Here, Lieutenant Nursing Sister Jessie Lee is shown in 1944, posing with a farmer near Avellino, Italy, where she was sent to work with a mobile Canadian Army hospital. After enlisting in 1942, Middleton also served in England, the Netherlands and in Prince Rupert, B.C.

Jessie Middleton’s wool nurse’s cape is weighted down with medals received for service in the Canadian Army during the Second World War. Almost 70 years later, Jessie has received an additional award, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, granted for a lifetime of humanitarian service to Canadians. She is modest about the recognition: “When I get these things, I feel as though I’m receiving them on behalf of all those classmates and friends that I trained with or worked with in the army, because they also served, and I miss them.”

Now almost 97, Jessie has seen most of her contemporaries pass on, but she holds their memories close to her heart. Born in Murrayville in the middle of the First World War, Jessie was the 12th and last child of farmer James William Lee and his wife Edith Mary Brown. When Jessie was born, two of her oldest brothers were away overseas, fighting the Germans in the trenches of the Western Front: “All my life I knew about Hubert and Sam being in the first war. Occasionally stories would come out, but they talked very little about it.” Jessie grew up in Murrayville and attended the local elementary school before going on to the

old Langley High School on the Fraser Highway. With 11 brothers and sisters, one of them 20 years her senior, she became an aunt when still quite young. When her sister Dorothy Barichello lost her infant son Georgie in 1924, the whole family was devastated. Jessie felt a need to intercede: “I was introduced at quite an early age to death. I had a helpless feeling [but really wanted] to help my sister.” Girls graduating from high school in the mid-1930s had few career options. Those who chose not to marry and raise a family generally trained as secretaries, teachers, or nurses. Jessie had

long wanted to nurse and enrolled in Royal Columbian Hospital’s training program. Living in the hospital’s nursing residence and instructed by doctors and nurses of the “old school,” Jessie sometimes felt stifled: “Most of them were very officious in training. “There were some who had a tender heart, but most of them were very stern in their attitude toward the student nurses — you toed the line.” Jessie qualified as a nurse in September 1939, on the same day that Canada declared war on Germany.

Township plans to appeal court ruling 30-DAY LIMIT PROMPTS COUNCIL TO FILE RESPONSE TO OVERTURNED PERMIT DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese chaired a brief public council meeting in council chambers Monday afternoon, Nov. 4 before a lengthy closed-door session, where council decided to appeal the court ruling that halted construction of the Coulter Berry building.

The Township of Langley will appeal a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that halted work on the controversial Coulter Berry building. Council approved the court challenge at a closed-door meeting on Monday night. While the Chilliwack judge who ruled in favour of the Fort Langley Residents for Sustainable Development and against the Township on Oct. 25 is not expected to release his reasons for another four months, the Township cannot wait for the reasons to file an appeal, Mayor Jack Froese said Tuesday. That’s because of court rules that say a challenge must be filed within 30 days of a decision. “[Filing now] starts the wheels in motion for an appeal,” Froese said. Froese said the appeal was filed as a “protective measure” to reserve the Township’s right to challenge the ruling and it could be withdrawn once the reasons have been released and reviewed. Froese said he understands it is “fairly common” to file appeals before reasons have been released, noting Metro Vancouver recently did the same when it challenged a decision about the Langley university district lands.

A director of the Fort Langley Residents for Sustainable Development said the move by the municipality comes as no surprise. “We fully expected from the get-go that they (the Township) wouldn’t take this lying down,” said Harold Whittell. “Our hope, obviously, is that the judge’s ruling stands as given.” Whittell expected the shutdown of construction work at the Coulter Berry site will continue during the appeal process. “That’s what we’ve been led to believe,” Whittell said. In the Coulter Berry case, Justice Joel Groves set aside the heritage alteration permit issued by the Township that allowed construction of the three-store Coulter Berry building, saying it improperly varied the density restrictions in downtown Fort Langley. The judge did not clarify the ruling any further, saying he would provide written reasons early in the new year. Work on the building began in late summer. It was the subject of a lengthy public hearing before council approved it, and has faced continued opposition from a group of Fort Langley residents and the Langley Heritage Association.

‘No touching’ rule for Coghlan Kindergarteners MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

If you are a Kindergarten student at Coghlan Fundamental Elementary, playing tag or holding your friend’s hand will get you sent to the principal’s office. Langley School District has banned Coghlan Kindergarten students from all forms of hands-on play, including tag and all imaginary play. On Friday, a letter was sent home to parents of all Kindergarten students telling them their kids are banned from all forms of hands-on play. The ban doesn’t impact students in any other grades at the school. The ban means Kindergarten students

are prohibited from “playing tag, holding hands, and any and all imaginary fighting games,” said the letter. The letter goes on to say that the school is going to have a “zero-tolerance policy with regards to hands-on play, resulting in the missing of playtime and trips to the office for those who are unable to follow the rules.” Langley School District spokesperson Ken Hoff said the decision to temporarily ban hands-on play stemmed from concerns made by some parents about rough play on the playground. “Some kids were getting hurt out there. For these students, school is something new and this is a short-term measure

taken to educate kids around appropriate playground play,” said Hoff. “Appropriate play means you can’t grab a kid by his hoodie and pull him to the ground when you are playing tag,” he said. The letter home to parents said “Star Wars” imaginary play was particularly troublesome. It isn’t known how the Kindergarten students are going to be policed, considering all the other students around them can do hands-on play. Hoff said they have received some opposition and some support from parents on this ban. The district has been taken aback about the widespread media coverage on the is-

sue, he said. “It is a temporary measure, a learning tool to let Kindergarten students hit the reset button. No, we are not banning Christmas next,” said Hoff. He stressed that the school district is not considering any policies around hands-on play. He isn’t aware of the district ever doing this before, but said he is under the impression that there are some school districts with a no-touch policy. Reaction to the ban has been swift and widespread, with The Times and other media outlets being deluged with comments from people both inside and outside Langley.

Ribbon cutting ceremony for official opening of Richard Bulpitt Elementary School.

Richard Bulpitt Elementary Officially Open The ribbon was cut to officially open Richard Bulpitt Elementary Monday, October 28th. The Honourable Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education, was joined by Mrs Valerie Bulpitt and two students in the ribbon cutting ceremony. Principal Lucy Lenko hosted the event that included many members of the Bulpitt extended family as well as special guests Mrs. Valerie Bulpitt and Mr. Corey Bulpitt. Other guests included Superintendent of Schools Suzanne Hoffman, Secretary Treasurer David Green and Board of Education Chair Wendy Johnson. Presentations were made to representatives from DGS Construction, Craven Huston Powers Architects and project manager Karen Wagner for their involvement in the construction of Langley School District’s newest school.

World Food Day recognized at WGSS Three days of guest speakers and information kiosks at Walnut Grove Secondary School focused on global and local issues concerning food, water and conservation. Students organized events with the help of teachers Julia Bryant-Taneda and Bruce Young and are hoping that the initiative will continue with more schools joining in to recognize World Food Day. Topics ranged from ‘invasive fish species’ to ‘water initiatives in third world countries’ and also included poetry readings and a water pledge in an effort to reduce water waste. During an assembly, volunteer students ran a simulation of ‘Walking for Water’ in a third world or developing country to highlight the obstacles many people, often children, face in gathering water for their family. To simulate harsh conditions, students were directed to crawl under tables, run around pylons, climb the bleacher steps twice and navigate ‘hostile barriers’ of other volunteers all while carrying heavy 20 litre containers of water. World Food Day is hosted by Food for Famine and more information may be found at www. worldfooddaycanada.ca.

The Grade 3/4/5 choir performed “Let it Grow” and “I Believe I Can Fly” with modified lyrics to show their ‘Bulldog Spirit’ in honouring Richard Bulpitt and their new school. D.W. Poppy’s Redhawk Drummers also performed two compositions. The youngest students of Richard Bulpitt Elementary, those in Grades K, 1 and 2, fittingly performed “Welcome, Welcome to Our School” just prior to the ribbon cutting.

