Two suspicious fires in Langley City SECOND ‘CONCERNING’ BLAZE IGNITED HALF HOUR AFTER FIRST WAS EXTINGUISHED MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
CURTIS KREKLAU Submitted photo
City fire crews battled a blaze in the downtown business district overnight Tuesday. The fire, which is considered suspicious, consumed a shed and caused smoke damage to surrounding businesses. Around 30 minutes after the fire was put out, crews were called to a second fire in the garbage can of an apartment laundry room. It was extinguished by the time they arrived.
Langley City firefighters were kept busy early Tuesday morning, after two suspicious fires, one torching a storage shed attached to Ashoka Indian restaurant and the other inside an apartment building. Around midnight, firefighters were called to a shed which was fully engulfed in flames, in an alleyway in the 20500 block of Fraser Highway. The shed is attached to the back of the restaurant and used for storage. In total, 19 firefighters battled the blaze, managing to put out the flames before they spread to the attached businesses, said City deputy fire chief Bob Scott. Firefighters cut their way into the restaurant to check if the fire had spread inside. They also ventilated neighbouring businesses. Thirty minutes later, at 12:36 a.m., firefighters were called out to smoke in the third floor hallway of the Berry Road apartments in the 5400 block of 208 Street. Residents had already evacuated the building.
“A garbage can was lit on fire in the laundry room on the third floor,” said Scott. “An occupant in the building used the fire extinguisher to put out the fire before we arrived.” Residents were allowed to go back in and Langley RCMP along with fire investigators are working on both suspicious fires, he said. “These fires are concerning,” Scott. The fire at Ashoka restaurant has forced neighbouring business One Fish Two Fish to close, due to smoke. The popular fresh seafood store will re-open on Saturday. Owner Heather Jenkins said the smoke damage caused her to throw out her entire inventory, including all fresh, frozen and dry goods. Other businesses were also impacted by the smoke. If you have any information or saw anything suspicious around either of these fires call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200, or if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.
Langley’s growth outstripping Surrey’s DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The Township of Langley is growing at a rate of 256 new residents a month, according to the latest population growth statistics released by the provincial government. Langley City is barely growing at all. The annual BC Stats figures, released on Jan. 31, show the Township grew from

109,359 residents in 2012 to 112,440 last year, a growth rate of 2.8 per cent, or an average of 256 new people every month. That is a faster rate of growth than neighbouring Surrey, which experienced a 2.3 per cent increase in population in 2013, breaking the half-million mark to total 504,661. The population of Langley City was essentially unchanged, going from 26,288 in

2012 to 26,301 in 2013. The Township remains the sixth-largest municipality in Metro Vancouver, after Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond and Coquitlam. If Langley Township and City were counted together, they would rise to become the fifth-largest municipality in Metro, with 138,741 people. BC Stats produces its population es-
timates based on indicators like health client registration and residential hydro hook-ups to gauge population growth from one year to the next. The agency report calculated the population of the whole province at 4,581,978. Annual population growth held steady at 0.9 per cent between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013, with just under 39,000 new residents, BC Stats says.

Some WorkSafe evidence from farm tragedy could not be used D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
Some of the evidence uncovered about the death of three men at a Langley mush-
room farm could not be used because WorkSafe BC investigators violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A report by deputy minister to the pre-
L an gley Tim es file ph oto
A-1 Mushroom Substratum Ltd. owners (left to right) Van Thi Troung, her husband Ha Qua Truong and Thinh Huu Doan pleaded guilty to 10 of 29 charges stemming from the deaths of three mushroom farm workers in South Langley in September, 2008. A recent report by deputy minister John Dyble into a 2011 Burns Lake sawmill fire points out that some evidence gathered by WorkSafe BC in the mushroom farm case could not be used in court.
mier John Dyble reveals the WorkSafe investigators who probed the September 2008 A-1 Mushroom Farms deaths ignored a 2002 Supreme Court of Canada decision that ruled anyone who is the target of an investigation that could result in criminal charges has the same rights as someone being questioned by police. That includes the right to have legal counsel present during questioning, the right against self-incrimination and the right to refuse to turn over evidence without a search warrant. If a court finds those rights were violated, the evidence can be excluded at trial. The Dyble report doesn’t specify exactly whose rights were violated during the investigation of the Langley incident that killed three and left two others permanently brain-damaged. When a pipe burst in a shed used to mix gypsum, chicken manure and water, it released toxic levels of hydrogen sulphide gas that killed farmworkers Ut Tran, Han Pham and Jimmy Chan. Two men barely survived. Tchen Phan is unable to speak and Michael Phan was left in a coma. The Dyble report says prosecutors in the Criminal Justice Branch (CJB) determined certain statements obtained by WorkSafe investigators could not be used because they would be declared inadmissible for violating the 2002 Supreme Court ruling. “ … because of the admissibility concerns [the CJB] would make the charge assessment without reference to the statements,” Dyble wrote. The report does not say which statements were excluded, or who made them. Eventually, 29 charges were laid under the Workers Compensation Act and Occupational Health and Safety Regulations
against A-1 Mushroom Substratum Ltd., H.V. Truong Ltd. and four people. The issue of the excluded statements was never raised at trial, because three of the accused pleaded guilty to 10 of 29 charges, including failure to have an occupational health and safety program in place, failure to educate workers about safety, failure to properly supervise workers and failure to make workers aware about confined space hazards. Charges against a fourth person were dropped as part of the plea bargain. A judge imposed fines of $350,000 against Van Thi Truong, Ha Qua Truong, Thinh Huu Doan and the companies they operated — A-1 Mushroom Substratum Ltd. and H.V. Truong Ltd. No jail terms were imposed. The report says a lawyer for WorkSafe tried to convince the prosecutors to use the excluded statements in August of 2010, but the question was “rendered moot” after the guilty pleas were entered in May, 2011. Dyble also says the CJB warned WorkSafe about the need to adjust their investigations to get in line with the Supreme Court requirements about four years before the Langley mushroom farming fatalities occurred, in connection with an unnamed “investigative file from 2004.” The information about the mushroom farm case was included as background in Dyble’s review of the WorkSafe investigation into the January 2012 Babine mill explosion in Burns Lake that killed two people. In that case, no criminal charges were laid by the CJB because, Dyble said, the WorkSafe investigators failed to abide by the Charter restrictions imposed in 2002. - with files from Black Press
Three heritage plaques given out in Langley Township A Langley blacksmith shop that became a chocolate factory and then a school, a landmark Aldergrove house and a Fort Langley business block with a distinctive rounded roofline were awarded heritage plaques Monday afternoon, on National Heritage Day. Langley Township council presented
Community Heritage Register Plaques to the owners of the Murrayville Garage, the James Shortreed residence and the Coronation block. “It is the perfect time to recognize our heritage buildings and historic places, and the people who work so hard to ensure they continue to enrich our community,”
Mayor Jack Froese said. Rick Kirby, Chair of the West Coast Montessori Society, was recognized for converting a turn of the century blacksmith shop into a school. Located on Old Yale Road west of Five Corners, the Murrayville Garage was built in the early 1900s as a blacksmith shop
and carriage works. Then it became a service station and an International Harvester farm machinery dealership until the 1950s. It remained a service station into the 1980s. It even served as a chocolate factory before the West Coast Montessori Society Continued Page 6

