Driver injured in dramatic car-bus crash MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

SHANE MACKICHEN photo

Township firefighters responded to a crash at 200 Street and 32 Avenue during the noon hour on Tuesday, after a Toyota drove underneath the back end of a school bus. The bus was not carrying any students at the time of the crash. The driver of the car suffered only minor injuries, while her two passengers escaped unharmed.

Miraculously, the driver of a Toyota car has only minor injuries after the vehicle’s front end became pinned underneath a school bus on Tuesday. There were no students on board when the Toyota rear-ended the southbound school bus as it slowed for a red light at 200 Street and 32 Avenue around noon. The car went under the back of the bus and became pinned. Of the three occupants in the vehicle, two were able to exit uninjured, however the driver remained trapped for a short time while Langley Township firefighters

worked to get the person out. She was freed from the vehicle and taken to hospital for treatment of what are believed to be minor injuries, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. Three ambulances waited near the scene, as it looked like there would be more injuries involved. The male driver of the school bus was uninjured but obviously shaken up. Langley RCMP Client Support and Victim Services are providing their assistance. If you witnessed the collision and have not yet spoken to police, call Langley RCMP at 604-5323200.

Coulter Berry hearing set for third night AS OF TUESDAY, ABOUT 300 HAD SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON CONTROVERSIAL BUILDING DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

After the first two nights of public hearings on a proposal to revive the stalled Coulter Berry project, more than 250 people had spoken with another 60 still waiting. Council voted to hold a third hearing on Wednesday night, which took place after The Times press deadline. So far, people who support the controversial three-storey building have outnumbered opponents roughly two-to-one, but the percentage of those speaking against the project was increasing as the hearings continued. Staff at the Township municipal

hall were better prepared for the larger-than-normal turnout after being swamped by an overflow crowd the previous week during public hearings on the Brookswood community plan. Then, the hearings had to be hastily relocated to accommodate the hundreds of people who exceeded the maximum allowable crowd in the council chambers after a video feed to an outside foyer failed to function. For Coulter Berry, there were working video and monitors placed outside the council chambers and on the second floor. And staff with counters monitored the numbers in the chambers. More than 140 people spoke Monday

night, and over 100 on Tuesday. During the first evening, the people who want Coulter Berry built praised it for being a quality design that will add much-needed housing and underground parking to the Fort Langley core, while opponents said Coulter Berry would be a great project anywhere but Fort Langley, because it will destroy the small-town feel of the community. “I need Coulter Berry,” said supporter Fred Jackson, a disabled man who likes the design because it includes wheelchair-friendly suites. “Most towns would beg for this building,” said another supporter, Kevin Speilman.

James Hansen called the building “the most [environmentally] sustainable building Langley has ever seen.” Elaine Brewer-White, a supporter, was one of several speakers to say the issue has divided the community. “There has been so much animosity in my town . . . I hate all the division that’s going on.” said Brewer-White, who said people need to regain their sense of humour. Another Coulter Berry supporter, Laura Murphy said “it breaks my heart that the town is so divided now,” adding “let’s just be people and love each other again.” Continued Page 4

Butorac will face three separate trials MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Langley serial killer Davey Butorac will be back in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster on April 17, to fix dates for new trials for murdering two sex trade workers. In October, 2013, Butorac was granted new trials, after winning an appeal of his conviction, for murdering two sex trade workers. The 35-yearold Aldergrove man had been found guilty in 2010 of murdering Gwendolyn Lawton, 46, of Abbotsford in March 2007 and

Sheryl Koroll, 50, of Langley on July 7, 2007. Lawton’s body was found on March 13, 2007 in a rural area of Abbotsford, while Koroll’s body was found in an industrial area of Langley City the morning of July 7, 2007. The convictions were set aside by the appeals court on the basis that the trial judge erred in accepting “the evidence of each murder as similar fact evidence with respect to the other.” Butorac’s lawyer had argued before the initial trial that the two murder counts should be

separated. The judge disagreed. DNA of the victims found in Butorac’s car and on his shoe led to his original conviction. Butorac was sentenced to 23 years in prison for the murders. Also this year, he will go to trial for the second-degree murder of Aldergrove’s Margaret Redford, whose body was found floating in Bertrand Creek in Aldergrove on May 20, 2006. Jury selection for that trial had been planned for last February, but was postponed until November and now is scheduled to take place this year.

Chris Roper said hostility has reached a point where he and his business partner “felt negatively impacted just for speaking out for Coulter Berry.” Connie Blundy of the Fort Langley Community Association said the group “is just as divided” as the rest of the community, but remained “steadfast” in its criticism of the way the Township is handling development in the village. Supporter Darcy Rezac complained opponents were “misleading the public” in a recent anti-Coulter Berry newspaper graphic that he said inflated the size of the building by 25 per cent to make it look bigger than the community heritage hall. Opponents of Coulter Berry blasted the project as a “monolith,” “obnoxious” and a “monstrosity” that would set a precedent leading to other oversize structures. “We’re poised at the top of a slippery slope,” said Lynda Lightfoot. “It’s too damn high and it takes up too much space,” Bob Armstrong said. A 1,400-name petition was filed against the project by Andy Schildhorn, one of the people involved in the court action that halted work on the building for exceeding size limits for the area. In making that ruling, the judge declared the Township could legally approve the project through a rezoning, which developer Eric Woodward has applied for. Another of the people who

launched that lawsuit, Harold Whittell, hinted the attempt to resurrect the project could result in another court case. Whittell filed a transcript of the Supreme Court proceedings that led to the stop-work order at the Monday hearing, saying the height limits “are still applicable” and cannot be legally amended. Many of those against the project were concerned it will damage the heritage character of a town several described as the “birthplace of B.C.” and an important historic site. “We like Fort Langley the way it is,” Mike McManus said. During the second night of the public hearing, opponents called on council to reject the amended Coulter Berry design because it still exceeds design limits for the area. “I encourage you not to double down on a bad decision,” said Graham Fraser. Supporters said it was time to get on with the project, which was halted during excavation of its underground parkade. “A building is better than a hole any day, three stories or not,” said supporter Andrew Cleary. Colleen Boivin said Fort Langley needs the boost to its economy that Coulter Berry will provide. “It [the village] is not thriving,” Boivin said. “Seventeen businesses in the last two years have gone broke.” Several opponents suggested a trimmed-down building would win their approval, several suggesting the ceiling heights on each floor could be cut by a few feet.

“Take eight feet off this thing [overall], and a lot of your opposition will disappear,” said Jeremy Smith. Supporters said the height will not hurt the community, with Scott Cave observing that “when people come to Fort Langley, it’s not because they love the one- and two-storey buildings.” More speakers expressed dismay about the divisions within the Fort Langley community over Coulter Berry. Matt Choquette, owner of Beatnix described it as a “civil war.” The division was evident in council chambers during the Tuesday night hearing, with supporters sitting on one side and opponents on the other. While the tone was generally civil, there were moments that drew reprimands from Mayor Jack Froese, who more than once had to warn speakers against making personal remarks. Heckling could be heard at times, such as the moment one opponent could be heard calling a pro-Coulter Berry speaker a “twit” for praising the project. The Coulter Berry project is scheduled to come back to council on Monday, March 31, the same night the Brookswood community plan will return for more debate. Anticipating that there will be a larger-than-normal turnout, Township staff have booked the Christian Life Assembly at 21277 56 Ave. for the 7 p.m. meeting. Christian Life Assembly can accommodate about 1,400 people.

