Air 1 RCMP Tactical Flight officer Cpl. Curtis Brassington sits inside the cockpit of the aircraft which is based out of Langley airport. The aircraft is one of two helicopters used by police in the Lower Mainland to help track vehicles — often avoiding dangerous ground chases in the process — and search for missing persons, among other functions. One of the most notable air pursuits in recent memory involved a stolen pickup truck, in which the driver raced throughout the Lower Mainland, reaching speeds of 150 km/h, before being boxed in on the Golden Ears Bridge.

Circling over Surrey on a clear afternoon in February of last year, RCMP Tactical Flight Officer Cpl. Curtis Brassington and his civilian pilot received a call about a stolen pickup truck spotted in Pitt Meadows. An officer had turned on his lights in an attempt to pull over the red full-sized truck, but the driver sped off at a high rate of speed.

Following protocol, the officer pulled to the side of the road — having to watch as the truck headed westbound on Lougheed Highway. He was adhering to a no-pursuit policy put in place to help prevent highspeed collisions involving innocent drivers and pedestrians. That’s when Brassington and Air 1, one of two RCMP helicopters monitoring the skies over the Lower Mainland, picked up the pursuit.

Within minutes, Air 1 spotted the truck in Coquitlam, barreling 140 km/h down the shoulder of the highway in heavy traffic. When the suspect saw RCMP cruisers in the area, he slammed on his brakes and began speeding in reverse against traffic. However, police were able to lay a down a spike belt that blew out a rear tire. For the next hour-and-a-half, the driver of the stolen truck raced throughout the Lower Mainland, from Maple Ridge to Surrey, Cloverdale and Langley, travelling at speeds upwards of 150 km/h on Highway 1 with Brassington and Air 1 watching from

300 metres (1,000 feet) in the air. When the suspect eventually ended up on the Golden Ears Bridge — facing oncoming traffic and the vehicle’s engine failing — RCMP members were able to box the truck in. However, before it came to a complete stop, the driver jumped from the truck, climbed the fence on the bridge and tried to jump into the river. Officers grabbed one of his legs before he went over the edge and he was taken into custody. Continued Page 3

District superintendent recruited by province Suzanne Hoffman seconded to Ministry of Education to help implement curriculum changes MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

SUZ A NNE H OFF M A N

Langley Superintendent of Schools Suzanne Hoffman has accepted a position with the B.C. Min-

istry of Education. The popular district leader will join a team of field-based educators, dedicated to working with school districts around the province on the three-year implementation of the new B.C. curriculum. Hoffman’s secondment is for a two-year period, commencing May 1. She will be in transition through May and June, while completing current projects in the district, including consultation about the proposed catchment changes on the Willoughby slope. Effective May 1, assistant super-

intendent Gord Stewart, who has 27 years of experience in the district, will be appointed acting superintendent of schools. A search to select his replacement as assistant superintendent will commence soon. “The board is very grateful for the significant leadership Suzanne has provided to the district over the past four years,” said Board of Education chair Robert McFarlane. “Her dedication and her collaborative, inclusive and caring style have created a true sense of ‘community’ in our district and we

thank her for that and wish her all the best in her secondment.” Hoffman took on the position of superintendent as the school district was paying off a large deficit that had been caused by human error. It was also a time when the public’s trust in the district leadership was not strong, amid controversial changes to H.D. Stafford from a high school to a middle school as well as some school closures. Hoffman focused on full transparency and public consultation in all changes within the district.

Police patrols above Metro Vancouver began in 2006 From Page 1

During this ordeal, the driver left 17 smashed vehicles in his wake. A few months later, the career criminal pleaded guilty to numerous charges and is now in prison. “It was a miracle he didn’t kill anyone along the way,” said Brassington. “But at least from the air we were able to watch where he was going. Members were at some points able to block intersections because he didn’t stop a single time at any stop sign or red light.” Without the ability to follow the suspect from the air and keep that continuity, Brassington said, the driver may have been able to get away and then the costs of finding him and bringing him to justice would have skyrocketed. Police helicopters patrolling the skies around major metropolitan areas are not new tools in the crime-fighting kit. In fact, many large cities in the U.S. have a dozen or more choppers in the air. But it wasn’t until 2006 when ICBC funded the purchase of the first police helicopter for Metro Vancouver, with a jurisdiction stretching from Whistler to Hope. A second helicopter was added shortly after. Operational costs of $5 million annually are divided between the RCMP, ICBC and the provincial government. Equipped with a pair of cameras

mounted on the underside of the helicopter for high-definition video and infrared heat detection, along with helmet-mounted night vision goggles that can amplify light up to 40,000 times, the airborne officers are able to respond to calls that run the gamut — from missing hikers, to surveillance, to traffic patrol, to marine emergencies — 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Recently an older gentleman from a First Nations community in the eastern Fraser Valley had gone out fishing alone in a small aluminum skiff, but by nightfall had not returned. Following a search by local residents and search-and-rescue volunteers, his overturned boat was found floating in the river. Air 1 was dispatched to the area and using the infrared camera, was able to detect a heat source in the dark near the edge of the river. It turned out to be the fisherman and although he was hypothermic, he made a full recovery. Often just the light from a cellphone in the dark or the reflection of light from a bright object such as a belt buckle can be the difference between people being spotted or not. “We will tell people, ‘if you are lost at night and you hear the helicopter, turn on your flashlight or phone and point it at the helicopter’,” said Brassington. “Once we see that flash of light we can point our camera in that area and say ‘yes, that’s a person.’”

Langley City Community Crime Prevention Task Force files report DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

A wide-ranging set of recommendations from the Langley City Community Crime Prevention Task Force could, among other things, lead to municipal bylaws that require grocery stores to keep shopping carts from leaving their property, putting up “no panhandling” signs at major intersections and increased RCMP foot and bike patrols. Those are among several suggested measures to prevent and reduce crime in the community contained in the 35-page final report of the task force received at Monday’s council meeting. “A lot of time, a lot of effort went into this,” Langley City mayor Ted Schaffer said. Schaffer chaired the group of community members and representatives of business groups and law enforcement agencies who looked for success stories from other communities in Canada, the U.S. the United Kingdom, Australia and New

Zealand to develop specific measures to fight crime. Among the many other potential “goals and measurable outcomes” mentioned in the report are suggested municipal bylaws to regulate methadone dispensaries and possibly creating community action teams to fight vandalism. “We believe that the measurable outcomes identified by the task force provide a well-balanced plan to combat and deter crime in the community,” Schaffer said. Many of the proposals are within the power of the City, but some will require approval and funding from other levels of government, such as the suggested no-panhandling signs at intersections under provincial control, and funding for an “Assertive Community Treatment” team to work with adults who have “serious and persistent mental illness and significant functional impairments who have not connected with, or responded well to traditional outpatient mental health and rehabilitation services.” The report now goes to the municipal Public Safety Advisory Committee, which will review the task force suggestions and come up with a list of the top “measurable outcomes” for council to approve.

Schaffer said with the report, the task force completed its mandate and has been disbanded. “I want to thank each member of the task force for their effort and involvement with the development of the Community Crime Prevention Strategic Plan” Schaffer said. The report referred to RCMP statistics that show a “downward trend on most offences” in the City, with a few exceptions, including a “significant increase in auto theft and theft from auto offences” considered to be a problem throughout Metro Vancouver, not just Langley. While the police stats show an increase in sexual offences in the City, most of those cases “are related to individuals known to each other” the report states. There has been a drop in assaults, robberies, home invasions, and break-ins at homes and businesses. The report also notes Langley City has already implemented a number of crime reduction measures over the years, such as adding more police resources, requiring owners to remove graffiti within 10 days and regulating the sale of “hydroponics equipment and drug paraphernalia.”