LAPS sells cupcakes for kittens SHELTER HOPES SWEET IDEA WILL RAISE $12,000
MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Cupcakes and kittens. Put these sweet things together and you have Langley Animal Protection Society’s latest fundraiser. The Langley animal shelter is asking people who love animals to host a cupcake day on Feb. 24 with proceeds going to help the local animals in need. The idea has already taken off with more than 15 groups pledging to bake the yummy icing topped goodies and raise $7,000. Shelter manager Sean Baker is hoping this new initiative will help raise around $12,000 for the shelter. He is hoping for 30 people to register. Already, LAPS was selling cupcakes at their weekend adoption event at the Abbotsford PetSmart and will be selling cupcakes at the shelter on Feb. 24. The municipally-run shelter has been on the forefront of unique fundraising initiatives to help pay for the costs of taking in abandoned and injured cats and dogs. It is costly for vet bills, daily care, training, food and medications. In 2013, the shelter helped 814 dogs, 345 cats and 70 livestock animals. They also provided 200 free spay and neuter vouchers to low income cat owners. Just recently, with help from web tech savvy shelter volunteer

Beating the odds of addiction LANGLEY MAN STILL FIGHTS THE URGE TO GAMBLE AFTER 13 YEARS IN RECOVERY MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
At the height of his gambling addiction, “Gus” was going to the casino seven days a week. His wife had left him because of his gambling, he had lost his job, drained his bank accounts and he was suicidal. A Langley resident, Gus (not his real name) had hit rock bottom. This was in 2000 before the BC Lottery Corporation started funding counselling for problem gamblers and putting up yellow stickers and signage advertising their Problem Gambling Help Line. So in his darkest hour, after four years of uncontrollable gambling, during which he lost more than $100,000 to the casinos, 40-yearold Gus went to Gamblers Anonymous and to his family doctor for help. More than a year later, in 2001, the government began its free counselling services for gambling addicts. “I was one of their first clients,” said Gus. He credits his counsellors for helping him to stay away from gambling for 13 years. Despite the length of time, he still fights the urge to gamble every day. He was able to access free oneon-one and couples counselling. His marriage ended anyway. And instead of relapsing, when the urge was too great, he has since called the help line again to get him back into sessions, he said. Gus is speaking about his experience as part of BCLC’s Responsible Gambling awareness campaign which took place two weeks ago in Langley, with info kiosks set up at Willowbrook Shopping Centre and other locations. He volunteered to speak to people about the dangers of gambling. For Gus, it started with a visit to a King George Highway casino with friends. It was all for fun then. “It got more serious. I didn’t want to go with friends anymore. I won in the beginning and it was the thrill of it. It has never been about the money,” he said. Soon, the first thing he thought about in the morning was getting to the casino. He remembers using the bank machine at 11:30 p.m. and then again at midnight, because then

A gambling addiction destroyed ‘Gus’s’ finances and cost him his job and his marriage. But the Langley man is crediting the BCLC’s Problem Gambling Help Line for helping him to get his life back on track. it was a new day and he could get more money. He said it’s pretty easy to spot problem gamblers. Addicts will sit at a table for a long time, and they don’t socialize. He said he would mostly sit at the $25 tables just so he could avoid the casual players. He would take as many as four to six squares at a time. One time, he was caught stealing with $5,000 cash in his pocket. All of it was going back to the blackjack table where he was convinced he could make that big win. Gus’ addiction has ruined him financially. At his worst, he had maxed out all his credit cards, cheated people out of money, cashed in his RRSPs and spent his pension. The credit card companies extended his limits and then came to collect. “For me it won’t be Freedom 55, it will be Freedom 99,” he said. It’s an ugly addiction that is hurting a lot of British Columbians, he said. For that reason, Gus has a message for the government. “The government is more addicted to gambling than the gam-
blers,” he said. GOVERNMENT ADDICTED TO GAMBLING? Under the Liberals, the provincial government has approved the opening of more casinos in the past 15 years than ever before, with the allowable number of tables expanded, and slots installed at Fraser Downs racetrack and at several bingo halls. In fact, the increase in gaming is around 210 per cent in a decade, according to a provincial health report put out in 2013. A new casino just opened in Maple Ridge and a very large one is being proposed for Vancouver. The windfall for the government is around $2 billion a year. Since the opening of the Cascades Casino in 2005, Langley City (which gets 10 per cent of the net profits) has made $53 million in revenue. The number of severely addicted gamblers in B.C. has more than doubled, said provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall in October. After reviewing data from 2002 to 2007, he said the number of gamblers has skyrocketed from around

13,000 to 31,000. A Langley woman, Joyce Ross, is currently suing the BC Lottery Corporation and Cascades Casino in connection with her gambling addiction. Her notice of claim says that she lost $331,000 at Cascades and Fraser Downs after she signed a three-year contract essentially banning her from all casinos through BCLC’s self-exclusion program. She claims no one stopped her from gambling after the exclusion. In 2008, a Langley woman embezzled more than $500,000 from her employer, the Langley Envision Credit Union, to foster her gambling addiction. Angela Keatley was fired and convicted criminally. Gus suggests that for every time the government shows a Lotto 6/49 commercial or casino commercial, they show two commercials showing the dangers of gambling. There are no easy answers though, when someone is in the grip of their addiction, he said. “You have to want to stop. You can’t force someone to get help,” he said.
But unlike at a bar, where a bartender can cut you off, no staff at a casino will stop a gambler from playing. “On a Wednesday morning at the end of the month, go and watch, there are all the seniors and those on social assistance who give all they have to a casino. “It’s sad,” he said. Kuldip Gill, a prevention specialist and clinical counsellor who works with gamblers who call the help line, said the number of “pathological” gamblers is low, but for those people, the addiction has an intense grip and they find themselves in a desperate place. She was recently in Langley doing some awareness campaigns about gambling. She tries to speak everywhere that will have her, and do some myth busting. “Especially young people who have watched movies about counting cards and really believe there are certain strategies to winning. There aren’t,” she said. She has been working with gamblers since 2007. She admits that they hope to reach more clients than are calling for help. It’s pretty amazing that the services offered to problem gamblers are free and without a wait list, she adds. Once someone has called the help line, they are put in touch with a counsellor in their area. They can also access support groups and day treatments. Gill said less than five per cent of the population develops a gambling addiction. Gus said that may be so, but he believes at least 50 per cent of those inside a casino have a high risk to be addicted. GAMBLING MYTHS: • Certain slot machines pay out better than others • Lucky numbers work or that luck exists • Strategies on how to play a game will better my chances • Card counting works Responsible Gambling kiosks will be set up throughout Richmond from Feb. 16 to 22. The B.C. Problem Gambling Help Line (1-888-795-6111) is available 24/7 for free, confidential advice and support for all British Columbians.

transformed it into the Langley Montessori School. Another plaque was presented to Breanna Statler and Derek Crowie for restoring and repairing the James Shortreed residence. Built in the 1920s with material produced in local mills, the wood frame house with corner porches and cross-gabled roof was originally located on 26B Avenue, then moved to 272A Street. Coronation block owner Suzanne Northcott was recognized for restoring the commercial building with the unique rounded roof in Fort Langley. Built on Glover Road in 1911, it was named in reference to the crowning of King George V of Great Britain, who ascended to the throne in 1910.
It was designed by Charles Edward Hope, one of the few trained architects working in Vancouver after the city’s Great Fire, who produced his finest architectural designs in Fort Langley, including his family’s estate home. All three of the recognized projects were also supported by the Heritage Building Incentive Program, which assists with the cost of restoring, repairing, and maintaining eligible heritage buildings. Grants are available to property owners of heritage buildings included in the Township’s Inventory of Heritage Resources. The next deadline for the grant program is Friday, Feb. 28.

Temporary parking turned down D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
An attempt at a temporary solution to the Yorkson parking crisis failed to win enough support at Langley Township council Monday afternoon, with a majority saying installing, then removing temporary spaces would only upset residents even more. Councillor Kim Richter supported the option, proposed in a Feb. 3 staff report to council, of installing 12 temporary parking spots at the corner of 212 Street and 80 Avenue at a cost of $50,000. Richter said six should be for residents, six for visitors. “There is an immediate need for more parking,” Richter said. “I don’t think we have any options.” Other members of council were against the temporary spaces because they will only have to be removed when work on a planned four-lane arterial road is done. That will only upset residents, Councillor Bev Dornan said. “You’re taking it away,” Dornan said. “This temporary solution is no solution,” said Councillor Michelle Sparrow. “People are going to get accustomed to parking there,” Sparrow warned. Councillor Charlie Fox said the lack of parking is a result of two factors; people using their

Langley Township Councillor Kim Richter failed to convince other councillors to allow temporary parking in the Yorkson area. garages for storage instead of parking and renting out space to tenants when they aren’t supposed to. “I know there are illegal suites,” Fox said. Councillor Bob Long favoured time limits on street parking instead of installing parking spaces that would be removed at some future date. “I don’t think it’s going to work,” Long said. “I don’t agree with any of it.” A majority voted down the temporary parking after hearing Township staff are conducting a survey of the parking situation in Yorkson. The survey
will look at the impact of secondary suites. “Staff will be undertaking a review of best practices and alternatives to address this concern,” an earlier memo from the Township engineering division said. Over the holidays, following complaints from residents about a shortage of available parking, Township council agreed to allow vehicles in the no-parking areas of 80 Avenue, so that visitors would not be forced to park several blocks away. But the ban has been re-imposed.

It’s ‘hold the line’

The 2014-15 provincial budget offers little in the way of new programs or directions for the provincial government. It focuses on running a small surplus, while holding the line on spending. Taxes for smokers are going up, which when coupled with recent federal tax increases, add up to almost 75 cents per pack of cigarettes. Once again, the province is hitting up people to pay more towards the cost of the health care system. Medical Service Plan premiums will rise another four per cent. B.C. remains the only province where residents pay directly towards health care, in addition to the amount they pay through general taxation. What is surprising is the “hold the line” approach on education spending. When coupled with the province’s stinging loss of a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court and ongoing negotiations with the B.C. Teachers Federation, the budget will make an accommodation with teachers almost impossible to achieve. A hint as to the tax structure to be applied to liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants is offered in the budget, but this seems to be just an opening step in negotiations, given that B.C. is competing with other jurisdictions for this business.

Going against current they
T.J. Oshie slammed home four shootout goals in an Olympic men’s hockey game against Russia. The word I kept thinking of was shortsighted. The Russian players, Ilya Kovalchuk, Evgeni Malkin, Alex Ovechkin and Pavel Datsyuk, get dogged simply because they were born on the other side, tucked away in a former Cold War enemy’s territory. Oh no, they don’t wanna play in the NHL anymore? They entertained the idea of fleeing New Jersey or Washington or Detroit for Moscow or St. Petersburg? We think they should love their jobs, that because they’re Russians, they’re cocky and selfish and they lack loyalty. Isn’t that why the NHL is neutering its greatest international showcase, the tournament that, every four years, gives the world a glimpse at Earth’s greatest, fastest game? But it could be over from now on, for all of them. They’ll all be left out of the party, because there’s a good chance — basically a certainty — that this is the last Olympics we’ll see NHLers in the Games. Korea in 2018 will be distinctly different. Its hockey tournament won’t be a grab bag of once-in-a-generational talent like it is now. The NHL and its owners are selfish and stupid. Because any owner of any franchise could see that T.J. Oshie just sold as many jerseys as he added Twitter followers. In Pittsburgh, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Chris Kunitz, and Paul Martin all have a chance to elevate their profiles into a new stratosphere. There’s a reason hockey is still — and will for a long time be — fourth fiddle in North America. There’s a reason its stars are nothing next to names like Ronaldo or Messi or Ibrahimovic. Hockey is small time and it keeps itself that way. Its owners can’t stand the idea of a three-week recess, because they can’t stand the idea of even one dollar staying on the other side of the door. The Olympics are the greatest two weeks of hockey in the world. And all around the United States, franchises tread water in the NHL, living off what they can make while they’re good, dreading the day they might fall off a cliff again. And the owners win. They have rigged the game, and they don’t want to give it up. They win because they have a monopoly and they’re terrified that the KHL, the European leagues, or the Olympics might whittle it away. Imagine that, a bunch of capitalists afraid of a little competition. With a short memory, they forget what the game was like before 1998 — before the NHL’s first Olympics — when hockey was a laughing stock, when the game couldn’t sell out an American bar, never mind University of Michigan Stadium, or Dodger Stadium, or Yankee Stadium . . . twice. And so they beat on, boats against the current. Borne back ceaselessly into the past. — Kolby Solinsky, Black Press

