Ten years for arson, assault on family ANDRE RICHARD COMMITTED ‘MOST SERIOUS OFFENSES IN CRIMINAL CODE’ – JUDGE MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

DAN FER GUS ON L an gley Tim es file ph ot o

Langley’s Andre Richard was sentenced to 10 years for an April, 2014 assault on his ex-wife and stepdaughter that culminated in the family’s Willowbrook home being set on fire. Richard’s son, who was seven at the time of the attack, was also inside the house.

For lighting his family home on fire with his wife and two children still inside, a provincial court judge sentenced Andre Richard to 10 years in federal prison on Wednesday. Richard, 45, showed little emotion, keeping his eyes on the judge, after being sentenced to 10 years for arson, minus 18 months for time already served. His ex-wife, stepdaughter and eight-year-old son sat in the front row listening to the judge hand out the jail term. Judge Peder Gulbransen said Richard “committed the most serious offenses in the Criminal Code.” “To call [Richard’s actions] callous is an understatement,” said Gulbransen. “His family not only have physical scars but emotional ones.” He went on to say he can’t imagine what emotional damage has been done after the two children, witnessed their mother covered in blood and suffering a seizure on the ground on a neighbour’s front step that fateful night, April 2, 2014. He sentenced Richard

ANDR E R ICHAR D to 10 years for setting his Willowbrook home on fire, knowing that his injured wife, stepdaughter and young son were still inside. He was also given six years for two counts of aggravated assault on his wife and stepdaughter. He was given four years for breaking into their home when he smashed the sliding glass door that night. But all sentences are to be served concurrently, so in total it amounts to 8.5 years. While in jail, Richard is banned from trying to have any contact with his family. Continued Page 7

Police investigating March 10 Bypass fire DRAMATIC VIDEO ILLUSTRATES MAGNITUDE OF BLAZE THAT DESTROYED FOUR BUSINESSES BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

A massive commercial fire that gutted four businesses along the Langley Bypass on the night of Tuesday, March 10 is under investigation by the RCMP. During his quarterly report to Langley City council on Monday night (April 13), fire chief Rory Thompson said the three-alarm blaze, which destroyed the south end of the Valley Motorsports building at 20579 Langley Bypass, has been turned over to police, noting that its cause has been deemed suspicious, but declining to elaborate. While showing a dramatic 6:44-minute

video, shot by Curtis Kreklau of South Fraser News Services, Thompson described the fire’s progress as it ripped through the commercial building, and explained how the presence of a fire wall, which bisected the structure, effectively saved its entire north end. On the video, several acetylene tanks can be heard exploding inside the burning building, while electrical boxes and wires on nearby power poles rain showers of sparks onto the pavement. The chief described the fire as “defensive,” meaning crews’ primary goal was to contain it to its point of origin.

Firefighters made no attempt to enter the building, he said, because by the time they arrived there was no chance that any lives or property could have been saved. Thompson told council that while it is not uncommon to find a residence fully engulfed in flames by the time fire crews are able get to it, during his more than 40 years on the job, he had never before seen a commercial building so involved by the time firefighters arrived. Asked by Councillor Paul Albrecht how much water was used to extinguish the blaze — a task which took several hours — Thompson couldn’t say for sure.

He replied that about 3,000 gallons were poured on the fire each minute and that the volume of water was more than the surface drains could handle. At one point, he said, water in the parking lot was 18 inches deep and flowing into adjacent buildings. In all, four engines, three ladder trucks, two rescue trucks and 55 firefighters from both the City and the Township responded to the fire. No one was killed or injured in the blaze, but estimates put the cost of the damage at about $6.1 million. To see the video, go to langleytimes.com.

Community garden step closer B REN D A AND E R SO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

A new community garden in the City of Langley has come one step closer to fruition with the selection of an organization to oversee its growth. Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) has volunteered to operate a 36-plot garden in Linwood Park on behalf of the City. But the challenge for the non-profit group will be ensuring that the gardens pay for themselves. After sending out a request for proposals to three non-profiits that currently operate or help to operate community gardens in the Township and Surrey, the City received a single response. In its proposal, LEPS estimated that the staffing costs associated with operating the garden site would be $4,200 per year. Charging gardeners a fee of $50 per plot, the 36 lots would generate $1,800 per year. Another $900 is anticipated to come from $25 key deposits, leaving the organization to find another $1,500 to cover its expenses in the first year. In its proposal LEPS said it expects to do that through grants, adding, “City support would be essential in order to see the gardens successfully co-ordinated until the creation of a community garden association.” However, at least one member of council

isn’t convinced that it is the City’s role to continue subsidizing community gardens, as it has done at Nicomekl Elementary for a number of years. That garden contains 14 plots, with a seasonal rental fee of $15 per plot, for a total income of $210. By contrast, it costs $3,000 per year to operate. The $2,790 balance is subsidized by the City through its parks fund. “I don’t think (LEPS) should apply to have a subsidy (for the Linwood garden),” said Councillor Gayle Martin. “If they’re going to do it, do it. “If they have to apply for a subsidy, they should reconsider.” The City could stipulate that LEPS not apply to the City for a grant to operate the garden, replied Kara Jefford, manager of engineering services. “I have no problem with them coming to council and applying for a grant, if need be,” said Councillor Val Van den Broek. Sarah Atherton, interim executive director at LEPS, said the organization actually has a number of options when it comes to seeking out grant money. She said Vancity credit union has a mandate to support community-based programs. She named Metro Vancouver and Otter Co-op as two other potential sources of funding. The goal of LEPS, said Atherton, is to oversee the establishment of the garden,

handle plot rentals and renewals and offer workshops. Ideally, the day-to-day management would eventually be handed over to volunteers, greatly reducing the cost of maintaining the garden, with LEPS staff continuing to offer oversight and stepping in only when necessary. Atherton said she expects work to begin on the Linwood Community Garden in late April, so that gardeners can have their fingers in the soil by mid-May. The community garden will be located in northwest corner of Linwood park, at the corner of 55A Avenue and 201 Street. Jefford said that as many as five plots may be raised to be accessible to disabled gardeners, depending on demand.