Mercury drops cost $850 MONIQUE TAMMING A Tim es Reporter

Langley Township fire chief Stephen Gamble is defending his department’s decision to send an $850 clean-up bill to a home owner whose thermometer broke, causing a tiny amount of mercury to leak. On April 4, 2012, a mother of two, who is fairly new to the country, called 911 after a she accidentally broke a thermometer. A few drops of mercury spilled out onto her kitchen floor. Gamble said the fire department was dispatched to a “hazmat” call at a residential home in Willoughby. “Our crew met the resident and her children outside after the 911 operator had told them to evacuate the home,” said Gamble. He claims his firefighters went into the home and saw that she had attempted to clean up the mercury, further spreading it. Gamble said his firefighters followed protocol and did the right thing by calling in a private company they use to do hazmat clean ups. The private company is based in Richmond. It billed for six hours of travel time. Gamble said this is because of the time it takes to go get their equipment, drive out on “off duty” time and put on hazmat suits. They also had to put in a costly disposal bill for the mercury. Normally, hazmat clean-up bills go right to a company but because this was a homeowner situation, the fire department took on the bill, with an agreement that the homeowner would pay it, he said. Gamble said the fire department doesn’t have the equipment or the training to handle hazardous ma-

terial situations, even something as simple as a drop of mercury. “If I ordered crews to clean it up that would be against WorkSafe BC regulations,” Gamble said. He said his crew couldn’t have just turned around and left it either. “We don’t have the luxury of throwing it away or ignoring the call and leaving it. The public would expect us to dispose of it safely and if we left it and someone got mercury poisoning that would make our taxpayers liable,” Gamble said. While firefighters are trained to recognize and assess hazardous material situations and to do perimeter protection, they aren’t trained to attend. In the cases of meth labs, it is the RCMP and private contractors they call in to deal with that, he said. “We provide support and outside protection and will spray down a person if they have been contaminated,” Gamble said. He said the original bill the private company provided was quite high. Gamble said the private contractor, his department and the home wner sat down and agreed to cut the bill in half to $850. The homeowner was paying that in monthly installments to the fire department. “But then they stopped paying,” said Gamble. “I don’t know the reason why.” If the bill is not paid, it will be added to their property taxes. The federal ministry of environment provides a step-by-step procedure for homeowners to follow on how to clean up “small mercury spills.” Continued Page 5

$209,000 for new school buses Through its annual fleet renewal program, the provincial government is providing Langley School District with $209,940 for the purchase of two new school buses. The Ministry of Education has worked with the Association of School Transportation Services of B.C. to procure school buses using the Standing Offer Pricing model. Contractors, independent schools and First Nations schools are also able to take advantage of this pricing which has resulted in savings of 10 to 15 per cent each year and saves

districts significant administrative and staff time. The new buses will be delivered next spring In total, the provincial government is providing $11 million to 31 school districts to purchase 96 buses. In order to qualify for replacement, a bus needs to be on a regular route to school, and have met or exceeded the following criteria regarding age and kilometrage: 80-plus passenger buses – 15 years or 400,000 km; 34- to 76-passenger buses – 12 years or 325,000 km and 20- to 29-passenger buses – 10 years or 250,000 km.

Ministry offers practical advice From Page 4

It explains that mercury should be collected and sealed in a tightly sealed container, and the local municipal waste department contacted for further disposal instructions. It is only with “big spills” that a private com-

pany should be called in. Also the ministry recommends calling the poison control centre for further information, if needed. The Times attempted to contact the homeowner, but was unable to. The ministry of environment website is located at ec.gc.ca.

Although hoping to serve in the army, regulations required that she reach the age of 25 before enlisting. While working in the maternity ward at Vancouver General Hospital, however, the effects of war came home to her. “We had the girls come in when the Japanese were moved away from the Coast. [They were] brought in by the police from the PNE grounds where they were segregated. I thought it was terrible that they should be put in the barns. “To me the barns on the farm were clean, but those were horse stalls and they had one cold water tap to get their water from. I wondered how those women came in as clean as they did. I really felt an admiration for them: non-complaining. I had a lot of sympathy for them. I learned eventually that war is war and it’s not nice.” Jessie eventually enlisted in September 1942. She remembers acting “only slightly out of patriotism. “It was the thing to do. There are times in your life when it’s the time to do certain things. You didn’t always do the right thing, necessarily. My friends were all joining up, you see.” Commissioned as Lieutenant Nursing Sister Lee, Jessie was posted to a military hospital in Nanaimo, where most of her cases were related to accidents in training or illnesses like pneumonia: “A lot of people were sick. People got sick, you know, even in the army. I often wondered about them, how they fared overseas.” A few months later, Jessie was sent to a hospital in Prince Rupert. There the apparatus of war was even more obvious than in Vancouver: “There were high searchlights placed at the entrance to the harbour. There was a net across the harbour to stop the submarines. When the ships came in, they just turned off their propellers and drifted across it.” She was finally sent overseas in March, 1943. Her trans-Atlantic voyage on the luxury liner Queen Elizabeth proved anything but luxurious. Eight or 10 nurses were crammed into staterooms meant for only two. The thousands of enlisted men crammed into the hold below fared even worse. Lack of space inside the vessel required each of them to spend 12 hours on deck every day. The weather was cold and damp. When the fog condensed on the woollen blankets the men wore to keep warm, pneumonia often set in: “Is it any wonder that some of them never set foot on English soil? They were carried off on a stretcher and carried back to Canada because they were so sick.” Arriving in England, Jessie was assigned to a Canadian hospital on the Astor estate, just west of London. The hospital dealt with a gamut of injuries and illnesses — everything from burns and fractures to

Jessie recalls the heartbreak of one particularly sad case: “We had one patient – he was recuperated, he was healed, but his face had been burned. When he was transferred to our hospital — when I came on duty that afternoon, the nurse said to me, ‘Just wander down the ward and look around,’ — incredible — if you can imagine eyes, nose, all those parts gone. He had no ears. He went and hid the day the Queen came to visit our hospital.” In England, the war was inescapable. Bombs rained down on helpless civilians. Cities were devastated, and families were separated as children were sent away to safety. Jessie recalls how the Royal Air Force tried to protect the island: “We had the Blitz. It wouldn’t even be sundown. You could go outside and as far as the eye could see, north and south, there would be one, two, three; one, two, three – the planes coming over, and you knew they were going to get it over there in Europe. “About two hours later you’d have them straggling back, and sometimes the sounds of the planes and everything sent some of the boys a little off co-

lour.” Shell shock was not uncommon, with some patients reliving the horrors that had sent them to hospital: “Once they’d hear a plane overhead they’d go berserk. “We had that occasionally in England, in our hospital.” Despite the destruction and carnage, the British people persevered: “I felt that when I came back to England, the bombs were terrible, but it seemed to me, almost before the debris had stopped falling, they were out cleaning it up. They had such spirit.” In July 1944, Jessie was sent to Italy to work with a mobile Canadian Army hospital then located near Avellino, an historic town on a plain northeast of Naples. The Allies had taken Sicily the previous year, but not without heavy cost for the Canadians. A total of 562 Canadians were killed in action there, Murrayville native Robert Monahan, a contemporary of Jessie’s, being among the fallen. When Jessie arrived in Avellino, the Allied invasion of the Italian mainland was well underway. Her unit’s work focused on treating wounded Canadian soldiers. “The Canadian Army was

“I remember one young German boy. I swear he must have been 15. He had an abdominal wound and they did an experiment on him. “He was to have nothing; no fluid or anything by mouth. And you’d turn your back and

he’d somehow got a little something from somebody’s table. But he was a lovely little fellow: 15, blonde, blue-eyed. He was mischievous. It was just a lark for him. They were just patients, never an enemy.” For Jessie, every life was sacred, but no amount of training had prepared her for the horrendous injuries she encountered. Decades later, Jessie’s eyes still fill with tears as she recalls her feeling of helplessness while dealing with wounds so grievous as to be beyond repair: “Every once in a while we would have one who was badly, badly wounded and was not going to survive. “You just had to let them die. It was miraculous that their heart was still going, but there was no way to lead them out of their misery. They’d just lay there till they’d die. “I remember one in particular; he was smashed so badly, and

his name was Smith or Brown or something, and I thought, he’s going to die. He just lay there. You’d keep their mouths moist; there was nothing else you could do.” When the war in Europe finally ended, Jessie was among the many who found it hard to believe that the world’s long nightmare was finally over: “We had either gone to a show or a party or something. “We came out of that building and they were snake-dancing through the town. The lights were on. “I thought, they’ve got to be crazy! What has happened? Of course, I couldn’t believe that peace had come. It seemed like it would never come.” Decades later, Jessie is philosophical about the folly of human conflict, preferring conversation over combat: “There’s no way war is a way to settle things, it seems to me. Talk. I think my time in the army was maybe my least stressful, you know. “They tell you what to do, where to go, when to go, when to come back and what to eat, when to eat it and what to wear. “As long as you don’t mind taking orders it’s a good life, but there is the angle of a lot of other people losing their lives and their abilities, so that they can’t do what they’d like to do or should be able to do. So war is not really a way of settling things.” Examining a photo of a military cemetery she shakes her head and says, “If only the dead could all rise up and shout, ‘No more war!’” Warren Sommer is a consultant and author based in Fort Langley. He has a particular interest in Langley during the two world wars.

