Langley resident Rae-Lynne Dicks began her career as a 911 operator in 1995. She left the job after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and began studing at University of the Fraser Valley. She has conducted the first research in Canada on the prevalence of PTSD symptoms among Canadian 911 operators as part of her Master of Arts in criminal justice degree.

Vigorous debate on proposed transit tax T RANSP ORTATION PLAN PROS AND CONS FOR LANGLEY GET A FULL AIRING FRAN K B U CH O LT Z Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The pros and cons of voting for a 0.5 per cent congestion improvement tax to improve transit and roads in the Metro Vancouver region were debated in depth Tuesday night, at the monthly Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce meeting. The issue has been a divisive one for the chamber, which has bucked the trend of most business groups backing the tax. President Kristine Simpson said the board has “spent a considerable amount of time on the referendum issue,” and ultimately voted not to support the tax because of concerns about the loss of business in Langley to areas like Abbotsford and the United States, the level of improvements promised for Langley, and the possibility that Langley projects would be delayed or cancelled if others go over budget. “We are focusing on informing members and helping to ensure that residents vote,” she said. As part of that effort, Bill Tieleman of the Better Transit and Transportation Coalition, which backs the tax, and Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, which opposes the tax, debated its merits and faults for close to an hour. The debate was at times personal, and kept the packed room at Cascades Convention Centre entertained. Tieleman said the coalition is made up of 70 different groups ranging from the B.C. Chamber of Commerce to the David Suzuki Foundation. “The referendum is not about the past or even the present. It’s about our future and our grandchildren’s future. It is not about TransLink. Its management or mismanagement is not on the ballot. It is a unique opportunity to vote on a plan to fix roads and buses.” He said the region is poised to grow by one million people in the next 30 years, and the plan agreed to by the Mayors’ Council will ensure that 70 per cent of residents will have access to more frequent transit across the region. Bateman said the main issue for the No side is that the money to be raised goes to TransLink, which has proven many times that it cannot manage taxpayers’ money well. He said he is not opposed to transit expansion, and as a Langley Township councillor, he had called for increased transit in the community. “The list of waste at TransLink is legendary,” he said, saying 450 staffers make in excess of $100,000 and there are six different unaccountable boards, who conduct

virtually all their business behind closed doors. “As my unlikely ally (Burnaby Mayor) Derek Corrigan says, TransLink is a beast that eats money,” he said. “For me, the first job is fixing TransLink,” he said. Tieleman countered that TransLink may well need fixing, but that is up to the provincial government, which controls it. He suggested that people concerned about how it functions contact their MLAs and ask for changes. “I’m happy to talk (to the province) about governance changes, and I’ll go with Jordan to Victoria to do so,” he said. Bateman said the transit improvements being sought can be funded by local municipalities, if they agree to devote 0.5 per cent of the new money they receive from growth each year to regional transportation. He said the Pattullo Bridge will be replaced no matter what happens in the referendum, because it will be a toll bridge. He also said that Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner has said the three LRT lines FR A NK B UC HOLT Z Langley Time s planned there, one of which is supposed to eventually extend to Langley City, will Bill Tieleman of the “Yes” campaign, promoting passage of the referendum for a new tax to be built if the referendum fails, as she has fund transit improvements, debated “No” campaigner Jordan Bateman of Canadian Taxpayers Federation on Tuesday night. said she has a “Plan B.” Bateman decried the plan for its limitThe LRT line along Fraser Highway, to be five South Fraser mayors got together to ed benefits for Langley.

Community safety is still top of mind for newly-elected Langley City Mayor Ted Schaffer. Schaffer called a meeting at City Hall on Tuesday with Transit Police, RCMP and Langley media to talk about the efforts being made to improve people’s safety, after several disturbing and violent crimes have taken place around the bus loop and 7-Eleven. “I’m still getting calls several times a week from concerned citizens about the homeless and about not feeling safe around them, but they have rights too,” said Schaffer. “Yes, we have a shelter but some of these people don’t want to go there. I don’t have the answers.” That is why he is creating a homelessness task force, which will have community members involved, including representatives from BC Housing, Stepping Stone, the BIA and the Langley Chamber. “We are hoping to retain a consultant to guide us through the bureaucratic channels,” he said. Innes Plaza, at 204 Street and Fraser Highway, has re-opened with numerous surveillance cameras now installed. Better lighting is also now in place.

mobile and foot patrols.” In those times, transit police have noticed an improvement at the bus loop. So has Langley RCMP Staff Sgt. Dave Carr. “Crime rate in the City is down and we’ve had no problems at the bus loop,” said Carr. However, efforts will continue. A joint five-week project of patrolling the bus loop and adjacent areas is starting next week. It will involve the RCMP and transit police, and will take place during afternoon peak hours. “We will be doing street checks and going on buses,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Shannon Savinkoff, the community liaison officer who will work out of the City CPO. Police will re-evaluate then to see if such concentrated efforts are still needed. Two task forces related to public safety will be proposed at the Langley City council meeting on Monday for consideration, including a crime prevention task force headed up by Schaffer, and the homelessness task force, headed by Councillor Gayle Martin. New councillor Val van den Broek, who worked at the Langley City CPO for nearly a decade, will be the council liaison to both task forces, from her position on council’s public safety committtee.

