Accused killer’s bail hearing delayed

Rare birds spotted during annual Christmas count

ANNUAL COUNT WAS ‘A SATISFYING, SUCCESSFUL DAY’ FOR LANGLEY CLUB M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

The misty weather conditions may have played a role in the reduced numbers at the annual Christmas bird count this year in Langley.

According to Langley Field Naturalists Kathy Masse and Sheila Puls, the volunteers found 67 species, which is one more than was seen last year.

However, the overall count of birds was down from 8,000 last year to 6,061 this Christmas.

The count took place on Sunday, Dec. 29. Members of the Langley Field Naturalists divided into five teams and set out from their meeting spot at ABC Country Restaurant armed with their clipboards and binoculars, to spend the day counting every bird they saw, both numbers and species, in the assigned count area.

shaped area — a segment of the larger circle of the White Rock/ Surrey count area.

The day was drizzly and cool but happily the rain stopped after an hour, said Masse. At 4 p.m., the groups met again, to warm up with a hot chocolate and to tally final numbers.

Stories of rare bird sightings and adventures of the day were shared and enjoyed by all, Puls and Masse said.

They found American robin counts are up this year.

A highlight was the cinnamon teal which is rare in Langley in the Christmas bird count. Some saw large flocks of pine siskin, and American goldfinch.

A peregrine falcon and three American kestrels rounded out other unusual sightings.

“The 2013 Christmas bird count, as it is each year, was a satisfying, successful day for the Langley Field Naturalists,” said Masse.

The man accused of killing a pastor’s son in an attempted grow rip in Langley last year was supposed to be in Surrey Provincial Court on Tuesday morning.

But Jesse Hill’s court appearance for a bail hearing in a jammed and standing-room only courtroom 103 was put off until Jan. 29.

He remains behind bars and has been in jail since his arrest in October.

Hill, 23, of Surrey faces a second degree murder charge in the death of Taylor Johnson.

He also faces charges of break and enter with intent, disguise with intent and discharge of a firearm with intent.

Johnson, 21, was found shot to death on Feb. 26, 2013 in a 200 Street home, which contained a grow-op.

Johnson was the caretaker of the grow-op.

He was the son of a pastor in Delta and had no prior record.

During a press conference, his dad, Paul, said his son had made some new friends of questionable nature.

Taylor Johnson also leaves behind his stepmother and five siblings.

Donations restricted The new Live Langley civic party has announced it will not accept contributions from corporations, unions and other societies, and will limit the amount that individuals can donate to the party and individual candidates.

The party plans to nominate candidates in the Langley Township election in November.

“In B.C.’s municipal elections, there is no limit to what an individual or corporation can donate to a municipal election campaign. This needs to end.

How can we possibly continue to believe that a development proposal is good for the community if developers are the ones paying the bills for the majority of successful election campaigns?” said Brad Richert, vice-president of Live Langley.

“Langley has an opportunity to be an innovator of sustainable urban planning in the suburbs, but we must develop with integrity.”

Richert was involved with a group of local Willoughby neighbourhood residents after a developer swapped lands with the school board, replacing a previously designated school site with over 100 townhouses in 2011-12. Township council voted to rezone the site in favour of a developer that made campaign contributions to the majority of the councillors who later voted for the proposal.

“We are ready to put our money where our mouth is, so to speak” said Live Langley president Clint Lee. “The only way we will be able to run a successful campaign with four candidates this year is if we gain financial support from the general public.

We need to be able to prove that you can be pro-development without ignoring the people and promote sustainable development at arm’s length.”

Lee said this puts the civic party at a financial disadvantage, but waiting for others to take action isn’t working.

Live Langley’s constitution states that “no contributions will be accepted from corporations, unions or other registered B.C. societies. Maximums from individuals will be limited to $750 per calendar year. All contributions are to be made public, and addresses and contact information will not be disclosed.”

Although there are strict donation limits in federal election campaigns, there are no restrictions that limit the amount or who may contribute to municipal campaigns.

While the Union of British Columbia Municipalities has considered motions to reform campaign contributions and spending, no contribution limits have been placed in legislation by the provincial government, which oversees municipal governments.

Discounted tolls are now history

JEF F N AGE L Bl ack Pre s s

Most drivers crossing the Port Mann Bridge are now paying twice as much after a year-long half-price discount ended Jan. 1 and $3 regular tolls took effect.

That may spur more motorists to divert to the free Pattullo Bridge, or even to the Alex Fraser Bridge or Massey Tunnel via the newly opened South Fraser Perimeter Road.

“I guess I’m swimming across the river from now on,” tweeted Langley’sTaylor Reeves.

“The Pattullo looks very good now,” added Mike Palichuk.

Jordan Bateman, B.C. director with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said it’s unfair that the province ended the introductory discount when the Port Mann/ Highway 1 project is not yet finished.

“I’m pretty disappointed they’ve decided to go to the full tolls without having the full bridge open,” Bateman said.

The province says the additional lanes now open west of the Port Mann are delivering the full travel time savings, but the bridge itself will have eight rather than all 10 lanes open for much of this year while work continues to dismantle the old span.

“We still don’t have the much-promised Surrey-to-Coquitlam lane over the bridge,” Bateman said. “There’s still tonnes of weird detours for exits and temporary signage and overnight lane closures. I’m not sure why we’re paying full price for something that isn’t fully finished.”

He predicts more drivers will dodge the $6 round-trip toll by using the Pattullo — which he said is “the last bridge you want to put more traffic on” — or the free crossings further south.

The full South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) is now open, speeding access to those crossings from Highway 1.

“It will be interesting to see what the impact of that road is,” Bateman said, adding north Langley residents can now reach the Tsawwassen ferry terminal in just 40 minutes.

This view of the new Port Mann Bridge looks northeast from Surrey to Coquitlam. Tolls on the bridge are now $3 per single occupancy car, even though construction work on the new bridge and highway is not complete. Critic are predicting that traffic will increase dramatically on the Pattullo Bridge as a result of the full tolls being charged.

Bateman said it was a mistake for the province to announce the new bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel without waiting to gauge the impacts from the SFPR and the increased Port Mann tolls.

“With the doubling of the toll what happens if it’s actually the Pattullo that sees a massive increase and the bottleneck there ends up being worse than Highway 99?” he asked. “When you drop a rock into a pond you need to wait and see where the ripples

go, but government may have painted itself into a corner.”

Bateman said the “weird piecemeal tolling” of the region’s bridges is a big problem and clearly unfair to South of the Fraser residents.

Metro mayors have suggested some form of regional tolling or road pricing so motorists don’t drive farther than necessary to avoid tolls. Transportation Minister Todd Stone has said the province may review its

long-standing tolling policy, which may open the door to reform.

Despite polls showing strong opposition to the toll, transportation ministry officials say traffic counts show many people use the bridge.

In November, 2.86 million vehicles crossed, down about 10 per cent from 3.18 million in November of 2011. But ministry officials say crossings are up 15 to 20 per cent during the morning westbound rush.