A Trinity Western University student was discriminated against and harassed because of her Christian faith by a Norwegian-based wilderness guiding company operating in Vancouver, the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has ruled. The company, Amaruk Wilderness, has been ordered to pay TWU grad Bethany Paquette $8,500 for “injury to dignity and self-respect” plus $661.08 in expenses. The 27-page written decision by tribunal member Norman Trerise, released earlier this month, included the series of emails that resulted when Paquette applied for a job with Amaruk, which was advertising “assistant guide internships with one of the bases of operations being Vancouver.” She emailed her application on Sept. 10, 2014. The next day, Olaf Amundsen responded by saying Paquette didn’t meet the minimum requirements for training and experience listed in the job posting, something the TWU grad does not dispute. But Amundsen then went on to talk about Trinity Western University in Langley, which requires students and staff to sign a “community covenant” that forbids sex outside a traditional heterosexual marriage. “ … unlike Trinity Western University, we embrace diversity, and the right of people to sleep with or marry whoever they want, and this is reflected within some of our staff and management,” the Amundsen email said. “In addition, the Norse background of most of the guys at the management level means that we are not a Christian organization, and most of us actually see Christianity as having destroyed our culture, tradition, and way of life.” Paquette fired back with an email that opened by saying, “where I attended university and my religious belief should have nothing to do with whether or not I meet your company requirements.” She challenged Amundsen’s version of Norse history, saying the Viking kings “decided to move towards Christianity” and wrapped up her message by writing “God Bless, Bethany Paquette, proud Christian and graduate of Trinity Western University.” The Norwegian company responded with three emails from three different people.

A Trinity Western University grad has been awarded $8,500 for ‘injury to dignity and self-respect’ after a Norwegian wilderness guiding company to which she’d applied was found to have harassed and discriminated against her because of her Christian faith. Amundsen, the original writer, complained that “‘God Bless’ is very offensive to me, and yet another sign of your attempts to impose your religious views on me,” and closed by making an obscene comment about what he would do if he “was to meet the guy.” Then, Amaruk co-CEO Christopher Fragassi-Bjornsen weighed in by saying “we believe that a man ending up with another man is probably the best thing that could happen to him. “But we do not force these views onto other people, and we are completely fine if a guy decides to go the emasculation route by marrying a B.C. woman.” The third email came from Arkyn Borg, identified as the vice president, Human Resources and Lead Guide/Instructor, Norway for Amaruk, who said the TWU covenant violated the Canadian charter of rights. “As discrimination is not ac-

ceptable within Canadian society, and under Canadian law, it is equally unacceptable in the Kingdom of Norway, and as a result, within our company,” the Borg message said. When the tribunal heard the case in November, Fragassi-Bjornsen and the Amaruk lawyer walked out after the tribunal refused to hold the Vancouver proceedings in French, to allow a European lawyer, to call witnesses “respecting the sexual history of the complainant (Paquette)” and to beef up security for the hearing. As he left, Fragassi-Bjornsen announced neither he nor the company would pay any fine. In describing the discrimination as “egregious” the tribunal judgment said the comments in the emails made the then23-year-old woman “ashamed about who she is and dissuaded her from being forthcoming about her religious beliefs. For a person such as Ms. Paquette, that is a profound effect.”

Busy first week at new Timms Community centre Hundreds visit new Langley City recreation facility to sign up for membership DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

The new Timms centre in Langley City had a very busy first week, according to figures released Monday (March 8). From opening day on Feb. 24 to March 2, the staff at the new facility recorded over 2,500 visits. Those numbers don’t include the thousands who attended the open house on the first day. During the first week, 44 people bought annual passes. The passes are good for 13 months and allow users to put their membership on hold for two months. • • • •

So far, 1,800 people have signed up for free seven-day passes to use the facility. On Monday, Langley City mayor Ted Schaffer said a few finishing touches remain, but the Timms project is “pretty much on time, knock wood, and pretty much on budget.” Some of the still-to-be-completed items include resurfacing the exterior of the older city hall and library complex next door and activating new traffic lights on Douglas Crescent to allow people to turn into the new underground parkade entrance. The 35,000 square-foot

Timms facility cost $14.3 million and took 16 months to build. It includes a full gymnasium with an upper level 100-metre indoor walking/running track, a weight/cardio room, showers and changing rooms, a spin room and two fitness studios with sprung floors. The new building also houses all-purpose rooms for meetings (one of which is equipped to serve as an emergency operations centre) a games room, community kitchen, and outdoor patio space, which includes a rubberized mat for fresh-air fitness classes.

School fix-up fund up to $40M B.C. school districts have until April 15 to apply for an annual “fix-it fund” that has grown from $35 million to $40 million. The fund is in addition to the ongoing capital funds for school districts, and is targeted to projects costing $100,000 or more. They include heating and ventilation upgrades,

roof repairs or replacement, plumbing and boiler replacements and safety improvements. Education Minister Mike Bernier said projects will be chosen based on “need, priority and supporting student learning.” They also need to be completed by March 31, 2017.

Mark Warawa calls for 24/7 border crossing in Aldergrove

Former Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Steven Blaney (left) and MP Mark Warawa (right) unveiled plans for a $17.7 million reconstruction of the Aldergrove port of entry in April 2014. Now Warawa, an opposition MP, is urging the current minister, Ralph Goodale, to expand the hours of the now completed crossing to allow vehicles to pass through around the clock.

Crossing important for jobs and economic growth in Langley, MP says D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

It’s time to operate the recently-upgraded Aldergrove border crossing around the clock, Langley-Aldergrove Conservative MP Mark Warawa says. Warawa has written Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale, to argue for changing the hours of operation from 8 a.m. to midnight to 24/7. “Our community’s need for effective cross-border traffic flow is expanding at a rate matching our fast-paced growth, and an expansion of border services

makes good business sense,” Warawa says. When the Conservatives were in power, Warawa — supported by the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce — pushed for improvements to the Aldergrove border that led to a $17.7 million overhaul, including two new commercial lanes, five new traveller lanes (one of them a dedicated NEXUS lane) along with a larger traveller processing facility and commercial examination warehouse. “The upgrades to the Aldergrove border are one of the most important projects that

I’ve worked on in my past 12 years as a Member of Parliament,” Warawa said. “The Aldergrove border crossing is very important for jobs and economic growth in Langley and will help Langley to reach its economic potential.” With its recent expansion Aldergrove has the potential to be a major port of entry, Warawa told the Chamber during its March meeting, held on Tuesday evening. He said the crossing has both the capacity and the volume of traffic needed to support 24/7 opening.

