Miss Rose break-in shattering MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

DAN FER GUS ON Langley Time s

When thieves broke into The House of Miss Rose salon on 56 Avenue last month, they were essentially stealing from cancer victims. “I’m extremely upset,” said Rose Adams, 74, who has been outfitting cancer patients with her amazing array of wigs for nearly two decades. On Sept. 17, thieves smashed three windows of her shop in the 20700 block of 56 Avenue. “There was glass everywhere,” she said. They damaged a shrine Rose had made to a little girl for whom she had made a wig. The girl died of cancer before she could try it on. Her name was Gaby and “she wanted a butterscotch wig. It got lost in transit here and it arrived the day Gaby died,” said Adams. The mannequin head she had the wig on was severed at the neck and a picture of Gaby and a picture Gaby drew for Miss Rose had the glass frames broken. The thieves made off with thousands of dollars of wigs and extensions. “I think they were here to steal the extensions we had just go in,” she said. Continued Page 4

Deportation imminent for Langley man JOSÉ FIGUEROA PLEADS FOR SUPPORT AS HE PREPARES TO TAKE REFUGE IN CHURCH MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

José Figueroa’s Walnut Grove Lutheran Church is holding a prayer gathering on Thursday morning and a press conference Friday, after learning he will likely be deported back to El Salvador any day. “Canadian Border Service Agency is moving forward to try to enforce the deportation order,” said Figueroa on Tuesday. “They called me for an interview to fill out

application for travel documents and discuss removal.” He may be forced to seek sanctuary at a church. “It is so unfortunate that they are doing this, since it just sends the wrong message to my family.” Figueroa is pleading with fellow Langley residents to send letters to the department of citizenship and immigration and to Langley MP Mark Warawa, calling for ac-

genocide at the time, that was enough to exclude Figueroa under broad new anti-terrorism guidelines imposed in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy. His case manager even indicated that he could parent his three children using Skype on the computer. His wife, who is recovering from major surgery and doesn’t work, is expected to raise their children alone. Continued Page 5

Mountain parents push student safety M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

Parents and members of R.E. Mountain Secondary’s PAC are ramping up concerns about student pedestrian safety, after numerous near-misses with cars, and because the dark days of fall are now here. Mountain is the second

most-populated school in Langley, functioning way over capacity, and there are no sidewalks for students to safely walk to and from school. Students must walk on the shoulder of busy 202A Street. Parents and the PAC have been calling on the Township to do something since last year, said

one parent, Dan Hunter. He has two children going to Mountain. “Are they going to wait for a child to die?” asks Hunter about the Township. He points to the tragedy at a Surrey school last month where a girl was killed and other students injured after a motorcycle barreled through them while they

Con tributed ph oto

Students at R.E. Mountain Secondary walk along 202A Street in September, after classes end for the day. Conflicts between car and pedestrian traffic on the street are frequent, given the large numbers of students now attending the school, which serves the Willoughby area.

were crossing the road. But a temporary solution could come to the school by early in the new year, said Township head planner Ramin Seifi Wednesday morning. At the next Township council meeting on Monday, he will be asking council to approve funding for asphalt curbing to be put in. Hunter’s son leaves the house around 7:30 a.m. in the dark to get to school. “He has told me of all sorts of close calls with vehicles bumping a student or my son having to grab someone out of the way of a vehicle. The traffic is getting much worse.” Mountain is overpopulated and was built at a time when Willoughby was a quiet area of acreage homes and farms. Willoughby is now bursting at the seams with high-density housing. The Langley Events Centre is beside the school, and some motorists choose 202A Street as an alternative to 200 and 208 Streets. Last year, the school PAC asked the Township to respond to their concerns. In March, Seifi replied that eventually that road will be turned into four lanes. In the meantime, the proper solution is to put in asphalt curbs and better lighting. Seifi estimates that will cost $30,000. Township Councillor Charlie Fox tried to get money for a temporary fix to the no-sidewalk problem on 202A Street during the afternoon session of council on Monday, Sept. 23. The motion by Fox wanted

council to include money for some kind of “safe, yet temporary” measure to make the road safer in the 2014 budget process. There is “no identified sidewalk other than the delineated white line along the shoulder of the road, both north and south bound” his resolution said. Something needs to be done quickly to provide students with a safe route to and from school, Fox told council. “I’ve done my homework,” he said. “My wife worked there for 20 years. She was a counsellor.” Councillor Grant Ward thought that was rushing things. He convinced the rest of council to order up a staff report on the issue, including a summary of “complaints, incidents, options and costs” before making a decision. Councillor Kim Richter and Fox voted against the referral. But Seifi confirmed that he will bring the safety proposal to council at its Oct. 7 meeting. Hunter created a Facebook page regarding the safety concerns for students and within a day, numerous comments about close calls were put up by students and parents. Seifi confirmed that staff will be recommending to council to install asphalt curbing. “We are asking for the funding to be put into the 2014 budget, but we hope to begin work on it as early as January or February if council agrees to expedite the project,” said Seifi.

Long said council should simply follow the committee recommendations it asked for. “They gave us three suggestions,” Long said. “This [hyphenated name] is not one of them.” Long complained council is too willing to override its own committee. “This is not the first time we’ve poked them in the eye.” Councillor Michelle Sparrow

said the committee’s role is to advise council, “but it is up to council to decide to accept the advice.” When the proposal came to a vote, the majority approved the name with councillors Ward, Kim Richter and David Davis voting no. Long refused to participate in the vote. The trail will run near a new townhouse development along McBride Street and what used to be Station Road.

Hyphenated trail name sets off a heated debate D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

A debate over the name of a proposed Fort Langley trail saw Township Councillors Bob Long and Charlie Fox clash over a proposal to use a double name instead of picking from three choices suggested by the council heritage advisory committee. Long, the co-chair of the committee, said the name ought be either McBride Trail, Station Trail

or Mavis Trail, as recommended by the advisory body. Fox said the route would “most appropriately” be named “McBride - Station Trail” which combines two of the three names suggested by the committee. Long said that was a poor choice because the trail runs near the historic CNR train station. “There is no McBride [railway] station,” Long said. “This is just going to confuse

the public and dilute our history.” Other councillors disagreed. “With the hyphen in there, you’re separating the two [names],” Bev Dornan said. “With the hyphen, I think it’s fine.” Councillor Grant Ward suggested sending the double-barreled name back to the heritage committee for more input, but couldn’t muster enough support from the rest of council.

Participate in an earthquake simulation drill.

This is the fifth break-in in five years at the 56 Avenue location. Her insurance deductible is $1,000, so she has opted to pay out of pocket to replace the glass. Now her husband is purchasing bars for the windows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bad guys are running around free and we are going to be barred in,â&#x20AC;? she said.

It was only last month that she was robbed of her purse and iPhone. She, along with her husband, manage the building and a man buzzed them, pretending to be interested in renting a suite. Once inside the building office, she went to get a pen to take down his information and he grabbed her purse and ran. Many people know her and

have been helped by Miss Rose. Several called The Times to let the newspaper know of this crime and its impact. Adams still manages to keep a sense of humour about all of it, saying the focus is always on helping people going through cancer. If you know anything about this crime, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

José Figueroa receiving nation-wide support for bid to remain in Canada From Page 1

All three children were born in Langley. Their oldest is autistic and has benefited from the school system supports here. There would be no such help in El Salvador. Figueroa has run a very public campaign to fight the ruling and has found support from around the world and from Warawa and other federal politicians. This summer, Newton-North Delta NDP MP Jinny Sims, immigration opposition critic, presented peti-

tions in Parliament and brought Figueroa’s case up in question period. His role with the FMLN was never violent and Immigration Canada recognizes that. Numerous people, including his church pastor, have been supporting Figueroa in his cause to stay in Canada, including José Jr.’s teacher. People from all over Canada have been involved in the ‘We are José’ campaign, and musicians and documentary makers have publicized his case.

20 Anniversary Open House

A controversial composting facility planned for 25330 88 Ave. in Fort Langley is on hold. Glenval Organics, the owner of the site, has been told it cannot proceed without the permission of the provincial Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). In a June 4 letter provided to The Times, ALC executive director Brian Underhill says the commission â&#x20AC;&#x153;has concluded the proposed facility would not be in compliance with the Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulationâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? The ALC based its decision on its review of information provided by Glenval at the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The information submitted makes no reference to a farm operation on the subject property and as such this facility would be considered a nonfarm use,â&#x20AC;? the Underhill letter states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because you have made a non-farm use application to

the Township of Langley and the Township resolved not to forward the application to the ALC for a decision, you do not have approval to proceed with this land use in the Agricultural Land Reserve.â&#x20AC;? The ruling is a setback for Glenval, which received approval from Metro Vancouver three months earlier. The regional authority issued a solid waste licence to Glenval Organics on April 9 that limited processing to yard waste and wood chips and excluded smellier food waste. Glenval has maintained it could operate the composting facility without ALC approval under Agricultural Act provisions that would restrict the plant to selling half of the compost it makes while keeping the rest on the site. Now that the commission has decided differently, Glenval Organics CEO Gary Nickel said the company may seek a court ruling on the matter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at all of our options right now,â&#x20AC;? Nickel told

The Times. Nickel said he knows of at least two other Langley farmers operating identical composting operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do exactly what we do, but they have no permit [from Metro Vancouver],â&#x20AC;? Nickel said. He estimates the two-year fight to build the compost plant has cost his company â&#x20AC;&#x153;north of $200,000.â&#x20AC;? The proposal generated a storm of criticism, with opponents dominating public hearings. Many speakers told representatives of Glenval Organics and Metro Vancouver that they are against the plant because they are worried about the effect it will have on their neighbourhood and their property values. Langley Township council unanimously voted against the Glenval Organics project in February. Because of the ALC ruling, the Metro Vancouver decision on a Glenval application for an air quality permit has been suspended.