dealing and robberies. City manager Francis Cheung said the cameras aren’t monitored but if a crime is committed, they can review the footage from that time and provide it to police. Crime around the Logan Avenue bus loop has also been a major concern that saw Schaffer demand transit police step up patrols. Schaffer said he successfully got the Chan family, who own the nearly-empty Rainbow mall at the bus loop, to install lighting at the empty store front where Liquidation World used to be. Prior to the new lighting, the bus loop was very dark at night. Cascades Casino has also installed lighting at the back to light up the road behind its building. TransLink has also agreed to install better lighting at the loop. The poles still have to be ordered so those improvements are around three months away. Security cameras at the trasit exchange are a more thorny problem, as that requires permission from the privacy commissioner. Getting permission isn’t easy, police say. Transit Police deputy chief officer Ed Eviston said since the City requested more presence at the loop, they have been there “at least 32 times conducting

major paper about PTSD among Canadian 911 operators. She has conducted the first research in Canada on the prevalence of PTSD symptoms among Canadian 911 operators as part of her Master of Arts in criminal justice degree at University of Fraser Valley. Dicks sent survey questions to operators at six different organizations across Canada, including police, ambulance and fire that included a PTSD check list, requested information about how they cope and education, prevention and treatment provided by their employers. Of the 146 operators who responded, 80.14 per cent reported experiencing at least one PTSD symptom, 30.8 per cent had a total symptom severity score of equal to or greater than 28, and 8.9 percent met all the symptom criteria for diagnosis of PTSD. More than 88 per cent said they cope by making their situation better but 43 per cent said they use alcohol or drugs to cope. A shocking 19 per cent said they have given up on the attempt to cope. The pool of operators surveyed should be bigger, she said, but her findings indicate that more support and more research is needed. From her findings, Dicks is now hoping to work with 911 call centres around the country to assist organizations in developing and implementing peer support programs to ensure

operators are receiving the support that they need after dealing with a major crisis. She has joined a group of professionals through the Mood Disorders Society of Canada to do just that. “In almost all emergencies, once we are done with that call, we continue taking calls. For an officer, after an emergency call they do paper work and debrief. For 911 operators, they keep working. They can’t unplug,” she said. And in a big call centre like E-Comm, an operator can take 40 to 120 calls a shift. “It’s the constant exposure to trauma that is the difference,” she said. “A police officer will deal with up to 12 calls per shift.” Plus, there is no closure for a 911 operator. “We don’t get the satisfaction of arresting the bad guy or knowing what happens to the bad guys after we take the call,” she said. She believes there should be protocol in place that allows an operator to say, “I’m traumatized. I need a break.” That person would then be able to go off and talk with a person trained in debriefing after trauma. But like other first responder cultures, there is stigmatization that everyone needs to be tough, and that leads to no one speaking up. The silence has led to suicides among 911 operators, she said. Suicides among paramedics and police officers has been on the increase in Canada and highly publicized as of late.

Operators are also not allowed to talk to anyone close to them about what they dealt with at work, for fear that someone’s privacy would be compromised. This leaves them no one to talk with and reduces a circle of support. “It creates a disconnect,” Dicks said. One of the key components of being a good 911 operator is the ability to make really important decisions quickly. When you have PTSD, decision making becomes difficult, she said. For Dicks, the accumulation of traumatic incidents over many years created a downhill spiral that led to her diagnosis in 2002. She suffered night terrors in which her psyche replaced victims from calls she took with her family members. Everyone’s experiences with PSTD is different. For Dicks, her diagnosis is considered chronic because it has lasted for more than one year. Dicks thinks awareness and education amongst 911 operators and management is another key component to assisting operators see the early warning signs and seeking help to prevent it becoming full-blown PTSD. Dicks is a volunteer at Badge of Life Canada, www.badgeoflifecanada.com. She recently spoke at the Justice Institute during the 2014 Heroes are Human tour for Tema Conter Memorial Trust. She believes with the right education and support, PTSD can be mitigated among 911 operators.

The owners of a 1989 Caterpillar bulldozer noticed that large equipment had been stolen from their property in Aldergrove on Jan. 15. The property is an undeveloped lot the owners are developing and the area is isolated, dark and heavily treed. The bulldozer had last been seen about two weeks before, when the owner had removed the battery so it could not be started, said police. It would appear the culprit(s) must have had a large flat deck or trailer with a winch or they brought a battery to start the bulldozer. If you have information that might assist with either of these investigations, please call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Concerns heard

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.