OPINION

Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com

Nordic non sequitur Over the years, most of the public debate over the Trinity Western University covenant against ‘sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman’ has been relatively reasonable. There are articulate, intelligent people on both sides, opponents who argue the clause violates the Charter of Rights protection against discrimination because of sexual orientation and supporters who argue the campaign against the covenant violates freedom of religion. There was, however, nothing remotely reasonable about the reaction a 23-year-old TWU student received when she applied for a summer job with a Norwegian-based wilderness guiding company in 2014. She was, by her own admission, a little under-qualified, but had related experience and planned to upgrade her training. The emailed response spent a lot more time ranting about TWU and the covenant than it did about her qualifications, and went off on a tangent about the “Norse culture” at the company and how Christianity “destroyed our culture, tradition, and way of life.” When the young woman took issue, there were several more emails with comments that ran the gamut from juvenile to obscene and won the company a trip to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal. This month, the 27-page written decision finding the “Norse culture” defenders guilty of discrimination and harassment shows they responded with a blizzard of complaints and procedural maneuvers that ran from the silly (insisting everything should be done in French) to the strange (claiming the lawyer for the student was trying to incite “hatred against a minority” — presumably Vikings) to the crass (demanding to call witnesses about the “sexual history” of the student) and pathetic (insisting the tribunal provide additional security, presumably to prevent anti-Viking violence). When they didn’t get their way, they walked out.

Pattison Centre and the recovery nurse, the anesthesiologist and the surgeon all take time to see me and reassure me that everything is going to be OK. Each one asks me how I’m doing and I lie and say fine. If the IV was a Horton’s double double, I’d feel much better. As I listen to the pre-op conversations around me I realize there are at least three others in there for the same procedure. So, this is not all just about me. This place is a regular rhinoplasty drive-through. Three hours later I am sitting up, getting more instructions and I’m home by 1:30. No pain to speak of, no swelling or black eyes nothing choking me, I’m not covered in blood, it’s all a bit anticlimactic. The packing is uncomfortable and sleeping sitting up does not work, but I discover Kojak and McCloud are on TV at 3 a.m. When the packing comes out there is a rush of cold air up my nose, almost causing a brain freeze and I’m wondering why I waited so long to have this done. Don’t hide from your fears in the dark. Walk out into the sunlight and face them head on. At least that’s what McGregor says.

Drug issues are widespread in both Langleys Editor: Langley has become drug central. Eleven years ago, I moved my family out of our Langley City home due to the large number of street addicts, thieves and problems related to the huge drug activities and homelessness that plague the City. We loved our home and its convenience to shops and bus routes for my children, but we were tired of it. The problems that come with these social issues were parked on our doorstep every day. I thought by moving to the top of Willoughby Hill, with all its new development,

208 traffic lights need adjusting

the City problems would be left behind and, indeed, for 10 years we lived without any of the headaches that made us move in the first place. Now it seems, Willoughby Hill has become the “new” Langley City and it, too, is plagued with drug-related issues. The difference now is the drug dealers drive SUVs, live in $700,000-plus homes or the basement suites of these homes and peddle their wares on our streets and in our parks. A half-a year ago, new neighbours moved

in near to us. These are people that hold down full-time jobs, but engage in low-level drug crime, and my quiet neighbourhood has become a gong show, with people coming and going at all times, and the endless smell of marijuana wafting through our yard. I guess this is the new normal, when your SUV-driving neighbours are the druggies, and although they might not be riding around on bicycles, they are just as dangerous and serious about their side business.

These are people without any scruples and have every intention of keeping their side-job, operating out of their home. The police aren’t too interested in our complaints and even Langley Township bylaws said, “Well, I guess you’ll have to move.” Yes, it looks like I will have to sell and move and the search is now on to find another quiet, up-and-coming neighbourhood that isn’t riddled with these problems — yet. SANDRA STEFFAN, WILLOUGHBY HILL

No place in Canadian law for assisted suicide

Editor: Adding to Bernie Struchtrup’s concerns re: lack of infrastructure, in particular the mess that 208 Street is in (The Times, March 9) why on Earth are the traffic light timings on 208 Street weighted grossly in favour of “rush hour traffic flow” 24/7 instead of during rush hour only? We residents of those areas adjacent to 208 Street are tired and frustrated by the long wait times getting onto 208th when there is little or no traffic on the street. Please change the timing to reflect normal rush hours and not weekends and off hours. JEFF LAURIE, LANGLEY

Editor: What kind of depths has Canada’s health and welfare sunk to? Proposed doctor-assisted suicide has no place in the laws of our country. If life is so intolerable that one needs to end it, why put the responsibility for the act onto your doctor to perform it? Euthanasia presents untold potential for misuse and abuse in our society; for children, the elderly and others who are vulnerable. Canada needs increased access to high-quality palliative care and hospice care. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s “sunny days” don’t look so sunny now. I remember the bright song L’Chaim (To Life) in Fiddler on the Roof. I guess we’ll have to change the lyrics. DEANNA CAZES, LANGLEY

Editor: The Supreme Court of Canada has erred in judgment: it is not a constitutional right to meddle with the day of one’s death. The sanctity of life is in the hands of a faithful Creator and is meant to be respectfully left there. The Canadian Parliament cannot rightly execute this unjust and unscriptural decree as mandated. It is folly to amend (it will only weaken) the Criminal Code of Canada to impose an immoral obligation on a respected profession (medical doctors and/or nurses) whose very creed and purpose is to preserve life. Hence equitable agreement will not and cannot be concluded. It is my sincere and fervent prayer that Parliament will take the initiative and inform the Supreme Court of Canada accordingly. On the other hand and alternatively, palli-

ative care in Canada is very worthy of additional attention and funding. DAVID GREEN, LANGLEY Editor: Last week I heard that the Liberal Party will be whipping their members on the issue of euthanasia and assisted suicide when a government bill is voted on in the house. I have serious concerns about this. The members of parliament should have the opportunity to vote their conscience. Members of parliament should be able to have a free vote not be told how to vote by Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Government. I thought we lived in a democracy not a dictatorship. DEAN CLARK, LANGLEY

B.C. Liberals looking to toll every Lower Mainland crossing Editor: I live in Delta and am very familiar with the tunnel traffic volumes during the morning and evening rush hours. The same problem existed when I was the premier, and in 1989 I requested the Ministry of Transportation and Highways get for me an approximate cost for dropping another tube — three lanes, a sidewalk and white ceramic tiles on the walls. It took a while, but not long before I left office an estimate came back. It was so low that I questioned its accuracy.

I was told that it did not include a proposed “cloverleaf exit” and that this would be an added cost. I asked why and was then told that this would require a piece of the Fantasy Garden and they thought they could have a problem with that, my response “no problem, you simply expropriate.” The small research project that was done was left with the NDP. They did nothing and similarly so the successive Liberal governments. For me that doesn’t necessarily

mean the NDP or Liberals didn’t care but it does confirm my suspicion that the bureaucracy and the big corporate influences like the big and expensive projects. I also believe that the B.C. Liberals want every Lower Mainland crossing tolled and, understandably, it would be politically difficult if not impossible to toll an improved existing tunnel that was long paid for. The government now proposes to build a $3.5 billion-plus toll bridge, 50 times more costly than dropping another tunnel tube,

specifically for rush hour traffic. The bureaucracy and big business will love it, but the everyday person travelling to work will pay through the nose and now have no option but to pay. So what happens after I and thousands of others cross the five lanes going to Richmond and Vancouver, having been photographed for the toll on the new bridge, and we all arrive at the same time by the two very narrow lanes on the Oak Street bridge. An even bigger disaster, with

thousands of cars burning costly, heavily taxed fuel, including a carbon tax, and spewing pollution. The Social Credit government, historically, would have no part of tolls. It was seen as another tax on the working person, the people that travel the bridge more than the business person and who, unlike the business person cannot use it as a tax write off. Hoping for a better world. BILL VANDER ZALM, DELTA