Bus loop a very busy place for police MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

In 2014, there were 706 calls for police service in the area around the bus loop, Glover Road and the alleys around Duncan Way. According to Langley RCMP City community liaison officer Cpl. Shannon Savinkoff, from 2010 until February of this year, the area has generated more than 1,100 files, with a high amount of property crime, violent crime and other disturbances. “The area is well known for drug dealing, homeless camps and social services,” said Savinkoff, who spoke at the most recent Crime Prevention Task Force meeting on Wednesday. Since Mayor Ted Schaffer set up this task force, TransLink has installed new lighting there and police are doing more patrols. Changes have happened in policing of the City too. A new sergeant has been hired and will work full-time out of the

CPO office at 204 Street and Douglas Crescent. Savinkoff is working with the task force, a mental health liaison officer has been hired and officers are planning to be more visible on the streets. Greg Perkins, who is helping the task force find ways to make the City a safer place reducing crime through environmental design, said those numbers near the bus loop are daunting. “That is equivalent to six officers just working that zone 24 hours a day. That is taking up a lot of police resources,” said Perkins, a former police officer from Ontario. He is tasking the group to research crime reduction strategies that have worked in other parts of the world, like Australia and the U.K. “We can find out best practices and which strategies can be applied here in Langley,” he said. Perkins pointed out that crime has a real cost to communities.

It’s estimated crime cost Canada $85 billion last year, he said. While the task force is looking at crime reduction, homelessness is a central topic. “Being homeless is not a crime,” said Savinkoff. “But it is a chronic situation that we need to manage. We can’t solve it, so we need to find the best ways to manage it.” In last year’s homeless count, there were 92 people counted as not having a home in Langley. That is much higher than many other communities. Savinkoff noted that many people who are homeless in the Township come into the City to use the services. Last month, City bylaw chief officer Raminder Uppal broke up an entrenched and sophisticated homeless camp in the woods in the City. He showed pictures of the camp, which had its own surveillance cameras and a operating fridge, powered by generators and propane.

It cost the City thousands of dollars to dismantle it, he said. The City has also spent a fair amount of money and time shutting down five rental houses on the east side of town which were being taken up by addicts and criminals. When it comes to panhandlers, police have no avenues to legally to do anything, unless they are being aggressive. “What is the point of ticketing them. We all know they have no money and don’t care if they get a ticket,” she said. She encouraged business owners to ask politely for panhandlers to leave. “If they refuse, you can call us,” she said. The City also did a sweep of businesses last week, making sure their business licenses matched the zoning for the area. It was mainly looking for stores that were selling drug paraphernalia.

School lockdown MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r

A suspicious call 22 minutes before dismissal forced a code yellow lockdown at James Hill Elementary on Wednesday. The reception desk received a suspicious call and RCMP were called in, said Langley School District’s Ken Hoff. A code yellow means the exterior doors are locked and there is no entry or exit. “RCMP and administration did a sweep of the school and nothing was found. Students were released to their parents,” said Hoff.

Drums and singing mark Fort Langley pipeline protest JAMES INGLIS Tim es con tributor

The sounds of traditional drums and songs of the Kwantlen, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh people welcomed an estimated 400 people who gathered on the grounds of the Fort Langley Community Hall taking part in the “This is our home march and rally” on Saturday in Fort Langley. The march and rally were held to show opposition to Kinder Morgan’s proposed bitumen pipeline expansion. It began with a march from the Kwantlen First Nation field, with protesters slowly walking down Glover Road to the community hall to listen to speakers at the rally. Speakers at the rally included Petrina Arnason, Ben West, Lynne Quarmby, Carleen Thomas, Rhiannon Bennett, Kevin Kelly, Brandon Gabriel, Byron Smith and Brent Euchler. Andhra Azevedo, chapter co-ordinator for the PIPE UP Network and a resident of Fort Langley, explained the march and rally is to protest “against the proposed Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion project. If built, the expanded pipeline will carry 890,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen through Fort Langley out to Burnaby. It was also to show solidarity with the “Act BRA N DON On Climate March” held GA BRIEL the next day in Quebec City. Canada’s premiers met in Quebec City on Tuesday to discuss climate change. According to Azevedo, the goal of the Fort Langley protest is “to make a clear statement that in Langley there is a large community that does not support the Trans Mountain expansion project and to make a strong statement that we do not want the Township of Langley to stay neutral on the project. By marching and raising our voices, we are communicating opposition to the project and concern about climate change. We also want to communicate information on the project to others who might be listening and are curious about what is going on.” Arnason, a Langley Township councillor, told

those at the rally that “as a society we can and must do more to ensure our collective future and to signal our local, regional and national governments that they must better represent our current and future interests by seriously analyzing all energy initiatives, including pipelines, with respect to their effect on global climate change.” Artist and educator Gabriel, one of the organizers of the march and rally, was born and raised on the Kwantlen First Nation Reserve in Fort Langley. He spoke of the important role the Kwantlen people played in the history and creation of the local area, British Columbia, and Canada and spoke of the injustices and unequal balance of power endured by indigenous people. Gabriel told the crowd the past is important to the issue of pipeline because, “the past never went away for us First Nations people. We live it every day.” Gabriel stressed “we do not come to you as adversaries. We come to you with rightfully placed anger and distrust and disgust, but with the intent of making things work better. We stand here together today because a new threat is upon us. We stand here together as one community to fight a common enemy.” Quarmby, an SFU professor and outspoken opponent of the Trans Mountain pipeline, spoke of her personal experiences in fighting for environmental causes and told the crowd that when governments don’t take action on the issues then “in a civil society the next step is to get out there and do civil disobedience. That’s the loudest that we can communicate.” She is running as a Green candidate in the next federal election. The rally’s final speaker, West, is the executive director of Tanker Free B.C., an organization opposed to Kinder Morgan’s plan to triple the amount of oil it ships through British Columbia and the increase in the number of tankers in Burrard Inlet the plan would create. He told the crowd “the leadership we’ve seen from First Nations in British Columbia in this fight against the oil companies has been beyond courageous. It has been heroic and amazing…and it is really important today that everyone of us who is here today follows the lead of the First Nations people who are so brave and so strong in this fight. We have a responsibility to show respect and to support land and treaty rights, always, not just when it’s helpful to our campaigns.”

