Murder trial is called to a halt MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
The murder trial of Jason Brewer has come to a halt, just after the accused took the stand last week. Brewer, 26, had pleaded not guilty in the stabbing death of his friend Cole Manning, 40, whose naked, bloodied body was found face down on Brewer’s bed New Year’s Eve of 2012. The trial was set to take three weeks, but now it will be coming back to court today (Thursday, April 2) to fix a date. It’s unclear why the trial has stopped. From the beginning of Brewer’s trial, he has admitted to killing Manning. Both were naked at the time of the attack. Brewer stabbed Manning almost two dozen times, leaving the kitchen knife in his victim’s neck. He then fled his Willoughby basement suite and met with a longtime friend, confessing what he had done. That friend called 911. Toxicology reports showed Manning had no drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of his death. Brewer also sent out several text messages before his arrest, some to his girlfriend at the time. But it took tracking Brewer’s cellphone for police to find him. They
were able to track him down nearly eight hours after the murder. Police from both Langley and Abbotsford initiated a short pursuit and had to box him in on 264 Street to make the arrest. Manning hadn’t lived in B.C. a long time. A friend of his from Alberta wrote to The Times after the murder,. saying what a kind man he was. The letter said he had moved here to get his life back in order. His family was in the courtroom and some could be seen crying while hearing some of the evidence. For such a short life, Brewer has caused a wake of destruction so far. He deliberately caused a horrific six-vehicle crash on Highway 10, which caused permanent and devastating injuries to a man and a woman in 2009. At that time he was on probation for robbing the Langley Mac’s store. His mom posted bail but then revoked it when he assaulted her with a knife. In the head-on crash he originally pleaded guilty, because he said he was trying to commit suicide. He appealed to retract his guilty plea and won. However, a judge found him guilty anyway, sending him to prison for five years.

No enthusiasm to restart Brookswood planning C OUNCIL WANTS TO WAIT UNTIL STANDING COMMITTEE WORK IS DONE D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
An attempt at restarting the stalled Brookswood community plan didn’t get very far at Langley Township council on Monday (March 30). Councillor Charlie Fox wanted to get going on a new plan to replace the one that was withdrawn in a storm of controversy over increased density proposed in a revised community plan for Brookswood/ Fernridge last year. A staff report said council has five options, make no changes to the 1987 plan, make minor tweaks to it, try again for a major overhaul, make separate plans for Brookswood and Fernridge, or freeze future development in Fernridge. Whatever option is chose, a decision must be made, and soon, said Fox. “Time is relevant in this,” he told council. But the attempt at resurrecting the
Brookswood development debate didn’t get very far, with council unable to agree on the best approach to handling the touchy topic of development in the area of large lots and acreages. Councillor Kim Richter wanted a “public hearing-style” meeting to get public input on the different options. Some place with a lot of room, she said, because Brookswood residents can be expected to turn out in large numbers. Councillor Michelle Sparrow said it made little sense to revisit the Brookswood issue while a special committee of council had just begun examining better ways of communicating with residents. The newly-created Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement aims to overhaul communication with residents in the wake of last year’s bitter battle over a proposal to increase housing density in the Brookswood neighbourhood.
After several public hearings dominated by opponents of the plan, Langley Township council voted it down at an April meeting, overriding the mayor and the only councillor who backed the proposal, Grant Ward (who lost his seat in the November election). The committee has just started meeting and hasn’t had a chance “to get its feet wet,” Sparrow said, arguing any move to resume the Brookswood development debate should stay on hold until the committee has made its recommendations. Councillor Bob Long disagreed, saying sending the issue to a committee was a “total cop-out” and council should be getting public input on the best direction to proceed. “The best thing we can do is put stuff out in open houses and see what people think about it,” Long said.
COUNCILLOR CHAR LIE FOX “We need to re-boot the process.” A majority of council thought differently, voting to hold off on Brookswood planning issues until after the committee has finished its work. Long and Richter voted against the motion.
Proposed provincial ridings split Langley in half TWO OF THREE PROPOSED SEATS WOULD STRETCH FAR INTO ABBOTSFORD FRAN K B U C H O LT Z Ti me s Re po r t e r
The preliminary report of the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission literally divides Langley in half — and combines it with much of western Abbotsford, all the way to the Abbotsford urban area and the Huntingdon-Sumas border crossing. The current Langley provincial riding held by Mary Polak is reduced somewhat in size. Its northern boundary will be Highway 1, western boundary the City of Surrey and on the east, the boundary runs down Glover Road and includes all of Langley City and most of Brookswood. However, the two provincial ridings covering the rest of Langley not only get new names, but both become half-Langley, half-Abbotsford ridings. The boundaries are dramatically different from those of the current Fort Langley-Aldergrove riding held by Rich Coleman. The commission justifies it this way: “Current districts around Langley are well over the provincial average (in population size), necessitating substantial changes to most of the Fraser Valley. “The proposed Langley area electoral districts are reduced in size (both geographically and in population), requiring the remaining district boundaries to shift
east. Major highways are used as natural boundaries to divide the electoral districts. “The Township of Langley is split by Highway 1 north/south rather than east/ west, and the Abbotsford area electoral district boundaries follow Highway 1 and Highway 11 and strive to keep established neighbourhoods together.” The new Fort Langley-Abbotsford riding covers the area north of Highway 1 and goes east as far as Townline Road, Maclure Road and Clearbrook Road, eventually running north to the Fraser River along Glenmore Road. It includes a heavily-urbanized portion of Abbotsford near the Mount Lehman Road freeway interchange, as well as the rural areas of Bradner and Mount Lehman in Abbotsford. It includes a portion of the current Abbotsford West riding, held by Mike de Jong. The Aldergrove-Abbotsford riding is located south of Highway 1. It is located east of the Langley riding, but south of 32 and 36 Avenues, it runs as far west as the Surrey boundary. It continues east all the way to Highway 11, with its southeast corner at the Huntingdon-Sumas border crossing. It includes a portion of the current Abbotsford South riding, held by Darryl Plecas.
B.C . Ele c to ral B o u ndarie s C o mmis s io n
Proposed new provincial riding boundaries would split Langley in half, and create two new ridings that include large portions of Abbotsford. Overall, the commission is proposing two new seats in the provincial legislature, with it expanding to 87 members. The new seats are proposed for Surrey nad Richmond. The proposals and maps can be found at the commission’s website, www.bc-ebc.ca.
Public input on the proposed changes is being accepted until midnight, May 26. Comments can be made through the website, by email to info@bc-ebc.ca or by mail to PO Box 9275, Stn. Prov Govt, Victoria B.C. V8W 9J6. — with files from Tom Fletcher