Cruise-In’s Friday night at the drive-in returns MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

FREE Personal Planning Guide

The Ron Dunkley Memorial Society is reviving the popular Friday night at the Drive-in to round-out the Langley Good Times Cruise-In weekend of events. Sandy Dunkley, Ron’s mother and founder of the RDMS, said she is happy to bring back the event in conjunction with the Langley Good Times Cruise-In Society. “We are so excited. Jim McGregor is a volunteer with our society and he helped get this organized. “Happy Days is back, but now it will be double the fun and double the amount of cars and people,” said Dunkley. The RDMS held a successful Happy Days event at the drivein last September. It included a ’50s-style sock hop and classic movies. This event is being called “American Graffiti Returns.” The event will take place on Friday, Sept. 9, when classic car owners and others will party the night away at the Twilight Drive-In in Aldergrove. Rockabilly band Six Gun Romeo will play at the sock hop. There will be limbo, jitterbug and twist contests along with prizes for best car, dance and a celebrity look-a-like contest. The evening will end with a showing of American Graffiti on the big screen. Cruise-In Society members had expressed interest in reviving the Friday drive-in for years, but have had too much on their plate to do it themselves. Last year, the society asked the public if any charity or organization would like to step up and take it on. “The Ron Dunkley Memorial Society put a presentation to the board at our last meeting and we liked what we saw,” said Wayne Patterson, Cruise-In Society secretary-treasurer. “They put on a very successful event like this last September, and it was nice to marry it with

This year’s event will be held in conjunction with the annual Good Times Cruise-In, with a dance and movie presented on the Friday night before the classic car show. the Cruise-In.” But Dunkley emphasized they won’t be doing the cruise to the drive-in, as in years past. The Friday night cruise to the drive-in was cancelled in 2011 after the actions of a few troublemakers led to safety concerns. In past years, the Friday night event at the drive-in drew 350 classic cars, said Patterson. “There is definitely potential for that amount of cars to come out. “For $25 per car, it’s an awesome deal to get in a dance, and

check out what is going on at the drive-in. We will be there and are looking forward to it,” said Patterson. The Cruise-In isn’t collecting any funds from the Friday event. Proceeds will go to the Ron Dunkley Memorial Society, to benefit the BC Honour House, a refuge for emergency personnel and their families receiving medical treatments in Vancouver. As always, Saturday is the big Langley Good Times Cruise-In classic car show and Sunday is the swap meet.

Whitecaps FC2 set for Langley debut GARY AH U J A Ti me s Re po r t e r

Kianz Froese was one of — if not the best — players on the pitch for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the team’s Major League Soccer season debut last week. Those were the words of club president Bob Lenarduzzi a few days later at McLeod Athletic Park as he announced the Whitecaps FC 2 (WFC2) — an affiliate squad for Vancouver’s MLS team — will play a pair of games at McLeod Athletic Park this summer. They will host Arizona United SC on Sunday, Aug. 21 and then the Seattle Sounders FC 2 on Labour Day (Sept. 5). Both matches kick off at 3 p.m. “(Kianz) is a perfect example of that WFC2 is all about,” Lenarduzzi explained. Froese, who is now 19, played his first professional game with the club’s affiliate squad and with the chance to show what he could do, was in the team’s MLS opening-day line-up for 2016. WFC2 plays in the United Soccer League and is a

chance for players to gain experience and training as they aim to crack their respective clubs’ MLS team, the highest-level of professional soccer in North America. “What you will see at these games, is that type of player,” Lenarduzzi said. “We absolutely want to win, but that is not the main priority (at this level). Success for us is graduating players from our residency program.” WFC2 — which kicks off their season on March 26 — plays their home games out of UBC’s Thunderbird Stadium. The team’s 20-player roster ranges in age from 15 to 26 and 16 of the players are between the ages of 18 and 24 from a handful of countries. “This will be an excellent opportunity for sports fans to experience this calibre of soccer in their own back yard and the stadium at McLeod Athletic Park will provide the perfect venue for viewing these action-packed matches,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese. This was Lenarduzzi’s first visit to MAP and he said he

Vancouver Whitecaps FC president Bob Lenarduzzi was at McLeod Athletic Park to announce the Whitecaps FC 2 will host a pair of regular season games in Langley this summer. was thoroughly impressed with the facility. He also didn’t rule out the possibility of more games coming to Langley in the future. “It is very intimate here, and I love that,” he said. “(If) we have a couple of good

turnouts and you never know what can happen.” The Township had first approached the ’Caps when they were looking at playing their USL games out of Queen’s Park Stadium in New Westminster in 2014.

That proposal was ultimately turned down by New Westminster city council. “For us, it is great to be able to go to the municipality, but it is even better when a municipality is excited about having you,” Lenarduzzi said.

Seating for McLeod Athletic Park is 2,200 but bleachers can be added to increase that to as many as 5,000 if needed. If a team did come to Langley full time, minimum capacity for the venue would need to be 3,500. The Whitecaps have also partnered with Langley United Soccer Association and more than 500 local youth soccer players will attend and participate in match-day roles. “There’s nothing more beneficial to young players and their development than having a professional level to strive towards,” said Mike Thomson, vice president of the Langley United Soccer Association. “Our young players look for mentors to idolize and emulate, that’s what Whitecaps FC give us. We are proud to be able to support Whitecaps FC because they continually mentor and support our players. They set the example of what is possible when you try your hardest and that professional, top level, competitive soccer isn’t out of reach for local players.”

Politicians present Langley state of the union St aff Re po r te r

Things got political during the March meeting of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. Conservative MP Mark Warawa (Langley-Aldergrove) and Liberal MP John Aldag (Cloverdale-Langley City) joined Langley Township and City mayors Jack Froese and Ted Schaffer on the dais at Coast Hotel on Tuesday, as they presented Langley’s version of the state of the union. Each man was given five minutes to speak on topics of their choice before the floor was thrown

open to questions. The four politicians were quizzed on transit and related infrastructure, crime and homelessness, legalization of marijuana and a push to extend hours at the Aldergrove border crossing. Warawa told the gathering that he has urged Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale to expand the hours of the Aldergrove border crossing to round the clock (see related story, Page 7). The Conservative MP used the last of his five minutes to lobby for a pipeline to move liquid natural gas (LNG) to the west coast, so that

it can be shipped to China and replace coal as a cleaner burning option for manufacturing. Offering a quick summary of his

first five months in office, Aldag drew attention to a recent town hall meeting held in Langley to discuss physician assisted dying. He also noted the arrival of 25,000 Syrian refugees in Canada and highlighted an impending tax cut for middle-class workers, earning between $45,000 and $90,000. Teasing the March 22 federal budget, Aldag indicated the current government plans to honour a commitment made by Warawa’s Conservatives last July to contribute $22.3 million toward a new 216 Street interchange.

