, poor circulation, migraine headaches, TMJ and much more. The store also carries unique adjustable beds that elevate up to a 40 degree angle, all the while keeping the sleeper flat on their back – a design that is great for people who suffer from acid reflux or sleep apnea. And this weekend Dave and Terry plan on reintroducing a line of double-sided mattresses – designed to last longer than the non-flip mattresses that have dominated the market in recent years. It’s all a part of Innovative Sleep Solutions’ goal of introducing revolutionary products with unique features you can’t find anywhere else. Simply put, they listened, they looked for what was being asked for – and they found it! And as firm believers in supporting local manufacturers, all of their mattresses – along with solid-wood bedroom furniture with under-bed storage, available in 14 different finishes – are made in B.C., many of them right here in the Lower Mainland. This helps Innovative Sleep Solutions maintain the integrity and quality control of every item they sell, resulting in healthier products for their customers. When it comes to finding the right mattress, customers deserve a range of options suited to their individual needs and designed to provide an advanced solution to their sleep and health concerns. This professional and experienced team will help you find the perfect fit for a healthier lifestyle – after all, everyone sells mattresses, but they are truly selling sleep solutions.

Electric car fast-charging station opens in Surrey THE LEADER - 1/2 Page Vertical

Electric vehicle owners will get on the road more quickly this summer thanks to the opening of the first fast-charging station in the province at BC Hydro’s Powertech facility in Surrey. “This new charging station gives electric vehicle drivers even more freedom and flexibility to move throughout Surrey and the Metro Vancouver region,” said Mayor Dianne Watts. “It’s important that efforts are made to support the growing demand for alternative fuel vehicles and this is a welcome addition to our existing electrical charging stations.” The new charging station, which can charge an electric vehicle in 30 minutes, is located in Powertech’s Tech Park, 12388 88 Ave. The facility – which will be available for the public to use from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday – includes four

open throughout B.C., electric vehicle drivers will have the confidence to travel between communities without worrying about lengthy wait times to charge their cars,” said Charles Reid, president and CEO of BC Hydro. Transportation accounts for 38 per cent of provincial greenhouse gas emissions. With more than 90 per cent clean electricity generation in B.C., the use of electric vehicles has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. Powertech is a research facility that provides specialized engineering services in the areas of clean energy, independent testing and power system solutions. As a working test lab, the Tech Park allows for observation of the interaction between electric vehicles and the power grid.

Fast facts: • Electric vehicles emit 95 to 97 per cent less carbon dioxide (CO2) per kilometre than gasoline-powered vehicles • The average electric vehicle driver in B.C. can save up to $2,340 per year in fuel costs. • Drivers charging at Powertech in Surrey can drive to Bellingham, Wash. and back on a single charge. • The charging stations at the Tech Park are part of an expanding electrical infrastructure network that will see 30 DC fast chargers installed in B.C. To find more electric vehicle charging stations, drivers can use Plug Share, Charge Point or BCAA apps or websites for maps and trip planning.

New rules credited for drop in fatal alcohol-related crashes

Impaired charges down: study

Guilty pleas in Bacon murder-conspiracy case

Jeff Nagel

Vikki Hopes

An independent study credits B.C.’s controversial drinking-anddriving laws for a 40 per cent drop in fatal crashes related to alcohol. Since September of 2010, police have handed out temporary driving bans and fines to many drivers caught with blood-alcohol levels over .05, including many who blow over the criminal threshold of .08 who would previously have been prosecuted for impaired driving. The Centre for Addictions Research at the University of Victoria and UBC researchers studied crash statistics before and after the Immediate Roadside Prohibition program took effect and concluded there has also been a 23 per cent drop in injuries and 19.5 per cent less property damage stemming from alcohol-related crashes. “The goals of improved road safety by the provincial government were achieved,” the report said, despite the “partial decriminalization” of impaired driving in B.C. that accompanied the change. According to the study, 2,890 drivers were charged with impaired driving after the policy change,

Five UN gangsters have pleaded guilty to conspiring to kill the Bacon brothers in 2008 and 2009. Barzan Tilli-Choli, Karwan Ahmet Saed, Ion Kroitoru, Yong Sung John Lee and Dilun Heng entered the pleas Monday in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. Sentencing will take place at a later date. The five had also been charged with the first-degree murder of Langley’s Jonathan Barber, who was gunned down in May 2008 in Burnaby while driving Jamie Bacon’s vehicle to have some stereo equipment installed, and the attempted murder of Barber’s girlfriend Vicky King, who was following in a separate vehicle. Those charges are being stayed. At the time of the conspiracy, the UN Gang and the Red Scorpions – to which the Bacons were aligned – were embroiled in a war for control of the Fraser Valley drug trade. The five were among eight people charged in January 2011 with conspiring to kill the Bacon brothers – Jamie, Jarrod and Jonathan – in the period from Jan. 1, 2008 to Feb.

