Coulter Berry debate resumes

Court ruling comes with $23 million price tag for district

TOWNSHIP COUNCIL SENDS REVISED PROPOSAL FOR BUILDING TO PUBLIC HEARING DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The debate over the revised Coulter Berry building proposal began in front of a nearly-full Township council chambers Monday night. More than 100 people, most of them opposed to the building, were present when a majority of councillors voted to send D AV ID the new D AV IS design to a public hearing on Monday, March 10 at 7 p.m. in council chambers. The vote to give the proposed project and re-zoning initial approval before it goes to a public hearing was passed 7-2, with Councillors David Davis and Bob Long opposed. Davis said he likes the building, but not in Fort Langley, and he doesn’t like “tailor-making” the three proposed bylaws that would re-zone the site to allow a three-storey

building and alter the Fort Langley Building Facade Design Guidelines to say they are there to “assist but not bind” council. “Why are we changing three bylaws to suit this one development?” Davis asked, generating applause from the audience and a call for order from Mayor Jack Froese. “This is a debate among council, not entertainment for you,” Froese said. Councillor Bob Long said the project should be sent back to the developer to trim its height at the corner of Mavis and Glover, where the building is highest. “It’s too big, too tall, and it’s too bulky,” Long said. Other council members rejected the suggestion, with Councillor Steve Ferguson calling it “out of order” and Councillor Grant Ward saying “this has to get off the ground.” It will be the second time the controversial Fort Langley development at the corner of Glover Road and Mavis Avenue has come up for approval. The first time, opponents convinced a B.C. Supreme Court judge to overturn the approval in October.

Pedestrians walk through the sidewalk scaffolding that surrounds the excavated Coulter Berry site in Fort Langley. At Monday’s meeting, Councillor Bob Long said a revised Coulter Berry building should be revised again to reduce its height. He was in the minority, with the majority of council voting to send the proposal to a public hearing.

It would cost the Langley School District $23 million in this current school year should class sizes and composition be restored to 2002 levels as per the Supreme Court ruling, said Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman. “The district was asked to analyze the cost of the court ruling, to provide logistics and how those logistics would impact our budget,” said Hoffman at Tuesday night’s board of education meeting. “We spent a very long weekend compiling the report where we looked at ratios of teacher librarians to be hired, teacher ratios, space in schools to accommodate new classrooms and would that impact our closed schools.” The class size formula used in 2002 would require some current classes to be split up, requiring more classrooms.

Track fill proposal rejected by Township NE IG H B O URS HAVE CON CER N S AB OU T TR U CK TR A FFIC , GR O U N D WATER D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

A proposal to fill in a former racetrack on a Langley farm has failed to win support from Lang-

ley Township council. But in rejecting All Seasons Mushrooms farm owner Frank Moscone’s application to apply more than 54,000 cubic metres or

more than 7,000 truck loads of fill to the horse oval on his property at 3468 224 Street, council left the door open for a modified proposal.

DAN FER GUSON L an gley Tim es

Frank Moscone told Langley Township council he wants to fill in a former racetrack on his 224 Street farm.

Moscone wants to apply the fill inside the racetrack oval to grow hay. The idea is opposed by several area residents, some of who spoke at a public hearing to express concern about truck traffic and possible harm to the environment. Among them was Patrick Niwa, who had concerns about runoff, pollution, damage and the effect on property values and Mei Lin Yeoell, who said a nearby berry farm was able to operate without fill. A number of residents also wrote the Township to urge rejection, including Susan Olsen, who said approving the fill request would be a “disaster” because it will send more large trucks rumbling through the neighbourhood. “I cannot imagine the threat to the environment and the groundwater,” Olsen wrote. Moscone said he simply wants to use his farmland as farmland and the fill will make the site useable agricultural land. “Nothing more is intended,” Moscone said. “I don’t believe we’re doing anything bad,” he added. Councillor David Davis, also a farmer, was skeptical. “You can farm that without putting anything on there,” Davis said.

“I urge you to reject if you feel so uncomfortable,” Moscone replied. When it came to a vote on Feb. 3, council did just that, rejecting the proposal and suggesting Moscone adjust his plans to reduce the amount of fill. “They need to go back to the drawing board,” Councillor Charlie Fox said, adding “this council isn’t going to accept anything close to 7,000 [truck] loads.” Councillor Michelle Sparrow said she would like to see the former horse track become “farmable land again, but not with so much fill.” Councilor Bev Dornan defended the applicant, saying “I think Mr. Moscone is a reputable businessman in this community and he has nothing but the best interests of the farming community.” So did Councillor Grant Ward, who said the application was an attempt to fix an “eyesore” in the the form of the track. “We ought to be advocating for our community members, not throwing stumbling blocks at them,” Ward said. Instead of rejecting the proposal outright, Sparrow convinced a majority of council to send the application back to Township staff to see if they can negotiate a reduced amount of fill with Moscone.

Police still investigating fatal hit-and-run MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

It has been seven months since a 37-year-old unidentified Langley man was run over and killed in a hit and run crash, which involves a Surrey RCMP consultant as a suspect. But possible criminal charges against the suspect are likely a year or more away, say Surrey RCMP. “This is a high-profile death and our serious crimes section has taken over the investigation,” said Surrey RCMP spokesperson Curtis Harding.

Given the suspect in this case is a civilian who was working for the Surrey RCMP at the time of the fatal crash, it makes the investigation more complex, he added. Investigators are having to gather all the analysis from various agencies and from reconstructionists. Ironically, the suspect was working with Surrey RCMP’s traffic section reconstructing and re-creating a 2012 fatal crash that killed one of their own officers, Const. Adrian Oliver. Oliver died in November 2012, at the intersection of 64 Avenue and 148 Street, when his cruiser was in colli-

sion with a semi truck. The consultant was driving the semi he used to re-create Oliver’s fatal crash. He had been working that day (Aug. 7) in the re-creation of the crash. After working on the re-creation, the suspect civilian was driving a semi eastbound in the curb lane in the 19500 block of Langley Bypass, when the semi allegedly struck and killed the 37-year-old pedestrian. Surrey RCMP say the semi driver didn’t stop to render assistance but kept driving. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash took place in the overnight hours. Police put out a description of the older model blue semi cab to the media and by mid-afternoon, Surrey RCMP had located and seized the truck. The driver of the vehicle was located and was questioned by Surrey RCMP that same day. He was released without charges. The victim’s name has not been released. The names of deceased people aren’t released while criminal investigations are going on, said B.C. Coroner Service’s Robert Fisher at the time of the man’s death.