For several years, and particularly in the run-up to the municipal election in November, Langley City residents have been expressing concerns about public safety. There was a widespread feeling that people were not safe on the streets, particularly after dark, due to criminal activity. Added to this was the concern about an increasing number of people who are homeless, or suffering from mental illness, on the streets. The issue was likely the most important one for many of those who voted on Nov. 15, and elected Ted Schaffer as mayor in his own right. He had been acting mayor for almost 18 months after Peter Fassbender won election to the B.C. legislature in May, 2013. Schaffer was listening. He is finalizing recommendations for the make-up of two task forces, one on community crime prevention, and the other on homelessness. These recommendations will go to Langley City council on Monday. He also convened a meeting in December with TransLink Police and Langley RCMP, and invited local media to attend and get answers about crime in the City in general, and in particular get to the bottom of issues involving the Langley City bus exchange. Several initiatives were outlined, and a follow-up meeting on Tuesday heard that a pilot project involving foot patrols and other visibility measures, involving both the RCMP and TransLink Police, will begin next week. TransLink Police now has issues in Langley, both at the City bus loop and at Carvolth exchange, higher on its radar screen. TransLink is also contributing money for better lighting at the City bus exchange, and adjacent property owners have also increased their lighting. The mayor deserves credit for not letting these issues fester, or adopting a “business as usual” approach. Proactive actions should help make the City safer.

Canada may have invested beyond its means in an oil boom that has come to a crude halt. Sure, the cheaper pump price has a direct impact for consumers who will have more disposable income. But, as a result, are we spending this money on imported goods? If so, this may eventually lead to more of our hard-earned dollars being shipped offshore in exchange for the perishing and disposable products we allow in. In the short term, this drop in gas prices may directly be good for the consumer, but why have prices for other goods and services not followed suit and also decreased? Or will they decrease and that will be the beginning of the deflation period for our country? We have already seen the loonie shrink in value. Will the cost of imported consumer goods increase as the loonie increases? Around 112,000 jobs are linked to the oil industry. With less oil production, less labour is required and this has a negative impact on spending overall. These mining workers can no longer afford the lifestyles they have been living, they stop spending and can no longer service their debt. The flow-on effect continues. Consumers begin to think prices will continue to fall and delay their purchases but, as we all know, the growth of an economy relies upon consumers spending now. As a result of the government spending more on employment insurance, tax revenue decreases or governments could ask for more money from your pocket each week. Not such a big saving now, is it? With cheaper gas prices, will people use more of this fleeting resource? Will investment into renewable resources be crippled and take longer to develop? Will we become more reliant on oil as a result of this price crash? It is not all doom and gloom having a weaker dollar, we can market our destination to the U.S. market, which is just down the road, but do we have the infrastructure and tourism product to take advantage of our weak loonie now, considering the volume required to sustain our shrinking disposal incomes? If saving at the pump is really that appealing to us, then why have we not become less dependent on our vehicles? — Rossland News

Should Langley Secondary School be closed within the next few years? YES 43% NO 57%

www.langleytimes.com The Langley Times

Thursday, January 22, 2015 7

Editorial taught student some new lessons Editor: I would like to address an editorial that was published on Jan. 6 about the possibility of Langley Secondary closing. I am in Grade 10 at LSS. Ever since I entered LSS, I have had a four-year plan at the back of my mind. Since Grade 6, (my first year at Stafford), my plan has been to get ahead, get straight As, get scholarships, and be named valedictorian. Ever since I have heard about the closure of LSS, I have been worried and freaking out. Should I try to graduate a

year early and not get as many credits, not take all of the classes I was planning on taking and not aspire to be valedictorian? Well, my parents have told me that is the wrong idea. The last thing I would want to do is go to a new school. I would have to rebuild who I am, worry about the social aspect of school instead of my grades, and try to make close relationships with my teachers again. If I thought I had five months until LSS closes down, I would be doing some

things a little bit differently. Now I have found out that I don’t need to stress as much, because LSS is not closing down in June. Throughout my high school experience, I have been taught to confirm my sources and not believe everything I read on the internet. However, a newspaper source isn’t Wikipedia and it should be reliable. Now I don’t mean to throw any arrows at you. However, when I want to know information about my school (that affects my future), I won’t be going to the media

for my information. I know the closure does not affect you directly, however it does affect me, my peers and my teachers and through your misinformed editorial, you have unnecessarily raised anxiety throughout the LSS community. I hope to be able to say that I have taught an adult about responsible journalism. TAYLOR SWIFT, GRADE 10 LSS STUDENT