Innocence ‘stolen’ in attack Gulbransen said the sentence should send a message that the courts denounce domestic violence. “We must send a message that vicious attacks against spouses and children will be punishable,” he said. He added that the court recognizes that society finds violence against spouses and children “repulsive.” In this case, Richard’s actions not only devastated a family emotionally, but financially as well. Richard’s ex-wife is still having to pay a mortgage for a home that no longer exists. After the sentence, Crown counsel Mike Fortino said the length of the sentence is “significant.” Crown had asked for 10 years. “The impact on the family is tremendous and ongoing,” said Fortino. “This is a very emotional day for them.” In December, he pleaded guilty to breaking into his family home, to two counts of aggravated assault against his wife and stepdaughter and to arson, knowing people were still inside. At one point, Richard was charged with attempted murder. Defense counsel asked that Richard serve five to six years. “A part of each of us died that night,” said his ex-wife, as she cried reading out her victim impact statement at his sentencing hearing last month. “You have stolen our children’s innocence. This will forever leave an imprint,” she said. She said her scars on her body are a constant reminder of what happened to her life. “I’m emotionally consumed by this. “My life is one medical appointment after another,” she said of the serious injuries he caused her. The arson destroyed their family home. This not only

She is not able to work because of the physical injuries he caused her. Richard had been married to his wife for nine years, but it was often violent. At one point, their children were taken away by the ministry of children and family development, because of the violence in the home caused by Richard. Police were called to the home on many occasions. In February of last year, he was arrested for assaulting his son. He was released on bail with a promise to not contact any of his family. He went to live with a co-worker. But his whole world was his family, the court learned. From the outside world, they seemed like a normal family. They went to church and Richard coached his son’s hockey team. The day prior to the attacks and arson, Richard was served divorce papers and provisions not to contact his family. Distraught, he sought out several people he knew from his church and from his son’s school that day to talk about these divorce papers, but was told to seek help and pray. The judge said his actions were out of rage, because he knew his marriage was over. “He didn’t act on impulse. It was a cool and calculated rage,” he said. Richard was arrested in Fernie the day after his wife and her two children managed to escape their burning house on Wakefield Drive in the Willoughby area. The three were asleep when Richard, wearing goggles, broke the sliding glass window to gain

Elections BC has approved two recall campaigns against MLAs — one a sitting BC Liberal who has won four elections, and the other a twice-elected BC Liberal who is sitting as an independent while awaiting a chance at a federal Conservative nomination. The overlap of the two campaigns and the pledge that more are to come is a misuse of recall legislation — but that doesn’t mean that it needs to be scrapped or changed. In both cases, the petitioners have 60 days to gather the signatures of 40 per cent of people who were on the voters’ list in each riding, at the time of the May, 2013 election. That is an enormous hurdle. As has been proven in past recall campaigns, it is almost impossible to get to that point. While petitioners may be able to get the signatures of enough people to reach the 40 per cent threshold, they almost invariably find that a significant number of those who signed are ineligible. They may have lived in the riding at the time of the last election and not been on the voters list, or what is often more likely, they did not live in the riding at that time. The recall legislation was brought in by the NDP government when Mike Harcourt was premier. It wasn’t its top priority, but the government was being pressured by intense citizen cynicism about politicians which had played a big role in the defeat of Social Credit and the NDP’s election in 1991, and in the rise of the Reform Party federally. The 40 per cent threshold was meant to be high, because while the ability to recall an MLA is important, it also needs to be difficult, in order to rule out simple partisanship. Reaching a 40 per cent threshold of voters who were on the list in the last election will likely only be achieved when an MLA has done something that is repugnant to a large number of constituents. BC Liberal MLA Paul Reitsma came close to being recalled for authoring phony letters to the editor, praising his ability as an MLA. He was in opposition at the time. Reitsma resigned before the campaign concluded. Successful recall campaigns must go beyond what an MLA’s party is doing, either as government or opposition. They need to have a strong personal element as well. In the case of Richard Lee of Burnaby North, he is being targeted for the policies and actions of the BC Liberal government. Marc Dalton of Maple Ridge-Mission is being targeted both for BC Liberal actions, but also for staying in office as an independent while seeking a federal Conservative nomination. That’s personal, but it is not something which will repulse most voters. These two recall campaigns and others targeting government MLAs are likely to fail, but the safety valve of being able to recall an MLA needs to remain. It is one of the few restraining devices available to voters between elections.

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Dealing with garbage they

The City of Maple Ridge is looking at putting garbage collection on its plate. While creating unionized staff positions and purchasing a fleet of vehicles to do so seems expensive and unappetizing, contracting out services to a private provider would be palatable. As it stands, four companies conduct such services for residential and commercial clients on private contracts. Households and businesses without agreements have the option of taking waste to the regional transfer station in Albion for $15. It’s not known where the waste of those without private collection contracts goes. Evidence of illegal dumping exists, but, according to the city, the problem is no worse now than several years ago, and is no more so than in any other Metro city. Some residents may beg to differ. Regardless, without a municipal system, there is little oversight in dealing with waste disposal. The current system in Maple Ridge is largely reliant on trust, a hope that individuals will be responsible. We know how trust works with our region’s transit fare collection method. Illegal dumping still happens, so some baby-sitting is required. And if the city can achieve a contract that is affordable and covers the entire city, we’re all better off for it. — Maple Ridge News

Toxic chemical spill ignored in Langley Editor: How come all levels of government sprang into action to remediate the toxic chemical spill in Vancouver, and continue to ignore the hazardous and toxic spill here in Langley? We are suffering from the poisonous effects. There was a huge ecstasy drug lab raid carried out on April 24, 2014 by Surrey RCMP, at 20668 72 Ave. No proper investigation had ever been carried out, in spite of numerous complaints, and the putrid irritating chemical stink persisted for years. Then came the drug raid. After a few days of civilities, the Township of Langley went to ground and would not answer questions. Environment Minister Mary Polak was advised on June 3, 2014. She ignored the problem and did not even reply. More documentation was sent to Polak on June 17, 2014. Again — no reply. We then realized she was a complete dead loss, even though she is our MLA and also the minister of environment. After much lobbying, eventually some tests were ordered by the Surrey office of the ministry of environment,

to be carried out on three properties in October and November. The results were horrific, so four officials came to inspect on Dec.11, 2014. They were aghast and did as much as they could. Then it went to the “next level.” Since that time, the remediation has been “looping” through the bureaucracy. The “Final Determination” letter was issued months ago. Evidently the deputy minister of the environment has to agree, then a submission has to be made to the Treasury Board. Nobody will pay for the remediation. Langley Township council were contacted on Oct. 3, 2014 regarding this matter.

