Birch Bay, WA, USA …Birch Bay is only 2.5 miles across but has over 19 miles of marine shoreline and because e it a shallow bay…the water is warm and the beachcombing and clamming go on forever. In fact the Lummi called this area Straf-a-wa which means “the place for the clams.”

Over 50% of all the housing at Birch Bay is “seasonal” with the majority of this being Canadian ownership! It is an eclectic mix of cottages, condos, and RV parks and has activities all year long including Polar Bear swims, running races, parades, fireworks, sandcastle contests, and music festivals. But it is the beach that has long attracted Canadians…where you can walk for miles when the tide is out. Both Semiahmoo Resort and Blaine are just a few minutes away and offer great boat moorage options. One of the areas merchants has become a local icon, and the building has been around since the 1920’s…the C Shop…appropriately named for the candy and ice cream available in large varieties! And The Tides will be a great “base camp” for exploring everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

The Tides cottages

The Tides cottages are located in position “A” in Birch Bay…on a sunny plateau just above the beach and only a one-minute walk to the C shop! So…you can spend all day at the beach, taking in all the activities and action but at the end of the day…come home to quiet and privacy. The Tides boasts over 11 acres of land with over 7 of it set aside in a conservation easement for parks, trails and even has a stream. Most of the cottages back onto this quiet forested setting and the stream.When you arrive at The Tides, you will immediately be welcomed by a well appointed clubhouse with a swimming pool and hot tub.

Dog walker in court

Plenty of Spring in Her Step

EMMA PAULSEN MAKES FIRST APPEARANCE ON ANIMAL CRUELTY CHARGES SHEILA REYNOLDS Black Press

A Delta dog walker accused in the deaths of six dogs that allegedly died of heat exhaustion in the back of her truck before being dumped in Abbotsford in May had nothing to say to reporters following her first court date Tuesday afternoon. While she was inside the Surrey Provincial Court building, Emma Paulsen actually didn’t enter the courtroom where Crown counsel and her lawyer convened briefly. Instead, she stood in another part of the building, away from where TV cameras could see her through the windows. When she bolted from the door to a waiting car, a cellphone to her ear, Paulsen did not respond to media questions. In August, Paulsen was charged with six counts, including killing an animal; causing unnecessary suffering, pain or injury; neglecting to provide adequate food, water or shelter; failing to protect and animal from circumstances that are likely to cause distress; causing or permitting distress; and intent to mislead police in an investigation. She has not yet entered pleas. If found guilty, she faces a maximum fine of $75,000, up to five years in jail and a ban from owning or having custody of animals for a period of time determined by the judge. Owners of the deceased dogs and their supporters attended the brief court appearance Tuesday. Stephanie Marner didn’t blame Paulsen for rushing in and out of the courthouse. “I would be hanging my head, too,” she said, noting one of the dead dogs, a bouvier/poodle, was owned by her sister, niece and nephew. Marner suggested that if found guilty, Paulsen’s access to animals should be forever limited. “She deserves a lifetime ban of ever owning an animal, she should never be able to be a dog walker, she should never be able to volunteer with animals,” said Marner, adding she intended to attend all of Paulsen’s court appearances.

C o u rte s y C TV

Dog walker Emma Paulsen made her first court appearance on Tuesday. She is facing charges in the deaths of six dogs. Paulsen initially reported the dogs stolen from the Brookswood off-leash park on May 13, sparking a widespread community search for the missing animals. But nearly a week later she admitted that the dogs had died of heat exhaustion after she left them in her vehicle on a hot day. She then led Langley RCMP to a ditch in Abbotsford where all six dogs were found dead. One of the dogs was a border collie owned by her ex-husband and children. Necropsies done by the SPCA confirmed the animals all died of heat exhaustion. Crown counsel spokesperson Gordon Comer said the next step in Paulsen’s case will be up to her and her lawyer. “The matter is before the courts. She’s presumed innocent at this stage,” Comer said. Paulsen’s next court date is Oct. 17. - with files from Monique Tamminga

West Vancouver’s Christa Bortignon competes in the women’s 75-79 long jump competition at McLeod Athletic Park on Wednesday, the first day of the 2014 B.C. Seniors Games being held in Langley. The Games run until Saturday with close to 4,000 seniors from around the province taking part in the annual competition. See www.langleytimes.com for a story on the opening ceremonies, which were held last night (Wednesday) after The Times’ press deadline.

Gary Hee says the death of a senior pedestrian on 72 Avenue last week is more tragic evidence of the need for traffic calming measures where 72 Avenue crosses from Surrey into Langley. Hee, a resident of the area, is organiz-

ing a Saturday morning rally at 10 a.m. in a church parking lot near 72 Avenue and 198B street. That’s where an 83-year-old man died on Thursday, Sept. 4, after he and an 81year old woman were hit by a car. Continued Page 7

Students ‘walk in’ to Brookswood Secondary MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

At exactly the time class would normally start for Brookswood Secondary students, on Wednesday at 8:18 a.m, six Grade 12 students walked into their school, binders in hand, wanting to learn. “If the doors are open, we will walk into the classrooms with our binders and pens to show we want to go back to school,” said Magi McFetridge on Tuesday. She is a BSS Grade 12 student who came up with the idea to stage the walk-in. “Both sides say they are fighting for the kids and yet we are the ones who have a legal right to get an education but aren’t

getting it.” She created a Facebook page called BC Student Walk In and it has 60 members so far. She and the other students crossed the teachers’ picket line. She spoke to several of her teachers about her plan. “They are supportive,” she said. McFetridge said many Grade 12 students need to be in school to start organizing post-secondary education and to complete their high school grades. She wants to work for Free the Children and had planned to do some fundraisers for the charity through the school as part of her application. That has been set back

now, she said. “We want this to be over and fast, because we deserve an education,” she said. Teachers were voting Wednesday on whether to try for binding arbitration to settle the bitter dispute, even though the government has repeatedly turned that option down. Teachers have been picketing without pay since going on a full strike in June. At present, both sides couldn’t be further apart. Education Minister Peter Fassbender spoke to The Times last Wednesday. The former Langley City mayor, who left his seat here to become B.C.’s education

minister, had a clear a message to teachers: suspend the strike for a two-week period and do a “full court press on negotiating.” “Let teachers vote on it. That way they can get back to their classrooms and get paid and we can really get down to negotiating a deal,” said Fassbender, just over an hour after Premier Christy Clark spoke on the same topic. B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker held a press conference of his own last Wednesday, saying there is no way the union will take a two-week break from the strike. So the stand-off continues and “kids, families and parents suffer,” Fassbender said.