‘AK94’ raising funds in memory of avid hockey player M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

The first annual skate and scrimmage in memory of Austin Kingsborough at Twin Rinks on New Year’s Day was a big success.

Organized by Bryan and Christie VanderHoek, the event raised $600 for the newly created AK94 Memorial Fund.

Canlan’s Twin Rinks donated two sheets of ice for the fundraiser. One rink saw a hockey game played with many of Kingsborough’s teammates and the other rink held a family skate.

Bryan was Kingsborough’s hockey coach.

This is the first fundraiser for the AK94 Memorial Fund that was created as a legacy to Kingsborough, an avid and talented ice and ball hockey player who drowned alongside his best friend, Brendan Wilson, when their canoe overturned on Nicola Lake in Merritt on April 21, 2013.

“We want to make this an annual tra-

dition, playing hockey and doing what Austin loved to do,” said Rob Christl, who along with his wife, Trish, Austin’s mom Kelly and several others, sits on the AK94 Memorial committee.

Christl’s daughter Graysen was Austin’s longtime girlfriend.

“Our focus is to keep the memory of the boys alive,” said Christl.

“AK94 Memorial was created for nothing more than an opportunity for Austin’s family to give back to the community that gave so much to them,” said Christl.

In Austin’s mom’s words, “The overwhelming support of family, friends and the amazing community kept me strong in my weakest moments, kept me together, kept me standing and made me very proud.”

All the funds raised will go to kids’ sports in Langley, to help athletes who want to play but can’t afford to. Donations will also

be made to Basics for Babies and Make A Wish for Langley’s sick kids, specifically.

Throughout the year, the Memorial committee will hold fundraisers and collect donations.

“We are just in the process of getting our charity registered so we will be able to offer receipts soon,” said Christl.

The ‘94’ in AK94 is Austin’s ball hockey jersey number. “Austin played on the junior national ball hockey team and would have been going to the world championships in the Czech Republic with the national team this year,” said Christl.

AK94 donated $200 worth of baby products and $100 cash to JRFM’s Basics for Babies fundraiser held at the Langley Events Centre recently.

Last spring, Langley residents were shocked to learn that the two popular Langley Secondary Grade 12 students were missing and their boat had been found,

overturned, on Nicola Lake.

The pair had gone to the Wilsons’ cabin for a weekend.

Once word had got out the pair were missing, students at LSS started fundraisers, selling T-shirts, wrist bands and more with the saying: “Pray For The Boys.” All the funds went to help the families financially through the search and recovery of the boys.

Austin and Brendan’s bodies were found on May 6 by an American recovery team, hired after RCMP dive teams ended their search.

The length of time it took to find the boys’ bodies was the impetus to start up a non-profit society dedicated to searching and recovering victims of drowning.

The non-profit organization, called Legacy Water Search and Recovery Society, will be dedicated to bringing closure to the families of drowning victims. It is mainly made up of members of the Wilson family and friends.

Their goal is to buy and use special sonar equipment similar to that used to recover Wilson’s and Kingsborough’s bodies, after the RCMP dive team were unable to using the limited equipment they had.

Discriminatory tolls we

Published Tuesday and Thursday at 20258 Fraser Highway, Langley, B.C., V3A 4E6 by Black Press Ltd. Sales agreement No. 3298280.

Contents copyright of Black Press.

The tolls on the new Port Mann Bridge have now risen to $3 for single-occupancy vehicles, and the move is discriminatory. It is little more than an advanced tax grab.

When the new bridge opened and tolls were first levied more than a year ago, South Fraser residents (who are the most frequent bridge users), were told they would initially be set at $1.50 because all the work on the bridge and the expanded Highway 1 was not complete.

The work is still not complete, and won’t be for some time, but the higher tolls have kicked in.

The tolls are discriminatory because they are aimed primarily at those who have to use the bridge. Most of these people live in Langley, Abbotsford or Surrey, although there are also some from the Tri-Cities area who use it regularly to get to work south of the Fraser.

Those who benefit from the new interchanges and widened highway west of the bridge pay nothing towards all the improvements they enjoy. The province has not looked into tolling drivers based on the distance they travel on the improved highway — something that is routinely done in many jurisdictions around the world.

While the toll can be justified because of the high cost of all the improvements — improvements which were decades overdue — it should apply to all who benefit from the new highway and bridge, not just the bridge users.

Langley residents at least have one option — they can use the new 555 bus from the Carvolth exchange to quickly get to the Braid SkyTrain station. Residents from Surrey and Abbotsford have no such options available to them.

There is no transit they can use to cross the bridge, even though that was a key promise when the bridge replacement project was announced nine years ago.

The provincial government must treat all regions fairly.

Question langeytimes.com

of the week

Given an increasing number of cases, should the courts be cracking down more on hit and run drivers?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

they

Recent reports of death and illness stemming from the start of the influenza season underlines the importance of vaccinations.

The most severe cases so far have been in Alberta, where health officials estimate the virus has killed 10 people.

In B.C., while the numbers are not as high, Fraser Health reports 30 people in hospital, all suspected of having the H1N1 strain of the flu. Two B.C. residents are confirmed to have died from the disease.

To many, H1N1 is a familiar name. They remember the widespread concern when it was first identified as the “swine flu” in 2009. They also remember that despite dire warnings of an impending pandemic, the virus passed without much damage.

For health officials, that success was a direct result of the intensive vaccination efforts made worldwide.

To skeptics, however, it was just another sign of unwarranted alarm and manufactured panic.

Indeed, it is easy to under-appreciate the flu threat. After all, who hasn’t contracted the virus at some point? For many it’s simply part of winter and nothing worse than a nasty cold.

What they forget is the fact that influenza is not some static disease. It is constantly changing to undermine the defenses we build. If successful, the consequences can be devastating.

In 1918 the most deadly conflict the world had ever seen was nearing its bloody end. But as tragic as the First World War was, more people died in the flu pandemic that struck that year than in the entire war. Estimates put the global death toll at between 50 million and 100 million people. In Canada, the disease claimed 50,000 lives — many of them young and in their prime of life.

Many would like to think that the scale of that pandemic is ancient history. But the fact is the only thing preventing its resurgence are the actions we take to contain an outbreak.

We have the tools at our disposal to reduce the risk.

But it’s up to us to use them.

“We have a choice. We can fill a bag of last year’s troubles and worries and drag it along behind us as we back into the New Year, or we can dust off our hands, hold up our heads and stride into the new year saying ‘Here we are, bring it on, we’re ready for anything.’”

JOHN SCOTTON, LANGLEY

Tinted troubles Editor: On Sept. 28, 2013 (a very sunny day), I was driving south on 196 Street in Langley. I saw an unmarked RCMP SUV-type vehicle with two uniformed officers travelling toward me.

Moments later, I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw the same vehicle put its emergency lights on and do a U-turn in a construction zone. There was heavy traffic and the road marking indicated a double solid line.

My first thought was, “there must be a real emergency.” I carried on and then turned right at the stop sign at 60 Avenue and 196 Street.

Again I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw the SUV weaving in and out of traffic and I was very surprised when the vehicle pulled in behind me. After several minutes, an officer from the passenger side of the SUV approached my passenger door.

“Why did you stop me? I asked.

“I’ll tell you later,” he growled and then took my licence and registration.

He returned a short time later and said, “Here’s a ticket for tinted windows.”

I questioned him about the tint which was on the truck when I bought it a number of years ago.

“There is a zero tolerance of any tint from the driver’s seat forward,” he said.

I was quite surprised. How can this be true when more than half the vehicles on the road have some sort of tint?

I think he was being less than truthful with me.

My GMC Sonoma was a custom order in 1999 and I purchased the vehicle second-hand in 2002. When I purchased the vehicle, the original owner gave me the custom order that states the vehicle was ordered with tinted windows as an additional cost of $160.

If the RCMP take this as a serious offence, why not simply tell all auto glass shops to discontinue the practice and disallow the sale of vehicles with tinted windows?

The effort these officers went to in order to pull me over tells me that there was another reason other than tinted windows. I firmly believe these officers saw a nicely detailed black pickup truck and made an assumption that I was possibly a gang member.

This home in an upscale Langley neighbourhood was home to a marijuana grow-op. A letter writer backs Langley Township’s proposal to restrict medicinal marijuana grow-ops to industrial land.

Put marijuana on industrial land Editor: I would like to urge all residents of Langley to fully support the proposed bylaw in reference to only allowing the growing of marijuana on industrial lands.

We live in a residential area of the ALR, with one-acre zoning, and currently there is a medicinal grow-op in our area. The stench is unbearable when the plants are ready to harvest. It is so bad that our quality of life has changed dramatically.

We can no longer enjoy having the doors open in summer. We have to hold our breath just to get in the car; and constantly have to explain to visitors that it is not us creating the skunk-like smell that lingers continually on our street.

We fully support our mayor and council who want to

preserve Langley as a great place to live and do business.

Please, let’s make sure these drugs are grown in areas that will not affect innocent families. Whether medicinal or not, we should not be subjected to these foul smells that ruin our living environment.

Allowing the growing of marijuana on ALR lands must not be permitted. The rest of us have to go to the drug store to get our prescriptions filled — the same needs to happen for those using these medicines also.

NAME WITHHELD Editor’s note — The author requested to have the name withheld because of the proximity of the grow-op to neighbours’ homes, and fears of retribution.

Harper should leave a legacy Editor: News articles and opinions will keep adding up over the weeks on the not-so-strong conservative leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

My only hope, in this saga for his succession, is that Harper will make a great move towards people in need before leaving. The death of Nelson Mandela reminded us of Brian Mulroney’s huge contribution to end apartheid in South Africa. Wouldn’t it be great to also remember Ste-

phen Harper for something huge, like maybe being the world leader in the fight against poverty, here in Canada and around the world?

It would be quite a turnover, I must agree, but it was also quite a turnover for Mulroney to stand against apartheid over 20 years ago.

Metro directors tussle over oil pipeline response

KINDER MORGAN SET TO APPLY FOR TRANS MOUNTAIN TWINNING JEFF NAGEL Black Press

With Kinder Morgan Canada having unveiled its application to twin the Trans Mountain oil pipeline, Metro Vancouver politicians are scrambling to decide how to respond.

The Metro board voted Nov. 29 to begin its own preliminary analysis of the $5.4-billion project so the regional district can raise tough questions when the National Energy Board begins formal hearings in 2014.

But there’s a wide spectrum of thinking on the board, from mayors who have already come out against the new pipeline that will triple Trans Mountain’s capacity to 890,000 barrels per day to those who prefer a wait-and-see stance to press the company for better safety measures.

“This isn’t about bargaining, this is about saying ‘no’ to something that we know is going to be disastrous for our communities in the long run,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said Friday.

“I do not want to leave this as my legacy as a politician.”

Metro’s board had been expected to endorse concerns raised by Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, who has exchanged letters with Kinder Morgan officials for the past year in an attempt to probe their plans and seek improvements.

But, at Corrigan’s urging, directors voted to defer that endorsement pending more study.

“I don’t want to be in a position where the National Energy Board says ‘Well, Metro says it’s okay as long as we do whatever Belcarra has indicated are the appropriate measures,’” Corrigan said.

Councils in Vancouver and Burnaby already oppose the project and Drew said their strategy of refusing to talk directly to Kinder Morgan is a mistake.

He fears a pipeline rupture spilling into Burrard Inlet and has argued for faster spill response assurances, potentially by pre-staging booms and

other necessary equipment near the Burnaby terminal to quickly contain escaped oil.

North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton noted oil has been shipped through the harbour for a century, albeit in much smaller quantities.

“There have always been risks,” he said. “There are risks now and, regardless of whether or not the Kinder Morgan project goes ahead, there will be risks in the future.”

Walton said the planned seven-fold increase in tanker traffic could actually result in less risk to the environment than posed by the current shipments if regulations tighten and Kinder Morgan and other responders are compelled to improve pipeline monitoring and cleanup capability.

West Vancouver Mayor Mike Smith said Metro must let the NEB process unfold, adding it’s premature to take any position.

Richmond Councillor Harold Steves fears opposition to shipments through Burrard Inlet may prompt Kinder Morgan to switch to an alternate terminal in the Fraser River estuary that would risk a catastrophic spill.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said a defeat of the project as currently proposed might bring other risks, such as a proliferation of oil-carrying rail cars rolling through local cities as oil moves by rail instead.

“If a pipeline doesn’t get built, I can probably foresee our rail yard — Port Coquitlam has the biggest rail yard in B.C. and the second biggest in Western Canada — will become a mobile pipeline.”

Also referred to staff for further recommendation was a request from Delta Mayor Lois Jackson that officials from Kinder Morgan, the NEB and Port Metro Vancouver appear before the Metro board to answer questions.

Other directors warned that couldn’t be done without also hearing delegations from dozens if not hundreds of project opponents.

Many pharmacy customers go to Safeway or Shopper’s Drug Mart to collect points through loyalty programs. But the college of pharmacists wants to ban the offerings as inducements that could harm patients.

Loyalty point ban hits B.C. pharmacies

JEFF NAGEL Black Press

B.C. pharmacies are now banned from handing out loyalty reward points to customers for prescription drug purchases.

The measure — which took effect on Dec. 2 — is already drawing outrage from shoppers and has sparked a legal challenge from Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods, both arms of the Sobeys group that offer popular loyalty card points.

The College of Pharmacists of B.C. first proposed a ban in 2012 but shelved it amid strong public opposition.

However, the college’s board re-examined the issue after the provincial election and unanimously approved the ban Sept. 20, arguing loyalty points are a powerful lure that can alter some shoppers’ buying habits and potentially harm their health.