On the Move plan good for truckers and the economy LO U I S E YAK O Pres i de nt & C E O, B C Tr u ck i n g Associa tion

When the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) released the BC on the Move 10-year transportation plan on March 18, the BC Trucking Association (BCTA) was glad to see not only plans for infrastructure improvements, but the more important message that B.C.’s economy depends on a safe, reliable and efficient transportation network. It’s only a short leap of logic from that statement to recognition that a strong and healthy BC economy relies heavily on a vibrant, thriving, efficient trucking industry. The trucking industry accounts for two per cent of B.C.’s GDP, employs about 40,000 people, and is larger than other major industries, including forestry, pulp and paper, and oil and gas. There is tacit acknowledgement of the importance of our industry to B.C.’s economy in the 10-year plan, which embeds a trucking strategy. As we face increasing globalization, the cornerstone of Canada’s economic wellbeing will continue to be an efficient and competitive transportation network. That’s why, following joint federal-provincial projects to widen Highway 1 in the Lower Mainland, construct the South Fraser Perimeter Road and replace the Port Mann Bridge, Transport Canada has undertaken an early review of federal transport-related acts and regulations with a view to ensur-

ing Canada’s transportation competitiveness for the next 40 years. The top four BC on the Move priorities involve road infrastructure. That’s because trucks not only deliver 90 per cent of consumer products and foodstuffs to communities across B.C., they are also the necessary link with other transportation modes, including cargo ships arriving at Port Metro Vancouver, railways, and air cargo terminals. And, in 2013, trucks transported 72 per cent of imports and 44 per cent of exports (by value) between the U.S. and Canada. So BC on the Move has it right. Road capacity and conditions are crucial, not only to the trucking industry, but to the rest of us who need the goods it delivers. Long-distance trucking will particularly benefit from plans to reduce congestion and improve highway reliability, such as six-laning Highway 97 through Kelowna and improvements to avalanche infrastructure on Highway 1. Anyone who’s had to find a place to stay in Revelstoke or Golden due to an avalanche-related highway closure will have noticed the number of heavy trucks held up and waiting. It is a necessary safety requirement to reduce avalanche risk, but it`s also a time-consuming and expensive inconvenience for trucking companies and their clients. In addition, growth in the resource sector, especially in Northeastern B.C., requires

B.C. treaty cash cow may dry up The B.C. Treaty Commission and its federal and provincial financiers put on a brave show last week, celebrating a â&#x20AC;&#x153;milestoneâ&#x20AC;? in negotiations for a modern treaty with five Vancouver Island First Nations. A regional group representing the Songhees, Beecher Bay, Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souke, Malahat and Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose) First Nations have reached the â&#x20AC;&#x153;agreement in principleâ&#x20AC;? stage of negotiations with Canada and B.C., after 20 years of treaty talks. This is similar to the treaty finalized in 2007 with another five-member Vancouver Island group called Maa-Nulth First Nations. The Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mexw Treaty Association agreed to accept 1,565 hectares of provincial Crown land and $142 million in federal cash to settle its historic aboriginal title. Alas, agreement in principle is but the fourth of sixth stages. Now a platoon of lawyers takes over from the roomful of negotiators to produce the final legal text. It will be years before this treaty can be presented to the B.C. legislature and the House of Commons in Ottawa, if it ever is. These elaborate ceremonies will never be viewed the same again after the release of federal treaBC ty advisor Doug Eyfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report last month. The Teâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mexw event seemed to have an extra urgenTom Fletcher cy after Eyfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s observation that much of this costly activity has become a job creation program for those involved. These Vancouver Island communities deserve credit for setting aside their own territorial disputes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than most have done. Eyford concluded after a long summer of meetings last year that many treaty negotiation teams in this province and across the country show no such inclination. In B.C. and elsewhere in Canada, there is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;conspicuous lack of urgency in negotiationsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;sharp divisionsâ&#x20AC;? between parties, most of which have been at the table for a decade or more, Eyford found. This is what has come to be known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;aboriginal industry,â&#x20AC;? where lawyers and consultants have a seemingly endless supply of lucrative work, much of it of questionable value. For some aboriginal participants, attending treaty meetings year after year is the best paying job they have ever had. Indeed, a common feature of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dealings with aboriginal communities is that their leaders demand meetings, and then demand to be paid to attend them. This latest Vancouver Island treaty, assuming it is ever finalized, would at least in part replace the Douglas Treaties, signed by B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colonial governor James Douglas in the 1850s. These treaties around Fort Victoria were quickly concluded if nothing else. The Beecher Bay Band was paid 45 pounds, 10 shillings for most of Sooke and another 43 pounds and change for its Metchosin territory. Eyfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings, and the B.C. governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sudden refusal to keep staffing a B.C. Treaty Commission that shows so little progress, have sent one overdue message. If participants arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepared to make real compromises and show a willingness to conclude agreements rather than drag them out, they should leave and come back when they are ready to do so.

Glenn Ryder to be remembered LANGLEY NATURALIST’S WORK IS UNSURPASSED A gathering of friends of renowned Langley naturalist Glenn Roderick Ryder will take place this Sunday. It comes as a special publication honouring his life and work as a naturalist has been published. Mr. Ryder, who lived in Aldergrove, passed away at the age of 75 in October, 2013. The gathering of friends will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. at Campbell Valley Regional Park, at the Rowlatt Farmstead, near the south end of 200 Street. All who knew him or are interested or familiar with his work are invited. Copies of the recently-published 177-page book An Old-School Naturalist: Glenn Roderick Ryder (1938-2013) will be available for sale. The publication is actually a special edition of Wildlife Afield, the biannual publication of the Biodiversity Centre for Wildlife Studies (http://www.wildlifebc. org/). Written by R. Wayne Campbell and Phillip S. Henderson, it gives a great deal of detail about Mr. Ryder’s life work and his devotion to the natural world. It gives much information about and context to the volumes of field notes that Mr. Ryder took over a 70-year period. His 44 feet of detailed and descriptive field notes are unparalleled in B.C. and quite possibly anywhere. He was

Campbell is the lead author of the outstanding four volume Birds of B.C. (1987-1991) and, most recently, one of the authors of the life of UBC zoologist Ian McTaggart-Cowan (Harbour Publishing 2015).

endeavours. Henderson also knew and accompanied him on many outings over the last 14 years of his life, but like many people in the biology and natural history world knew of him long before meeting him. The two worked on this project over the last year because they wanted to see his legacy live on and to see that he receives the recognition he deserves.