New drinking-and-driving laws are credited with a decrease in alcohol-related fatal crashes, according to an independent study. compared to 9,070 in the year prior to implementation – a 68 per cent drop. It notes roadside penalties are enforced immediately and seen as more severe – particularly at the lower alcohol levels – while it’s a long, difficult and uncertain process to convict drunk drivers in court. Researchers said they can’t tell for certain if the new penalties themselves or the publicity about them are most responsible for the change. Criminal charges are still more

likely with repeat offenders, according to the study. It notes police can’t issue roadside penalties for crashes they didn’t witness, so criminal charges are the only option in those cases. BC Civil Liberties Association executive director Josh Patterson said the new approach runs counter to the presumption of innocence in our society. “We don’t think that police should be in the position of giving out punishment,” he said. “We think that is the job of the courts.”

17, 2009. Co-accused Conor D’Monte and Cory Vallee have been at large since the charges were announced. Dan Russell had his case severed from the others and pleaded guilty in April of this year to the conspiracy charges and to manslaughter in Barber’s death. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison. During the period of the conspiracy charges, the Bacons were living in Abbotsford. In May 2008, the Abbotsford Police Department warned that anyone associating with the brothers was putting their life at risk. In Jan. 20, 2009, Jamie Bacon was shot at numerous times in broad daylight at the busy intersection of South Fraser Way and Sumas Way. He fled in a black Mercedes SL55 and slammed into a stairway at the Keg restaurant. Jamie is currently in prison, serving a seven-year term on weapons offences while awaiting trial in the Surrey Six murders. Jarrod is also in prison, serving a 12-year sentence on conspiracy to traffic cocaine. Jonathan was killed in a drive-by shooting in Kelowna in August 2011.

The Right Saddle Can Make All The Difference!

s many cyclists know, a poorly fitted saddle can take away all the joy of cycling. Issues such as saddle pain, chafing, saddle sores, numbness, prostate irritation, and urinary tract problems can arise from riding on the wrong saddle or poorly positioned saddle. Assuming the saddle is positioned at the correct height, correct fore-aft position and you have ridden enough to allow your body to adapt to the saddle , the main saddle characteristics to consider include saddle width, saddle tilt, saddle shape (including features such as cut-outs or depressions), and the amount of saddle cushioning. When you sit on a hard chair, the boney protuberances of your bottom are referred to as the ischial tuberosities or “sit bones”. There is a wide range of width of the sit bones and it is often generalized that men have narrow sit bones and women have wider sit bones. However, it isn’t unusual to find the opposite. Having wide sit bones on a narrow saddle will allow the sit bones to go over the sides of the saddle and increase the pressure down the middle of the saddle. This compresses the nerves and blood vessels that supply this sensitive region

(known as the perineum). It is important to have a qualified bike fitter measure the width of your sit bones. You can then look for a saddle closest to your measurement. Several companies offer saddles in a variety of widths. The next factor to consider is saddle tilt. Studies have consistently shown that an upwardly tilted saddle increases the pressure on the perineum. A good starting point is a level saddle. In some cases a saddle may be tilted a few degrees downward to reduce pressure issues and position the pelvis better when the handle bars are set significantly lower than the saddle (e.g. a more aggressive road racing position or triathlon position). However, tilting the saddle down too much will shift weight on to your hands and may cause nerve compression (e.g. hand numbness, carpal tunnel syndrome) Saddles also come in a variety of shapes. Most saddle manufacturers offer saddles that have central cut-outs or depressions which have been shown to help alleviate central saddle pressure. Watch out for saddles that have firm or sharp edges to the cut-out, these often cause more harm than good. Lastly, the amount of saddle cushioning is something to

However, studies have shown that very cushioned saddles actually increase the pressure on the perineum (as your sit bones compress the soft material of the saddle, this material bulges upward in the center). As a result, it is usually a good idea to avoid gel saddle covers on top of your bikes existing saddle. The saddle should be firm and fully support your sit bones. Overall, finding the right saddle can be a real challenge. Consider the above saddle characteristics and find a reputable bike shop that has a “saddle demo program”. This will allow you to trial saddles until you find the best fit. Also please note that for longer distances, even with the right saddle will not feel good without a good quality set of padded cycling shorts. Here’s to a happy perineum on your next ride!