Acknowledging the Liberals’ commitment to provide funding for that project, Froese said with funds to widen the nearby 208 Street overpass included in the Township’s budget, residents can also expect to see that construction take place over the next couple of years. Questioned on whether he’d prefer to see at-grade light rail or SkyTrain connect Surrey and Langley, Froese said it didn’t matter to him as long as something gets built. Continued Page 13

ue of recreational marijuana in B.C. alone amounted to about $6 billion. In the past 13 years that figure “has more than likely doubled,” he said. Those proceeds go directly to organized crime and are used to pay for hard drugs and guns, Aldag added, noting that marijuana is easy for young people to get and is often laced with dangerous chemicals. “This is about taking control and making it less accessible to youth.” Concerning medical marijuana grow ops, Aldag said the goal is to find a balance, where it is available to people who need it, without creating problems for neighbours. “We know it’s an issue that needs to be worked on sooner (rather) than later. I have no hard answers, but we’re aware the current program for medical marijuana is not working and needs to be revisited.” The final question to the four candidates asked each to address

“I don’t care how they get it here, as long as they get it here. I’ll leave the design to the engineers.” However, the answer to local transit problems includes more buses on Langley roads as well as rail service, Froese stressed. Transportation is also a key priority for the City, said Mayor Ted Schaffer. He told the crowd that if he had his druthers, SkyTrain would one day make its way along Fraser Highway, connecting the existing line from King George station to the Abbotsford airport Metro Vancouver is not the only region looking for transportation funding from the federal government, noted Aldag. The important thing, he said, is to have a solid proposal in place soon. Currently, the proposal is for atgrade LRT, he said. If the region’s position changes and SkyTrain is chosen instead, “I’d have to sell that.” While the Liberals have committed $20 billion for transit over the next 10 years, there are a lot of hands out, Aldag warned. “If we don’t decide quickly and (if necessary) get a revised ask in quickly, lots of other communities are already asking for the money.” Questioned on legalization of marijuana, Aldag said recreational and medical use need to be addressed separately. A 2003 study estimated the val-

the issue of homelessness. Noting the previous federal government contributed to Langley’s Gateway of Hope shelter, Warawa said homelessness is primarily an issue for local and provincial governments. Aldag said he believes there is a role for the government of Canada to play and noted that social infrastructure is one of three areas, including transit and green infrastructure, to which the feds have committed $20 billion each over the next 10 years. The City is working to address the problem through its task force on homelessness, said Schaffer. Among its recommendations — which will go next to a public safety committee — is a call for a multi-jursidictional approach “It’s difficult as a small city. We only have so much tax money to go around, said Schaffer. “That’s why we need provincial and federal help. Homelessness is not an issue that just stops at the border, said Froese, but one that needs to be addressed at all levels of government. Some people are not housed because they don’t want to be housed, he said. “It’s a problem that will never go away . . . (so) we need to have meaningful services in place. “I look at them as residents of the Township. They’re just as important as anyone else and we need to help them. “There’s no quick fix.”

In 140 characters or less, explain how to improve agricultural safety and you could win $50 worth of free gas or $100 in groceries. A year-long campaign on Twitter, the short-form internet social media feed, has just been launched by AgSafe BC, in partnership with the BC Agriculture Council (BCAC). It offers a monthly prize of a $50 gas card for the best #AgSafetyChamp postings. The launch of the contest coincides with Agriculture Safety Week in Canada (from March 13 to March 19), during which nominees were also eligible to

win one of two $100 Save-onFoods gift certificates. The contest is open to large and small farms, ranches, vineyards or retail garden centres. Entrants are invited to share experiences, tips, photos and motivation for staying safe or to nominate someone who is a leader in agriculture safety practices. Nominations can also be made by visiting the #AgSafetyChamp page on the AgSafe website. One of the first #AgSafetyChamp postings was a tonguein-cheek message from the Twitter account of ARDCorp, the wholly owned subsidiary of the BCAC, which wrote “Ag safety tip #1...always wear gumboots when puddle jumping!” The @bcagcouncil twitter account called that “cute” and added a smiley-face emoticon “:)” before asking if anyone has any “REAL safety tips (to)

share.” The #AgSafetyChamp campaign is B.C.’s first ever Champion of Agriculture Award. The 2016 Champion of Agriculture Safety will be announced at the BCAC Agri-Food Industry Gala on January 25, 2017. “Ultimately we want to help farmers continue to reduce the number of on-farm accidents across the province” AgSafe Executive Director, Wendy Bennett said. “The key to #AgSafetyChamp is farmers helping farmers (by) sharing tips for safety.” AgSafe BC estimates that over the past 10 years, its safety training and education programs for BC farmers and ranchers have helped to reduce the number of farm fatalities by 50 per cent and accident claims by 27 per cent.

If you’ve been unable to satisfy your income tax, GST or payroll debts with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), a government-Licensed Insolvency Trustee is your best ally.

A Consumer Proposal is the only mechanism in Canada that can be used to settle CRA debts for less than the full amount owing, with no additional interest or penalties. If you are unable to contribute towards repaying part of the tax balance due, bankruptcy can also eliminate debts due to income taxes or GST. CRA is a powerful creditor and can pursue drastic collection action. If you have an unmanageable tax debt, it’s important to address it without delay.

Q A

With it being a sellers market right now what would you recommend for someone who is buying? It would be considered a sellers market right now but as a buyer don’t be in a rush, keep your eye on the market. If your considering downsizing or relocating it is an ideal time to sell. Single family homes and acreages have risen significantly in price while apartments or town homes have not increased in price to the same degree giving sellers looking to downsize a distinct advantage in terms of a net gain. With the nicer weather coming there will be more inventory. Pre-approval is important and be ready to make an offer when you see something you like.

Q I THINK I HAVE A HEARING PROBLEM. WHAT SHOULD I DO? A

If you are suspicious that you may have a hearing loss, the first step to take is have your hearing tested. At EARS HEARING LANGLEY we will provide you with a FREE hearing evaluation and give you the results during your first appointment. The cause of your hearing loss may be as simple as a buildup of wax in your ear canal. • Do you….Often ask people to repeat what they say? • Do you….Have trouble hearing in groups? • Do you….Turn the volume up on the TV or Radio? • Do you….Have difficulty following conversation at a restaurant or party? • Do you….Find family get-togethers a challenge because so many people are talking at once? If you answered ‘Yes” to one or more of the above questions you may have hearing loss. Often family and/or friends will notice we have a hearing loss before we do ourselves…..take their concerns seriously. Kim Galick,

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.

Q What is High Value Home Insurance? high value homes come with an insurance appraisal; the appraisal fee is either covered by A Most the insurer or split with the homeowner on a 50/50 basis. • High value policies often carry higher limits of jewelry and business tools or equipment. • Wine cellars or wine collections can be insured with varying limits. • Antiques and fine art can be insured to replacement cost, even if you cannot replace them.

• Some insurers offer replacement cost with no obligation to rebuild without deduction for depreciation. • Some insurers will guarantee your mortgage rate (mortgage rate protection) should the rates increase during the reconstruction of your home.

• For further details regarding whether a High Value Home insurance policy is right for you, please contact B&W Insurance and speak with one of our home insurance specialists.