He was a remarkable individual and one of the greatest naturalists anywhere, they say. He explored much of Langley over the years and provided natural history information important in defining ecological value and preserving lands. He assisted with a report contributed to conserving the Gray Pit properties (Blaauw Forest) along with the efforts of others.

Civil forfeitures funding restorative justice intiatives in the Langleys The Fraser Region Community Justice Initiatives Association has received $40,000 toward the development of victim-sensitive protocols for the practice of restorative community justice. The project will develop a series of recommendations through province-wide consultation with the aim of increasing victim satisfaction with the criminal justice system. “The generous support of the provincial government will set in motion a process that will contribute directly to the experience of those impacted by crime,” said training and education co-ordinator Aaron Lyons. “The aim of this project is to move toward a set of agreed-upon guidelines that restorative justice providers in B.C. can

draw upon when working with crime victims and other participants. This will ultimately increase the consistency with which victims receive excellent quality service and support.” “More than the mere act of breaking the law, crime represents the violation of people and the disruption of communities,” said Langley MLA Mary Polak. “Restorative justice is a powerful tool to reduce harm. It’s very fitting to have the proceeds of crime repurposed in such a meaningful way.” Two other Langley organizations have also received civil forfeiture funding: Langley School District #35 has received $20,000 to address cyberbullying and self/peer exploitation, and

the Ishtar Transition Housing Society has received $6,200 for technology training to enhance women’s safety. This year, the priority focus for civil forfeiture grants is on initiatives that address violence against women, and support the Violence Free BC strategy. Other areas where funding was made available included serving victims through restorative justice, community and youth crime prevention, and police education, training and specialized crime prevention equipment. Since the civil forfeiture program became active, it has returned more than $16 million from successful forfeiture actions to crime prevention grants and victim compensation payments in B.C.

Last year, 173 B.C. workers died. Now, 173 families mourn. Let’s make our workplaces safer. Tuesday, April 28

Community Hall Societies Gathering and Book Launch In May 2014, the Township of Langley Heritage Advisory Committee hosted a Hall Societies Workshop for societies operating community halls in the Township. Those who attended discussed their concerns and shared information that would assist with the preparation of a sourcebook to guide future hall volunteers. A desire was expressed by those in attendance to come together again to discuss topics of common interest. The Community Halls Sourcebook is now complete. Its launch is being combined with a talk on insurance from Andrew Janzen, who will provide participants with an overview of things to know and respond to any questions. Those who are members of societies operating community halls in the Township are invited to attend this evening of information sharing, refreshments, and networking, and bring their fellow volunteers. Complimentary copies of the Community Halls Sourcebook will be available to those who attend the event.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

West Coast modern in vibrant South Surrey

reeze, an award winning townhome community by Adera Development, blurs the lines between the outdoors and indoors by reflecting West Coast living at its best. According to vice president of marketing and sales, Eric Andreasen, that means incorporating the convenience of a suburban lifestyle in the heart of what makes B.C. so beautiful: nature. The three-storey townhomes in the heart of South Surrey are suitable for professional couples, young families and downsizers alike. “It’s in a superb location, just a couple of minutes from Morgan Crossing Lifestyle Center, shopping galore, access to beaches, the border is a stone’s throw away, you can easily get downtown to watch a hockey game, and yet, the outdoors are all around you with plenty of nearby trails,” he says. For Breeze, it’s also about bringing that beauty and space indoors by having the kind of layout that suits a variety of lifestyles without feeling cramped or closed-in. “It’s all efficient, open spaces, that gives people a real sense of home,” says Andreasen. Two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes are built with lasting style in mind, using modern architecture that reflects elements of the great outdoors. That’s why Breeze is rooted in a philosophy that celebrates the use of natural materials, including cedar detailing and floor-to-ceiling glass walls that let the outside, in. When walking into a Breeze home, guests will notice clean designs with sustainability in

mind, like the motion activated light switches, while large, open kitchen spaces and dining islands made of granite/quartz are perfect for gathering friends and family. “The cool thing is that you can modify anything,” says Andreasen, speaking of the unique function that allows buyers to customize their space. “Our personalization program, i.D. By Me offers a long list of customizable options. You don’t just get color choice A or B, you get to pick from a general color variations, alterations and upgrades – it makes the cookie cutter disappear from personal space.” i.D. By Me gives homebuyers the chance to be their own interior designer and ensure that Breeze is more than just a home – it’s a creation. From upgraded appliances in the kitchen, heated floors in the bathroom, or built in organizers throughout the home, Adera’s personalization

Breeze is a showcase for West Coast modern inspired architecture: clean, extended lines and planes, elegant & simple forms, and contemporary style.

Large, open kitchen spaces and dining islands to gather with family and friends for at-home socializing.

program offers a variety of choices and changes that can be made to fit any lifestyle, personality or budget. The West Coast Club is a stand-alone amenity

that serves as a 3,700 sq. ft social space and wellness center. There is a wide range of exercise equipment, a yoga room, infrared sauna and change room with shower, as well as a large chef ’s kitchen and expansive outdoor covered patios for entertainment. “You can meet your friends at the West Coast Club to sit and chat, turn on the TV in lounge, enjoy the gigantic outdoor deck with

a fireplace, relax, cook and have a couple of drinks at sunset,” says Andreasen. Homes at Breeze start in the low $300’s with less than 8 homes remaining. “We just released the gems of the crowd: our display homes,” he says. “They are the crème de la crème because they are designed to look as good as they possibly can.” The Sales Centre is open daily from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at #11 – 16223 23A Avenue in South Surrey.