Trimming paving and construction budgets among cost-cutting ideas From Page 1
at $514,000 will pay an additional $56 a year in property taxes ($4.67 more a month) and $52 more in fees for water, sewer and solid waste services ($4.33 a month) if applicable. The tax increase will pay for adding eight more firefighters and three more “frontline” RCMP officers, plus various paving and construction projects. Some members of council wanted to reduce the amount of paving and construction work as well as delay hiring some of the proposed new police and fire to trim the tax bite, but they were in the minority. Councillor Kim Richter argued against hiking sanitary sewer and solid waste utility fees. Staff said the hikes were meant to end the effective subsidy of those services by non-user taxpayers, a position the rest of council supported. Councillor Bob Long called the fees increase a “one-time hit” to fix the anomaly. Long liked a cost-cutting option suggested by staff that would have delayed adding two of the new police officers about a year, but the rest of council disagreed. Richter and Councillors David Davis and Michelle Sparrow thought trimming paving and construction projects, another staff-presented option, might ease the hit for local taxpayers. However, most of council agreed with Mayor Jack Froese, who said the projects are needed because of the community’s rapid growth. “It’s really just keeping up,” Froese said. Councillor Angie Quaale saw little point in postponing hiring police and firefighters, because the savings were only about $4 a year. “I think most residents would be happy [to pay that amount]” Quaale said. When Councillor Blair Whitmarsh said delaying hiring police and fire amounted to saving “a cup of Starbuck’s coffee per household per year” Richter said small increases still add up. “You can’t always bring it down to a cup of coffee,” Richter said.
• ASK THE EXPERT •
Q: It’s my first time getting a “root
canal” and I’m anxious because I don’t know what to expect. What does it mean to have root canal treatment?
A:
Mammograms are available for women ages 40 and over. Book your appointment today by calling:
604-514-6044 Langley Memorial Hospital 22051 Fraser Highway, Langley, BC To find more Screening Mammography Centres in your area, or to learn about the benefits and limitations of mammography, please visit www.screeningbc.ca/breast
For many people, the thought of receiving root canal treatment can be daunting and mysterious. What is it? Will it hurt? What happens to my tooth afterwards? By addressing these questions below, you will hopefully feel Dr. Cheung, DMD more comfortable about your upcoming appointment. Dentist Root canal treatment is the process of removing infected, damaged, or dead pulp from your tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels that keep your tooth alive – however, when it is infected with bacteria (e.g. from a deep cavity) or badly injured from trauma, then a root canal treatment allows you to keep your tooth instead of extracting (pulling) it. Root canal treatment can take one or more appointments to complete – think of it as a longer, more complicated filling appointment for your whole tooth. For the majority of cases, having root canal treatment feels very much like having a regular filling done. In cases where the tooth is extremely infected, your dentist may need to use a larger amount of local anesthesia to achieve complete freezing, and/or prescribe antibiotics for you to take during the week leading up to your appointment. Once root canal treatment has been completed, your dentist may recommend a crown for that tooth depending on how much tooth structure is left. A back molar tooth will typically require a crown to protect it from fracturing under normal chewing forces. With proper care and regular dental visits, a tooth that has had root canal treatment can last as long as your other teeth.

Councillor David Davis supported delaying some paving projects and postponing hiring some firefighters to keep tax hikes down. Councillor Petrina Arnason said “the cumulative effect of adding tax upon tax,” even small increases, can be hard for seniors on fixed incomes. Another staff-presented option would have delayed hiring four of the eight new firefighters by a year to save money, something Davis thought might have merit, but something Councillor Charlie Fox warned would create a “logistical nightmare” for the fire department. Council voted to hire all eight right away, a decision that will bring the average number of firefighters working each shift from the current level of 18 to 20, which is considered the generally accepted minimum for staffing a fire department. At 18 firefighters per shift, Langley fire trucks have been forced to operate with three- instead of four-person crews about 20 per cent of the time. The situation does not mean increased risk to the firefighters, but it can mean a longer wait before firefighters can enter a burning building because a three-man crew is too small to meet a “two in, two out” safety rule that forbids them from going in alone.

Woman who confessed to killing to be sentenced in court today The woman who shot and killed Kwantlen First Nation elder George Antone will learn her fate on Thursday, April 2 in Surrey Provincial Court. In February, Michele Marie Serdar, 43, pleaded guilty
to the lesser charge of manslaughter. On March 7, 2011, 71-year-old Antone was found shot to death in his McMillan Island home. In November, 2013, the Integrated Homicide investigation
Team announced Serdar had been charged with second-degree murder. She was arrested in Quebec City after an extensive investigation. She was transported to B.C. shortly afterwards to face the charges.
Board of Education meeting to ponder closing Lochiel U-Connect MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
The Langley Board of Education has called a special meeting on Tuesday, April 7 to consider permanently closing Lochiel U-Connect school. The only agenda item for this meeting is the notice of motion to consider the permanent closure of the south Langley school. Lochiel U-Connect Centre offers a unique, blended, sitebased/home learning environ-
ment for students from Kindergarten to Grade 9. In addition to supporting the 200 students who are on site, some tutorials are offered online via web-conferencing. Students can log into a class from home. Located at 1460 224 Street, the school caters to students who don’t work well in traditional schooling. Many more students with anxiety are connecting and succeeding at Lochiel. Langley School District has
been looking into which school sites it can sell, in order to pay for building a new high school in Willoughby. The provincial government wants the district to come up with as much as half the capital cost, estimated to be at least $60 million. Closure of Langley Secondary had been up for consideration, but trustees resoundingly agreed that LSS has value and should stay. The meeting is at 7 p.m.

Robbery suspect walks after waiting 853 days for trial PROVINCIAL COURT JUDGES IN ALBERTA AND BC THROW OUT CASE AGAINST LANGLEY SUSPECT DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
the B.C. case should be thrown out for the same reason the Alberta charges were, because the delay violated the accused constitutional right to a quick trial. Surrey Provincial Court Judge Ellen Gordon agreed. In a December written judgement recently posted online, Jud ge Gordon noted that MacPherson spent 19 months in custody in Alberta followed by another eight-and-a-half months in B.C. before his trial began. In a sternly worded decision, the judge called the delay “long and inexcusable” and faulted the B.C, prosecutor’s office for the holdups. “The facts of this case beg the question, “What was the decider thinking?” Gordon said. “A man has been denied the right to make full answer and defence. A man presumed innocent has been on charge for 853 days.” The judge then ordered the charges stayed.