Crown corporation bonuses lead to fewer services Editor: B.C. residents have become slaves to Crown corporations, which pay excessively high salaries and award millions of dollars in bonuses to employees. All of these are funded by taxpayers. Shouldn’t our tax dollars be used for expenditures in which all B.C. residents benefit? In particular, the Port Mann bridge and Highway 1 upgrade, which have both been lumped into the bridge tolls, could be paid for from general revenue — just as the Sea to Sky Highway and Alex Fraser Bridge have been. Tolls on the Port Mann are creating a hardship for those living south of the Fraser River, as they are carrying the burden of payment for much-needed improvements to B.C. highway infrastructure. Rather than putting the burden on a few motorists, why not include all who file income tax returns in this province? A small percentage of tax would pay for highway and bridge improvements, and allow the elimination of TReO, the agency which collects the tolls and is an unnecessary bureaucracy. Bonuses to Crown corporation employees are simply overcharged premiums, and deny benefits to clients. This money does not belong to these employees. Bonuses should be eliminated, and the exorbitant salaries of some of those employed by Crown corporations need to be reduced. Bonuses should not be awarded for doing one’s job, let alone mismanaging and incurring debt. In the case of TransLink, 141 employees collected six-figure salaries in 2012. BC Ferries paid out big bonuses to senior executives. This is while the corporation announced that ridership is at a 21-year low. ICBC pays its executives high salaries and bonuses, and also pays out bonuses to employees. Yet ICBC consistently blames rising third-party liability claims for rising insurance rates. As long as ICBC pays its employees bonuses, employees will continue to put their own financial interests above those of claimants. In 2012, ICBC unionized workers received average bonuses of $1,645, while its 852 managers received an average of $13,800 each. WorkSafe BC is also paying its employees bonuses. In 2011, it realized a saving of $12.8 million, of which $3.2 million was distributed to unionized employees. The obvious conclusion is that claims are denied so that employees and executives can get bigger bonuses. U.S. President John F. Kennedy had it right — “Don’t ask what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” E. MASON, LANGLEY
Parking should not be free Editor: Re: How was I to pay for parking? (The Times, Feb. 13.) While I 100 per cent sympathize with this mother, as I have a young son of my own and can’t imagine stopping to pay for ER parking if he were both bleeding and vomiting, I do see the need for the Langley hospital, and any hospital, to have pay parking both in the ER and general parking lots. Can you imagine if the ER parking was free, but the general parking had a fee? There would never be an open spot in the ER parking. And while the hospital could post signs indicating the ER parking is for emergency patients only, how could they possibly police this and ensure the free spots were being used in good faith? I support the idea of some leni-
ency (i.e. no ticket) if the user had initially paid for parking but the parking had lapsed. Things are beyond one’s control in the ER, but I do see the need for pay parking. It is definitely unfortunate though that the ticket price is so high, as $80 does seem a bit steep given the location of the lot and the obvious reason why someone would have failed to pay or gone over their time. Perhaps the hospital could look at a reduction in the cost of the fines? G. LONG, LANGLEY Editor’s note — Fraser Health Authority has said it will refund the amount of the fine to the letter writer.
Driver had plenty of chance to stop Editor: I saw the pickup slow as the family of raccoons crossed Fraser Highway. Imagine my shock when I saw one raccoon come rolling out from under the truck, while another ran for its life, right in front of my van. I managed to miss it, but when I went back, its sister lay dead on the road. I don’t know what happened to the third one. Were you in such a hurry that you couldn’t
wait for those animals to get across safely? The road on the other side was clear. I was the only one behind you. I know you saw them. I know you could have stopped. We have seen this family of raccoons before, and now there is one less. Shame on you. BRIAN WEBSTER, LANGLEY
Money available for gas companies Editor: Education Minister Peter Fassbender has stated $1 billion would be needed to restore teacher-pupil class ratios to 2002 levels, and there’s insufficient funding in our budget to pay teachers, when he announced the provincial government’s appeal of Judge Susan Griffin’s decision. Yet there’s nothing in the Charter of Rights, or gas company contracts, that says our BC Liberals had to refund gas companies $116 million in 2013, and a total of $840 million since 2004. These royalty refunds, over roughly the same time frame, are a glaring example of government priorities. The Infrastructure Royalty Credits Program refunds industry up to half the cost of access roads and pipe-
line construction. Check the program at this government site: www.empr.gov.bc.ca/og/oilandgas/royalties/infdevcredit/pages/default.aspx On the other hand, the Charter does guarantee that governments bargain in good faith with public employees. Given the gift of $840 million back to gas companies, I cannot accept Fassbender’s budgetary reasons for violating the Charter and going to court a third time. Contracts must be respected and honoured by our elected government representatives, and especially by our premier and cabinet ministers. LARRI WOODROW, LANGLEY
Prohibition — gateway drug policy Editor: Regarding Tom Fletcher’s Feb. 13 column in The Times, not only should medical marijuana be made available to patients in need, but adult recreational use should be regulated too. Drug policies modeled after alcohol prohibition have given rise to a youth-oriented black market. Illegal drug dealers don’t ID for age. So much for protecting the children. Throwing more money at the problem is no solution. Attempts to limit the supply of illegal drugs while demand remains constant only increase the profitability of drug trafficking. For addictive drugs like heroin, a spike in street prices
leads desperate addicts to increase criminal activity to feed desperate habits. The drug war doesn’t fight crime, it fuels crime. Taxing and regulating marijuana, the most popular illicit drug, is a cost-effective alternative to never-ending drug war failure. As long as marijuana distribution is controlled by organized crime, consumers will continue to come into contact with hard drugs like methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin. Marijuana prohibition is a gateway drug policy. ROBERT SHARPE, POLICY ANALYST, COMMON SENSE FOR DRUG POLICY, WASHINGTON, D.C.