Justice Joel Groves said the Township violated its own regulations when it approved a heritage alteration permit (HAP) for the project that allowed construction of a building that was bigger than the maximum size allowed in the heritage conservation area of downtown Fort Langley. The judge said the project could not be approved by a vote to make an exception to the size restrictions, but it could be approved if the size limits were increased by re-zoning the property. Groves wrote that council could legally change the zoning of downtown Fort Langley to approve bigger buildings like Coulter Berry “through the

usual process of public hearings and public consultations.” That is what developer Eric Woodward ended up doing in January, applying for re-zoning and making some adjustments to the look and size of the building in the process. The second attempt at approval of Coulter Berry is expected to mean another lengthy public hearing process and continued opposition from the Fort Langley Residents for Sustainable Development and the Langley Heritage Association. Harold Whittell, a director of the Fort Langley Residents for Sustainable Development, has warned that any attempt by the Township to spot zone the site would be “vehemently opposed.”

said. “Looking forward there will be challenges. You can’t take $275 million out of a [education] budget and then have to reinstate it without challenges. “But it’s not like this board hasn’t faced challenges before. Every year teachers are released. We have closed schools and reconfigured others. I suggest it’s time to make this language [around class sizes and configuration] work for us.”

When the Liberals announced their balanced budget last week, it didn’t include any new funding for education, nor did it include any funding provisions for the cost of the court ruling. To that, trustee Cecilia Reekie said the B.C. School Trustees Association is expressing “disappointment” that the government didn’t see children’s education as a priority. Teachers are set to take a strike vote March 4 to 6.

On Sunday, Feb. 16, Langley RCMP responded to the 5700 block of Production Way after a BC Hydro crew found power poles and transformers had been damaged. Two power poles had been chopped down and three attached electrical transformers had been opened and their contents stolen along with the connecting cables.

Soft soil conditions slow bridge DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

Unexpectedly soft soil conditions contributed to the second postponement of the opening of the new 56 Avenue bridge over the Nicomekl River. An unsigned Feb. 24 memo to Langley Township council from the engineering division says

“an extension of the road closure has become necessary due to unanticipated geotechnical conditions.” The bridge, located between 211 Street and 213A Street, is now scheduled to open on Friday, March 7 “subject to favorable conditions.” When the bridge reopens, the

memo said, it will be limited to one lane in each direction while work to relocate utility poles and overhead wiring is carried out. The memo says the structural work has been “largely completed with only the installation of the approach slabs and pedestrian/cyclist railing remaining.”

Paid parking at Langley Memorial Hospital’s emergency is here to stay, but the Fraser Health Authority is looking at ways to make it easier for people to pay. “We are considering implementing pay-by-phone at Langley,” said Geoff Roberts, director of parking and access with Fraser Health. The authority also re-

cently installed an ATM-like pay parking system. The Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation is also opening up a 710-stall parking lot just across the street. “The main rationale behind emergency pay parking is to encourage short term, high turn over. “Our rates are higher and restrictions are more aggressive in emergency because our hope is people will get into

emergency, and then move their vehicle to the longer term parking lot.” Paying for parking during an emergency health situation has struck a chord with Langley residents who were quick to respond to one mother’s letter about her $80 parking ticket when she rushed her toddler to emergency. She paid the ticket early, reducing it to $48 instead, Continued Page 7

FEELING LUCKY?

LMH parking to expand by 710 stalls NEW PAVED PARKING LOT IS SCHEDULED TO OPEN IN MARCH MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

With only 290 stalls in the parking lot for visitors, LMH has been operating with a “parking deficit,” said FHA’s director of parking Geoff Roberts. Staff were parking in a small gravel lot across the street, but it was poorly lit and subject to puddling. Many have been choosing to park in nearby neighbourhoods or across Fraser Highway. “The foundation purchased a property across the street from the current parking maybe 20 years ago with the idea of holding it for possible future expansion of the hospital,” said LMH Foundation chair

As one of the fastest growing communities in B.C., Langley Memorial Hospital is feeling it. Since the current building opened in 1965, almost 50 years ago, it has seen little in the form of change or expansion. Luckily, thanks to a huge fundraising campaign by the LMH Foundation, a new multi-million dollar maternity ward will soon open to accommodate all the babies being born here. Also, the Foundation is set to open a new 710-stall paid parking lot for hospital staff and visitors next month.

Rick McMullan. In the interim, a portion of the property has been used for staff parking, but there was poor lighting and the gravel conditions weren’t the best, he said. Given the demands of a growing population using the hospital and staff using neighbourhood streets to park, the Township and the FHA approached the Foundation about creating a large parking lot. It’s been a $2 million investment made by the Foundation in the form of a mortgage taken on the lot. It is currently being paved, landscaped and

lighting installed to accommodate 710 stalls for visitors and staff. “We did not use donor money for this. We used the land as a security for our mortgage,” said McMullan. The revenue from the pay parking will go to pay off the mortgage. Once that mortgage is paid off, the revenue from parking will go directly back into health care needs at LMH. The current lot beside the hospital is owned by FHA, with the majority of parking revenue going back into general revenue for equipment and patient care across the region.

but FHA is reimbursing her those funds. And voiding tickets is often the case in those kinds of emergencies, said Roberts. “We are in the care business, not in the revenue business,” he said. Su VanderHorst rushed her four-yearold son to emergency with a serious head injury at Langley Memorial Hospital recently. When she had arrived at the ER, the boy was vomiting, bleeding, and in obvious pain. He was immediately brought in to

see doctors. Numerous stitches and a couple of hours later, she returned to her vehicle, to find an $80 parking ticket. “Security will assist you or hospital administration so you won’t get a ticket or if you do get a ticket, in those cases, take the ticket to admin and they will most likely void it,” Roberts said. There is also a number to call on the back of tickets to ask for it to be voided. Fraser Health owns the 290-stall paid parking lot at LMH. It says one-third of revenue goes to offset maintenance, like landscaping, snow

removal and security costs. The remaining two-thirds goes back into FHA general revenues. Paying for parking at hospitals has always been a hot topic. In Delta, the council passed a bylaw banning pay parking at its hospital. Mayor Lois Jackson said patients who receive visitors have a better outcome and paid parking reduces visits. Staff at LMH as well as volunteers all pay for parking. Monthly and weekly passes are available at a discounted rate, Roberts said. There are also senior discounts.

Less accountability 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 diminishing of local democracy continues, with an announcement Tuesday by the provincial government that municipal councils and boards of education will now be elected for four-year terms, instead of three. While many local governments favour the switch, there are a significant number of smaller communities who do not, as has been expressed when Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) conventions address this topic. Nonetheless, the views of a task force set up by the province and UBCM have now prevailed. All that is necessary is a change to legislation, set to take place in the next few months. Prior to 1987, local councils were elected for two-year terms, with half the council elected each year in most communities. This meant that councillors were constantly forced to be accountable for decisions they made on local issues. At that time, there were also much stricter requirements that municipal borrowing be approved by voters in a referendum, which acted as another constraint on municipal excesses. Since 1987, councils have been elected for three-year terms, with just one election every three years. This has led to controversial issues rarely causing much upheaval and having little impact on the makeup of a council, due to the passage of time and voters’ short memories. It is interesting that voter turnout, which was cited as justification for the changes back in 1987, has continued to spiral downwards. Most people simply tune out local governments and don’t bother voting. In the two Langleys, voter turnout usually is around 20 per cent. All the platitudes about four-year elections helping boost turnout and allowing local governments to do better long-term planning are just spin. This move puts more power in the hands of councils and municipal administrators, and less in the hands of those who pay the bills.

Do you support urbanization of Brookswood and Fernridge?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

When something subversive yet important is co-opted and adopted by almost everyone, does it still have meaning? Does it still have value? That’s the question that can be asked now that Pink Shirt Day, which took place Wednesday, has taken hold across North America. In the last seven years, Pink Shirt Day has grown from a spontaneous and risky act of protest by a couple of students in a Nova Scotia high school to an international campaign that has inspired many. It has spurred political action, spread awareness that bullying can be challenged with education and understanding, and generated thousands of dollars for anti-bullying programs. Millions now don pink T-shirts at their schools and workplaces to let people know they are against bullying. But when has anyone ever been for bullying? Bullying is an insidious cancer that has long existed in the human race. It is a kind of currency of exchange between powerful people and vulnerable challengers. It goes on behind closed doors, in back alleys and on the internet, but also out in the open in workplaces and classrooms. It also must be recognized that for kids, bullying is nuanced behaviour stemming from deep-seated psychological issues, requiring sensitivity, not labelling. Pink Shirt Day has undoubtedly been valuable in getting us to face up to the truth that society has long sanctioned bullying behaviour — rewarded it even, enabling bullies to become powerful people in the workplace, the executive suite and any place that individuals come together to collaborate and work. But as a catalyst for change, has Pink Shirt Day run its course now that it is as ubiquitous as Santa Claus? Does the colour pink on everything from cars to cupcakes really help kids tormented by online trolls or workers cowed by bullying colleagues? Spending money for programs to change behaviour and attitudes is a good thing. But it may be time for another subversive act of protest, something that kids themselves come up with that has nothing to do with adults and their agendas. — Tri-City News

FSA test flusters talented student

Let’s fill the hole Editor: After following the sad Coulter Berry saga, it has become clear to me that in essence it is about a very admirable building that a sincere (but misguided) developer wanted to build in the absolutely wrong place, and a mayor and majority of a council that, for some reason, seemed hell bent on destroying the goofy feel-good small town atmosphere of ‘downtown’ Fort Langley by ignoring heritage guidelines and setting a powerful precedent of ‘spot zoning’. Together they hurried, in spite of an impending lawsuit, to create a big hole that they obviously hoped would make the whole project unstoppable and irreversible. It must have been clear to anyone with a bit of common sense that this project was totally out of scale with the surrounding heritage area. Ask the film crews that regularly clutter the streets of our downtown core, or the tourists that choose it over plenty of more modern destinations why they are here, and not in one of the many uniform neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland. It is tragic that community plans are having so much trouble in dealing with concepts of scale, character and quality of locations. Establishing maximum heights or quibbling about a few feet higher or lower doesn’t create these qualities. In the town centres of older cultures, buildings of vastly different heights can co-exist harmoniously. Fort Langley has a bit of critical historical mass that should be protected from the tsunami of destructive progress. The Coulter Berry building could have been famous elsewhere, but where it is planned with the scheming of the majority of council, it will only awaken the sleeping tiger of Fort Langley’s rightful indignation. Township literature promoting other developments states that buildings should be designed and sited so that their mass does not restrict sun penetration to roadways, sidewalks and adjacent land uses; and that in development of village centres, form and character can be controlled through design guidelines to ensure that they develop into small-scale, pedestrian-oriented ‘main streets’ in keeping with the rural character of the area. In the case of Fort Langley, either the Township speaks with forked tongue, or there is a serious disconnect between staff and politicians. The heritage hole in Fort Langley is for me a monument to the hubris of a developer who was trying to see what he could get away with, and the majority of Township council. I, for one, don’t want it to be covered up quickly by that building. Lest we forget. I propose that the citizens of the Fort who care about elements of the past fill it slowly, by hand, one weekend at a time, and see what will grow on that footprint. I have a couple of wheelbarrows. It would be a nice way to get to know some more neighbours over something communal and positive. ROB KOENIG, FORT LANGLEY

Editor: Throughout B.C., all students have just finished writing the FSA tests. There has been controversy for years over the value and validity of these tests. The following experience by a child who just turned 10 at Roots and Wings Montessori School may help to convince us of their futility. The nine- to 12-year-olds are preparing speeches for their involvement at the MMUM (Montessori Model United Nations) in New York in April. Their topic is capital punishment. After research and classroom discussion, this is what one student wrote as part of her speech: “I think capital punishment and executions should be permanently banned all over the world. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done, you can’t do something so bad that you have to have your life taken away. Anyone can learn. Anyone can change, they just sometimes need some help. And instead of killing people for crimes, they can tell them that it was wrong. Together, we can repair the negativity that is passing through their minds. The authority figures in the world that support this inhumane practice need to reconsider. “Sometimes they get the wrong person. They need to have more evidence. Innocent people are having their

perfectly good lives taken away by unkind, hostile people. Even the politicians and judges just have to reconsider. We can tell them, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” We can ask them, “How would you like it if someone with more power than you killed you?” And they might change their minds. “Even though I’m only 10, I can see a world without capital punishment. And I want this dream to come to life, and so do the people who maybe were tricked into a crime, or accidentally did something. I want a world without capital punishment, and you probably do too.” The same morning that she wrote this, Kylie was given the first section of the FSA test, which required her to read two passages and write a paragraph answering a question about them. She was flustered because she couldn’t figure out what the marker wanted her to say. What she wrote would have labelled her as being “below expectations” for Grade 4. I am just offering this example.

Fire was not at Langley Lodge Editor: The article on the front page of the Feb. 18 2014 edition of The Times mentions a fire last April at the “Elm building at Langley Lodge.” I wish to correct this statement. The Elm building is not part of Langley Lodge. The Langley Lions Senior Citizens Housing Society owns and operates the Elm building, which is part of Rainbow Lodge. Langley Lodge, a longterm care facility, is owned and operated by the Langley Care Society. In 2008, the Langley Care Society commissioned a complete renovation of its building to comply with new code requirements for residential care facilities in B.C., imposed in October, 2009. Langley Lodge is a concrete structure, fully equipped with fire suppression systems, including sprinklers. The Langley Care Society invested $28 million to improve and expand its facilities, in order to minimize risks, improve safety and provide for a better quality of life for our residents. As an organization, we are very concerned about the incidence of fires in housing complexes that are designed

for older adults and those with mobility issues. The recent fire at the Residence du H’Avre in L’Isle Verte, Quebec was very tragic and frightening for those of us who are entrusted with the care of the elderly. In January, the board of directors of the Langley Care Society met to review our facility’s fire safety procedures. Our fire safety systems are regularly inspected, tested and maintained. The CEO and operations leadership are responsible for conducting monthly fire drills and for annual fire response training of all personnel. We have also met in the past week with the City of Langley Fire Prevention Officer for a review of our fire safety procedures. We are doing everything possible to ensure the safety of our residents, in the unlikely event of a fire in Langley Lodge. DEBRA HAUPTMAN, CEO, LANGLEY CARE SOCIETY Editor’s note — The Times regrets the error.

One can’t blame it all on smart meters Editor: In a letter in the Feb. 18 Times, the writer suggests smart meters not only “affects her balance and speech” but also “deforms her nails.” As much as I admire her chutzpah in using this approach to fighting the imposition of this technology, I have to ask — seriously? While I’m certainly no supporter of this technology, I have an understanding of it, having worked in electronics for many years. Firstly, the smart meters are only actively transmitting

for several seconds per day at a signal strength no greater than a cell phone. Secondly, they also transmit in the same frequency range as a cell phone. If she is affected by electromagnetic radiation in that range, she’d have been having symptoms when cell phones became common. Regardless, she gets an ‘A’ for effort in my book but no, smart meters aren’t at fault. JOHN BECK, LANGLEY

Help organized for victims in Ukraine

NPN 80041845 An anti-inflammatory to help joint pain. By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

The honourary consul for Ukraine in B.C., Mir Huculak, is publicizing opportunities for British Columbians to help the families of shooting victims in Kyiv, Ukraine, and those who were injured in anti-government protests. Between 75 and 100 people died in the upheaval, which led to President Viktor Yanukovych fleeing Kyiv on Friday, and a plan for new elections in May. Huculak is a regular attendant at Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Festival, where he represents the many Canadians of Ukrainian background. Canada has the third-largest group of people of Ukrainian descent in the world, behind only Ukraine itself and Russia. The total number of Canadian residents of Ukrainian descent is 1.5 million. Many of the original Ukrainians who came to Canada did so before the First World War to settle on the Prairies, but there has been a steady wave of immigration over the years. This has often been due to a series of tragic circumstances, including

the forced starvation of millions under Josef Stalin, known as the Holodomor, and the upheaval and destruction caused by the Second World War, in which about seven million Ukrainians died. In more recent years, immigrants have come to Canada from Ukraine, since it gained its independence when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics collapsed in 1991. Langley MP Mark Warawa is of Ukrainian descent, and has made a number of representations on behalf of Ukrainians and Canadian of Ukrainian background in his 10 years as an MP. Huculak said that people wishing to make tax-deductible donations, which will be used for humanitarian relief for shooting victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; families and injured protesters, can donate online through the CUF Maidan Fund, at www.cufoundation.ca, or through Ukrainian Canadian Social Services, at Â https://www.canadahelps.org/dn/15000. Non-tax deductible donations can be sent to Ukrainian Canadian Congress, at 145 Evans Ave. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Suite 208, Toronto, ON, M8Z 5X8.

The reopening of grizzly bear territories is marketed to urban residents as a horrible crime against nature. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sign of increasing population. Problems in B.C. wildlife these days include the fragile mountain caribou herds of the Kootenays, which have been subject to intensive management including relocation of animals.

Traffic calming open house The Township of Langley is hosting an open house to receive input on traffic calming design concepts for 29 Avenue fronting Aldergrove Community Secondary School. The open house will be held on Tuesday, March 4 at ACSS’s library from 5 p.m to 8 p.m. Information on the traffic calming design process and design options will be presented. Last year, ACSS students brought a petition to the Township asking for a marked crosswalk in front of their school. A 10-year-old boy was hit and seriously injured in 2012 and residents have complained that drivers speed through the zone. Parents have come before Township council over the years, asking for a lighted crosswalk in front of the school. Residents are encouraged to attend and complete a questionnaire, which will help the Township develop a preferred design option for traffic calming measures in this location.

Coal shipments rise to 35 per cent of port exports JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Port Metro Vancouver recorded nine per cent growth in overall cargo moved in 2013, with increases in coal, grain and container shipments leading the way. Coal shipments — which have been controversial — climbed 17 per cent to 38.2 million tonnes, split between about 26 million tonnes of steelmaking coal and 12 million tonnes of thermal coal. The port’s coal shipping capacity is expected to climb with a pending expansion in North Vancouver and, potentially a new terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks that has hit strong opposition. Coal now makes up 35 per cent of port exports. Much of the steelmaking coal is shipped through Roberts Bank and the trains that haul it there travel through Langley. Container shipments were up four per cent in 2013 to 2.83 million containers. Port Metro CEO Robin Silvester said that gain stems from more containerized grain exports and increased imports of consumer products to Canada to meet rising consumer demand. It’s close to the port’s long-term expectation of five per cent a year overall container growth that Silvester said is the basis for the proposed Terminal 2 expansion at Deltaport. “The growth we’ve been expecting is coming to pass and underlining the importance of the infrastructure strategy we’ve been working on with our federal and provincial partners,” Silvester said. One of the most visible infrastructure upgrades — the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor work to build eight railway overpasses in Delta, Surrey and Langley — should be finished within a year, he said. The overpasses will reduce road congestion from trains blocking level crossings that would otherwise worsen as port traffic grows. They’ll also reduce or eliminate train whistling. The 232 Street overpass is the most advanced, and work on the combo project involving three overpasses and new roads between 192 Street and 52 Avenue and 196 Street and 64 Avenue is proceeding quickly. Work on the Mufford overpass at

Black Press file ph oto

A tug boat moves a container ship into place in Vancouver. Highway 10 and Mufford Crescent is also moving ahead. Silvester said the port projects a doubling of container shipments over the next 15 years or so and up to 30 per cent growth in grain handling. He said last year’s growth of 11 million tonnes of cargo — to a record 135 million tonnes overall — was the equivalent of adding an entire medium-sized port in Metro Vancouver. He said the port supports 60,000 jobs in the Lower Mainland that earn 50 per cent more than the average wage. Slightly fewer oil tankers loaded at Kinder Morgan’s Westridge Terminal in Burnaby — 48 in 2013 compared to 50 in 2012. Oil tanker visits are expected to soar to 400 per year if the Trans Mountain pipeline twinning proceeds. Silvester said the drop in oil exports was because refineries in Washington State took more crude via a branch of the pipeline that serves them, leaving less for Kinder Morgan to export. More than 812,000 cruise ship passengers visited Vancouver and the total number of cruise ships visiting climbed to 235.

Theatre lovers are in for a treat as Langley Secondary School’s (LSS) musical theatre class gets set to launch their rendition of the 2002 Broadway hit, Thoroughly Modern Millie, tonight (Feb. 27) at the school. “It’s a great musical,” said co-director and LSS teacher Brian Leonard during the group’s Feb. 22 dress rehearsal. “It’s so funny.” Based on a 1967 film of the same name starring Julie Andrews, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of small-town girl Millie Dillmount — played by Grade 12 student Emma Garland — who arrives in flapper-era 1920s New York City with big, modern ambitions to marry for money instead of love. Dillmount is quickly brought back to reality after losing all her belongings in a mugging and coming face-to-face with a hotel owner who is also the leader of a white slavery ring in China. Despite the quasi-serious subject matter, Leonard insists audiences will delight in a comedic tour-de-force he compares to many Shakespeare comedies — plenty of hijinks and cases of mistaken identity, but with a happy ending for everyone. The cast, which includes students from both LSS and H.D. Stafford Middle School, has been rehearsing since September for the two-week run. “Now that we have the band here, it changes the atmosphere entirely,” Grade 12 student Clarissa Gutowski said on Saturday. Her character, Mrs. Meers, is the show’s villain, a part Gutowski says is fun to play. “It’s been a long and slow sort of build up … but now that we’re so close to our first show it’s so exciting,” she said. Langley audiences can expect something for everyone, from colourful art deco scenery and

Millie Dillmount (played by Emma Garland) escapes to the Big Apple from small-town Salina, Kansas in LSS’s production of Thoroughly Modern Millie. Revelling in 1920s flapper style, Dillmount embarks on what was a thoroughly modern quest for a woman in New York in 1922 — to marry for money instead of for love. classic flapper style, to challenging high-energy music and dance. “It’s a great musical for (having) lots of parts for lots of kids,” said Leonard, explaining that one of the most unique components of the class, which takes place Monday nights, is that every student gets a part. “We don’t say no to anyone, we build more of a community.” In that vein, LSS’s shop class has contributed props, art

teachers and students have assisted with set design, and the musical’s full-piece band, led by music teacher Patti Thorpe, is made up of current students, recent graduates and community players. Shows take place at 7 p.m. at LSS, 21405 56 Ave. on Feb. 27 and 28, as well as March 1, 6, 7 and 8. There will also be 2 p.m. matinees on Saturdays. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.

Trio celebrated at International Women’s Day luncheon

B.C. WOMAN WHO HAS HELPED AFGHAN GIRLS TO BECOME EDUCATED WILL BE KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT ROTARY EVENT

A young woman who has made it her mission to help Afghan girls get an education will be the keynote speaker at the Rotary Club of Langley Central’s third annual International Women’s Day lunch. The event takes place on Saturday, March 8 at Newlands Golf Club. Lauryn Oates became interested in the plight of Afghan women in 1996, at the age of 14. She read about how the Taliban was treating women and girls, refusing to allow girls to go to school. In 1999, she founded the Vancouver chapter of Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan (CW4WAfghan) and is currently projects director for the organization. Since 2008, CW4WAfghan has graduated over 4,000 teachers and puts thousands of girls through school as a result. It is developing a multilingual online database of educator resources for Afghan

in Novice girls hockey team win Heritage Classic Tickets The off-ice efforts of a novice girls hockey team has earned them a trip to this Sunday’s NHL Heritage Classic at B.C. Place. The Langley Girls Ice Hockey Association Lightning team was surprised with 25 tickets to the outdoor game on March 2 between the Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators. The Lightning won the tickets through a contest run by Breakfast Television on City and the National Hockey League. The Langley girls were rewarded based on their efforts over the holiday season. Instead of holding their traditional Christmas party, the parents of the team asked the players to instead collect for JRFM’s Basics for Babies campaign. The parents were blown as the team of seven and eight-year-olds embraced the task and went above and beyond, raising nearly $4,000 for the cause.

$20,000 donation to KPU creates endowment in memory of Ed Schellenberg Ed Schellenberg’s quiet generosity will continue through a scholarship in his name at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The Ed Schellenberg Memorial Endowed Scholarship has been created through a $20,000 donation raised during five memorial golf tournaments. The endowment will fund an annual $1,000 scholarship for a student enrolled in KPU’s appliance servicing program who is passionate about giving to others, as Schellenberg was. “Ed was a kind, quiet, humble and hard-working man,” said brother-in-law Steve Brown, who also worked with Schellenberg at Brown’s company, Service Only. Schellenberg was an innocent victim of the Surrey Six murders. He had been servicing a fireplace on the top floor of a Surrey highrise on Oct. 19, 2007 when he was fatally shot. The endowment was made possible through several memorial golf tournaments organized by Kevin Ford, whose company Coast Gas Fireplace Repair worked closely with Schellenberg and Brown, and Brian White, a local realtor who didn’t actually know Schellenberg, but was moved to do the right thing.

Coming home to Fairborne’s Ashbury Hill in Surrey By Kerry Vital

Craftsman style and nature are combining at Ashbury Hill, Fairborne’s townhome project that offers two- and threebedroom homes at a great price. Located in Surrey’s Panorama neighbourhood, Ashbury Hill continues to demonstrate Fairborne’s commitment to highquality, beautiful homes. “With meticulous planning and attention to detail, Ashbury

Hill has been designed for your comfort with thoughtful layouts and contemporary finishings,” says sales manager Tara Lok. “Ashbury Hill offers tremendous value.” Among the features you’ll find inside are gourmet kitchens with stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops and tons of storage space, luxurious bathrooms with glass accents and large soaker tubs, and laminate wood flooring throughout the main level. The homes share access to a lush protected greenbelt, giving

homeowners a sense of natural, quiet serenity. “Taking inspiration from its surroundings, the design of this community has been driven by the lay of the land, view lines, and the natural landscaping of the surrounding greenbelt,” says Lok. Move-in ready homes start at $289,900. For more information, visit www.ashburyhill.com or call 604-953-1211.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

VillageWalk sales manager Angela Jorgenson notes that the community is already garnering buzz in West Maple Ridge. There will be 23 single-family homes in the project, above right, in a range of three- and four-bedroom floorplans.

West Maple Ridge welcomes VillageWalk to the neighbourhood By Kerry Vital

Quality and location are combining at VillageWalk, an exclusive community of 23 homes that has been garnering plenty of attention from local residents. “People have been waiting for a long time and it’s finally here,” says sales manager Angela Jorgenson. “In just a matter of a few weeks, we’ve had close to 100 registrants expressing interest in the plans and wanting to buy sooner rather than later.”

Developed from a partnership between Woodbrige Properties and local Maple Ridge builder Pivotal Developments, VillageWalk is currently open for pre-sale by appointment only. The show home is expected to be opening in late spring/early summer. However, people have the opportunity to make their selection right now. “The location is one of the biggest selling points so far,” says Jorgenson. “It’s central to everything that’s important, including schools, shopping and leisure activities.”

It’s also just moments from the Golden Ears Bridge, West Coast Express and Lougheed Highway, making commuting very easy from this West Maple Ridge location. The spacious three- and four-bedroom single-family homes are available in a range of floorplans, as well as ranger designs that Jorgenson says are in the process of being designed and have already been the subject of a great deal of interest. “The developers have spent a good deal of time on the plans, ensuring that they are very livable for each of our homeowners,” she says. The homes range from approximately 2,200 to over 2,300 square feet plus basement, built with contemporary Craftsman-style architecture and large patios and decks tailormade for entertaining or relaxing.

Nine-foot ceilings on the main floor contribute to the sense of space, along with oversized picture windows and vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom. The kitchens are fit for a gourmet, with generous over-height cabinetry with shaker-style doors, quartz countertops, a coordinating ceramic tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances. Recessed pot and under-cabinet lighting perfectly illuminate your tasks. Wide-plank laminate wood flooring is featured throughout the main living areas, along with plush carpeting in the bedrooms and ceramic tile flooring in the bathrooms. Ensuite bathrooms feature their own quartz countertops, along with custom vanities with shake-style cabinetry. The ensuite also holds a glass shower enclosure with a designer ceramic tile surround, while the main bathroom has a soaker tub as well as a modern ceramic tile tub surround. Full-width mirrors and polished chrome lighting prepare you to greet the day or wind down after a busy week. “We have a great upgrade package, so buyers can customize their home,” says Jorgenson. “People who register with us now can pre-select their home, choose their colour scheme and their lot. And with a location like this in West Maple Ridge, there’s really never been a better time to make that decision.” Homes start at $599,900. For more information and to pre-register, visit www. liveatvillagewalk.com or call 604-465-6524.

Anyone six and over can ride their own horse – who is groomed, saddled and waiting at the park’s entrance – and there are also special parent-led rides for toddlers.

Free pancakes to benefit B.C. Children’s Hospital Sunday April 27, 2014 Douglas Park 20550 Douglas Crescent

Eating pancakes on March 4 will benefit children’s hospitals across the country. Participating IHOP restaurants across the country will be offering free short stacks of buttermilk pancakes as part of National Pancake Day. In exchange, customers are asked to make a donation in support of Children’s Miracle Network’s local children’s hospitals. Millions of pancakes are expected to be served between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. on Tuesday (March 4) at IHOP locations across the country. That means all pancakes served up at IHOP locations in B.C. will go towards B.C. Children’s Hospital. While this initiative has been done in the United States for the past eight years — raising nearly $13 million — this is the first time it is being done in Canada. “I’m especially proud that what

started as a grassroots effort in a few IHOP markets nine years ago has grown into a significant and truly international event,” said Julia Stewart, the CEO of DineEquity, Inc., the parent company of IHOP. “We are thrilled that IHOP is bringing National Pancake Day to Canada and are grateful that they have chosen to support our hospitals with the money they will raise,” said John Hartman, the chief operating officer of the Children’s Miracle Network. “Enjoying a free short stack of delicious pancakes while making a donation is a terrific way for people to improve the lives of sick children in their own community.” While there was no official partnership last year, IHOP did provide B.C. Children’s Hospital with close to $5,300 last year, which it raised with National Pancake Day. The Langley IHOP location is at 19700 Langley Bypass.

Changes coming to Cascades Casino RENOVATIONS TO LANGLEY FACILITY WILL ADD BRITISHSTYLE PUB, FAMILY-FRIENDLY BUFFET AND OTHER UPGRADES D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

Renovations to the Cascades Casino Resort in Langley will create a new pub-style restaurant, a family-friendly buffet that can accept children and a show theatre that is open to the gaming floor. Construction work began on Wednesday (Feb. 12). Once the renovations are completed in mid2014, the current buffet and restaurant combination that requires access by walking through the adults-only gaming floor will become an expanded grand buffet that will offer themed ethnic dinners. The new buffet will be accessed through the hotel lobby, some-

thing that will allow children to dine. The location of the current card room will become what is described as a “contemporary themed British pub” named the MATCH Eatery and Public House, similar to the one that recently opened at the Chances Squamish gaming facility on the Sea to Sky Highway. The Casino’s 420-seat Summit Theatre will be modified to allow people in the gaming area to better see and hear live music acts that will provide free entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays. The casino started offering free music acts in January. A general overhaul and upgrade is also

planned for the gaming floor. “People are no longer looking for just a restaurant or concert or gaming experience,” Randy Sears, the executive general manager of Cascades said in a written statement. “They now want all of these options under one roof and available all the time.” Since the casino and convention centre opened at 20393 Fraser Hwy. in 2005, Langley City has received $53.6

million under a profit-sharing deal that gives the municipality a 10 per cent share of Cascades net profits. The money has been used on capital projects like the 204 Street overpass, Fraser Highway bridge replacement, Al Anderson pool improvements, fire truck purchase as well as retiring municipal debt and funding more than 100 charities. The 80,000 square foot casino has more

than 800 slot machines, as well as table games.

Graham Secondary. Right: Goertzen (#5) waits on the court for the ball to come her way; Below: coach Pol Babao gives instruction to Goertzen.

Eagles’ Goertzen soars G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r ts

Standing all alone while the rest of her teammates play defence at the other end of the court, Chelsi Goertzen claps her hands calling for the ball. At the far end of the floor, the R.E. Mountain Eagles have gained possession of the basketball and with a couple of quick passes, the ball is soon in Goertzen’s hands. Without taking a dribble, Goertzen turns her body square to the hoop and unleashes a three-point shot that finds nothing but net. Shooting three-pointers in nothing new for Goertzen. “I have had her shooting hoops for a long time so she is pretty good at it,” said her father, Derek Goertzen, who serves as an assistant coach on the Mountain senior girls team. “I love sports and especially basketball so I used to go down to the court (near our house) with her and shoot baskets.” “She just got the hang of it right away and loved to do it,” he added. “When she gets on a roll, she is usually pretty good.” His daughter, who turns 18 soon, has long loved sports. She first played team basketball when she was 12 with Athletes in Action’s Friday Nite Basketball. She has also done Special Olympics, playing hoops, bowling, floor hockey, pretty much anything she can, said her dad. Goertzen, who has autism, is in her first year on the Eagles basketball team. She has also ran cross-country for two years with the school. She joined the basketball team on the

request of coach Pol Babao, a special education assistant at the school. “I knew her passion for basketball,” he explained. “And I wanted to give her a chance to play a real basketball game.” Babao employs a specific strategy with Goertzen, having her on the court for either the first or last minute of each quarter. She doesn’t play defence, just standing near the other team’s three-point line to take advantage of her outside shooting ability. Goertzen has the potential to get on a roll when given the opportunity. At a tournament earlier this season, she came third in a three-point shooting contest. And in a video made by the school, at one point she sinks three consecutive long-range shots as the crowd cheered her on. Her part on the team is not a gimmick. “She is a real player,” Babao said, adding that the opposition guards her and tries not to give her a clean look at the hoop. “They don’t see the autism there and it’s great,” he added. Babao knew Goertzen’s passion for the sport. Every morning before school, he would see her in the gym launching shot after shot. It would be a similar story at lunch time. The coach said he wished some of the other players would have her dedication. And inviting Goertzen on the team — as well as another special needs student — was all about teaching his players inclusion. The players love having Goertzen as a teammate. “She brings a lot of joy to our team,

something special,” said Paige Meister. “She really brings us together and it is really fun having her there.” “Chelsi is a big asset to the team,” added Ruth Babao, the coach’s daughter. “We just try and get her the ball.” Opponents have been great with Goertzen too. “They have a certain respect for her,” said Victoria Adimora. But talking to Goertzen, and all she cares about is being on the court and being with her friends, shrugging off her knack for outside shooting. When asked if she is the best shooter on the team, she smiles and nods her head. “She just basically wants to be with her friends,” said her father. “She is definitely happier when she is around others.” “She is a fun-loving social girl and everyone loves her,” he added. “She loves sports and she has a good time and is pretty good at them and everyone is amazed.” And while in Goertzen’s eyes she isn’t doing anything special, there is no denying the impact she has made at the school. “It has been amazing to watch her growth,” said Debbi McKinnon, the school’s department head for student services. “She is amazing and she has had such a huge impact on the school.” ••••• The Eagles season came to an end last week as they finished 10th at the Fraser Valley Double-A championships. It was the program’s best finish since 1999. Mountain had placed second in their division in the regular season with a 7-3 record.

South Langley Titans’ Arjun Samra dribbles past a pair of Balloholics opponents during the championship final of Basketball B.C.’s U13 Metro League playoffs at the Langley Events Centre Sunday morning. The Titans won 47-33.

Titans take U13 title

The South Langley Titans led from start to finish in capturing their league title. The Titans defeated the Balloholics 47-33 in the championship final of the Basketball B.C.’s U13 Metro League. The game was played on Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. “The boys took the early lead and built on it throughout the game,” said Titans coach Larry Goldsack. “This is a developmental league, so it was nice to see players doing all the right things at the right time. Everyone contributed in a positive way.” As has been the case for much of the season, the offence was led by Arjun Samra. And Matthew Kaita and Liam Roberts keyed a strong defensive effort. The U13 Metro League consists of teams from around the Fraser Valley

and Lower Mainland, with the regular season running from September to February. “I believed that South Langley was the best team in our division and the boys proved it on Sunday,” Goldsack said. The Titans had gone 4-3 in the regular season to finish third but in the semifinals on Feb. 16, they upset the second-place North Langley Wildcats 47-35 to advance. ••••• Tryouts for next year’s Metro team will be held in April. Many of the players in the program have come through the Friday Night Hoops program run out of Brookswood Secondary for players in Grades 3 to 7. For more information, contact jpawar@sd35.bc.ca.

Three qualify for B.C.’s

The Credo Christian Kodiaks and the Langley Christian Lightning finished second and third, respectively, at the Single-A senior girls Fraser Valley championships. The championships were held Feb. 20 to 22 at Unity Christian in Chilliwack. In the championship final, it was the host team beating the Kodiaks 64-51 while in the third-place game, Langley Christian knocked off Agassiz 58-41. Credo Christian’s Saran Eenkhoorn and Langley Christian’s Sarah Kunst both earned all-star awards. The Lightning, who were seeded third at the six-team tournament, beat B.C. Christian Academy 83-17 in their first game and were edged

by a bucket, 46-44 to Credo Christian in the semifinals. Both Langley teams faced wild-card games to see if they would advance to the B.C. provincial Single-A championships, which run March 5 to 8 in Lumby. The Kodiaks defeated Richmond Christian on Monday night by a score of 54-45 to qualify. The Lightning also earned a spot at provincials with a 53-43 victory over Osoyoos on Tuesday night in the other wild-card qualifier game. Sarah Kunst led the way with 18 points and eight steals. ••••• The Walnut Grove Gators have earned a spot in the first-ever B.C. provincial Quad-A basketball championships.

The Gators senior boys basketball team is assured of a top-four finish in the Fraser Valley championships after blowing out the MEI Eagles 93-55 in the quarter-finals on Monday night at Walnut Grove Secondary. The Gators, the top seed in the tournament, now face the No. 4 Gleneagle Talons on Friday night at 6:30 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre. The other semifinal pits the No. 2 Tamanawis Wildcats versus the No. 3 Holy Cross Crusaders. The top six teams will play at the provincial championships, which run March 12 to 15 at the LEC. This is the first year there has been a Quad-A level for the province’s largest schools.

OU R STO RY At four months of age, our daughter Maya underwent open-heart surgery. Following the operation, her heart stopped beating for 22 minutes. But thanks to the quick actions of the doctors and nurses on staff that day at the B.C. Children’s Hospital, they were able to save our little girl. Maya, who turns four in June, still needs another open-heart surgery in the coming years and is closely followed by the doctors at the hospital several times a year.

OUR GOAL As a way of saying thank you for saving her life, Maya and her family have pledged to raise $100,000 to help the hospital purchase more equipment to help other families.

Rivermen clinch Mainland Division title

GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts

For the first time in 14 years, a Langley junior hockey club has captured a BCHL division title. The Langley Rivermen assured themselves of top spot in the Mainland Division after an 8-5 victory over the Chilliwack Chiefs last week (Feb. 21) at the Langley Events Centre. The last time a Langley junior A club won a division title was the 1999/2000 season when the Hornets took top spot with 84 points (44-12-4). The Rivermen also played the Prince George Spruce Kings to a 3-3 tie in the regular season home finale at the LEC on Sunday afternoon. And the results improved Langley to 35-13-3-5 and their 78 points also have them in contention for the top spot overall in the BCHL. With two games to play, the Rivermen are tied with the Island Division-leading Victoria Grizzlies. Powell River, Penticton and West Kelowna also remain in the hunt with 74 points. Powell River has three games to play and the other two squads have two. While qualifying for the playoffs was step two, winning the division is the second step towards the ultimate goal of winning a national championship. “All part of the process,” said Rivermen head coach and general manager Bobby Henderson. “Obviously it is a nice recognition but the players have bigger

key has been to the team’s consistency. “Collectively we have a bunch of different pieces of the puzzle and they all bring something different.” The Rivermen’s success starts from their goaltending as they sit tied for second in the league in

the 32 Fraser Valley teams and after winning their first game by forfeit, the Gators made the final eight with a 4726 win over Pitt Meadows. The Gators then edged No. 10 Panorama Ridge 60-52 in the quarter-finals but lost 45-29 to the No. 3 W.A. Fraser Falcons. Semiahmoo had entered the Fraser Valleys as the top seed. The Brookswood Bobcats placed eighth at the Fraser Valleys. The ’Cats, who were seeded eighth, beat No. 25 Southridge 29-24 and No. 9 Westview 43-38 in a pair of games last week at Brookswood Secondary. They lost 45-37 in the quarter-finals to Semi-

ahmoo, 45-21 to Eugene Reimer and then 55-28 to Tamanawis. ••••• After winning their first two games at the Fraser Valley regional championships, the Langley Christian Grade 8 girls team went 0-3 in the championship round to finish eighth out of the 32 teams. The Lightning — who were seeded seventh — won their first two games last week, 43-19 over Seaquam and 3734 over Abbotsford Middle. Both games were at Langley Christian. But down to the final eight at Maple Ridge Secondary, the Lightning lost 48-30 to Sullivan, 45-28 to G.W. Graham and 41-39 to the Howe Bulldogs.

goals against, allowing 2.70 goals per game. They are also fifth in goal differential at plus-42. In the game against the Chiefs, the Rivermen played uncharacteristically, getting involved in a back-and-forth shootout. “Chilliwack has been opening up things lately,” Henderson said.