Charges against a man arrested for allegedly robbing financial institutions in Langley and Edmonton in 2012 were thrown out after judges in B.C. and Alberta ruled the trial delay was excessive. Matthew MacPherson faced charges of robbery and using an imitation firearm while committing an indictable offence in connection with the botched holdup of a Toronto Dominion branch in Langley on June 22, 2012. When a lone man with an imitation firearm demanded $10,000 from a teller, he was given $250 with an anti-theft dye pack concealed in the bills. The money was abandoned by the fleeing thief after the dye pack exploded in the parking lot just outside the branch. A few weeks later, MacPherson was arrested in Red Deer, Alberta, and charged with four robberies in Edmonton.
The Edmonton Police Service alerted the Langley RCMP, which advised the Crown prosecutor’s office. The office obtained a warrant for MacPherson’s arrest for the Langley holdup, but it didn’t apply outside B.C. The plan was to let the Alberta authorities go first, then the B.C. Crown would get an order returning MacPherson to B.C. to answer the Langley charges. But the Alberta authorities took too long to prosecute. On March 10, 2014, an Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench judge threw out the case for unreasonable delay in part because the defence and prosecution lawyers couldn’t agree on trial dates. The B.C. authorities then managed to obtain a court order to have MacPherson returned to answer the Langley charges, but by then, it was too late. MacPherson’s lawyer argued

The provincial Electoral Boundaries Commission got it drastically wrong, in terms of how it proposes to redraw provincial boundaries in Langley and Abbotsford. In most parts of the rapidly-growing Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley areas, its proposed new boundaries for provincial ridings make sense. They do not make sense in Langley and Abbotsford. Instead of moving the Fort Langley-Aldergrove boundary to the west to take into account growth in Langley, much of which is occurring in the Willoughby area, the commissioners split Langley in half along the Highway 1 alignment. But in order to find enough people to fill two of the three ridings, the commission reached deep into Abbotsford, including rural and urban areas west and south of the Abbotsford-Clearbrook town centre area, and going as far east as the Huntingdon-Sumas border crossing. It would have been far easier to shift Aldergrove and a portion of rural Langley into one of the two Abbotsford ridings — Abbotsford West or Abbotsford South — which now border the Township of Langley. Aldergrove has much more in common with Abbotsford than Fort Langley, Walnut Grove or Murrayville do. These long east-west ridings do Abbotsford no good either. Instead of having one representative who can represent Abbotsford strongly, there will be two MLAs (under the proposal) who will try to balance both Abbotsford and Langley issues. The two municipalities aren’t even in the same regional district, and on issues like TransLink or Metro Vancouver’s incineration plans, for example, opinions are sharply different in Abbotsford and Langley. The commission’s report is preliminary and it is accepting comments until May 26. Community groups, business organizations, political watchers and others who have concerns about these proposed boundaries need to let the commission know that they are not acceptable. Details of the proposals can be found at http:// www.bc-ebc.ca/docs/reports/BC-EBC_Preliminary_Report-March_26,_2015.pdf. It is worthwhile to check out the commission’s proposals and make your views known. Both Langley and Abbotsford deserve strong provincial representation.

Question
of the week
Are more taxes needed to reduce foreign investment in Metro Vancouver real estate?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Mayor was right they
Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell was walking with a bit of swagger when he addressed media on Monday in the wake of a damning report from B.C.’s privacy commissioner on Saanich’s use of employee monitoring software. Atwell raised concerns about the Spector 360 spyware program in January, but thanks in large part to its bundling with a series of other revelations — lying about an extra-marital affair, possible police harassment, leaked information about a 911 call — our mayor was framed in national media as a paranoid, blunder-prone rookie politician. It’s amazing how a few months can change perceptions so drastically. B.C.’s Information and Privacy Commisioner Elizabeth Denham left no wiggle room when she lambasted district officials for showing “a deep lack of understanding” about the province’s privacy laws. Denham said she was dismayed by an absence of oversight by Saanich bureaucrats to ensure that privacy rights were being appropriately respected with new security measures. Spector 360, rather than increasing Saanich’s IT security, actually made it less secure by creating a “honeypot” of passwords and other information for external attackers, Denham said. Some Saanich councillors come out of this mess looking rather sheepish in the wake of Denham’s report. They stood confidently by their staff, refusing to consider that Atwell might actually know what he’s talking about as their mayor and a former software engineer. Those naysayers will be thinking deeply about their next public steps, but what’s needed now is a willingness to collectively deal with the modernization of the District’s privacy laws. To expand on a comment from Elizabeth Denham: Welcome to the 21st century. — Saanich News

Too much for bike lanes Editor: Re: “Langley Township to invest in 50-year, $80 million bike lane plan,” (The Times, Feb. 26). I am aghast. Who is this single group of people who demand such high profile and huge funding, to this single extent ? Where was this on the election platform, and who is driving this? Is this the TransLink infrastructure and development we can look forward to for our hard-earned dollars ? I must state clearly that my wife bikes to work each day into Fort Langley. We are both leisure cyclists (as well as enjoying other sporting activities) and are aware of safety issues for cyclists. However, we are both astonished at the single-minded focus on spending huge amounts of hard-earned cash on under-utilized bike lanes and biking trails in the Township, where we do not have enough facilities for our youth. Also, astonishingly, there is not one single trail in the whole of the Township where taxpayers and responsible residents can walk their dog off-leash. In the entire trail or park infrastructure of the Township, dog owners are forced to so-called dog parks which are nothing more than a fenced public back yard. Township residents and taxpayers require a more balanced approach to spending the leisure and lifestyle dollars which is more suitable to the Township, not the approach taken by the City of Vancouver. N. ROWLEY, LANGLEY
Plebiscite was an ‘ill-conceived idea’
Black Press file photo
Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in Langley in August to speak to Fraser Valley Conservatives at a summer barbecue. Letter writer Shane Dyson questions the fairness of the political system which in 2011 gave the Conservatives a majority of seats with 39 per cent of the votes.
Editor: In my opinion, the Metro Vancouver plebiscite will have, for sure, seven ‘yes’ votes and a maybe a few more. To me, this plebiscite was an ill-conceived idea. Yes, our provincial and regional governments have creative thinkers, but they need to go back to the drawing board. Reason? A ‘localized’ provincial tax? Think about that — a localized provincial tax? Any government leader has advisers because a government leader can’t be aware nor understand all issues that arise. Our leaders must rely on their advisers. If it is Christy Clark who is making these calls, then it is Clark who is at fault. If it is her advisers, then she needs to get new advisers — new advisers who have an understanding of what is right and aware of what the future might require. I am wondering if it is our premier who is making these decisions, or her advisers. That would be important to know. Oh, and remember the HST issue. It was implemented and we BCers stood up. We stood up, and the B.C. government folded. My question is simple. If it was a good idea from the beginning, why fold? Any leader needs good advisers, or else. GARY DAVIS, LANGLEY Editor’s note — Although the provincial government agreed to the “localized provincial tax,” the choice to go ahead with it was made by the Mayors’ Council, which includes all mayors in the Metro Vancouver region. Premier Christy Clark has said that any new funding source for transit must be subject to approval by voters in a plebiscite.
Election results are unfair because of voting system Editor: There is something inherently wrong with the first-past-the-post voting (FPTP) system when a political party, with 39 per cent of the votes, can form a majority government and make 100 per cent of the decisions. In the last federal election, 61 per cent of voters wanted someone else in government. Our voting system, since the First World War, has produced 16 majority governments with only four actually winning a majority of the popular vote. This flawed governing structure has an impact on Parliamentary decision-making and our democracy. For example, the Conservatives have extended and expanded Canada’s military mission in Iraq and Syria despite opposition from the NDP, Liberals and Greens. While these parties have fewer seats than the Conservatives, they represent far more voters, in fact, two million more voters. Added to those without much voice are Bloc Québécois supporters. They currently have two
MPs in the House of Commons, despite garnering 889,788 votes in the last election. That was six per cent of all votes cast nationwide. The NDP tabled a non-binding motion last year calling on Parliament to end FPTP voting and introduce a proportional system after the next election. The motion was defeated by a vote of 166 to 110, with the Conservatives voting unanimously against it. Joining the NDP in voting for the motion were Green Party MPs, other independents, and more than half the Liberal caucus. Disappointingly, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau voted against the motion. Perhaps the October federal election will be the last unfair election and 2019 will be the first one conducted under a truly democratic electoral system. SHANE DYSON, ALDERGROVE

