Boy, 11, hurt in hit-and-run MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Rose Harry gives out information about her pieces of largely local Aboriginal arts and crafts at Saturday’s Milner Village Winter Market. The indoor market is being held at Milner Gardens each Saturday, until Dec. 14.

RCMP are trying to track down the driver who struck an 11-yearold boy in the 19600 block of 72 Avenue on Tuesday. Around 5:30 p.m., the boy was clipped by a vehicle that fled the scene. It’s believed the boy suffered cuts and bruises and possibly a broken leg. The Times has not been able to confirm that. He was hit with such force, there was broken glass and car part fragments left behind at the scene, said one witness. Several people stayed at the scene to help the boy and give information. The vehicle involved may be a brown sedan. That area of Clayton

Heights has seen an explosion of high density housing. In some areas there are no sidewalks or proper lighting. The road, 72 Avenue, is a busy thoroughfare. In April, a 19-year-old woman was struck in a hit and run crash in the 19700 block of 72 Avenue. The driver left her lying on the side of the road crying for help. Her boyfriend was walking home and heard her cries, saw that it was his girlfriend and called 911. She suffered serious injuries. The driver was never found. Police continue to investigate. If you have any information about the hitand-run and haven’t spoken to police call Langley RCMP at 604532-3200.

Three possible Langley pipeline routes FINAL DECISION WON’T BE MADE FOR SOME TIME, PROJECT DIRECTOR TELLS CHAMBER FR AN K B U CH O LT Z Tim e s Re po r t e r

The man in charge of the TransMountain Oil Pipeline twinning project has confirmed that a right-of-way through Redwoods Golf Course is being considered. Greg Toth, senior project director of the expansion project, was in Langley Tuesday night to speak to Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce about the economic benefits of the project. The initial oil pipeline built from Edmonton to Burnaby would be twinned and able to transport up to 890,000 barrels a day of crude and refined oil products. Fort Langley landowners have been

concerned that one leg of the new pipeline has been proposed through low-lying farmland adjacent to the Salmon River, just west of Fort Langley. The twinned pipeline will veer away from the original route to avoid going through the built-up area of Walnut Grove. Toth told The Times that the company has recently started to consider putting the new line through the Redwoods Golf Course, which is owned by the Township of Langley. The existing pipeline runs near Telegraph Trail, and the company wants to build the new line from its existing rightof-way to an alignment along the CN rail

line, before the current pipeline enters the urban area of Walnut Grove. Doug Hawley, general manager of Redwoods, confirmed that the pipeline company has had its surveyors approach the golf course, asking to look at the property for a potential route. The Redwoods route is not the only one under consideration. Toth said there are at least three possible alignments for the new pipeline in Langley. Toth said that the final route through Langley will not be determined for some time, and it will come after the company files its formal application to build the pipeline with the National Energy Board

The company is able to file “supplementals” after that date, and in several locations along the route, it has not made a final determination as to which would be the best spot for the new pipeline to be built. In answer to a question, he said the company does not have the right to expropriate land to build the pipeline, but “it wants to minimize the impact on landowners. “What we have to file is a route that is constructible,” he said.

Young men robbed, two suspects sought

CURTIS KR EKLAU Special to Th e Tim es

A fire Tuesday night at a townhouse complex in the 8200 block of 209A Street in the Yorkson area of Willoughby has led to the temporary displacement of three families. The fire originated on the exterior deck of one unit of the complex.

Langley RCMP are hoping someone can identify two suspects accused of showing a gun to steal a cellphone and some fireworks from two young men in Walnut Grove on Nov. 2. Around 5:30 p.m. that day, police were called to speak to two young men who had been walking along a path near 93 Avenue, between 204 and 200 Streets. They said they had been approached by two men, possibly SUSPECT 1 Hispanic, who accused them of shooting firecrackers at their house. One of the two men produced a firearm and demanded they turn over their cellphones. One cellphone and the firecrackers the boys had remaining in their possession were turned over to the

suspects who then took off running. The first suspect shown produced the firearm, said police. (The two composites side by side were created by each of the two robbery victims). He is described as between 18 to 23 years of age, shorter, between 5’4”-5’5” tall, short black hair, tanned skin, slender, crooked teeth and no facial hair. The second suspect is thought to be the same age but taller, up to six feet SUSPECT 2 tall, with short black hair, darker skin tone, no facial hair and an artwork tattoo on his bicep. If you are able to assist police with this investigation, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. Should you need to remain anonymous, contact CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Police are warning home owners that the people showing up at their doorsteps with ‘tales of woe’ are there to steal. Langley officers have gone to at least three homes over the last month, where residents reported items stolen after a stranger with a ‘tale of woe’ entered their home, said police spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. In general, a ‘stranger’ comes to the door with a problem. This problem could be any number of things like: “May I have hot water to warm my baby’s bottle; may I use your microwave; may I have some water for my radiator or asking to use your phone,” said Marks. “These individuals continue to come up with new and interesting ways to gain access to your home. Once inside, they steal from you,” warns Marks. This may be an item that has been left out, such as jewelry, a purse or

just a wallet. “The end result is you are now spending a good deal of your time cancelling credit cards, renewing driver’s licenses, ordering cheques, getting new B.C. medical cards or making a claim through your insurance company,” she said. While the story given may be very appealing, even heart wrenching, you should not allow strangers to enter your home, said police. If you feel it necessary to offer assistance, do so by getting them what they need while they wait safely outside your home. In the most recent instance, a woman approached a home in Langley City on Oct. 16. She is described as Caucasian, late 20s, 5’2” to 5’6”, average to heavier build, with curly brown hair and wearing sunglasses. A man with her is described as 25 to 30 years old, 6’2” tall with short black hair and brown eyes.

Three families displaced ‘Tales of woe’ warning after townhouse fire MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Three families have been temporarily displaced after a fire broke out at a Yorkson townhouse on Tuesday night. Around 8:30 p.m., Langley Township fire crews arrived to flames licking up the roofline of a townhome in the 8200 block of 209B Street. “The fire started on the exterior deck,” said assistant fire chief Pat Walker. “It quickly spread to the vinyl siding and progressed up to the soffits and into the attic.” The fire spread to the exteriors of the units on either side, said Walker. The vinyl around the windows near the flames melted, causing the windows to fall in and the flames to get inside the home, he said. “That’s when the sprinklers activated, thank goodness,” said Walker. Firefighters from three fire halls were called to

the scene, putting out the flames and cleaning up. No one was injured in the fire. A fire investigator was on scene early Wednesday morning, investigating the origin of the blaze. There was a barbecue on the balcony but it wasn’t used. The couple who live there had just returned from holidays. They are not smokers, said Walker. There is a plug and a light so that will be looked at. It isn’t known if the fire is suspicious, he said. The couple will not be able to return to their home for a while and didn’t have content insurance, said Walker. “I really want to urge people to get content insurance, he said.” The unit suffered a fair amount of water damage. The neighbouring units suffered exterior fire damage, he said.

Council will cover balance of clean-up costs HOMEOWNER BILLED $850 AFTER CALLING FIRE DEPARTMENT OVER MERCURY SPILL M ONIQUE TAMMINGA Times R ep or ter

D A N F E R G U S ON La ng ley Times

Langley Township fire chief Stephen Gamble says private companies handle hazmat spills.

Langley Township council has decided to cover the outstanding balance a home owner owes from an $850 clean-up. The fire department sent her the bill after a few drops of mercury spilled onto her kitchen floor last year. At Monday’s meeting, council directed staff to cover what is left of the bill. The homeowner was paying the fire department in monthly installments but stopped paying recently, said fire chief Stephen Gamble. There was about $500 still owing. The discussion to pay the home owner’s bill was made in a Nov. 4 special closed council meeting. On Nov. 5, Councillor Kim Richter took to social media calling the decision to bill the

Burn pits frustrate chief

D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

A frustrated fire chief has told Langley Township council he can’t stop the sale of burn pits in Langley, even though they are against the law. Stephen Gamble was responding to questions from council about proposed new fire regulations at the Monday meeting. The portable metal fireplaces used for outdoor open wood fires are illegal, but they are still on sale in many Langley stores, including several large chain outlets. When the fire department raises the issue with stores, Gamble says they are told the burn pits are being bought for use outside the Lower Mainland in areas where they are still legal. “The retailers just won’t pull them out of the store,” Gamble said.

“I guess they just sell too many.” Gamble would like to see the stores at least tell buyers the wood-fuelled burning pits are not allowed in Langley, where the fine for using one is $200. Gamble added a commonly-held belief that the pits are allowed for cooking is a myth, as far as Langley regulations are concerned. Gamble said that loophole did exist in another community where he used to work. “We’d show up and they’d wave sticks with [uncooked] wieners.” Only propane, natural gas and charcoal barbecues are allowed in Township backyards, he said. The Township has a zero-tolerance policy on fire pits, meaning an offender will be fined on their first offence. The updated fire bylaws will hike fines for a number of offences.

home owner “over the top.” “What happened here is just simply wrong — from start to finish,” said Richter. Recently, Gamble spoke with The Times and defended his department’s decision to send the $850 clean-up bill. On April 4, 2012, a mother of two, who is fairly new to the country, called 911 after she accidentally broke a thermometer. A few drops of mercury spilled out onto her kitchen floor. The woman had come to Canada from the Ukraine. Gamble said the fire department was dispatched to a “hazmat” call at a residential home in Willoughby. 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 it called is based in Richmond.

It billed the homeowner for travel time and other expenses, and the original bill was in the thousands of dollars. After negotiations between the fire department and the woman, it was dropped to $850. Gamble said the fire department doesn’t have the equipment or the training to handle hazardous material 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. The federal ministry of environment said only with “big spills” that a private company should be called in. There are simple instructions on Environment Canada’s website, directing people what they can do to clean up, when a few drops of mercury are spilled.

on meals and accommodation. There will be about 1,200 people working on the project at its peak in Greater Vancouver, with at least 200 of them hired locally. Many others will be working along the route in various communities, and some have specialized skills. TransMountain has already set up a website for companies offering contract services to register, and

A NEW BEGINNING

Toth encouraged local business to consider offering their services to the company. Kinder Morgan now pays $367,000 in municipal taxes to the Township of Langley, but that figure will rise to $942,000 when the twinned pipeline is complete. There will be an additional 90 permanent jobs created by the pipeline, putting the number of people working along it, and at the Burnaby marine terminal, to 440. The cost of the entire project, including construction of the pipeline, additional pumping stations, storage tanks and expanding the marine terminal, will be $5.4 billion. Total employment will be 108,000 person/years, with 66,000 of those in B.C. Toth said the main reason Kinder Morgan is building the pipeline is to help Canadian oil producers sell their product at world pric-

es. At present, much oil from Alberta, including the oilsands projects, is sold for up to $40 per barrel less because of the inability to get it to the coast for shipping. This is costing the Canadian economy about $50 million per day, with government losing out on $15 million per day in tax revenue due to the lower selling price. If the pipeline is built, the federal government will collect an additional $2.1 billion in taxes over 20 years. The B.C. government will collect an additional $1 billion and municipal tax revenue would climb by $530 million over 20 years, with 85 per cent of that tax paid to B.C. municipalities. Toth anticipates that construction would begin in early 2016 if the NEB approves the twinning project, and oil would begin flowing in 2018.

Question langeytimes.com

The first move in the provincial government’s core review, designed to reduce overall government costs, targets the Pacific Carbon Trust. But it doesn’t go nearly far enough. The government is planning to move the trust into the ministry of environment, and reduce its staff and administrative costs. It would be far better to eliminate it. Bill Bennett, the minister responsible for the review, says the move will save $5.6 million annually by 2015-16. The carbon trust’s staff will be reduced to five from 18. Unfortunately, the government is still spinning the halftruth that the Pacific Carbon Trust is actually reducing carbon emissions. All it really does is boost the cost of government projects and initiatives. New schools, for exaple, cost more because all government agencies are required to buy carbon offsets so that the province can claim that it is totally carbon neutral. The offsets it buys, at $25 per tonne, are purchased from the private sector — usually from large carbon emitters (such as Encana, a natural gas producer) to build projects that reduce the amount of carbon they emit. What is left unsaid is that most of these projects would likely be built anyway. The only concrete accomplishment of these forced offset purchases, all of which are paid for by taxpayers, is that they may speed up the timetable of some projects. NDP leader Adrian Dix, who fumbled on a number of occasions during the provincial election campaign, was strikingly clear on the Pacific Carbon Trust. He would eliminate it. He made this case, even as he was trying to appeal to more Green-minded voters on southern Vancouver Island, where the Green Party is strongest and where the party actually elected an MLA, Andrew Weaver in Oak Bay-Gordon Head. The current BC Liberal government continues to mouth platitudes about carbon reduction, even as it proposes a number of LNG plants that would certainly boost the amount of carbon emitted in B.C. However, if the plants are built and natural gas begins to replace coal as the source of electricity in countries like China, worldwide carbon emissions will decrease. That type of effort towards reducing carbon is far superior to the smoke and mirrors of the Pacific Carbon Trust.

Should Kinder Morgan build a new oil pipeline through farmland near the Salmon River?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Don’t forget children they

To hear Premier Christy Clark and her provincial BC Liberal government colleagues talk, the only issue that matters is getting natural gas out of the ground and selling it to Asian markets. Never mind the report released by Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, documenting more than a decade of misguided spending by the Ministry of Children and Family Development to the tune of about $66 million. Turpel-Lafond referred to some of the ministry’s initiatives as, “big, blue sky initiatives,” that cost a lot of money, but she could not find any evidence to suggest even a single penny from those initiatives was spent to help a single child. With more than a week passed since the report was released, the premier had not said a word. In defending her government’s push to advance the liquefied natural gas industry in B.C., Clark argued the industry could provide the province with a trillion dollars of revenue over the next several decades. The opposition NDP, environmental groups and climate scientists point out the current LNG proposals would push the province’s greenhouse gas emissions well off the legislated 2020 target. Undaunted, Clark said that, by selling liquefied natural gas to Asian markets, B.C. would, “(be) ... doing the world a favour.” How magnanimous of the premier to have the global environment at heart. Hopefully one day, she will have the same empathy for the impoverished children of British Columbia. — Penticton Western News

Township to blame for Coulter Berry mess OCP AND GUIDELINES COULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED

Editor: In November of last year, the Coulter Berry building was before Langley Township council. Many people supported this building, and many people did not. From looking at the minutes of the public hearing, which also contained a record of written submissions, it looks like the ratio was close to three to one who were not in support of this proposal. Those who did not support this building pointed to the Official Community Plan, and the Fort Langley Building Façade Guidelines, to help bolster their argument. At this meeting, several councillors stated that these were only “guidelines,” and they had the ability to vary them at will. According to a Supreme Court of B.C. judge, they were wrong. I’m not going to pretend that I know more about the legalities of this than a Supreme Court judge. Could he have been wrong? I guess we’ll find out in an appeal, and once more information is released. However, in the meantime, to insinuate that Fort Langley Resi-

dents for Sustainable Development “bullied” their way to the Supreme Court of B.C. and won with a “campaign of misinformation” is a bit of a stretch. Any “misinformation” that was present at the trial could and would have been easily rebutted by the Township of Langley’s capable legal team. I have no idea of what information the judge used to render his verdict, but I think it’s fair to say that his decision was not based on handouts and flyers that have been criticized for containing “misinformation.” That’s generally not how the Supreme Court of B.C. works. However, upon reviewing a copy of the Local Government Act; Part 27, Division 5, Section 972, the part that deals specifically with Heritage Conservation Areas, it seems very black and white to me. I encourage everyone to read it. I want to see a building constructed to cover the “Heritage Hole,” as soon as possible. However, pointing fingers at a group of people who discovered and launched a legal ar-

gument over blatant irregularities, and won, is not a solution. Pointing fingers at a developer who had his plans approved by council is not a solution either. It’s an unfortunate situation this developer is in, and the Township of Langley should be held financially responsible for approving this building which was outside the scope of their legal authority. If the Township had followed the Local Government Act as all municipal governments are required to, we wouldn’t be in this situation. If the councillors elected by the people of Langley felt that the Fort Langley OCP and Guidelines needed an update, they were well within their rights to propose this. This process entails detailed community input, public hearings, and Township of Langley-sponsored community open houses. Discussions around OCPs are detailed, inclusive, and based on the future of the community as a whole, not on the merits of one building. JESSE BROWN, LANGLEY

Some questions for council Editor: I would like to address this to the Township of Langley councillors: The subject of the Aldergrove Pool and Recreation Centre has become very quiet, and has fallen out of the media. Please provide Aldergrove residents with a formal update as to what progress is being made with our facility. The last we heard, which was months ago, was that Township staff was to report back to council on the pool’s size, depth, budget and other issues. Has staff reported back regarding their recommendations and, if not, what is the deadline for this? In previous news articles, it stated there was a gross miscalculation and the

costs of this facility would now be substantially higher. Will this mean the recreation centre and pool will be completed in stages? If so, will the pool be the first priority, given that Aldergrove already has a functioning ice arena, library and rec centre? With the Township 2014 budget on the table, what is being allocated for this facility? Please take time to answer these questions. We believe Aldergrove residents need to be updated and informed. We feel communication needs to be key as we move forward with this facility. ALDERGROVE POOL AND RECREATION SOCIETY

The Coulter Berry building, as proposed, would have this kind of street front profile.

Pipelines create opportunities Editor: Letter writer Gary Smith (The Times, Nov. 14) appears to make a salient argument against the Kinder Morgan project. For the most part, his assertions are at best sheer speculation and short on facts. The Alberta Heritage fund currently has $16 billion in funds and since inception has returned over $34 billion to the province, with the focus being on health care and education. The Kinder Morgan expansion, as I understand it, will use the existing right-of -way that includes the current line. His comment about the inevitability of an oil spill is not borne out by any facts. Again, it is speculation. The original pipelines in B.C. were installed with the barest of public discus-

sion or inputs. The current proposals are an opportunity for any community to investigate and participate, ensuring all fail safes are in place and working. The harsh reality of the proposed oil and gas projects for B.C. is this. These projects will allow a very large work force to generate enough income to hopefully purchase homes, raise and educate a family and in some part ensure a financially sustainable future. I have over 30 years experience working in the industry, suffered total financial ruin in the recession of the 1980s and worked myself back to financial security, working in Alberta and B.C.

FRASER HWY & NO. 10 HWY, LANGLEY

An impressive list of speakers and small-scale producers are on the agenda when the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation (LSAF) presents its first community-based workshop for those wishing to learn more about small-lot farming. According to the Langley Agricultural Viability Strategy recently adopted by Langley Township council, three-quarters of Langley’s land base is in the Agricultural Land Reserve and 73 per cent of those parcels are smaller than 10 acres. “With the growing consumer demand for locally produced food, we believe that there is great potential to increase production here in Langley,” said workshop co-ordinator Karen Taylor. Yet many owners of small-lot acreage aren’t sure where to start or how to expand their operations to make them more productive, says Taylor. “Our workshop will help give them some direction and lots of ideas,” she says. Among workshop speakers is Curtis Stone, owner of Green City Acres in Kelowna where he grows enough vegetables on less than an acre of land to sell at farmers markets, restaurants, retail outlets and to a 60-member CSA box program. He began farming in 2010 with no prior experience. Also speaking is Gary Rolston, a professional agrologist who has taught numerous small-farm development programs in the south coastal B.C. area over the past 20 years. Kwantlen Polytechnic University research associate Ermias Afeworki will talk about his work on a current KPU initiative which will prepare farm enterprise budgets for at least 30 crops and livestock products that are commonly grown in southwest B.C. Among small-scale producers who will talk about the challenges and successes of their own agricultural enterprises is Jim Rahe of Annie’s Orchard. A past president of the Fraser Valley Farm Direct Marketing Association and Professor Emeritus, Simon Fraser University, Rahe specializes in plant pathology, integrated pest management, vegetation management, and tree fruit production and pest management. Also on the panel is professional agrologist and specialty chicken and turkey producer Mark Robbins, and Bernice Neff of Glenwood Greenhouse brings her experience with value-added products to the producer panel. The Small Lot Farm Workshop – a pilot project sponsored by VanCity and Metro Vancouver – is being held at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday, Nov. 30 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The workshop is free but space is limited so registration is required. To register, call 604-897-2214 or email langleyagriculture@gmail.com.

This year, the Metro Vancouver regional authority distributed $100,000 in cultural grants to 23 arts organizations in the Lower Mainland, none of them in Langley. Councillor Charlie Fox would like to know why. Fox raised the issue during the Township council afternoon meeting on Monday, Nov. 4. “I see a number of communities represented, but I don’t see Langley,” Fox said. He was reacting to a Metro board report that shows money went to a variety of arts and cultural groups such as the Port Moody Arts Centre Society, which received $7,000, the Peninsula Productions Society, which received $2,500, and the Richmond Art Gallery Society, which received $5,000. The Metro money is handed out every year to Lower Mainland arts and culture organizations for regional projects to “support research, creation, production, dissemination, audience development, project staff and/or administrative capacity building” according to the Metro website. It appears Langley groups may have not been aware they could apply, according to Councillor Bob Long, who is one of four Township representatives on the Metro board (the others are Mayor Jack Froese and Councillors Grant Ward and Steve Ferguson). Long said he sent an email to two local arts groups about the grants, who didn’t seem to be aware they were eligible. “The boat did sail past us last year,” Long said. The deadline for applications was 4 p.m. Wednesday, July 24. In order to qualify for a grant of up to $10,000, the Metro website says an applicant must, among other things, “promote arts and culture as its primary purpose … provide public arts programs and services on an ongoing basis within Metro

Vancouver [and] be a non-profit society, registered under the BC Society Act for at least two years.” Projects are approved based on a variety of criteria, including “experience, qualifications and proven ability to carry out projects” as well as quality of programming, artistic goals and “relevance to arts and culture within the region.”

Two solitudes when it comes to B.C. farmland My late father used to say that if he ever won the lottery, he would “farm until it’s all gone.” It was 1960 when

he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for generations, and moved north to carve

a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country. So it’s a mainly northern perspective that I bring to the latest

debate over B.C.’s agricultural land reserve. A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate

Cost-effective crime fighting LANGLEY PAYS LESS TO PARTICIPATE IN IHIT, TOP MOUNTIE TELLS TOWNSHIP COUNCIL DA N F ERGUSO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

High-ranking RCMP officers have told Langley Township council the municipality is actually paying less to participate in the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) than it did five years ago. As well, the cost of Langley participating in the other regional policing teams in the Lower Mainland only rose a modest amount during the same period, they said. A delegation of senior Mounties came to the Monday (Nov. 18) meeting with a video presentation to back their claim. While the overall cost of operating IHIT has risen from $13 million to $16 million over the last five years, an increase of 25 per cent, the RCMP numbers show the share Langley pays has actually dropped from $637,585 to $609,893, a decrease of 4.34 per cent. Langley pays less to belong to the regional homicide team because it has had fewer homicides, the officers said. Add in all the other Lower Mainland police teams Langley pays into, such as the Emergency Response Team (ERT), the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS), Forensic Identification Services (FIS) and the police dog service, the total bill to local taxpayers increased from about $1.7 million to $1.8 million, up 9.19 per cent or an average of 1.77 per cent more per year. RCMP Supt. Norm Gaumont said a budget review is underway to trim expenses from the regional teams wherever possible. “We did go back and tell everybody we need to revisit the way we do business,” Gaumont said. He said steps have

out of the RCMP and launching their own municipal forces. A big issue is the added levies cities are being expected to pay to cover the newly opened $1-billion RCMP ‘E’ Division headquarters at Green Timbers in Surrey.

RCMP-policed cities have reportedly been told to budget $1,200 for each officer in their detachment and $20,000 for every local officer who serves on an integrated team.

C H I E F S U P T. BRIAN CANTERA already been taken to find savings, ranging from revised overtime policies to getting officers to sign up for B.C. provincial health coverage to avoid out-ofprovince charges that increased RCMP medical expenses by $12 million. There are currently 68 officers working in IHIT, up from 48 five years ago. The unit handles all murder investigations in the Metro Vancouver area except Vancouver, Delta and West Vancouver, which operate their own independent homicide teams. Eighteen of those officers are directly funded by the provincial government, said RCMP Chief Supt. Brian Cantera. As part of its cost-reduction strategy, IHIT will have individual municipalities pay the full cost of the first 72 hours of a murder investigation. Cantera called it a “user-pay” approach. The RCMP presentation to council comes after controversy recently erupted over the cost of the new 20year policing contract between the province and the federal police force, a deal that is expected to increase costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars for communities with larger detachments. Some Metro cities with RCMP detachments, like Richmond, are considering pulling

Police seeking Candlelight Vigil rightful owner of 9th International Day seized dirt bike for the Ishtar Transition Housing Society presents

Elimination of Violence Against Women

MAN ARRESTED FOR RIDI NG ON SIDEWALK IN EARLY NOVEMBER Langley RCMP is hoping to reunite a Honda XR 100 dirt bike with its rightful owner after police seized it from a man driving it on a sidewalk on Nov. 5. A Langley officer observed a dirt bike approach the traffic light on 204 Street at 64 Avenue. When the light turned green, the dirt bike rider drove through the intersection and onto the sidewalk. The officer activated his emergency lights and followed the bike for approximately half of a block. The rider stopped in the 6300 block of 204 Street. The officer spoke with the rider who couldn’t provide any ID and indicated the bike belonged to his nephew. A closer inspection of the bike showed the VINs had been destroyed. The rider was given a violation ticket for driving without insurance. The bike was seized to determine ownership and the number for the ‘nephew’ given by the rider was not correct. Police continue to work with ICBC Special Investigative Unit to locate the rightful owner. If you or someone you know recently had a Honda XR 100 dirt bike stolen and would like to see it returned, contact Langley RCMP at 604-5323200. The owner should be able to provide the correct year, description, colour, etc .

Food For Famine raises funds from businesses Food for Famine Society held its second annual corporate breakfast at the Sandman Signature Hotel in Langley, with Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender as special guests. The Langley-based society has promoted the use of Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) to help children suffering from famine, and has saved the lives of 8,000 children by the use of this special product, says founder and executive director Maria Martini. She told the crowd about her passion for children and the unique partnership she has crafted with World Vision Canada (WVC) and MANA.

GMO experts here on Friday WINDOW FASHIONS

Complete Selection of Custom-Made Blinds & Drapes

Langley residents will be able to hear firsthand from two knowledgeable experts on the subject of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food on Friday evening. The presentation is part of a cross-country tour that began last week in Courtenay. It is sponsored by The Society for a GE-Free BC and the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network. Dr. Thierry Vrain is the former head of biotechnology at Agri-

culture Canada’s Summerland Research Station, and was once a supporter of GMO. Dr. Shiv Chopra was a longtime drug evaluator with Health Canada, until he was fired in 2004, along with two colleagues after they spoke to the Senate standing committee on Agriculture and Forestry. They testified that they were pressured by senior supervisors to approve multiple drugs of questionable safety, including

Bovine Growth Hormone and Baytril. Chopra’s book, Corrupt to the Core: Memoirs of a Health Canada Whistleblower, is an international best seller. They will be speaking at the Fraser River Presentation Theatre (Township council chambers), at 20338 65 Ave., from 7 to 9 p.m. Interested persons are advised to arrive early, as a full house is expected.

bie-themed paintball apocalypse to life on private property in South Surrey last year. ZCZ is an outdoor paintball circuit built to replicate a zombie apocalypse. Up to 12 teammates battle their way to survival armed with only their paintball guns and their wits. “The mission this year is to find all three parts of a virus that, when uploaded to three different locations in the game, will shut down all of our cyber-zombies,” McCall said. The zombies are paid actors and are hired through staff connections. “Our zombies are the cream of the crop, this isn’t for everyone and it takes a special breed to be a zombie or a monster.” Each player is supplied with a Tippmann Tango One Paintball Gun, eye protection and their ammo, which is unlimited for 30 minutes of gameplay. An additional 15-minute orientation is required prior to the experience. “Our demographic is pretty much all ages and walks of life,” McCall said. “I was surprised, but it seems to interest all kinds of people.” There is also a zombie shooting gallery, a fenced-off section where one or two zombies are kept for people to practice on. Considering the East Beach location is in an active neighbourhood, McCall was pleasantly surprised that none of the local surrounding residents have complained about the late-night noise. “(It’s a) great bonus that we can run an event like this and not disturb anyone this late at night.” An avid fan of The Walking Dead graphic novels — though he thinks the television show has strayed too far from the originals — McCall takes his zombies seriously. “There’s something different about them compared to regular movie monsters. I mean they’re us, right? “Believe it or not, they do have an emotional range — although limited — and the fact that of all the possibilities for evil to manifest itself this would be most likely,” said McCall. ZCZ is located at 15782 Marine Dr., Semiahmoo Park. It is open Thursday through to Saturday, from 7 p.m. to midnight until the end of November. Although it is recommended that players be over the age of 13, younger children may play with adult supervision. For more information, visit www.zombiecombatzone.com.

Maddie Petersen will sell her homemade candles in support of Children’s Hospital outside the PriceSmart store on Fraser Highway this Friday, Nov. 22. about this.” Maddie’s parents, Suzann and Blaine, couldn’t be prouder of their daughter who has already raised $240. Making the fundraiser a true family affair, they have been helping her sell and drop off candles. Maddie will be in front of the PriceSmart

store on Fraser Highway in Langley City on Friday, Nov. 22, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. selling her candles. Anyone interested in donating supplies or purchasing a candle is asked to send an email to maddiesmasons@ live.com or check out Maddie’s Masons’ Facebook fan page.

Maddie Petersen was just eight years old when her first seizure struck. The Grade 4 student from Langley was having a sleepover with her grandmother — the two were sound asleep when the night suddenly took an unexpected and terrifying turn. “I could hear my mom screaming hysterically upstairs and calling my name,” said Petersen’s aunt, Leanne Kinsman, who lives on the main floor of the Brookswood home. After dashing upstairs, she recognized what was happening with her niece — she had seen it before. “Maddie was convulsing and crying, so I called 911. I grew up with friends who have epilepsy, so I could just tell she was having a seizure.” On route to Langley Memorial Hospital, Maddie suffered another attack in the ambulance — this time she became drowsy and lost feeling in the left side of her body. The numbness eventually went away, but Maddie was sent to BC Children’s Hospital for an MRI. Her test results showed that Maddie has a rare condition called AVM (arteriovenous malformation), which is an abnormal connection between the arteries and veins. Most aren’t aware they have the condition until they experiences symptoms such as a headache, or inMaddie’s case, a seizure. Fortunately for Maddie and her family, a brain AVM can often be treated successfully. However, that means having to take medication to help have less seizures, an MRI every two years and a trip to the BC Children’s Hospital every six months to meet with a neurologist. While the seizures still happen on occasion and could worsen when puberty strikes, Maddie — who is without a doubt one brave little girl — takes each one in stride. “I know when they are going to happen and I know I will be OK,” she said. “I just hope one day they will be gone forever.” In an effort to bring a little light to her condition — quite literally, and to raise funds for

the BC Children’s Hospital, Maddie, along with the help of her aunt, have launched a fundraiser called Maddie’s Masons. “I want to help other kids like me so they know they aren’t the only ones who have seizures — it really means a lot to me,” said Maddie. The candles, which are all-natural soya based and non-toxic, come in a variety of scents, including French lavender, gingersnap, cupcake and mango. Each one is handmade by Maddie with a little help from her aunt. So far, all the supplies have been donated. “She’s really dedicated to this,” said Kinsman. “She puts the wick in the jars and adds the scents and cuts out all the little labels.” In just one month, the philanthropic pair have sold 60 candles at $4 apiece. Every cent goes straight to B.C. Children’s Hospital. “The word is just spreading so quickly,” noted Kinsman. “Were really excited

Chamber and jazz nights at TWU NO SILENT NIGHT OR AWAY IN A MANGER, HERE — JUST SOMETHING TO SUIT EVERY MUSICAL TASTE Before the inevitable December rush sets in, Trinity Western University offers a refreshing series of musical Wednesdays — with nary a Christmas tune to be heard. Featuring intimate performances by the talented musicians of TWU’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC), the semi-annual Chamber Music Night and Jazz Night promise an entertaining diversion for all tastes — from Beatles to Baroque, from Sinatra to

spicy Latin rhythms. On Nov. 27, SAMC’s Chamber Music Night will feature three diverse instrumental ensembles: • Highlights by the guitar quartet include Amazing Grace and Michael Jackson’s dance hit Billie Jean, under the direction of Tim Olsen. • The piano trio (violin, cello, and piano, directed by Heilwig von Koenigsloew) will perform the seventh movement from Constantinople by Cana-

dian contemporary composer Christos Hatzis. • The eclectic JACHS ensemble, directed by Paolo Bortolussi, will take the audience on a moving musical journey beginning with Telemann’s Quartet No. 1 in D major and concluding with a haunting piece by Argentine tango composer Astor Piazzolla. On Dec. 4, SAMC’s Jazz Night features three outstanding jazz ensembles: • The Vocal Jazz Ensemble, directed by Jon Thompson, will perform several of Frank Sinatra’s biggest hits alongside other favourites by the likes of Duke Ellington. • The Jr. and Sr. Jazz Combos, directed by Tony Gallo, will

start from the late ’50s and ’60s and groove their way to the present, with selections incorporating Latin rhythms, fusion styles, and odd-metered tunes. The music of John Coltrane and his followers will figure prominently, interspersed with some surprise arrangements of contemporary tunes .

Play along with live theatre It’s theatre without a net. No actors. No play. No script. Theatre for Living continues a 32-year legacy of innovation with a project about the corporate voices that live within our collective psyche. The messages from corporations tell us hundreds of times a day, in ways we may not notice anymore, how to relate to each other and to ourselves; what to buy, how to feel, how to perceive and the kind of person to aspire to be. Can we use the theatre to become aware of these messages, and to change our relationships to them, to live healthier and more sustainable lives with each other, with ourselves, and with the planet? This project hopes to be more than just an investigation — we have a desire for Corporations in our Heads to move into transformative action. How? By making each event relevant, at a grassroots level, to each unique community in which it happens and for the local organizers to use that momentum to move forward on community issues. Each event is the community’s creation — a process in which the whole evening of theatre emerges from the audience. On-stage participation is optional. Although the topic is serious, the evening is intended to be a great deal of fun. Hosted by David Diamond, the Corporations in our Heads takes place on Friday, Nov. 29, 7 p.m. at the United Churches of Langley. For more information about the Corporations in our Heads tour call 604-871-0508 or www.theatreforliving.com.

Decorating and dazzling your home for the holidays By Kerry Vital

Holiday decorations are multiplying in the malls and Christmas carols are already playing on the radio. Festive parties are being planned, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start considering how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be decorating your home. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for inspiration, the West Coast Christmas

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Show at Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tradex will offer plenty of it. As one of Western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest holiday season shows, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be hard to find what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for and maybe learn some new tricks for making your home sparkle. One of the biggest trends in holiday decor this year is nontraditional colours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone knows of the classic Christmas colours: red, green, gold,â&#x20AC;? says Sarah McNeil, designer at Fluff Design & Decor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to show you some new ideas.â&#x20AC;? Fluff Design & Decor is one of the main stage presenters

at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. Their show will be called Hot For The Holidays, and will feature tips for decorating for the holidays, as well as New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to keep it simple,â&#x20AC;? says McNeil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has seen a house where ... it looks overdone. Less is more.â&#x20AC;? Senior Designer Mitchell Dyck agrees, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;simple and elegant is in for the holidays.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is so busy during the holiday season and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to get overwhelmed or go overboard,â&#x20AC;? says Leanne Droder of Clayfun Creations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For years I went crazy decorating for Christmas and it would stress me out if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it all done, and it turned into a chore each year instead of something enjoyable. Once I started concentrating on the things that meant the most to me or I truly loved, then decorating became something to look forward to again.â&#x20AC;? CONTINUED INSIDE

Marconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk is located in an incredibly walkable neighbourhood, with shopping, dining, schools and transit all within easy walking distance.

Adding up the perfect little details at Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk By Kerry Vital

Marcon is bringing its signature style to West Coquitlam with Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk, a condominium development that offers a lot more than just beautiful homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marcon is always aiming for perfection,â&#x20AC;? says sales manager Celia Chiu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can definitely see the difference in a Marcon home.â&#x20AC;? Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk showcases plenty of that perfection.

$10,000

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the little details,â&#x20AC;? says Chiu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen any other developer pay so much attention to details.â&#x20AC;? Among those little details are a motionsensor light underneath the bathroom vanity that allows you to illuminate the space just enough to be able to see what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing without having to turn on the overhead lights; something especially convenient at night. Another particularly special detail that Chiu notes are the USB charging stations in most homes that are integrated seamlessly into the kitchen and bedroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These kind of things go a long way,â&#x20AC;? says Chiu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really demonstrates the quality of these homes.â&#x20AC;? Nine-foot ceilings and huge windows contribute to the open, airy feel of the homes. Buyers are able to choose between two colour schemes, Grey and Natural, giving you the ability to make your place fit your personal

style just a bit more. Wide-plank laminate flooring throughout the main living areas and modern scrolled level-loop nylon carpeting throughout the bedrooms give you that extra touch of elegance. Other quality finishings include stainlesssteel appliances in the kitchen, complemented by the modern thermafoil cabinetry, with Shaker uppers in Euro White and eased edge square-profile lowers in either Covaren Crystal or Miltown Oak, and solid quartz countertops. The bathrooms feature their own solid quartz countertops, along with Euro White Shaker cabinetry, a deep soaker tub and convenient vanities. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also find a steelframed mirror with brushed steel accent light bar and a full-height tile tub and shower surround. The 71 one-, two- and three-bedroom homes are available in a wide range of

floorplans encompassing approximately 629 to over 1,000 square feet. Generous patios and terraces extend your living space outside, and select ground-level homes include a street entry gate for added convenience. Meanwhile, some of the south-facing third- and fourthfloor homes feature stunning views. Homeowners will have access to an outdoor amenity space, including a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play area. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the future Evergreen Line just three minutes away, as well as shopping, dining, education and recreation opportunities within easy walking distance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This neighbourhood is definitely growing,â&#x20AC;? says Chiu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk is immersed in this emerging little city.â&#x20AC;? Buyers will be able to take possession of their new home in mid-2015. Available homes at Reganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk start at $229,900. For more information, visit www.reganswalk.ca, call 604-492-0222 or stop by the sales centre, located at Burquitlam Plaza, 408-522 Clarke Road, Coquitlam, open daily (except Fridays) between noon and 5 p.m.

homeProﬁle Decorating for the season doesn’t have to be stressful CONTINUED FROM HOME FRONT

Clayfun Creations sells handmade polymer clay ornaments and figurines. This will be Droder’s first time attending the show, and she’s looking forward to being part of it. “I have added new pieces to the collection of ornaments that I will be showcasing this year, as I do every year,” she says. “I always add two new ‘family ornaments’ every year and as well, I have added about 10 new individual ornaments.” Flowers are always an integral part of any holiday display, whether it’s the classic poinsettia or a contemporary table centrepiece. “When you’re looking for a poinsettia, make sure it has a nice, deep, rich colour and lots of leaves,” says Tony Hui of 99 Nursery and Florist. “The leaves should be dark green. If the leaves are yellow and the berries fall off, that’s a stressed plant.” If a traditional table centrepiece will be part of your decor, Hui suggests looking for carnations and chrysanthemums. “Christmas is a five-week holiday!” he says. “You need a centrepiece that will stand up for awhile. If you buy it two to three weeks before, keep it inside the house during the day and put it outside at night if it’s about freezing.” This will prolong the life of your centrepiece for about a week to 10 days, he says. However, he cautions that you can’t do that with poinsettia. “They need to be inside all the time,” Hui says. “Don’t put it near a heat Fluff Design & Decor photo, above and bottom left, NobleWalters photo below, Ninh Hoang Photography for 3H Craftworks Society photo bottom. source or any cold drafts.” Whether you’re looking for something modern and stylish or want to return to the traditional decor you grew up with, you’ll ﬁnd 99 Nursery and Florist will be on-hand at the West Coast Christmas Show plenty of inspiration at the West Coast Christmas Show, which will take place Nov. 22 to 24 at the Tradex in Abbotsford. to showcase some of their wares as well as give visitors some tips. Gayle Oyama of Oyama Projects, which sells handmade crystal ornaments, will also be taking part in the show this year. “For myself, I select things that have meaning and excellent memories,” she says. “They are things collected on holidays by myself, family and friends, so (they’re) unique and have meaning and memories. Sometimes they are not meant to be Christmas decorations, but do find their way onto the Christmas tree.” Personal pieces, whether they’re old or new, set your home apart when it comes to decor, and this is never more true than during the holidays when you’re gathering with family and friends. “I love decorating with nature,” says Suzy Walters of NobleWalters. “When I take walks I leave the house with a bag and collect pine cones of all sizes. I fill glass bowls with Christmas balls and pine cones, I create wreathes and garlands with pine cones. I have also glued them onto different sized spheres that then look like trees and dusted pine cones with glitter and placed them on the mantel.” NobleWalters, owned by Walters and Sue Noble, sells Creative Tea Towels that are cut, sewn and silk-screen printed in Vancouver with art from local B.C. artists, including some of their own family members. They will also be showcasing JayDot Creative Cards and Henry’s Zoo, cuddly creatures made by Walters’ mother. “Both Sue and I are proud of our talented family members!” says Walters. Charity and thinking of others is an important part of the holiday season, and the 3H Craftworks Society keeps this at top of mind. “This year we are showcasing our beautiful hand-crafted Christmas products, including traditional advent calendars, ornaments, stockings and housewares,” says executive director Amanda Cairns. “Craftworks is a non-profit that supports adults living with mental illness and/or physical disabilities through craft-therapy. By purchasing our crafts, you’re not only receiving a beautiful piece, you’re also supporting much-needed direct social services for adults who face multiple barriers to employment and community.” She says that the society always urges homeowners to think of local businesses when they’re looking for holiday decor. “There are numerous local organizations that make beautiful products to meet your holiday wish lists,” Cairns says. “Support local businesses and create stronger communities.” The West Coast Christmas Show takes place from Nov. 22 to Nov. 24.

The City of Langley received a prestigious national award for its brownfield redevelopment strategy, during the Canadian Urban Institute’s 13th annual Brownie Awards ceremony last month in Toronto.

Mastermind Toys opened up its first B.C. store in Langley at 20085 Langley Byass. An inflatable snow fort (below) is one of this season’s hottest toys.

Mastermind services include complimentary gift wrapping. A team of 20 knowledgeable hands-on toy experts have been hired for the Langley store. Carr suggests customers rely on them for help. “If you say I have to buy for a six-year-old boy, they can provide you with really good ideas, showing you what that boy might like,” Carr said.

The strategy is the first of its kind at the local government level in British Colum-

bia and to date has resulted in $192.9 million in new construction value and more than 850 jobs. “The purpose of the strategy is to act as a catalyst for generating new investment and to create additional vitality in the City of Langley,” added acting Mayor Schaffer. “It builds on the city’s

The award comes on the heels of the City receiving a Municipal Excellence Award

from the NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development Association (Vancouver Chapter) for excelling in creating an environment that cultivates business creation. “From supporting jobs creation, to building a robust business community and helping to enhance quality of life, we recognize the incredibly important role the development industry plays in our community,” said Schaffer.

Awards gala honours best in construction A record number of nominations have been submitted for the Re/MAX Fraser Valley Real Commercial Building Awards, which will be held next Thursday (Nov. 28) at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre in Langley. The third annual awards gala, which honours the best in commercial and industrial construction in the region, co-ordinated by Invest Northwest Publishing Ltd., promises to be the biggest yet. “We believed this year would set a record for the number of nominations, and it has worked out that way, with 43,” says Mark MacDonald, president of INWP. “These events draw some of the Fraser Valley’s largest and

most successful builders and owners from Surrey, North Delta, Langley, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Mission, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and the areas in between.” “The Thompson Okanagan Building Awards has become a premier event on the calendar. I look forward each year to the unveiling of the top development projects in the region and hearing the stories behind them as well as seeing the passion that the award winners have for their projects,” said Roy Anderson of Re/ MAX Commercial, the title sponsor of the event. Gold sponsors of the event are the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board Commercial Division, and Fortis BC. Real Estate expert

Lightning strike for Fraser Valley title

G A RY A HUJA Time s Spo rts

Turnaround leads to title GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

After a tough opening day which left them in last place in their pool of four teams at the Fraser Valley championships, the Langley Christian Lightning put together a stunning turnaround to capture the Valley banner for the first time in school history. “The jell was missing, we didn’t have it all together on the Friday,” said Marie Grim, the coach of the Lightning

Grade 8 boys volleyball team. “They laid it all out on the floor on the last day.” The team was competing at Hatzic Secondary for the two-day competition. Sitting fourth in their pool after the first day — it was the tournament’s toughest division as all four teams advanced to the final four — the Lightning defeated Elgin Park in the crossover quarter-fi-

nals, knocked off MEI in the semifinals and then beat Semiahmoo in the finals. “It was icing on the cake,” Grim said. “They worked hard all season long.” Brodie Hofer was named the most valuable player of the Fraser Valley championships, while Mattias Dahl was an all-star. The Lightning had also won the Langley district championship earlier this month.

They may have missed out on one of their season goals, but they scratched another one off their list and are in position to contend for the third goal. The Langley Fundamental Titans took care of the second of those three goals on Monday night, knocking off the Pacific Academy Breakers 3-0 (25-18,25-21,2523) to win the first-ever Fraser Valley senior girls AA volleyball championship banner in school history. The match was played at the Langley Events Centre and was a sweet measure of revenge for the Titans as two weeks ago, the Breakers earned top spot in league play with a straight-sets victory over Langley Fundamental. The Titans were second at 8-1 while Pacific Academy won the regular season title at 9-0. “Our girls were a little overwhelmed, they had a big crowd there,” said Titans coach David Carrasco, of the match played two weeks ago at Surrey’s Pacific Academy. Part of the problem is the heated rivalry between the two schools. “I think they just had built it up a little too much in their heads

After letting the first set slip away, coach Mary Joan Visscher had some simple advice for her Langley Christian Lightning players. “I had said to them being in a championship final does not come easily,” Visscher said. “The champion is going to be one that rises from this. If you want to earn that, you need to demonstrate that, you need to play and show that because it is not something that is going to be given to you.” And her team delivered, winning the next three sets — two of them by decisive scores — to defeat the White Rock Christian Warriors 3-1 (23-25,25-14,25-21,25-12) to capture the Fraser Valley senior girls Single A championship banner. It is the first banner at that level for Langley Christian since 2009. Visscher had previously coached at Surrey Christian but spent the last seven years on Vancouver Island, most recently coaching Duncan Christian, where the Lightning will compete at the B.C. Single A provincial championships. The tournament runs Nov. 28 to Nov. 30. “To come back and win a banner was amazing,” Visscher said in her return to the Lower Mainland.

At the start of the season, Visscher said she knew her team had potential and athleticism. What it would take would be perseverance and hard work, and that makes the title even sweeter. “When you work hard for something, the celebration becomes much more enjoyable,” she said. The Lightning finished first in their league, with their lone loss in league play coming at the hands of the Warriors. Langley Christian did win the rematch to take top spot with an 8-1 record in the six-team league. The team also faced White Rock Christian Academy once at a tournament and won that game. The Lightning finished top five at all four tournaments they entered, and that is the goal at provincials, Visscher said. Langley Christian’s Sarah Kunst was named most valuable player while Emma Kastelein and Gabriella Schnitzer both earned all-star recognition. ••••• The Credo Christian Kodiaks lost the bronze medal match to the High Road Academy Knights on Monday afternoon at the LEC. Credo’s Shannon Driegen was named to the all-star team.

and they played more comfortable (in the Fraser Valley final),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just seemed much different watching the team compared to when they played (Pacific Academy) the first time.â&#x20AC;? The Titans were led by most valuable player Brie Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly as well as all-stars Kim Bauder and Ali Johnson. Carrasco did admit that the Breakers were missing a key player to injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Chloe Stone) is a significant piece so I am not going to say we beat them at full strength,â&#x20AC;? he said. But they will take the win and use it as momentum heading into next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s B.C. AA provincial championships. The tournament runs Nov. 28 to Nov. 30 at Pacific Academy. Langley Fundamental began the

season ranked 10th in the province and had risen to as high as No. 2. They were knocked down after losing to Pacific Academy a couple of weeks ago, but should reclaim that ranking heading into provincials. Carrasco knows his team is in tough, but expects them to contend for a medal. To prepare for the task, they have consistently faced AAA and AAAA ranked teams throughout the season, holding their own and winning against some of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bigger schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of tough teams and teams that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even played yet,â&#x20AC;? he said. But this Titans squad knows what to expect, especially considering many of the current players were on the junior team two years ago which lost in the provincial gold medal match to South Delta.

Langley Fundamental Titansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Taylor Janzen (#7) and Karah Kostomo watch to see which way the ball will fall during the senior girls AA Fraser Valley championship game against Pacific Academy Monday night at the Langley Events Centre. The Titans won 3-0 to earn the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first ever Fraser Valley title at the senior girls level.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Cats qualify for B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s

A flat start to the bronze medal game was too much to overcome for the Brookswood Bobcats who just missed a podium finish. The Bobcats senior girls volleyball team was competing at the Fraser Valley AAA championships, where they dropped the third-place game to the Rick Hansen Hurricanes on Monday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre. The loss was disappointing as the Bobcats had beaten the Hurricanes earlier in the regular season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They struggled to rally back and got beat by mental errors,â&#x20AC;? said coach Janet Wiens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Definitely not one of our better games.â&#x20AC;? But the fourth-place finish

was still enough to qualify the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Cats for the provincial championships, which run Nov. 28 to Nov. 30 at Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seaquam Secondary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Qualifying for provincials wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really a surprise because if the team played consistently well, I felt we could finish in the top four in the Fraser Valleys,â&#x20AC;? Wiens said. What did surprise the coach was a second-place finish in league play, thanks to a 6-2 record, with both losses coming at the hands of Seaquam and Clayton Heights, who finished one-two at the Fraser Valley championships. The â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Cats are a young squad â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they boast just one Grade 12 and also have a Grade 9 and a Grade 10 player on the roster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so Wiens knows the experience they gain this year will only

help them next season when the majority of the roster is in their final season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a young team (and) getting provincial exposure will only make us a force to be reckoned with next year,â&#x20AC;? she said. Brookswood did land one player, Nicole Chevrier, on the all-star team. And Wiens predicts great things to come for her Grade 11 star. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a sponge; she takes in everything sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shown, taught or told and applies it,â&#x20AC;? Wiens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And she has a natural gift to read whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in the court and to adapt to it, a trait that cannot be taught.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a Grade 11 player, I predict she will dominate in both high school and club volleyball,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Express, Grizzlies top Rivermen

SURLANG

For the better part of the BCHL season so far, the Langley Rivermen have done a good job of keeping the puck out of their net. Unfortunately, that was not the case this weekend as the junior A hockey club was on the wrong end of a pair of games, 6-3 to the Coquitlam Express and 7-5 to the Victoria Grizzlies.

The Express game was on the road at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre on Nov. 15 while the Victoria contest was at the Langley Events Centre on Nov. 16. Austin Azudia, Gage Torrel and Jackson Wanick scored in the loss to Coquitlam while Marcus Vela

had a pair and Mitch McLain, Nathan Craft and Jakob Reichert t a l l i e d against the Grizzlies. But the end result is just one win in their past five games for Langley (13-0-1) which has seen them drop a point behind the Prince George Spruce Kings for top spot in the

Mainland Division. Prince George (148-2-2) has 32 points through 26 games while Langley (148-1-2) sits one back with 31 points in 25 games. The Rivermen do have a game in hand and the two teams square off tonight (Thursday) at the Langley Events Centre (7:15 p.m. puck drop).

Health Matters

Most of us can stand to be a little fitter and leaner, so when we do get moving, it’s interesting to note that men and women gravitate to different activities – men prefer pumping iron while women gravitate to Pilates & yoga. We would all be healthier to take a page from each other’s choices. Men should focus on aerobic capacity and flexibility while women should concentrate on building bone and muscle mass. The goal is balanced fitness. Just about everyone has heard the importance of “core” exercises – they’ve largely replaced “abdominal” exercises as our understanding of functionality and injury prevention has improved. Sit-ups are very passé and traditional crunches are on their way out too. Planks are where it’s at! Throw in a few “oblique” exercises and you will have a stronger, more stable core to support you – both for sport and daily living activities. When you’re starting a new strength training routine, it’s normal to feel some soreness – peaking 24-48 hours after the exercise then fading over another day. If the pain seems extreme, trying cutting back a

little – on both the number of repetitions and the number of sets of the exercise. Add more to future workouts as the soreness diminishes. But be alert! If you experience BOB SANGHA sudden, sharp or long-lasting Pharmacist, BSc pain, see your doctor. There’s a reason to avoid doing strength training on back-to-back days: Your body needs at least a day to recover! Effective strength training results in small injuries to muscles which the body repairs and rebuilds during the rest. It is a good idea to ensure your body receives the nutrition it needs during this rest – plenty of water and lean protein. The bonus benefit is that this helps you maintain your muscle mass while losing fat. Win-win! It’s always a good idea to check with your health care team before initiating a new exercise regimen. More and more studies are supporting the benefits of exercise forming a part of your health plan and, as with drugs, there are optimal ways to include it.

Hawks soaring as season nears mid-point Vancouver Giants and three behind the Okanagan Rockets. The Hawks close out the first half of the schedule with a pair of home games Nov. 30-Dec. 1 against the seventh-place North Island Silvertips. The Hawks got the jump on the Chiefs last weekend, taking a 3-0 lead 10 minutes into the first game on goals by Justin Wilde of Surrey, White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Devante Stephens and Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eric Callegari. Jesse Lansdell of Langley had a pair of assists. The Chiefs tallied twice in 59 seconds later in the period, then the two rivals played the final 40 minutes without a goal. Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rematch featured plenty of offense, but after tak-

ing a 2-0 lead less than three minutes into the game, the Hawks never trailed. Luke Gingras of Langley opened the scoring two minutes into the game, then Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shakeel Ebrahim added another Valley West goal 16 seconds later. After the Chiefs got on the scoreboard, Matt Bradley of Surrey made it 3-1 before the first intermission. Lansdell and Gingras upped the count to 5-1 midway through the second period, before the Chiefs notched their second of the game. Vancouver scored three times in the third period, but Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal of the game and Wildeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second of the weekend kept Valley West in front.

ÂŠ Disney, ÂŠ Disney/Pixar.

Clinging to third place a week ago, the Valley West Hawks are now clearly a top three team in the BC Hockey Major Midget League. Facing off against the fourthplace Vancouver Chiefs in a two-game series last week, the Hawks won twice to turn a three-point lead into a seven-point cushion. Two games away from the midway point in the season, Valley West is now part of a three-team group that has pulled away from the rest of the league. Following their 3-2 win Saturday in Langley and 7-5 victory Sunday in Coquitlam, the Hawks are now 12-6-0 and are one point back of the 12-3-1

Spartans split with UNBC Wolves with a 92-73 win the next night. The results leave Tr i n i t y Western with a 3-3 mark. In the victory, Jesse Jeffers scored a career-high 21 points to go along with seven rebounds while Kelvin

Smith had 16 points and Tyus Allen scored a dozen. In the loss, Justin Bakuteka was the lone Spartan to hit double digits, scoring 12 points. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team also hosted UNBC in a pair

of games with the Timberwolves winning both to drop the Spartans record to 1-5. UNBC won the opener 67-61 and the rematch 65-60. Janelle Traber scored 11 to lead the Spartans in the first game while Holly Strom had 21 points in the second.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

The S3 really is the sweet spot for drivers that want to have extra power but with a very compliant and comfortable ride. Zack Spencer

Visit the Audi A3 photo gallery at drivewayBC.ca

Audi’s road ahead paved with more than good intentions 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet/S3 MONACO: Over the next 12 months or so, consumers are going to be treated to an onslaught of new entries into the premium market. Not to worry, the next wave of German sedans and convertibles are of a more affordable nature. Recently Mercedes Benz introduced their all-new CLA 250 at an eye-popping price of just $34,000 for a sleek and sexy sedan. Next year we will see the introduction of BMW’s new 1-series and 2-Series sedans, coupes and convertibles. Audi has been ahead of the curve as they helped pioneer this entry-level segment with the original, the A3 sportback, sold in Canada for years. The all-new Audi A3 sedan will arrive in March of 2014 and the convertible and more powerful S3 sedan will arrive in the fall of 2014. This week I had a chance to drive both the convertible and S3 in Monte Carlo, a full year ahead of their introduction here. Audi is one of the fastest growing premium brands and a big part of that is the variety of cars they offer. Unfortunately, we will no longer get the sportback, but the fact we get the rest of the line of A3s is exciting for buyers. Looks The A3 is built off a shared platform with VW called MQB. This platform was a significant investment for the VW group as it is lighter, bigger and stronger than the last Golf platform and provides a sturdy basis for the A3 Cabrio and S3. The new Cabriolet is 60kg lighter than the outgoing European model, yet the wheelbase is longer and the interior room and trunk more ample. It could be argued that Audi is building some of the most attractive cars these days and these smaller products still convey the same sense of power and solidity that the bigger products portray. The S3 is especially forceful with a 15mm lower stance than the A3 sedan. The air intakes are bigger with more detail; the side mirrors are highlighted with brushed aluminum; and the rear of the car looks more masculine thanks to chunky exhaust tips. The

direct injection turbo with 220hp, matched to Cabriolet on the other hand is a more sophisticated approach thanks to the use of aluminum Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system.

Driving to cut Big Oil profits They should just call the 2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid Sedan the Gas Miser. The car is here for testing right now but surely, it will see production next year and arrive in dealerships later in the year. When it does sell your shares in Big Oil. It only sips gas by the spoonful; how else do you account for an easily achievable 4.1 L/100km combined city/highway fuel economy rating? Drive gently around town and

it’s hard to put a real life meaning into that number but it is useful when comparing with similarly equipped cars. But when you look at that number and the low gas/ hybrid combined fuel performance, which enables you to journey 800 kilometres on one tank, it does plant the notion in one’s head that plug-in hybrids are the way to go for a while before we reach hydrogen fuel cell nirvana. The car is powered by Honda’s

you can purr along in all-electric mode for between 20 and 28 kms depending on road conditions. You won’t achieve that all at once, unless it’s the dead of night on a flat road, without other traffic and green lights all the way. However, it is estimated that if you achieve that 20-plus all-electric ride during a 100 km journey, the power unit will consume electricity/ gasoline at an equivalency of around 1.6 L/100km. In truth,

motor. Electric driving is supported by a 6.7 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery, and total system output is 196 horsepower. If your eyes glazed over at the power unit specifications, join the club! Fuel economy interests me more. Like every other car with green aspirations that I have driven, it coaxed me into a little competition with myself every time out to achieve maximum fuel efficiency. It’s

fun to select EV mode and pull away in the morning in silence, operating as a pure electric vehicle. Even in stop and go traffic, it works well, the regenerative braking keeps topping up the battery. As the speedo creeps up the gas engine kicks in quietly and smoothly. If you select HV mode it operates as a conventional hybrid. I drove a production version of the Ford Fusion Energi a few months ago, which is sim-

ilarly equipped and impresses equally with its infrequent need to visit the pump. The plug in Toyota Prius is another contender for the green dollar. The Ford is probably the nearest equivalent and sells for around $35,000 so that will be the sticker price to beat. I would like to hear from early adopters of the plug in hybrid technology about their experiences. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Regardless of the rim size originally ordered, the overall height and tire-to-body gap remained the same, so that it doesn’t detract from the overall look of the car. A major difference between the Camaro and, its rival, the Ford Mustang is the rear axle and suspension. Mustang has a rigid rear axle and the Camaro uses a more sophisticated independent link system with coil springs attached to an isolated sub-frame. It should result in a better riding and handling car. A driving drawback that’s common to many sports cars is rear visibility and small side mirrors don’t help matters.

Other significant changes included an eight-horsepower output increase for the base 3.6-litre V6 and a “Head-Up” dash display was offered (on 2LT and SS trim levels). The base engine was also upgraded to a new “LFX” 3.6-litre, V6. Although its displacement is the same as the original, this new engine is lighter and more powerful. A limited edition high-performance Camaro ZL1 arrived in 2012. This car has a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 engine that can produce an insane 580 horsepower … and is collector car certainty. The Chevrolet Camaro made it on the Consumer Reports “Recommended’ list of good, reliable cars to buy. Great to look at and a hoot to drive, even the V6 engine editions of this Camaro have more than enough power for most drivers.

13.2 L/100km in city and 7.9 L/100km on highway. Compared to the original ‘67 this Camaro is longer, wider and taller. Bigger wheels, which came in 18-inch to 21-inch rim

The 2010 model year Chevrolet Camaro was designed in the USA, engineered in Australia and built in Canada. This Camaro boasts a sophisticated rear-drive chassis, two powerful engine choices and more. Initially, the new Camaro came in LS, LT and SS trim levels. The base engine is a Cadillac sourced direct-injection 3.6-litre V6. It can generate 304 hp and is mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. A more potent 6.2-litre V8 engine (from the Corvette) lies under the hood of the SS. When paired with a 6-speed manual it can pump out 425 hp. A 400 hp edition of this engine, with a fuel saving cylinder deactivation system, came paired to the optional six-speed automatic transmission. Chevrolet claimed the Camaro V6 can reach 100 km/hour in just 6.1 seconds and SS can do it in a tire blistering 4.7 seconds, which is super-car territory. Fuel consumption is also less (or better) than you might expect and both engines can run on regular gasoline. The Camaro V6 (auto) is rated at 11.4 L/100km in city and 6.7 L/100km on highway.

CAR CARE & REPAIR

Important to Winterize Vehicle As fall gradually gives way to winter, vehicle owners often sigh at the thought of driving in winter weather or spending weekday mornings clearing their vehicles of ice before heading to the office. But manning the wheel through another snowstorm or whittling away another night's worth of ice from a car's windshield are not the only rites of passage motorists must endure as cold weather returns. Winterizing a vehicle can improve vehicle performance during a time of year that, in many locales, can be especially harsh on automobiles. Low temperatures make for less than ideal conditions for engines to run, while potholes left behind by snow plows can damage a vehicle's wheels and may even result in flat tires and a damaged suspension system. In addition, salt used to improve traction on roadways can cause rust. Short of moving to a locale with mild winters, there's little drivers can do to protect their vehicles from harsh winter weather. But winterizing a vehicle can prevent some of the more common issues drivers may encounter when the temperatures dip below freezing. • Take time out for your tires. Winter weather can limit traction, putting the safety of drivers and their passengers in jeopardy. When possible, avoid driving in the snow, and steer clear of roads where ice and black ice are known to form. While such measures can greatly reduce your risk of being in an accident, you likely can't avoid driving entirely come the winter. Drivers who want improved traction from their tires throughout the

winter can purchase winter tires for their vehicles. Such tires can more effectively handle roads that are covered in snow and ice than all-season tires. Another way to improve traction during the winter months is to constantly monitor tire pressure, which decreases more rapidly when the weather is cold. Properly inflated tires provide better traction and protect against damage that may occur when driving over potholes. • Consider a low-viscosity oil in the winter. The owner's manual of your vehicle may recommend you use a lower viscosity motor oil to counter the dip in temperature that's synonymous with winter. When the temperatures outside fall, the oil inside your vehicle thickens, and a thicker oil won't circulate through the engine as well. This can cause engine problems because the engine won't be adequately lubricated. A low-viscosity oil is naturally thinner, so it may improve lubrication throughout the winter. The vehicle owner's manual should recommend oils based on climate. If not, talk to your mechanic about changing from the oil you use throughout the year to a low-viscosity alternative during the winter. • Inspect your vehicle before winter arrives. No one wants to be out on the road during the first snowstorm of the year only to discover certain components are not working properly. Belts and hoses, while durable, can be put through strenuous conditions during the winter months, so a close inspection of belts and hoses should be conducted in late fall. In addition, windshield wipers are especially important

in winter, when snowfall can drastically impact visibility. You will want your wipers working at full capacity once the winter begins, so replace older wipers (shelf life for standard wipers is typically one year) and use a de-icing windshield washer fluid to maximize visibility. Another component that must be inspected is your car's battery. Many drivers have experienced a dead battery, which, in warm weather, is more of a nuisance than a health concern. In cold weather, a dead battery can threaten your health if you find yourself stranded in cold weather. Especially low temperatures can compromise a battery's power by as much as 50 percent, so have your battery inspected in late fall and replace it if need be. • Don't be caught off guard. Part of winterizing a vehicle is being prepared if the vehicle breaks down. Make sure you have extra washer fluid in your vehicle's trunk, and don't forget to include an ice scraper, snow brush or even a snow shovel in the trunk as well. A snow shovel may be necessary if you need to dig your car out if it's been buried somewhere other than your driveway. Other items to carry in your trunk include a blanket, a change of clothes, an extra hat, an extra pair of gloves, some nonperishable food, and a few bottles of water. Winter can be especially harsh on automobiles. But drivers can take several preventive steps to ensure their vehicle is safe and sound on the roads this winter.