going up the boot of Italy very, very quickly. They would find a building that would do for us and then they’d find a better one a few miles up.” Jessie’s work would later take her north to Jesi, an ancient town near the Adriatic port of Ancona. There, the effects of war were impossible to overlook. The war was waging just a few dozen miles to the north and the legacy of its destructive powers was often overwhelming: “Ancona was horrible – hardly a brick left on a brick. Sometimes it did get to you.” When the campaign in Italy wound down, Jessie and her colleagues were sent to northwest Europe. The Allied invasion of France in June 1944 had proved a success, and Canadian troops were now fighting their way through the Netherlands. Assigned to a hospital in Nijmegen, Jessie was as close to the action as she had ever been: “The first few nights we heard the sound of battle all the time when we were there. They had this attack of gliders. “We saw them in the fields where they landed. They were just targets. There were parachutes caught in the trees. The men were just helpless. [The Germans would] just shoot them.” As the battle raged the parade of arriving wounded seemed never to end: “They came all night long. The stairways were maybe eight to ten feet wide. “They’d come up those stairs very easily: clump, clump, clump. You can imagine them coming up all night long: clump, clump, clump, up those stairs and to the beds.” German prisoners were treated along with the Canadians:

Question langeytimes.com

One of the themes often heard at this time of year is gratitude towards veterans of past conflicts. Many people say, quite sincerely, that soldiers fought and many died to preserve our freedoms and our way of life. And it’s true — they did. Anyone who doubts that should take a close look at the plans that Adolf Hitler had, if Germany had won the Second World War. Yet as the Second World War grows distant, it seems more of the bureaucrats we have allowed to oversee our lives forget about basic concepts such as fairness and making sensible decisions. Instead, they rely on ever-complicated rules, often created by other bureaucracies without any consultation, as an good excuse to do nothing. An excellent example of this is an incident involving Langley Township fire department, which has in the past 10 years grown to consume much more of the local municipal budget. Scores of firefighters have been hired to replace volunteers, because of the growth of the community. A woman in Willoughby called 911 more than a year ago, because she had dropped a thermometer containing a very small amount of mercury. The fire department responded — and did nothing. Fire chief Stephen Gamble says Worksafe BC rules won’t allow firefighters to clean up a tiny bit of mercury. Instead, they call a private firm in such situations — which billed the woman close to $2,000. After negotiation with the fire department, the bill was reduced to $850. That’s ridiculous. The questions raised by this non-response are this — why would anyone call 911 in a non-life threatening situation, if this is the end result? Why did the fire department not advise the woman to do what the ministry of environment suggests — clean it up herself and place the mercury in a sealed container?

A blow to the future they

The decision by Abbotsford city council to reject a proposed Fraser Valley express bus is a blow to regional transportation planning and must be reviewed. The proposal, put forth by BC Transit, and already supported by the Fraser Valley Regional District and the City of Chilliwack, would create a transit link between Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley. It would provide reliable and economical connectivity in a region that currently has none. It would provide transit users access, not only to other major centres in the eastern Fraser Valley, but also access to the TransLink system — including SkyTrain. That there is an appetite for the service should be obvious. The shuttle bus recently organized by students at the University of the Fraser Valley is already logging 1,400 passenger trips between the two campuses every week. The service also enjoys the support of the FVRD, including Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman. At the district’s board meeting last month, Banman said he was excited about the proposed service. “It’s that missing link that the public has been asking for for a long, long time,” he said. Chilliwack council agreed, and unanimously supported the proposal. So it is puzzling that Abbotsford city council could not gather the requisite support. True, the bus is not free; it will cost almost $1.7 million annually, with Abbotsford paying roughly $559,000. And with an election year looming, it is perhaps understandable that some on Abbotsford council are reluctant to incur additional costs (especially when that city continues subsidize its hockey team by $1.5 million each year). Nonetheless, this is not just about spending money; it’s about investing in regional infrastructure. It’s about facilitating economic growth and providing economic opportunities — all the while taking vehicles off the road. And it’s about creating a pattern of transit use that could eventually provide the justification for an expanded express service, or even light rail. Mayor Banman has said he’ll be bringing the issue back to Abbotsford council. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she remains optimistic. Let’s hope that confidence is justified. Continued transit improvements in the region cannot be derailed by short-sighted parochialism. — Chilliwack Progress

Some worthwhile networking Editor: On behalf of the Langley Homelessness Steering Committee, I would like to extend our appreciation to all who were involved in the recent Homelessness Connect Event held on Oct. 17 at St. Joseph’s church. This was the second year that this event was held as part of Homelessness Action Week throughout British Columbia and the Yukon. The event was designed to bring services and service providers together in one space for efficient and effective access for those who need them. During the event, approximately 80 people attended and received information and services from more than 20 service providers, multiple faith-based community groups and volunteers. Individuals attending received a kit of basic hygiene items, more than 30 people accessed clothing, 25 people received haircuts from Linda and 26 people received flu shots from public health nurses. Kwantlen Polytechnic University nursing students volunteered and helped individuals complete My Health My Community online surveys, Crystal Vision and Hearing provided free hearing testing and almost all had something to eat and drink, met service providers and collected information on topics such as mental health, substance use services, housing, financial services (provincial, federal or budgeting/planning), medications or social connections amongst others. This event also provided service providers and volunteers a chance to network and to form stronger connections that will help us work together as a community. We look forward to building on the successes of this event in future Connect Events and look forward to the continued support of our community partners, without whom none of this would be possible.

Keep the zoning as it is Editor: Re: The rezoning application by Green Grove Homes Ltd., for 20466 93A Ave. The Township of Langley is a self-contained “community of communities” evolved through thoughtful renewal and sustainable development practices, in order to provide the best possible quality of life for residents in the rural and urban areas, according to the vision in the Township’s Official Community Plan. I understand that development will happen, but it needs to happen with the best interests of affected residents having preference over developers. Our homes and neighbourhoods are the bedrock of strong, stable flourishing communities. This small enclave within Walnut Grove has established itself as a friendly, safe and peaceful place to raise a family. This precedent-setting zoning change will certainly threaten that. As there are

other large lots in the area, the impact of rezoning would not be minimal. The Yorkson Creek Watershed Society warns of the long-term damage done to the watershed if the recommendations regarding development in the area are ignored. This area was originally zoned for quarter-acre lots, and has been so since we moved into this neighborhood 25 years ago. Many of us have written letters, contacted council members and spoke at the public hearing. We voiced our desire to respect the history and integrity of this area and keep the zoning at the current level. It is the hope of this community that the mayor and council will place the best interests of their constituents, as codified by the vision set out in OCP, with conviction and with corresponding action. DERWYN SUKKAU, LANGLEY

How many men? Editor: How many BC Hydro men does it take to replace a light bulb? I really don’t know, as I’ve waited for over six months to find out. This is a very dark and dangerous few blocks on 48 Avenu in Murrayville. There is plenty of traffic and pedestrians. Six months ago, I phoned the Township to report the street light was out, and was asked if it was a wooden pole or a metal one. It’s wood. The Township employee said that means its a BC Hydro pole, and she said that she would be informing them of the light being out. She also said it might take awhile before they got to it. Two to three months go by. I then phoned BC Hydro myself and informed them of the situation. Nothing. Then my neighbour asked about it because it’s so dark out front at night. He phoned the Township and that was four months ago. Still, nothing has happened. Does anyone care, or does someone have to threaten a lawsuit? Now, it is getting dark earlier and things are getting a little dangerous out there. There is one light on a side street off 48 Avenue, but it is not throwing light out onto 48th. There has been no follow-up by the Township, and surely a few Township employees go down the road at night and see how dark it is. How far does the ball roll after it has been dropped?If anyone from BC Hydro reads the local papers, maybe they’ll notice this letter. The number of that pole with a light out for months all through the summer and a transformer is #2177432. It is just up the street from 214A Street. We need that light on to make things a little bit safer over here on 48 Avenue. DON CUMMINGS, LANGLEY

We must still fight for justice Editor: Nov. 11, 2013 marks 68 years since the 1945 armistice. Every year, there are more of the same platitudes, which are promptly forgotten the next day. Remembrance is important, and it is not my intent to challenge it. I have honoured Remembrance Day since I was a child in primary school. As veterans, we thought we had defeated the Nazi form of fascism. How do I see our world this year? Our government is now following the authoritative instruction or requirement of a corporate financial oligarchic dictate. My dictionary of philosophy says that fascism is the open rule of big business and finance. Seems like it to me. We need to ask the question — are our elected representatives really working in our interests or those of the corporations? Prime Minister Stephen Harper claims the

government has a mandate. Nothing could be further from the truth. The about 30 per cent of voters who voted Conservative gave them a majority, not a mandate. It’s a time of “make war to have peace.” It’s a time where the dictatorship of big business is replacing democracy. Unions are under attack by the state. Taxation is diminished for the super rich and increased for people with medium to low incomes. Health care and medicare are being eroded by for-profit incursions, while governments turn a blind eye. You know all the rest — homelessness, poverty, cutbacks and more. This Remembrance Day, let us remember the dead of past wars, but dedicate ourselves to peace and justice for all. No to war.