B.C. treaty trouble has deep roots Why did the B.C. government suddenly slam the door on their old friend George Abbott, after spending months recruiting him to head up the B.C. Treaty Commission? The instant media narrative, embraced by a shocked Abbott and then by NDP leader John Horgan, was that this was payback for grievances nursed by Premier Christy Clark from the 2011 B.C. Liberal leadership contest. Done on a whim, Horgan said after a week grilling Clark and Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad. Clark is suddenly a sore winner, lashing out, wrecking two decades of careful and costly treaty-making. Like many instant media narratives, this one makes no sense and is almost certainly wrong. If Clark was resentful about the roasting she received from leadership rivals Ab-

Some of the 50 First Nations stuck at the treaty table have borrowed too much to go on, she said last year, calling for an “exit strategy” that forgives debt. The probability of the B.C. government making this decision without talking to the federal paymaster is exactly zero. I’m told the province’s clumsy timing had something to do with Ottawa’s late demands. I asked Clark if her plan to settle land claims faster was anything like the 2009 attempt by Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister Jessica McDonald to negotiate a province-wide deal declaring aboriginal title.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Desirable high-rise urban design in a unique setting that underscores pedestrian friendly convenience and affordability.
EVOLVE stresses livability and sustainability
T
he concept of ‘micro homes’ has been popular for a long time in places like London, New York, and Montréal. Now, WestStone Group is courageously bringing the concept to Metro Vancouver’s tough real estate market, where first-time homebuyers often feel pushed out or overwhelmed. Evolve is a new ‘micro’ high-rise condominium in the heart of Surrey City Centre, quickly proving that sometimes big things come in small packages. The tower is anchored in West Village, an exciting new master planned community where convenience and luxury collide. Kiran Rai, Marketing Director for Macdonald Realty Platinum Project Marketing, says the homes are perfectly priced for a first time buyer looking to get into Metro Vancouver’s real estate market. “We often hear about how unaffordable homes in Metro Vancouver can be, it can be tough for first time buyers to get into the market,” she says. “That’s exactly what makes Evolve unique to other tower homes, because Evolve offers concrete homes for less than the price of wood frame.” Evolve’s “micro” suites are designed for people seeking urban ease in a home offering strategic space. Not only are smaller homes affordable, but they are also considered easier to manage, clean and are incredibly efficient spaces. “Each home has been thoughtfully designed to ensure that there is no wasted space,” says Rai. “While we’ve maximized the square footage of each plan, it’s been done in a way where homes don’t feel cramped. They’re beautiful and functional spaces.” Evolve, which is located a block from city hall, will feature a 316-square-foot studio suite for less than six figures. “This difference in square footage greatly impacts the price of our homes, while also minimizing strata fees,” she says. “Evolve homes start at $93,900, meaning that with a down payment of $5000, your monthly mortgage would be less than a car loan payment; even students can stop renting and afford to buy their own homes.” But Evolve isn’t just getting attention because of its price point. Exclusive to the Evolve Presentation Centre is their Thin-Air Augmented Reality technology that allows home shoppers to essentially walk around inside a virtual version of one of the suites using the free Evolve Condos 3D app on their own phone or tablet. Also, screens
Cleverly designed kitchens and bathrooms provide luxe features and finishings you would expect in higher priced condominiums. Quartz countertops, porcelain tile, engineered hard wood flooring, and polished chrome hardware are some of the finishing details that will compliment your interior design choices at EVOLVE.
inside the presentation centre allow potential buyers to see what a 3D version of their preferred floor plan looks like. The 35-storey tower offers 406 homes in a range of floor plans, including studios, one-
and two-bedrooms, two-bedroom and dens, townhome lofts, and penthouses. The homes themselves offer wood grain laminate flooring throughout the entry, bedrooms, and living spaces; 8.6-foot ceilings
throughout; large windows and spacious balconies to ensure plenty of natural light. The surrounding area is part of a master-planned community of West Village. Downtown Vancouver is accessible by transit at Surrey Central Skytrain Station, and over 140 stores and retailers are located at nearby Central City Shopping Mall. The area offers a community plaza, city hall, library, shopping, recreational facilities and entertainment to ensure urban ease. Or grab a coffee, walk the dog and enjoy a jog or a stroll any time of day through the many paths and parkland of the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. “What’s more is that Surrey was recently named one of the 7 most intelligent cities in the world, according to the Intelligent Community Forum in New York,” says Rai. Evolve is revolutionizing the living experience, and turning a buyer’s dream to own a home into a reality without compromising convenience or location. The Sales Centre is located at 13328 104 Avenue in Surrey, BC. The anticipated date of completion is early 2018. Evolve homes go on sale on Saturday, April 11, 2015. The sale event will be by appointment; interested purchasers are encouraged to get in touch with the sales team. For more information, visit: evolvecondos.com