How about eliminating either the Ministry of Transportation or TransLink? How about the Agricultural Land Commission — they have had 40 years to designate agricultural lands. Those lands should not be negotiable at any price. Liquidate ICBC. There is no mandate to monopolize auto insurance, particularly at above-market rates. Sell B.C. Place Stadium with the $500 million roof. Operating an arena is definitely not a core government need. All of the above could provide instant funding for Site C and TransLink, with no increase in taxes or interest charges for borrowed funds. That’s just the start. Today’s priority should be about reaffirming what role government should play in our society — at all levels of government. The point of their current existence is absent, and to fund this exponential growth they have stretched resources far beyond their means. They need to get back to core services and quit bilking the public. It is in government’s self-preserving interest, and not taxpayers’ interest, to influence our society via continually offering new useless services (loosely defined and requiring more tax funding to expedite) or alternately by using moral suasion. For example, society is encumbered to allocate transgender swimming times at public pools. Money is no object when it comes to installing a prosthetic eyeball in a rockfish

(they will argue it’s not government money, but just follow the paper trail). The newest disease entry in the world of medicine is called obesity. The public also learned from government where it is perfectly acceptable to have a fulldress marriage ceremony for two dogs. Faulty logic today does not escape government initiatives — in fact those types of scenarios are largely created by governments. For example, bridge tolls are increased because there is insufficient usage. Ditto ferry fares. Whatever school teaches that philosophy needs to be shut down immediately. So if we go back to the common sense camp, let’s start by putting a moratorium on all new projects. It is blatantly obvious that governments and politicians don’t want to police themselves. For as long as I can remember, they have paid lip service only to practising transparency and accountability. It is time to specifically legislate as a crime when any public official or legislator embellishes, deceives or lies while campaigning or performing their duties. We need to legislate personal restitution for all ill-conceived or biased projects. We need to legislate that any member with input toward the creation of new taxes, fees or tolls must waive any exemption, reimbursement or deduction for the intended new tax. Thus there is no conflict of interest. Once these politicos are reined in, I doubt you can make a business case for Site C or transit funding. If there is no immigration, there is no need for additional power or transit. RICHARD KEILL, LANGLEY

Editor: Small business is the back bone of our country. We are the largest employer and the largest contributor of tax at all levels of government. Many of us are also the ones who give back the most to the community as well. We are solutions-driven. All of us face struggles at times and we find solutions to keep our businesses going. Most of us are not getting rich, and have employees who take more from the business than we do. Wouldn’t it have been prudent to consult with us on finding a solution to the TransLink dilemma? Most communities have business groups with expertise on what the community needs. As these associations are run by self-employed business owners, consultation could have made a huge difference. I don’t doubt that we need better transportation for our communities, not just to reduce congestion, but to find cost-effective ways to help all of the folks in our communities get around to jobs and shopping without having to invest in cars, and therefore contributing to our carbon footprint. Aldergrove has one of the largest industrial parks in the entire Lower Mainland, with the largest employer in our area, and there is not one bus to get employees there. Some of these companies employ young people, many who are struggling trying to raise a family, or seeking employment after education. These people cannot afford to purchase a vehicle to get to work without getting a job first. Langley has the largest per capita

use of cars. This is no secret. Why? For many of our citizens, they came to the valley simply because they couldn’t afford to live in the big cities, yet many are employed in the cities so they have to commute. I am sure many would love to get on a bus or train to get to work, but there is almost no transportation here. The mayors’ plan offers nothing for Aldergrove, yet one new bus route would make a huge difference. We are not asking for a train, but one bus to travel from Aldergrove downtown to Gloucester Estates and back, a couple of times a day. If the required funding came from property tax, mayors would have to cut a cheque to TransLink. There would be more focus on what is best for individual communities. Mayors would be more interested in what the consumer and small business owners need to prosper. They would also be more intent on getting a fairer share of transportation. I would like a bigger house or nicer car, but I don’t expect the business across the street to pay for it. Big city mayors should not ask small towns with poor transportation to pay for theirs. Aldergrove is likely the most vulnerable of all the communities for an increased sales tax because of geographic location, yet we are also one of the few communities that will get nothing from the plan. I am not opposed to finding a way to fund TransLink, but I am opposed to this method. BRUCE HESLOP, ALDERGROVE

Gas thieves are the likely culprits behind U-Haul truck fire at Aldergrove Market Tuesday, Jan. 20 around 3 a.m. The alarm was sounded by staff at the 7-Eleven store across 272 Street from the market, on Fraser Highway. The blaze was extinguished by Aldergrove fire fighters before it could spread to neighbouring buildings. Over the years the market’s U-Haul trucks have been repeatedly hit by gas thieves who drill into the gas tanks when the gas caps are locked.