Bob Kuhn named president of Trinity Western University Trinity Western University announced Tuesday that Bob Kuhn will be its fourth president and vice chancellor. Kuhn has served as the university’s interim president since July 2013. “After 52 years of growth and miraculous accomplishments, Trinity Western University has found its place as a leader among the ranks of Christian higher education,” Kuhn said. “Whether it be in groundbreaking research or by winning championships in elite collegiate sports, TWU has consistently proven that it punches above its weight in transformational university education, maintaining a global impact of significance. I couldn’t be more proud of being an alumnus, and now the president, of such an extraordinary university.” Kuhn’s appointment to a five-year term follows the unanimous recommendation by the presidential search committee, which conducted a comprehensive search over the past eight months for the best person to as-

sume the position of president. The time he spent gaining The committee was made up of insight and knowledge from a broad representation of TWU students, faculty, staff, parconstituencies. ents, and alumni culminated “In his role as interim presinto the development of a draft ident, Kuhn has made signifstrategy framework — the New icant progress in developing Era — that outlines the way a vision of not just what TWU forward for the institution.

In the midst of some significant podents. “My approach is relational,” said Kuhn. litical and social challenges to TWU’s core “To me, it’s less about the presidency and identity as a Christian institution of higher more about building relationships with the learning, and with growing tension within broad spectrum of constituents that form Canadian society, Kuhn has proven to be a case of the right person, in the right place, the Trinity community.”

at the right time, the board feels. “His life experience, professional, community, and alumni contacts, and collaborative and relational leadership style are what TWU requires at this point in its institutional life,” said Funk. As interim president, Kuhn has not only infused the TWU campus with hope and encouragement, he has also led the legal and very public battle over the University’s proposed law school with strength, compassion, and grace. A graduate of UBC School of Law and a practicing lawyer for over 33 years, Kuhn is no stranger to leadership at Trinity Western. He served as student body president from 1971-72 and, in 2001, Kuhn led TWU’s legal team all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, successfully defending TWU’s Teacher Education Program vs. the BC College of Teachers. He will be formally inaugurated as president in September.

Few survivors left to share truth From Page 7

it was true. His parents had been gassed. After four months of living the atrocities inside Auschwitz, he knew what that soldier said was true. Ehrlich said he watched many parents throw themselves on the electrified bobwire, unable to live knowing what had happened to their children. He was put to work six days a week and only given 600 calories of food a day. “They were starving us to death,” he said. The only reason he didn’t starve is because he volunteered

to wash the dishes of a soldier who left food on his plate. He remembers also a warehouse called Canada. It was perceived as the “land of milk and honey.” It housed jewels, mounds of toys, some food, clothing all taken from the murdered Jews. In January 1945, Auschwitz was evacuated and prisoners were sent on a three-day death march. “It was called the March of Death” because soldiers shot anyone who fell.” He was told two of his brothers were shot

in that march. Shortly after getting to the new camp, they were liberated by Americans and the war was over. Elrlich weighed 87 pounds. He tried to go to his home in Romania.He opened the door and a blonde women stood at the sink, doing dishes. She turned around and asked him “What do you want?” He ran out crying, never to look back. He made his way to Canada, as a war orphan, fudging his age to get here. Ehrlich said he has had a good life, obtained a good pro-

fession, married, had three successful sons and grandchildren. But for 20 years after the war, no one spoke of the Holocaust, even the survivors. There are still some out there denying the Holocaust happened, or trying to alter the history. He decided to start telling his story, as a living witness to the atrocities of the Holocaust. But many survivors are no longer alive to tell their stories, to bring home the truths so horrific that they need to be told, so we never forget and never, ever repeat.

Hearings continue

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.

One public hearing has ended, and another is well underway, and may be concluded by the time this newspaper is distributed. The Brookswood Fernridge Community Plan hearing took place over three days last week, and involved a change of venue to the George Preston Recreation Centre. Most speakers opposed the plan, although there was some modest support for some elements of it. Langley Township council will now consider the comments made at the hearing and decide whether or not to proceed. No matter what the council decision is, there is no doubt this plan has caught the attention of many area residents. Hopefully, this look at how Township business is conducted will encourage most of them to take part in this fall’s municipal election, where council members will be elected for four-year terms for the first time. Now the Coulter Berry public hearing has started. The first day’s testimony was somewhat anti-climactic, as many of the speakers spoke only briefly, and most were in favour. As this matter has been contentious for an extended period of time, many comments to council were expected. They were usually reasonable and to the point, as compared to much of the rhetoric exchanged by the two sides. Day two on Tuersday saw more opponents speak, and the hearing was scheduled to continue on Wednesday night. It seems unlikely that the Coulter Berry rezoning will not proceed. Only two members of council have indicated any opposition to the revised plan, and the judge who stopped work on the project last fall said a rezoning was likely the best way to proceed.

Admitted problem gambler Joyce Ross said her lawsuit against the BC Lottery Corporation was not about recouping her own losses, but exposing flaws in BCLC’s voluntary-exclusion gamblers program to protect others in future. But with all due deference, it’s hard to see the North Delta woman’s recent lawsuit, in which she alleged she lost $78,000 at Surrey’s Fraser Downs and Langley’s Cascades Casinos between 2007 and 2010 — in spite of having signed herself into the voluntary exclusion program — as more than another gamble that failed to pay off. It is churlish to want to crow at another’s misfortune. Gambling has been identified as an addiction, and those unwilling to walk in the shoes of addicts of all kinds, or at least attempt to understand their problems, show a want of empathy. Addiction behaviours — whether linked to gambling, smoking, drinking, soft or hard drugs or other activities — by their very definition have far exceeded the plane where rational decision making enters the picture. By the time someone is classed as an addict, he or she has gone beyond the point of choosing to do something of their own free will, even though those of us who don’t share that particular addiction struggle to understand this. However, B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Truscott, in finding the casinos were not negligent, was right to conclude that gamblers, like Ross, who volunteer for self–exclusion and then try to cheat the system by avoiding detection, should not be given special treatment. He said it was Ross’ primary responsibility to stay out of the casinos. In a practical sense, as he pointed out, to award her money because she was in the self-exclusion program would only encourage other gamblers to join the program to make similar claims. Rather than suing BCLC, Ross’ best hope of changing the system would be to run for provincial office on an anti-gambling platform. Then she would participate in a forum directly with the unseen partner in all problem gambling scenarios, and the biggest problem gambler in B.C. — all BCLC disclaimers and admonitions to “know your limit and stay within it” notwithstanding. The principal enabler and beneficiary of problem gambling, liquor and tobacco consumption among the people of B.C. is the provincial government, and it seems unwilling, and unable, to kick the habit of the revenues it gathers from others’ addictions. — Peace Arch News

Do you support urbanization of Brookswood and Fernridge? 155 Responded YES 12% NO 88%

Thursday, March 13, 2014 9

Eye-opening pleas Editor: The weight of all the heartfelt presentations about development in Brookswood/ Fernridge has left me with a whole new appreciation of my home community. I have taken its beauty for granted. Then I heard my neighbours say, some in tears, how much the open spaces and natural beauty mean to them and their families. This has opened my eyes to the gem we have here in South Langley. The biggest concerns seem to be the effects that tripling the population would have on the aquifer, traffic, nature and the spirit of the community. Many seemed to be OK with development that would carry on what has started, by breaking up five-acre lots into quarter-acre lots. Any more than that seems to be too much. I remember back in the 1960s and 1970s, how the spirit of the developers was to see how they could build hous-

es in the middle of stands of trees, and disturb the trees as little as possible. Joni Mitchell’s song was popular at that time: “Don’t it always seem to go, That you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” We didn’t want a parking lot then and we don’t want one now. The spirit of Brookswood/ Fernridge is still alive after all these years. If the vote by council is in favour of high-density housing here, it may very well succeed at last in breaking our spirit. If that happens, Langley will have lost a real treasure. Thank you, my dear neighbours, for opening my eyes much wider to the precious community we have. LORIANE FREWING, LANGLEY