Q How Can I Reduce Sensitivity in My Teeth? A

Over half the population will suffer sensitivity in their teeth at some point in their lives. In order to treat sensitive teeth, first it is important to understand what causes it. Teeth have two layers in their crowns: dentin and enamel. Enamel is the outer layer and the in inner layer, dentin, is layer that surrounds the pulp chamber which houses the nerves and blood vessels. Within dentin, there are thousands of tiny tubes that run from the nerves to the outer surface of the dentin layer. Within these tubes are fluid that react to hot and cold and send signals to the nerves. Over time, enamel can wear away. With exposed dentin, there’s not much inhibiting the transmission of hot and cold down the tubes and therefore, increases the amount of sensitivity your tooth feels. Gum recession is another cause of sensitivity as well. As gums recede, they expose the roots of the teeth. The roots of teeth do not have the protective layer of enamel, and therefore the tubes are easily exposed. In order to determine the best treatment for tooth sensitivity, it is important to see your local dentist to discuss the proper route of action. Some gum recession can be reversed by attaching tissue the exposed roots and thus, covering up the problem. In other cases, if there is a large dentin exposure, then your dentist might recommend covering it up with a restorative material, therefore providing a protective layer. For smaller exposures of dentin, your dentist might suggest using a specialized toothpaste that contains desensitizing components. These components bind to the tubes and thus, block them and inhibit the movement of the fluid. Your dentist might also suggest a paint on varnish that can be applied therefore covering up the exposed dentin.

pollen, dust mites and pet dander. When this happens your body releases chemicals like histamine which causes swelling and inflammation causing runny nose, sneezing and itchy watery eyes. Quercetin is a natural bioflavonoid that helps Mast cells from releasing histamine, thus less inflammation. It’s suggested to start taking Quercetin 4-6 weeks before the allergy season to help prevent allergy symptoms. Another supplement that is also helpful for allergies is Allergy Relief from A. Vogel. This is a homeopathic preparation that not only lowers the allergic reaction but also provides relief from the symptoms. Both of these products are available at Nutrition House in the Willowbrook Shopping Centre.

Q How can I lose belly fat? - Kristina G. is probably our most commonly asked question at Equilibria. And the answer is simple A This - when you lose fat through exercise and improving your nutrition - you will lose belly fat.

Dr. Athar Butt BSc, DDS Dentist

#102 20644 Fraser Hwy. 604-510-5300 www.langleybcdentist.ca

When you start to lose fat - you can’t choose where you want to lose it from first. Some of us lose fat pretty evenly all over the body and it can seem like it’s taking a long time to flatten the tummy, while others lose a ton in one area first, and then in a more overall fashion. It’s genetics, it’s hormones and it’s purely individual. But along the way it’s important to start toning and shaping the abdominal muscles that lie underneath our fat layer. So that as the fat shrinks, the muscle definition starts to show up, Kathie Marshall Owner which is a nice bonus. Be patient - along the way from where you are to where you are going is where all the magic happens. Making good choices for yourself, empowering yourself through healthy nutrition and plenty of exercise is the real gift. The flat stomach is just the bonus. Have a question?

For bathrooms we are seeing multiple tile choices and TVs in bathrooms and living spaces in the bathroom.” Bathrooms and kitchens are the two areas people are looking at when they shop for a new home, according to Ansell. Those are also the two areas that are most costly to renovate. “There are small changes you

can make to your kitchens and bathrooms that will help update those areas on a budget: paint old cabinets fresh white, update handles and pulls on cabinets, clean and re-grout tile, paint old coloured tiles to a new fresh colour and declutter the spaces.” The reason for staging a home, especially the kitchen and bathroom, is to create a neutral canvas that helps a wide range of buyers to visualize their lives.

“They want to see those areas are updated to a more modern standards they can see themselves living in,” says Ansell. To successfully stage a home, you have to step outside your taste preference and step inside the mind of a potential homebuyer. While it’s difficult to look at your home with a stranger’s eye, it's crucial if you want to sell it.

Golden finish to TWU’s magical run GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Trinity Western head coach Ben Josephson is still taking some grief from his players for how he thought this season would play out. “The guys are still joking about it,” chuckled the men’s volleyball coach. “‘Coach, you said this was a building year.’” “We definitely swung above the goals we had set out to accomplish,” Josephson said. “I don’t think the guys full bought in that it was a building year. They said ‘forget that, we are just going to win.’” The No. 2 Spartans defeated the host — and top-ranked — McMaster Marauders 3-1 (19-25,25-20,26-24,2516) on Saturday night in Hamilton, Ont. It was in the same venue as the Spartans first CIS men’s volleyball national title 10 years ago and it is their third national title in the past six years. “The crowd and the home atmosphere definitely took us off our game in the first set and it made it an uphill climb after that,” Josephson said. “Stealing that third

MAR K JANZ EN TWU Athle tic s

A jubilant Ryan Sclater (#10) grabs Blake Scheerhoorn after the final point of the Trinity Western Spartans victory in the CIS championship final on Saturday night in Hamilton, Ont. The Spartans defeated the host McMaster Marauders 3-1. set was insane. Then we started the fourth set hot and the rest is history.” What makes this run even more remarkable was that the Spartans were sitting at 9-9 heading into the bye week in their schedule. They closed the reg-

ular season with five wins in six games and then after losing their playoff opener, strung together seven straight victories to capture the CIS banner. “We were doing all the things we needed to be successful, but we didn’t know when

the success would come, this year, next year, who knows,” Josephson said. “We just weren’t getting any wins in the middle of the season, or the wins we thought we should get. We just kept telling the guys the wheels were spin-

ning, it was just a matter of time until we started getting some momentum.” “This is a culmination of a lot of hard work and trust in each other and in our teammates and in our system,” said TWU’s Ryan Sclater, who led the

team with 20 kills in the gold-medal match. “There were a lot of weeks when it felt like it just wasn’t quite working like it was supposed to work.” But the team stuck with it, started winning, and along the way, found some resiliency and toughness. A perfect example of that resiliency and toughness was the play of Leigh Goossen. The middle blocker was sick and vomiting over the tournament’s final two days and hadn’t eaten in the 40 hours before the gold-medal game. All he was able to keep down was some chicken broth and fluid nutrition concoctions, Josephson said. But on the floor, he was out there, giving all he could. (For more, go to www.langleytimes. com). “That’s unbelievable toughness and commitment to our team and commitment to each other,” Sclater said in describing what his teammate endured. “I know that every single one of us was trying to give Leigh everything we had and he gave us everything he had.”

Following the championship final, Goossen was taken to the hospital to get an IV. “Whatever he had to give, he was willing,” Josephson said, adding this was a story of sacrifice and focus. The Spartans did not have a single player receive all-Canadian honours. For Blake Scheerhoorn, the victory was extra special as it came in his home province. “There were times during the season when I was praying that I’d get the chance to just play one game in front of my friends and family and then we went on this Cinderella run,” he said. “I have played my whole career against these (McMaster) guys in Ontario and these are all guys I have constantly lost to in my career in Ontario.” He finished the tournament with 61 kills over three matches and was named tournament MVP. Sclater had 58 kills over the weekend and was selected a tournament all-star. In the team’s other matches, they beat Ryerson 3-1 and Alberta 3-2.