Mixed school enrolment numbers SEVERAL INDICATIO NS THAT GROWTH IS COMING MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

Preliminary head counts indicate that every catchment in the Langley School District is either in decline or holding stable except Mountain Secondary, said David Green, Langley School District secretary-treasurer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;R.E. Mountain catchment is up 238 students from last year,â&#x20AC;? said Green at the Sept. 24 Board

of Education meeting. Parents are still choosing choice schools over regular neighbourhood schools in the district, with an increase in 80 students. Many of those students are international, he added. But the trend of declines may be changing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The elementary schools are showing increases, especially in the Kindergarten classes, so

this indicates declining trends will change,â&#x20AC;? said Green. In fact, elementary schools saw 202 more students this year over last. Even more international students have come to Langley. The district expected around 480 and received 520, which helps with revenue, he said. There an estimated 19,900 students enrolled in Langley schools this year.

Cell vote policy questioned DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re por t e r

A last-minute objection by Telus failed to prevent passage of a new Langley Township regulation that requires an 80 per cent vote from people living near any proposed new cell phone antenna. Telus director of government relations Maureen Kirkbride and real estate and government affairs manager Chad Marlatt spoke at the Monday night meeting, shortly before the final vote on the new tower regulations. Kirkbride asked for a postponement to allow company representatives to meet with council and explain their concerns. They said the 80 per cent requirement would be all but im-

possible to achieve, but were unable to say what would be an acceptable threshold. “We don’t want to be prescriptive,” Kirkbride said. Under questioning by Councillor Bob Long, Marlatt said Telus knows most people don’t want a cell tower near their homes. Usually, he said, only 10 per cent of nearby residents will support a new cell tower. While the Township doesn’t actually have legal authority to prevent construction of cell towers, Marlatt said Industry Canada, the federal authority that does have the power, will likely defer to the Township. “They [Industry Canada] don’t actually make decisions,” Mar-

The Wickertree presents

latt said. He said Langley needs to upgrade its cell networks to keep up with “overwhelming” demand from a rapidly growing community, and that means upgrading exising towers and adding new ones. Marlatt said Langley currently has the second highest number of complaints about cell service in B.C. Marlatt and Kirkbride both said better cell coverage would improve public safety because 60 per cent of all 911 calls come from mobile devices. They said the Telus position is supported by the other cellphone service providers operating in Langley. Council later approved the regulation by an 8-1 vote.

Photo authenticity questioned DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re por t e r

An internet photo of a train full of fireworks rumbling through Langley may be a fake, Township council has been told. Railway and port representatives have advised the Township/ Canadian Pacific railway advisory panel that they looked into the photos, supposedly showing a train with a large and colourful fireworks logo covering the sides of several containers passing through Langley in March. No fireworks are ever shipped through Langley, they said, and

moreover, the containers they handle do not carry that kind of advertising on the sides. A written record of the CP Community Advisory Panel meeting of Sept. 19 shows Rich Poznikoff of Canadian Pacific, the co-chair of the committee, advised the meeting that neither his railway nor CN Rail “were involved in the possible shipment of fireworks as noted in a recent email from a Langley resident.” Dennis Bickel, director, trades area, Port Metro Vancouver, said the only advertising allowed on

container rail cars is the name of the shipping line. “The comment was made that the photo may have been altered,” the minutes of the meeting show. On Monday, Councillor Charlie Fox, the Township co-chair of the panel, said an online search for the fireworks company listed in the photos only found an out-of-service phone number. The online photo surfaced around the time of the July 6 train derailment and explosion that killed more than 40 people in Lac-Megantic, Que.

Brent Parent is appealing his 12-year driving ban, given to him as part of his five and one-half year sentence for deliberately killing Silas O’Brien with his truck. The 2008 incident on 16 Avenue, which occurred late at night as O’Brien and two friends were on their way to the Vancouver Airport to begin a vacation, was one of the worst cases of road rage ever seen in Langley. When the B.C. Court of Appeal deals with his case, if it ever actually gets to court, perhaps the panel of judges should consider imposing a lifetime driving ban instead. This man does not deserve a driver’s licence. He has 64 driving infractions and five driving suspensions, which he has accumulated in his years on the road. When he was sentenced in May, 2012, Judge Terence Schultes suggested that he take advantage of anger management courses which would be available to him in a federal prison. Clearly, the judge saw that there was a problem there that needed fixing. The basis of his appeal is that he will need to drive when he is released from jail, in order to work. It’s too bad he hadn’t thought of those consequences the other 69 times he’s run afoul of the law. There are many people who find it difficult to work because they can’t get drivers’ licences. In some cases, it is due to suspensions. In other cases, they are physically incapable of driving. Yet somehow, they manage to make the best of their situations. Parent has been given many, many chances to improve his driving habits. It is obvious from his actions, when he struck and killed O’Brien, and afterwards, when he didn’t come forward despite an outpouring of emotion, that he has no concern for other people. He thinks only of himself. He has been given far more than a second chance in the past. He has been given no fewer than 69 chances. With such an appalling driving record, he doesn’t deserve to have a driver’s licence ever again. The Court of Appeal should take it away for good.