‘Awesome’ front page Editor: The front page of the March 6 Times was awesome. Thank you for reporting on this very important topic. If you could continue to do so, especially up until the March 31 meeting of council, it would be greatly appreciated. The only thing I disagree with is the headline on page 5, where it said “two opponents for every supporter.” I think it was more like 80/20 or 90/10

not in favor of the current plan. I’m waiting for the minutes to be posted on the Township website. We plan to make t-shirts, bumper stickers and have signs posted in our windows. Some of us are attending council this week to support Fort Langley too. PAM KEMPS, LANGLEY

Keep roundabout Editor: I have concerns about the potential for increased traffic accidents at 216 Street and 48 Avenue. Langley Township engineering has indicated that the Township may remove the Five Corners roundabout in Murrayville, as a consequence of the Brookswood Plan. That would be a mistake. The roundabout acts as a nat-

ural obstruction that slows traffic at the intersection. A traffic light would result in serious accidents, as was the case before the roundabout was built. Please make sure the roundabout is preserved in any new Brookswood plan. WALLY MARTIN, LANGLEY

DAN FERGUSON Langley Times

Many Brookswood and Fernridge residents are opposed to a proposed community plan that would increase density in their area. There are also questions about the planning process itself, says letter writer B. Cameron.

Many questions remain about planning process Editor: So we’ve been through a three-night public hearing process. This brought about due to the alleged surprise of mayor and councillors at the massive turnout. I suppose they should have had some recollection of the same massive turnout at the open house at Fernridge Hall mere weeks before. The overcrowdings at both this open house and the first public hearing session led to numerous potential attendees leaving without entering. This aside, the residents have spoken and the numbers speak loudly and clearly. Based on those that spoke at the hearings, a 4-1 ratio is in opposition, or 3-1 if you choose to include an expanded rating guide that includes those in support of the plan, but not without modifications. Either way, a clear majority is firmly opposed. So now we will see whom Mayor Jack Froese and Langley Township council will be representing. There are several questions and concerns as to the forthrightness of the Brookswood/Fernridge planning process. These include the steady increase in density with each successive Draft Land Use Plan, the contribution of $500,000 from the Griffith Neighbourhood Advisory Corporation, the speculative and pre-emp-

tive clear cutting of certain landowner properties, the potential damage to the aquifer due to allowed building design, held back information like the planned overpass through Brookswood Park, or the passing of first and second readings prior to holding public hearings. The current Brookswood/Fernridge OCP planning process has been a poster child of mismanagement. Two percent of Langley contains coniferous forests, mostly in Brookswood/Fernridge. Once it is clear cut, it is gone forever. Seventy-five percent of land in Langley Township is within the ALR. Trying to develop Langley like neighbouring communities is quite simply folly. Councillor Bob Long has stated “It’s all about the community coming together and agreeing to a livable plan.” The current plan is clearly not accepted by the community as a livable one. It is now time for Mayor Froese and council to make a decision, a decision for the future of Brookswood/ Fernridge. In democratic societies, majorities rule. Will they be representing the minority with the most to gain, or the majority with the most to lose? This is an overwhelming majority of opposition. Are they listening? B. CAMERON, LANGLEY

alder trees, the trees that gave “Aldergrove” its name. I’m sure the animals in the forest are not aware that their habitat includes these inferior trees. What matters to them is that they have a habitat. Smaller, albeit superior trees, won’t cut it. As for the comments from council, I cringe. One councilor called the forest a “war zone,” possibly making reference to some of the social problems Aldergrove faces. That’s a separate issue that cannot be solved by developing a forest. Let’s not punish the majority for the follies of a few. And the biggest disappointment of all? Once again the controversial pool/ice arena has been brought into the conversation. They say this land is being sold to support the building of the pool. Have they not learned from the Glen Valley experience? Aldergrove residents do not want to be pitted against each other. I support the effort to try and afford a pool for Aldergrove, but please do not do it by selling an urban forest. My hope is that Aldergrove residents will speak up and not give up. This land was intended for our use in some sort of recreational or educational capacity. Council should not sell this forest. JESSICA HORST, ALDERGROVE

public hearing. Many individuals signed a hastily-organized petition, and many, many people did attend the public hearing to register their opposition to this amendment to the OCP. But alas, our voices fell on deaf ears. This land is Aldergrove’s only opportunity to have easy access to a local environmental area within walking distance from our homes and schools. It was intended for everyone to enjoy, but council has now essentially taken a park from us. A development will sit in the middle of this land and although Township Planners advise that 7.7 acres will remain forested, as generous as it may sound, it is them merely following the minimum guidelines put in place to protect streams, tributaries and swamps. In the end, it may be even less, as the owner of a 50-acre property adjacent to this is hoping to develop and connect a road into this development, thereby taking up even more of the forest and green space. The Township doesn’t tell you that the drainage of the property will be altered or that a substantial amount of fill will be required to ready this property for development. A pond, albeit a former slough, will be filled and built on. It neglects to tell us that many of these ‘inferior’ trees they are cutting down are

Editor: Langley Township council has once again ignored a community plan and barreled ahead with its own agenda, despite community opposition. What is the point of a community plan if we do not to follow it? What is the point of a public hearing if council does not listen? Collectively, the residents of Langley Township own a piece of property in Aldergrove through which Bertrand Creek runs. This property is divided — its northern portion contains degraded land and its southern half is forested. It’s a forest which is far superior to what the development company would have us believe, but that’s of no consequence. One-sixth of this land was designated as Educational/Recreational land in the Official Aldergrove Community Plan, and was not intended for development, yet it is now included in their development plans. The Township commissioned a developer, and has likely been working on plans for over a year (a conclusion derived from the fact that the arborist report is from a year ago), then posted development signs during the busiest time of year: Christmas and New Year’s. Residents had only three weeks’ notice of the Township’s intention to alter the OCP and rezone the property before the

An alliance of business groups opposed to the new Multi Material BC recycling system are demanding the province halt the planned May 19 launch and go back to the drawing board. MMBC, an industry stewardship group, is poised to take re s p o n s i b i l i t y for curbside blue box collection — with more containers and material types collected than before — while charging businesses for the recycling of the packaging and paper they generate. But it’s been in a bitter fight with small business groups that complain they are set to pay punishingly high fees, which will then be passed on to consumers. The battle took a new turn Monday, when the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and eight other associations launched a campaign in B.C. newspapers and online at rethinkitbc.ca to amplify the pressure on Victoria. CFIB provincial affairs director Mike Klassen predicted job losses and some business closures as a result of the MMBC regulations and fees. “This is public policy run amok,” he said. “We are asking British Columbians to talk to the B.C. government to push the pause button on its reckless and red tape-laden program.” B.C. Agriculture Council vicechair Stan Vander Waal said farmers can’t readily stop packaging strawberries and blueberries in plastic clamshells, because retailers insist that’s what consumers want. “We have to wear the cost,” he said, adding MMBC fees will cost his Chilliwack farm $60,000 to $100,000 a year. “It goes directly against growing agriculture.”

More accessible Langley Events Centre planned CHANGES PROPOSED TO MAKE FACILITY MORE DISABLED- AND PEDESTR IAN-F RIEN DLY DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

With such a great facility ... there must be a plan in place to make it safe to access LEC for all users or spectators.

The Langley Events Centre (LEC) will become more accessible to people with disabilities, pedestrians and transit riders this summer. The changes to the driveways and sidewalks on the LEC site are part of Township plans to widen the east side of 200 Street and the south side of 80 Avenue which will include finishing the greenways and sidewalks. So said Michael Stang, an engineering technologist with the Township, who was responding to a emailed question

GREG WHITE

from Vancouver resident Greg White, who expressed concern about a lack of access following his visit to the 260,000 sq.ft. facility in November. “Currently LEC, in the absence of a safe sidewalk, is only accessible by a private automobile or taxi,” White said. “The only options for people with a disability, pedestrians or transit users arriving from north of the LEC to be able to access LEC is by illegally crossing all the fast-flowing traffic lanes of 200 Street or walking into or with traffic on the east side of 200 Street, where there is no sidewalk or shoulder,” White

public notice Be Wild Animal Aware The Township of Langley is full of wildlife habitat, and residents share the area with animals including bears, cougars, and coyotes. While residents throughout Langley do not need to be continually on alert, there are a number of actions that can be taken to deter wild animals if they are spotted in your area. Parents are encouraged to educate their children on what to do if they encounter any of these animals, especially if they play by themselves in areas that wildlife frequent or have been seen in the past. To help people coexist with creatures that are simply trying to survive but can be dangerous if provoked, the following information is offered:

Bears: are coming out of three or four months of hibernation this time of year. They are extremely hungry, have lost weight, and are looking for a lot of food. They also have cubs, which the mothers will teach how to hunt and look for food. Baby bears learn from their mothers’ behavior and they are smart animals: don’t let them learn that food can easily be obtained from humans. If you encounter a bear, do not run. Act big and loud, and back away slowly to a safe place.

Cougars: can have kittens throughout the year, and family groups can be seen at any time. They survive on natural food sources found in the wild, primarily deer. Cougar attacks on humans are highly unlikely. However, if you encounter a cougar, do not run. Pick children up immediately and talk to the cougar in a confident voice. Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, fight back.

Coyotes: have the largest population of potentially dangerous wildlife in Langley and can be seen year round, even in residential areas. Pups are born in the spring and are trained to hunt and kill. Coyotes are bold and easily lose their natural fear of people. Never feed a coyote. If you encounter a coyote, scare it off by making loud noise or throwing something at it to make it afraid. Never ignore a coyote. If it continues to approach, do not run. Maintain eye contact, pick up small pets or children, and slowly move to an area of increased activity.

public notices

In Residential Areas: Reduce the smell of food by keeping barbecues clean. Keep pet food inside. Garbage is the biggest attraction for bears so keep it secure and inaccessible to wildlife. Do not leave garbage cans out overnight: keep them in the house, a locked garage, or secured outbuilding that cannot be broken into by large, smart bears. Put them out only on the morning of collection. If you are worried about odour, keep garbage in the freezer until collection day.

Parcel Tax Roll Review for 2014 The 2014 Parcel Tax Roll in respect to frontage/parcel assessment will be held:

WARNING

Date:

Monday, March 24, 2014

Langley has a large deer population

Time:

2:30pm

USE CAUTION ON ROADS

Do not use bird feeders, as they attract bears and the birds do need seeds when other natural food sources are available. Be vigilant with small animals, especially cats, in areas where coyotes are around.

In Agricultural Areas: Protect your investment by keeping fences secure and free of damage that predators can use for access. Coyotes burrow, so ensure surrounding netting goes deep into the ground. Use electric fencing to deter bears from blueberries and beehives, and pick berries and fruit as they ripen. Be vigilant with livestock and keep them secure. Farm animals are usually killed at night, so bring them inside in the evening. It is an offence to attract wildlife into a residential neighbourhood. Those who do not take steps to deter bears and other wild creatures can face a fine of up to $575. To report poachers or polluters or if you have a problem with wildlife call: Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) 1.877.952.7277

‘Muffingate’ shows disinterest in more substantive issues Proceedings here at the B.C. legislature were briefly thrust into the spotlight last week, firing up the radio talk shows and Twitter feeds. No, it wasn’t the BC Liberal government forcing through legislation to allow industrial “research” for things like pipeline routes in provincial parks, or the debate on sanctioned wolf and grizzly kills. It wasn’t the teacher strike vote, as the scripted motions of that ritual combat are well known to weary parents. It was muffins. More specifically, “free” muffins in a newly relocated and equipped MLA lounge, and a rack installed to hold the said muffins at a cost of $733. This was portrayed as part of a spending spree by Richmond East MLA Linda Reid, elected Speaker last summer. In fact it’s just the latest phase of a strikingly expensive refit to provide wheelchair access, which Reid has championed. The new MLA lounge replaces a seldom-used one at the top of steep stairs high in the 1898 stone structure. The new lounge is served by a ramp near the chamber exit to another under-used room in the library, and equipped with big-screen TVs to follow proceedings, similar to those installed in the legislature chamber last year. Everything done here is expensive, from matching ornate woodwork to upgrading ancient plumbing and wiring. But the

Balding for Dollars at SFU A young Langley woman who has been cancer-free for four years is calling on the community for help in her ongoing fight against the disease. Christine Tulloch was diagnosed with leukemia at 19 years old. For the R.E. Mountain graduate, now in her fourth year at Simon Fraser University, one of the more distressing side effects of the illness was the loss of her hair during treatment. “With the cost of medicines being so high, I could not afford a wig when I lost my hair and that took a tremendous toll on my outlook,” said Tulloch, who is mounting an event to benefit Balding for Dollars — the

agency which stepped in an offered her the gift of a wig when she was at her lowest. “That made all the difference in my fight against cancer,” she said. “It gave me the confidence to go outside and not worry about people staring. I also found out recently that they had covered a large portion of cost for my medications when I was in treatments.” The Balding for Dollars event is happening on Wednesday, March 19 from 10 a.m. 4 p.m. on SFU’s main campus on Burnaby Mountain. This event provides teens, students and adults with the opportunity to step into the shoes of a child going

through cancer. Participants will make the commitment to cut their hair or shave their head at the event and in turn they will collect monetary pledges from their friends, family and community. “We shave our heads in support of those children who had the choice taken away. We shave our heads together, on that day, to show that we are all in this fight together. No child shall fight this monster alone,” said Tulloch. All the proceeds raised from this event go directly to the Balding for Dollars organization, which benefits the oncology clinic and ward at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Wheat Belly Live talk at Coast Wheat Belly Live takes place today (Thursday) at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre in Langley City. The presentation features Dr. William Davis, author of Wheat Belly and the Wheat Belly Cookbook, with guest Julie Daniluk, author of Meals That Heal Inflammation. Davis is not promoting a diet, but rather a movement called the wheat-free lifestyle. He will discuss how the changed components of modern wheat stimulate appetite, contribute to the expansion of ab-

dominal fat, trigger autoimmune diseases, and contribute to a wide range of other common health conditions. He will also offer solutions to help people find their way out of the tragedy created by “healthy whole grains,” and regain control of their health. The event is presented by Nature’s Fare Market and Autopoetic Ideas. Tickets are available online at www. naturesfare.com. The event runs from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Councillor Charlie Fox wants the Township to cover the cost of installing flag poles at the renovated Willoughby Community Hall after cost overruns forced the community hall society to trim its budget could make,” Dreise wrote. Flag poles were on the “original list of enhancements” for the hall before the costs went up, the letter stated. It goes on to say the society fully supports the Township installing flag poles as a “finishing touch” to the front of the hall. Councillor Fox said the rebuilt community hall should have proper flag poles. “People are going to be blown away by this hall,” Fox said. “It is truly awesome. Councillor Michelle Sparrow, who recently managed to take an unofficial tour of the inside, agreed, calling the renovated hall “really beautiful.” Councillor Kim Richter suggested the flag poles from the former Township Hall in Mur-

rayville could be moved to the Willoughby hall rather than buying new poles. “That would save some money, I would think,” Richter said. Other members of council were not enthusiastic about the idea. “It’s like taking something that’s bent, straightening it and saying that’ll do,” said Councillor Grant Ward. Councillor Bob Long thought the Township should get the federal and provincial governments to chip in for two of the three poles. The vote to pay for the poles passed 8-1 with Richter opposed. After paying for the flag poles, staff estimate about $150,000 will remain in the contingency fund.

Cost overruns on the Willoughby Community Hall renovations meant there wasn’t enough money to cover the cost of flag poles at the heritage building. Councillor Charlie Fox convinced the rest of Township to fix the problem at the Feb. 24 afternoon council meeting by taking $15,000 from a municipal contingency fund. The money will pay for three poles to fly the Canadian, B.C. and Township flags at the front corner of the hall site at 83 Avenue and 208 Street. The hall, built in 1937, was recently relocated on its site to a new foundation to make room for the Athenry Gate development next door. Renovations funded by the Willoughby Community Hall Society have included a washroom, an additional outside entrance for the basement, new kitchen appliances and refinishing the main floor. But there have been cost overruns, as detailed in a Feb. 23 letter to Township council from society board of directors president Karl Dreise. The include a higher-than-expected insurance bill for the building move and renovations, revisions to the architectural drawings for basement addons and creation of a fire plan that together added more than $8,000 in expenses. “These were essentially paper costs which took away from the physical improvements we

BLUNDELL FAMILY IN NEED OF FINANCIAL HELP TO GET BACK ON THEIR FEET, SAY SUPPORTERS MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

monday – friday after 4pm and all day weekends. Valid for kids 12 years and under. Dine-in only.

Friends rally to help couple who lost son to cancer Keian Blundell may be gone from this world, but family, friends and even strangers are making sure his memory stays alive. Through a heavy snow storm, family and friends along with numerous firefighters from two different cities moved the Blundells from their hospital-paid apartment in Vancouver to a rental place in Coquitlam two weeks ago. “The volunteers formed a human assembly line unloading the boxes from the moving truck into the suite. It was quite the sight in the snow,” said friend Heather Beckley. “Friends donated sandwiches, cookies, muffins and coffee for the helpers and everyone was in great spirits despite the sobering reason for the move.” Other friends had held a raffle this past month, raising more than $2,000 for the Blundells. Last summer, Langley residents broke a record bringing in a parking lot full of recyclables to help the Blundells. More than $30,000 was raised online for them last year.

Su bmitte d pho to

Friends and family volunteered their time and muscles recently, to help Langley’s Blundell family move to a new home in Coquitlam following the loss of their six-year-old son and brother, Keian, to cancer. Keian was only six when he died of cancer on New Year’s Day. His parents Chantal and Ryan stayed by his side for more than a half a year, leaving their life in Langley behind. But many friends remain here.

The Blundells are emotionally incapable of working right now but they have no money and another son to raise, say friends. If you want to help them, donations can be sent directly to Ryan and Chantal through teamkeian@gmail.com.

Elegance and unique floorplans at Mason&Green Modern Tudor-style architecture and a great location are combined in Langley’s Willoughby neighbourhood with Mason&Green, a collection of two- and three-bedroom townhomes from Polygon that have already been extremely popular. “These are beautiful floorplans,” says sales manager Theresa Liljedahl. “It’s a new and unique design.” These new floorplans include side-by-side garages for the added convenience of never having to move one car to get the

other out, and powder rooms on the main floor. Oversized windows let in tons of natural light, while ninefoot ceilings on the main floor contribute to the sense of spaciousness. Laminate wood flooring is included throughout the living areas, with plush carpeting in the bedrooms and on the stairs. Other gorgeous features include engineered stone countertops in the kitchen, complemented by contemporary custom-crafted flat-panel laminate cabinetry in gloss white or

graphite vertical wood grain. The kitchen island perfect for entertaining or family gatherings is a focal point of the space. The bathrooms are luxurious, with a spacious walk-in shower with glass door in the ensuite and bathtub with ceramic tile surround in the main bathroom. Designerselected laminate countertops with an integrated backsplash are featured in both, as well as custom-designed flat-panel laminate cabinetry in the same colour schemes as the kitchen. Mason&Green is within easy access to shopping, dining and services at Willoughby Town Centre, as well as an elementary school directly next door. Homeowners at Mason&Green will have access to The Maples Club, an 8,400-square-foot amenities building with an outdoor patio area with BBQ, resort-style pool and whirlpool, fitness studio, great room with fireplace and more. The first phase sold quickly, and Liljedahl says that the second phase will open for sale on March 22nd at noon. Homes at Mason & Green start at $314,900. For more information, check out www.polyhomes.com, call 604-8825382 or visit the presentation centre at 7848 209th Street, open daily except Friday between noon and 6 p.m.

The Rockwoods, Anthem Properties’ first townhome development, features West Coast contemporary-style architecture, above, and gourmet kitchens with stainlesssteel appliances and polished granite countertops, middle right. The homes are built in an open-plan layout, with large windows, right, and plenty of space to entertain or relax, below right. Homeowners will have access to amenities building The Rockwoods Club, above right.

Something a little different at The Rockwoods Anthem Properties is bringing something special to Surrey’s Fleetwood neighbourhood with The Rockwoods, a collection of two- and three-bedroom townhomes that truly has something for everyone. “This is Anthem’s first townhome property,” says Director of Marketing Peter Edmonds. “We wanted something that stood out, something a little different.” Built in a West Coast contemporary architecture style, The Rockwoods combines stonework and timber in one beautiful exterior package. “There’s a nice balance here,” says Edmonds. “People recognize classic architecture, but this is something different. You have to execute contemporary well, as I

strongly believe we’ve done here.” German-engineered wide-plank wood laminate flooring is included throughout the living areas, while plush carpeting is featured in the bedrooms and dens. Huge 9’8” ceilings make the homes feel even more open. The floorplans are spacious, ranging from 1,189 to over 1,400 square feet. The gourmet kitchens include polished granite countertops complemented by stainless-steel appliances, contemporary flat-panel cabinetry and a designer tile backsplash. Select homes have a kitchen island or pantry with an integrated work station. The ensuite bathroom have their own polished granite countertops and flat-panel cabinetry. Porcelain tile flooring complements the ceramic tile surrounds and contemporary glass shower surround or soaker tub. The Rockwoods is perfectly situated to take advantage of everything the Fleetwood neighbourhood has to offer, including dining, shopping, education, leisure and recreation opportunities.

“It’s very well-connected,” says Edmonds. “We wanted to create a community in what is already established.” Homeowners will also have access to The Rockwoods Club, a 4,500-square-foot amenities building with a fully equipped gym, kitchen, entertainment lounge and much more. There will also be a children’s playground, community gardens and landscaped grounds and walking trails in the community. “The amenities are really an extension of your living space,” says Edmonds. The second phase of homes at The Rockwoods was recently released, and Edmonds notes that there has already been huge interest. “The first release of second phase homes has been incredibly successful,” he says. Homes at The Rockwoods start in the low $300s. For more information, check out www.rockwoodsliving.com, call 604-5031188 or visit the presentation centre 8473 163rd Street, Surrey, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

Earning her wings GARY AHUJA Times Reporter

Creativity has always been a part of Sari Vaananen’s life. As a child, she used to make closets for her Barbie dolls out of shoeboxes. She has done fine art photography, made handcrafted baby items, and has worked on what she calls mocha mitts, which is a coffee sleeve designed out of fabric. And she is hoping one of her latest ventures, Shoe Shinez, could be the one. “I can really see it taking off — pun intended — if it gets into the right hands,” said the 45-year-old artist who lives in Walnut Grove. “I have been told I am creative … I am yet to buy that myself,” she said with a laugh.