Arrest made in connection with Dec. 2 gun shot incident in City M ONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Police have made an arrest in connection to a single gun shot being fired in the back alley of a City apartment complex on Dec. 2, 2014. The shot fired and a subsequent home invasion on Jan. 5 are all tied to drugs and money, say Langley RCMP. More than a dozen police descended on the apartment complex and back alley in the 20200 block of 54A Ave. on Dec. 2. Police collected evidence, however those involved weren’t identified or found at the time. Since that time, Serious Crime investigators have expended many hours gathering evidence, speaking to witnesses and sifting through information to determine exactly what took place. RCMP officers were initially told of an altercation in the alley and advised of a white Dodge Charger seen leaving. Investigators were able to identify the registered owner and eventually the driver. On Jan. 5, Langley RCMP were called to a disturbance with no real specifics. Police attended however the parties involved were unco-operative, said Cpl. Holly Marks. The following day, a citizen contacted police concerned for the safety of a family member. Police were able to determine the previous day’s disturbance was actually a home invasion and both incidents (Dec. 2 and Jan. 5) were related. “Indications are the clash was related to drugs and money,” said Marks. On Jan. 9, Langley RCMP arrested 43-year-old Langley resident Matthew Endean. He is alleged to have been in possession of a loaded firearm and marijuana at that time of his arrest. He is charged with a number of criminal offences including unlawfully discharging a firearm, assault with a weapon, uttering threats, possession a prohibited firearm with ammunition and breaching previous court orders. He has been held in jail and appears next in court on Thurs-

Police examined the scene of a shooting near 202 Street and 54A Avenue which happened in the afternoon of Dec. 2. The incident has since been connected to a Jan. 5 home invasion. A 43-yearold Langley man was arrested on Jan. 9. day (today). “Incidents seemingly absent of a logical explanation, such as gun shots in the City area, are an immediate cause for concern for police,” said Langley RCMP Supt. Murray Power. “Some of the specifics surrounding this investigation set off early alarm bells warning of potential future violence. Langley RCMP will continue in their efforts to do everything we can to catch up to and get ahead of these violent individuals.” Endean was given two years probation for an assault in Langley in 2011 and was back in court numerous times for breaching that probation. He was fined $2,700 for disobeying a court order in 2013 among other charges over the years.

Effort wrapped up $17K for School District Foundation NEXT FUNDRAISER SET FOR VALENTINE’S DAY Langley School District Foundation’s gift wrapping centre at Willowbrook Shopping Centre was a bigger success than expected, raising more than $17,000 for students. From Dec. 5 to 24, 300 volunteers wrapped thousands of gifts to support school programs. “When the mall asked us to run the gift wrapping centre, we were thrilled,” said Susan Cairns, LSDF executive director. “The amount raised was more than we expected.”

The volunteers, including Langley teachers, administrators, staff, parents and students, as well as Foundation staff and directors, worked every day, all day from Dec. 5 to 24. “It was crazy at times, but it was fun,” said LSDF co-ordinator, Laura d’Alva. “We wrapped everything from huge 8’ x 10’ pictures to sapphire rings in tiny boxes, from a set of car keys for a new $60,000 vehicle, to dollhouses, computers and slinky lingerie.” Programs the Foundation

will be supporting, thanks to the gift wrapping fundraiser include new playgrounds, leadership programs, outings for at-risk students, PALS (Parents as Literacy Supporters), dry grads, ESL programs, literacy and technology projects and the Food For Thought campaign. Christmas is all wrapped up but the Foundation is ready with bows and tape again. The LSDF will be at Willowbrook (next to Aldos) from Feb. 12-14 wrapping Valentine gifts.

Metro Vancouver mayors say they’re powerless to cut the pay levels of TransLink senior managers, despite provincial government claims that they are in charge of the issue. The mayors’ council was supposed to gain control over remuneration of TransLink’s board and executives in the latest changes to the transportation authority’s governance made by the province last year. White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin was appointed by other mayors to lead a committee exploring how the new changes will work, and whether pay levels can be changed. So far he’s determined the mayors have no authority under the province’s legislation to initiate their own study of pay levels for TransLink’s directors or managers. “Even if we think it’s outrageous we can’t do anything about it unless it comes to us in a report,” Baldwin said. TransLink’s first new executive compensation plan under the revised legislation hasn’t yet been approved by the TransLink board, according to TransLink spokesperson Cheryl Ziola. Its recommendations on any changes would then go to the mayors’ council for a final vote at a date yet to be determined. But Baldwin says mayors will have no power to alter the plan – they can merely say yes or no – meaning they can likely block any proposed pay hikes but not impose any cuts. “The best we could do is freeze it – that’s about it,” he said, noting any cuts to pay levels could likely apply only to future hires, not existing staff. TransLink executive pay has been an early issue in the transit tax referendum, with ongoing criticism of high bonus payments.

TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis received total compensation including bonuses of $468,000 in 2013, while the chief operating officer and chief financial officer each got $380,000 and four other subsidiary presidents or division vice-presidents got more than $300,000. “The general feeling of the mayors’ council is that’s too high,” Baldwin said. The next TransLink board meeting isn’t scheduled until March 30 and it’s unclear if the pay recommendations will be made public before the referendum is underway. TransLink’s board chair is paid $100,000 a year, while other directors typically collect $45,000 to $50,000, depending on the number of meetings they attend. Baldwin said those amounts are “extraordinarily high” compared to pay for serving on Metro Vancouver’s board and said it’s inappropriate to base pay levels for a government body like TransLink on what private corporations pay their boards. “I really think the whole governance structure needs to be revisited,” he said, adding the mayors should get real power over top payouts and other aspects of TransLink. “We seem to be carrying the can for it,” Baldwin said. “If we’re going to carry the public perception we’re in charge we might as well be.” Mayors mull board seats A new chair and vice-chair of the mayors’ council are to be elected Friday and the group must then also decide if those two representatives are also going to continue to sit on the TransLink board. North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton has served as mayors’ council chair through the crafting of the transit expansion plan. New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright served as

Open meetings urged But Jackson said she will be pressing for open TransLink board meetings so the public can watch debate on most decisions that have been made behind closed doors for the last seven years. “It should be like having an open council meeting about budgets and should this happen or should that happen,” Jackson said. “I don’t think it’s in the public’s interest to spend these billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money in-camera. It’s our money and it’s our service.” Open board meetings were previously pledged by former board chair Nancy Olewiler, but never delivered. Jackson said she wants to provide representation for South of the Fraser residents who she said “pay top dollar including top dollar for fares” while receiving much less access to the transit system.

vice-chair until his defeat in the November civic election. Walton and Wright took two seats offered by the province on the TransLink board in the fall and it was expected the provincial government would also name its own direct representative on the board – something that has not yet happened. “There’s been some talk that the mayors should not participate,” Baldwin said. Some mayors have previously warned they’d be co-opted or muzzled from divulging information if they took the board seats, and criticized for accepting an extra $50,000. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson will run for vice-chair Friday and said she believes there is value in the two chosen mayors sitting on the TransLink board. “If we’re not inside the tent we’re not going to have any idea what’s going on,” she said.

Tree-cutting penalties possible in Township STAFF TO RESEARCH PUNISHMENT IN CASES OF CLEAR-CUTTING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

was nothing on the books that covered the situation (council has approved an interim bylaw restricting tree-cutting in Brookswood, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply to the rest of Langley Township). Without a bylaw setting out a penalty for cutting down trees without permission in Gloucester, Seifi said the best approach seemed to be negotiating a deal. Seifi added the first financial offer from the developer â&#x20AC;&#x153;was significantly lessâ&#x20AC;? than the $37,800â&#x20AC;? Beedie agreed to in the end. It works out to $350 per tree (the number of fallen trees was originally reported at 82, but that figure was revised to 108 in a Dec. 8 staff report to council). Arnason said the current rules that try to restrict tree-cutting without setting out the punishment were â&#x20AC;&#x153;impotent.â&#x20AC;? The proposal was supported by Councillor Michelle Sparrow, who said â&#x20AC;&#x153;there should be some kind of consequence.â&#x20AC;? Township staff are to investigate the matter and report back with suggestions.

After discovering there was no rule that precisely covers clear-cutting without proper permission, a Langley Township councillor has convinced her colleagues to close the loophole in the current bylaws. Councillor Petrina Arnason won support from a majority of council on Jan. 12 for her proposal to look into â&#x20AC;&#x153;creating a strict liability offence or other penalty frameworkâ&#x20AC;? for private property owners who remove trees when they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to. Arnasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s push comes in response to the Beedie Development Group case, where the property owner chopped down all of the trees on property it owns at 56 Avenue and 272 Street in the Gloucester Industrial Area, without getting the necessary approval from Langley Township. Beedie said it was done by accident, the result of a misunderstanding. At their Dec. 8 meeting, council approved a $37,800 settlement with Beedie after Ramin Seifi, the Township general manager of engineering and community development, said there

Academy funding source questioned BR ENDA ANDER SON Tim es Reporter

When is a travel allowance not a travel allowance? The question was raised by a pair of Langley City councillors on Jan. 12, as council voted to spend $3,600 to send six of its seven members to the Local Government Leadership Academy in Richmond from Jan. 14-16. The $600 per person figure included a $300 registration fee as well as $240 for two nights accommodation at the Radisson Hotel and a meal per diem of $60. The problem for veteran councillors Gayle Martin and Dave Hall wasn’t sending six people to the three-day seminar, but where the money was found to do so. Martin (the lone member not scheduled to attend the conference) and Hall both wondered why funds were being drawn from the council’s enterprise fund and not from individual members’ travel allotments. City CAO Francis Cheung said

Family

the reason the enterprise fund was used is that the leadership forum is now held every four years, following an election, to bring new council members up to speed on the workings of municipal government and their role in it. Because it is not an annual conference and because the cost of the seminar has risen over the past several years, while council’s travel allowances have not, the decision was made to use the enterprise fund. “I don’t want anyone to think I don’t value council and the mayor going,” said Hall. “But I question the use of the enterprise fund. The idea that there’s not enough money in the travel fund has no validity.” Each councillor is allotted $2,210 to cover travel expenses for the year. The mayor’s allowance is $3,040. During his time on council there has never been a year when every member used their entire allowance, Hall said.