perintendents who have to keep B.C.’s war-weary public schools running. In Surrey, returning to 2002 conditions would add $40 million to the district payroll in year one. That’s one of 60 school districts. The government’s submission includes affidavits from superintendents around the province on its likely impact. Here’s a partial list: Cancellation of specialty programs for vulnerable youth, construction of portables to meet arbitrary class size restrictions, transfer of some students to other schools, closure of daycare and Strong Start preschool programs to free up space reallocated over the years, layoff of non-teaching staff, and cancellation of school participation in the international student program. Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have begun to push back against the conspiracy theory that has taken hold, pointing out that when the BCTF finally
did get permission to strike, the cabinet of the day acted to prevent it. Here’s a recap. In late February 2012, nearly 28,000 teachers (90 per cent) voted to go to the full strike allowed by the LRB. The government tabled legislation to impose a cooling-off period with provision for steep fines on the union for any further strike action, and appointed a mediator. This kept schools open, and eventually yielded a two-year deal. In April 2012, the union voted to withdraw all volunteer work by teachers. By this time they had been ordered by the LRB to prepare second-term report cards, in part so students would know if they could apply for post-secondary studies. Once again this mess is before the court of appeal. Perhaps there will be better recognition of the real world this time around.

Langley resident Jason Manning plans to cycle around the world to raise money for clean water. The lifeguard and swimming instructor left for Japan on Tuesday.
A 23-year-old Langley man wants to raise $30,000 for clean water by cycling around the world. Jason Manning, a lifeguard and swimming instructor with the Township of Langley, left for Japan on Tuesday, Feb. 18. He expects to spend about a year cycling 30,000 kilometres through Asia, Europe and Canada to raise money for the nonprofit Water For People, an international group that campaigns
for clean water in poor countries. “I’m doing this because I’ve always loved traveling and cycling, and I want to raise money and awareness for a cause that’s close to my heart,” Manning said in a letter to Langley Township council. “My goal is to raise one dollar for every kilometre I pedal.” Water For People estimates 783 million people around the world do not have access to safe drinking water and 2.5 billion are without adequate sanitation facilities.

Lowdermilk returns to farming roots with Frugie Beef GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
last year. And a few years ago, Lowdermilk and his wife Susan began preparing for life after hockey. “I pulled out this book she had given to each of us kids before she passed, a book of our life,” he explained. “Going through it, looking at all the pictures of me as a kid, up until I was 10 years old, were just animals and I,” said Lowdermilk, who turned 56 last month. “When I got to 13, it was animals and trophies, and then everything just became trophies.” Looking back through the book, he realized just how much he loved farming and the Lowdermilks prepared for their next phase. “We have done the hockey passion, that has been part of my life since I was six years old,” Lowdermilk said. “And we decided we would raise healthy,
When the time came for Dwayne Lowdermilk to examine the next chapter in his life, it was a glimpse into the past that showed him his future. Lowdermilk was flipping through a scrapbook his late mother, Hjordies, had put together chronicling her son’s life. The book contained things like newspaper clippings, report cards and old photos, and she made one for each of her children. There were two themes in the book: sports and life on a farm. Lowdermilk loved growing up on the family farm in Burnaby. When he was 15, he came to Langley to play junior A hockey with the Lords. Eventually, he worked his way through the ranks of junior hockey and was an NHL draft pick in 1978 by the New York Islanders. Lowdermilk primarily played in the minor leagues but did suit up in a pair of NHL games with the Washington Capitals in the 1980-81 season. He retired from pro hockey in 1982. But hockey has long remained in his life as a coach and building and running ice rinks around town. He was also involved with the junior B Aldergrove Kodiaks and then in 2009, took over the hockey program at Trinity Western University. He held that role until
happy cattle. “This was just like a flash of all the memories of how my dad (Ken) farmed,” he said. “It was all about using the land to the best of its abilities and giving back.” The Lowdermilks, who live on a Fort Langley farm, have launched their own business, Frugie Beef. Frugie beef is a specialty beef that does not use hormones, antibiotics or growth steroids. The cattle is raised on fruits and vegetables which creates a natural cleansing process. The feeding process cleanses the beef and makes the meat tender and leaner. “We marinate our beef from the inside out,” Lowdermilk said. He said that this has a direct effect on people with allergies who have been able to eat their product with no symptoms. Frugie Beef has a herd of 18 and they typi-

A press release issued by Maple Leaf said the sale will allow the Canadian company to focus on its packaged meats business. The $72 per common share that Canada Bread shareholders will get is 31 per cent above the company’s closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange of $61.25 on October 18, 2013, the day before Maple Leaf announced it was exploring “strategic alternatives for its bakery business.� The deal still requires the approval of at least two-thirds of Canada Bread shareholders at a special meeting expected to take place in early April.

Jessica Hewitt has helped Canada win the silver medal in the 3,000m short track speed skating event at the Olympic Games in Sochi. Hewitt and her Canadian relay team actually crossed the finish line in third place in Tuesday’s race but were bumped up a spot on the podium after the Chinese team was disqualified. The Canadian team consists of Marie-Eve Drolet, Hewitt, Valerie Matltais and Marianne St-Gelais. Canada finished in a time of 4:10.641 while South Korea crossed the finish line in 4:09.498. Italy wound up with the bronze medal. The 27-year-old Hewitt was born in Langley but grew up in Kamloops after moving to the Interior when she was seven years old. It was in Kamloops she took up speed skating and this is her first Olympic experience. She also skated in the 500m short track event in Sochi last week, advancing to the quarter-final, but a crash in that race cost her a chance to move on. Both Hewitt’s parents, Gary and Shelley, her mom’s boyfriend, Hewitt’s boyfriend and his sister were scheduled to be in Sochi cheering her on.