Kootenay Referendum Questions: chief’s words prove prophetic
Will the plan actually ‘cut congestion’?
From Page 11
Clark sidestepped the question, saying only that the 150 B.C. First Nations not at the treaty table need a say and a solution too. (McDonald now faces a similar legal gridlock as the Clark-appointed CEO of BC Hydro, trying to build the Site C dam.) Pierre, a veteran administrator from the Ktunaxa Tribal Council in the Kootenays, made a prophetic statement when her term as chief commissioner was extended three years ago. She said if Ottawa isn’t prepared to give federal negotiators a realistic mandate on compensation and sharing of salmon rights, they should “shut ’er down.” Her advice may have been heard after all. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Yes forces claim the 10-year plan of proposed upgrades will “cut congestion” and the document itself says drivers will “spend less time stuck in traffic.” The plan projects round-trip time savings once the projects are complete of 15 to 20 minutes per day for drivers on some routes, such as Langley to Metrotown or the North Shore to Tsawwassen, and 20 to 30 minutes for transit commuters. But rarely do Yes campaigners make it clear that improvement is not compared to current conditions, but to the congestion that will exist 10 years from now if the proposed projects don’t proceed and after more population growth. So will drivers face less congestion than they do today if they vote Yes? Urban planner Brent Toderian says it’s safer to say the plan will prevent much worse congestion in the future without the upgrades than to claim it will cut road congestion below current levels. “When they say it’s going to cut congestion it doesn’t necessarily mean our roads are going to be 20 per cent more empty,” he said. “What it means is we’re going to be able to move a lot more people in our region — to the benefit of our region’s success in every way we can think of — without being trapped by congestion and gridlock.” The reality is any room freed up on the roads — whether it comes from building new lanes or by some drivers switching to transit
as that alternative improves — is expected to fill back up and revert to the same level of congestion, a phenomenon called induced demand in planning circles. But Toderian said while road congestion might not change noticeably from the plan’s investments, boosting the transit system’s capacity so it can carry more people will be crucial because of continued population growth, which is forecast to add a million residents over 30 years. Since Metro Vancouver keeps adding residents — and there is no way to stop them from coming — it needs to ensure a growing proportion of us move by transit, while the number driving remains about the same. “It won’t suddenly make the roads empty,” Toderian said of the plan. “But building more options prevents horrible congestion, as we’ve seen in other places where it’s irrational to be in your car but there’s no other option.” He points to cities in China where people could walk faster than the crawling vehicles but nobody does because the poor air quality makes it too dangerous.

to instead try to make more room for cars would be incredibly expensive, wasteful and damaging, Toderian said. “When you build more capacity into transit, you’re moving people with a lot less public money and a lot less space,” he said. More people and cars doesn’t just mean more time lost getting from point A to B in slow traffic, but also more delays looking for parking in increasingly full lots and residential streets. The space required just to park the forecast 600,000 additional vehicles under a do-nothing scenario is estimated to occupy 22 square kilometres, equivalent to one quarter of Burnaby. Other trends are also important, particularly the densification of the region along transit friendly smart-growth corridors that developers now prefer. The plan projects that even without the new investments, the average Metro resident will drive 10 per cent fewer kilometres per year by 2045 than they do today. That’s because over time more people will be in a position to walk, bike or take transit for more trips, or will have chosen to live closer to where they work. The plan’s proposed upgrades
would only cut per capita kilometres driven by another four per cent. What really makes the difference in the mayors’ long-range plan out to 2045 — delivering a further 12 per cent cut — is an assumption that road pricing will be imposed. Apart from economic collapse, Toderian says international experience shows nothing can truly cut congestion other than some form of road user fees. That’s borne out by the free flowing conditions on the Port Mann and Golden Ears toll bridges, compared to other congested free crossings like the Pattullo Bridge. “What we’ve seen is the only things that actually drop congestion are pricing mechanisms – toll roads.” While an actual cut in current road congestion is doubtful, much more bus service should go far to meet demand and reduce overcrowding and delays. The plan predicts the bus system pass-ups that now plague the busiest routes would be virtually eliminated. – Jeff Nagel Referendum Questions is a Black Press series exploring issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and transportation referendum. Voters must mail in ballots by May 29 on whether they support the addition of a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region, called the Congestion Improvement Tax, to fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades.

New location, focus for Tourism Langley MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
From rewarding the fruits of her labour to announcing the event of the year — it was an exciting AGM for Tourism Langley at Cascades Convention Centre last week (March 26). Tourism Langley elected a new board of directors and handed out several awards to stand out businesses, events and individuals who have made a significant contribution to the tourism and hospitality industry. Lifetime Excellence Award went to Driediger Farms with Rhonda Driediger accepting the hardware. The award pays tribute to an individual or business that has made a significant contribution to the tourism and hospitality industry and has committed to attracting and increasing the number of visitors to the Langley’s as a destination. Driediger reflected on changes her family has experienced during their 50 years of operation including the benefits of participating in tourism related campaigns developed by Tourism Langley such as the successful Circle Farm Tour program. Mike Robinson accepted the Event of the Year award for the Aldergrove Fair Days. Celebrating a remarkable 103 years, the event has grown from a small agriculture fair to a showcase of the agricultural roots of the communities and

The Aldergrove Fair Days was presented the Event of the Year Award at Tourism Langley’s annual general meeting last week (March 26). The event has been held for 103 years and has grown from a small agricultural fair to a showcase of the agricultural roots of the community. region and draws locals and visitors for the three day event. The Shining Star award went to Michelle Fung of customer service at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites. She was recognized for going above and beyond and all the pos-
itive comments from guests at the Holiday Inn. Tourism Langley has not only moved locations, it has shifted its focus too. Tourism Langley, once a visitors centre in the Langley Events Centre, has moved to a second-storey
office at E206 20159 88 Avenue. But the office is no longer open to visitors. Staff are focusing on offering information and tasty tidbits about Langley online, through their soon-to-be revamped website and by going out to events and marketing what Langley has to offer, said
Christina Marchand, destination sales and marketing manager. “We will be where the visitors are, out at events and shows, rather than waiting for the visitors to come to us,” said Marchand. “We are not the traditional visitor centre anymore,” she said. “We are offering all of our services online.” Tourism Langley is also creating another website called AskLangley.ca and continues to update its Facebook and Twitter accounts like #langleyfresh with happenings around town. The amount of tourists actually visiting the visitor centre has always been low, with comments made in past years that people would come off the freeway asking directions. Tourism Langley is once again launching the Circle Farm Tour and brochures/map will be available soon around town. The Circle Farm Tour is a fun road map directing visitors to the many farmgate destinations around Langley, like wineries, cheese shop, nurseries, alpaca store and berry picking. Returning to the tourism board for two year terms are chair Teri James, directors Sylvia Jung, Jeff Leung, Karen Long, Melissa Banovich, Sara Boswell, Jason Froese and Taylor Henderson. Appointed to one year terms are Township councillor Petrina Arnason, City councillor Gayle Martin and Chamber’s Claude Choquette.
Free seminar focused on introduction to Oriental rugs Want to learn about purchasing Oriental rugs, the art of rug making, rug care or even room design? Then Ten Thousand Villages is the place to be. The Langley business is offering an Introduction to Oriental Rugs seminar on April 10 from 7 to 9 p.m. The seminar will be conducted by Yousaf Chaman, director of Bunyaad, and his wife Jenni Leister. The pair
will also be on hand at the store all day Apr. 11 to answer any questions. And beginning tomorrow (Apr. 3) for the next 13 days, more than 200 luxurious hand-knotted Bunyaad rugs will be in display and available for purchase at Ten Thousand Villages. From intricate florals to hand-spun natural dye wool tribals, every Bunyaad rug has been designed and
hand-knotted by highly skilled and fairly paid adults. Bunyaad works with over 850 families throughout 100 villages in Pakistan. Nearly 18-months of work can go into one, hand-knotted rug that are made with the highest quality materials. Gwen Repeta, the rug program co-ordinator for Ten Thousand Villages, has visited Pakistan and seen the