I can really see it taking off — pun intended — if it gets into the right hands. SARI VAANANEN

Shoe Shinez is an idea she came up with in 2011. “We decorate every other part of ourselves, why not our shoes,” she said. The idea came after she started her small embroidery home business in 2010. The mother of four — daugh-

ters Melissa and Emily are 19 and 15, respectively, and sons Eric and Markus are 17 and 13 — was on set of the TV show Level Up. Eric had a recurring role on the show and Vaananen was bored one day on set and decided to wander over to the wardrobe room to see if she could be of use. The show was working on a magic flying boot episode and she was commissioned to make eight pairs or rainbow-coloured embroidered wings for the flying boots. After the episode aired, it sparked interest in her product, which is described as shoe embellishments. She now creates ‘wings’ for shoes — in different designs — that can be removed. Vaananen began by giving the product away on movie sets — including giving a pair away to Daniel Radcliffe. “I thought that would be a good test market,” she said. “I was giving them away just to see what people would do with them and see if there was an opporEMILY MCNAMEE Submitted Photos tunity to embellish one’s shoes.” And somewhere along Sari Vannanen is hoping some exposure from the Academy Awards earlier this the way, Hollywood has month will help her business Shoe Shinez soar.

Well, lookie here. One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion. That’s deﬁnitely not democracy in action. The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to ofﬂoad the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

The Langley Times www.langleytimes.com

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected ofﬁcials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board. That’s gotta tell you something. Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at premier@gov.bc.ca or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC. This Message is brought to you by:

DAN FERGUSON Langley Times

Langley’s Peter Faitl was one of the 128 participants who took part in the 10K portion of the annual Golden Ears Half Marathon and 10K race on Sunday, March 9. Faitl was the top male finisher in the event, completing the race in 38:31 while Port Coquitlam’s Tina Connelly was tops among all female competitors, finishing in 39:16. The race began in Pitt Meadows, crossed over the Golden Ears Bridge into Langley and then back over the bridge to Pitt Meadows. Another 103 runners took part in the half marathon portion of the event. Langley’s Matthew Hidasi was tops in a time of 1:20.56 and North Vancouver’s Cheryl Orlovsky was the first female across the line in 1:25.29. For full results, visit www.peninsularunners.com/events/goldenears.htm.

Spartans shock Clan, make finals The Trinity Western Spartans pulled off the upset, knocking off the Simon Fraser Clan to advance to the championship series. JP Villeneuve scored a hat trick and Silas Matthys stopped 40 of the 41 shots he faced as the Spartans beat the Clan 4-1 on Sunday in game three of the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League semifinal series. The Spartans had won game one last week 3-2 but the Clan stayed alive with a 2-0 game two victory. The first game was at the Langley Events Centre while games two and three were at Burnaby’s Bill Copeland Arena. The Clan (19-3-0-2, 40 points) finished 19 points ahead of the Spartans (10-13-0-1, 21 points) in the standings. “Our guys were determined to outwork the talent and we got a great result because of it,” said Spartans coach Barret Kropf. “We’re a bunch of guys with our lunch buckets and willing to go to work from Silas all the way out. “There was a full effort from all 20 guys tonight and we’re pretty excited from the program.” Jamie Russell had opened the

scoring in game three. For the series, Villeneuve had five of his team’s seven goals, while Matthys stopped 110 of the 115 shots he faced, a save percentage of .957. The victory advances the Spartans to face the top-seed Selkirk Saints in the BCIHL championship series. The best-of-three series is set for March 14 to 16 with the games all at the Castelgar Recreation Centre. The Spartans also picked up some major year-end awards. Villeneuve was named the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League’s rookie of the year and the forward was also the co-recipient of the league’s most valuable player award. He shared that honour Selkirk Saints’ Logan Proulx. And Kropf was a co-recipient of the league’s coach of the year award, sharing with Selkirk’s Jeff Dubois. Villenueve carried the Spartans offensively during his first season or university hockey, finishing third in the league in goals with 21 and seventh in points with 33. Both of those numbers were

tops among all rookies. He also had five multi-goal games over the season, including five in one game on Jan. 25 against the Victoria Vikes. Kropf was in his first season behind the bench for the Spartans and the team improved by four wins and seven points over the season before, jumping from last place to third place. He is the first coach to win the award in both the BCIHL and the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. Kropf won in that league in 2005/06 while coaching at Briercrest. The team also landed two players on the league all-star team. Villeneuve was named a first team all-star while defenceman Blair Murphy was a second team selection. ••••• Sabrina Nettey was named the Canadian Interuniversity Sport female athlete of the year. She received the award last week, prior to the start of the CIS indoor track and field championships in Edmonton and she became the first member of the Trinity Western Spartans track

and field program to win a CIS award. “Sabrina’s record-breaking effort in long jump is a testament to her ability to perform when it matters,” said Spartans coach Laurier Primeau She won gold in the long jump and helped the Spartans to an all-time best third-place finish. Emma Nuttall broke a CIS record in the high jump, clearing 1.88m to win gold. “It was such a relief,” exclaimed Nuttall. “I knew I had that jump in me. I really wanted to come in here this weekend, win gold and set the record. I wanted it at the Canada West championships, but it wasn’t meant to be then. It was a wee bit nerve-wracking, but once I got the support of the crowd tonight, I really fed off that energy, and I knew I could make the jump.” Sarah Inglis also won gold in the 1500m while Fiona Benson took top spot in the 1000m. The Spartan women’s team scored 64 points. On the men’s side, Nathan George won silver in the 300m and James Linde took bronze in the long jump.

A return to their defensive roots helped the Langley Rivermen dispose of the Surrey Eagles. Over the first four games of the best-of-seven BCHL Mainland Division semifinal series — with each team winning twice — Langley out-scored Surrey 18-16. But a 3-0 victory in game five on Monday at the Langley Events Centre and then a series-clinching 6-1 win on Tuesday (see page 40) at the South Surrey Arena gave the Rivermen a 4-2 series victory and a spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division finals. “Defence, goaltending … our penalty kill was much better,” said Rivermen coach Bobby Henderson on Wednesday morning. “We were pretty focused. I don’t think we were going to let anything get in the way of the win.” The Eagles had gone 7-for27 with the man advantage the first four games, but were blanked in seven chances over the final two game. “The biggest thing was the first four games — I don’t know if we were over-prepared or what it was — but we battled some nerves early in the series,” Henderson said. “But they overcame that and got back on track. “Starting next series, they just need to pick up where they left off.” Up next will be the Coquitlam Express, the third seed in the Mainland Division, who upset the No. 2 Prince George Spruce Kings in six games. Games one and two are Friday (March 14) and Saturday at the George Preston Recreation Centre. The Langley Events Centre arena bowl is hosting the B.C. high school boys 4A basketball championships. Games three and four will be March 17 and 18 in Coquitlam. If necessary, games five and seven would be back at the LEC on March 20 and 22, with game six in Coquitlam on March 21. During the regular season, Langley won the season series 4-3-0-1 with the Rivermen out-scoring the Express 36-29. “Pretty similar teams, very offensive-minded forwards Continued Page 40

Rivermen end Eagles’ season GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

Tyson Witala scored twice and set up a pair of goals and the power play went 3-for-4 as the Langley Rivermen eliminated the Surrey Eagles in the BCHL’s Mainland Division semifinal series. The Rivermen defeated the Eagles 6-1 in game six of the best-ofseven series on Tuesday (March 11) at the South

Surrey Arena, winning the series four games to two. The teams had traded wins in the first four games before Langley won 3-0 on March 10 at the Langley Events Centre in game five and then closed out the series in game six. Evan Anderson had the only goal of the first period and Viktor Dombrovskiy — on the power play — doubled

the lead to 2-0 midway through the second. The Rivermen took control with a pair of goals from Witala 2:37 apart. The first came with less than two minutes to go in the middle period and the latter was 38 seconds into the third on a power play. The Eagles had taken a penalty at the second-period final buzzer.

