Bank robber strikes in three provinces

Mushroom barn repurposed as grow-op

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

The man who robbed the Al-dergrove TD Canada Trust bank on Jan. 21 may be a modern-day Jesse James.

RCMP from B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan, as well as the Lethbridge Regional Police Ser-vice, believe the same man committed eight armed robber-ies across the three provinces in eight weeks.

In each robbery, surveillance pictures show the same man.

The robberies occurred Dec. 1, 2014 in Princeton, Dec. 9 in Ver-non, Dec. 19 in High River, Alta., Dec. 23 in Merritt, Jan. 8 in Swift Current, Sask., Jan. 13 in Leth-bridge, Jan. 16 in Claresholm, Alta., Jan. 21, in Aldergrove.


A marijuana grow operation on a “mas-sive scale” has been dismantled on a for-mer mushroom farm at 0 Avenue and 264 Street on Tuesday.

Acting on tips from several sources,

members of the federal serious and orga-nized crime unit along with Langley RCMP and Vancouver Police descended on the seven-acre property with a search warrant around 9:30 a.m.

More than 10 people were arrested on site and an enormous grow-op, with sever-al rooms and plenty of sophistication, was

discovered in a 51,000 square foot barn, said Sgt. Laurie White of the federal unit.

The scope of this grow operation is mas-sive and one of the largest they have seen, she said.

The federal police unit spent a month in-vestigating this property.

“The investigation will try to determine

who this is being produced for but at this time we don’t know that yet. This isn’t a mom and pop type grow-op,” said White.

The property neighbours the border but it doesn’t appear that it has an American connection.

Multiple security camera images from different fi nancial institutions in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan show a male suspect who is believed to be the same person. Most recently, the TD Canada Trust Bank in Aldergrove was held up on Wednesday, Jan. 21.

Messages of sympathy were posted at the Brookswood off-leash park after it was revealed that the six dogs Emma Paulsen had claimed went missing there actually died of heat stroke in her vehicle while it was parked in Richmond.

DAN FERGUSON Langley Times

Supporters of Langley Animal Protection Society crowded council chambers Monday to hear Darrell Dean and Dr. Kathryn Welsman make the case for a standalone facility to deal with stray cats.


SHEILA REYNOLDSBlack Press

Former dog walker Emma Paulsen has been sentenced to six months in jail and two years probation.

She has also been prohibited from owning animals for 10 years.

Paulsen pleaded guilty in No-vember to animal cruelty and public mischief. Her sentencing took place in Surrey Provincial Court Wednesday (Jan. 28), with Judge James Jardine presiding.

Paulsen, who was a professional dog walker for several years, was taking care of eight dogs last May. She sparked widespread media coverage, public grief and numer-ous searches after she reported that six of the dogs were stolen from the back of her truck, which she claimed was parked at the Brookswood off-leash dog park in Langley.

She pleaded on TV for the dogs’ return. This prompted a massive search in the area near the off-leash park, with no results.

Days later, she revealed she had concocted the whole story. The truth, she admitted, was the ca-nines died in the back of her can-opied truck while she was shop-ping in Richmond, on a warm day. She then drove to Abbotsford, where she dumped the corpses in a ditch.

Necropsies revealed the dogs died of heat stroke.

The Crown sought six to 12 months jail, a $5,000 to $10,000 fi ne, a lifetime ban on caring for others’ animals and a 10-year prohibition from owning or living with animals.

Her defence lawyer recom-mended a conditional sentence served in the community.

Dog walker off to jail

Standalone cat shelterpitched to council

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

Supporters of the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) crowded into Langley Township council chambers Monday night (Jan. 26) to hear the organization pitch a proposal for a new facil-ity to spay and neuter the ever-increasing num-bers of wild cats in the community.

LAPS executive director Sean Baker and board members Darrell Dean and Dr. Kathryn Wels-man said LAPS, which has provided animal con-trol services in Langley since 2003, can cover 60 per cent of the cost of the new 1,200-square foot building, if the Township will contribute the other 40 per cent.

That would be about $225,000 for the munici-pality, LAPS projects.

Welsman said LAPS estimates there are 22,000 “unowned, feral and abandoned cats” in the Township, and the number is growing.

Those cats are overwhelming the existing facil-ity, which can only accommodate about 30 cats before staff have resort to using spaces for dog assessment, training, grooming, even staff offi c-es, she said.

Because the Township shelter wasn’t designed to isolate sick cats from other animals, disease can spread, Welsman added.

She described how there was a ringworm out-break caused by a litter of kittens at the shelter several years ago that spread to other shelter an-imals, and to some volunteers, who brought the disease home to their families and pets.

“The solution is very clear,” Welsman said.LAPS is proposing a separate building that can

properly isolate and treat sick cats.To be named the ISOasis, the building would

also increase the cat capacity of the shelter and make it eligible for specifi c spay and neuter grants from groups like the SPCA.

The proposal has been added to a list of poten-tial projects that will be considered by council during the Township budget process, mayor Jack Froese said.

He added the Township has received many messages supporting the LAPS plan from a lot of different places.

“I’ve been getting emails [backing ISOasis] from all over the world,” Froese said.

“I got one from Minnesota today.”

“Canadian Border Services Agency and U.S. border offi cials were aware of our investigation but they aren’t in-volved,” said White.

White said offi cers were going to be on the property for the entire day and likely longer, dismantling it and taking

away the plants. She didn’t yet know how many pot plants were being har-vested.

“It’s going to take some time to sort through this,” said White.

None of the 10 people arrested have been charged.

Expensive equipment, including nu-merous air conditioners that were lo-

cated outside the building, were used to cool down the operation.

Grow-ops expend a lot of heat and at this size, they need cooling.

Police weren’t sure the grow-op is licensed, but even if it was licensed, there are restrictions to the amount of pot grown and who can tend to the plants, said White.

In each case, the suspect wore a black toque, black gloves, sunglasses and managed to fl ee on foot with sums of money.

All robberies involved a weapon; either being produced or mentioned, said the various police agencies.

In all instances, the suspect left the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash and fl ed on foot. No employees or customers present in the fi nan-cial institutions were physically injured.

Police from all three provinces are working to identify the person responsible and bring him safely into custody. The public should not ap-proach the suspect as he is considered armed and dangerous, said RCMP.

Anyone with information regarding any of these robberies, or if you have information on the identity of the suspect, call the tip line at 1-844-887-6287.

Or you can call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

From Page 1

Langley RCMP are hoping someone can ID a man accused of running up $10,000 from someone else’s bank account using a stolen debit card.

Police released a sur-veillance photo of the suspect using the sto-len debit card on Jan. 23.

More than $10,000 in charges had gone out of the victim’s bank account when the charges were discov-ered and reported to police. Police believe the debit card had been stolen from the mail.

If you have informa-tion that might assist police with this inves-tigations, please call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. Should you need to remain anony-mous, call CrimeStop-pers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Police were still at the scene of a gigantic illegal marijuana grow op on 264 Street near Zero Avenue on Wednesday morning, the day after 10 people were arrested inside a former mushroom barn.