The bylaw prohibits various gifts, rebates, refunds and other incentives, not just loyalty points.

The college says such incentives are inappropriate “kickbacks” to customers.

“After careful consideration, the College still firmly believes that paying patients for prescriptions is unprofessional, unethical and unsafe,” it states on its website.

The college argues some patients may go without their medicine until they can fill a prescription on a loyalty point bonus day.

It also believes patients with third-party insurance who don’t pay out of pocket may keep refilling a prescription after they no longer need it just to collect more points.

The college calls that a drain on limited health care dollars and says drugs not used by the intended patient may be abused by others or diverted to the illegal drug trade.

It says paying customers a kickback undermines pharmacists’ integrity and the credibility of the profession.

“Patients do not expect to receive payments for other health services they receive, and drug therapy should not be the exception to that rule.”

The college hopes a points ban will result in patients choosing a pharmacy or pharmacist on their own merits, not inducements.

Some patients on Canada Safeway’s Facebook page said they may switch to closer pharmacies as a result of the ban on issuing Air Miles points for prescriptions at Safeway.

Victoria senior Randy McEwen said he doubts anyone would delay filling prescriptions for the sake of a bonus.

“Most Canadians are smart enough to make rational decisions,” said McEwen, who uses prescription points to fly his children in from Edmonton.

“This ban discriminates the elderly and the chronically ill.

“Why would you let me collect points on gas or banking but not on prescription drugs?”

Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods were slated to be in court Tuesday seeking an injunction.

They argue the incentives ban mainly targets larger chains and unfairly props up smaller independent pharmacies.

“There is no evidence that incentives pose a risk to patient care or safety, or that they undermine the ethical conduct of pharmacists,” said the Sobeys petition in B.C. Supreme Court.

Exempted from the ban are free or discounted parking or delivery services, and payment by credit or debit cards that generate loyalty benefits.

“The federal scientists stress the mercury loadings around the oilsands are low compared to the contamination seen in many parts of North America including southern Ontario and southern Quebec,” the news report states.

This is like the study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution in northern Alberta lakes that was twisted into propaganda and fed to the news media last year. This is another group of neurotoxins that are far more concentrated in urban areas than around remote industry.

Consumption, rather than production of coal, diesel and other fuels produces the vast majority of these emissions.

I look forward to the study of their effects around Lost Lagoon and Burnaby Lake.

Of course safe levels of these materials have been set by Health Canada. You’re more likely to get significant exposure to mercury from a broken fluorescent lamp or the mercury amalgam in your old tooth fillings than you are from feeding ducks at the lake, although you might get a whiff of PAH when you gas up the car or board the bus.

202A Street upgrades will be costly D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The cost of upgrading the road that runs in front of R.E. Mountain Secondary school has been pegged at

$3.17 million by the Township of Langley engineering division.

A memo to council from the engineering division says the costs for improving

the 495-metre section of 202A Street that runs in front of the school will be higher than other areas of a planned upgrade.

The Township mas-

ter plan calls for an eventual expansion from the current twolane street and 20-metre wide road allowance into a four-lane divided road with curb,

gutter, street lights and “multi-purpose shared greenways on both sides of the road” that will require a width of 38 metres.

“The costs are great-

er than other areas due to the need for additional works such as retaining walls, relocation of driveways, and modifications to existing parking areas” the

memo says.

Total cost of overhauling 202A Street between 74 Avenue and 80 Avenue is estimated at $11.5 million.

The memo was generated in response to a council request after the mayor and councillors approved a $50,000 quick fix to improve safety for student pedestrians by installing an asphalt curb along with improvements to street lighting.

Parents concerned about pupil safety have been pressing for improvements to the road, which has no physical barrier separating the R.E. Mountain students who walk to school from road traffic, only a painted white line on the pavement shoulder.

At more than 1,100 pupils, the school has the second-largest student population in the Langley school district.

Parents and members of R.E. Mountain Secondary’s PAC have been campaigning for improvements to student pedestrian safety since March, 2012, citing several near-misses with cars.

Bozo 911 calls show no signs of abating E-COMM RELEASES TOP 10 ABSURD NON-EMERGENCIES OF 2013

J EF F N AGEL Bla ck Pre s s

Do not dial 911 to ask for a morning wake-up call.

Or to discipline your children. Or to ask permission to use the HOV lane to get to an important meeting.

Those are a few fresh examples of jaw-droppingly inappropriate 911 calls made by Lower Mainland residents in 2013 that offer strong evidence some people are too dumb to possess a cellphone or at least discern what’s a real emergency.

The list was released Monday by E-Comm and is just a taste of what staff regularly field at southwestern B.C.’s emergency communications centre.

In the number one spot this year was a call E-Comm’s Matthew Collins received

from a caller wanting to rent a fire truck to block off a street for a party.

“My son won’t give me the remote control,” another caller reported as an emergency to a 911 call-taker.

“Can an officer come over to tell my kids to go to bed?” asked another.

E-Comm spokesperson Jody Robertson said people who make nuisance calls to 911 are tying up valuable resources for people with real life-anddeath emergencies.

“There are many documented cases of children as young as two and three years old properly making emergency calls,” she said.

“Little ones seem to get it.

“Others among us seem to require a bit more help.”

Robertson wasn’t able to say how many of the 2,500 daily emergency calls fall into the nuisance category but added far too many calls come in seeking information about power outages, what time it is, when to turn clocks back or about local or international events.

“I think if you ask our staff they’d say it’s gotten worse,” she said.

“It happens way too many times and it happens every single day.”

Robertson said the one she found remarkable was the caller who asked for the OK to drive in the HOV lane because traffic was backed up and they were late for a meeting.

“I appreciate them asking permission but you’ve really got to ask

yourself if it’s that important that you would dial 911 and potentially take a 911 call operator’s time away from someone in serious need.”

She said it was “sadly” difficult to narrow the list of absurd reasons down to just 10.

But anyone can search Twitter for #911EmergOnly to find more 911 bozo calls tweeted regularly by E-Comm staff from @EComm911_info.

A huge problem for E-Comm remains pocket dials by cellphone users or calls otherwise made in error.

About 100,000 of those calls come in each year or nearly 10 per cent of total volume.

E-Comm recommends using keylocks, protective cases and not pre-programming 911 into phones to help cut down on the problem Some people quickly hang up when they realize they dialed 911 by mistake.

“That’s actually the worst thing you can do,” Robertson said, adding call takers must then make repeated attempts to call you back to make sure there’s no emergency.

If the call came from a landline, she added, police will likely be dispatched to ensure you’re OK. Non-emergency calls — like reporting vandalism to your car — should go through the 10-digit non-emergency police number.

TOP TEN 911 NUISANCE CALLS 1. “I’d like to speak to someone about renting a fire truck to block off a street for a party.”

2. A caller phoned 911 to get their date’s contact information so they could confirm details of their plans.

3. A caller phoned 911 to report a missed newspaper delivery.

4. Caller asks 911 if they can get the ‘OK’ to drive in the HOV lane because “traffic is backed up and they are late for an im-

portant meeting.”

5. Caller dials 911 to activate voicemail on his cellphone.

6. “I threw my phone into the garbage can and can’t get it out.”

7. Caller dials 911 to ask for a morning wake-up call.

8. Caller dials 911 to ask how to call the operator.

9. “Can an officer come over to tell my kids to go to bed?”

10. “My son won’t give me the remote control.”

Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann — the Bergmann Piano Duo — above and Paolo Bortolussi (below), on flute, present an afternoon of Latin-inspired music on Sunday, Jan. 12. L’histoire du Tango begins at 4 p.m. with a pre-concert talk at 3 p.m. at Langley Community Music School’s Rose Gellert Hall.

At LCMS, it takes three to tango Langley Community Music School presents The Bergmann Piano Duo and Paolo Bortolussi, flute, to the Rose Gellert Hall on Sunday, Jan. 12 for L’histore du Tango, a Latin-inspired program that’s sure to entertain.

Coffee and commentary are hosted before the concert with the school’s artistic director of concerts Elizabeth Bergmann at 3 p.m., followed by the performance at 4 p.m.

“What a wonderful way to keep warm this January by listening to some fiery tango and tango-inspired music,” said Bergmann.

“This concert is dedicated to the tango inspired music of of Astor Piazzolla and the main piece on the program features his flute and piano work, L’histoire du Tango. It’s exemplary of the composer’s knack for combining passion and energy with the sensual and more evocative elements of the tango.”

Paolo Bortolussi will demonstrate his flare for tango on the flute with a couple of solo Tango etudes by the Argentinian composer. He will also partner with Marcel Bergmann on piano to perform the famous l’histoire du Tango.

Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann will perform Michaelangelo 70 arranged for two pianos by Piazzolla’s long time colleague and pianist of his ensemble, Pablo Ziegler, as

well as the well-known Libertango and Oblivion arranged by Marcel.

The duo will also include an original work by Marcel inspired by Piazzolla, Ben Venuto.

Bergmann Piano Duo Tickets are available at the box office and by calling 604-534-2848. Admission is $15 adults, $13 seniors, and $10 students. The Rose Gellert Hall is located at 4899 207 St.

Holy, Moses! It’s quite a production

IM AGINE THAT! PRESENTS HOLY MO AND SPEW BOY JAN. 17-19 AT THE VENUE BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

One producer-director, three performers and a cast of thousands. What it all adds up to is four performances of one play that is sure to thrill everyone, as Imagine That! productions presents the frenetic Canadian comedy Holy Mo and Spew Boy this month in Langley. “I saw the production in Vancouver back in the early ’90s when (playwright) Lucia Frangione first did it. I was struck by how great it was,� said Faith Toronchuk, producer and director of the play, which will be staged at The Venue on Glover Road from Jan. 17 to 19. “It was funny and endearing— something anyone can relate to,� said Toronchuk.

Holy Mo and Spew Boy is described on its Facebook page as “a romp through the Old Testament, from creation to King Solomon (as) three fools endeavor to shake the dust off of ancient tales and bring a cast of thousands to life.�

Follie — played by ChellÊ Tanner — tries to keep the stories going — what she can remember of them — while Guff (Yukari Komatsu) throws dinosaurs into Genesis and Bufoona (Alison Johnston) demands to play a princess instead of King David.

Although Frangione’s play is based on stories from the Bible and the theatre space is rented from the Friends of Langley Vineyard church, Toronchuk is confident that the production will appeal to broad

From left: Yukari Komatsu, ChellĂŠ Tanner and Alison Johnston will perform as a ‘cast of thousands’ in Imagine That’s upcoming production of Holy Mo and Spew Boy, Jan. 17-19 at the Venue at 5708 Glover Rd. Tickets are $15, available through ImagineThatPlace.com. audience. “You don’t need to have a particular set of beliefs (to enjoy it),â€? she said.

And since the script works on a number of levels, it will play equally well to all ages, she added, noting that children who have sat in on rehearsals have been enthralled by the action unfolding on stage.

Holy Mo and Spew Boy is an ambitious production, which finds each actor playing a seemingly endless list of characters.

With the quick addition or removal of a costume piece or simply by moving around

a curtain, the trio of actors suddenly become different characters with a different voices, Toronchuk explained. “We’ve been having just a blast doing it.

It’s very demanding,� she said. “It’s unique and wonderful.�

Johnston was handpicked by Toronchuk to join the production, while both Tanner and Komatsu are professional actors, who have been on board with the director since the idea first came up. They had planned to mount the show five years ago but, for a variety of reasons, it didn’t work out.

“It’s been on the back burner,� Toronchuk said. Then, last year Tanner and Komatsu approached Toronchuk and told her, if she was still considering doing Holy Mo, “now would be the time.�

With her actors in place, Toronchuk is enjoying watching how each woman approaches her role — but taking a somewhat hands-off approach herself. “It’s fun to release a lot of the creative direction to the cast,� she said. “I think it’s my job to see what an actor can bring to a role and work with that,� she said. “It’s not my job to mould the actors.�

Toronchuk, who has been directing live theatre for 30 years, got her start in Grande Prairie, in northwestern Alberta, where residents embraced their small amateur theatre company. “It’s a semi-isolated place. Community theatre is alive and thriving because it’s so far away from the big cities,� she said.

She’s confident the same will hold true in Langley, where there are more opportunities for audiences to attend live theatre both at the local, amateur level or travel into Vancouver to see bigger professional shows.

Although The Venue, at 5708 Glover Rd., can seat more than 300 — which Toronchuk expects will be the case when a production of The Hobbit is staged in February — Holy Mo and Spew Boy, will play four times over three days to more intimate audiences of between 80 and 90 seats.

Ample free parking available behind the theatre in a lot which can be accessed by a lane off Logan Avenue. The theatre is also wheelchair accessible.

Tickets for the Jan. 17 to 19 performances are $15 and are available through the ImagineThatPlace.com website or from cast members.

GVHBA ready for exciting, busy year ahead

By Kerry Vital

As 2014 begins, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is looking forward to some exciting events.

On Feb. 5, the GVHBA will hold its Legends of Housing event in Burnaby, featuring Morningstar Homes Partner Dale Barron, Bosa Development Vice-President of Development Eric Martin and former President and Director of British Pacific Properties Ltd. Jim McLean. It will be moderated by

Ledingham McAllister President Ward McAllister.

The BC Home + Garden Show will take place Feb. 19 to 23, and will feature the GVHBA Renovation Gallery, a 1,000-square-foot space featuring before-and-after photos of professionally renovated projects as well as free consultations with RenoMark renovators, designers, subtrades and suppliers.

You’ll also find the HGTV Main Stage, with appearances from experts such as Bryan Baeumler, Mike Holmes Jr. and Sherry Holmes and Janette Ewen.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

March will bring the 20th annual First-Time Home Buyers Seminar, taking place at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey.