“It wasn’t ideal for our team to play like that, but we were able to pick up the win. “But that is not the way we want to play in the playoffs.” Langley trailed briefly 1-0 but led 3-1 after one and 6-4 after 40 minutes. Both Evan Anderson and Matt Ustaski picked up hat tricks in the victory while Viktor Dombrovskiy had three assists. Tyson Witala and Kevan Kilistoff had a goal and a helper apiece. Against the Spruce Kings, the Rivermen had to settle for one point, despite a dozen shots on goal in overtime. Henderson felt the team should have won in regulation. “But at the end of the day, we picked up a point against a tough team,” he said. Ustaski, Witala and Anderson had the goals while Brock Crossthwaite stopped 34 of 37 shots he faced. The Rivermen close the regular season with a pair of road games tonight (Thursday) and Friday (Feb. 28) at the Prince George Coliseum. ••••• Round one of the Mainland Division semifinals get underway with the Rivermen hosting the Surrey Eagles. Games one and two of the bestof-seven series are March 4 and 5 at the Langley Events Centre, before the series shifts to the South Surrey Arena for games three and four on March 7 and 8.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Can Toyota’s Tundra ride alongside heavyweight brands like Ford, GM or Ram?

Tugging at the tails of top selling trucks Sum If there is one segment of the auto business that takes dynamite to get people to change brands, it’s the full-size pickup truck category, I’m sure most of us know of someone who is a “Ford guy” or The Tundra is “Chevy diehard” owner, even as capable as and getting him or her to move to a new many of the domestic truck would be almost brands but in some impossible. ways it still has a way It wasn’t until the last to go to truly be an Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that alternative to Ford, Toyota was a real conGM and Ram. tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 Zack Spencer model are designed, engineered and even built in America, helping to pull loyal domestic buyers away. The Tundra is even as capable as many of the domestic brands but in some ways it still has a way to go to truly be an alternative to Ford, GM and Ram.

‘‘

’

is a step up from the lower trims but not nearly as supple and luxurious as the new batch of interiors from Ram and GM. Those trucks, in particular, have almost luxury-sedan interiors that make the driver forget they are in a truck. The Tundra, in comparison, is a bit stark, featuring a hard, simple plastic dash and door pieces that don’t compare. The centre screen is smaller than many competitors are, and the screen embedded in the instrument cluster is small. What has been improved is the overall layout of the centre console. The back seat is massive and flips up with just one hand to make room for interior storage. I found the last Tundra to have a very high seating position that limited headroom. This new 2014 seems to have a better seating position, no longer crimping headroom for taller drivers. Drive Powering the Tundra are two V8 gasoline engines. The base model has a 4.6L V8 with 310hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The larger 5.7L has 381hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one area that the Toyota cannot compete; there is no V6 offered and no diesel (Ram only), which the domestic makers do offer. By limiting the available engine options and not having a heavy-duty model that will certainly diminish the

Looks As part of the 2014 redesign, Toyota went about setting up a slightly different look for each of its trim levels. Sold as an SR5, Limited and Platinum, each has a variation of the oversized front grille. The wheel openings are now larger and squarer, framing wheel sizes ranging from 18-inches on the SR5 and Limited and 20-inches on the Platinum. The Tailgate has a soft open feature, stopping it from slamming down, that is fantastic but there is no side step or ladder into the bed the way Ford and the new GM trucks have. Sold as a regular car, double cab or Crew Cab, there is a model for most buyers.

Verdict The Tundra is a capable truck. When equipped it can tow up to 4760 kg, which is on the high side in this class. What surprised me the most was the real “trucky” ride. I have had extensive seat time in all three domestic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic. The Lowdown Power: 4.6L V8 with 310hp or 5.7L V8 with 381hp Fill-up: 15.8L/11.0L/100km (city/highway 5.6L) Sticker price: $26,750-$54,000

number of domestic buyers willing to give Tundra a try. On the road, I was surprised at just how rough the ride is in comparison to the all-new GM trucks, which really are like driving a big sedan. I would also place the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 a very close second in ride comfort. The Tundra is choppy on rough roads and the noise level is on the high side. Toyota claims to have improved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride.

Volvo circles the wagon for success Las Vegas, Nevada – Volvo is hitching some of its revival hopes to a wagon – the 2015 Volvo V60 Sportswagon. Its grille is clearly all-Volvo but those typically boxy looks that characterized the make from your dad’s day are gone. In looks it’s a design variation of the S60 sedan and it will be a welcome sight for loyalists of the Swedish brand, having witnessed the demise here of the V50 and midsize V70 wagons. The wagon featured recently along with the S60 and XC60 crossover at a launch event in the Nevada desert. The Volvo execs present proudly talked about their new Drive-E powertrains, developed thanks to the megabucks available now that the company is owned by the Chinese Geely Automotive. Ford ownership may now be retreating in Volvo’s rearview mirror but it is still beholden to the US manufacturer for the platforms upon which these three 2015 models ride. That will change later this year when the full-size XC90 crossover is set to sit atop Volvo’s so-called Scalable Product Architecture platform.

Here in the Great White Model year 2014 saw a North, just the two gas enrefresh of all three midsize gines will be offered initially Volvo models showing in the – the new turbocharged T5 desert so this was truly about pumps out 240 horsepower, the new engines.

comments on the crossover until I’ve had a chance to put it through its paces in BC. However, I got much more seat time in the V60 and S60 (S60 with T5 $37,750. T6 $42,850), taking in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Valley of Fire state park and Red Rock Canyon. The T5-equipped wagon is a smooth operator in performance and ride. And while you won’t burn rubber at the green light, it will take off when necessary . . . not that we got any chance to pass in the low speed limit state park! Volvo says it will hit 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds if given the lead foot treatment. (The T6 in sedan tells a slightly racier story. Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating but only a little and I look forward pressing the pedal to the metal where I can legally do so.) The T5 fuel economy ratings fare well in comparison with the market competition – 9.4/6.3/8.1 L/100km (city/hwy/combined). These numbers are squeezed out of the power plant with the help of the standard engine stop/ start system and the efficient new eight-speed transmission, which slips into a neutral coasting mode when you lift your foot off the gas. Inside, the instrument panel stretches the span of the car and features an attractive floating centre console, which

mixes good looks with functionality. Swedes are safety conscious, of course, and that means lane change, cross traffic, blind spot warnings and alerts. The front seating is comfortable if a little soft on a long drive. Rear seating ditto and headroom is good despite the coupe-style slope of the rear. And a good view of the road fore, fore aft and side is enjoyed by all. Great stowage room in the rear. The 40/20/40 split second row folds flat to provide enough space to move a small apartment’s furniture. Just kidding but you get the picture. 2015 Volvo V60 Sportwagon

Drives-U-Crazy . . . snow way to drive The recent snowstorms have brought out the best and the worst in B.C. drivers. I would be a millionaire if I had a dollar for every person I’ve watched over-rev a car in a futile bid to escape the combined clutches of snow and ice. If your car is not shod for the winter weather, then stay home or take a cab. Otherwise, take off slowly in a higher gear than you would in dry weather. You will stand a lot more chance of gaining traction and less reliant on those good people who dig you out! What drives-u-crazy?