Stealth deliver opposite performances OFFENCE ERUPTS IN FIRST GAME BUT FALLS FLAT IN SECOND G A RY AHUJA Times Sports
Abbotsford Arts Centre
One night after putting on a dominant offensive display to snap a five-game losing streak, the Vancouver Stealth were unable to build off of that success. The Stealth scored a season-high in goals in a 19-9 rout of the host Colorado Mammoth on Friday night at Denver’s Pepsi Center. But playing the next night in Calgary at the Scotiabank Saddledome, the roles were reversed and it was Vancouver getting routed by 20-9 score. The results leave the Stealth with a 3-7 record, one game back of the 4-6 Mammoth for the final playoff spot in the National Lacrosse League’s West division. “Obviously it is a tough turnaround when you are playing back-to-backs on the road,” said Stealth coach Chris Hall. The team left Denver on Saturday morning and didn’t arrive at their hotel in Calgary

until an hour before the bus left for the arena. “We played a tough, emotional game against the Mammoth, a game we had to win virtually,” he said. And the Stealth received some bad news shortly before game time as captain Kyle Sorenson was ruled because of injury. Even still, Vancouver was in the game in the first half, trailing 7-5. But after Vancouver missed on a glorious scoring chance of their own, Calgary benefited from a bad bounce to score before the buzzer to take an 8-5 lead. “It was a momentum-shifting goal and pretty deflating for us,” Hall admitted. The Roughnecks then scored three goals in a 27-second span early in the third quarter and it was game, set, match. “The wheels came off and there was not much we could do to stem the tide,” Hall said. “That is still no excuse to get beat by 11 goals.

find a way to hang in.” Calgary led 14-7 after the third quarter and then tacked on six more in the fourth to win 20-9. One bright spot over the weekend was the play of Brett Bucktooth for the Stealth. Bucktooth returned the previous weekend after off-season sports hernia surgery and he was dominant against Colorado, scoring six goals and setting up six others. He scored on six of his nine shots. He combined with Rhys Duch (four goals, seven assists) for a whopping 23 points. Cliff Smith (three goals, five assists) and Tyler Digby (one goal, five assists) also had big games. Bucktooth added another three goals and one assist in the loss while Lewis Ratcliff had two goals and a helper. Bucktooth, who was named the league’s first star of the week, is up to sixth in team scoring with 18 points in three games.

“Friday night was great because it was probably the first time in the season we had pretty much a full lineup of all our guns available and we had a great performance,” Hall said. “We have been waiting a long time for Brett to get back in our lineup. He is a calming influence on our offence …. and really adds another dimension on our right-side with Digby and Duch.” The team now gets a much-needed break as they are off until March 8 when they visit the undefeated Edmonton Rush (7-0). That is followed by five home dates at the Langley Events Centre in their final seven games, and just one set of back-to-back games. “We probably need a break right now,” Hall said. “We are going to have to work hard to give ourselves a shot to get into the playoffs here. “It is not going to be easy, but we have a shot.”

Spartans through to final four The Trinity Western Spartans are one victory away from a fourth-straight trip to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships.
The Spartans women’s volleyball won their best-of-three quarter-final series last week against the Regina Cougars 2-0, winning both matches in

straight sets. The games were played at the Langley Events Centre on Feb. 13 and 14 and earn the Spartans a spot in this week’s Canada West Final Four championships. “I have a lot of respect for that Regina team,” said Trinity Western coach Ryan Hofer. “They have some talented players but we just needed to play our game tonight and we did that.” Hofer said the key was for his team to serve and pass well, and they did so in both aspects. “And then we just wanted to make smart decisions with our attacks,” he added. The Spartans used a dominating serving effort on both nights combining for 20 aces over the two games. They won 3-0 (25-19,25-16,2520) the first night and 3-0 (2516,25-16,25-19) the second to complete the sweep. Royal Richardson had five aces each night while Sophie Carpentier had a combined 26 kills to go along with her three aces. Alicia Perrin finished with 17 kills and 13 blocks and Kristen Moncks had 18 digs. ••••• UBC’s War Memorial Gymnasium will be the site of the Canada West Final Four championships on Friday and Saturday (Feb. 21 and 22) with the top three teams advancing to nationals in Regina. The Spartans (17-5) face Manitoba (14-8) in one semifinal while UBC (18-4) faces UBC-Okanagan (12-10) in the other.
The Trinity Western Spartans lost just two matches all season, but one of the squads which handed them a defeat is all that stands in Spartans way of a spot at the national championships. The Spartans men’s volleyball team is the top seed for the Canada West Final Four championships, which will be held Friday and Saturday (Feb. 21 and 22) at the Langley Events Centre.
3 Alberta (15-7) against No. 4 Thompson Rivers (13-9). The bronze medal game goes Saturday at 5 p.m. and the gold medal match is at 7 p.m. The top two teams advance to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships. Trinity Western is looking to make their fifth straight appearance at nationals, with two gold and one silver in the past four seasons.

The Corolla is sold in several different trim levels, starting at $15,995 to get the base CE, but the reality is that most Canadians will upgrade to the $19,215 S (Sport) or the LE for $19,500. To upgrade to this $20,500 LE Eco model is $1,035 over the S model and $750 over the regular LE.

It’s anything but tame in tone. Put the five-speed, heavy duty manual transmission into gear and hopefully you’ll be able to make good use of the 160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. That’s the kind of power being generated from its 1.4L, MultiAir turbocharged engine.

2014 Scion FR-S
ALEXANDRA STRAUB
drive rear-wheel drive sports coupe that’s priced under $30K can be linked to the Scion FR-S. You could also say it is linked with the Subaru BRZ as these four-seater, two-door vehicles were a joint venture product between the two Japanese brands. The FR-S features a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder boxer engine, developed in collaboration with Subaru. It combines Subaru’s horizontally opposed engine and
access to such pleasures of life. Setting it apart from its tamer siblings is a 2.4-litre engine producing 201 horsepower and 170 lb.-ft of torque. It also comes standard with 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels and a rear spoiler. Not to mention a 6-speed manual transmission. Whether opting for two or four doors, you can’t go wrong. Scion FR-S - $26,450 The return of the fun-to-
Toyota’s D-4S injection system. The result is 200 naturally aspirated horses and 151 lb-ft of torque and can be matched with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The back seats might not be incredibly comfortable for rear passengers but all the festivities are happening up front anyway. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