A long-awaited bus

they

Chilliwack transit users have witnessed unprecedented growth in the past year, and even better days are ahead. The regional board approved plans for a transit line that will link Chilliwack with Langley, through Abbotsford. The bus will finally join transit systems within the three cities, and provide an important link to the TransLink system of Metro Vancouver. The decision still needs the support of city councils in both Chilliwack and Abbotsford. However, given the support city representatives showed in approving the FVRD decision, that support seems likely. And well it should be. Up until now moving between Chilliwack, Abbotsford and beyond required a vehicle. Yes, there was the Greyhound bus, and this year students at the University of the Fraser Valley have banded together to offer a shuttle service between campuses in Chilliwack and Abbotsford. But not since the days of B.C. Electric rail line has there been a regular and reliable link between the cities. If approved, the bus line will not only provide Chilliwack commuters with access to Abbotsford, it will also link with express lines in Langley that tie into the the SkyTrain system that taxpayers here helped build. But the river runs both ways. It means people who work in Chilliwack but live somewhere else will have a more economical way to get to work. And that’s good news for the local economy. No one wants to see Chilliwack become a bedroom community to the rest of the Lower Mainland. We want to see jobs here, and businesses that contribute to the tax base and local economy. But those businesses need employees who have reliable and affordable access to their jobs. There has long been a call for a commuter train to fill this need, and those how have advocated for a rail line may be disappointed. But an express bus is an important first step. Ridership numbers will provide important data on the viability of that option — and the eventual total integration of Lower Mainland rapid transit. — Chilliwack Progress

Tree-cutting shock Editor: It was with shock that I read â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clear-cutting destroys more of South Langley, (The Times, Sept. 19). I immediately drove to the location on 198 Street and saw the decimation letter writer Bev Blake spoke of. It was almost a total clear-cutting of 2.5 acres, with the exception of three trees that remain standing at the front south corner where the driveway used to be. My parents had sold this property about 1991 and the later owners had definitely let the place grow into disarray, which was sad to see, but this was nothing short of shocking for me. In 1972 my parents built the house that still stands, and the positive here is that it has been newly updated. I lived there all of my teenage years, along with my four siblings, where Dad had us â&#x20AC;&#x153;selectively cutâ&#x20AC;? the densely-treed property. In the early 1980s, my Dad planted the row of cedars across the front to create future privacy. I watched as someone was cutting branches from these same trees as they lay strewn, bare-rooted across the ground. This is an atrocity that I hope new landscaping can improve, but it will take years to recover the ambience and environment of this beautiful neighbourhood. Why do people buy into the Fernridge/Brookswood area if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the trees? There are plenty of other areas in Langley which have already been defaced. I realize that things will change in the name of progress, but how is this progress? S. FRICKER, BROOKSWOOD

Snouts in the trough Editor: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who wrote the editorial (The Times, Oct. 1) suggesting longer terms for municipal politicians, but they clearly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything about the subject or democracy. Every year, the Union of B.C. Municipalities trots out this self-serving claptrap to keep their greedy snouts in the public trough a little longer. The current three-year terms (which were brought in by Rita Johnston) have been a disaster, right up there with scrapping the Inspector of Municipalities and â&#x20AC;&#x153;empoweringâ&#x20AC;? councils through the Community Charter. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a former mayor and councillor. We used to have very economical annual elections and a high level of accountability and stewardship. November elections were a routine job carried out by staff at little cost. Now staff are apparently incapable, and every third year â&#x20AC;&#x153;consultantsâ&#x20AC;? are hired to run an unnecessarily expensive election. Elected officials now treat the public with contempt, secure in the knowledge that they cannot be voted out for three whole years and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to report to anyone in between. The harm being done to B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communities by entrenched politicians and mandarins is enormous. Bring back annual accountability, I say. Give the voters a voice, a vote and a veto on incompetence. Stop this degradation and dumbing-down of our democratic system. JOHN ALLEN, HARRISON HOT SPRINGS

Critter Care there to help wildlife Editor: Dear Maureen Miller (The Times, Sept. 24), I would like to reply to your letter headlined â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many animals falling through the cracks.â&#x20AC;? Yes, unfortunately like people, many animals fall through the cracks. To say that organizations like LAPS, Mountainview Conservation Centre, SPCA or Critter Care Wildlife Society, of which I am the founder/executive director, do not care about animals is totally offensive and untrue. All of these organizations do great work in specialized areas. No one can do it all. Yes, I agree with most of your article, because for 28 years I have dealt with wild mammals who are admitted in leghold traps, butchered in cult ceremonies, burned in chimneys and the list goes on. Critter Care has saved more than 35,000 wild mammals in 28 years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not for us, but for them. Nothing is ever done for cruelty cases, because they are just a raccoon, coyote or whatever.