Langley Rivermen goaltender Brock Crossthwaite looks over top of the traffic in front of his crease from the battle between Surrey Eagles’ Colton Mackie and Rivermen defenceman Charlie Pelnik during game two of the best-of-seven playoff series last week . Crossthwaite stopped all 36 shots he faced in a 3-0 win Monday and then made 25 saves in a 6-1 series-clinching victory Tuesday.

Crossthwaite’s shutout streak with a goal at the four-minute mark. It was the first goal the Rivermen goalie allowed in 104 minutes as he pitched a shutout in the team’s 3-0 game five victory. He had been pulled the previous game after allowing six goals. “He was great in both games,” said Rivermen coach Bobby Henderson. “He gave us a chance early and got more confidence and was solid all the way through.” But any momentum the Eagles hoped to get from their goal was quickly gone as Austin Azurdia scored 2:28 later — his third goal in the past two games. Darien Craighead rounded out the scoring with another man-advantage goal with less than four minutes to play. And Langley won game six minus its captain, Mitch McLain, who was sitting out the first of his two-game suspension for a goaltender interference penalty in game five. “That is what has happened all year,” Henderson said about others stepping up. “We have pretty good depth and it was good to see a couple of guys who have been relatively snakebitten get on the scoresheet.”

Balanced scoring key for Langley From Page 39

and they get a contribution offensively from their back-end,” Henderson said. “They are getting some timely goaltending, should be a heck of a series.” “Two teams that don’t really like each other much, so there will be lots of emotion.”

Langley finished with 82 points, 23 ahead of Coquitlam, but the Express had more goals, 226 to 200. Goals against were in favour of Langley, 155 to 226. Coquitlam has been stingy in the post-season, however, allowing just a dozen goals in six games and goaltender Gordie Defiel sports a 1.90 goals against average and a .944 save

percentage. The Express scored 17 goals in the series over Prince George while Langley struck for 27 goals against Surrey with 13 different players scoring and 16 of the 18 skaters getting at least a point. Matt Ustaski led all Rivermen players with six goals and nine points.

Hawks, Rockets set for semifinals For only the second time ever, the Valley West Hawks have advanced to the semifinal round of the BC Hockey Major Midget League playoffs. The Hawks, which draw players from the Semiahmoo, Langley, Surrey and Cloverdale minor hockey associations, swept the Cariboo Cougars in a best-of-three quarterfinal series over the weekend in Langley. Valley West edged the Cougars 4-3 on Friday at the Langley Sportsplex, then eliminated the Prince George-

based team with a 5-2 victory Saturday at the George Preston Rec Centre. The Hawks have reached the semifinal stage of the MML playoffs only once before, in the 2010/11 season. Valley West led 1-0 after 20 minutes of Friday’s game on a goal by White Rock’s Davis Koch, but went into the last 10 minutes of play trailing 3-1. Koch started the comeback with his second goal of the game with seven minutes left. Ty Westgard of White Rock tied

the score with three minutes left on the clock and Matt Bradley of Surrey notched the winner with just 31 seconds remaining. Bradley and White Rock defenceman Matt Barberis each had a pair of assists. Valley West never trailed in Saturday’s game. Mitch Newsome of Surrey opening the scoring six minutes into the contest, and a minute after the Cougars pulled even, Westgard put the Hawks back on top. Spencer Gerth of Langley and Surrey’s Jamieson Ree

upped the difference to 4-1 after 40 minutes. The teams traded goals in the last minute of play, with Newsome netting the Hawks goal. Valley West will travel to Kelowna this weekend to face the second-place Okanagan Rockets in a best-ofthree semifinal series. Last season, the Hawks lost a quarterfinal series with the Rockets in three games. The teams split a two-game series in September, while the Rockets won two close games in December.

Another award for Ellenwood GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Another year, another award for Georgia Ellenwood. The latest honour for the Langley track and field star was winning the Sport B.C. junior female athlete of the year. Her father Dave accepted the award on her behalf at the awards ceremony on March 5 at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. The awards ceremony was to recognize the province’s best amateur athletes, coaches and officials. The 18-year-old Ellenwood is in Madison, Wisc. in her freshman year with the Wisconsin Badgers.

So far, I’ve looked at econo cars at the lower end of the market. No point in me offering price details because all Euro cars are substantially more expensive than the same examples sold here in Canada. Finally, I cast a close eye over the Audi S1, which is a hot sportback version of the popular A1. It comes with a 228hp 2.0-litre turbocharged gas engine capable of hitting 100 km/h in less than six seconds. I will reveal it will sell for more than $40,000 in the UK. It’s fast, it’s a premium offering and I’ll eat my hat if it shows up here. All of the above have great fuel economy going for them and most are competitively priced. The common keys to their success likely come down to two key factors. Impressive fuel consumption numbers matter because fuel in Europe is substantially more expensive than here. And Europe is crawling with folks going about their daily duties on often far less land and road space. While there is a greater acceptance of smaller vehicles in our cities, people outside urban areas have more ground to cover and so are tempted by larger vehicles, especially as a first family vehicle. And the truth is that the advances in fuel saving technology means there’s not a massive difference between the econo-cars and small family sedans. And perhaps a bigger factor is for “an extra $20 a month, madam, you could have the roominess and utility of this car.” A line heard in most dealerships, most days. And the sales people are not wrong. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: Spring break is a popular time of the year for a getaway. If you’re planning a long drive across the province, remember that winter tires could still be needed on certain highways. It’s also an ideal time to get a qualified mechanic to check your vehicle’s suspension and steering.