“It’s added to the surplus that I’ve railed about.” Hall suggested, as he has in past debates, that should another council member use up his or her allotment and need additional funds, they could be taken from his own surplus. “Personally, I’ve not claimed parking, meals or a per diem,” he said. “If others think it’s worth it to stay in hotels …” Martin attempted to object to Hall’s remarks, but was told by Mayor Ted Schaffer that they fell within the scope of the motion. Martin said it was her understanding the courses were geared toward new council members. Schaffer replied that sessions are offered for both new and returning council members at the conference. Hall made an unsuccessful attempt to reword council’s motion so that only registration fees for the course would be taken from the enterprise fund.

Langley Schools Promote Literacy ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, IN EVERY CLASSROOM

The adult literacy issue Literacy is often measured on a prose and document literacy scale of 1 to 5. Level 3, equivalent to high school completion, is the desired threshold for coping with the rapidly changing skill demands of a knowledge-based economy and society (International Survey of Reading Skills (ISRS), 2005). Four out of 10 adult Canadians, age 16 to 65 – representing 9 million Canadians –

struggle with low literacy. They fall below level 3 on the prose literacy scale. Approximately 72 per cent of Canadians below Level 3 are employed. Approximately 53 per cent of unemployed Canadians have scores below Level 3. Lower-skilled adults tend to work fewer weeks, experience more and longer periods of unemployment, and earn lower wages when they are working.

Langley retail landscape changing MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

The retail landscape in Langley is going to look a bit emptier this year, with the upcoming closure of Target at Willowbrook Shopping Centre. Mexx clothing stores also announced it is closing its Canadian stores. The Mexx store at the Power Centre on the Langley Bypass has already started its liquidating sales and plans to close its doors around the end of February. Target opened in Langley in May 2013. Like so many other Target stores, there is no word on what could fill that large space. Sony also announced last week that it closing its Canadian stores. The Sony store that was located on the Bypass shut down a couple years ago already. U.S. retailer Target is abandoning its short-lived foray into Canada. The company says it will close all 133 Canadian stores, including 19 in B.C.. It employs 17,600 people in Canada and the closures could throw thousands out of work in this province. Target chairman CEO Brian Cornell said there was no realistic scenario for the money-losing Canadian arm to reach profitability until at least 2021. It was granted protection from its creditors in Ontario Supreme Court last Thursday. “We had great expectations for Canada but our early missteps proved too difficult to overcome,” Cornell said. “Personally, this was a very difficult decision, but it was the right decision for our compa-

ny.” The Minneapolis-based retailer has B.C. locations in Campbell River, Courtenay, Nanaimop, Victoria, Saanich, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Delta, Surrey, Langley, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Kelowna, Vernon, Cranbrook and Prince George. Target stores will remain open during a court-supervised liquidation. Target is placing $70 million in an employee trust to ensure a minimum 16 weeks compensation, including wage and benefit coverage for workers not needed for the full wind-down period. The decision came after an unsuccessful holiday season, Cornell said, despite best efforts by Target Canada to win over shoppers. The American retail giant launched its Canadian expansion in 2013, buying up former Zellers locations and arranging grocery stock through Sobey’s. SFU business and marketing professor Lindsay Meredith said Target’s invasion of Canada was misguided from the start. It launched with too many stores at once, he said, and it immediately turned off Canadians savvy to lower U.S. pricing when it instead charged prices in line with Canadian retailers. “That was exactly what Canadians did not want to hear,” Meredith said. When stores opened they were missing some of the U.S. brands in home decor and fashion shoppers wanted, he added.

Further blows that entrenched the retailer as a “screw-up” in Canadian minds included a massive data breach at the U.S. parent and recurring problems with empty store shelves. “Empty shelves is a retailer’s kiss of death,” he said. The latest challenge for Target has been the dive in the loonie to 84 cents U.S., which has left the company bridging a growing gap between what it pays for stock in the U.S. and what it sells it for in Canada. But Meredith said he was surprised Target opted for a complete Canadian pull-out, coupled with creditor protection, rather than what he calls a “hedge hog defence” of retrenching to a small number of more profitable stores in key markets. Big winners from Target’s demise will be Wal-Mart, Loblaws, Canadian Tire and even Sport Chek, Meredith predicted. “All these guys will be happy – they just got rid of a major competitor that could have hurt them.” He expects the stores will be sold piecemeal to multiple buyers “who will bite off a piece of the whale carcass” rather than to one replacement chain. Other retailers have also struggled lately, including Sears, and Jacob and Smart Set also intending to close. Meredith said Target’s withdrawal will send a warning to other U.S. retailers considering Canadian expansion, such as Nordstrom’s. — with files from Black Press reporter Jeff Nagel

Good hearing, poor comprehension? The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newlydeveloped hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear. A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the highfrequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not

They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. A new hearing chip has been developed.

and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range.