Positives, negatives in getting older Editor: Old age is no fun. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let people tell you that it is. It has its moments, of course, brought about by friendship and love of family. Fortunately most of us who find that we inhabit this creaking realm can laugh about it at the expense of our frailties. Those of us who are computer literate receive an abundant supply of humourous reminders of the troubles we share from pals of the same vintage. Constantly there are reminders of our shrinking brains and the troubles it causes. Peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names and numbers come first on my list of disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glad to meet you, Rogerâ&#x20AC;? I will say in all sincerity.

in my old home of 20 years ago. But the brain drain is only part of the problem. What was once a short and delightful walk or table tennis game now turns into a painful marathon of aching legs and muscles. Any complaints about the condition to the younger set bring about the same admission that â&#x20AC;&#x153;At your age, you are lucky to be alive.â&#x20AC;? Oh yeah? How can they judge, and maybe they are wrong. There could be another wonderful existence lying beyond the fringe of death. But most of us begrudgingly accept the frailties we have with the old saying rushing through our minds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.â&#x20AC;? MIKE HARVEY, LANGLEY

Editor: It is always unfortunate to read of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life being cut short and taken tragically. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more tragic is the fact that Brent Parent is yet another example of how ICBC, as well as the court system, fail to take true steps in preventing and properly handing down adequate sentences for such crimes. Five suspensions and 64 driving convictions is a joke. The warnings were clear evidence that Parent was and still remains a hazard to drivers across the province. There are many, many people with similar driving

convictions still trolling the roads, until another preventable tragedy takes place. Had the proper steps been taken on many levels to ensure safety in his case, then family and friends would not be forever without their loved one. I believe that Parent was the driver of the truck, but the justice system as well as ICBC, were and are the vehicle that allowed this horrible tragedy to take place. T. GREER, LANGLEY

The new Fraser Valley Express bus would connect Chilliwack to Langley, through Abbotsford, in under one hour.

After years in the works, residents will soon be able to commute from Chilliwack to Abbotsford to Langley, and beyond, by public bus.

The Fraser Valley Express bus was unanimously approved by the Fraser Valley Regional District at its Sept. 24 board meeting through a new bylaw. “I’m pretty excited about this particular connection because

finally, that invisible border between TransLink and the rest of the world will be erased,” said FVRD director and Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman.

“People who want to get out of their cars to go to work will find a convenient way to do that…I think it’s been that missing link that the public has been asking for, for a long, long time.” For the first time, a BC Transit bus will seamlessly connect the three municipalities, which have a combined population of 317,000. The transportation authority is estimating 136,800 passenger trips annually. The planned travel time from Chilliwack to Abbotsford is 30 minutes, with a total commute from Chilliwack to Langley in under one hour. There will be a few stops in each municipality at key large centres, still to be worked out. Already confirmed is a stop at Langley’s Carvolth Transit Exchange, providing easy access

to the SkyTrain via another express bus, as well as to neighbouring municipalities such as Surrey. The Monday to Saturday service would run every 60 to 90 minutes during peak times, and 90 to 120 minutes off-peak. “We’re trying to make it a very quick and easy service to provide access to jobs within Chilliwack and Abbotsford, and everywhere else in the Valley,”

We Rent, Sell and Lease... ALL MAKES AND MODELS

said BC Transit senior planner Michelle Orfield. Existing Fraser Valley routes have proven the demand for public buses. The Harrison Hot Springs– Agassiz–Chilliwack bus is “booming” in ridership and will receive an increase in service, according to Orfield. The Mission–Abbotsford and Aldergrove–Abbotsford lines are also doing very well, as is the Mission connection of the West Coast Express. The transportation bylaw will still need to be approved by Abbotsford and Chilliwack city councils. Both city mayors were enthusiastic about the initiative at the FVRD board meeting. Although it usually takes 18 months to purchase bus fleets, Orfield is optimistic that BC Transit will be able to get this system up and running by next September.

Bridge tolls, gas tax coming NEW FLIGHTS! up short for TransLink JEFF NAGEL Black Press

TransLink will lose more money on its underperforming Golden Ears Bridge and to declining gas taxes, worsening its struggle to finance the current level of transit service in the face of growing demand. Tolls from motorists who pay to cross the fouryear-old bridge connecting Langley and Maple Ridge continue to fall short of the payments TransLink must make. TransLink officials told Metro Vancouver mayors Thursday the annual subsidy for the $800-million bridge that opened in 2009 is expected to grow from $30 million now to around $40 million in each of the next two years. It was always expected to be subsidized in the initial years but the red ink is stretching out longer because the use of the bridge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 32,000 vehicles per day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t growing as fast as projected. The take from the 17-cent-a-litre regional gas tax is also forecast to drop for the first time in 2016, continuing a trend of weakness that has spurred the transportation authority to seek different, more sustainable sources. More fuel efficient cars, drivers refueling outside the region and increased transit use are all factors. TransLink has sought to contain costs and shuffle bus service to its advantage, but with its overall revenue of $1.44 billion a year not rising as fast as population growth, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being stretched thinner over time. Executive vice-president Bob Paddon said the level of transit service delivered per capita peaked in the region in 2009 and has now declined to 2007 levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the path weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on, with no new revenue sources and no ability to expand, we anticipate