Two injured in Langley City crash Two people were injured and an air ambulance was called as the result of a two-car collision on Sunday, Oct. 27 in Langley City. The crash occurred just before 9:30 a.m. at the intersection of 201A Street and and 56 Avenue. A 25-year-old Langley man, who was driving a Ford F150 pickup, apparently did not stop at a red light and struck a Ford Explorer, driven by a 64-year-old Langley man. His wife, 62, was a passenger in the vehicle. A witness told Langley RCMP that the driver of the truck went through a red light.

Langley

The woman was initially trapped in the Explorer after the collision. She was freed from the vehicle by the Langley City fire department. While she did not suffer life-threatening injuries, she was suffering neck pain. She was transported by air ambulance to hospital. The driver of the Explorer had minor injuries and was taken to hospital as well. There is a possibility that the truck driver may have suffered from a medical issue. He was given a ticket for failing to stop at a red light in an intersection.

Self-storage facility gets green light from City KRI S TY L C L A R K Ti m e s c o n t r ib u t o r

A development permit application for a state-of-the-art, four-storey storage facility at 20986 56 Ave. was passed unanimously by Langley City council on Monday, Oct. 21. AAA Self Storage Depot Inc. will span 50,077 square feet, on the northwest corner of the site that’s currently being used for parking and long-term vehicle storage. While the Nicokmekl River is located just 15 metres east of the property, Krahn Engineering Ltd.’s design manager Darren Cruickshanks assured council that the structure won’t affect any of the surrounding creeks or rivers, including a tributary originating from a culvert passing under 56 Avenue. “Our proposed development is well away from that body,” he said, also noting a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) has completed an assessment of the proposed

development to comply with the Riparian Area Regulation and determine setbacks from the adjacent watercourse. Typically, setback requirements between 15 and 30 feet would be enforced for a development in close proximity to the watermark. But with the lot being paved and contained within the asphalt area, the development has been grandfathered to allow development, explained Cruickshanks. “Any construction is 15 metres away from the watermark of the creek, meeting or exceeding the grandfathered area regulations.” Cruickshanks also pointed out that the building won’t disturb any of the native greens — natural vegetation will be allowed to sprawl right up to the back of the building. “Our proposed development doesn’t plan to take down any vegetation in the area. It’s all on City land so we can’t touch it,” he said.

“There’s only one tree that’s in question but that’s a tree health concern.” And with the proposed structure being four storeys high and in close proximity to the Langley Airport, Cruickshanks addressed the concern of possible disruption to flight patterns. “Despite some old and outdated covenants that were placed on the property to prohibit construction over a certain height, we have since met with the airport authority and have had that covenant rewritten to permit the construction of this building for a couple of reasons,” he explained. Several local residents who live within close proximity to the proposed development shared their concerns with council. These ranged from noise pollution and increased air traffic to parking. Laverne Pringle, a resident of the Riverside townhouse complex in Langley City, worries the air traffic, which is right above

her building, will increase if the proposed building is approved. “It’s a safety issue, a health issue and it’s noise pollution, so I hate for this to increase flight traffic,” she said. Debra Southam, a resident of the River Walk condominium at 20976 56 Ave., told council she is worried about the noise the development will create in the community. “There will be some construction noise, but there’s not a lot we can do about it,” said Cruickshanks, who points out that once the construction is complete, noise will be minimal. Depending on weather conditions, construction is expected to take between eight and 10 months. “This facility is very sound... you won’t be hearing anything coming out of the building — it’s not a storage unit with a loading dock. It’s residents renting a locker room who come to unload their stuff and go.”

‘Top-10’ car thief behind bars SIX-MONTH JAIL TERM FOR PROLIFIC OFFENDER MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

One of B.C.’s top 10 car thieves was sentenced to jail last week after pleading guilty to several charges related to a Langley crime. Richard James Mantler, 43, of Surrey, was sentenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty to dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and obstruction. The charges relate to an incident that took place in Langley City on July 25. On July 22, a Surrey resident reported her red Mazda had been stolen. On July 25, officers from Langley’s Street Enforcement unit working in the downtown core observed a red Mazda (with damage to the driver’s door) enter a parking lot, make a U-turn and exit the parking lot, said Cpl.

Harrassed by police for taking a walk, Langley woman claims MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

A Langley woman has filed a complaint with the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP after she says she was aggressively harassed by an officer while she was out for a walk. The 46-year-old registered nurse, who doesn’t want her name to be used, said she went out for a walk in Langley City on Sept. 25. She said she was leaning against a railway signal shed beside the tracks at Fraser Highway and Production Way, waiting for a train to pass ,when an officer came up to her and shone a flashlight into her face. “The police officer then demanded see my ID, which I do not carry going for a walk around the block, then demanded to know my name. The officer was intimidating and threatening in his behaviour ... I did not feel safe. When I said I had no reason to give him this information, he grabbed my arm and said I was coming to his vehicle with him, which I told him I had no intention of doing,” the woman said in her letter to the Complaints Commission. Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke confirms that he has received the complaint and upon looking into it, found that the officer accused is a member of

said. She said she is just a normal person out for a walk. “I am a professional, a nurse who works hard to make the world a better place to live and I am appalled that I was treated this way,” she said. Cooke said there are situations where a person has to lawfully provide his or her name to police. The case may also look at whether she was legally allowed on rail property, Cooke said. But he stressed those are just speculations because he isn’t investigating this. Cooke said it usually takes months for a complainant to find out results. According to the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, there are certain situations where a person must, by law, provide their name to police. If you are driving and are pulled over, you must provide ID; if you are under arrest or if you are being ticketed for something. “A police officer has to be investigating you and they can detain you for the sole purpose of obtaining your identity,” said Josh Paterson, BCCLA executive director. “However, if an officer walks up to someone minding their own business, they can ask for your name but you are under no obligation to give it to police.”

In the November 5, 2013 edition of The Langley Times, The November General Dinner Meeting of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce was advertised as being on Tuesday, November 12, 2013. It should have been on Tuesday,

the Integrated Police Dog Services. “District RCMP will conduct the investigation,” said Cooke. But his members did provide backup after the initial contact with this officer, he said. The complainant said the officer mentioned she may be on a missing persons list and when she continued to withhold her name, she alleges he said he would arrest her on grounds of obstruction. “He said he would cuff me and put me in jail if I didn’t oblige. I asked him his name, which he refused to give me, telling me ‘I am a constable.’” She alleges he held her elbow in a “vice-like grip,” and when she asked him to stop he refused. Eventually, after more questions, he called for backup and two Langley RCMP officers arrived. The nurse did give the female officer her personal information and the officer appeared to be concerned she was going to do harm to herself. “Even the idea of this is outrageous,” said the woman. The registered nurse said there was nothing about her attire or behaviour that should have caused the officer to come over to her in the first place. There aren’t any substance or alcohol issues at play here, she

OVER

30 YEARS EXPERIENCE

Langley Township council has backed a ban on using farmland to grow medicinal marijuana, voting unanimously to restrict the legal grow-ops to industrial areas. Whether the ban can be enforced is not clear, however, because the provincial government has the final say over the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) which covers 75 per cent of the Township’s 316 square kilometres. If the provincial government decides to allow marijuana cultivation in the ALR “there’s not much we can do,” warned Township administrator Mark Bakken, whose staff has the task of writing an industrial location-only bylaw to cover pot growing. Under new federal laws taking effect in 2014, large-scale medicinal growing facilities will replace the many smaller licensed pot operations across Canada. “I don’t want to see this on agricultural land,” said Councillor David Davis, himself a farmer. Councillor Charlie Fox wanted to make sure the current small growers will shut down after the switch to the larger facilities. “We need to get them out of the existing areas,” Fox said. Councillor Bob Long warned restricting growing to industrial areas could cost the Township tax revenue if growers apply for agricultural exemptions. In March, council was advised that the provincial authority in charge of the ALR has declared

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Township councillor David Davis told the Monday, Oct 28 meeting that he doesn’t want to see medicinal marijuana grow operations located on farmland. that medical marijuana growing on agricultural land is protected under farming regulations that override the the Township of Langley’s authority. The Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) was responding to a question from the Vancouver law firm of Bull, Housser and Tupper, which was hired by the Township to review proposed new federal restrictions on medical pot growing. A letter from the law firm said the commission “advised us that, in its view, the production of medical marijuana is an agricultural use permitted in the … ALR.” It went on to say that “the production of medical marijuana likely constitutes a “farm operation” because it involves the growing and production of plants. The legal opinion added the Township’s ability to regulate medical marijuana growing in the remaining 25 per cent of the community is also limited because federal law takes precedence over municipal regulations.