Spartans season ends with silver lining GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

While finishing second in the entire country is an outstanding accomplishment, it still stung for the Trinity Western Spartans. The women’s volleyball team was the top seed and going for their second consecutive national championship, when they fell short in the gold-medal

match against the Toronto Varsity Blues. The game was played at Brandon University on Sunday. “It’s tough,” admitted Spartans coach Ryan Hofer. “We were going for gold, so I can’t deny there is a little bit of heartbreak and it is tough. “But I have a pretty resilient group, a pretty tough

group and they achieved special things this season.” The Spartans fell 3-0 (2521, 25-18, 25-12) to the second-ranked Varsity Blues. Trinity Western was looking to become the 10th straight Canada West team to win the national title. It was Toronto’s first-ever title in the sport and the first time an Ontario school won the trophy in 40 years. They

finished a perfect 25-0 on the season, dropping just four sets along the way. The Spartans were coming off a pair of 3-1 victories in the quarter-finals and semifinals against Brandon and UBC, respectively. They led the first set 7-4, but after that, Toronto took full control. “We felt we were prepared, we felt we were

ready. I don’t think we were overconfident,” Hofer said. “We got caught in a couple of rows which were tough for us to get out of and they took advantage.” “Full props to Toronto, they came out and played very well, they beat two Canada West teams to get to the finals and the championship,” he added. Elizabeth Wendel led the

Spartans with 13 kills in the gold-medal match. Both Wendel and setter Nikki Cornwall were named tournament all-stars. Wendel and Cornwall were also named first team all-Canadians while Sophie Carpentier and Katelyn Devaney were second team selections. Rowyn Neufeld was named to the CIS all-rookie team.

in five games to the Wenatchee Wild. The teams had split the first two games in Wenatchee, Langley winning the opener 4-3 while the Wild won by that same score the next night, except in overtime. And game three was a huge momentum shifter. After Langley recovered from a 4-0 first period deficit and a 6-4 disadvantage in the

third, the Wild won on a fluky goal 18 seconds into overtime for the 7-6 win and series lead. Game four was 5-0 for Wenatchee — although it was just 2-0 heading into the third period — and the Wild closed things out with a 3-1 victory in game five. The final goal came into an empty net, so four of the five games were essentially onegoal hockey games.

“Their goalie was hot the last three games,” Henderson said. “We had plenty of chances but just couldn’t capitalize. “It was just that kind of series.” The Rivermen scored 14 goals in the series, but just one in the final 120 minutes. The Wild’s Chase Perry was in goal for the game one loss and then after sitting game two, returned to the net in game three fol-

lowing a pair of quick Rivermen goals. But after Langley scored four times in game three, Perry virtually shut the door the rest of the way. He stopped all 29 shots in game four and then made 25 saves on 26 shots in the series clincher. Torrin White was Langley’s leading scorer, potting four of his team’s 14 goals. The Rivermen were hurt by the absence of their leading scorer in the regular season, Justin Fregona, who was injured in game one of the series. He had 24 goals and 49 points in 51 regular season games. Now that the emotion of losing a series has settled down, Henderson said it was another successful campaign. “We cracked the 30win mark and moved a lot of players on. And we have some good young players returning, and good recruits lined up,” Henderson said. “All in all, I have to say it was a successful season. I mean, you want to play as long as you can, but for us it is about developing players and moving them along.” A dozen of the team’s 23 players earned NCAA scholarships. The team also had its year-end awards banquet on Tuesday night. Award winners were: Matthew Graham (top forward); Bo Didur (MVP); Adam Sinclair (unsung hero); Justin Fregona (fan favourite); Ryan Barrow (most improved); Will Campion (top defenceman); Justin Szeto (community award); Torrin White (most dedicated); and Max Kaufman (energy player).

Stealth hoping for spark GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The last time the Vancouver Stealth franchise made a mid-season coaching move, it sparked the team all the way to the division finals that season, and then ultimately, the Champion’s Cup the following year. The Stealth are hoping to recapture that magic after firing head coach Dan Perreault on Monday following the Stealth’s 9-6 loss to the Toronto Rock, which dropped Vancouver to 3-7. They are just a half-game behind third-place Calgary with a game in hand. “That’s the reason you do something like this now,” said Vancouver general manager Doug Locker. “You have got to change the dynamic and you can’t change out 20-something players to make the kind of impact you want to make.” Locker said the Stealth have a talented roster but for whatever reason, that hasn’t translated in terms of wins and losses, so the decision was made to change the voice. Locker was an assistant general manager for that 2009 squad which replaced Jeff Dowling with assistant coach Chris Hall. But this time, the organization has gone outside for their new coach, hiring Jamie Batley. The announcement was made Tuesday. He has coached for three NLL teams, going 43-41. His last stop in the league was with Colorado in 2009. Batley, 49, has also coached senior A lacrosse, winning five

Third-seed TWU hockey team upsets second-ranked SFU

Matt Vela scored at 7:15 of overtime to help the Trinity Western Spartans advance to the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League finals. Vela’s goal gave the Spartans a 5-4 win over the SFU Clan on Saturday at the George Preston Recreation Centre in game two of the best-of-three semifinal series. SFU was the second seed while TWU was the third seed. Silas Matthys stopped 39 shots for the win. The Spartans trailed 4-3 heading into the third period but Jamie Russell forced overtime with less than 90 seconds remaining. He also set up Vela’s winner and was named the league’s first star of the week.

Three gold for TWU

“It’s good to get a team win when everyone is doing the things that they need to be doing. We continue to be a lunch bucket brigade of guys who keep things as simple as we can with as much hard work as we can and getting the job done,” said Spartans coach Barret Kropf. “So when you get a team win with a 60-plus minute effort it makes me pretty proud of the guys. “[Grange] Gordon, Vela and [Brett] Wur were just buzz saws all series and gave us good checking match-ups and were able to contribute on the board as well. “Their speed helped carry some shifts and create momentum. So when you are getting scoring throughout your lineup it is a great sign of team play and I’m very proud of the guys tonight.” PJ Buys, Kaleb Denham and

Trinity Western Spartans athletes returned from the CIS national championships with four medals — including three gold. The athletes were competing in Toronto on March 10-12 with the women’s team finishing eighth overall

Florian Niedermaier had the other TWU goals. TWU won the opener 6-3 the night before on the road. The Spartans managed just 18 shots while Matthys was again stellar, finishing with 33 saves on 36 shots. Cody Stephenson, Ryan Bakken, Mattias Schmitt and Jacob Mills had a goal apiece while Niedermaier notched a pair of goals. The Spartans face the topseed Selkirk Saints in a best-ofthree series beginning tonight (Friday). All three games are in Castlegar. The teams went 3-3 in headto-head action during the regular season. ••• Defenceman Blair Murphy was named a BCIHL first team all-star on Tuesday while forward PJ Buys and goaltender Silas Matthys were second team selections.

while the mens’ team was 16th. Nathan George got things started winning gold in the 300m with a time of 33.52. He became the first male Spartan athlete to win a gold medal at nationals. For the women,

Emma Nuttall took gold in the high jump, clearing 1.73m. And the other two medals both came from Regan Yee. She won gold in the 3000m with a time of 9:37.12 and then took bronze in the 1500m with a time of 4:26.02.

Four medals for Williams at Canada Games

Langley’s Matthew Williams returned from the 2016 Special Olympics Canada Winter Games with four medals. Competing in speed skating, Williams won gold in the 1500m race, a pair of silver medals in the 777m and 1000m events and bronze in the 333m. The Games were held March 1 to 5 in Corner Brook, Newfoundland

and Labrador. Team BC earned a total of 120 medals at the competition. A pair of Langley coaches — Sheila Snell and Dwayne Wright — helped the Surrey Rocks to a fourth-place finish in their division. ••• Fresh off setting a school record for the University of Wisconsin in the pentathlon, Langley’s Geor-

briefs gia Ellenwood sets her sights on helping Canada this weekend at the IAAF world indoor championships in Portland, Ore. The Wisconsin junior placed second at the

Big Ten indoor track and field championships with 4,392 points in the pentathlon. The score is the best posted by a Canadian athlete this season and ranks 19th in the world. Last weekend, Ellenwood scored 4,390 points to place fourth at the NCAA indoor championships. The world championships began yesterday (Thursday) and

run through Sunday. The event is the last major international competition prior to this summer’s Olympic Games. ••• The March 11 edition of the Langley Times incorrectly identified a Langley boy who won gold as well as listed that it was a senior girls team that won the silver medal. It was in fact a se-

nior boys team — Cole Fischer, Braydyn Ingebrigtsen, Wesley Cooper and Moneesh Goundar — from Willowbrook Lanes which finished second at the 5 Pin Youth Bowling Provincials on March 5 in Kamloops. And it was Jayden Allgaier-Hassan who captured the bantam boys title at provincials after bowling a score of 1,111 points.