rug making process first hand. She has also met the people who have benefited from the fair trade process. “When artisans know they are paid for every knot they tie, they are empowered to focus on the fine details of intricate rugs that will last for generations,” she said. “These are heirlooms that will last a hundred years, rugs you can eat on and spill on and live with be-
cause they are so incredibly well made.” Refreshments will be served during the April 10 seminar. Those considering a rug purchase should come prepared with measurements of the room in which they want to place a rug and anything that will give an idea of the décor of the room. “Come with paint swatches or a throw pillow or a
photo of the room,” Repeta said. “And recognize that these are works of art – the light during different times of day or in a certain room will impact what a rug will look like.” To make a reservation or for more information about the Ten Thousand Villages Oriental Rug Event, please contact Ramsay at 604.534.3868 or visit www.

Duchesne also organized a league last year in Semiahmoo/ White Rock. The Langley league is also being operated in partnership with the Langley Minor Hockey Association. LMHA president Steve Pitt had first heard of the sport a few years ago, but he took added interest while attending the B.C. Hockey annual general meeting last year when he saw a BC Floorball booth.
“I had an opportunity to hear some of the benefits of floorball as it relates to ice hockey,” he said. He was approached in August by Semiahmoo Floorball, and LMHA agreed to post something on their website. “Floorball — as many other sports — can provide an alternative to spring/summer activities with the added benefit of increasing your hockey skills,” Pitt said. “Floorball truly involves ‘no-contact’, even stick-to-stick, so you learn to take away passing and shooting lanes and ball movement is essential.”
He added that because of the lack of contact, size, strength and gender are not as important, while the focus is on skill and speed. “As an association, we support all sports in B.C. and encourage participation in multiple sports to keep fit and have fun,” Pitt added. Hockey Canada has partnered with Floorball Canada to introduce the sport in elementary schools across the country. The Gretzky Hockey School is also using floorball as part of their camps, Duchesne said. The sport is also relatively

It may be new to Langley, but it is not new to the rest of the world. Floorball originated in Sweden in the 1970s and rapidly emerged through the Nordic regions. In 1986, the International Floorball Foundation was formed and the game is now played in more than 80 countries by millions of people. And now the sport will operate out of the Langley Curling Club, with a season that runs April until July. The curling club, which is located at the George Preston Recreation Centre, is now a dry-floor facility from April until the end of August. The sport is an excellent way for ice hockey players to work on some of their skills during the off-season. “Predominantly, floorball hockey challenges a house or rep player at an ice hockey level in an organized sport to hone their skills for passing, shooting, stick-handling and see the floor better and transition that over to ice hockey to make them a better skilled player,” said Rick Duchesne, the founder of the Langley Floorball League. The sport is a fast and exciting game that promotes end-to-end play with quick transitions and fluid game play. The rules stress the importance of safety and sportsmanship and are designed to limit the chance of injury without decreasing the speed or skill of the game. Like hockey, each team has six players, with one of them the goalie. But only the goalie wears equipment. Everyone else is outfitted in just a T-shirt, shorts, running shoes and carrying a lightweight fibre glass or carbon fibre sticks. The stick must remain below the waist and the ball cannot be played if it is above the knee. And no body contact, stick contact or stick-on-stick contact is permitted.

The association offers four age groups, ranging from five to 17 years old. Tyke is for those born in 2009 and 2010, atom is for birth years 2006, 2007 and 2008, peewee is 2003, 2004 and 2005, and bantam is birth years 1998 to 2002.

Sparta wins President’s Cup, league title G A RY A HUJ A Times S p or ts
Langley United Sparta earned a big measure of revenge. The men’s Division 2 soccer team captured the President’s Cup on Saturday night with a decisive 5-1 victory over Westcoast FC United at Port Moody’s Town Centre. “To win was pretty sweet, especially considering we lost to that team last year (in the Provincial Cup quarter-finals),” said Mark Peters, Sparta’s player/coach. Westcoast FC United was a Division 3A team, but earned promotion to Division 2 for next season after a dominant season which saw them go 19-0-1, scoring 99 goals and conceding just 13. “We managed to stifle their offence a bit and were able to counterattack,” Peters said. “And our finishing was good.” Three of Sparta’s goals came off either corner kicks or free kicks.

Sparta had defeated the Aldergrove United Red Devils 4-0 in their semifinal game. Both Langley United squads have qualified for the BC Soccer adult Provincial Cup playoffs which run throughout the month of April. The teams are competing for the Keith Millar Cup.

The game was played at Willoughby Community Park. Sparta finished the regular season with a record of 16-3-3, which actually tied them with another Langley United squad, Dynamo for top spot.

the game as they scored the only two goals of the opening half. Sparta then scored twice more to open the second half before Westcoast finally got on the board with about 20 minutes to go. And with their opponents a younger squad — they were playing at the U21 level just a few years ago — and Peters describing his team as “mature” — the coach said they knew Westcoast was capable of getting even closer. But it would be Sparta getting the final goal for the 5-1 score. Josh McCaig — who was named most valuable player — led the attack with two goals, while Todd Dutka, Paul Ballard and Adam Peters scoring one apiece. The Sparta roster is largely made up of players in their late 20s, with a few in their early 20s and some in their 30s. The core has been playing together for the past four years, beginning in Div. 4, then going to Div. 3 and the

Theodore up for top defenceman
Aldergrove’s Shea Theodore is up for the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy, the Western Hockey League’s top defenceman award. Theodore, who plays for the Seattle Thunderbirds, is the Western Conference nominee for the award. He is up against the Brandon Wheat Kings’ Ivan Provorov. Theodore, who turns 20 this summer, was also named a WHL Western Conference first team allstar. A 2013 first round draft pick of the Anaheim Ducks (26th overall), Theodore had 13 goals and 48 points in 45 games this past season for Seattle. He has already signed a three-year entry level contract with the Ducks and spent part of training camp with the NHL club before getting hurt and eventually being sent back to junior. Theodore also helped Team Canada win gold at the world junior hockey championships back in January. In 257 career games with Seattle, Theodore has 58 goals and 212 points. The major award winners will be announced on May 6.