He is the third all-time point scorer for the Edmonton franchise, racking up 217 points in 64 career regular season games

Small missed all of the 2014 NLL season when he suffered a torn ACL during summer league play in B.C. “I feel great,” said Small. “My knee feels back to normal and I feel just as good as I did before the injury.” “Corey is a player we have had a strong interest in for some time so it’s really exciting to finally get him here,” said Stealth president and general manager Doug Locker. “We believe he’s a natural fit for our offense and provides us with another scoring threat that our opposition has to deal with.” In the summer, Small plays

COR EY SM ALL for the Victoria Shamrocks of the Western Lacrosse Association, helping to the island team achieve back-to-back

Mann Cup appearances in 2013 and 2014. “Getting quality lefthanders in this league is hard to do, so when the opportunity presented to acquire a player of his calibre we jumped at it,” said Locker. Corey Small will make his Stealth debut when the team travels to Colorado to take on the Mammoth on Saturday night. Game time is 6 p.m. viewable online at www.UniversalSports.com. The Stealth’s next home game is on Saturday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. against the Mammoth. Tickets are available at www.StealthLAX.com.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Delta Rise lives up to its name…

Raise your expectations: A residential experience where the sky’s the limit The Delta area is moving up and quickly being recognized as a desirable place to live – so why not do it in the sky? Picture a curving tower that overlooks sprawling views of the Lower Mainland and you will begin to understand why buyers are excited about Delta Rise by Marshall Mountain Homes and ITC Construction Group. At 37 storeys high, it is the tallest tower in North Delta and offers class, convenience and security in an urban environment. The large decks, expansive outdoor living spaces and oversized windows capitalize on the use of natural light and an airy, open setting. The decks are two to three times the size of a typical high rise, and although the sizes vary on each unit, the large outdoor space is big enough for homeowners to live the life they want. While inside, the open-concept kitchens come equipped with a stainless steel appliance package and polished quartz countertops, perfect for cooking up a meal and entertaining guests. Each floor plan is designed with every day needs in mind and come in a variety of configurations in one-, two and three-bedroom plans. Prices start at $204,900 for the one-bedroom, $242,900 for the twobedroom and the three-bedrooms starting at $412,900 which include two parking spaces! Beyond the feel of spacious luxury, OTEZS Project Marketing’s Bill Szeto says that Delta Rise offers “lock and go living” that allows homeowners to have a great home, plus safety and security to take vaca-

tions without worrying while they are away. “There is also one level living, meaning ease of access, no stairs and smart, open floor plans, amazing views that are unobstructed and substantial amenities.” Some of those on-site amenities include a fitness facility, library, and business workspace including guest wi-fi, an entertainment lounge and theatre. The building also has a rooftop courtyard with a playground, Zen garden and plenty of other green spaces. However, when it comes to features that make these homes stand out, it’s all about the soaring exteriors. “There are no other buildings that will have this many suites with incredible views,” says Szeto. The surrounding neighborhood has plenty of essential services within walking distance, including grocery stores, medical buildings, the new North Delta Community Park and Rec Centre, Sungod Community Centre, restaurants and pubs, shopping centres and schools. Immediately downstairs, there will also be a few businesses, including a coffee shop. When you choose Delta Rise, you are choosing to live an upscale life with extra green efforts in a pedestrian-friendly community. The full 2-bedroom show home is open Monday-Thursday from 1pm - 6pm and on weekends from 12pm - 5pm at 11906 80th Ave Visit the Delta Rise website for more information and housing details: deltarise.ca

Chevrolet expands its electrifying portfolio with the Bolt EV Concept. With a range of more than 300 kilometres, this all-electric stylish crossover is aimed for the masses, not just the select few. “While it’s still a concept, pricing for this type of vehicle will be in the $30,000 range. Not cheap, but certainly attainable. It even allows you to use a smartphone to perform as the key fob.” Acura is showing off the return of its simply beautiful NSX sports car to the market. The Porsche-loving Jerry Seinfeld was flown in to add some celebrity power but there was no — because this $150,000-plus super car speaks loudly for itself. It will be powered by a new Honda V6 mated to a ninespeed dual clutch transmission, assisted greatly by three electric motors — one for each of the front wheels and another to add torque while the turbos get up to speed. Interesting that Honda should be getting back into F1 racing; now it features hybrid power plants! Ford is teasing showgoers with a stunning new 600-horsepower Ford GT, which will more than likely have a price sticker similar to that of the NSX. The Infiniti Q60 concept’s premiere appearance was somewhat overshadowed by the aforementioned machines in the media here. However, Alfonso Albaisa, the Infiniti executive director of design, delivered a passionate description of the high-performance sports coupe that will come to market within the next year, with a price tag somewhat lower than the Ford and Acura products.