“Most of us realize that we cannot realistically expect to pay for all of this expansion through the farebox. The taxman cometh. Choose your poison.” Sultan also cautioned the government must learn from its mistakes introducing the HST and fighting the ensuing referendum and “get this one right.” George Heyman, the NDP’s new critic for TransLink, said the province should cancel the referendum and instead hand authority back to locally elected mayors and councillors. “To let the future of the transportation system in the region hang on a vote in a referendum, I think is dangerous,” Heyman said in an interview. He said the Liberals never held a referendum on Port Mann Bridge tolls or BC Hydro projects, and aren’t likely to do so on the promised replacement of the George Massey Tunnel either. Heyman noted TransLink faces significant cuts in service hours between 2013 and 2015 because expected new funding sources will not have arrived in time. TransLink also risks losing $100 million a year in federal matching funds because it won’t be able to stump up its share, he said. Transportation Minister Todd Stone, who wasn’t present for the debate, has yet to give a clear indication of what the referendum question might look like. He’s pledged to consult closely with Metro mayors. It’s also not yet clear if the province or TransLink will pay the cost of holding the referendum and conducting public outreach on the options.

› from page 31 on the old TransLink board as a Surrey city councillor, told the legislature past premiers Glen Clark and Gordon Campbell both share blame for TransLink’s failure to secure needed funding over the years. Clark’s NDP got cold feet on implementing a $75 per year vehicle levy for TransLink in 2001, Hunt noted, and then the Campbell Liberals likewise cancelled a new parking-stall tax after $5 million had already been spent preparing property assessments. Hunt said both premiers argued they were listening to the public while TransLink wasn’t. A referendum is the only way to end the perpetual conflict between provincial and regional interests, he added. “I believe the taxpayers are the only ones that can actually settle this so that we can get on with building transit and transportation in the Lower Mainland.” TransLink officials estimate $23 billion is needed over 30 years to both maintain the existing system and add new rapid-transit lines. Metro mayors have suggested funding options including a vehicle levy, road pricing and a regional sales tax. Liberal MLA Ralph Sultan (West Vancouver-Capilano) appeared to contradict the premier’s vision for the referendum, saying it should be focused “more on governance than on choosing a specific funding model.” Sultan said the question should simply ask “whether it’s time for the province to cut the TransLink apron strings” and let Metro Vancouver representatives take responsibility and authority.

It’s led them to take steps to avoid selling out too far ahead, they said, agreeing that they don’t want the evenings to become “an exclusive social club.” Even so, observed Schultz, “there are always new faces at every one.” They’re taking another brave step on Aug. 4 with a special celebratory concert featuring Schultz’ own Mojo Zydeco. How is the whole band going to fit the premises? New Orleans-style, Schultz said, pointing out that in a lot of establishments in the hometown of jazz and Zydeco, small venues take out their tables later in the evening to allow room for a band and a floor full of listeners/dancers. “We’ve expanded our garden this year so we can have around 60 people,” Thiele said. “We’ll have a buffet set up in the restaurant and then, after dinner, we’ll get rid of the buffet and get the band set up – and then we’ll have a party.” Adding to what should be a phenomenal atmosphere, there’s

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

…on the Semiahmoo Peninsula

Riders to watch One of the biggest cycling events in the country is set to touch down in White Rock Friday. The Tour de White Rock is back, and there will be plenty of familiar faces returning, too. Here are just a few of the riders to keep an eye on:

Zach Bell Bell, 30, is the 2013 Canadian Elite Men’s National Road Race champion and a two-time Olympian. He finished third in the 2009 Tour de White Rock road race, which was won in controversial fashion by Costa Rican rider Nieves Carrasco, who was mistakenly allowed to hit the race’s short course one lap early.

f spectators happen to see a helicopter hovering over uptown White Rock Saturday during the Tour de White Rock criterium, don’t be alarmed. It’s neither a medical emergency nor police searching for anyone from above, but rather Victoria researcher Hugh Trenchard studying the complex systems and patterns of cycling’s peloton. A peloton refers to the group of cyclists

riding closely together – often with wheels mere inches apart – during a race. Trenchard, 44, is a former competitive cyclist – even competing in the Tour de White Rock as recently as four years ago – and began studying “complex systems” merely as a hobby in the early 2000s. “I’d just been reading about complex systems, and patterns and areas of physics, and I just applied it to something I knew about, which was cycling,” he said. “I’m interested in collection behaviour as it

occurs in different forms.” The field of complex systems is, as the name would suggest, complex. But boiled down, the study of it aims to see how parts of a system affect the collective behaviour of a group. There are, Trenchard points out, systems and patterns in everything from herds of animals, flocks of birds, even economics. And, of course, cycling. On Saturday afternoon, Trenchard, along › see page 40

Routley, a B.C. native who has raced professionally in Europe the last three years, has plenty of past success at BC Superweek – especially in White Rock. The 30-year-old won White Rock’s hill climb in both 2011 and 2008, and was second in the 2010 road race.

A member of Canada’s Olympic team in 2012, Numainville, a 25-yearold native of Laval, Que., entered BC Superweek on a roll, having won Canadian time trial and road race championships last month. In 2010, she won White Rock’s criterium and road race.

Rhae Shaw A former triathlete who also spent more than a decade as a technical advisor to the CEO of Microsoft, Shaw, 38, made the jump into pro cycling three years ago. She is coming off a criterium win in Seattle last month, as well as a third-place finish at the Redlands Bicycle Classic in California in April.

Groenewegen and her White Rock Renegades ’95 squad – the defending national midget champions – will return to action locally next week, when the Futures Gold division of the Canadian Open Fastpitch Championship kicks off. Groenewegen will also play with Canada’s senior women’s team at the Canadian Open – she is currently with the team in Oklahoma City, at the World Cup of Softball. The Canadian Open begins Friday with the Futures and Showcase Select tournaments; the Women’s Elite, International and Futures and Showcase Gold tourneys begin Sunday and Monday at Softball City, Sunnyside Park and Cloverdale Athletic Park.

New coach for Bayside Peloton studied from air

› from page 39 with University of Victoria computer science student Ashlin Richardson, will get a bird’s-eye view of peloton dynamics during the criterium. They’ll be filming from above and also taking notes for a research paper Trenchard hopes to publish. In recent years, he has had one paper published and has spoken at a few conferences dealing with complex systems. “When you’re at street level watching, or if you’re in the race, you can’t really see much of the peloton and what’s really going on – you basically just see your immediate neighbours,” Trenchard explained. “I’m interested to see the different forms, different shapes, that the peloton will take at different phases (of the race).” Generally speaking, a larger, denser peloton will result in slower speeds for the cyclists, while less-dense groups are able to gain more speed and move more freely. There are essentially three goals for the individual riding in the peloton, Trenchard said: avoid a collision, save energy by drafting your fellow riders and, in a competitive race, shoot for the front. In Saturday’s criterium, he expects to see a number of different patterns emerge, as riders race a tight one-kilometre course that – in previous years – has had its fair share of crashes, as cyclists get a little too close together. The starting gun will go off for the criterium beginning at 4 p.m. with the men’s category 3 and 4 race, and will be followed by the women’s pro race at 5 p.m. and the men’s pro division at 6 p.m.

The Bayside Sharks have tagged a veteran coach to head up its men’s rugby program. Last week, the South Surrey-based rugby club announced Angel Cividanes as the club’s new head coach of the senior men’s program, which includes first, second and third division sides. Cividanes replaces Pat Kearney, who had been at the helm of the men’s program since 2011. Kearney, 26, stepped down from his coaching post so he could return to playing, according to Bayside director of rugby David Benoit.

With the Eagles losing so many players from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BCHL title squad to graduation, the Renouf brothers should go a long way to filling the void.

Jonah Renouf finished second in OJHL scoring last season with 29 goals and 65 assists in just 53 games, while Nathan was sixth with 21 goals and 56 assists. Both are set to attend Quinnipiac University in 2014/15. The trade means a return to B.C. for the Kelowna-raised Chore twins, both of whom had stints in the BCHL before heading to Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nick Greenizan

With summer fast approaching it is a good time to check if you have the proper protection for your eyes. At Boardwalk Optometry we recommend ultraviolet