Sue Kim seized the lead midway through the final round and never looked back. Kim, who is from Langley and golfed out of Redwoods, made a 25-foot birdie putt on the ninth hole to win Florida’s Natural Charity Classic at the Lake Wales Country Club. The 24-year-old, who now lives in Florida, finished the tournament at five-under par with a 211 to win the Symetra Professional Golf event over the weekend in Lake Wales, Fla. She pocketed $18,750 in prize money. “It feels great,� Kim said on the Tour website. “I’ve had some great finishes at the Florida’s Natural Charity Classic and it feels great to fi-
nally win it.� Kim beat out sisters Brittany and Brooke Henderson, who finished tied for second at two-under par. Kim was three shots off the lead heading into Sunday’s final round, and after making a bogey on the third hole, she carded four birdies over the next six holes to make the turn at five-under, one shot up on Brittany Henderson. “It was a great tournament for me from the first day forward,� Kim said. She was the lone golfer to shoot below par on all three days. This was her second win on the Symetra Tour. She spent 2014 on the LPGA Tour, but struggled, missing the cut in 11 of 19 events.
Schedule all set for Rams season
The Langley Rams quest for the Cullen Cup begins on the road in Nanaimo against arch rival Vancouver Island Raiders. The Rams will open the 2015 B.C. Football Conference regular season on July 25 at Caledonia Park. The Raiders have won seven of the past nine Cullen Cup championships, with the Rams interrupting that run in 2012 and 2014.

Stealth make swap for Schuss VANCOUVER, MINNESOTA TRADE LEFT-HANDERS IN NLL DEADLINE DAY DEAL The Vancouver Stealth have added the league’s reigning rookie of the year. The Stealth acquired Logan Schuss, with their prized off-season pick-up Johnny Powless heading to the Minnesota Swarm. The trade was announced on Tuesday just hours before the National Lacrosse League trade deadline. Schuss was the top overall pick in the 2013 NLL draft by
the Swarm, and he did not disappoint, scoring 36 goals and 73 points last season to win the 2014 rookie of the year. He also had 77 loose balls. In nine games this season, the Ladner native had 14 goals and 33 points, plus 44 loose balls. In a game at the Langley Events Centre on Feb. 28, Schuss lit up the Stealth for three goals and eight points in his team’s 21-15 loss. “We are ecstatic to bring Logan home to Vancouver,” said
‘Disappointing’ loss as Stealth fall to Colorado A promising start — a pair of power-play goals in the first 7:11 — was snuffed out by a rookie goaltender making his first career start, as the Vancouver Stealth dropped a third consecutive game. The Stealth were in Denver on Sunday night, where they fell 12-6 to the Colorado Mammoth in National Lacrosse League action at the Pepsi Center. Alex Buque, making his first career start, stopped 49 of the 55 shots he faced to help ground the Stealth attack. The win gave the Mammoth a sweep of the home-and-home series and Colorado (7-5) stretched their lead for second place in the West Division to 2.5 games over Vancouver (4-7). After the Mammoth took a five-minute major penalty in the opening minutes, Tyler Digby connected twice to give the visitors a 2-0 lead. But the offence dried up after that, as the Mammoth seized control, leading 3-2 after one quarter and 5-3 at the half. After Colorado pulled ahead 8-3 in the third quarter, Digby scored his third and Rhys Duch also tallied to make it 8-5 with 15 minutes to go. But the Mammoth scored four of the five goals in the final period. “Disappointing, disappointing loss,” Stealth coach Dan Perreault told NLL.com after the game. “Six goals on offence … we had a lot of shots, but a lot of ones that weren’t on net.” The six goals marks a season-low for the squad and they have just 24 goals during their threegame losing streak. In their last victory, Vancouver scored a season-high 21 goals. Against Colorado, Vancouver led in every statistical category — shots were 55-47, loose balls were 56-51 and face-offs were 14-8 — except the scoreboard. A big advantage for Colorado was their power play, which burned the Stealth with five goals in six man-advantage opportunities. Vancouver was three-for-six on power plays. “We know they have a very good power play,” Perreault said. “We took some undisciplined penalties and we paid for it. “We can’t have games where the offence is going well and the defence is struggling (or vice versa). We just have to find ways to get it together for 60 minutes offensively and defensively.” Corey Small and Joel McCready both had a goal and two assists for the Stealth while Duch had three helpers to go along with his goal. Colorado was led by John Grant Jr. (three goals, four assists), Eli McLaughlin (two goals, four assists), Jeremy Noble (two goals, three assists) and Drew Westervelt (one goal, four assists). Things don’t get any easier for the Stealth as they face the division-leading Edmonton Rush (74) in a home-and-home series this weekend.
games this season. “The decision to trade Johnny after such a short time in Vancouver was a difficult one,” Locker said. “We have immense respect for him both as a player and a person, but the reality was the travel demands were becoming increasingly difficult for him.” Schuss is expected in the line-up this weekend as the Stealth look to snap a threegame losing streak. The team is in Edmonton to face the Rush on Friday before the teams complete the home-and-home series on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

Stealth president and general manager Doug Locker. “The opportunity to add a player of his calibre brings an additional goal scorer to a lineup that we already like. “And the fact we can bring a prominent B.C. player home to represent his local team makes it all the more special.” Schuss said he was excited to be joining the Stealth and beginning a new lacrosse journey in his home province. Powless, who was picked up in a trade prior to the 2014 draft from the Rochester Knighthawks, had seven goals and 39 points in 11

Kelowna resident Rick Kelly thinks Tesla has missed the boat with its Model S design, so he’s created his own sporty coupe version of the electric car. Well, actually, the car-loving artist has created a digital version of what he calls a Model S 2+2-coupe concept. Kelly explained: “The only ‘sporty’ electric vehicle on the market right now is the BMW i8 – I’ve seen one here in Kelowna and it is spectacular, albeit out of most people’s price range ($145,000). Tesla has the performance in its electric Model S to be entertaining as a driver’s car. The Model S is one of the nicestlooking cars on the road, but it has FOUR doors – that precludes it from being ‘sporty’ in my book.” You can check out Kelly’s other creations at his website: http://automotiveart.shawwebspace.ca, his blog at http://digital-automotive-art.blogspot.ca and he even has a fun iBook called Digital Automotive Art on iTunes. Check it out. What do you think about Kelly’s digital re-creation of the $114,700 Tesla?