“Our experts will help first-time buyers consider all available options and important issues before they take that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Real estate continues to be a hot topic in this region, so seminar attendance is expected to be as many or greater than the 750 young people who attended last year’s event.”

A panel of experts will discuss a variety of topics, including the best location, what home type is best matched to wants, needs and financial resources, and legal considerations.

Exhibitors will also be available beforehand to answer any questions and provide information to attendees.

Pre-registration is required; you can register online or call 778-565-4288 Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Attendees are asked to bring a food item for the Surrey Food Bank.

The views from Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain are truly spectacular, below, and Morningstar Homes is taking advantage of this with their view homes at Partington. With all the gorgeous features of Partington plus the amazing scenery, the homes are second-to-none.

Taking in the view on Burke Mountain

By Kerry Vital

Morningstar Homes continues to impress with their latest release of amazing View Homes, an extension of Partington on Burke Mountain that combine beautiful homes and a view that’s second-to-none.

“This is a really special offering,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “There is a limited quantity of view homes available on Burke Mountain and they are in high demand.”

The spectacular homes include all of the

gorgeous features of Partington, while also including some of the most beautiful views in the Lower Mainland.

“It’s like being on top of the world,” says Calahan. “Our Partington homes were designed with incredible views in mind by making the windows the focal point of each home. We could not pass up the opportunity to show them off.”

The four-bedroom homes at Partington are available in three different open-plan floorplans, ranging from 3,700 to 3,900 square feet. All of them include an unfinished basement and a large private yard with patio or deck. The kitchens are truly huge, with granite islands, stainless-steel appliances and tons of counter space. Hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas complements the 19-foot vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling linear fireplace.

“These homes are very well laid-out” Calahan says. “There’s a sense of grandeur here. People are noting the ‘wow’ of the house; it takes your breath away.”

Partington is perfectly located for homeowners to live the Burke Mountain lifestyle. The neighbourhood has been growing over the years and now includes schools, parks and trails. It is also just a short drive to Coquitlam Town Centre for shopping, dining and transit. You can also find leisure and recreation activities nearby.

Partington joins Morningstar’s seven previous projects on Burke Mountain, including Belmont, Avondale and Kingston.

“We always strive to be innovative and offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan.

“We never tire of trying to better our designs, with each new project being given its own consideration.”

Morningstar was the first developer on Burke Mountain, and Calahan says that they’ve been welcomed with every project they build. She has increasingly seen friends and family members of other Morningstar buyers looking to purchase their own home.

Every home at Partington has been selling well, with Calahan noting she is releasing

more lots for sale this weekend.

“Demand is high for a quality product by a trustworthy builder with an outstanding view.

We’re selling them faster than I can release them!” she adds with pride “The Morningstar brand is becoming a household word on Burke.”

View Homes at Partington start at $1.2 million. For more information, check out www.mstarhomes.com, call 604-942-6370 or visit the sales office at 1508 Dayton Street, Coquitlam, open daily (except Friday) between noon and 6 p.m.

Bright&Open Mason&Green by Polygon is the start of something new. With input from homeowners and people like you, we designed a new generation of two and three bedroom townhomes from the parking garage on up. The result is open floorplans with more light, more living space, more storage, a main-floor powder room, and a way of life that feels just right. The result is Mason&Green.

“The holiday season is always a challenging time for people to stay on track with their fitness,” said Dai Manuel, chief operating officer of Fitness Town.

“After all the fun and indulgences, people are often left feeling lethargic, demotivated and defeated. It’s then hard to reboot in January.”

Forty-two per cent of residents from the Metro Vancouver area said they have no plans to set fitness-related resolutions, while 15 per cent admit to making fitness goals they know they will break, according to an Ipsos Reid poll commissioned

by Fitness Town, a Western Canadian fitness equipment supplier.

“When we’re talking to our customers about their fitness training, we encourage them to set up systems where they are accountable in the long-term … people are saying that they’re making resolutions knowing that they’ll likely break them which is ultimately going to demotivate them and hinder their fitness

However, local trends suggest that Langley residents still view the new year as a time for setting fitness goals.

“We definitely have more business come through the store in the first week of January,” said Langley Fitness Town manager Arlen Quashie.

The online poll of 987 Lower Mainland adults also found that Langley residents were most likely to stray from their fitness routines during the holiday season.

A “significant” 42 per cent of Langley residents admit to prioritizing holiday festivities over fitness regimens, compared to 34 per cent of respondents in Metro Vancouver and only 24 per cent in Vancouver.

Langley Fitness Town manager Arlen Quashie says the best way to get in shape at any time of the year is to make a plan and stick to it.

The study found that social distractions and bad weather were the leading reasons for leaving running shoes in the closet, followed by general feelings of laziness and the prioritizing of eating and drinking over the holidays.

Langley residents were also less likely to brave the cold and rain than the rest of their Metro Vancouver counterparts, with 63 per cent of residents — versus 52 per cent overall in Metro Vancouver — claiming to work out at home during the winter months mainly because of bad

However, Quashie says these numbers may be more of a reflection of Vancouver’s limited access to indoor space than local resolve to get fit. “That is an issue in Vancouver that we don’t have in Langley.�

In lieu of New Year’s resolutions that may not be kept, Manuel suggests that starting with enjoyable activities, setting realistic and gradual goals and holding yourself accountable with a fitness app or device, blog or personal trainer can help kick-start personal fitness yearround.

Envision employees pledge $43K Envision Financial employees have reinforced their commitment to making a real difference in the communities they serve by pledging more than $43,000 to local charities and community organizations in 2014.

Causes that will benefit most from Envision Financial’s generosity include The Full Cupboard, an innovative community program designed to raise food, funds and awareness for food banks in the communities where Envision Financial operates, and the Envision Financial Employees Endowment. Employees have committed to regular payroll deductions totaling more than $43,000 over the next 12 months; this is in addition to their regular giving and volunteer programs.

Sarah Golos is one of the many Envision Financial team members who have renewed their pledge to charitable giving because she has seen firsthand how much the funds benefit the recipient organizations and their programs. “I choose to give because of my brother,� explained Golos, whose brother Scott was born

with a rare genetic disease called Fragile X. It gives the 23-year-old, who also has severe autism, the mental capacity of a six or seven-year-old. “Growing up with Scott helped me learn more than any other experience I’ve had in my life.�

I couldn’t be prouder to be part of a team that cares so much about its community.

SELINE KUTAN

Golos’ brother is at the Tillicum Day Centre in Hope, an adult day centre where life skills are taught and clients are integrated into the community through work and volunteerism. “Since Scott started going to Tillicum Day Centre in 2009, his confidence has improved to a level that I never thought was possible.

Most of the renos that have been completed there were completed by their clients. “I personally give back to Tillicum because of the special place it has in my heart. “The improvement to his quality of life and happiness is evident.� Seline Kutan, executive director of the First West Foundation — the charitable branch of Envision Financial that manages the employee giving program — says the generosity from Envision Financial employees is remarkable. “I’m continually amazed by the compassion shown by our team at Envision Financial,� said Kutan. “Forty-three thousand dollars is a significant amount of money that can go a long way in helping our local communities. These funds come directly off employees’ pay cheques each month and I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of a team that cares so much about its community.�

Why Plywood?

The basic case material for cabinets is particle board.

It is an engineered wood manufactured from wood chips, shavings, and sawdust. While particle board is an ideal material for cabinetry, it can swell if moisture comes into direct contact with the particles.

Plywood is stronger and more resistant to chipping and cracking, hold screws fast, as well as being resistant to water damage.

Plywood is usually offered at an upgraded price from particle board but, for a limited time, we’re offering a free upgrade to plywood.

Long-time sports booster Bill Bettles passes away Long-time Langley sports booster William (Bill) Bettles has passed away.

Bettles died on Dec. 26 at the age of 63 at Vancouver General Hospital with his family by his side.

Bettles, a father of three girls, was long involved in

community sports.

During his three years as the Township of Langley’s parks and recreation commissioner, he was instrumental in helping raise funds to develop a lighted park for the Aldergrove Men’s Fastpitch League.

Bettles was also the president of the Aldergrove Ringette Association for five years and in 1988, he started the Lower Mainland Ringette League and served as its first president.

He was also a coach and

administrator with the Langley Girls Fastpitch Association as well as instrumental in helping create the Langley Girls Ice Hockey Association in 1995.

In 2009, Bettles started and served as general manager of the Fraser Val-

ley Avalanche, who played in the National Ringette League.

Bettles also endowed the Fraser Valley Ringette Association’s Michelle Vandale Memorial annual scholarship award.

And in 2011, Bettles was

the recipient of a Community Sport Builder Award from Pacific Sport Fraser Valley for his many accomplishments and contributions to amateur sport.

He is survived by his wife, three daughters and four grandchildren.

Stingy D leads Lumberjacks to win The Langley bantam C2 Lumberjacks chopped down the competition to take the crown at Aldergrove’s bantam C ice hockey tournament over the weekend.

And the Lumberjacks used a stingy defence to do so, surrendering just a pair of goals total over the course of the five games, all of which were victories.

By comparison, the team’s offence was firing on all cylinders, pumping home 33 goals.

In the finals, Langley defeated Whatcom County 5-1 for the gold medals in a battle of two unbeaten teams.

In the semifinals, the Lumberjacks beat the Surrey Flyers 4-1.

The Flyers goal came in the third period and ended Langley’s 11-period shutout streak.

In the round robin, the Lumberjacks beat the Flyers 8-0 and knocked off a pair of Aldergrove

teams, the Bruins 8-0 and the Hitmen 7-0.

•••••• A local peewee hockey team celebrated their own version of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

The Langley Minor Hockey Association peewee Phantoms squad was a perfect 12-for-12 in winning back-to-back tournaments over the holiday break.

The Phantoms won both the Abbotsford Christmas Invitational Tournament and the Chilliwack Peewee Jamboree tournament.

They defeated Coquitlam C2 in the first tournament final and beat the host Chilliwack C3 squad in the other.

••••• In a gold medal rematch from two months ago, this time it was the Kamloops visitors get-

ting their revenge on the Langley A3 Eagles.

Kamloops defeated Langley 4-3 in the championship final of the Langley Minor Hockey Association Shatter the Glass tournament over the weekend at Twin Rinks.

It was the Eagles lone loss in five games at the tournament.

And the two teams had also met in the finals of the Campbell Memorial Bantam B rep hockey tournament back in November, with Langley taking gold in that tournament.

At that event, the Eagles’ Corbin Genge was also awarded $300 which is to be used towards his ice hockey fees for next season. Genge was chosen as the player who best exemplified sportsmanship, commitment and value to one’s team.

Looks Toyota has always been a logical purchase, based on reliability and durability but now its designs too are capturing buyers with a visual, desirable esthetic. The 2014 edition is 7.5cm longer (mostly in the rear seat and cargo area), 1.5cm wider and 3cm lower. The stance is wide and lower, making more of a visual impact.

Drive The previous Highlander was available with a 4-cylinder engine and front wheel drive (FWD). It’s with a standard 3.5L V6 with 270hp, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission, also with FWD. The starting price stays at $31,680; factoring in the backup camera there is good value here.

When it arrives later this month, the base LE with all wheel drive (AWD) starts at $34,180. I think most people will opt for the LE with convenience package that includes 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, satellite radio and leather steering wheel to name a few. This brings the price up to $34,480 for the FWD and $36,980 for the AWD. On the road, the AWD system sends power to just the front wheels as often as possible with only 10 per cent of the torque shifting when cornering.

The system has the ability to shift or lock up to 50 per cent of the power for better traction but limiting it to times

there is 100L of cargo space behind the third row of seats offering much better functionality.

It has all the interior amenities that one expects in a modern three-row crossover, even a system that allows the driver’s voice to be amplified through the stereo for easier conversations with passengers in the very back, but there seems to be a lack of sophistication compared to its competition.

Question

when it is truly needed helps improve fuel economy.

The other part of the fuel economy story is the all-new 6-speed automatic. The official fuel rating for the most popular AWD model is 11.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, which is almost a full litre improvement in combined highway/city economy over the 2013 model. The rear suspension has been modified for a slightly more dynamic drive and improved ride. The steering is rather light and vague but the buyers of this type of product will appreciate the ease of use.

OF THE WEEK:

Verdict The Highlander is a functional vehicle for young buyers with kids and friends that need to get to practice and carry all the sports equipment that goes with it. Overall, a very good family crossover that will get the job done every day.

What do you think is the best special feature available in today’s cars and trucks?

With challenging road conditions across the province, January is always one of the highest months for crashes in B.C. Take some small steps to prepare your vehicle for the conditions, such as checking your tire pressure – tires deflate more quickly in cold weather – and top up your vehicle’s anti-freeze, windshield washer fluid, and gas.

The highs and lows of Driving on a German Autobahn Much motoring mythology surrounds Germany’s speed limitless autobahns.

Many readers who favour an increase in posted limits on our freeways point to the superbly engineered German highways as the example to follow. The latest round of praise follows the recent Insights West poll conducted for Black Press that found 37 per cent back increased limits on routes such as the Coquihalla Highway. And doubtless BC Transportation Minister Todd Stone will hear the same in his review of highway speed limits during the eight regional public forums being held this month.

Hate to be a party pooper but today’s autobahns really don’t live up to their past reputation. They are excellent to drive but if you expect to cruise along at 250 km/h for the duration of a multi-hour journey you will be disappointed. In recent years, I’ve driven thousands of kilometres along high-speed freeways throughout Europe while attending launches for a variety of high-powered cars.

One of the most memorable trips I drove was the 585 kilometres between Munich

Keith Morgan

and Berlin, which I covered in an Audi A6, with a 2.8-litre V6 generating 207 horsepower under the hood. Just like Vancouver, Munich is a thriving city and there’s congestion with a capital C even on the A9 autobahn.

The queues continue even 30 kms outside of the city but it must be said that they move at a uniform speed of 100 km/h!

To say there are no speed limits is inaccurate: I encountered city areas where the maximum was 120 km/h overnight between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. There are also restrictions in motorcycles, large trucks and cars towing trailers.

What I find most interesting was the unwritten rule, which, while it can’t be enforced, if you disobey it and are involved in a collision it may cost you. Say what? – The advisory speed limit under this “rule” is 130 km/h, referred to in German as the Richtgeschwindigkeit. Smash up at a higher speed and you could be found partially responsible due to “increased operating danger”.

Within an hour, I was comfortable with the car and itching to let it go. It seemed to be tugging to the right at one point but that was near the car’s birthplace at Ingolstadt. On the other hand, it could have been a crosswind.

You can only pass another car in the left lane. The right lane is for slower vehicles so you risk a ticket if you pass on the right at any speed.

That threat didn’t seem to worry too many in the approaches to the various urban areas along the way.

As the traffic thinned, I wound up the A6 to 200 km/h for less than a minute and shortly after I managed

to hit 220 km/h but that lasted all of 20 seconds. I managed to do 180 km/h for about three minutes before slowing to 140 for a sustained period of around 20 minutes. Europe is full and nowhere is that more evident than on the roads. I found 120 km/h was more easily achieved for most of the journey and seemed to be more typical a speed for most.

From Munich city limits to Berlin it took me around 5 hours 30 minutes, which means I averaged about 105 Autobahn km/h. Pretty good but not the 200 km/h many think you can do.

There’s the reality check: Generally, I agree that some of our freeways could stand a slight increase in the posted limit, especially in the rural areas where drivers would likely be able to maintain the top speed more easily than on the theoretically speed limitless autobahn.

Drives-U-Crazy It was a Christmas Miracle: that’s all I can put it down to.

Pulled up behind a new sport-ute at a busy intersection, just a second before the light changed green. And predictably that’s when the driver put on his left turn signal.

Then to my absolute amazement, he did exactly what he was supposed to do after failing to signal at the appropriate time. He drove across the intersection and took the next left!

There was a police car behind me so perhaps the errant driver feared a $121 ticket and two penalty points on his license. Not likely.

The Infiniti QX70 maybe a looker but its range of safety equipment is its most attractive feature.

Looks: It’s distinctive Infiniti look should attract many buyers. The projector style headlights flow with the body lines and the fog lights look like they actually belong rather than appear an afterthought as is the case in some of its competitors. The side body lines almost give the appearance of waves moving up the vehicle.

LED rear brake lights and center high mounted stoplight sit atop the rear power lift-gate.

Chrome accents around the windows give it a sense of elegance. The functional side vents on the rear of the front fenders give it a European sporty look and reduce front end tilt by five percent.

In The Cab: The cabin seems large at first, but after climbing in and getting comfortable you realize it is not all that big. Access to the controls is easy as they are well positioned.

I like the navigation screen with 3D mapping and the around view monitor that gives you a bird’s eye view of the vehicle.

An eight-way power driver’s seat with adjustable lumbar support, six-way power front passenger’s seat, 60/40 split folding rear seats that individually fold flat, make for a comfortable ride.

The audio system is a Bose 11 speaker with two subwoofers, AM/ FM/CD with MP3 playback capability and has a speed sensitive volume control. Color monitors are built in to headrests so rear passengers

Honda Crosstour 2010 to 2013 The Honda Crosstour, introduced for the 2010 model year, is a stylish and more versatile hatchback version of its Accord stable mate.

Taller than its sedan counterpart, the Crosstour has more ground clearance, a cavernous cargo area and it’s available in both front-drive and all-wheel-drive editions.

A good vehicle match for an outdoor or active lifestyle owner, Crosstour retains the fuel economy and nice riding virtues of an Accord and adds the flexible storage options and the functionality of a utility vehicle, without the “boxy” design drawback.

Prices seem higher than the sedan because every Crosstour comes with a comparable level of equipment as the EX-L (top-line) edition of the sedan. It also comes with a 3.5-litre V6 engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission (no 4-cylinder 2010 to 2012). Called a J-series engine, this 4-valve/cylinder, and 60-degree V6 also has variable valve timing and it’s built at a Honda engine plant in Anna, Ohio.

A unique feature of this clever engine is its Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system that can seamlessly turn off one bank of cylinders when power demand is light, or transform it into a V4 for medium loads. Max power output is 271 horsepower and 254 ft-lb of torque. Its city/highway fuel economy rating is 11.7/7.2 and the allwheel-drive system adds an extra 0.8 L/100km.

A good vehicle A higher roofline translates into a match for an outdoor significantly more or active lifestyle spacious cabin that provides exra owner. headroom for taller occupants.

Handy release levers Bob McHugh in its rear cargo area allow users to fold-down the rear seats remotely, when extra cargo space is needed. Seat-up cargo volume is 729 litres (25.7 cu-ft) and there’s another 54 litres (1.9 cu-ft) in a large under-floor storage box.

The Crosstour was largely unchanged for the 2011 model year and other than the addition of a standard rearview camera, it was status quo again in 2012. For 2013, changes included a new lower-priced 4-cylinder edition and the V6 engine was coupled with a new 6-speed automatic transmission.

Generally very good occupant protection ratings were marred by an IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) roof crush test, which simulates a rollover. The 2010 Crosstour received a 2.82 strength-to-weight ratio result and a “marginal” rating. Hidden structural changes for the 2013 model year allowed it achieve a 4.62 strength-to-weight ratio result, which is a “good” rating.

Crosstour is nowhere near as popular as the Accord sedan so used offerings for sale may be harder to find. Like the Accord, it does get top owner reliability ratings from Consumer Reports and resale prices also tend to be on the higher side.

Price Check - 2010 - 2013 Honda Crosstour (December 2013) Expect to Pay Today Year Edition 2010 2WD $19,000 to $23,000 2011 2WD $22,000 to $26,000 2012 2WD $26,000 to $30,000 2013 EX-L 2WD $31,000 to $35,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Recalls on the 2010 to 2013 Honda Crosstour: 2010 – A bearing problem inside the automatic transmission may cause an electronic short circuit that causes the engine to stall. Additionally, broken pieces may become lodged in the parking pawl resulting in the vehicle rolling after the driver has placed the gear selector in the Park position. Dealers will update the automatic transmission control module software.

2012 - The side curtain airbag inflators may be faulty and one or both airbags may not deploy as intended. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace one or both side curtain airbag assemblies.

2013 - The fuel tank may have been manufactured incorrectly and could leak fuel. Dealers will replace the fuel tank bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