Professionals ON THE SEMIAHMOO PENINSULA

Sunscreen important for eyes as well as skin protection at all times, but especially in the summer when the sun is at its most intense. Your sunglasses should block out 99 to 100% of UVA and UVB rays, but there are other features which can give you more comfortable vision. Polarized lenses eliminate reflected glare from any flat, smooth or shiny surface for a cleaner, crisper view. This includes glare from the water, making polarized a great choice for anyone who spends time at the beach, likes fishing or water sports. A good quality polarized sunglass, such as Maui Jim, will have its polarized layer inside the lens and not just a film that can scratch or peel off. A waterproof coating will help to shed water and

an oleophobic coating will repel grease and make any smudges (from sunscreen!) easier to wipe off. A mirror coating will give added protection by deflecting some of the bright light making it useful in bright conditions. It is important to know that paying a high price does not guarantee sufficient protection. The only way to assess UV protection in a lens is to have it measured by a properly equipped optician. We invite you to bring in your current glasses and we will measure the UV protection. If it is time for a new pair we have a large selection of non-prescription sunglasses and most can be made in to prescription for you.

Vacationing in style at The Cottages at Osoyoos Lake The hot summer weather has finally arrived, and it’s officially time to get away on a long-awaited vacation. What better place to relax with the family than at your own lakeside cottage in sunny Osoyoos? “You might get only an inch of rain a month here,” says Eric Van Maren, partner of Van Maren Construction Group. The company is currently selling the Cottages at Osoyoos Lake, a gorgeous waterfront property with 284 cottages, tons of amenities and a close proximity to everything Osoyoos has to

offer. A wide range of people have been interested, but Van Maren notes that something did surprise him. “Many of our buyers are retired or planning to be retired,” Van Maren says, chalking that up to “Osoyoos is a more relaxed pace of life.” Many of these buyers are looking to live in their cottage fulltime, a serious possibility when the homes range from 1,281 to over 3,000 square feet with two to four bedrooms. With 14

different floorplans to choose from, it won’t be hard to find the perfect space. “I think the number of retired buyers speaks to the amenities that are available here,” Van Maren says. “These are detached homes for the price of condos.” You’ll also get access to two swimming pools, a 7,000-square-foot clubhouse and 20 acres of lawn, on top of the 1,500 feet of waterfront and 500 feet of beach. Buyers with families are also a big demographic at the cottages. Van Maren says the project is perfect for children, who can play on the beach or on the lawn and make friends with other cottage-goers. The location is definitely the biggest draw for those who want a taste of waterfront living without a high price point. “This is the warmest lake in British Columbia,” says Van Maren, adding that Osoyoos is also the wine capital of B.C. and has several golf course within 10 to 15 kilometres of the project. For more information about the Cottages at Osoyoos, visit www.osoyooscottages.com or call 1-855-742-5555.

includes multiple workout areas, a large outdoor deck, a games area with billiards tables, foosball tables and a big-screen TV and, best of all, a huge indoor atrium soaring 32 feet high with trees and a park-like feel. The atrium will also include plenty of greenery and places to sit and relax. Other amenities at The Summit Club include a lounge with a chef ’s kitchen, a baby grand piano and plenty of space to entertain, and a children’s play area on the fifth floor. MThree is located in the thriving neighbourhood of Coquitlam Town Centre, meaning you can easily walk to shopping, restaurants, schools and leisure activities. You’ll also find the upcoming Evergreen Line and the West Coast Express easily accessible, so your commute doesn’t need to include a car. Homes at MThree start in the low to mid-$200,000s for a one-bedroom and the low-$300,000s for a two-bedroom. For more information, visit www.liveatmthree.com, call 604-472-9555 or visit the presentation centre at 2992 Glen Drive, Coquitlam, open every day except Friday between 12 and 5 p.m.

The homes at Cressey’s MThree include overheight ceilings, spacious open floorplans and the renowned CresseyKitchen, with its integrated European appliances, wood-grained laminate cabinetry and quartz composite countertops.

MThree hits a summit in Coquitlam By Kerry Vital

Cressey is rising above the rest with MThree, Coquitlam’s tallest tower at 48 storeys and the final phase in their very popular Metropolitan Series. “The response has been phenomenal,” says Cressey Senior Development Manager Jason Turcotte. “We have a variety of homes to choose from, and people are loving the amenities and the finishings.”

MThree joins MOne and MTwo, which raised the bar for condominiums in the neighbourhood. “Each project has added pieces to the puzzle,” Turcotte says. “The feedback has been great, and I think it’s really helped buyers to physically see what we’re offering here.” Like all Cressey projects, one of the most amazing features at MThree is also one of the main gathering areas in the home. “We take a lot of pride in our CresseyKitchens,” Turcotte says. “The kitchen design at the presentation centre is in virtually every home in the project. People love being able to touch and feel the kitchen they will actually have in their home.” The kitchens at MThree include woodgrained laminate cabinetry, modern undercabinet lighting and sleek quartz composite countertops, complemented by a glass tile backsplash and integrated European

Moving into the bathrooms, you’ll find a luxurious rain shower head perfect for washing away the day’s stresses, in-floor heating (in the main bathroom in the onebedroom homes and in the ensuite in the two-bedroom homes) and large handset tile flooring. The ensuite bathroom also includes a limestone countertop, while the main bathroom features marble countertops. There are a variety of floorplans available, ranging from over 600 square feet to more than 1,000 square feet in the penthouse homes. Every home is built in an open-plan layout to maximize your square footage, and the overheight ceilings add to the sense of space. The best part of MThree could be The Summit Club, located on the top two levels. With over 9,000 square feet of space, the amenities are spectacular. The clubhouse

Toyota Corolla 2014 reveal Story and photos by Jim Robinson Metroland Media

OTTAWA: With Hollywood hoopla and a live webcast, Toyota Canada revealed the 2014 Corolla sedan that will be built in Canada for North America. Staged June 7 at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa, Toyota announced production will be based in the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) plant in Cambridge, Ont. TMMC has been producing Corollas since the first one, a Mica Blue sedan, rolled off the assembly line on November 30, 1988. To date, 1.3 million Corollas have been sold in Canada and it is the most massed produced car in history with more than 40 million and counting. To date, TMMC has produced more than five million vehicles. The milestones of the two millionth (2004), three millionth (2007), and four millionth (2010) vehicles assembled at TMMC were all Corollas. More remarkable is the fact that 80 per cent of the Corollas sold in Canada are still on the road. Seiji Ichii, president and CEO, Toyota Canada Inc., noted that for years the Corolla has been the “rational choice” but now with fresh new styling and improved handling the Corolla will be “easy to love”. He added tongue-in-cheek, “we’ll offer everything except the colour beige”. TMMC president, Brian Krinock said, “twentyfive years ago, TMMC started in Cambridge with about 1,000 people. “Today we are a proud company of more than 7,000, but we still think of ourselves as a small community of passionate and dedicated team members who take great pride in the exceptional vehicles we manufacture.” He also noted that with the three plants TMMC operates in Cambridge and Woodstock, the company has produced more than 500,000 cars and trucks in 2012, making it the second largest producer of Toyota/Lexus products in the world.

The 2014 Corolla marks the 11th generation and, besides new styling, features a new engine and transmission choices plus upgrades that include LED headlamps as standard, a new audio system with steering wheel audio controls and Bluetooth capability and additional airbags for even better safety. There will be four models: CE, LE, sporty S and the new Eco that Toyota claims will offer the highest fuel efficiency along with the “most power available in a Corolla”. The Corolla has two versions of its 1.8-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder with 132 hp and 128 lb/ft of torque on the CE, LE and Sport and 140 hp and 126 lb/ft of torque on the Eco. Also new on the LE, S and Eco is a new Continuously Variable Transmission CVT) that Toyota calls the CVTi-S (I for intelligent, S for shift) that will have a feel similar to a traditional hydraulic automatic transmission. The CVTi-S is Toyota’s first pulley-style CVT offered in North American and “will provide a more linear connection between pedal effort and acceleration feel compared to previous CVT designs”. The new Corolla’s suspension uses a Macpherson strut design for the front with a new, more rigid control arm design. A rear torsion beam arrangement is used for the rear. Both suspension layouts have been designed to take advantage of the additional body rigidity to provide improved handling responses and steering control. While the spring rates on Corolla have been optimized for ride comfort, the S-model features unique coil, damper, and bushing tuning to help offer a sportier driving characteristic. Probably the most noticeable change is in the styling that owes much to the Corolla Furia Concept seen in January at the Detroit Auto Show. While the 2014 model is 99 mm (3.9 in) longer, it looks more compact thanks to the way the body tapers front and rear and focuses the eyes on the wheel arches.

Revealed at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa, the 11th generation Toyota Corolla will be built in Cambridge Ontario for North American buyers. Helping the overall impression of being more taut in appearance is the switch to narrower LED headlights. The Corolla is the first compact sedan to offer LED headlights. Fuel economy is still being finalized as is pricing, both of which will be released by the end of the summer. The interior of the 2014 Toyota Corolla uses high-grade materials and incorporates the latest connectivity technology.