MY CHOICE sales event

I want to take the time to thank you for the fantastic new Rogue I now drive and LOVE! I like most people dread the thought of coming to a car dealership and being cornered into a something I’m not interested in. However that was far from the case when working with Rena at Jonker Nissan. From the follow-up email to my initial inquiry she was professional and listened to what was interested in. She provided me with several different options with various different price points being sure to point out the different benefits of each option. She was delightful to work with; I didn’t expect to purchase a new vehicle that day but Rena instilled confidence in your organization and the vehicle I wanted so I was very comfortable making that decision immediately and I have not suffered buyer’s remorse on that decision, quite the opposite...I love the new Rogue!

We were looking to buy a sedan, we called several dealers including Jonker Nissan. The salesman on the phone was very friendly and polite. We live in Abbotsford but because of how nice Vonn was on the phone we decided to go see him the next day. We were more impressed with his professionalism and how he took care of us, so we bought a brand new Sentra from him. Thank you so much Vonn. Mr. & Mrs. Gill

Over the last year, as we prepared to transition to retirement, we visited most automotive dealers in the Surrey/Langley/White Rock area in search of the right combination of vehicles that would best serve us. In the spring, we had the good fortune to meet with Les Flewelling from Jonker Nissan. Les presented us with a knowledgeable, straight forward and honest approach. Les quickly gained our trust. In May we took possession of our 2015 Nissan Murano and in September a 2015 Nissan Micra. Between our two purchases, Les also sold one of our children a previously owned Nissan. In retrospect, there is absolutely no doubt that Les and the Jonker Nissan team that supports him was the right choice for us and our family. We have great confidence in recommending Jonker Nissan to others. John

Rena was amazing! She knew all the answers to the many questions… We ended up with the Pathfinder and because she was so thorough we didn’t have any questions at the end. Rena made us feel that our business really mattered to her. We didn’t feel like just another sale which is so nice. This is our 3rd Nissan and we know why! Lisae

3 Reasons to Lease:

You pay for only part of the car you are going to use.

The payment on a lease is made on a much smaller balance than a comparable term loan. The tax is paid as you go, and not up front, as with the purchase. With a lease, you get a smaller obligation and smaller payment, and less taxes.

A lease gives you options that give you more control of vehicle costs.

Equity may accumulate due to Nissan’s strong resale value; the value may actually increase! A lease protects you from any loss in vehicle due to any unforeseen price influences (economic conditions, manufacture problems, accident declarations, vehicle loss of popularity, gas consumption, etc). And you can buy out the lease and own the vehicle at any time.

A lease can give you better cash flow.

The lease gives you a new car with smaller payments and the ability to cash in on any equity. Smaller payments may allow you to buy that new car (warranty, features, etc) rather than a used one that may involve more maintenance or repairs.

a lifestyle choice that allows you to get more car, more often, with better options and flexibility.

We bought a Nissan Juke and had a wonderful buying experience at Jonkers. Our salesman Mr. Vonn Chan is not pushy and very knowledgeable. We shopped around and Vonn gave us the best deal! Aileen Mendozae

A rare car restoration in progress on display The extreme nature of this build is creating excitement across North America.

“

’’

Keith Morgan

Custom car shop, 360 Fabrication of Abbotsford is planning a very unusual exhibit for the Vancouver International Auto Show next week at the Vancouver Conference Centre West. It will showcase a “restoration in progress” display of one of the country’s most anticipated restorations for 2016. The rare 1932 Desoto is being completely modified for a high-profile Calgary auto enthusiast. It will be stretched and widened and feature other extreme metal work. and design. “The extreme nature of this build is creating excitement across North America, and we’re very proud to be working on such an exciting project, especially in our 10th anniversary year,” says 360 Fabrication

President Rick Francoeur. “We’ve had the car largely secured from public viewing during this build given the intellectual property around the artistic nature of the design, but given the number of people who have expressed an interest in seeing the vehicle, the owner has agreed to a very special “under construction” viewing only at the show. This car will travel the international show circuit once done, but to be able to unveil it in full

metal, in progress is very exciting.” The rebuilt Desoto will feature a LS9 ZR1 motor. Other elements of the 360 10th anniversary display will include a rare, fully restored 1967 T5 Mustang. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Mercedes-AMG E43 announced Hot on the heels of the world premiere for the new MercedesBenz E-Class at the North American International Auto Show this January, the first high-performance variant of the new E-Class is already on the way from Mercedes-AMG. The Mercedes-AMG E43, boasting a 3.0-litre V6 Biturbo engine, will represent the most powerful variant of the luxury sedan when it hits dealerships by early 2017. This high-powered six-cylinder engine delivers an output of 396 hp and 384 lb/ft of torque. The AMG Performance 4MATIC four-wheel drive combines optimum traction with high agility on the AMG E43, thanks to rear-biased torque distribution with a front-to-rear ratio of 31:69 per cent. The 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission with shorter shift times, AMG AIRMATIC Adaptive Sport Suspension and the more direct steering ratio also provide for signature AMG Driving Performance. This package guarantees performance on par with many a sports car: the new AMG E43 achieves a 0-60 mph time in just 4.5 second, while its top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph.

The first performance version of the new E-Class, the Mercedes-AMG E43, is coming early next year.

OBITUARIES

April 14, 1930 - March 7, 2016 Tom Beattie passed away peacefully on February 21, at the age of 74. Born in Belfast, N. Ireland to Thomas and Elizabeth Beattie, he is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Reta Beattie, sons Tom (Susan; Emily, Devan, Colton) and Gary (Ryan, Scott) and extended family in B.C., U.S., and N. Ireland. Dad excelled at judo, jui jitsu, and was captain of the Rugby team where he earned the name “Beastly Beattie” for his vigor on the field. He trained with the police, SAS and Royal Marines. Dad passed his university entrance exams but pursued a trade as a steel fabricator, while continuing with night school for power engineering. He was an officer in the Merchant Marines where he traveled to every country in the world that had a sea port. Dad climbed the pyramids, safaried in Kenya, drank with French paratroopers in Dubai, caught tiger sharks in the Indian Ocean, endured north Atlantic winter storms-he even fought a professional boxing champion, and won. Dad was tough but fair and always saw people’s potential, regardless of age, race, or gender. Always for the underdog, he was generous, humble, quick witted, sharp tongued, and told it like it is-truly a diamond in the rough. Dad spent his later years in Birch Bay, WA, where he loved the beach and enjoyed his many good friends. He will be sorely missed and lovingly remembered always. A service will be held Saturday March 19 at 3:00pm at Milner Chapel, Langley. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Children’s Hospital.