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

A Langley home owner not only chased away a robber from his apartment, he then sketched a drawing of the suspect for police. On Oct. 27, around 8 a.m., a resident returned from the store to find a man leaving his apartment with three of his laptops stuffed into a backpack. Langley RCMP were called to the apartment complex, located in the 5700 block of Glover Road, shortly after the resident chased the suspect away. The thief dropped the backpack and fled. Police are now looking to identify this brazen thief, said Cpl. Holly Marks. The suspect is described as Caucasian, six feet tall, muscular and lean, with short blonde/brown hair, a

R O B B E RY SUSPECT tattoo on his upper arms (possibly a skull or a tribal design), a ruddy complexion, scabs below his mouth and wearing a white T-shirt. The complainant was able to prepare a sketch from his memory of the suspect and give it to police. If you have any information or can identify the man in this sketch call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Giving blood in memory of Ron MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

For the third year in a row, the Langley City fire hall will hold a blood drive in memory of fallen firefighter Ron Dunkley. It will be held on Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In November 2010, Ron had gone to Seattle with a handful of colleagues from the fire hall for a Seahawks game. Walking alone to his hotel after the game, Dunkley was struck by a train and dragged several metres. He suffered two broken legs and massive internal injuries. The following weeks would take him and his family through peaks and valleys of hope and despair, until finally, on Jan. 4, 2011, he died from a blood infection. Dunkley received numerous blood transfusions that helped keep him alive for as long as he did, said his mom, Sandy, at last year’s blood drive. She rolled up her sleeve and gave blood for the first time and promises to continue to be a donor. The fire hall is at 5785 203 St. People can book appointments now for this blood donor clinic. To book an appointment or find out more, call 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283).

Brick Games bring out the kid in everyone

COMPETITORS PLAYED WITH BLOCKS, SUPPORTED CHARITY ALYS S A O ’ DE L L Ti me s Re po r t e r

While technology companies gear up to launch their newest electronic gadgets for the holiday season, more than 300 competitors and their fans took to the Langey Events Centre on Oct. 26 to show that creativity and a few colourful bricks are still enough to capture imaginations. LEGO enthusiasts — from young children to the young at heart — battled it out for a share of $3,000 in prizes at the second bi-annual Brick Games, a charity event launched last spring in Burnaby under the name Vancouver LEGO Games. “A lot of people built it as a kid, and it’s amazing how many adult fans there are,” said event organizer Darian Kovacs, who estimates attendance has jumped to more than 1,600 since the April 2013 inaugural event. Competitors in the live build competition spent the day combing through bins of LEGO blocks to bring their creations to life, while major event supporters Toy Traders were on hand to tempt attendees with the latest in block building sets. The event also featured a relaxation spa station sponsored by Ultimate Mobile Spa and kids activities from Sportball Lower Mainland and Victoria and the Vancouver Tumble Bus. Serious LEGO building is no easy feat. James Abrahams was on hand at the event to showcase a fully-functional model LEGO railway and miniature city from the Vancouver Lego Club and the local Lego Users Group. He said building

Remembrance Day: Lest We Forget We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifices of those hundreds of thousands of Canadian lives will be meaningless. They died for us, for our homes, for our families, and our friends. They gave of themselves for a collection of traditions Canadians cherish, and a future we all believed in. They died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice and their valor rests with our collective national consciousness.

On Remembrance Day each year, Young is always very busy. After spending the morning remembering our fallen war heroes, he is usually at one of the local legions. Young then heads for Fraser Downs in Cloverdale for a big afternoon of standardbred horse racing featuring the Ă&#x20AC;nals of the BC Sire Stakes.

Young has been a regular in the parades that usually precede the 11 a.m. Langley City ceremonies, but in recent years he said the walk has been a little too long for him and he misses that opportunity to show support with his fellow veterans. But the day still gives him the chance to put on his uniform and display his service medals and awards.

November 11 is always a busy day for Bill Young... Young never forgets - and despite battling some current health issues, the 86-yearold stays very active in a unique way. He still enjoys both darts and race horses and is well-known for his competitive spirit. The former seaman from Manchester served in the merchants service during the Second World War, doing duty on lots of different ships. When he Ă&#x20AC;rst came to Canada from England in 1957 with his wife Marian and two young girls, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before the former meat cutter could be found at the Steveston 289 Legion throwing a few darts. And he is still at it today at the Cloverdale Legion, participating each Monday and Tuesday..

And as one who is never short on words, Young says he has â&#x20AC;&#x153;lots of stories to tellâ&#x20AC;?. A big part of Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life has also been harness racing. He enjoys the horses much too much to give up the sport. Racing is off to a good start this fall season at Fraser Downs. You will likely Ă&#x20AC;nd Young in the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circle on November 11 as he usually decorates the winning horse in one of the stake races while wearing his full uniform and medals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve paid my dues,â&#x20AC;? says Young, who was awarded the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silver Jubilee Medal some years ago when he was President of the Steveston Legion and did lots of community work. Now living in Langley City, he spends time at both the Langley and Cloverdale

Legions, but heads to Cloverdale for the darts, which he said are no longer available at the Langley facility. Young and his late wife Marian have been involved in harness racing for many years, both on and off the track. A tribute to Marian hangs on the wall in the Atrium at Fraser Downs. The section serves as the BC Harness Racing Hall of Fame. She was inducted in 2012. Bill is very pleased that the industry honoured his wife of 62 years when she passed away a couple of years ago following a battle with cancer. Marian, who worked tirelessly to support and promote harness racing, was instrumental in organizing the Hall of Fame and its displays, as well as organizing tours of the backstretch so the public could have an up-close look at the horses and equipment used in racing. She was also honoured by having a stake race for Àllies named for her. Bill presents the winning blanket every year. Bill has been involved in most aspects of the sport since the early Sixties at Patterson Park in Ladner. He began by training and driving horses part time while still working at Safeway, and looking after horses at the Richmond farm of the famed Holridge stables, for owner John Hollingsworth. He also was a patrol judge and then a racing judge at Patterson Park, which closed down in 1969. But Young was back at it when the new harness racing track

Thursday, November 7, 2013 21

opened at the Cloverdale fairgrounds in January 1976. He had two horses the Àrst season there - Dusty Counsel and Plucky Dauber. Over the years the Youngs have raced horses in California, Alberta and at Sandown on Vancouver Island, so the sport has been a big part of his life. He mentions two horses as his all-time favorites an outstanding mare called Wilmar Annie and a gelding known as “Woody”, whose real name is Woodmere Windrop, who actually went coast-to-coast, having been bred at the Woodmere Farm on Prince Edward Island, a real Canadian hot spot for harness racing.

In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. ~ by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae

Lest We Forget Remember with us.. A field of poppies has come to symbolize the soldiers who lost their lives while fighting in battle.

Give Pause on Remembrance Day Throughout history, millions of soldiers have marched into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiers' achievements and sacrifices and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle. In Canada, November 11 is known as Remembrance Day. Since the end of World War I, memorials to remember those of the armed forces who fought in battle and served in the line of duty have been dedicated on this day.

Armistice Day origins Remembrance Day was once known as Armistice Day because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare between the Germans and Allied troops. The armistice agreement was signed in a French train carriage at 11 a.m. Later, the carriage where the historic event took place was placed in a specially constructed building to serve as a monument to the defeat of Germany. Although it was moved by German forces and later destroyed during World War II, after that war ended a replacement carriage, correct in every detail, was rededicated on Armistice Day in 1950.

Remembrance Day evolution Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day after World War II to commemorate soldiers from both world wars. It is now used as a way to pay hommage to any fallen soldier. Each year a national ceremony takes place at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, a monument erected as a memorial to soldiers buried elsewhere. The Queen will lay the first wreath at the Cenotaph, while others will leave wreaths and small wooden crosses. In Canada, Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday in many provinces and territories. Official national ceremonies are held at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Events begin with the tolling of the Carillon in the Peace Tower, during which members of the Canadian Forces participate and congregate at Confederation Square. Similar ceremonies take place in provincial capitals across the country. Very often moments of silence

are offered for lost lives.

Thank a solider for giving us a country full of hopes and dreams.

What about the poppies? One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the poppy that is worn to honor lost soldiers. The bold, red color of the flower has become an enduring symbol of those who died so that others may be free. The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason. Some of the most concentrated and bloody fighting of World War I took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant in the ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface. John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was moved by the vision of poppies flowering in Flanders and wrote a poem titled "In Flanders Fields." After the poem was published, it received international acclaim, and the poppy became a popular symbol of those lost in battle. Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed. Women wear it on the right side because that is where a widow would wear her husband's medals. Remembrance Day is celebrated every year, providing people humbled by the sacrifices of soldiers an opportunity to remember those soldiers' efforts to secure freedom.