21-year saga ends as subdivision approved ALR CONCERNS STILL AN ISSUE DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

JAMES INGLIS L an gley Tim es

Henry Klassen takes a break to enjoy a fresh cob of corn at the “Old and New Day” at the BC Farm Museum in Fort Langley on Labour Day. He took his break resting in the wheel well of a new John Deere tractor.

A debate over development of an 11acre Murrayville farm site came to an end Monday with its final approval by Langley Township council, 21 years after the owners first applied to build housing on two agricultural properties near 216 Street and 44 Avenue. The matter ended up in court when the regional Metro Vancouver authority said the proposal, known as the “Hendricks et al” development, violated regional growth strategy limits and sued the Township. Metro also sued Langley over two other housing developments it said were beyond the power of the municipality to approve; the University District and the Wall farm projects near Trinity Western. In March of this year, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Neena Sharma dismissed the Metro lawsuit and upheld the approval of all three projects. Sharma said the Metro regional growth strategy, which aims to control urban growth, was only guidelines expressing policy, not enforceable laws. That cleared the way for final approval of the Hendricks development, 21 residential lots with a 15-metre landscape “buffer” to be built between the new homes and the protected farmland to the south. The Hendricks et al properties used to be part of the protected land within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), but the provincial agency in charge of the ALR,

the Agricultural Land Commission, approved its exclusion after several applications by the owners in 1993, 2003 and 2009. At the Monday evening Township council meeting, there was one last debate before the vote. Councillors Michelle Sparrow and David Davis were the only voices raised against the proposal. “This just sets a precedent, and shows that that if you try hard enough and ask enough times and spend enough money, that eventually you will be able to develop your agricultural lands,” Sparrow said. Davis said the Township could lose “thousands of acres” of farmland if more buffers are allowed. “Stop cutting farmland out,” Davis said. Councillor Charlie Fox was among the majority who voted for the proposal, saying the land, a former horse training facility, was “unfarmable” in part because it is located next to an urban residential neighbourhood. Councillor Kim Richter said the “agricultural quality of the land is not high” and pending changes to provincial agricultural laws make buffers “absolutely critical” to reduce conflict between urban residents and farmers. Councillor Bev Dornan said the site was a “perfect spot” for a buffer that would protect both the rural and urban communities. Continued Page 8

$13,000 in profits from stolen Best Buy electronics forfeited

Keep Public Charities Public

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

Crime really didn’t pay for a former Langley Best Buy warehouse employee, who was caught stealing the company’s electronics and selling them on Craigslist last year. In a recent decision by the B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office, $13,000 of the 23-year-old’s cash profits from his scam were seized. The cash was discovered during a search of Wei-Chun Eric Wang’s Port Coquitlam apartment last year. The money was located along with $23,000 worth of iPads, iPhones and computers taken from Best Buy.

Donors Rights Society

Sign our Petition and say NO to Closed Shops donorsrights.com

All the stolen property was returned to Best Buy. Wang was charged with theft under $5,000. He pleaded guilty and received a conditional discharge on June 13. In November 2013, Langley RCMP were called to investigate an internal theft at Best Buy. Investigators found the suspect and determined the products were being sold on Craigslist. The investigation led to a search warrant for Wang’s residence. Langley RCMP Const. Mike Schnerch, who is Langley’s asset forfeiture co-ordinator along with Anders Galasso of the Street Enforcement Unit,

reviewed the file and referred it for consideration of civil forfeiture. In late July, Langley RCMP was informed proceedings have concluded and the cash ordered forfeited. The B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office is entirely self-funded and relies on revenues from successful forfeiture. These monies are used in part to fund crime prevention efforts by police and community groups across B.C. Since the program began, it has returned approximately $15 million from successful forfeiture actions to crime prevention and victims programs in B.C, including programs in the Langley area.

‘Significant’ amount of cash found in clothing donated to Value Village Langley RCMP is hoping to return a “significant” amount of cash to its rightful owner. The money was left in some clothing which was donated to Value Village and found by an employee as the clothing was readied for resale on Aug. 27. All the cash has been turned over to Langley

RCMP. The amount of cash is significant enough that someone is very likely missing it, said Cpl. Holly Marks. If you recently donated clothing to Value Village and may have left a sum of money in a pocket, please contact Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 to arrange for its’ return.

Signals scheduled to be installed near crash site early in New Year From Page 1

Hee says he’s been told by Township of Langley staff that a traffic light will go in next year, but he and his neighbours feel something needs to be done sooner. “We can’t keep having citizens killed on the street,” Hee said. “I just want a crosswalk . . . just the basics,” Hee told The Times Tuesday. “We can’t keep having citizens killed on the street.” Last year, Hee launched a petition to press for traffic calming measures along 72 Avenue around 196 Street, after a young boy was hit while rollerblading and a 19-year-old woman was struck in a hit-and-run crash and left lying in a ditch. Hee said he has threatened to paint his own crosswalk on 72 Avenue, but was warned by Township staff that he could face criminal prosecution if he did. At the Monday afternoon meeting of council, Ramin Seifi, the general manager of engineering and community development, said plans for the area include “full signalization” near the scene of the crash early in the new year. A memo to council from the engineering division on Monday said the Township has the money to build a traffic light at

196 Street and 72 Avenue, but can’t proceed until a design consultant hired by the City of Surrey finishes work later this year, followed by start of construction in the spring of 2015. The memo noted plans for widening of 72 Avenue between 196 Street and 200 Street to four lanes, including left turn lanes and bicycle lanes. It added Township staff plan to conduct G A RY pedestrian HEE and traffic counts at the scene of the fatality, where two stops signs currently stand, “to determine if changes to the intersection traffic control are warranted.” A woman who witnessed the accident went to Township council Monday night to lobby for safety improvements. “That was very difficult to see,” Teresa Blades said of the fatal crash. She added traffic accidents are all too common in the area, with vehicles ending up in the ditch “almost weekly.” In her written submission to council, Blades said 72 Avenue has no marked pedestrian

crossings between 192 Street in Surrey and 200 Street in Langley. She said westbound traffic goes from two lanes to one at 198B street, creating a “funneling effect” that increases danger to pedestrians on the north side while on the south side, a property under development is forcing pedestrians to “walk within the eastbound lanes.” Councillor Charlie Fox told Blades the Township is doing what it can to improve safety on the route. “I know we’re as concerned as you are,” Fox said. The same night, council approved construction of a housing project on 72 Avenue near the 198B intersection where the two pedestrians were hit. The 15-lot subdivision was originally approved in 2006, but final approval was delayed “due to ownership challenges and market related concerns” a staff report to council said. Construction of the project is expected to improve safety because it will widen 72 Avenue by two metres. Langley RCMP said the fatal accident was likely caused by the glare from the setting sun which caused visibility issues for the female driver who hit the two elderly Langley residents. Neither speed nor alcohol are considered factors.

Langley Artists Open Their Doors! Langley’s artists are once again opening their studios to warmly welcome visitors, offering a unique opportunity to peek inside the creative space of working artists.

The ‘white van scam’ has surfaced in Langley, this time in a blue Jeep. The scam is people selling knock-off electronics “for a fraction of the retail price” out of the back of their vehicle. The Langley instance took place on Sept. 2 in the Army and Navy parking lot, said Langley RCMP. The ‘mark’ was approached by two men in a blue Jeep. They offered to sell projector units and screens. The scammers suggested that their company had been shipped too many of the items, priced at $4,300. They indicated they were willing to sell them for

only $1,000. But the scammers had met their match. He declined the offer and recorded the license plate of the Jeep. Unfortunately, the plate had been terminated long ago, said Cpl. Holly Marks. Typically, these scams involved one to three individuals. They may be casually dressed or even have uniforms. Often, they use a minivan or commercial vehicle (usually a white, commercial van, which can be rented inexpensively). They set up in moderately-trafficked areas such as parking lots or gas stations. The scammers will often claim they work for some sort

of audio retailer or installer and through some sort of corporate error, they have extra items for sale. For a variety of reasons, they will be looking to sell the items at ‘well below retail’ prices. They may even go so far as to purportedly verify the price by displaying a website, brochure or magazine advertisement. If the mark declines the offer, the scammer may use a variety of high-pressure negotiation sales tactics. Police stay to be strong and don’t give in. Police also appreciate any reports of this activity, descriptions of suspects and licence numbers.

Metro Vancouver has filed appeal From Page 5

Councillor Steve Ferguson said he was “looking forward to this thing finally being resolved” after so much time. Mayor Jack Froese said it was time to “see that this chapter is

closed and we move on.” However, there will be at least one more round of legal wrangling. In April, Metro Vancouver applied to the B.C. Court of Appeal to overturn the Supremo Court

decisions on the Hendricks, University District and Wall developments. The hearing of the Metro court challenge is scheduled for Dec. 8, 9 and 10 at the Court of Appeal in Vancouver.

It is at Campbell Valley Regional Park, Visitors will experience the charm of an old-fashioned country fair at the 36th annual “Country Celebration” on Sept. 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This fall tradition combines nature, heritage, agriculture and community. Activities include dance and music performances (including Bobs & Lolo), stilt walking, hula hoop workshops, kite-making, milking demonstrations, llama obstacle courses, and much more. From pizza to mini donuts to freshly squeezed lemonade, there will be a variety of classic country fair food to fuel the day’s activities. Entrance admission is $3 per adult, $2 for children aged seven to 13 and seniors 65 and olver, and free for children six and under, and to anyone dressed in pioneer costume. Entrance is at the 204 Street parking lot.

SENIORS NEEDS IN FOCUS Members of the Triple A (Affordable, Accessible, Appropriate) Senior Housing Committee are hosting a seniors’ housing needs summit over two days, on Thursday, Sept. 25 and Friday, Sept. 26 at Newlands Golf and Country Club. The one-and-a-half day event will highlight the overall strategy of awareness advocacy and action to build upon the Langley Senior Housing survey completed by 540 residents, and the successful workshop last November. The summit will go over the needs in the community, housing options available currently and in the future in Langley, as well as local solutions. Projections see Langley’s senior population increasing 137 per cent, with more than 44,270 by 2031. However, many in Langley are not homeowners but renters. Langley City currently has the highest percentage of low income seniors in all of Metro Vancouver. A lone senior receiving a guaranteed income supplement (GIS) lives on less than $1,500 per month. These are the reasons a summit needs to be held. There will be a focus on keeping seniors living in their homes as long as possible. The summit is geared to older adults, nearly seniors, family and caregivers, government leaders, civic staff, community agencies, volunteers, developers. The registration deadline is Sept. 15.

Question langeytimes.com

The guest editorial from the Campbell River Mirror points out the need for candidates to step forward, with local elections just over two months away. Thus far in both Langleys, the lack of interest is obvious. A few candidates have informed The Times that they are running, a few others have mounted campaigns on social media and it is rumoured that a few others are ready to run. However, it is a far cry from the municipal election of 2011, particularly in Langley Township. There were three candidates for mayor in that election, and no one was seen as a front-runner. The intense interest in the mayors’ race, combined with efforts by The Times and others such as Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce to boost the vote, led to an additional 4,000 turning out, as compared to the lacklustre 2008 election. There was plenty of interest — almost too much — in the eight council seats. A total of 27 candidates ran, overwhelming voters at the polling booth and likely helping ensure that all incumbents were elected, despite a level of dissatisfaction with council. All but two actually lost votes from their 2008 totals, despite the additional voters taking part. The election for the Langley Board of Education also was keenly-contested, with an informal slate which opposed many of the previous board’s initiatives taking control. The new board proceeded to fire superintendent Cheryle Beaumont, but has generally worked together well and has led the district back to a balanced budget position — a major achievement. Langley City, as is usually the case, saw a boring campaign in 2011 and a decline in voter participation. All but one incumbent was re-elected, with former 18-year councillor Ted Schaffer returning. Schaffer, who has been acting mayor since January, is expected to run for the top job in November, although he has yet to announce his intentions. He joins Township Mayor Jack Froese, one of the few to actually say he is running. This time around, local councils and boards of education will be serving for four years, so the need for competent, committed councillors and trustees who are good listeners is greater than ever.

Should teachers go back to work immediately, whether or not there is a contract settlement?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Making a difference they

It’s democracy in action. Three individuals have now declared their intention to run for Campbell River mayor during the Nov. 15 civic election, and it’s anticipated that others may also step forward. On top of this, more candidates are also needed for Campbell River city council and elected positions on the Strathcona Regional District board. There will also be seats available on the local school board. Most residents will take it for granted that there will be numerous names on the ballot to choose from. But keep in mind, that many electoral area seats are filled by acclamation because there is only one candidate, while in other jurisdictions, there are just enough hopefuls to pull an election together. We would hope that while the nomination period is underway, residents throughout the Campbell River area will consider letting their name stand. There’s no question that civic politics take up considerable time for meetings, research and social engagements, but it’s also an opportunity to be active in your community and make a difference. A variety of skill sets is critical given the challenges facing all communities, including aging infrastructure and public demands for services while trying to ensure a fiscally responsible organization. Councils are generally dominated by retirees or the self-employed, and while their involvement is positive, a broad-based perspective of ages, genders and economic backgrounds would be welcome. Politicians are too often not held in high-esteem, but remember that they still play a critical role in our society, and particularly at the local level, they can make a difference. — Campbell River Mirror

It’s time to get serious about negotiating Road rage Editor: This is an open letter to B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker: Dear Mr. (Str)Iker, At what point are you going to become realistic in the handling of the negotiations to resolve the teachers’dispute? What a waste of everyone’s time — taking a vote among teachers with a non-starter. I am tired of hearing how you feel bad about using the students as pawns. You had a full summer to negotiate, but you held no meetings and waited until you had the students to use as your leverage.

Then again, teachers are normally off all summer, so we would not want to break that habit. The teachers would like to be paid for a full year, when they only work less than 75 per cent of the year. Wouldn’t workers in private industry like to be treated the same way? Smaller class sizes? There was a time when the teachers could handle up to 40 students and do

J IM IK ER

a fantastic job. What happened? They had no Pro-D days or prep time. If you teach the same subject year after year, why do you need this prep time? It is time for Iker and his team to face reality and start some serious negotiations. It is time for the teachers to show some “smarts” and get our students back where they belong. T. MCLEOD, LANGLEY

Teacher apologizes for all the hardships Editor: I am a teacher and I would like to apologize. I would like to apologize first to all the students who are really looking forward to getting back to school. To you, I say I’m sorry that you can’t be in school right now. We are trying our best to get you all the support you need. Many of you don’t know that before our contract was ripped up you were entitled to smaller classes and more time with resource teachers and support staff. You had a librarian in the library and a counsellor to talk with. You had speech and language help and ESL if needed. I am on strike right now because I know that you need these things to reach your full potential. You can’t strike, so I will do it for you. Secondly, I would like to apologize to the parents of the students. I am truly sorry that this strike is making things difficult

for you and your families. I know that you have to find a place for your children to go for $40 a day and that there are not enough daycare spaces available. I appreciate your support and understanding that we are trying to make things better for your child and future children. We are trying to get a government to put back what the Supreme Court has twice told them they stole from our schools. I would like to apologize to all the CUPE workers and other support workers that put so much of their time and energy into our schools. I know that you understand and see firsthand the state our schools are in. I am sorry that you are facing financial hardship to support us. Lastly, I would like to apologize to Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender. I am sorry that I am making your lives more difficult by requiring you to fund

public education properly. It is hard to put money in what could be considered a ‘non-profit’ organization rather than into ventures that will see a return. I know that you would much prefer privatization, because then you could charge for education and begin to make a profit. This, unfortunately, would create a two-tiered education system and again, I am sorry, but I don’t think this benefits the majority of people. I am sorry that it has come to a full strike that has continued on into September. There are too many kids in a classroom. There is not enough support. There are not enough resources. This is not OK with me. Sorry. MEGHAN COULTER, LANGLEY

Already plenty of teachers on the payroll Editor: The present B.C. Teachers Federation demands border on insanity. Do the math. There are 500,000 students and 40,000 teachers in the public school system today. Divide the amount of students by the number of teachers, and you come up with 12.5 students per teacher.

This means that 20,000 teachers could take care of 24 students per class. My question is, what are the other 20,000 teachers doing, besides collecting a good pay cheque each month? Now they want a $5,000 signing bonus, plus smaller class sizes too. Come on folks, grab a brain. First you waste the summer holiday season, which should

have been used for negotiations. Now you use kids as pawns to meet your demands. Disgusting indeed. Think. Where else can you get a good paying job with three months holidays each year? GERTIE POOL, ABBOTSFORD

apology Editor: I find myself in the awkward position of trying to apologize to a man I have never met. He might remember me, as the older man with the red face, mouth open and yelling, while driving a silver Dodge pick-up on Fraser Highway, at about 12:30 p.m.on Sunday. I hope I didn’t ruin your Sunday. Because of my attitude, I ruined my own. Again,. I’m humbled by my anger and stupidity, in a show of road rage. PETER SEALY, LANGLEY

RV view endorsed Editor: I just had to write to express my agreement with Valerie White’s letter in the Sept. 2 edition of The Times. RVs parked on driveways are an unsightly blight on a neighbourhood and certainly do block the view up and down the street. We are always happy when the RV next door disappears for a few days, or even a week or two. Do people not realize that when they go away and the RV disappears, it is so obvious that they are not home. We are looking forward to the day when all these RVs have to go into storage for the winter months, then we can see down our street. C. CHESTERTON, ALDERGROVE

Can’t trust a government which ripped up contract Editor: So the B.C. government is appealing the two court rulings which decided in favour of the teachers being able to determine what the class sizes and mix should be. The government’s argument is that it has

the right to do what it wants without negotiation, regardless of any existing contract. Basically their argument is: “Yes, we put it in the contract but we didn’t mean it.” In other words, they lied. How can you

negotiate in good faith with politicians like that? How does the BCTF think they can have meaningful binding arbitration with politicians that lie? I would feel better if the BCTF had much

more input into deciding how tax dollars are spent on education, rather than just a merry-go-round of deceitful politicians. GARY HUNTBACH, ABBOTSFORD

Check, please – centre hosts Labour Day chess tourney BROOKSWOOD CONTEST FINAL PROVINCIAL QUALIFIER OF THE SEASON J AM ES I N G L I S Tim e s c o n t r i b u t o r

What to do on the last long weekend of the summer? Well, if you’re the Doknjas brothers, the answer is spending three days with 43 other people inside the hall of the Brookswood Seniors Centre, competing in the Langley Open 2014 chess tournament. For the brothers, John, 14, Joshua, 11, and Neil, 9, chess is a serious business. The boys were taught the game by their father, Dave, when they turned five. At seven they began to compete in chess tournaments. The brothers spend two hours each day studying the game and techniques of chess masters. One of the brothers’ tournament

competitors, Butch Villavieja, a national chess master and the 2012 BC Closed Tournament champion agrees that studying the masters’ games is important to player’s growth. “Chess is a game of mind games and you need to understand the principles in order to win games . . . by studying the masters’ moves you are looking for the meaning of the move. “You will get ideas . . . you will learn pattern recognition . . . and then be able to implement it in your own game [and] develop your own system,” he said. The Langley Open 2014 is run as a “Swiss format” tournament. The details of this style are important to the players involved, but to the casual observer, it means it is a non-elimination tournament with pre-determined rules on the pairing of opposing players. This tournament has six rounds (games) and each player will play in each round. At the end of the sixth round, the player with the highest score, deter-

mined by calculations involving the player’s moves and win/loss ratio is declared the tournament winner. Tournament director Brian Davidson said the Langley Open tournament is, “fairly significant [and] the winner gets to go to the BC Closed [tournament], so it is a qualifier. “There are only six or eight qualifier tournaments in B.C. each year and this is the last one, so if you haven’t qualified up until now and you want to be in the B.C. championships, then you have to play here.” In the final results, the brothers made an impressive showing. John and Joshua tied for second, along with Savvas Kyriakides. All three won five of their six rounds, and take home $200 and bragging rights. Nine-year-old Neil came in about halfway through the pack, winning three of his six games.

Magnus Lundh, face of Nicomekl Enhancement Society, passes away Nicomekl Enhancement Society has lost one of its most passionate volunteers. “It is with a great sadness, and many fond memories, that the Nicomekl Enhancement Society (NES) would like to acknowledge the passing of Magnus Lundh,” said president Lynn Mandla in a statement. “Magnus joined us on Dec. 30, 2001, at the encouragement of Joe Kambietz. Little did we know the impact he would have or the joy he would bring. To many, Magnus was the face of the NES, whether it be through correspondence or in person. Magnus would always put you at ease through his welcoming persona, infectious smile and amazing hair. He was always eager to attend any event that raised awareness for the salmon, including manning information booths, attending conferences, or travelling anywhere he thought he could make a difference. “Beyond being on the front line, Magnus was also the backbone of salmon enhancement at the hatchery, personally seeing to the rearing and return of millions of salmon in his tenure. Magnus was also giving with his knowledge, spending countless hours sharing with anyone fortunate enough to hear, maintaining invaluable records, and championing the needs of salmon. “He was vital to many projects important to the Nicomekl River, ranging from habitat restoration and salmon reintroduction, inter-hatchery co-operation, and most recently the efforts to have a fish gate installed on the Nicomekl Flood Gates. “Without Magnus Lundh, the Nicomekl Enhancement Society would not be all that it is today, and for that we thank him. It is with this knowledge, and heavy hearts, we bid our friend everlasting peace; but know that as long as salmon return in the Nicomekl River his legacy will live on.” Mr. Lundh was born in Sweden in 1930 and left home at 14, seeking adventure at sea.

WHERE?

New polling data suggests a planned referendum next March on new taxes to expand the Metro Vancouver transit system could yet pass despite waning public support for TransLink. The survey was conducted for TransLink in two phases in May and late June by Maple Leaf Strategies, before and after the release by Metro mayors of their $7.5-billion expansion plan. The first phase found 57 per cent of respondents were very or somewhat likely to vote ‘yes’ in the referendum, followed by 56 per cent in the second phase. About a third said they were unlikely to vote in favour. “That is very encouraging for us,” said Bob Paddon, TransLink’s executive vice-president of strategic planning. “A referendum is winnable.” The survey found 58 per cent were willing to pay higher taxes, fares or fees if the money raised is dedicated to new transportation and transit projects. A larger majority of 75 per cent agreed that “even if taxpayers don’t like new taxes and fees, they are necessary to build new transit and transportation infrastructure to deal with congestion.” A further 79 per cent agreed public transit investments help ease congestion for drivers. The surveys of more than 500

residents have a margin of error of plus or minus 4.3 per cent. “There’s an appetite out there to solve this problem of congestion and people understand that’s going to cost money to do it,” Paddon said. “They also want ensure those are good investments and they’ll be managed well.” SFU City Program director Gordon Price said he also thinks the referendum may be winnable, but cautioned there are major risks. “Those are more optimistic results than I would have anticipated,” he said of the polling data. A companion survey from Mustel Group indicated declining overall support for TransLink — down to 68 per cent of respondents with a favourable opinion from 75 per cent in 2010 when the Canada Line opened. And the polling was conducted before two major SkyTrain shutdowns fueled intense criticism of TransLink in May, as well as this week’s release of rising payouts to senior executives. Price also noted there’s no final agreement between the mayors and the provincial government on what tax mechanism would be used and no clarity on what it would cost the typical household – answers that voters need as soon as possible.

Even assuming the mayors and province reach a deal, transit advocates like Price expect a difficult battle for votes against anti-tax opponents of TransLink spending. Much, he said, will come down to how voters perceive the question. “If it’s a vote on TransLink, most people think it would be very tough,” Price said. “If it’s a vote on our future, the chances increase – provided the number is palatable, people believe they’re getting value for money and all parts of the region benefit.” Also essential, he said, is that politicians across the spectrum and right up to the premier support the plan and the Yes campaign. The poll results also suggest the mayors’ top choice of increasing the carbon tax in Metro to fund their plan over the short time has less support than other options. Fifteen per cent picked the carbon tax as their preferred revenue source. In contrast, 27 per cent listed a $75 vehicle levy, another 27 per cent chose tolls of up to $2 on all bridge crossings in the region and 17 per cent picked a regional sales tax of up to one per cent.

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

B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.” One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge. It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time. Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year. In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule. “Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said. In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Buyers looking beyond home features when purchasing By Kerry Vital

The decision on where to purchase a new home goes beyond the features of the homes themselves. Beautiful countertops or elegant flooring go a long way, but there are a few other features that buyers are increasingly looking for. Those features include an amazing amenities space. “In the past, we saw amenities spaces tucked away within

buildings, which were small and uninspired compared to what is available today,” says Cressey Development Group’s Hani Lammam. “Amenities are becoming central to a building’s design.” Among the popular amenities in new home construction are a full-size gym, a yoga studio, gardens, a music room and large communal entertaining spaces. “We’re noticing that distinct architectural styles appeal to the

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

homebuyer, such as multi-level and indoor-outdoor amenity spaces,” Lammam says. “Specifically, we’ve seen buyers wanting amenities that they will really use and which will add to their quality of living.” To capitalize on this, Cressey has included beautiful amenities in several of their recent projects. Richmond’s Cadence features a rooftop garden and glass “Jewel Box” pavilion that holds an entertaining lounge and kitchen. Maddox in downtown Vancouver includes a full-size indoor gym as well as a podium entertaining space linked to the main building. Concord Pacific is also integrating amazing amenities in their new projects. For example, Park Avenue in Surrey’s City Centre has a tennis court, putting green, theatre, fully landscaped sky gardens and many more. Their Richmond master-planned community of Concord Gardens has a banquet hall, grand ballroom, lantern pavilion and several other stunning features.

The Summit Residences by Domae Homes is perfectly situated in Chilliwack to take advantage of everything that the area has to offer, including tons of outdoor recreation opportunities. The spacious homes are available in a variety of open-plan layouts, allowing homeowners to personalize their home.

Ascending to the peak at The Summit Residences By Kerry Vital

Domae Homes has long been known for high-quality homes that they themselves would want to live in. With the Summit Residences, that’s actually the case for partner Kevin Chester, who lives in the community

himself and enjoys being able to say hello to the people who have purchased a home there. “We build homes that we care about,” he says. “These are not just houses; they’re homes that people want to spend time in.” Located in the Promontory Heights community in Chilliwack, The Summit

Residences are worthy of their name. With stunning views of the surrounding valley and mountains, the neighbourhood is a naturelovers dream. Thom Creek Park is nearby, as well as trails, golf courses, lakes and other recreation opportunities. “These views are to-die-for,” Chester says. There are controlled and registered building design guidelines in place to keep that view for the homeowners at the Summit Residences, which is especially important to those buyers who put a beautiful view on the top of their list of must-haves.

The 52 single-family homes on the 12-acre site are available in a range of floorplans, including two new layouts that range in size from 2,116 to 2,324 square feet plus an unfinished basement. Curb appeal is not in short supply at The Summit Residences, with their Craftsman architecture, distinctive exposed aggregate or stamped driveways and spacious outdoor decks, patios and landscaped yards. Each home has a double-car attached garage. “No two homes are the same,” Chester says. “We want buyers to get exactly what they want, so there is quite a variety of options.” Spacious open-concept floorplans are perfect for entertaining, and homeowners can choose between two professionally selected colour schemes. Large windows maximize the view and let natural light fill the space. Hardwood laminate flooring throughout the main level is complemented by luxurious trackless carpeting in the bedrooms. A cozy stone-faced gas fireplace adds a touch of contemporary elegance to the living room. The gourmet kitchens include hardwood cabinetry, classic granite countertops and a hand-set tiled backsplash. A granite-topped island adds to the overall counter space and serves as a gathering place. A spacious pantry is another masterstroke of convenience. The ensuite is spa-like and relaxing, with a deluxe soaker tub, frameless glass shower and floating under-lit hardwood cabinet. Homes start at $450,000. For more information, visit www.summitresidences.ca, call 604-824-6473 or stop by the sales centre at 47150 MacFarlane Place, Chilliwack, open 12 to 5 p.m. daily except Thursday and Friday.

Before buying compare space & water heating costs When you’re house-hunting, choosing a home with natural gas for space and water heating can save you money. Believe it at fortisbc.com/calculator. *These are approximate savings based on the difference between annual natural gas and electricity costs for space and water heating of a 2,300 square-foot house with average insulation and four occupants in the FortisBC Lower Mainland service area. Calculation compared high-efﬁciency natural gas furnace and large storage tank water heater with electric resistance heating (baseboards) and equivalent water heater and is based on FortisBC natural gas rates as of July 2014 ($11.054/GJ) and electricity rates in the service area identiﬁed (Tier 1 and 2: $0.079 and $0.118 per kWh).

DID YOU KNOW: Since becoming a pharmacist last year, one of the things that has surprised me the most is how many people have trouble taking prescription cholesterol medication. For the vast majority, the benefits of these medications outweigh the risks, but people ask about natural approaches every day. Family Care Pharmacy strongly believes in practicing both prescription and complementary & alternative medicine, and one of our favourite disease states to talk about with our patients is cholesterol management. The Natural Standard has assigned Grade A evidence-based ratings to plant sterols (such as those found in NOW Guggul Extract) and soluble fiber (Glucomannan and Cho-Less-Terol by Organika) for cholesterol management.

A cross-Canada journey against cancer G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Re po r t e r

Township Mayor Jack Froese recalls speaking to the riders and volunteers of the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride outside the Sears at Willowbrook Shopping Centre two years ago. “It was very emotional just looking at the photos of the young people that have struggled with cancer,” Froese told a crowd gathered outside the store last week. He was speaking as the riders made a stop in Langley as part of their coast-tocoast journey, which will take them from Vancouver to Halifax over the span of 17 days. The ride came through Langley in 2013, but Froese did not attend that day, because his wife, Debbie, was in the middle of her own fight against cancer, undergoing chemotherapy treatments. “Debbie and I had many conversations about cancer,” said Froese, fighting his emotions as he spoke.

“She once said, ‘If any of my grandkids had cancer, I would want to take it from them, I wouldn’t want them to have that pain,’” he said. “’Maybe that is why I have cancer?’” she said. Debbie is now in remission, and doing well, Froese said. He thanked the riders, and all the volunteers who accompany them, for all that they do. “You are out there taking that pain away from the children, and I am really thankful for that,” Froese said. ••• Prior to their stop in Langley, the riders embarked on the journey by dipping their bike wheels into the ocean in White Rock. They will conclude their ride by dipping the wheels into the Atlantic Ocean. The team of 20 riders — who take turns cycling the more than 7,000 km route — each have their

own personal reason or connection for participating in the ride. The Sears National Kids Cancer Ride — one of eight events the foundation holds each year — has contributed $7 million over its first six years. One of the riders, Ken Cross was in hospital with his daughter Megan, who had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, when Jeff Rushton called him and first told him about the ride. Rushton is the co-founder and chair of Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation. Until that point, Cross — a Sears employee — knew nothing about the ride, nor did he have any cycling experience. “I fell into childhood cancer like any other parent would,” he said, adding that the community support his family received was amazing.

GA RY A HUJ A Langley Time s

Riders left the Sears store at Willowbrook Shopping Centre in Langley on Thursday, Sept. 4, embarking on the next leg of their ride to Halifax. “It really does take a village to raise a child.” Cross rode cross-country in 2009, 2012 and 2013. In both 2010 and 2011,

he helped fundraise and served as an ambassador to help build awareness. ••• September is childhood

cancer awareness month and Sears stores across the country are fundraising in the fight against childhood cancer, said Signe Bell, the Langley store manager. “You each have your own reason to ride,” she told the riders and volunteers. “Someone or something has touched you enough to take personal action and make an enormous, enormous commitment.” Sears partners with the ride in many ways, including hosting the entourage at various store locations across the country. SLH Transport provides a pair of trucks. The back of each truck serves as the sleeping quarters for the riders. “This is how they keep costs lean, 100 per cent of the proceeds are donated to the cause,” Bell said. “And the important thing, because of sponsors like Sears and a ton of volunteers, we are able to give 100 per cent of that money we raise to the charities we support,” Rushton said.

The gauntlet (and some other stuff) has been thrown down IT’S CARPET VS. KITTENS – WHICH SIDE WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS? Nufloors Langley along with LAPS (Langley Animal Protection Society) are putting on a special pet adoption day on the Nufloors showroom on Saturday, Sept. 13. The event “Sit, Stay, and Save” will have lots of kittens and puppies as well as more mature animals, all awaiting their forever home. Volunteers from LAPS will be on hand to answer any questions. The day is partially sponsored by the Stainmaster Corporation, the makers of Stainmaster “Pet Protect” carpet — a revolutionary item of its type. According to Dennis Lundstrom, a member of the Nufloors management team, the new product is fully guaranteed against anything pets can do to stain it, including #1 and #2. To prove the carpet’s durability, test samples were put in the home of 13 kittens while they were being litter trained at the headquarters of Tinykittens.

courtesy tinykitten s.com

Nufloors Langley hopes to prove its Stainmaster carpet can stand up to the worst that a litter of kittens can throw at it. On Sept. 13, the store on the Langley Bypass will host a pet adoption day titled Sit, Stay and Save on behalf of Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS). com, a local kitten foster home affiliated with LAPS. Tinykittens.com live streams the kittens’ adorable antics and often grabs more than a million views. “This is the best way we can show how well it works. “Half will be cleaned and half left as-is. The demo should be dramatic,” said Lundstrom about the kitty test sample. As support for LAPS and their

affiliates, Nufloors will donate $1 for every square yard of Pet Protect carpet sold during the month of September. “We are more than pleased to make t his offer,” Lundstromsaid. Nufloors is located at 20771 Langley Bypass, across from La-Z-boy, next to Buns Master. They are open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. with adoption viewing from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

What’s the story on Storrie? GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts

Imagine having the power and velocity to throw the ball — two key components of a successful pitcher — but not being able to find the strike zone. In baseball, this is known as the ‘yips’ and it can be potentially fatal to a players’ future in the game, no matter how young or old they are. In fact, Rick Ankiel was a pitcher with Major League Baseball’s St. Louis Cardinals from 1999 to 2004 when all of a sudden, he lost his ability to throw strikes consistently. Ankiel wound up switching to the outfield and played on and off in the Major Leagues until retiring this season after playing more than 600 games as a position player. Langley’s Kristjan Storrie had a severe case of the yips at the start of this season. “For two months, I had the yips,” said the 17-year-old right-handed pitcher. “It was not fun; it was rough, but I just powered through it. I just had to grind through it. “And after that, it was a pretty good season.” In 2013, Storrie went 6-2 with a 2.27 earned run average and 34 strikeouts in 40 innings for the Langley Blaze. But this past year, the 17-year-old strug-

gled, going 1-1 in five appearances with a 4.08 ERA and 10 strikeouts in a dozen innings. The main problem was walks as he issues 14 base-on-balls. “He struggled at the beginning, but he really came on in mid-June, July and got better,” said Langley coach Jamie Bodaly. The problems were most likely external. “He had a lot of pressure coming at him from all over, from scouts, agents and stuff,” Bodaly said. “People put a lot on his shoulders and a lot in his head. “They put too much pressure on him (and) everyone said something to him.” The external pressure was the result of Storrie’s potential. After all, Storrie had reached 93 miles per hour on a radar gun and he had a pitcher’s build, standing six-foot-four and 200 pounds despite just being in his late teens. The Blaze coaching staff’s solution was to have Storrie not even think about pitching in a game. Instead, he began taking batting practice and played the occasional game as a positional player. Eventually, he regained some of his form, pitching primarily in the Seattle Premier League, a second league the Blaze joined in 2014.

Storrie did talk with a sports psychologist about overcoming his problems and the key was to just work hard and try and forget about it. “I just had to come out and do my thing,” he said. “I just kept throwing and got the feel back.” And once the yips were behind him, it has been a fairly successful season. In August, after the Blaze won the provincial title, Storrie was invited to California for the Area Code Games, one of the biggest showcase events. The Games see eight regional teams which are run by Major League Baseball teams. Storrie, who played on the Northwest Team (Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Hawaii and western Canada) was one of just five Canadians invited to the event. “It is a big honour just to get invited,” Bodaly said. “It is the most prestigious event there is and he did really well.” And next week, Storrie is off to Toronto where he will play at the Rogers Centre as part of Tournament 12. The event invites the top Canadian draft-eligible talent to participate as part of regional teams.

Spartans open with split After a victorious home opener, the Trinity Western Spartans could not duplicate the desired result in their road debut, splitting their opening two matches of the Canada West men’s soccer season. The Spartans got a goal from rookie striker Vito Poletto in the 19th minute on Friday night at TWU’s Rogers Field and that stood as the winner in a 1-0 defeat of the UFV Cascades. But the next night in Victoria saw the Spartans fall behind 3-0 before losing 3-2. Against UFV, Poletto took a pass from Cam Parkes at the top of the Cascades box, turned, beat his defender and then ripped a shot top corner. “It’s amazing and a perfect way to start the season,” Poletto said. “I can’t really explain it. It hap-

pened too fast, I just hit it top corner.” That was all the offence the team needed as goalkeeper Evan Lowther made four saves for the clean sheet. “I think we gave away too many restarts throughout the match, but having said that, I think in the second half we were a little better in that regard,” said Spartans coach Pat Rohla. “Overall, there is lots for improvement, but I’m ecstatic with a win at home on our first night with a brand new group of guys. There’s a lot of room for growth, but I’m proud of the boys. “I think Mitchell Rohla did a great job defensively for us tonight and I think Brayden Gan is back to form.” Against the Vikes, Michael Baert potted a pair 10 minutes

apart and in the 50th minute, Cameron Stokes put the hosts ahed 3-0. Matthew Roxburgh and Elijah Adekugby scored six minutes apart to pull the Spartans within a goal but that would be as close as the team came. The Vikes had a 13-5 advantage in shots on goal with Andrew Hicks coming up with 10 saves. “We absolutely shot ourselves in the foot today with the goals that we let in,” Rohla said. “All three goals were very preventable.” The Spartans first goal came when Roxburgh — who had drawn the free kick — was able to bury a rebound past Vikes keeper Pawlowski into the goal. The second score was also off a free kick, this time from long range, which managed to elude the keeper.

Five Blaze players off to Toronto From Page 40

Storrie is one of five members of the Blaze invited: Tony Pharand (SS/2B), Hayden Jaco (catcher), Kyle Ross (pitcher) and Dakota Curry (1B) are the others. All five are eligible for the 2015 MLB Draft. Storrie, who enters Grade 12 at Langley Secondary once school resumes, has already verbally committed to Central Arizona Community College.

But getting drafted is the main goal. Playing professionally has been the goal since Grade 9. “It just clicked that I could probably go far,” he said. And once his fastball started hitting higher speeds, the scouts began paying attention. Last summer, Storrie clocked in at 87 mph and in the fall, the speed hit 89. And it was in February, that Storrie’s velocity reached 93 mph. He spent some time

with the Canadian junior national team program during the spring, but did not make the team’s final roster. He is still on Baseball Canada’s radar for 2015. “He has off the charts potential,” Bodaly said. “He has what scouts look for: he is a big, tall, lanky pitcher who throws the ball real hard. “If he comes out and has a real good spring and throws strikes — because he has got

Bears defence comes up big with pair of shutouts Defence reigned supreme for a pair of North Langley football teams as both the Bears peewee and bantam teams delivered shut-outs in week two of the Valley Community Football League. The games were played on Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park. The peewee Bears hosted the Meadow Ridge Gold Knights, winning 24-0. Mathieu Gale rushed for a pair of touchdowns, while Jordan Williams and Jaxon Stebbings ran for one touchdown each. North Langley’s Brandon Folkerts and Nicholas Reimer keyed a strong defensive effort. ••• The bantam Bears were on the positive end of a 38-0 lopsided score in their game against the Westside Warriors. In the bantam game, Ryan Barthelson raced downfield to

recover the opening kickoff and the Bears never looked back in a 38-0 trouncing of the Westside Warriors. Zander Bailey rushed for four touchdowns and Andy Hanlen caught a touchdown pass from Jacob Stebbings for another score. Jake Evans also rushed for one score and was instrumental — along with Mason Block — in leading the stingy Bears’ efforts. And kicker Charlie May had an excellent game, making sure the Warriors started their offensive series deep in their own end. ••• The North Langley Bears atom squad suffered a heartbreaking loss, falling 14-6 to the Meadow Ridge Gold Knights. Despite the defeat, the Bears had some bright spots. Manny Fotiou delivered a pair

Sun burn Rams in first-place showdown In a game dominated by defence, it was the Okanagan Sun coming out on top in the battle of the top two junior football teams. The Sun defeated the Langley Rams 31-10 on Saturday night at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl, improving to 5-1 with four games to play in the B.C. Football Conference regular season. The Rams fell to 4-2. Neither team was able to generate much offence — Langley mustered just six first downs and 179 yards of net offence while the Sun had 14 first downs but only 139 yards of offence. Both teams were sloppy as the Rams threw five interceptions and twice more turned the ball over on downs. Okanagan wasn’t much better, throwing one pick and losing three fumbles. Langley even opened the scoring with Ethan Schulz scooping

up a fumble and returning it 24 yards for the major and a 7-0 lead. But the Sun’s special teams took over, with Robbie Yochim’s 50-yard punt return tying the score and Brennan Van Nistelrooy executing a fake punt for 40 yards and the go-ahead touchdown. The Sun added two more touchdowns — a seven-yard pass from Cam Bedore to Lerone Robinson and a two-yard run from Kasey Russell — as well as a field goal to lead 31-7 at the half. The Rams defence then held Okanagan to zero points and just 41 yards of net offence in the second half. And despite more success moving the ball themselves — 174 of the team’s 179 yards of net offence came in the second half — Langley was limited to three points off a Steve Thomas field goal.

Daniel English caught six passes for 92 yards and Jordan Traversy rushed the ball 11 times for 45 yards. The Rams offensive line held the Sun to just one sack, while Langley’s defence got to Bedore five times, including a pair of sacks from Schulz.

There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy! Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-compact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a

daily commuter or it’s your second car to accommodate a bigger SUV or truck, I would recommend taking one out for a test drive to see if it fits for you in what you are looking for in a car.

To one person it might be having all the refinements and The K900 is based on the same platform as the Hyundai gadgets available in a modern car accompanied with a Equus but differs in price and content. For a full-sized smooth and quiet ride. To another buyer it might just be car with limo-like dimensions, the K900 about the name on the front of the car, letstarts at a remarkable $49,995 for the ting all to see it that the owner has “made V6 model and $60,995 for the V6 premiit” establishing a certain status in society. um model.

Audi Q7

Inside Every person that sat in the K900 was blown away with the refinement, fit and finish and especially the materials used. The V8 test model had leather covering the front of the dash and piano finish on the wood trim accented. Add in tasteful chrome and aluminum, dark, rich wood on the steering wheel and centre console and the K900 looks like a million bucks. The front and rear seats came with ventilation and V8 models have a rear seat reclining feature. Despite spending countless hours behind the wheel travelling with two children in the back, the car offered a very relaxing ride for the passengers, and the kids especially liked the cooled seats on a very hot day. The centre infotainment screen is controlled with a rotary dial in-between the front passengers and is very similar to Audi’s MMI system. Drive The V6 model comes with the very competent 3.8L engine that puts out 311hp. having tried this in other Hyundai/Kia products and it is smooth and powerful. The V8 is superb, with 420hp coming from a 5.0L V8, there is no lack of power. The shift in the auto industry is to smaller engines that utilize turbo charging but Kia is sticking with good old engine displacement to get the job done. Covering more than 1,000km, the real world fuel economy was 12L/100km on the highway. To say that the K900 is smooth and quite is an understatement,

Fall for Audi

I would put this car up against the new S-Class from Mercedes and a blindfolded passenger would have a hard time distinguishing the difference. What does become apparent is the K900’s lack of steering feedback to the driver and cornering ability. On Highway 3 from Hope towards Penticton the K900 wallowed in the switchback corners, it really didn’t like it at all. Driving back on the Coquihalla was a different story; the K900 shines in open road cruising, making it a wonderful long road trip companion. Verdict The K900 is Kia’s very first pure luxury car and they got a lot right. The interior is as good as anyone in the marketplace and Kia does it at a substantial discount to the competition and power isn’t a problem especially with the big V8 available. But there were a few problems. The automatic lock and unlock feature on the outside doors only unlocked. This is probably a quick fix but an issue and the Bluetooth audio didn’t work either. Another stumbling block is the lack of all wheel drive (AWD). In this segment almost all vehicles sold come with AWD, in fact most companies only offer it. The market for this car is a happy existing Kia owner wanting to upgrade to something more and that is where the V6 model comes into play. Kia might not sell many of these cars but they have it for sale to show anyone that is interested that they can make a true luxury car, maybe not in name but in features and refinement. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to! That said the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it. Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider, and sheds 100kg in the making. It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design language. This two-seater also comes with sexy character lines from its four corners. Furthermore, up front, you’ll notice its headlights that look like they’re eyeing its prey; unlike the first generation’s pop up/down headlights that were more than welcoming. Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there will be a polarizing reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind. Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show. Either way, I can’t wait to drive it. www.mazda.ca alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca