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be at 2004 levels of service per capita by 2020,â&#x20AC;? he said. With more money now going out than comes in TransLink has begun to draw down its accumulated reserve to plug an annual deficit of about $20 million. It also plan to start liquidating prime real estate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as its former Oakridge transit centre â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â to pay for existing transit on the hope new funding sources will be approved in a few years. Some mayors object to selling an estimated $200 million worth of property to fund operations, instead of earmarking it for future capital projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cannibalizing,â&#x20AC;? White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said, predicting TransLink will â&#x20AC;&#x153;hit a wallâ&#x20AC;? in the years ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crisis is being understated by this strategy,â&#x20AC;? added Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie. TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it either, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no choice other than immediate deep cuts to service to balance the budget. That would risk driving transit users off the system who might never return after more money arrives. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart told Jarvis more service is needed now, particularly in fast-growing suburbs, so they develop based on the use of transit, not cars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building, as you asked us to, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supply the transit until six years after the people move in theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have two or three cars by then and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never get them back into transit.â&#x20AC;? Stewart also asked when TransLink will revise its fare zone system, which arbitrarily charges riders more on short trips that cross a zone boundary. Paddon said a full fare policy review is expected in 2016, once enough data comes in from the new Compass cards rolling out over the next year.

Stylish living at Woodbridge’s Salix in Surrey By Kerry Vital

The Clayton Heights neighbourhood is one of Surrey’s most popular areas for families and first-time buyers alike, with its easy access to amenities, shopping, dining and recreation. Now Woodbridge Homes is offering beautiful homes at a great value with its condominium development Salix. “Sales have been going very well here,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “We’re in the final stage of sales now, with a good

variety of homes left.” The remaining plans are mostly two-bedroom and den plans, ranging from 850 to 1,000 square feet. The five-storey Georgian-inspired building features a red brick exterior, lush landscaping and classic iron work, and every home includes a patio or balcony. Oversized windows let natural light pour in while the nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the top and bottom floors) add an incredible sense of space to your new home. Most units feature beautiful views, so you may have

some trouble tearing yourself away from spending all your free time outside taking in the scenery, including Mount Baker. “The location has been working really well for us,” Carlsen says. “You’re in a small, quiet building that really stands above the crowd.” Homes start at $219,900. For more information, visit www. salixliving.com, call 604-530-0054 or visit the presentation centre at 6477 196th Street, Surrey, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Polygon’s Canyon Springs is built in a West Coast style, and features spacious ﬂoorplans with gorgeous features such as rich laminate ﬂooring, stainless-steel appliances and engineered stone countertops.

Natural beauty abounds at Canyon Springs By Kerry Vital

The Lower Mainland is famous for its outdoor lifestyle and variety of recreational activities. Most residents think of the North Shore when they want to get outside. Now, Polygon is bringing outdoor living and gorgeous homes together with Canyon Springs, its new collection of apartment residences in North Vancouver. “There are no other comparable new communities in Lynn Valley,” says sales manager Laura Cavanagh. “It’s been popular with local buyers especially since we are currently offering buyers a special financing

package.” Available until Oct. 14 only, Polygon is offering five-year, 2.95 per cent financing as part of their pre-construction sales program. “This is a great opportunity to secure a home before we close our doors on Oct. 14,” says Cavanagh. The curb appeal is readily apparent at Canyon Springs, with its contemporary West Coast architecture that fits perfectly with the surrounding natural beauty of the neighbourhood. The one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment residences are spacious and inviting, ranging from about 630 to 1,100 square feet. “These are really efficient floorplans,” Cavanagh says. “There’s no wasted space at all.” Elegant laminate flooring throughout (with plush carpeting in the bedrooms) sets a modern tone for your new space, complemented by the nine-foot ceilings in the living and dining rooms. Buyers can choose between two colour schemes, Dark and

White. The kitchens are particularly beautiful, with stainless-steel appliances and premium rift-cut, flat-panel cabinetry in oak or glossy white. The cabinets are complemented by engineered stone countertops, a handset tile backsplash and contemporary halogen track and under-cabinet lighting. The bathrooms are relaxing and luxurious, with imported porcelain tile flooring, flatpanel laminate cabinetry and a modern tub with a ceramic tile tub and shower surround. Your morning routine will be easy with the modern vanity mirror and lighting. The ensuite also includes engineered stone countertops and Grohe polished chrome tub and shower faucets that lend a touch of elegance to the space. The outdoors is all around you at Canyon Springs, and residents will easily be able to take advantage of this on their large deck or patio. Most ground-level homes will even have a private yard. Homeowners at Canyon Springs will have

access to a fully equipped fitness studio overlooking an outdoor terrace, an on-site resident manager, a dog wash station and bike cleaning area and a spacious lounge with a fireplace. The landmark corner will also showcase a dramatic water feature and cast bronze art piece designed by local artist Marie Khouri. Venturing off the property, you’ll find shopping, dining and schools all nearby, as well as the North Shore mountains and easy transit or car access to downtown Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland. The close-knit community of Lynn Valley is like very few others in Metro Vancouver, where everyone from shoppers to yogis and freeriders to dog walkers enjoys an ideal balance between wild spaces and urban convenience. Homes start at $359,900. For more information on the homes or the special financing package, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-973-0298 or drop by the presentation centre at 2517 Mountain Highway, open daily except Fridays between noon and 6 p.m.

HOWEVER YOU DEFINE COMMUNITY, WE CALL IT AN EASY WAY TO MEET AND CONNECT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS. It’s just one of the many reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home. It could be at the chalk art festival on Main Street (see below!), or one of the many other events, like movie nights in the summer or resident parties. How about chatting with fellow dog owners at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just hanging out at the coffee shops and restaurants, at a wine tasting at Everything Wine, or on a bench on Main Street. You’ll see and meet lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing… and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy. Because loving where you live should be about more than just loving your stunning condo (though we only have a few left!).

Langley claims to be the horse capital of B.C., but new businesses in town are aiming to make the city more about horsepower. The area is quickly becoming known as a destination for automotive sales, particularly luxury vehicles. Mercedes-Benz is the latest to add its name to the roster of car dealerships making their home along the Langley Bypass. “Langley has been identified as the new hub for luxury,” said Tanis Sullivan, marketing manager for Mercedes-Benz dealership owner The Dilawri Group. Sullivan said that Langley is home to a number of Mercedes Benz owners in need of service. The new dealership is the largest in Western Canada and the only sales and service centre in the Fraser Valley, serving clients from as far as Chilliwack. “There’s a demand,” said Sullivan. “There’s a niche here for Mercedes-Benz.” In addition, Mercedes managed to snag a prime piece of real estate, sitting on the corner of the Langley Bypass and Glover Road. “We couldn’t get a more prominent location,” said Sullivan. She added that the dealership has the potential to appeal to a broader demographic than people might expect, particularly with new B-Class vehicles priced in the neighbourhood of $30,000. Amidst the balloons, jazz trio, bright blue sugary-sweet cupcakes and live car reviews from Zack Spencer of Driving Tele-

of its reliability and features. As Mullens browsed the showroom, Ava, his daughter, excitedly climbed in and around the vehicles; at the sight of a shiny red convertible, she proclaimed that was the one she liked. Mullens said they’re looking for a sporty sedan.

How Input Will Be Used - Input received will be considered, along with technical and economic information, in developing project designs or plans, including engineering and environmental mitigation plans, for the proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project.

City honoured for being business-friendly The City of Langley has been declared ‘open for business.’ The City received the province’s Open for Business Award, recognizing it as one of the most business-friendly communities in B.C., during a ceremony at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) 110th annual convention on Sept. 20. The Open for Business Awards recognize innovative local policies, projects and programs that support small business. In addition to the City of Langley, this year’s recipients include Central Saanich, Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Fort St. James, Kelowna and Penticton. As an incentive to promote an open-for-business culture, government is providing $10,000 to each winning community to fund a local, small-business friendly program that aligns with the principles of the B.C. Small Business Accord. “Small businesses are the heart and soul of the community, and the Open for Business award winners are helping it beat a little stronger in their municipalities,” said Naomi Ya-

mamoto, Minister of State for Tourism and Small Business. “Communities across our province can look to the winners for best practices and help make B.C. the most small-business friendly jurisdiction in Canada. Congratulations to the winners. Every day, you help support small business and live the spirit of the B.C. Small Business Accord.” This year, the B.C. Small Business Roundtable received submissions from a record 39 communities, and short-listed 15 finalists. Award evaluations were based on local measures that make it easier to do business in that community, including enhancing small-business competitiveness, recognizing the contributions of small businesses to the community, and promoting the principles of the B.C. Small Business Accord. The evaluation criteria reflected the Accord by recognizing that when small businesses are celebrated and supported by their communities, they are more likely to be competitive and innovative.

Wickertree, Tom Lee Music team up Tom Lee Music and The Wickertree have teamed up to present a venue for young musicians while at the same time providing some ambiance for shoppers.

Beginning this weekend and running through until March, a Yamaha grand piano will be at the Centre Court at The Wickertree (20460 Langley Bypass)

CLOVA

where some of the area’s talented young pianists will perform. It will be a chance for the young talent to showcase their musical abilities while providing an

enhanced ambiance in The Wickertree’s showroom. The pianists will perform every Saturday and Sunday from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Langley’s Cherie Storms, in just her second season, has captured the Sports Car Club of British Columbia B-spec title.

No catching Storms GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

Cherie Storms never dreamed about getting behind the wheel of a car and seeing just how high she could make the speedometer go. “I was always ‘I am too busy painting my fingernails and going to the beach with my friends,’” she said with a laugh. Her father, Curt Storms, was always into motorsports and racing, so she knew about the sport. “I went maybe once or twice a year to watch the races but I didn’t really get involved until a couple of years ago,” she said. A few years back, she completed a driver training program — something her father was always trying to persuade her to do. “It was through that process that I went ‘OK, this is actually pretty fun,’” Storms admitted. Last year, she began racing in the Sport Car Club of British Columbia. She also now volunteers with the organization. But it is behind the wheel that the 29-year-old Langley woman is making the most noise. She capped off her first season capturing the novice of the year and rookie of the year awards and was ranked sixth

Garrett Billings has survived the first cut in his quest to wear the Maple Leaf this summer. Billings was announced as one of 51 invitees by the Canadian Lacrosse Association for a selection camp which runs Oct. 11 to Oct. 14 on the campus at Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y. The players want to represent Team Canada at the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) world championships July 19 to July 19 in Denver, Colo. “Getting from 97 applicants to the 51 Team Canada invitee list was certainly no easy task and when you look at the quality and character of the selection camp list, our job doesn’t get any easier,” said Canadian coach Randy Mearns. Billings, who came through the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association, plays in the National Lacrosse League with the Toronto Rock and in the Western Lacrosse Association with the Langley Thunder. Also earning invitations to the Canadian camp were Brett Mydske, Adam Jones and Mark Matthews of the Thunder, Langley Jr. Thunder’s Danny McDermott and Rhys Duch, who plays in the NLL with the Vancouver Stealth.

Lennerton snags Gold Glove award Langley’s Jordan Lennerton has earned a Gold Glove Award. Lennerton is a first-baseman for the Toledo Mud Hens, the Triple-A affiliate of Major League Baseball’s Detroit Tigers. The award recognizes a player for their defensive prowess and the winners were announced on Tuesday (Oct. 1). The honourees were chosen throughout the 10 North American-based minor leagues and were presented by Rawlings Sporting Goods Company Inc. The 27-year-old played with the Langley Blaze before going to junior college and then university at Oregon State. He was a Tigers draft pick in 2008 and was also chosen to play in this past summer’s MLB Futures Game and in the Triple-A all-star game. In his first season at the Triple-A level — the highest level before the major leagues — he hit .278 with 17 home runs and 57 RBIs in 139 games.

Spartans tame Wolves Buoyed by one of their most complete efforts of the season, the Trinity Western Spartans returned to the win column. The Spartans women’s soccer team scored four times — twice in each half — as they routed the host Northern British Columbia (UNBC) Timberwolves 4-0 in Prince George. “We came out with lots of energy and had chance after chance in the first half,” said coach Graham Roxburgh. “It was a good overall performance and was really pleased with our start. We had energy and passed the ball well.” Natalie Boyd opened the scoring in the fifth minute and Jennifer Castillo doubled the lead in first-half stoppage time. Krista Gommeringer blew the game open with goals five minutes apart in the 83rd and 88th minutes, respectively.

Rachel Bedek stopped both shots for the shutout. The Trinity Western Spartans men’s soccer team could not build on the momentum of a scoreless draw against the fourthranked Alberta Golden Bears, dropping a 3-1 decision to the Saskatchewan Huskies. Both games were played at TWU’s Rogers Field. The Spartans snapped a five-game losing streak with the 0-0 draw against Alberta on Friday and went ahead 1-0 the next day against the Huskies when Jarvis Ambaka opened the scoring in the 29th minute. But the Huskies tallied twice in less than five minutes before halftime and tacked on an insurance goal in the 67th minute for the 3-1 win. The results leave Trinity Western with a 1-6-1 mark.

Bears defence shuts down Knights in shutout victory The North Langley Bears controlled the line of scrimmage and were able to establish a strong ground game in picking up their first win of the season. The peewee football team scored a 6-0 win over the Meadow Ridge Knights. Callum Middleton, Ayden Holloway, Chris Morrison, Ian Courtney and Noah Courtney were dominant along the line of scrimmage. Shaine Hoy also came up with a big play for the defence, intercepting a Knights pass. ••••• After surrendering an early touchdown, the North Langley Bears defence tightened up, pitching a shutout the rest of the way in a 33-6 defeat of the Mission 9ers in atom football action. Owen Sieben had opened the scoring for the Bears with a 55-yard touchdown run behind the blocking

off Nic Reimer and Ian McRitchie. Other touchdowns came courtesy of Tyson Hoy, Jordan Williams, Mathieu Gale and Koan Zieger. Troy Brown had a long run to set up Hoy’s score. James Johnson, Daniel Lambert and Taylor Bear were great at opening up running holes. The defence was led by Semir Hasic, Jayden Bailey and Manny Fotiou while Ezekial Bodill, Joshua Caljouw and Yianni Sergiannidis teamed up to make some key stops. And Caleb Price and Annika Key both recovered key fumbles to get the Bears offence back on the field. ••••• The North Langley junior bantam Bears edged the Meadow Ridge Knights 13-12 in junior bantam football in Maple Ridge. Pablo Wigwigan scored both touchdowns for the Bears. Despite the poor field conditions and

limited visibility because of the rain, quarterback Jacob Stebbings still managed to move the ball through the air with Alex Henderson and Michael Huggan his favourite targets. Charlie May hauled in a successful convert attempt from Stebbings for the one-point margin of victory. Eric Hawkins and Jacob Price had standout games for the defence. ••••• North Langley’s flag football teams were in Mission on Saturday, with both teams on the losing end of identical 3-2 scores. The red squad received touchdowns from Jesse Davison and Tyson Craig while Evan Hoy had several flags (tackles) and Ronan Langford was solid in snapping the ball. The North Langley yellow squad got touchdowns from Ben Evans and Cole Blaschuk.