Willoughby Town Centre celebrated its grand opening on Sept. 21, but the neighbourhood has been extremely popular with Langley residents for much longer than that. Loblawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Your Independent Grocer, Noma Sushi, Town Centre Liquor, Sassy Nails and several other stores are already

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

operating, while other businesses will soon open up shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is very much a growing community,â&#x20AC;? says Hugh Carter, vice-president of community and commercial development for Qualico, one of the driving forces behind Willoughby Town Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are not only major tenants, but also a good collection of independents as well.â&#x20AC;? Eventually there will be a variety of shops and services available, including a building devoted mainly to medical and dental offices, as well as a pharmacy, yoga studio and a variety of boutiques. Willoughby Town Centre will also include a residential

component. The first phase is Kensington, a 65-unit apartment building. Other projects are planned for the future. Willoughby Town Centre joins South Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morgan Crossing and West Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park Royal as â&#x20AC;&#x153;lifestyle centresâ&#x20AC;? with residential and commercial space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe in these walkable communities,â&#x20AC;? Carter says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a broader appeal here that I think is unique in the marketplace.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole idea is to be pedestrian-friendly,â&#x20AC;? says Diane Zarola, sales and marketing manager for Qualico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want it to be a gathering place.â&#x20AC;? John Johnson, owner of Town Centre Liquor, is very happy with his decision to open up shop in Willoughby Town Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real country setting with a downtown flavour,â&#x20AC;? he says, adding that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy that the store can be in the neighbourhood from the beginning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This area is growing so quickly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really quite amazing.â&#x20AC;?

Marconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heywood on the Park showcases Classic Modern architecture in a beautiful location beside a 39.5-acre park in North Vancouver. Laminate ďŹ&#x201A;ooring, nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows are just a few of the amazing features.

Park-side living at Marconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heywood on the Park By Kerry Vital

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a home thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as beautiful as the 39.5-acre park itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s named after, you need look no further than Heywood on the Park, Marconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condominium project in North Vancouver that showcases great design and a fantastic location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re literally on the edge of the park,â&#x20AC;? says sales manager Wendy Pirie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The park is on two sides of the building, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never have buildings there. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retail and transit

on the other two sides; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really unique to have all of that.â&#x20AC;? Curb appeal is abundant at Heywood on the Park, with its Classic Modern architecture designed by NSDA Architects. Ranging from approximately 538 to 1,184 square feet, the one-, two- and three-bedroom homes are available in a variety of spacious floorplans. Among the luxurious features youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find at Heywood on the Park is laminate flooring throughout the main living areas and ninefoot ceilings (eight feet in the bathrooms). The oversized windows optimize natural light even on the darkest of days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are extremely bright suites,â&#x20AC;? Pirie says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like condos.â&#x20AC;? The kitchens are fit for any budding gourmet, with their stainless-steel appliances, solid quartz countertops and full-wrap series cabinetry in Frosty White Gloss,

complemented by accent cabinets in squareedge Brookside Whitewashed Oak or Brookside Veneer Teak. Select homes include full-height pantries with a built-in microwave and a USB charging station. The bathrooms are relaxing, with their own solid quartz countertops and a deep soaker tub. The tub and shower surround is accented by Calacatta stone, complementing the Arctic White tiles. A floating mirror with polished chrome accent lighting shows you in your best light, while the warm grey porcelain tile floor is elegant and contemporary. The best feature of the homes at Heywood on the Park is the amazing views of the North Shore mountains or city (in some plans). This is accentuated by the generous patios, decks and terraces in every home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These terraces are just huge,â&#x20AC;? Pirie says. Heywood on the Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location offers easy access to the rest of the Lower Mainland,

as well as schools, dining, recreation and shopping all within walking distance. On-site, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find an amenity lounge with a patio. Marcon has a well-established reputation for gorgeous homes and great customer service, something that Pirie says has been bringing people into the sales centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are there for you after the purchase,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve built on the North Shore before.

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 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!).

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. We should eat more alkaline food. We all know that swimming pools can only work if they are acidic/alkaline neutral. This is still more critical for our body. Basic information to have an alkaline body: USDA now recommended on their website.

Sip and Slurp time While throwing a party may seem an odd way to turn the tide on overfished or depleted seafood and fish stocks, a local seafood market takes an opposite approach. The best way is to lead by example and show customers and guests how delicious and accessible sustainable seafood is in the Lower Mainland, said Heather Jenkins, of 1 Fish 2 Fish Fresh Seafood Market. So the Langley business will host their fourth annual Sip and Slurp event celebrating Ocean Wise month on Nov. 14. The event will feature a standout collection of seafood hors d’oeuvres, organic wines, and new to this year, craft beer. It will also serve to educate people about Ocean Wise products, recipes, oyster shucking and cooking demonstrations.

To Jenkins, it is about sharing with the public that 1 Fish 2 Fish value where their products come from and how they arrive in the market. “Ultimately we want our guests to have a great time, but to leave more knowledgeable about how the seafood they purchase impacts our oceans and rivers.” Partnering with Jenkins for the event will be Kalala Organic Estate Winery and Four Winds Brewery. The menu will be prepared by chef Sean Bone. Tickets are $39 and include the food, wine and craft beer tastings. To reserve tickets, call 604-5325226 or email info@1fish2fish.ca. The event will be held at 1 Fish 2 Fish Seafood Market, which is located at 20534 Fraser Hwy. It runs from 6:30 p.m.to 9 p.m.

their shots also shifts to coincide with where their ball lands on the golf course. Two of the simulators also feature both a bunker mat and a rough mat if a golfer wants to work on shooting from those playing surfaces. Another unique feature is that players can adjust the weather conditions if they

want to attempt to play in rainy or windy conditions. A camera records the players’ swings for replay and analysis and their is also a sensor mat which track club and ball movement, sending data to the computer for real-time play simulation. There is also an opportunity to play head-to-head, with stroke play, match

play, skins games, longest drive, nearestto-the pin, a putting game and a driving range. The cost to play is $29 for 18 holes and golfers are required to bring their own clubs. There is also a golf membership option. And just like a traditional golf course clubhouse, there is a full kitchen and liquor licence.

Porsche breaks ground on new dealership GARY AH U J A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Thirteen days. That is the time it took for a building permit to be proposed, reviewed and approved by the City of Langley this past summer. “That is true Porschelike performance,” said Christian Chia, the president and chief executive officer of OpenRoad Auto Group. He was speaking at a ground-breaking ceremony on Oct. 25 for the new Porsche Centre Langley, the latest addition to the Langley Auto Collection. The luxury vehicle auto mall is located at the corner of Glover Road and Lang-

ley Bypass. The 42,000 square foot facility is expected to open in the fall of 2014. Langley City was an easy choice when it came time to chose a location. “We looked no further than Langley,” Chia said, explaining they liked the City’s vision and proactive approach when it comes to business. “The City of Langley has embraced Porsche and OpenRoad with open arms and our plan is to reciprocate that love.” “This acknowledges that Langley is the place to be,” said Ted Schaffer, the City’s acting mayor.

Schaffer said the City is thrilled to add another luxury vehicle dealership as this fits

in nicely with the City’s Downtown Master Plan. “There is not much to see yet, but a lot of work

The showroom will hold 18 cars and its design will allow visibility from both Langley Bypass and Glover Road. There will also be seven sales offices, three detail/wash bays and 14 bays in the service shop. The two-storey building will also have a kitchen and large event space on the second floor and rooftop parking for 55 cars. There will also be a lounge on the main floor. “It will be the home for performance and passion and the place lovers of sports cars can come to gather,” Chia said. The event was attended by members of Lang-

ley City council and staff, Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Peter Fassbender, representatives from OpenRoad AutoGroup and Porsche Canada. Also on hand was new Porsche Cars Canada chief executive officer Alexander Pollich, who took the job a short while ago and moved from Germany to Canada. Pollich told the crowd that Porsche sales in Canada are expected to surpass the 2012 mark in the coming weeks. There were also several Porsche vehicles on site, courtesy of the Western Canada chapter of the Porsche Club of America.

One of the major fundraisers that keeps volunteer safety personnel operating on local mountains occurs Nov. 16-17 in Abbotsford. The annual Canadian Ski Patrol's (CSP) Winter Extreme Ski Show and Swap sees about 10,000 pieces of ski and snowboard equipment valued at approximately $1 million on consignment at the Ag-Rec building, selling for significant savings over new, said Denis Dion, swap manager. "You can completely outfit yourself or your family members for under $100," he said. Everything from boots to boards will be on hand, and each piece is safety inspected. Any helmets for sale are brand new. "We have extreme selection and extreme pricing." Nearly 95 per cent of the equipment is still new – just last year's models.

Friday November,

7–9 pm - Public

"We don't know exactly how much we'll be getting until the vendors show up," he added. The swap has been running since the late 1970s, said Dion, who took on the event chair position in 1994. From its humble beginnings in a church basement, the swap grew and needed more space. They went from the basement to an auditorium, then Tradex and now the AgRec building. Between the Abbotsford event, and a similar one in Vancouver, these fundraisers generate enough money

– about $100,000 – to keep CSP volunteers on the slopes in locales such as Hemlock, Manning and Seymour, where they are often the first responders to anyone who has a mishap while skiing inbounds. Any off-the-trail emergencies are handled by search and rescue teams. CSP funds its own first aid

and avalanche training, and members pay to be a part of the organization. All proceeds from the swap support CSP. Public consignment dropoff happens Nov. 15 from 7 to 9 p.m., and the show is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 16, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 17. Cheques for public consignment gear sold will be mailed Nov. 18, and unsold items can be picked up Nov. 13 at Mad Dog's Source for Sport, 2556 Montrose Ave. The Ag-Rec building is located at 32470 Haida Dr. (Gate 2).

The Langley Cowboys are riding high heading into the playoffs after closing the regular season with a 36-6 victory over the Richmond Raiders. The peewee football teams squared off on Sunday at Richmond’s Minoru Park. The Cowboys used a balanced attack as five players — TJ Fujimua, Anthony Beltrame, Cayden Boreson and Jack Laurin — each scored one rushing touchdown. Laurin also threw a touchdown pass to Anthony Ghent. The bulk of the damage came along the ground as the Langley players combined for close to 200 yards, led by Fujimura’s 155 yards. For the defence, Tristan Hanlon had an interception and Dayton Boutilier came up with a tackle for a loss.

For the second time in three games, the Langley Rivermen used some overtime magic to bring home two points. And this time it came against a divisional foe in a first-place showdown for top spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division. The junior A Rivermen hosted the Prince George Spruce Kings on Nov. 2 at the Langley Events Centre with James Robinson notching the winner at 1:59 of the second overtime period. Langley outshot the Spruce Kings 6-1 in overtime and 35-20 overall. The win was the hockey club’s fourth straight and the ex-

Langley improved to 13-51-1 for 28 points while Prince George fell to 11-7-1-2. Matt Ustaski had opened the scoring for Langley in the first period and then tied the game at two with a power play goal late in the second.

Question of the week

Spoiled for car and truck choice owning a car. Once you have a vehicle in mind, get an insurance quote. Regular maintenance costs are easily figured but some cars can be very expensive if parts have to be brought in from around the world. Once you have a handle on the above, you can narrow your choice. It is important you like the looks of the second most expensive purchase of your life. However, make sure it serves its intended purpose by answering some questions. Typically, how many people do you need to transport and how far? Is there enough stowage space in the cabin and the trunk or luggage compartment? Do you need V8 power or will an economical four-cylinder suffice? Now go and kick some tires at a variety of dealerships and consider multiple brands because they all have much to offer.

The Canadian choice: compact cars and compact SUVs Zack Spencer

2014 Toyota Corolla Continuing with the compact car theme, the Toyota Corolla is the third best selling car in Canada but Toyota believes this new model can take the overall sales crown away from the Honda Civic. This new 2014 model is made, and partly designed, right here in Canada with our needs in mind. The Corolla now has a longer wheelbase for amazing interior space, especially in the back seat. The dash is wide and flat for ample room and covered in nice looking and feeling materials, plus there is an available centre screen to 2014 Mazda3 use for the radio and backup camera.

Yes, I know that’s the complaint of every writer but we truly do have a lot of choice today. And the quality of vehicles is so much higher than it ever was so there is much to celebrate. In the run-up to 2014, I will be testing a lot of what’s new and improved. Today, I’ll just offer you five models to consider adding to your shopping list.

2014 Corolla 225hp, in the Canadian Model, thanks to a new 2.0L turbo engine. The interior materials used inside are almost Audi quality. No price yet but building these new cars inside the NAFTA zone will save money and that will be reflected in the price. 2014 Jeep Cherokee The Cherokee is back and it looks nothing like the boxy truck of old. In fact, this new, small SUV is based on the same Alfa Romeo platform used in the Dodge Dart. It is smooth and quiet and a pleasure to drive. The Cherokee is also the first vehicle in the world to be equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is a 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp or the optional 3.2L V6 with 271hp, for just $1,300 more, offering good value. Not to worry Jeep fans, this new Cherokee is available with three AWD systems.

2014 Nissan Rogue You might notice a trend with my 2014 model choices are all compact cars or compact SUVs. This is the direction Canadians are heading when it comes to buying a new vehicle. With this in mind Nissan has an all-new Rogue compact SUV with enough room inside for three rows of seats and room for 7-passengers. This is practical for people who require extra capacity but don’t want to buy a bigger or more expensive mid-sized or larger SUV. Under the hood is a 2.5L 4-cylinder used in other Nissan products and is matched to a new continually variable transmission featuring more available ratios and reduced friction. The interior is very well executed, with a dash that looks similar to the bigger Pathfinder. Goes on sale just before Christmas. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Five fun and sporty cars at the right price Alexandra Straub

A vehicle doesn’t have to be exorbitantly expensive, have mega horsepower or a fancy Italian badge on it to be fun to drive. In fact, a lot of people seem to agree with that statement too since there are a few pocket rockets available on the market that might not compete for the top power specs, but can certainly get the party started. Ford Fiesta ST- $24,499 If its exterior colour, say the one clad in Green Envy, doesn’t catch your eye, perhaps its exhaust note will. When you rev 1.6L, 4-cylinder, turbocharged, EcoBoost engine of the Fiesta ST, you’ll probably turn your head. Yes, it’s a subcompact but it doesn’t feel like it when you’re working through the gears of the 6-speed manual transmission. Ford’s newest mini powerhouse comes with a whopping 197 horsepower and 202 lb-ft of torque. It’s the same engine paired with the Focus ST, but in a smaller packaged. Its sport infused suspension, gearbox, phenomenal handling and host of creature comforts sound good to you, it’s even better to drive.

butter; you always know you’re getting and it’s very predictable. But with a complete overhaul for 2014, you could say the Japanese manufacturer has added some jam on top to make it sweeter. New styling on the inside and out makes it more desirable to the eyes. It’s still not as exciting as most of its competitors but the 1.8L, 4-cyinder does a bang up job of delivering 132 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. The cabin is quiet and I’ll hand it Toyota for matching it with a CVT transmission that is just fabulous. Kia Soul- starts at $16,995 Kia’s box-mobile continues to deliver strong sales despite angularly-shaped vehicles becoming a trend of the past. Why? Because it has personality. Describing it in one word, I’d say it’s funky. And now, the all-new soul is built on a bigger platform, increasing legroom up front and in the rear. It’s also quieter on the road when revving its 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine. There’s also a 2.0L 4-cylinder available with 164 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque.

WINTER SEASONAL SERVICE SPECIAL!

Trucks that tempt you to scream ‘yee-hi!’ Ian Harwood

BC is truck country and there is a multitude of products to pick from whether you are weekend oddjobber or need something to haul your tools to the job site. Oh, yes, and many folks just like trucks! – As somebody who has spent his life around trucks you won’t get any argument from me on that count. In the coming months, in my role as truck writer for Driveway, I will be testing most of what is available in your local dealerships and telling you about the pros and cons of each. I’ll also be telling you about the latest accessories and we’ll maybe do a little off-roading together. Today, I’ve just picked five trucks to give you some place to start your search for the truck that will suit you best in 2014. 2014 GMC/Chevy Silverado/Sierra The ½ ton pickup has gone through some monumental changes this year. What an improvement over last year with a very comfortable and refined interior on all trim levels, and three engine choices, the Eco Tec 4.3L V6, 5.3l v8, and the 6.2l V8. With so many changes and enhancements to this vehicle you will really have to wait for my full review on this vehicle in the coming weeks to get the complete picture. 2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost. With more than 100,000 Eco Boost engines produced monthly, you can bet a majority of these engines are finding their way into the 2014 F150 pickup. This truck holds the record in Canada for highest pickup sales, and at 12.9/9.0 L/100 km (city/highway) it keeps the money in your wallet a little longer.

2014 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel This is a much-anticipated truck from RAM and is one I am anxious to see. With a 3.0 L V6 Diesel engine with a torqueflite eight speed transmission.