Sprinter is built for BC resource sector By Rob Rothwell British Columbia’s Monashee Mountains are renowned for their steep north faces and massive old-growth cedars. While its rugged terrain is largely inaccessible by road, logging activities have given rise to a network of steep, roughly cut access roads, which the spring thaw recently converted to deep quagmires of confidence-sucking mud, rock, and debris. What fool would attempt to drive a large commercial-style van up these routes of impending doom? Me for one. Mercedes-Benz invited me to explore the capabilities of their Sprinter vans available with four-wheel-drive, or in Mercedes-Benz parlance: 4ETS. In the world of commercial high-roof vans, the Sprinter is the only one in Canada fit with traction at all four corners. Known technically as 4-wheel Electronic Traction System, 4ETS is an option on V6 diesel-powered Sprinters, including the dual rear-wheel long wheelbase 3500 model. Expect to pay in the range of $6,000 for the feature, which can be paired with low-range gearing and downhill descent control for those seeking to maximize the Sprinter’s offroad fortitude. 4ETS is driver-activated as needed via a dash-mounted switch. When the grit of fourwheel-drive isn’t necessary, the setup enables optimal fuel-economy by returning the vehicle to rear-wheel-drive, thereby reducing fuel-robbing mechanical drag. While active, 4ETS splits torque 35/65 front-to-rear. This ratio doesn’t change though traction-control and stability-related programs remain active to improve grip and increase safety. These programs can be disabled should the driver require the ability to spin the wheels in an effort to unglue a stuck Sprinter.
Keeping one’s right boot deep into the Sprinter’s turbocharged throttle enabled its four wheels, clad in winter tires, to keep digging for traction while spitting out congealed mud and deleterious earthen material in an effort to supply forward propulsion. And it worked. We battled ruts so deep that the entire underside of the van banged and shuddered viciously as rocks and buried tree limbs from former logging operations did their best to impede progress. The ride-height of 4ETS-equipped Sprinters is increased by 75 mm (3-in) at the rear and 100 mm (4-in) at the front, which improves the vehicle’s approach and departure angles while also imparting a 24-inch wading depth. Interestingly, I didn’t find the additional ride-height detrimental to highway driving. The Sprinter felt exceptionally well anchored to the road and re2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4x4 ROB ROTHWELL markably secure on its winter rubber, even at highspeed on backroads of broken, patchy pavement. As the only game in town when it comes to fourwheel-drive commercial vans, Mercedes-Benz is keen to roll its high-traction Sprinter into industries such as mining, logging, construction, and any other work environment located off the beaten path – and that’s huge in a resource-based province like B.C. The long-chassis Sprinter 3500 with dual rear wheels could easily serve as a rolling workshop for trades’ people needing access to work camps where four-wheel-drive wherewithal is essential. Mercedes-Benz will also equip the passenger version of their Sprinter with 4ETS. Ski resorts and lodges, such as the Monashee Lodge, will undoubtedly appreciate the expanded capability. The recreational market is another niche ripe for off-road performance. 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter interior ROB ROTHWELL rgrothwell@telus.net

Ten Favourite Camaros ahead of ourselves). The new car was an even better performer. 4. 1979 Camaro Z/28 — The 1979 Z/28 looked fantastic with a new front spoiler and NACA duct hood. And while 175 hp doesn’t sound like a lot, the early 1970s change from SAE gross to net horsepower made it look worse than it was. The 1979 Z/28 remained a sharp handling and by-nomeans slow car. Values have roughly doubled in the last five years. THIRD GENERATION 5. 1982 Camaro Z/28 Indy Pace Car — The ’82 pace car wasn’t about performance as much as looks. Nice examples are rare, but when they do show up, they are bargains, trading for well under $13,000. 6. 1990 Camaro IROC- Z convertible — One of the biggest things to happen was the introduction of the first convertible since 1969 (courtesy of American Sunroof Corporation) just in time for the Camaro’s 20th anniversary. Fantastic examples still trade for under $20,000. FOURTH GENERATION 7. 1997 Camaro SS LT4 30th Anniversary SLP coupe — SLP Engineering (which stands for “Street Legal Performance”) followed the Yenko formula of 30 years earlier and grabbed one of the hottest Corvette engines (in this case the 1996 Grand Sport LT4). With wheel, tire and suspension upgrades to go with the
As we await the arrival of the sixth generation Chevy Camaro, let us look back at some favorite Camaros from each generation. FIRST GENERATION 1. 1967 Yenko Camaro — Don Yenko essentially ran a kick-ass speed shop out of his family’s decades-old Cannonsburg, Pa., Chevrolet dealership. Yenko replaced the car’s factory 396 V-8 with a Corvette L-72 427 that put out well over 400 gross horsepower. They went on to become among the most feared and (later) the most valuable muscle cars from the first golden age of automotive by Rob Sass performance. 2. 1968 Camaro Z/28 — If the bigblock Yenko Camaro was a straight-line drag strip specialist, the Z/28 was the first-gen Camaro that you wanted to take on a road course. Its small-block 302-ci engine was essentially a 327 block with the crankshaft from the old 283 V-8. It made for one of the most entertaining and rev-happy pushrod V-8s of all time. SECOND GENERATION 3. 1970 Camaro Z/28 — The all-new second generation Camaro bowed for the 1970 model year complete with a fastback design and some styling cues borrowed from one of the best, the Ferrari 250 Short-Wheelbase Berlinetta of 1964 (Camaro would appropriate the name “Berlinetta” too, but we’re getting

balanced and blueprinted 330-hp LT4, the car cost about $18,000 more than the next hottest SS Camaro of the same model year. Buy one today for 50 grand. 8. 2002 Camaro SS 35th Anniversary convertible — The F-body went out of production in 2002 (by then it was being produced only in GM’s Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, plant) but at least it went out with a bang—the 325-hp SS went like stink. FIFTH GENERATION 9. 2010 Transformers Special Edition Camaro —Brilliantly announced at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, fewer than 2,000 were produced exclusively in Rally Yellow with black stripes and Autobot badges that were strategically
placed. The Transformers edition is by far the best-recognized Camaro of all time and a sure-fire future collectible. 10. 2014 Camaro Z/28 — Like the original Z/28 that cleaned up on road courses in the SCCA Trans Am series, the new Z/28 has track star written all over it. With extra-careful attention paid to light weight and aerodynamics, the car is able to put to good use on the track its huge Brembo brakes, Pirelli P Zero tires on 19” wheels and 500-hp, 7-litre V8- (that’s 427 cubic inches to Chevy big block fans).