Cracking Canada’s small car conundrum GENEVA, Switzerland Small cars are huge here in Europe, if not in size certainly in numbers. Everywhere you turn; it seems there is either a Ford Fiesta or an Opel Astra (the General Motors subsidiary) about to cross your path. If it is not those examples, there are any number of other similar sized economy cars from the likes of Citroen, VW, and Peugeot buzzing by. Micro cars such as the tiny Smart, with which we are familiar, and even smaller vehicles zip into roadside parking spots where previously only a motorcycle would park. My two-prong mission at the Geneva Motor Show was to view small cars we might see sometime soon and others we never will see but wish we could! Then ponder whether small cars will ever catch on here in the way they have in Europe. There was something familiar about the first car

Confessions of a Curber I was itching to sell another car. I‘d spent my first cash quickly. The new TV looked great in my living room. So I scrounged the dealer lots in my neighbourhood. I found the perfect car at a small dealership not far from my house. Gray with four doors. Everything was still intact, but it was priced low. The dealer gave me the car’s history right away. It had been in three accidents over its lifetime. Nothing too major, but damage was done and repaired. I couldn’t spot the repairs. So, I happily bought it and registered it. I didn’t want my wife and kids to know what I was up to, so I parked it around the block. I knew it would be gone in a few days. This time, I used Kijiji and Craigslist. “Car for sale. Served me well, but wife wants a new car. Accident and damage free. Looking to sell fast, low price. Cash only. Call cell for info.” I got a text message from a woman across town. I told her I’d meet her at a nearby gas station and would throw in a free tank of gas. She was thrilled. When I met her, she told me that she needed a cheap, dependable vehicle to get to her new job. She’dd been taking the bus for weeks and was tired of her commute. To my annoyance, she wanted to check the vehicle thoroughly. So I distracted her. I told her I was sad to let “my baby” go, but I

wanted to keep my wife happy. She nodded sympathetically. As she handed me the money, she asked if the vehicle was in any accidents. Now, I’m not a good liar. So I simply said, No. It’s her fault for not asking for a CarProof or ICBC vehicle history report. That seemed to do it. She was pleased and drove away with a smile on her face. As for me, I went home with a fat wallet. A few days later, I got a text: “Got CarProof report. Three accidents?!?!? Need money back now!!!” I panicked. But not for long. I was getting good at this. I just got a new cell number. She didn’t know my name – that old fake ID worked great. And she had no idea where I lived. Finding me would wear her out. I was in the clear. But will I be so lucky next time? *Curber – An individual posing as a private seller, but selling vehicles for profit as a business.

the likes of the Ford Focus and the VW Golf. It uses lightweight materials extensively, including an aluminum hood, which means it sips gas. The rubberized pads along the side would be perfect for people who regularly have close encounters with garage doorframes! General Motors looks to penetrate the difficult younger buyer marked with its Opel/Vauxhall Adam. It’s dressed up in interesting colours but it’s what is under the hood that makes it really interesting. It has a variety of bigger engines as options but its smallest engine is a new 1.0-litre, three-cylinder gas engine, mated to a six-speed manual transmission, with the pulling power of 1.6-litre power plant. Fuel consumption is expected to be a miserly 4.5 L/100 km (combined city highway). It may show up here in some form but right now GM has more than its fair share of small cars. So far, I’ve looked at econo cars at the lower end of the market. No point in me offering price details because all Euro

Honda Civic Type R Concept KEITH MORGAN cars are substantially more expensive than the same examples sold here in Canada. Finally, I cast a close eye over the Audi S1, which is a hot sportback version of the popular A1. It comes with a 228hp 2.0-litre turbocharged gas engine capable of hitting 100 km/h in less than six seconds. I will reveal it will sell for more than $40,000 in the UK. It’s fast, it’s a premium offering and I’ll eat my hat if it shows up here. All of the above have great fuel economy going

for them and most are competitively priced. The common keys to their success likely come down to two key factors. Impressive fuel consumption numbers matter because fuel in Europe is substantially more expensive than here. And Europe is crawling with folks going about their daily duties on often far less land and road space. While there is a greater acceptance of smaller vehicles in our cities, people outside urban areas have more ground to cover and so are tempted by larger

vehicles, especially as a first family vehicle. And the truth is that the advances in fuel saving technology means there’s not a massive difference between the econo-cars and small family sedans. And perhaps a bigger factor is for “an extra $20 a month, madam, you could have the roominess and utility of this car.” A line heard in most dealerships, most days. And the sales people are not wrong. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

The diminutive Fiat 500 goes big The Fiat 500 is cute but might not be the most practical choice as a family vehicle. Sure, it has room for four, a peppy personality (even with its base 101 horsepower engine,) but accessing the rear seats isn’t the easiest and the cargo room is minimal. Enter the all-new-for-2014 Fiat 500L: The “L” stands for “large” so those interior volume deficiencies listed with its pint-sized sibling are no more. Dimensionally, the L is 27 inches longer, 6 inches taller in height and in width and there’s an extra 42 percent when it comes to inside space. But wait, there’s more. Literally. The L comes with two additional doors to allow for easy access to the rear seats. And room for five passengers. It loses a little bit of its pinch-the-cheeks cuteness but its practicality makes up for it. In the driver’s seat, you have an almost unadulterated outward visibility. The 500L features a segment-exclusive glass from the A- to D-pillars that provide nearly 360-degree

panoramic views. Parking is easy because you can pretty much see out of all four corners. And the 500L – even with its “large” designation – still

fits comfortably into urban settings. Driving the 500L, I noticed it doesn’t have quite the same amount of panache as the 500 Turbo. Granted, it’s a heavier vehicle. But to still keep some of the driving fun behind the wheel, Fiat has outfitted it with a 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo engine that provides 160 horsepower, 184 lb-ft. of torque. It’s also is available with

two transmission options. Firstly, there’s a 6-speed manual. Then there’s an available 6−Speed Euro Twin Clutch “automatic.” The latter of the two costs an additional $1,450 and came equipped on my 500L Lounge trim. To be honest, this dual clutch transmission was my least favourite part of the vehicle. It felt as though the gearing was off or it had some sort of gremlin inside causing a raucous to disturb the smooth functionality of what I would have expected. On the flip side, there’s nothing that I felt was fundamentally wrong with it. The transmission changed gears, got the car moving and did exactly what it was supposed to do. It also just felt weird/awkward to me and unlike any other dual clutch transmission, I’ve operated. Perhaps it is one of those features I would just need to get used to over time but our time together wasn’t long enough for me to embrace its quirks! There were, however, other highlights of the 500L. The Lounge trim comes standard with leather trimmed bucket seats and front heated seats, perfect

for those chilly mornings. An upgraded item that was optioned on the L was the Uconnect system with a 6.5-inch screen (the standard is a 5-inch screen) complete with Bluetooth, Sirius satellite radio and a Beats Premium Audio System ($500.) If you’re a music lover, this is a great to add to a Fiat. Besides, I find that the Uconnect media interface is one of the most intuitive infotainment systems to work with in the industry. Electronic Stability Control (ESC,) Hill Start Assist and 4− Wheel ABS brakes are part of its DNA along with a ParkView rear back−up camera, dual zone climate controls and steering wheel mounted audio controls. When cruising along at highway speeds, road noise is kept to a minimum, which allowed me to enjoy the music via the Beats stereo system a little more. In corners, the 500L doesn’t have as tight of a setup as the 500, so don’t push it too hard since body roll is more evident. Perhaps what really stands out about this compact car is just how much people room there is inside. I never

felt cramped nor did my passengers. Not to mention the 633L (22.4 cubic feet) of storage behind the second row seats. The MSRP of the 2014 Fiat 500L Lounge is $25,995. With the options and destination, the price as tested comes to $30,850. Visit www.fiatcanada.com for more information Alexandra.Straub@drivewaybc.ca

Some cars are built to take you where you’re going. Others are built to move you.

Well-appointed, spacious and a treat to drive, there are many reasons why the Jetta is not your average car. There are 5 different engines to choose from, including the only turbocharged hybrid in its class, and the unparalleled TDI Clean Diesel. And other available features like the convenient KESSY keyless entry with start and stop button, or the custom-tuned Fender® Premium Audio System, are certainly a cut above. Any way you look at it, the 2014 Jetta is German-engineered to give you more bang for less buck.

Teaching people the unusual rules of the road would make driving a little less frustrating in busy centres. For instance, everybody knows that it is legal to make a right turn on a red light. However, it seems few people realize it is fine to hang a left on red from a two-way street into a one-way street. If there are no vehicles approaching from your right on the green it’s perfectly safe and efficient and reduces lengthy backups. What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