2014 Toyota Tundra New body style this year, impressive hood and fender design. Toyota has also included a Western themed truck called 1794 Edition, which happens to be the founding year of a Texas ranch where the Tundra plant is now situated. This truck’s interior is covered with Saddle tan brown leather seats and rich maple wood grain panels throughout. The Tundra is powered by a 4.6 Litre or a 5.7 Litre engine. Can it compete with the big boys? – This is the year to see. 2014 RAM ProMaster After a long run with the Dodge full-size RAM van there was a void in the marketplace for a spacious cargo van, a void that was quickly gobbled up by Mercedes Sprinter, and the Nissan NV. Based on the Fiat Ducato, this van has some RAM branding of its own and is available in a wide range of wheelbase options and two roof heights. Engine choices will be the Penastar 3.6 Litre V6 or the turbocharged 3.0 litre EcoDiesel four cylinder engine. There is plenty of excitement around this vehicle. If you want to talk trucks or chat about what might make your truck ‘purty’, please drop me a line. I would also like to see pictures of what you have done to your truck in the way of customization. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

CAR CARE & REPAIR Type of Tire makes the difference Drivers rarely think of the tires on their vehicles until they have a flat. But the type of tires on your vehicle can impact its performance. When choosing tires for their vehicles, drivers should consider a host of factors, including the terrain and driving conditions vehicles are likely to encounter. Understanding tires and what makes some a better fit than others for certain vehicles can make for safe driving and improved handling. All-season tires The most common type of tire and arguably the best known is the standard all-season tire. Many vehicles come equipped with these tires, which are designed to be versatile enough to grip the road in various conditions. They are commonly made of a harder rubber that will not wear out quickly and will retain their tread. Most day-to-day driving can be done on all-season tires.

Because high-performance tires are made of a softer rubber compared to standard tires, they will not last as long as all-season tires.

situations. People who do not want to switch tires when cold weather arrives sometimes invest in snow chains that improve traction on standard tires. Mud Tires Muddy areas can be just as slippery as snowy conditions. Mud tires are designed similarly to snow tires but will have extra grooves and a tread pattern that facilitates movement of mud away from the tires and road. Mud tires may be wider than standard tires as well.

Say Hy to Five New Hybrids Bob McHugh

There’s a new breed of hybrids hitting the streets that are closer in performance and price to their gasoline counterparts. Not only has the hybrid driving experience improved, lighter and more compact new battery technology takes away less cargo space and fuel economy is even better, especially with plug-in technology. Hybrids not only save on gasoline, they also save on maintenance, especially brake system repairs, and they typically come with longer drivetrain warranties. These new hybrid examples are all entries for 2014 Canadian Car of the Year. The braking and acceleration stats are from the recent Testfest evaluation event.

The Original

Jetta Hybrid is not just the first Volkswagen hybrid; it’s the first hybrid with a turbocharged gas engine and a rapid-shift 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox (DSG), instead of the usual CVT automatic. A compact lithium-ion battery pack also takes up less trunk space and even allows a pass-through feature (with fold-down rear seats) for longer items. Preserving Jetta’s sport-sedan qualities, the hybrid’s electric motor boosts powertrain performance and optimizes fuel economy. A clever “power meter” on the instrument panel translates what’s happening under-hood into an easy to understand driving efficiency gauge. Price: $28,490 to $35,300 Fuel economy (combined city/highway): 4.4 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 9.0 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 47.1 meters

Honda Accord Hybrid is the first full-hybrid from Honda. Its unique two-motor powertrain operates in three distinct driving modes in which the Atkinson cycle engine is completely de-coupled (EV) used as an electrical generator (Hybrid) or drives the wheels (Engine). The result is incredibly good fuel economy, considering this is a fully equipped (including leather and nav), big sedan. The under-hood powertrain gymnastics are barely discernible inside the cabin. Price:$35,690 Fuel economy (combined city/highway): 3.8 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour):8.0 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 46.3 meters

The new Energi version of the Ford CMAX is a plug-in hybrid, which means it can be plugged into the electrical outlet to recharge its battery. Stored e-power pulled from the grid allows it to be driven further (about 34 km) in a pure electric-vehicle mode. Depending on everyday driving demands, CMAX Energi could actually function as an electric vehicle for many urban owners. A functional tall, wagon that can seat five, the rear seatbacks in the CMAX Energi also fold flat to expand the cargo space. Price:$36,999 Fuel economy (combined city/highway): 3.1 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 8.9 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 43.0 meters

The hybrid version of the new Infiniti Q50 offers 354 net horsepower making it a high-performance sport sedan. Impressive propulsion comes from the combined efforts of a 3.5-litre 24-valve DOHC aluminum-alloy V6 gas engine and a 50 kW electric motor that’s rated at 67 horsepower, plus an innovative one-motor/two-clutch motor control system. The Q50 Hybrid is available in both rear-wheel drive and what Infiniti calls Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. Precise handling is provided by its 4-wheel independent multi-link suspension and an innovative Direct Adaptive Steering with five handling modes. Price:$47,000 to $49,500 Fuel economy (combined city/highway): 7.0 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 5.8 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 42.8 meters

The Porsche Panamera S e-Hybrid is a four-door, four seat supercar with a lavishly luxurious interior. The “e” denotes that it’s a plug-in hybrid and it has more than double the electrical power (95 horsepower) of its hybrid predecessor, plus a new li-ion battery pack. Its electric-only driving range is 18 to 36 km and it has a top speed of 135 km/hour in e-drive. Stomp on the gas pedal and a 416-horsepower, 3.0-litre V6 gas engine bursts into action and the G-forces can pin you to the seatback. Top speed is now 270 km/hour, but mercifully the brakes (regenerative) are even more powerful at bringing the Panamera S e-Hybrid quickly to a halt. Price:$113,300 Fuel economy (combined city/highway): 6.4 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/hour): 5.4 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 37.7 meters

THE 2014s ARE HERE

2014 BMWi3

Premium brands don’t always demand premium prices Premium brands are in demand no matter what the state of the economy. This trend is good for all levels of the market as non-premium car makers try to offer a better bang for your buck when purchasing the workaday wheels. Loaded top-of-the-line flagship models frequently nip at the heels of their premium brand siblings. But does Merc have a deal for you! – The sporty 2014 Mercedes CLA, which stands for Coupe-Light A Class, starts at under $34,000. It sits on the less than sport B250 hatchback platform but this sloping roof coupe-style four-door sedan is all fun. Under the hood is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, matched to a 7G seven-speed dual clutch transmission generating 208 horsepower for the front-wheel drive machine. It is also fast as I discovered at the launch in the South of France — zero to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h. Estimated fuel consumption is around 6.2L/100kms. It also performed well on the very twisty mountain roads that roll away from the sun-blessed Mediterranean coast. Audi is a powerhouse across its model-range but you can expect to pay premium prices for these powerful and beautifully crafted machines that just eat up the miles, sorry kilometres, on roads worldwide. Travelling the motorways of the UK, you could be forgiven for thinking you are in Germany: every other cars seems to be either a BMW 3-Series/5-Series or Audi 3, 4 or 6! The 2014 Audi S4 Sedan would tempt me if I had 53-grand-plus to in my jeans. Load it up and you will soon hit 60 and more. A few days in an S4 recently on a deserted high-speed highway south of the border spoiled me. The supercharged 3-litre TFSI V6 pumps out 333 horses and, with the aid of six-speed manual dual-clutch transmission, pushes the all-wheel drive S4 to 100 km/h in just 5.1 seconds. It’s not just about performance: the leather

interior is beautifully crafted and comfy to boot, which is not always the case with some of today’s leather upholstered cars. Infiniti is an unabashed fan of Audi, in fact its brass frequently talk publicly about wanting to emulate the high standard set across its range by the German manufacturer. Now it’s looking to pass Lexus and tailgate the big three German premium brands. The Infiniti Q50 is the first evidence that this is not some idle threat. It has the fingerprints of four-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel on it though, I am told, not nearly as many dabs as the highly-anticipated Q30 due later next year. On looks alone, it demands attention. It sports the popular coupe-styling but the sloping rear doesn’t impinge dramatically on head room for back seat passengers. The base Q50 has a 3.7-litre V-6 engine putting 328 horsepower at the car’s disposal. The 6.7 litres/100 km highway fuel economy is an eyebrow raiser. Starting sticker price is $37,500, which demands those in the market for a premium brand should put the car on their tire-kicking list. My next choice might surprise, but the BMWi3 electric car knocked me out when I attended its launch the other week in Amsterdam (featured in the first Driveway). It has a range of 160 kilometres, sells for $45,000 and if you cough up another $4,000 for the gas-powered range extending generator the far horizon is the limit! One brief mention because a full test follows soon. The 2014 Acura MDX marks the strengthening of this Honda premium brand product in the mid-sized SUV segment. The three-row seven-seater has come under challenge in recent years. The longer all-new body with its lower stance distinguishes it considerably from the outgoing model. With a starting price just below $50,000, it features a solid 3.5-litre, 290 hp V6 that consumes just 7.7 litres of gas on the highway.