2014 BMW 4 series
Las Vegas, Nevada – Took the all-new BMW 4 Series Cabriolet on one of those leisurely and slow drives typical of a Sunday through Nevada’s stunningly beautiful Valley of Fire National Park. Problem was that it was a Tuesday and the only other car on the road seemed to be the somewhat inappropriately named pace car ahead that kept our speed to a fraction below the posted 30 mph speed limit (which is 48.280 km/h to be precise). Apparently, the over-

models. Oh, never mind. Anyway, this is a tourer for those with the cash rather than the sports-minded - $67,400 for the test car – so perhaps the afternoon stroll was more appropriate than a blast on the nearby freeway. (A base 428i version starts at $56,600, and comes with a 2.0-litre, 241 hp, turbocharged four-cylinder engine.) If you are looking for feedback through the steering, you are not going to get much but there is no argument that it offers a smooth ride and cornering is effortless at 32 mph – devils aren’t we? Once out of the park, the Smokey bears joined the press pack as impromptu pace cars! – One ahead of us pulled off at a donut shop as we hit the highway. Here was our chance to open up. A bit. The 300-hp turbo inline-six swiftly moved through eight-speed auto tranny to 100 klicks in a smidgen under six seconds then I chickened out. (Six-speed manual transmissions will be available in Canada, which should increase sportiness in performance.) Rumours circulated the evening dinner that a member of the Russian press corps had secured a $1,000 fine on that same stretch of road at about the time my co-driver and I had taken turns to punch the pedal and play briefly with steering-wheel mounted paddle gear changers. Oh, and that’s when he
were able to test the true effectiveness of the rear air diffuser (thumbs up) though when it is in place it rules out back seat passengers (thumbs down). And the rush of cooler desert air prompted us to flick the switch on the neck warmers, ah yes, a mark of true luxury. Truth is this car is more about looks. How it looks and how you look in it. And it looks absolutely fabulous, darling, now you ask. Can’t speak for myself. It is simple elegant in profile but a scowling front gives it beastly pretensions. The power hard top rises smoothly from its hiding place in the trunk in 20 seconds. We were told it could even be raised in speeds up to 18 km/h. Why would you want to? When that top is in place it truly looks like a coupe. Cool but even cooler when you lower the windows and see it as a pillar-less coupe! When the top is up it offers 370 litres of trunk space (222 litres when topless), which makes it the roomiest in its segment. BMW says it will comfortably stash two sets of golf clubs, if you are that way afflicted. Classy leather interior, with ergonomically correct front seats. Can’t say the same about the back seats but then who wants to share the open top experience with anybody other than one’s beloved? Controls handy though the rotary control was a bit too close to the front seat passenger for my liking. No fuel consumptions estimates are available yet. There will be an X Drive version later this year. We also got some seat time in the all-new 2 Series M235i . . . check out my thoughts on that at drivewaycanada.ca keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Truck of the year is tough gas miser The folks over a GM felt it was time to raise the bar and with this latest incarnation of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado. And indeed it took a major step forward by anybody’s estimation. Competition is fierce in the ½-ton pickup market and with heavy concentration on fuel consumption; it’s tough
to find a balance between fuel economy and a strong capable truck. But the Silverado designers achieved that balance and were rec-

respond to small vibrations and tackle the big bounces with ease. I admit I had my doubts. Driving the Silverado over a pothole-laden road did change the dynamics of this truck on how it handled but the shocks adjusted themselves perfectly. The frame mounts at the back of the cab
Detroit saw GM haul away top honors for the Corvette Stingray and Silverado pickup, which were named North American Car and Truck of the year. You can’t just beef up a suspension and still expect a smooth ride. Chev did: the Silverado utilizes finely tuned shock absorbers that

are hydraulic and this helps to control any vibration. The rear axle size has been increased to handle the larger torque output from the engine. Speaking of engines the Silverado offers three engine choices. The first is a 4.3L V6 with a 285 horsepower and 305 foot pounds of torque. An all-aluminum 5.3L V8 with 355 horsepower and a 6.2L EcoTec V8 that produces 420 horsepower and 450 foot pounds of torque. This engine also has active noise cancellation, very similar to good quality headphones! The transmission is a six-speed electronically controlled automatic with two overdrive gears. It has an estimated combined fuel economy of 13/8.7 L/100 km. Although my real world numbers were not that close, the transmission undoubtedly helped push a tank of gas a little farther than I expected. Properly equipped, this Silverado can tow up to 5216 kg (11,500 lb) which is impressive for a ½ ton pickup. The redesigned interior offers more leg room and is easily accessed through the larger doors. Stain resistant cloth seats or optional leather seats are very comfortable. The glove box is a two-piece design
and the centre console has plenty of room for files and junk to go missing for years! The steering wheel controls and other knobs on the dash are within reachable distance from the driver and larger enough that they can be used while wearing work gloves. My tester was equipped with Mylink system that basically controls everything. The voice recognition is easy to use and can respond to normal speech patterns. Bluetooth capabilities allow easy pairing of any smart phone with very little effort and accessing your music is a breeze. The rear bumper has steps built into it on both corners of the truck, making the job of climbing in the back an easy task. The tailgate features EZ-lift hardware that makes lowering the tailgate a one handed job. An available LED lights mounted under the box rails lights up the cargo area and makes every nook and cranny visible. Many innovative improvements were made to this truck to keep up with the consumer demands and the result will help spur Canadian sales. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Honda CR-Z 2011 to 2013 Honda introduced the world’s first hot-hybridhatch with the launch of its CR-Z for the 2011 model year. The CR-Z is a stylish, driver-focused, small two-seat hatchback that’s fun-to-drive, and it offers great fuel economy. It’s a contemporary take on an older (last sold in 1991) and much loved pocket-rocket called the Honda CRX, Reliability has been outstanding and the CR-Z’s resale value on the used market is above average, a nice bonus for owners. It is based on a chassis shared with the Honda Fit, an undeniably more practical (with seats for 4/5) vehicle option that lacks the style and sporty appeal of the CR-Z. Under its wedge-like aerodynamic design is a lightweight yet rigid structure. Its tapering roofline leads to an abrupt tail end with a double-window rear hatch. While the secondary lower glass
panel does provide a driver some addition rear vision, overall rearward sightlines are still a drawback. The suspension is
Bob McHugh
also on the firm side and combined with its short wheelbase uneven road surfaces can make the ride choppy. The sport theme continues on the inside with bucket-style seats that offer more side support on both the seatback and cushion. It also comes with large storage bins in the rear (instead of seats) that are covered by a drop-down cargo area divider when expanded trunk space is needed. Under hood, there is a 1.5-litre i-VTEC four-cylinder gas engine that’s
teamed with Honda’s compact (10-kilowatt) Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system to provide a maximum of 122 horsepower @ 6000 rpm. It’s essentially the same (mild-hybrid) drive system that’s also used in the Honda Insight and Honda Civic Hybrid. City/ highway fuel economy (with auto) is rated at 5.6/5.0 L/100km. The CR-Z, however, does offer two unique hybrid-drive differences. A six-speed manual transmission option being the first and a three-mode operational feature, which allows a driver to choose between Sport, Normal or Econ (Economy) driving styles, the second. The automatic option is a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters that provide seven-speed sequential gear-ratio control. The sport mode has to be selected to use the paddle shifters, but it’s an
Honda CR-Z impressively quick acting feature that’s fun to use. The Econ mode “smoothes” throttle inputs but will still kick down the transmission and give full throttle if the driver floors the gas pedal. It also dampens steering response, air conditioning use and activates the idle stop/start feature sooner, which is a big fuel saver in stop-and-go city driving. Normal mode is a middle-blend of the Sport and Econ modes. No significant changes were made to CR-Z for the 2012 model year, other than vehicles with a red
exterior could be ordered with black seat fabric. The 2013 CR-Z did get a few updates, including a more powerful battery pack, a standard reverse camera and Bluetooth. It was also offered in a Premium trim edition. A Honda legend returns with a modern twist, the Honda CR-Z offers agile handling and a more engaging driving experience than previously available in a small hybrid vehicle.

erating conditions (such as extreme temperatures, combined with high battery and accessory loads, and operation near engine stalling speeds), could allow the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to activate the engine’s stall prevention assist software. This might inadvertently command the hybrid system’s electric motor to rotate the engine in the opposite direction and cause the vehicle to move in a reverse direction than expected.

The Cottages at Seabright Farm welcome Canadians By Kerry Vital
The Cottages at Seabright Farm, located in Point Roberts, will soon be welcoming buyers, and Canadians are sure to love it. “There’s been unbelievable interest in this project,” says Wayne Knowles, development partner for The Cottages at Seabright Farm. “There are huge lots and great views. There’s nothing better than Point Roberts.”
Point Roberts has long been a popular spot for Canadians, especially those from the Lower Mainland looking for a quick and easy getaway without having to deal with a long drive or a ferry. Just across the border from Tsawwassen, you’ll find a relaxing atmosphere with a charming feel, great weather and plenty of activities to keep you as busy as you want to be. Knowles points out that about 90 per cent of the people who have already registered interest in the Cottages at Seabright Farm are from Canada.
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
The Cottages at Seabright Farm is located on 62 acres of direct south-facing waterfront. The cottages are based on Point Roberts’ historical summer cottages and simple farm buildings. “Point Roberts has character,” Knowles says. “It’s totally authentic and small enough to be a true community.” The most exciting part of the cottages will be the attached breezeways that Knowles calls a signature part of the development. A smaller second building can be attached to the first, and perhaps used as a master retreat, guest suite or garage space, among other options. Because of both the elevation and south slope of the entire property, you’ll find a gorgeous view no matter where you purchase. The two-or-more-bedroom cottages will include stone fireplaces, high ceilings, sunny window seats, hardwood flooring, relaxing decks and covered porches. Lots at Seabright Farm will start around $200,000, and finished cottages will start in the low $400,000s. For more information, visit www.seabrightfarmcottages.com or call 1-888-732-6915.

Homes at The Ridge at Bose Farms will incorporate all the beauty of the location, with wide-plank laminate hardwood flooring, nine-foot ceilings and huge decks and patios to give homeowners the best view.
Country-style living at The Ridge at Bose Farms By Kerry Vital
History is all around you at The Ridge at Bose Farms, a new master-planned condominium community with more than a touch of country style. “There’s really something for everybody
here,” says sales manager Nicole Castle. “The homes are priced well and it’s a great location.” The Ridge at Bose Farms is built on the historic Bose Family Farm land, and will be incorporating heritage elements. The former potato and machinery barn is being restored, along with the dairy shed and original Bose family farmhouse. All three will join an entirely new amenity building. The dairy shed will become a garden storage area, located next to the herb gardens and garden plots that will be available for the use and enjoyment of homeowners. The old farmhouse will hold two guest suites, along with a country kitchen and lounge area for smaller gatherings. Meanwhile, the potato and machinery barn will be connected to the new amenity building with a breezeway,
allowing owners to view the original roof framing and new timber plank floor. The second floor of the barn will be perfect for movie or game nights, barn dances and afternoon socials, continuing the traditions of this heritage site, while the first floor can be used as a woodworking shop, craft space or storage. The new amenity building will hold a fitness facility, yoga studio, library, chef ’s kitchen, fireside entertainment lounge and a media room, among other amenities. The one- and two-bedroom homes themselves, ranging from approximately 444 to over 1,000 square feet, take inspiration from the beautiful location, with their two designer colour schemes, wide-plank laminate hardwood flooring, nine-foot ceilings and huge decks and patios for taking
advantage of the stunning views. “From the north, you’ll look out over the Agricultural Land Reserve, the golf course and the North Shore mountains,” says Castle. “From the west, you’ll look out over the ridge or 12 acres of heritage forest to the south.” The kitchens are fit for a gourmet, with stainless-steel appliances, beautiful cabinetry and complementary quartz stone countertops and coordinated ceramic backsplash. Your space is lit with vintage-style schoolhouse or stainless-steel pendant lighting, as well as convenient under-cabinet task lighting. The bathrooms are spa-like and soothing with ceramic tile flooring and surrounds, as well as recessed pot lighting and wallmounted light sconces. The ensuite bathroom features his-and-hers sinks, frameless glass showers (in the two-bedroom homes) and glass accent tiles or a mix of marble and glass mosaic tiles, depending on your chosen colour scheme. The main bathrooms have custom one-piece vanities and elegant floating mirrors. The Ridge is perfectly situated to take advantage of all of Surrey’s best amenities, including shopping, dining, schools, leisure and recreation. Homes start at $162,900. For more information, check out www. theridgeatbosefarms.com, call 604-888-5514 or visit the presentation centre at 16390 64 Avenue, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.