Over the past several months, Johan Guenther received plenty of compliments on his hair — mostly they came from women, who envied his soft silver curls, the Aldergrove man admitted with a laugh. Despite all the positive feedback, Guenther, 51, remained a bit self-conscious about the long, wavy locks which framed his face and grazed his shoulders — a far cry from the tidy, short-cropped style he’s used to sporting. “I find myself explaining to people that it’s not normally like this,” he said last week, before a scheduled rendezvous with a pair of hairdressing scissors. Guenther began growing his hair almost 18 months ago, after a conversation with a friend in the wig business, who told him how difficult it is to get donations of grey hair to make wigs for cancer patients. But long before that, the fuel tanker truck driver had been thinking about possible ways to help in the cancer fight. Over the past several years, a number of people in Guenther’s circle have died from some form of the disease — all of them in his general age bracket. “One of my best friends died at 51,” he said. When Guenther’s friend, Blair, passed away in 2008, the two men had been friends for more than 25 years. The loss hit Guenther hard. Following Blair’s death, the sister of a fellow rider in the the Lone Wolves motorcycle club passed away from cancer, as did the pack leader of the club’s Trail, B.C. chapter, said Guenther. And then, last month, Guenther’s 47-year-old co-worker succumbed to the disease. Like Guenther, the man drove a fuel tanker for a living.

“It’s become very personal to me,” he said. “This is a devastating epidemic.” At noon last Sunday, Guenther sat down in Murrayville stylist Joy-Marie Jalbert’s chair. Jalbert sectioned off his head, pulling the long hair into a number of small ponytails. From there, friends were invited to grab one and chop. Pulled straight, Guenther’s hair measured 10 inches in length. Wigmakers require eight inches to be able to work with the hair, he explained. Jalbert donated her time, and the salon, Inspired By You, opened its doors on a Sunday, specifically for the purpose, noted Guenther. He had originally planned to have it cut off in March, as soon as it was long enough to be useful, but a representative from the Canadian Cancer Society asked him to wait until April, to coincide with cancer awareness month. Guenther is happy to know that any wigs made with his hair will go to patients in the Lower Mainland. In addition to donating his hair, Guenther has started a fundraising page, with a goal of raising $5,000. Originally, he hoped to raise $2,500, but after someone challenged him to not just cut his hair, but to shave his head bald, he decided to raise the stakes. He told the friend, “If you want to see that, the amount is doubled.” Guenther’s fundraising page will be active until the end of April. If he meets his $5,000 goal, he has promised the honour of shaving his head to another member of the motorcycle club. “I’ve never done a fundraiser of any kind at all,” Guenther said. “My goal is just to make a difference.” For a link to Guenther’s fundraising page, find this story online at langleytimes.com.

satisfy the need for local small scale family farms … but it will also satisfy this tremendous demand for local honey,” he said. “And that demand is all over the world.” Gibeau estimates the profession can bring a family revenue about $100,000 a year until retirement. “There is absolutely no doubt there is a need for this program,” added Jim Pelton, KPU’s executive director of continuing and professional studies. “Our aim is to bolster B.C.’s beekeeping industry by providing the training that will allow our students to meet the province’s growing pollination demands.” “We are going to produce the entrepreneurs and managers we need,” Pelton said.

• Honeybees play a critical role in the production of many crops, representing a value of over $14 billion per year for Canada and the U.S. • Bee health is influenced by weather; pests and diseases; and the effects of management tools and practices across agricultural sectors. • About one-third of annual global food production is derived from crops which benefit from pollinators, much of which is accomplished by honeybees. • Some fruits do not develop without pollination from honeybees. Other fruits may develop but will be of poorer quality and in smaller amounts.

and since your smile is the first thing people see, it can be a big problem for some people. There are mainly 3 types of tooth discoloration that occur in the mouth. The first type is called extrinsic discoloration. This occurs on the outside of the tooth and is usually caused by food stains such as coffee, wine and colored foods and beverages. These types of discolorations can be prevented Dr. Athar Butt BSc, DDS Dentist with good home care by brushing, flossing and rinsing after meals. They can also be removed by your hygienist during your cleanings. The second type of tooth discoloration is known as intrinsic discoloration. This type occurs on the inside of your tooth and affects the inner layer. This can be caused by a number of reasons of which include too much fluoride as a child, tetracycline (antibiotic) staining, trauma to the tooth or hereditary conditions such as dentinogenesis imperfecta. These types of tooth discoloration are a little more difficult to eliminate. Some of these minor discolorations can be removed with bleaching products, whether with whitening kits or professional whitening at your dental clinic. However, deeper tooth discolorations might need more drastic treatment. This can be done through dental bonding, veneers or crowns, depending of the amount of discoloration and the condition of the teeth. The third type of tooth discoloration is age related discoloration. This is usually a combination of both extrinsic and intrinsic staining and therefore a combination of the above mentioned treatments may be needed. Your dentist can determine which type of discoloration you have and what the appropriate treatment should be.

HEARING

There was a buzz in the air on the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Langley campus last week, as Langley MP Mark Warawa was in town to announce that the federal government will provide $140,000 in funding through the Western Diversification Program. The money will be used to help establish a new commercial beekeeping program at the university. “Our government’s top priority is the economy,” Warawa said in making the announcement on April 10. “More jobs equal a stronger economy, which is the goal for us.” Honeybee pollination in B.C. is responsible for more than $200 million per year in agricultural production, with $65 million coming from the pollination-dependent blueberry industry. Based on three hives per acre, the province’s 20,000 acres of blueberry farms alone require 60,000 bee colonies for pollination. With only 45,000 commer-

cial bee colonies in B.C., these farms import colonies from Alberta to meet demand. The new KPU program begins in January and the first class is expected to have 16 students. But more than 90 potential applicants have requested more information on the program, said Dr. Salvador Ferreras, KPU’s provost and vice-president of academics. “Agriculture is very close to the heart of the Township and the neighbouring committees,” he said. “As agriculture grows, we need beekeeping.” The students will complete 350 hours of instruction as well as 300 mentored hours of beekeeping, plus a five-month paid practicum. Students in the KPU program will receive instruction in beehive care, bee disease management, bee botany, integrated pest management, livestock production and colony management, food safety, processing, packaging and marketing, and bee business planning, management and growth. The first batch of students will

Q: CAN MY MEDICINE CAUSE HEARING LOSS? A: There are many types of medications that have the potential to damage the ear which can cause hearing loss & ringing in the ear. These are known as ototoxic medicines that may be used to treat serious infections, heart disease & cancer. Kim Galick, RHIP/OWNER Ototoxic drugs are a common cause of hearing 21 years experience in loss, especially in older adults who may have Hearing Health Sciences to take ototoxic medications on a regular basis. Certain medications may cause damage to the cochlea in the inner ear and in some cases this is when hearing loss occurs. One of the first signs of ototoxicity may be ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Often, over time, hearing loss may also develop. You may not notice this hearing loss until your ability to understand words & speech is affected. When this occurs you may find yourself thinking “I can hear what you are saying but I am not understanding the words!” If you have been on medications for a long period of time please have your hearing evaluated. If you or someone you know is dealing with hearing loss please call Ears Hearing Langley TODAY at (604) 427-2828 to book your FREE Hearing Evaluation.

Gators’ Anderson an unlikely all-star WALNUT GROVE’S TYLER ANDERSON WAS READY TO QUIT BASKETBALL AFTER GRADE 8 BUT STUCK IT OUT TO BLOSSOM INTO AN ALL-STAR GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports

GARY AHUJA L an gley Tim es

Walnut Grove Gators’ Tyler Anderson works his way to the basket down low against the defence of Burnaby South Rebels’ Nicolas Trninic during last month’s B.C. senior boys 4A provincial basketball championships at the Langley Events Centre.

What’s On

Tyler Anderson didn’t think basketball was the game for him. He was a Grade 8 student when his PE teacher — and long-time Walnut Grove basketball coach — George Bergen approached him about giving hoops a try. Until that point, Anderson was a football and rugby player. But looking at a six-foot-one, 170-pound kid who is just entering high school, Bergen envisioned a dominant post player. “He had the body for football … a big body, powerful guy,” the coach said. “Tyler wanted to go into football and I did a little smooth talking.” “After Grade 8, he told me he was going all football,” Bergen said. “We had a couple of conversations and he decided to stay with hoops and quit football. A great decision.” Anderson said he relented and gave the sport a try that first year just to see how he liked it. “That was not my favourite year,” he admitted. “I found (basketball) challenging, but I stuck with it.” And that summer, he made Basketball B.C.’s U15 provincial B team. “And everything just took off from there,” Anderson said. Anderson, who turns 18 this summer, capped off his high school career last month by helping the Gators finish ninth at the B.C. senior boys 4A high school championships. The Gators, who were seeded 13th for the 16-team tournament, lost their opening round game before reeling off three consecutive victories. And Anderson was a big part of the success, finishing with 26.5 points per game (seventh in the tournament) and 11.8 re-

bounds (sixth).

Team Canada applicants were judged on their curling skills, along with their community leadership and academic experience, according to a press release from Curl BC. “The quality of applications we received through this process was simply amazing, and it bodes well for the future of our sport in Canada,” Curling Canada’s Greg Stremlaw said. “I know Tyler, Sterling, Mary and Karlee will wear the Maple Leaf proudly in Lillehammer, and we’re confident that they’ll be wonderful representatives, both on and off the ice.” Tardi is a two-time B.C. mixed doubles champion who competed at the 2013 and 2015 Canadian mixed doubles trials. The 2016 Youth Olympics are in Lillehammer Feb. 12 to 21.

Tyler Tardi is off to the Youth Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. He is one of two junior curlers from B.C. who have been picked for Team Canada at the 2016 games. Tardi, who plays out of the Langley Curling Club, and Sterling Middleton of Fort St. John won bronze at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George as part of Team B.C. “I’m at a loss for words,” Tardi said, reacting to the news. “It’s amazing. I’ve always wanted to wear the Maple leaf and that dream has now come true.” Middleton is looking forward to being on a team with Tardi, who skipped Team BC to that third-place finish. “I think we meshed well together this year, so it will be great to curl with him again.” The two 16-year-olds will be joined by Mary Fay and Karlee Bur-

Stealth tame Wolves, snap lengthy losing skid ROAD VICTORY GETS LACROSSE TEAM BACK IN WIN COLUMN Fifty-nine saves from rookie goaltender Eric Penney helped the Vancouver Stealth snap a lengthy-losing streak and get back into a playoff position. The Stealth fell behind 2-0 before reeling off a string of five straight goals to defeat the New England Black Wolves 11-9 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. on Sunday afternoon. The win came on the heels off a 14-7 loss to the Toronto Rock on Friday night at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. In that game, the Stealth squandered a 3-1 first quarter lead, surrendering 13 of the final 17 goals for their sixth straight defeat. “It was a big character win,” said Stealth defender Bradley Kri. “It really felt good to win, that’s for sure.” The road trip split gives Vancouver a 5-10 record, a half game ahead of the Calgary Roughnecks (5-11) for the final playoff

spot in the National Lacrosse League’s West Division. The two teams close out the regular season on May 2 at the Langley Events Centre. But before that, the Stealth host the Rochester Knighthawks (10-4) on Saturday at the LEC and visit the Buffalo Bandits (8-7) on April 25. Against Toronto, the NLL’s top team, Vancouver could not build on an early 3-1 lead as the Rock went on a 7-1 run from the late first quarter to halftime. Tyler Digby (two goals), Corey Small (one goal, two assists), Ilija Gajic (one goal, one assist) and Rhys Duch (three assists) led the Stealth attack. Vancouver had the decisive edge in the face-off circle, 16-9, but lost the loose ball battle 8266. The Rock’s Brett Hickey torched his former team with seven goals and 11 points. And the Stealth offence got balanced scoring to beat the Black Wolves, as all of their forwards found the scoresheet, led by Joel McCready’s hat trick and

one assist. Vancouver was up 3-2 after one quarter and 5-4 at the half. They pulled away in the third quarter with a 4-2 advantage and Penney stopped 19 of 22 shots in the fourth quarter as the Black Wolves tried to rally. Duch (two goals, four assists), Digby (one goal, four assists), Corey Small (two goals, two assists). Logan Schuss (one goal, two assists), Cliff Smith (one goal, one assist) and Justin Salt (one goal, one assist) all found the back of the net. And Mitch McMichael continued his dominance on face-offs, winning 18 of 24 draws. He is now third in the league, winning 192 of the 378 face-offs (50.8 per cent), among players who have taken at least 100 draws. The Stealth have a tough task in their next game, tomorrow night (Saturday) at the LEC at 7 p.m. as they welcome in the three-time defending champs, the Rochester Knighthawks (104). Rochester has won three straight —allowing a combined 14 goals in that span —as well as eight of their past nine games.

the base model. This combo is only available with front wheel drive (FWD). If the base engine is paired with the all wheel drive (AWD) system, then the buyer needs to choose the 6-speed automatic. The middle GS and top GT trim come with the more powerful 184hp 2.5L 4-cylinder. The GS can be equipped with FWD or AWD and all GT models come standard with AWD. What sets this apart from the competition is the handling and dynamic feel Mazda bakes into its products. The CX-5 can be thrown into corners with true confidence but the suspension is never jarring. The GS and GT also come standard with a sport setting for the transmission that is too aggressive for daily use. The base setting works the best and when more power is needed, I tended to flick the transmission to manual mode for a more precise experience.

Surrey resident Linda Webster is now the proud owner of a Nissan LEAF, as the winner of our Plug-In to Win contest. “I’m so excited because I’ve taken an interest in electric cars for some time but never dreamed I would own one,” said Linda, as she clutched the keys outside of Jonker Nissan, in Langley. “I’m going to really enjoy seeing how much I can get out of each charge… I’ll let you know!” With a range of in excess of 120 kilometres on a full charge, Linda figures she will be able to visit friends and family in Vancouver. British Columbia’s SCRAP-IT Program kindly supplied us with the eco-friendly sedan for the contest, which attracted a record-breaking 34,558 entries, the biggest Black Press contest ever. The five-seater car was displayed at the SCRAP-IT booth at the recent Vancouver International Auto Show, where it attracted thousands of admiring looks. SCRAP-IT announced its new S C RAP-IT incentive program in Driveway just before the show. It’s offering a $3,000 rebate for electric car purchasers if they scrap a year 2000 or older vehicle. This is in addition to the newly announced provincial government program. SCRAP-IT Program CEO Dennis Rogoza revealed: “Vehicles model 2000 or older emit up to 60 times more emissions than later models and electric vehicles have even much lower emissions.” Qualifying electric vehicles are listed on the SCRAP-IT.ca website. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Verdict It might not be the least expensive vehicle in this hot compact crossover segment but due to a conventional 6-speed automatic and class above amenities, it’s certainly in the running as a segment leader.

ing through the In-n-Out Burger drive-thru for a pre road trip delicacy. Though there were only three people in the cabin of the Journey at any given time, there is room for up to seven people. Furthermore, the third and second row fold down easily to load or unload larger ticket items, such as a road bike I had rented while in the Palm Springs area. When it comes to cargo space, behind the second row seats, you have a generous 1,000L, and behind the third row – when they are up – there’s 300L. Ingress and egress is also a strong feature of the Journey. Despite its SUV DNA, the seats aren’t so high off the ground that it requires passengers, both young and young at heart, to hoist themselves up and in.

And I can’t forget to mention just how great it is to work with the Uconnect infotainment system. Entering in a destination into the navigation is probably the most intuitive and user-friendly in the industry. The 8.4-inch screen is large and therefore doesn’t require me to take my eyes off the road for longer than necessary. Music through the speakers – via the SiriusXM stations or my playlists – kept me grooving even in rush hour traffic. With the countless kilometres logged on this Dodge, it wasn’t too hard to find much joy in this new Journey. In fact, it was quite a treat. The base MSRP of the 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad AWD is $35,395. Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Evolution of car share revolution by Bob McHugh

The BC Automobile Association (BCAA) recently launched a new car share service with an interesting up-tempo public promotional bash outside the Art Gallery in downtown Vancouver. A 250-strong fleet of Toyota Prius C hybrid vehicles will be available to users of this new service, called Evo, and some of them were on display. “What we are creating here is the evolution of BCAA – the auto club where you don’t even need to own a car!” said Shan Parmar, Director of Evo Car Share.

BCAA believes car sharing is of growing importance for modern city dwellers and is a sustainable mobility option. It’s also a way to improve the on-going issue of traffic congestion. A single car share vehicle can remove up to 12 private vehicles off the road, according to a recent Metro Vancouver study report. Over the past 20 years, the car sharing service business has grown rapidly and it’s now available in over 600 cities around the world. Major auto makers, like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, are also involved in providing this type of service. In Vancouver, Evo joins Zip, Modo and Car2go for a share of the car share pie. “We believe Vancouverites are looking

for a more flexible car share option that allows them to get outdoors and enjoy everything that BC has to offer,” ex-

plained Parmar. “Evo is the only one-way car share service that has vehicles with four doors, room for five passengers, bike racks,

ski racks and space for cargo. It’s the only car share service designed to fit a BC lifestyle.” BCAA is the first auto

club to provide a car share service, according to Parmar. Initially the Evo service territory, where vehicles can be picked up and must be returned, is a 50 sq km area within Vancouver city. An Evo vehicle can be driven anywhere and then returned anywhere within the Evo service territory. “We have designated (free) Evo parking spaces throughout the city,” added Parmar. “In addition to that we have permits from the city of Vancouver that allow an Evo vehicle to park in any permit-only or resident-only zones, within the city.” Parking fees, gasoline, auto insurance and vehicle maintenance are all included with an Evo vehicle. A user of the service only pays for the time that they are logged into the vehicle and it starts on a per-minute fee base of 41 cents. The hourly usage fee rate is $14.99 and it’s $89.99 per day. BCAA members do receive some perks by enrolling in Evo. The ($35.00) registration fee is waived and they also receive a ten per cent usage credit. The highly fuel-efficient Toyota Prius C is a four-door hatchback that offers seating for five passengers

and the Evo vehicles all come equipped with bike/ski racks. An Evo client can locate available Evo vehicles with a downloadable mobile smartphone app or by using the Evo web site. An Evo client can also unlock the vehicle with the Evo app, or their Evo membership card, when they arrive at the Evo (Prius C) vehicle. The Prius C has a keyless ignition system and the key fob is in the vehicle. If they want to park the vehicle, but not end a session, they lock the vehicle with the key fob and keep it with them. The Evo user meter will, however, continue to run until you return the key fob to the vehicle and log off the session. “We’re seeing usage from a wide variety of users,” said Parmar. “Young people who don’t own a car. Couples or people with young families, who may own a car, yet sometimes need a second car. People who use the service simply for the convenience, they don’t want the hassle of finding or paying for downtown parking.” To learn more about how BCAA’s Evo car share service works, visit evo.ca. bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca