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

There have been singers in every genre from coun-try to pop to opera, dancers — both troupes and solo acts — rock bands, rappers and even a Cirque du Soleil-style contortionist.

The range and cal-ibre of performers that have graced the stage of Langley’s Christian Life As-sembly during the

past four years has only supported what organizers of the annual Langley Has Talent competition set out to prove in 2011, said organiz-er Peter Luongo — that the community is ready for its own dedicated perform-ing arts centre.

And over the next three weekends, Langley Has Talent’s audition judges will be looking for even more variety among

the performers who try out to be part of what is expected to be the competition’s fi nal season.

“We’d love to see more classical mu-sicians, more dance troupes and groups of musicians,” said Luongo of his hopes for this year’s audi-tions, which begin on Saturday, Jan. 31 and continue on Feb. 7 and 14.

“There’s a percep-tion that singers win

this thing,” he said. The fi rst Langley

Has Talent compe-tition was won by pop singer Tiffa-ny Desrosiers. But since then, a dancer (Lauren Tokiwa), an opera singer (Kari Culjat) and a musi-cal duo (A Guy and A Girl) have all taken the top spot.

A rock band and a young dancer have also fi nished in the top three, he noted.

“The talent that wins is not neces-sarily just vocalists. There’s no bias to-ward any one art form or another,” said Luongo. “Excel-lence will be reward-ed in the prizes, no matter what form it takes.”

Once again, the top act will be rewarded with a cash prize of $2,500. Second place wins $1,500 and third takes home $1,000. There are also a number of in-dustry related prize packages for the top performers to choose from.

All of the priz-es have been sup-plied by community sponsors, to whom Luongo offered his thanks.

Asked why the Langley Has Talent committee plans to make 2015 its fi nal year, Luongo said that was always the intent.

“Our plan from the beginning was a fi ve-year commit-ment,” he said.

This will be it, un-less something un-expected happens, he added.

Luongo, who has been instrumental in the show’s pro-duction each year, is satisfi ed that the committee has achieved what it set out to accomplish.

Its goals, he said, were to showcase local talent; to show, through a demon-stration of that tal-ent, that there is a legitimate need for an arts facility in the community; and to prove that, together, Langley’s four Rotary Clubs could engage the community in an effort to see such a facility built.

Luongo is a mem-ber of the Langley Rotary Club, which along with the Al-dergrove, Sunrise and Langley Central

Rotary Clubs, have worked together to present Langley Has Talent since it de-buted in the spring of 2011.

Raising money to help pay for a dedi-cated arts centre has never been among the group’s aims, he said, but this year, they are hoping to put aside a bit of cash that could be used in the event there is any fol-low-up to a commis-sioned study that was carried out last year.

That report, which cost $50,000, split among fi ve par-ticipating groups, (both municipali-ties, Langley’s two universities and the school district) called for a 600- to 650-seat theatre with a range of ame-nities.

The estimated cost of such a theatre, had it been built when the report was released last April, was $30 million to $37 million, exclud-ing land.

Because Langley does not yet have an arts centre, the com-petition has been held annually inside a local church — space for which the LHT committee is greatly appreciative.

Both the semi-fi -nals, which will take place on March 28, and the fi nal com-petition, set for April 18, will be staged once again at Chris-tian Life Assembly.

Whether it’s sing-ers, dancers, come-dians, bands, gym-nasts or jugglers, audition judges are hoping to be wowed by a wide range of talent.

“We’re looking for a really great re-sponse,” said Luon-go.

Registration dead-line is Friday, Jan. 30. Auditions will take place at Kwantlen Polytechnic Univer-sity between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Jan. 31, Feb. 7 and Feb. 14.

An orientation meeting, which is mandatory for se-lected participants, will take place at James Hill Elemen-tary school on Feb. 26. For a registration package and more details, go to lang-leyhastalent.com.

Mayor Jack Froese un-veiled the new Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement Monday night (Jan.26), a bid to deliver on his election promise to overhaul communica-tion with residents in the wake of last year’s bitter battle over a proposal to increase housing density in the semi-rural Brook-swood neighbourhood.

After several public hearings dominated by opponents of the plan, Township council vot-ed it down at an April meeting, overriding the mayor and the only councillor who backed the proposal, Grant Ward (who lost his seat

in the November elec-tion).

Froese told the Mon-day meeting the out-come “made it clear that some Township of Langley residents felt that they’re not being included or adequately consulted during the planning process.”

Froese did not direct-ly refer to the equally heated debate over the proposed Coulter Berry building in Fort Lang-ley around the same time, other than refer-ring to “recent events.”

“As a result, some citizens became con-cerned about any and all development pro-posed for their com-munity, and expressed apprehension about their ability to be

heard during the deci-sion-making process,” the mayor added.

“I strongly believe that there’s a need to improve our public en-gagement process and enhance communi-cation between coun-cil, staff and our resi-dents,” Froese went on to say.

The six-member committee will have three members of council, Froese, Coun-cillor Michelle Spar-row, who is a member of the municipal Com-munity Participation,

Infrastructure, and En-vironment Committee, and Councillor Blair Whitmarsh.

The others include Dale Ball of the Brook-swood Merchants Vil-lage Association, Su-sanna Haas Lyons, who the mayor describes as a “public engagement specialist” and Barbara Sharp, a former City of North Vancouver may-or.

Councillor Kim Rich-ter said the attempt at improving com-munication with the community is off to

an “odd start” because none of the non-coun-cil members are any of the people who lobbied against Brookswood development.

“The sides who were opposed to anything were locked out,” Rich-ter said.

The fi rst scheduled meeting of the task force is set for Wednes-day, Feb. 11 at 3 p.m. in the Salmon River Meet-ing Room at the civic facility at 20338 65 Ave.

The meetings are open to the public and council members.

Current plans call for eight to 10 meetings between now and the

end of June, when the committee is to report back to council.

A statement issued the next day by the mayor’s offi ce said the committee “will review and develop systems for council’s consideration that will better enable the Township to reach out and engage citizens, and to encourage public involvement as the Township devel-ops neighbourhoods that serve the needs of residents now and into the future.”


A bylaw that fi nes smelly marijuana grow-ops $500 a day won fi nal approval from Langley Township council Monday night (Jan. 26).

The vote was unanimous.Township staff estimate there are 600 small le-

gal marijuana grow-ops in Langley operating un-der designated-person production licences.

Those licences were supposed to be phased out in favour of large com-mercial grow-ops in April, but that has been held up by a Supreme Court challenge.

The Township is hop-ing to avoid a legal challenge of its new odour law because it falls within a munic-ipality’s power over nuisances.

A staff report says the Township has a legal opinion that the new regulation “is un-likely to raise a con-stitutional challenge” because it doesn’t ban growers, but only re-

quires fi lters.Council also gave preliminary approval Monday

to a business licence fee that will require the big commercial grow-ops to pay $5,000 a year when they begin operating.

“I think this is the best option that we have [to regulate grow ops]” Councillor Charlie Fox said.

“We’ll see how it goes.”The fee will only apply to the growers, not the

consumers of medicinal marijuana.Businesses that pay licence fees are subject to

inspection by the municipality.The Township is unable to forbid medicinal

grow-ops altogether because they operate un-der federal authority and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), the provincial agency that regulates farmland, has ruled that pot crops are “consistent with the defi nition of farm use … and as such is an allowed use.”

There are at least 19 proposed commercial grow-ops in the Township, most of them located on farmland.

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

A fresh look at how Langley Township en-gages with its residents over planning pro-cesses is welcome, but there are some weak-nesses in the standing commitee appointed by Mayor Jack Froese.

“Recent events, such as the proposal of the new Brook-swood/Fernridge Community Plan, made it clear that some Township residents last year felt they weren’t being includ-ed or adequately consulted during the planning process,” the mayor said Monday. “As a result, some citizens became concerned about any and all development proposed for their community, and expressed apprehension about their ability to be heard during the decision-making process.”

The standing committee includes Froese and two mem-bers of council, rookie Councillor Blair Whitmarsh (who lives in Brookswood) and second-term Councillor Michelle Sparrow, who is interested in fi nding non-traditional ways to engage residents.

It does not include any of the residents who had ma-jor concerns with the process last spring. The mayor says they will be able to speak to the committee, and meaning-ful verbal dialogue is vital. Hearing from people who felt shut out of the process is an extremely useful way to fi nd out where the current system went wrong.

There will be other “engagement” with residents, but its exact nature has not been spelled out. If it is simply via an internet public opinion survey or Twitter, that isn’t good enough.

The inclusion of Dale Ball, a longtime and well-respect-ed Brookswood resident and business owner, and former North Vancouver City Mayor Barbara Sharp, now a Lang-ley resident, helps broaden the committee. Inclusion of “public engagement specialist” Susanna Haas Lyons raises questions, given that public engagement should be a core competency of experienced elected offi cials.

This committee needs to be prepared to listen to resi-dents, and not just impose a new style of “engagement.”

Most of us do not live in fear about when the next “big one” is going to occur.

Yet that doesn’t mean we should go around thinking that a large earthquake event is probably not going to happen to us, so we

don’t really need to prepare for such an occasion.Trying not to live in fear is one thing — not taking steps

to mitigate disaster when it occurs, is foolish.It could be argued that there’s little anyone can do to

protect against a devastating earthquake and a result-ing tsunami. There have been plenty of recent examples, worldwide, that demonstrated the terrible impact of these natural disasters.

Scientists are warning that it’s only a matter of time be-fore the west coast witnesses another major quake, like the one in 1700 that hit the Pacifi c Ocean to the west of Vancouver Island. Yet they cannot accurately predict when it’s going to happen.

That creates a lot of uncertainty — or a lot of compla-cency — and the latter is a battle that emergency offi cials continue to fi ght, from earthquakes to local disasters.

On a small scale, we take precautions in our day-to-day lives (life insurance, seat belts) and in our homes (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors).

We are also encouraged to keep emergency prepared-ness kits close by, in case the larger events occur. These might include temporary shelters (tents), blankets, light-ing, battery-powered radios, food and water. The offi cial line is we should have enough supplies on hand (and ac-cessible in the event of a quake, fi re or fl ood) for 72 hours, but after disasters in relatively well-off nations, that esti-mate has gone up, given that it could take days for emer-gency and government personnel to open roads and get help convoys rolling.

To a great extent, we’re on our own in a disaster and at the mercy of our neighbours if we are not. It behooves us to take precautions — just in case.

We can then shed the fear of the unknown and continue to enjoy where we live, knowing that when the big one comes, we have a fi ghting chance.

I want scores, standings on late night sport report

I like to watch Sports Centre be-fore I go to bed, so I can get the up-to-date scores, standings and highlights of the day. All I want is some mindless entertainment to send me off to sleep.

The other night I turned it on and the fi rst story was about Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard being asked by a male reporter to twirl around in her cute pink ten-nis outfi t. Supposedly some folks think these outfi ts are a sexist ploy to get men to watch women’s tennis.

The next story was about the New En-gland Patriots using defl ated balls in their playoff game. Supposedly, in cold weather, the under-infl ated ball is easier to pass, catch and kick.

Fifteen minutes into the show and I hadn’t seen one score or anyone knocked down. But I did form some opinions.

The New England quarterback has been playing football at some level since he was seven years old and yet he says he never noticed a difference in the weight of the ball. That’s like Sidney Crosby saying he didn’t notice his stick was two feet shorter. That ball is his life, I was surprised his ex-pensive designer jeans didn’t catch on fi re.

Their coach says he was too busy coach-ing the game and he leaves those details to his equipment staff. So it looks like the least paid, most expendable guy on the team, the equipment guy, is going to get the blame. But I think I can defend him.

Many times my kids would run to me and ask me to infl ate a football or soccer ball. I would get the pump and then start looking for the little infl ation needle to stick in the ball. I would rummage through my shop,

my garage, the tool box in the car and the drawer in the microwave stand.

Eventually, out of frustration, I would jump in the truck and drive to the local hardware store and buy another one. I would infl ate the ball, even though the kids had moved on to something else, and leave the needle in the pump for next time. But like socks in the dry-er, it always disappeared.

Now let’s go to that stadium a half hour before the game. The equipment guy is scrambling trying to fi nd his infl a-tion needle, tearing the equipment room apart. No use thinking about a run to the hardware store because everyone in town is either at the game or at home watching it on TV.

The kickoff nears and he thinks, “The coach will be too busy coaching and that dumb jock wouldn’t notice if I handed him a watermelon.”

So maybe everyone is telling the truth. It was an innocent accident after all. The fact that there is millions of dollars at stake probably isn’t even an issue.

As for the twirling controversy, if they want men to watch women’s tennis, they have to leave them in the skimpy outfi ts but they have to remove the nets. When one girl gets the tennis ball, she has to run the full length of the court then toss the ball into a little basket or fi re it into a goal while the other girl tries to tackle her. Then men will watch women’s tennis.

Just give me the scores and show me the highlights. At 11 p.m., I shouldn’t be asked to settle controversies for millionaires. At least that’s what McGregor says.

Will more referenda follow?Editor: We are about to have a referendum for the fi rst

specifi c tax for specifi c purposes: the 2015 Metro Vancou-ver Congestion Improvement Tax.

Now if the referendum results are positive, I have some predictions. The fl oodgates will open, because politicians have learned a new way to market new tax sources.

Be ready for some new “worthy cause” referenda.They could include the following:2016: Education Class Size Reduction Tax2017: Health Wait Time Reduction Tax2018: Policing Enhancement Tax

2019: Poverty Reduction Tax2020: Affordable Housing Tax2021: Utility Infrastructure Replacement Tax2022: [Insert popular issue here] TaxLet’s not forget the general tax revenue fund. It will con-

tinue to exist, but will be left for whimsical projects.This referendum is about bigger issues than just trans-

portation. It is a test. Be aware of the implications of vot-ing yes.

Site C good news

Generous guysEditor: I want to thank the two generous guys who

made my night. I am a skateboarder and was skating in front of my house, when a car came and drove over my board and snapped it in half.

I was pretty sad, as I had just bought new wheels and bearings. About two hours later, my doorbell rang. It was the driver and his buddy delivering a brand new skateboard for me. I never got to say thank you, as I was asleep at the time.

I hope they read this and realize that they made my night. That was such a generous and kind thing to do. I will never forget this.

Editor: It is reported that there are approximately 22,000 stray cats in the Langley area. This refl ects upon all of us, as we are responsible for the abject misery many endure. It is obvious they must kill animals and birds for sustenance. They also breed incessantly and produce litters of unwanted kittens constantly.

Cat owners should be asked to pay a licence fee. (I own cats, by the way.) And the owners of these cats should be forced to produce proof that their animals are neutered, or pay a higher fee.

If they are in the kitten business, they should be li-cenced as a business venture, with assurances that the kittens produced will fi nd loving homes. The same reg-ulation should apply to puppy mills.

MIKE HARVEY,LANGLEY Theft of tools is really stooping low

Editor: It was a dark and stormy day and the two of us had worked all day in it, and were soaking wet. We were glad to be packing up and heading back to the shop but had one quick stop to make. One of the young guys was having a bad day, so I decided to pick up a Kinder Surprise to cheer him up, as he is a kid at heart himself.

While turning onto Highway 10, the tailgate fl opped down with tools and containers full of everything imag-inable cascading out the back. Looking out the rear view mirror, I could see the debris everywhere and pulled into the center median. We both jumped out of the truck at the same time and ran back to clean up the mess.

Looking back up the road I could see my toolbox lying there off to the side of the centre lane. As I made my way back up the road to fetch it, cars were slowing down to go around it. Then this one car stopped, the passenger door

opened, this guy gets out, throws my tool box into the car and takes off.

Bang! it hits me: that’s all my hand tools for work. Tools, some old, some new — like friends recognizable by all their little imperfections with memories attached to each one. Obviously this guy has no idea of right or wrong. To steal a worker’s tools is the lowest of the low. My father taught me that when I was a young boy.

“You’re taking away a man’s livelihood,” he would say. My thanks to everyone who slowed down to give us a

chance to get the mess cleaned up. As for the fool who took my tools — Karma, buddy. I hope you smash your thumb with my hammer, assuming you even know what it’s for.

GREG HOLMES,LANGLEY

Let’s licence cats

Editor: It was good news to hear Premier Christy Clark announce that the province was going ahead with the Site C project and even more wonderful that BC Hydro President CEO Jessica McDonald is planning to start the project this summer on the Peace River. Ku-dos to both women for being intelligent forward think-ers, who are looking to the future of this province.

This will not only give the province more opportunity to supply its residences with electricity, but to also to sell it for profi t to our neighbours. Perhaps it is wishful thinking on my part, but maybe the provincial govern-ment would consider reducing some of the hefty taxes we already pay if they had another resource coming in to fi ll their coffers.

Better yet, it gives the young people of B.C. good-pay-ing jobs. It opens the door to job opportunities that are not found in the Lower Mainland. People who struggle to fi nd jobs and housing in the Lower Mainland can move north and work to build a strong and resourceful community that everyone can enjoy.

Further business development comes from the growth of these types of communities. It’s an opportu-nity for our sons and daughters to stay in B.C. and not have to leave to fi nd better-paying jobs in Alberta or Ontario. I applaud the decision to move ahead.

An Abbotsford mother and sons who found sanctuary in the Walnut Grove Luther-an Church in Langley say they were ordered deported by a judge who didn’t have all the facts.

In his written decision order-ing Marianna Juhasz and sons Patrik and Tamas returned to their native Hungary, Federal Court Judge Robert L. Barnes said the trio failed to provide evidence that would prove their claim of physical abuse by her ex-husband.

In Barnes’ Nov. 10 decision, provided to The Times by the court, the judge said it was “particularly troubling that the record before me fails to in-clude a copy of the Hungarian child services decision … [that] references the allegations of child abuse that were central to the application for humanitari-an and compassionate relief.”

The judge also said that Mar-ianna Juhasz “did not produce any medical information to cor-roborate her allegations of an alleged violent assault in June 2010” and went on to state that “I draw an adverse inference from this failure and I conclude that Ms. Juhasz was not assault-ed as she alleged.”

The Juhasz family sought sanctuary at the Langley church on Nov. 30 after the ruling.

On Thursday, Jan. 22, Juhasz and her son Patrik told The Times they have Hungarian-lan-guage documentation that sup-ports their claims and are in the process of getting it translated.

“I have everything.” Marianna Juhasz said.

The mother and son showed a Times reporter a two-inch-thick sheaf of documents, most of it in Hungarian, that they said includes reports by police and child welfare authorities which back their version of events.

Among the documents was an English-language report from the Pal Bugat hospital in the town of Gyöngyös, Hunga-ry that states Marianna Juhasz was treated for an injury to one arm around the time of the al-

leged violent assault.

The report d e s c r i b e d her arm as “bruised and s e n s i t i v e ” and said it was not an accident, but infl icted “by a person” who was not iden-tifi ed.

M a r i a n n a Juhasz told The Times she was afraid to name her husband as the attacker at the time.

She fl ed H u n g a r y with her sons shortly after-wards.

Patrik Ju-hasz said ad-ditional doc-uments that support their version of events have also been lo-cated.

“We’re get-ting more from Hungary, from my grand-ma,” he told The Times.

The family applied to stay in Canada on humanitarian grounds shortly after they ar-rived in Toronto four years ago, saying they fl ed Hungary because Tamas, the youngest son, was being abused by his father.

One of the English-language documents provided by the family to The Times refers to the father “slapping” Tamas.

The Barnes decision doesn’t dispute the claim the son suf-fered abuse, but concludes that “concerns about Tamas’ psy-chological health are fully ad-dressed.”

“There is no evidence that Tamas will be forced to see his father or that the Hungarian child welfare authorities would be indifferent to his interests if visitation issues were to arise,”

Barnes wrote.Marianna Juhasz said she

doesn’t believe the authorities in Hungary will be able to pro-tect her or her sons if they are forced to go back.

Walnut Grove Lutheran Church is also providing sanctuary to Langley resident José Figueroa, who has lived at the church since October of 2013 after he was ordered deported back to his native El Salvador.

Figueroa, a married father of three Canadian-born children, was ordered expelled under a zero-tolerance law that consid-ers a Salvadorian political party he was involved with to be a ter-rorist group — even though the party, the Farabundo Martí Na-tional Liberation Front (FMLN), is not on any Canadian terrorist list, and is now the democrati-cally elected government of El Salvador.

Deportation order madewithout full information

Marianna Juhasz and her son Patrik say they have the documents needed to prove physical abuse by Marianna’s husband caused them to fl ee Hungary. The documents are in the process of being translat-ed into English. The Juhasz family is taking refuge in a Walnut Grove church after being ordered deported in November.

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

The City of Langley will host an open house with two distinct purposes on Wednesday, Feb. 4.

The fi rst is to offer residents a chance to look over the municipality’s 2015 draft fi nancial plan, which includes a proposed property tax increase.

The open house, which will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 4 from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Douglas Recreation Centre, will also feature a display of new design concepts for Buckley Park and Penzer Park.

“In order to be effective, municipal gov-ernments require involvement from the community,” said Darrin Leite, director of corporate services at the City of Langley.

“Feedback from our community mem-bers strengthens the quality of policy making, programs and service delivery, so we encourage everyone to come out and

share their thoughts and ideas on these two important subjects.”

The 2015 fi nancial plan currently has a gap of $670,075 between total revenues and planned expenditures, which would equate to a 2.95 per cent increase in prop-erty taxes to balance the budget.

Including utility rate increases, the im-pact on an average multi-family home (assessed at $200,728) would be a de-crease of 2.90 per cent or ($37) and an average single family home (assessed at $486,931) would see an increase of 2.30 per cent or $63.

An initial Buckley-Penzer parks public input session was held last November. The event was followed by an online survey to collect resident feedback on design options and priorities for vari-ous parks amenities. The upcoming Feb. 4 open house will showcase the initial concepts based on that feedback. Final

plans are subject to budget and council approval.

“We had great public input in the fall, with more than 130 residents providing feedback on their priorities for this un-derutilized park space,” said Rick Bomhof, City of Langley director of engineering, parks and environment.

“We hope to continue with that mo-mentum in taking the design comments back to the public and user groups for fi ne tuning.”

Douglas Recreation Centre is located at 20550 Douglas Cres. in the City of Langley.

Coffee and tea will be served. For more information about the devel-

opment of Buckley Park and Penzer Park, please contact the City of Langley engi-neering department at 604-514-2997.

For more information about the 2015 fi -nancial plan, please call the City’s fi nance department at 604-514-2800.

Darrin Leite will present the 2015 Langley City fi nancial plan at an open house on Wednesday.

KURT LANGMANNBlack Press

Langley Township fi refi ghters joined the large crowd that turned out for the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s fund-raising Investors Group Walk for Memories, Sunday, Jan. 25 at Al-dergrove Athletic Park.

Local politicians such as MLA Rich Coleman, Township Mayor Jack Froese and Councillor Charlie Fox helped this year’s walk honourees, Susan and Boyd Wylie, cut the start ribbon. The participants then followed the skirl of the bagpiper as they set off

in the walk around the park.

Both Susan and Boyd Wylie, married since 1978, have experienced the loss of their moth-ers to Alzheimer’s dis-ease.

Boyd fi rst connected with the Alzheimer So-ciety of B.C. in 2008 for information to better understand his moth-er’s diagnosis.

He and Susan lat-er became founding members of an adult kids’ support group in Langley.

They both credit at-tending support groups as allowing them to

learn more about the disease and to process their feelings.

Both Susan and Boyd have extensive knowl-edge of dementia and provide endless em-pathy and support to others whose lives are impacted by dementia. They also volunteer at numerous local events by distributing infor-mation.

Participants in the walk here included Wes and Dawn Rous-seau of Aldergrove, who were joined by 15 family members and friends in their Team Fyfe, who raised $615

in the name of Dawn’s father Jack Fyfe and his late sister, who both suffered the devastat-ing disease.

Dawn said her father Jack, now 76, has been battling dementia for

eight years and is still living at home in Lang-ley-Surrey where his wife provides his care.

“Our goal was $500 this year and we sur-passed that so next year we’re aiming for

$1,000 raised,” said Dawn.

Top fundraisers were Terry Metcalfe, $2,285 with 34 sponsors; Gus Hartl, $1,203 with 17 sponsors; Serena Con-lon, $1,050 with 15

sponsors; Dianne Pidli-secky, $810 with 15 sponsors; and Friend of the Alzheimer Soci-ety of B.C., $740 with 13 sponsors.

A former Top Ten most wanted car thief who was is well known in Langley has been arrested again in Surrey by the Integrated Municipal Auto Crime Team (IMPACT).

On Jan. 13, IMPACT investigators allegedly arrested Richard James Mantler, 43, of no fi xed address, in a stolen Ford F150 in Surrey.

Police had identifi ed the stolen vehicle by the licence plate being associated to a theft and assault, three shoplifting incidents, theft of liquor from a liquor store, and a hit and run collision, said IMPACT.

When arrested, Mantler had two outstanding warrants, one for as-sault in Surrey and for breaching his probation in Langley.

In November 2013, he was sen-tenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty to dangerous op-

eration of a mo-tor vehicle and obstruction. The charges relate to an incident that took place in Langley City on July 25, when he drove a stolen car directly into a police vehicle.

“Chronic of-fenders such as Mantler are a top priority for

our investigators,” says Cpl. Rob Stephenson, spokesperson for IM-PACT.

A bullet was found on the school grounds of R.C. Garnett Elementary last Wednesday morning (Jan. 21).

The live round was discov-ered by Langley’s own Valley Mom blogger and Langley Times columnist Kristyl Clark. She was dropping off her youngest daughter at Five Star Learning Centre preschool — which is connected to R.C. Garnett — when she made the scary dis-covery.

“I found it on the ramp lead-ing into the preschool,” said Clark.

“I brought it into the teacher and she brought it to the offi ce,” said Clark.

“It is now with the school liai-son offi cer.”

The bullet appears to be for a .22 rifl e.

Langley RCMP said the princi-pal called them and police have since picked up the bullet and destroyed it.

Cpl. Holly Marks said it isn’t that common to get calls from schools reporting live rounds found on school grounds. But she remarked that the school

did all the right things and con-tacted police right away.

There were no reports of any gunfi re or guns in the area the evening prior, said Marks.

When the B.C. gov-ernment last resort-ed to shooting wolves from helicopters in the 1980s, an emotional public outcry forced a retreat.

In the B.C. tradition, sensation-seeking ur-ban media and pro-testers led the way. An outraged reporter named Pamela Mar-tin marched a BCTV crew off the road near Fort St. John to expose this presumed crime against nature. With a metre of snow and temperatures dipping to -40, they didn’t get far, but public sen-timent was aroused enough for politicians to overrule wildlife bi-ologists.

This winter, while snow reveals the wolves’ location from the air, the choppers and rifl es are out again. And my heart goes out to the biologists and First Nations hunters who face this grim task.

The South Selkirk mountain caribou herd, which ranges be-tween B.C., Idaho and Washington, has been the target of intensive conservation efforts by governments on both sides of the border. Six of the remaining 18 an-imals now wear radio collars. There were 46 in 2009, only 27 by 2012, and wolves have killed two more since last spring.

Targeted hunting and trapping haven’t been suffi cient, so up to 24 grey wolves are to be shot from the air before the snow melts.

There are seven car-

ibou herds in the South Peace, with the Graham herd the largest at about 700. It’s the control group, left to fend for itself as a measure of wolf removal for the rest. The Burnt Pine herd is down to one bull, effectively extinct. The province and Trea-ty 8 First Nations are working on a plan to kill 120-160 wolves in that region.

It’s long been ac-cepted that resource roads, logging and recreational trail use have increased herd disruption and pred-ator access through what would otherwise be seamless bush and deep snow.

Snowmobiles and even back-country ski-ers can shift the bal-ance. Smithers-area outdoor enthusiasts are currently being urged to stay away

from the Telk-wa Mountains, where the car-ibou herd is down to fewer than 20 an-imals. Local hunting and s n o w m o b i l e clubs have ob-served a ban on motorized trav-el since 2003, but of course

there will always be yahoos who chase an-imals for fun.

A mountain caribou recovery plan was im-plemented in 2007, protecting 2.2 million hectares from logging and road-building, in-cluding most of the core habitat of the South Selkirk herd. The Nature Conservancy of Canada bought 550 square kilometres in that region to protect habitat.

Strategies include transplanting animals from healthier to weak-er herds to increase genetic diversity, and capturing and penning

females with young calves to keep them from being picked off by wolves.

The B.C. grey wolf population averag-es around 8,500, with managed hunting and trapping to protect live-stock while preserving the wolf as apex pred-ator in most of its wide range.

This context is sel-dom reported by Van-couver media, which mostly sees its role not as explaining issues but rather embarrass-ing whatever political party is in power, and providing an uncrit-ical platform for the s t o p - l o g g i n g - m i n -ing-energy crowd, which is seen as popu-lar with urban viewers.

Remember the spot-ted owl, with the fringe of its range extending into southern B.C.? Our branch-plant enviros marketed that one for years. Its core habitat is Washington and Ore-gon, where many saw-mills were shuttered to “save” them.

Now they’re shooting invasive barred owls, which have emerged as a greater threat to spot-ted owls than logging. Context is important.

I suppose we’ll nev-er know what differ-ence the 1980s wolf kill would have made if it hadn’t been shout-ed down for TV ratings and urban enviro-do-nations.

A Boys and Girls Club of South Coast BC program in Langley, which focuses on physical ac-tivities, nutritious snacks and healthy cooking for children has received a $10,000 grant from Westminster Savings Credit Union.

The after-school Active Liv-ing Program, running Septem-ber through June on weekdays, offers a range of structured and unstructured activities to increase physical activity, pro-mote participation and fi tness, and develop social and inter-personal skills. It operates from a facility adjacent to Douglas Park Elementary.

“As adults, we know that we’re meant to eat well and be physically active, and help-ing kids make positive choices part of their daily habits is the best way to set them up for a healthy life,” said Carolyn Tuck-well, President and CEO, Boys

and Girls Clubs of South Coast BC. “We can’t run our programs without support from organiza-tions like Westminster Savings. Thank you for helping us build a community of amazing kids.”

According to the 2014 Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card, only seven per cent of chil-dren aged fi ve to 11 and four per cent of those aged 12 to 17 are meeting the recommended daily guideline for physical fi tness of at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity activity.

The Langley club offers chil-dren access to organized sports such as fl oor hockey, ice hock-ey, baseball and soccer. Every day games, including dodgeball and freeze tag, are played in the gyms and activities such as yoga and dance are held regu-larly. Supervised trips to near-by parks are also part of the program to encourage outdoor physical activity.

“At Westminster Savings, we’re committed to helping our members achieve better bal-ance — and not just fi nancially,” said Gavin Toy, president and CEO of Westminster Savings. “We know that providing op-portunities for active living can create long-term, life changing impact and set the foundation for future success and healthy habits. By supporting these types of initiatives, we’re help-ing to build strong communities that are healthier and more in-clusive places to live.”

Westminster Savings is sup-porting the Active Living Pro-gram as part of Project Better Balance, a community invest-ment program to help individ-uals and families achieve better balance in their lives by provid-ing greater access for participa-tion in the arts and active liv-ing. For more information, see wscu.com/community.

JEFF NAGELBlack Press

Thousands of B.C. drivers are being frozen out of driver’s li-cence or car insurance renewals because they refused or neglect-ed to pay bridge tolls.

ICBC acts as the enforcement mechanism and it currently has refuse-to-issue notices on fi le against 25,000 drivers for failing to pay their Port Mann Bridge tolls and 17,000 for unpaid tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge.

By comparison, ICBC is also blocking 9,300 parents for failing to make child support payments and 4,100 TransLink fare evaders who haven’t paid their tickets.

The 25,000 drivers barred by ICBC for Port Mann tolls is an all-time high and has been as low as 10,000 at other times, according to the Transportation Investment Corp., which manages the bridge.

Maple Ridge motorcyclist Stac-ey (Stella) Murdoch argues it’s too heavy handed for ICBC to deny people the ability to drive with-out any option to gradually repay the debt over time.

“When you do that to some-body you limit what they can do,” she said.

“People get into these situa-tions but we have to give them a way to get out.”

Murdoch started the Facebook page “Golden Ears Bridge Toll Nightmares” after her husband was blocked from renewing in-surance until he paid $8,000 in bridge tolls, some of which he be-lieved were charged in error.

They rarely cross the bridge now because neither works in Langley anymore.

The couple is also selling their Maple Ridge house, after which they’ll pay off the outstanding tolls.

Murdoch said she’s surprised by how many other people are in the same plight.

“I bet there are a lot of people out there driving around without driver’s licences.”

She also argues tolls unfairly hit people who live near the two toll bridges and work on the other side of the Fraser River.

“I’m not saying bridges

shouldn’t be tolled. But why are people in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows specifi cally being (sad-dled) with this bill?” she asked.

“Everybody in the Low-er Mainland should be tolled on every single bridge.”

TI Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson insists the system to enforce toll payment is fair.

He said the “vast majority” of Port Mann bridge users pay their tolls on time, many of them by automatic pre-authorized pay-ment through their TReO bridge tolling account.

A Refuse to Issue notice goes to ICBC only if a driver owes more than $25 and is 90 days overdue.

“Drivers receive at least three notifi cations requesting payment before being designated Refuse to Issue,” he said.

Johnson said 80 to 85 per cent of users pay after being notifi ed and most owe relatively small amounts of less than $100.

Interest charges of 1.5 per cent a month (19 per cent annually) are add-ed to unpaid Port Mann tolls. TransLink adds two per cent interest a month to unpaid Golden Ears Bridge tolls.

While ICBC’s monopoly on mandatory basic in-surance makes it an ef-fective stick against B.C. toll evaders, it doesn’t have the same power

over out-of-province motorists.But Johnson said TReO still gets

“hundreds of payments” through its website or walk-in centres every month from drivers from elsewhere in Canada or the U.S.

The electronic tolling camer-as capture the licence plates of non-B.C. vehicles and invoices are mailed out to those who don’t pay on time.

“More than 150,000 invoices have been sent to date and 80 per cent make payment on receiving their bill.”

About $3 million in total Port Mann tolls are currently unpaid

— twice as much as in the fall of 2013 — and the 25,000 drivers who owe that are mostly unregis-tered, meaning they are billed by mail, with an extra $2.30 licence plate processing charge added to each $3 toll.

TransLink offi cials were un-able to comment on Golden Ears Bridge toll enforcement, but said they are having more success in compelling transit fare evaders to pay their fi nes since the province provided new powers in 2012.

In addition to denial of insur-ance or licences through ICBC, TransLink can also send unpaid fi nes to collection agencies.

Revenue from transit fi nes was up 25 per cent in 2014 from the previous year as of the end of No-vember, according to spokesper-son Cheryl Ziola.

TransLink had collected $1.8 million in fi nes in 2014 as of Nov. 30, compared to $1.4 million in all of 2013.

Fare evasion fi nes start at $173 but climb to $213 after six months and $273 if they’re unpaid after a year.

The best of both worlds; affordability and accessibility.Rising up from the core of a vibrant

community are two elegant towers created by the reputable Bosa Proper-ties. The transit-friendly neighborhood offers an array of places to shop, eat, learn, and play, making the two Uptown towers the pinnacle of both luxury and convenience.

Uptown2 is located on the cusp of the Coquitlam border just before Burnaby and close to Vancouver – it’s

the best of both worlds; the affordably of living in a blossoming community with an already bustling city mere minutes away. Nearby is Simon Fraser University, Douglas College and BCIT, plenty of shops at Lougheed Mall to satisfy a Saturday afternoon shopping spree, and within ten minutes, is Como Lake and Burnaby Mountain, offering over 30 parks to explore, hike and bike.

Once again, Bosa Properties has created a well-loved community by centralizing the building within a great urban village, with plenty of access to amenities by foot or transit.

“The neighborhood around Uptown is emerging,” says Uptown2 Sales Manager, Alice Wang. “At Uptown’s base will be a large grocer - a Sobey’s or subsidiary of Sobey’s. She adds when it comes to the supply of condos

that exist, none are new, making the emergence of the Uptown towers a welcoming sight for residence.

Right from the doorstep, Uptown2 offers the opportunity to live your peak life. Inside is a 5,000 square-foot exclusive wellness pavilion, complete with a yoga studio, outdoor courtyard, and tness centre, including infrared sauna and steam room.

Each home has oorplans that maximize every square foot of space, providing a feeling of clutter-free calm and plenty of room for entertain-ing guests.

“Also, windows in some of the kitchens,” says Wang on some of the features that make Uptown stand out. “This is not typically found in highrise condos – enjoy the view while you cook.”

The sleek and spacious kitchens follow an L-shaped design, allowing for generous counter space. Contem-porary wood-grain cabinets, imported marble backsplash, quartz counters, and soft-close doors compliment the modernized environment.

With premium appliances and time-less interiors, no detail is too small to help ensure that Uptown2 owners feel a sense of ease and upscale living.

The projected date of completion for the towers is early 2017 and Up-town2 is now selling.

Visit the sales centre at 581 Clarke Road, Coquitlam, or visit the website for more details: bosaproperties.com/uptown2/

A beautiful, new concrete high-rise is move-in ready in New Westminster, off ering million-dollar views at a fraction of the price.

Rising up from the banks of the Fraser River, Northbank by Ballenas features stunning sights and an enjoyable neighboring area with plenty to see and do. Stroll to nearby shopping, parks and river walkways, and enjoy quick access to downtown Vancouver without the need to cross a bridge. Along the riverfront in the geographic centre of Metro Vancouver, New West is a bustling neighborhood that captures the ease and convenience of urban living, mixed with the charm of a Victorian-era environment.

Historic Columbia Street off ers funky retail options next door to retailers featuring the staple products needed everyday. Explore the local markets in Downtown New Westminster, hop on a bike to explore nearby trails and Albert Crescent Park, or stop for a coff ee before heading out for a day in the city. A brand new elementary school is located two blocks away. Northbank’s convenient location

off ers easy access to major arterial roads and highway one, and is just two blocks from the SkyTrain station.

With Northbank, life is within reach and waiting to happen from the moment you step out your door.

“Amazing views, spacious kitchens with top of the line appliances and unmatched pricing,” says Northbank Sales Manager, Barbara Hughes on some of the home’s main features. “It’s a boutique sized building with only six homes per fl oor, great views, and solid construction with a high attention to detail unmatched by most developers.”

Take advantage of Northbank’s smart, usable space, with expansive patios, open fl oor plans and spacious areas to cook and entertain. Kitchens come equipped with stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage options. Every dining room fi ts a six-person table with comfortable living space as well, while every bedroom fi ts a queen bed and side tables. One-bedroom homes start at $256,900, and two-bedrooms are

selling from $339,900.Enjoy the sunshine streaming

through the fl oor-to-ceiling windows on a beautiful summer day, or cozy up and enjoy a good book while the rain streaks down the glass outside. Between the Fraser River and the distant snowcapped mountain ranges along the horizon, Northbank’s unobstructed views from Golden Ears to Vancouver Island allow for a continuously changing backdrop in an ever-growing city.

Project is ready to move into and address is 125 Columbia St. Visit northbank.ca for more information.

A deal has been struck that will provide more than the minimum required amount of parking in one section of a developing Lang-ley neighbourhood that is said to suffer from a shortage of vehicle spaces.

The agreement, which covers 24 proposed row house and semi-de-tached housing units in the 20900 block of 80 and 80A Avenues in the Yorkson area, increases the num-ber of parking spaces by 50 per cent over the minimum to provide three to four parking units for each unit, plus shared visitor parking and street parking.

The Ambiance Projects Ltd. de-sign was presented at a Jan. 12 pub-lic hearing.

In response to council questions, Ramin Seifi , the Township general manager of engineering and com-munity development, indicated the Ambiance development will likely not be the last Yorkson project to

provide more than the minimum parking allotment.

Seifi said staff have been hold-ing “discussions with various pro-ponents” about ways to increase parking spaces.

Buyers of the houses will also be required to make a legally bind-ing promise that their garages will only be used for vehicles, an ap-parent response to a staff report that found some of the shortage of parking in Yorkson was because some garages were being used for everything but storing cars and trucks.

Councillor David Davis called the proposal “a step in the right direc-tion.”

Councillor Charlie Fox said the new standards would provide “am-ple” parking.

Some residents of the Yorkson area have been lobbying council to add more parking to already-built neighbourhoods, saying a shortage of available spaces is forcing visi-tors to park an excessive distance

from their homes.For the last two years, council

has agreed to ease parking ticket writing in South Yorkson over the Christmas holiday to allow vehicles in the no-parking areas of 80 Ave-nue near 210 Street.

Traffi c engineering staff have pro-posed a temporary fi x that would create 12 new on-street parking stalls at 212 Street and 80 Avenue.

The suggestion was outlined in a staff report to council that warned it would only be an interim solu-

tion because the area “is part of a future road realignment.”

The $50,000 cost of the spots has been added to a list of possible Township construction projects to be considered for approval by council in 2015.

Extra parking for Yorkson project

This Yorkson housing development will have 50 per cent more parking than required under Township regula-tions.

Willoughby Elementary is home to one of the fi rst Early Years Cen-tres in B.C.

This centre supports families with children aged 0-6, offering a variety of programs and services all under one roof.

Langley Township is one of only 12 B.C. communities selected to try this pilot concept.

Sites were chosen by a cross-min-istry selection panel that included representatives from the minis-tries of Children and Family De-velopment, Education, and Health. The early years centres are the fi rst step of the eight year provin-cial strategy to improve accessi-bility, affordability and quality of early years programs and services.

Willoughby Elementary, on 200 St. and 80 Ave., is in an area that has a large number of families and is under rapid development, serv-ing a high number of children ages 0-5 and their family.

“The goal is creating relation-ships with parents and to pre-vent vulnerability when they are young,” said Alicia Stark, the Early Years Centre co-ordinator.

“As the Willoughby communi-ty grows at such a rapid rate, we believe this location provides the potential to reduce children’s de-velopmental vulnerabilities by in-creasing access to support services and increasing access to advice, assessments and referrals for par-

ents of young children,” said Stark.The Willoughby Early Years Cen-

tre opened its doors back in No-vember.

The centre is home to Strong Start, Willoughby Junction Early

Years Preschool, Infant Develop-ment Play Group, Spanish Parent-ing Program – Family Time, Family Place North (formally located at Walnut Grove Community Centre), Mental Health and Township of

Langley recreation programs. Parents in the area already are

well aware of the Strong Start program that is full every morn-ing. The afternoon Family Time is a similar drop-in program and is

also fi lling up.Stark said the biggest change at

this centre is bringing all the ser-vices under one roof.

“The whole purpose of the cen-tre is to bring services to the com-munity instead of the community going out to fi nd the services,” said Stark.

It means if a child is experi-encing development issues, the parent can work with staff at the centre, who can help with a referal to the proper services, whether it be infant development or mental health. Children can be experienc-ing anxiety or behaviour issues, that can be addressed early and before they get to Kindergarten.

“Early intervention is key to beating vulnerability in children,” she said. The teachers at the var-ious groups offer the knowledge and resources. Parents can come to them with concerns about their children.

“We are hear to help the whole family unit,” she said.

The vulnerable population of young children has grown in Wil-loughby, and even in affl uent areas like Fort Langley, Stark said.

It can translate to behavioural, emotional and developmental milestones not being met if early intervention and help isn’t found.

A grand opening event is planned for Jan. 31, from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. There will be face painting and a bouncy castle along with crafts and other fun for the kids.

New Willoughby centre one of only 12 in B.C.

Willoughby Elementary is one of 12 locations across the province which has been chosen to house an Early Years Centres. A grand opening will be held on Saturday (Jan. 31).

A local company has come up big for North Shore Rescue.

Langley’s Marcon Homes donated $75,000 to the wil-derness rescue organiza-tion last week (Jan. 22).

“Our goal is to help an or-ganization that plays a key role in ensuring the safety

of those taking part in an active lifestyle in North Vancouver,” said Marco Paolella, Marcon’s presi-dent.

“We’ve sold an active lifestyle to many of our home buyers on the North Shore over the years and now it’s time to give back.”

The donations equals out to $1,000 per new condo-minium being built as part of Mill House, a four-storey development close to the mountains, the backyard playground for the city’s outdoor adventurists.

North Shore Rescue is trying to raise $6 million

this year for the Tim Jones Legacy Fund.

“Tim Jones dedicated his life to helping others in need. He was the backbone of NSR and we want to help ensure his lifelong work continues and support the volunteers of NSR because we are so grateful for the

lifesaving work they per-form,” Paolella said.

Paolella is hoping other buyers, as well as develop-ers, will be inspired by this initiative.

“This is the fi rst time we’ve been supported by the real estate industry,” said Mike Danks, the North

Shore Rescue team leader.“It’s exciting because

we hope it will encourage others to step up and to understand the value in donating to a growing and essential service organiza-tion largely dependent on public funding and volun-teers.”

Marcon donates $75,000 to North Shore Rescue

The provincial gover-ment’s announcement that it has reached a formal agreement with the federal govern-ment to introduce the BC Training and Edu-cation Savings Grant is good news for families looking to start sav-

ing for their children’s post-secondary educa-tion.

“Families with young kids know it’s hard to start saving for their children’s universi-ty education — yet it’s so critical to begin the savings process

as early as possible,” said David Lanphear, vice president of retail banking at Envision Fi-nancial.

“Having a means to jumpstart that savings behaviour with pro-grams like the BCTES is a great start toward

what is hopefully a long-term behaviour.”

The provincial gov-ernment’s BCTES is a one-time grant of $1,200 to eligible chil-dren to help their fam-ilies plan and save ear-ly for post-secondary education or training

programs. The grant is available

to families whose chil-dren were born in 2007 or after and are bene-fi ciaries of a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) with one of the participating fi nancial institutions.

With the formal agreement signed be-tween the federal and provincial government, Envision Financial along with other banks and credit unions will work to ensure the program is available in August 2015.

Good news for families with young

children

And they are off! Runners take off at the starting line of the Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) 10-km race on Sunday at Williams Park. Close to 200 participants took part in the 5-km and 10-km races.


The Trinity Western Spartans have won nine straight match-es after taking a pair of the UBC Thunderbirds.

The Spartans — ranked third in the country — won 3-1 (26-28,25-19,29-27,25-19) on Friday and 3-0 (27-25,25-20,25-17) on Saturday at UBC’s War Memori-al Gymnasium. The T-Birds are ranked eighth in the country.

TWU improved to 16-4 and have qualifi ed for the Canada West playoffs.

“The fi rst two sets were a little sloppy and a little greasy,” said Spartans coach Ben Josephson, following the second match.

“They made some nice adjust-ments, but in the second set, our offence started clicking and then we started clamping down on a couple of things.

“Overall, I thought the guys won the greasy sets and then played really clean and smooth in the third set.”

The Spartans trailed 13-11 in the third set before scoring 14 of the fi nal 18 points to complete the sweep.

Nick Del Bianco led the team with 14 kills while Branden Schmidt had eight blocks, Tyler Koslowsky had seven digs and Adam Schriemer delivered a pair of service aces.

Del Bianco and Ryan Sclat-er led the attack the fi rst night with 16 and 15 kills, respective-ly, while Daniel Grant had 11 blocks.

A big key in the win was 11 service aces as Sclater, Del Bi-anco and Schmidt had three apiece and Schriemer had a pair.

•••The Trinity Western Spartans

recovered from a tough fi ve-set loss the fi rst night — which snapped an 11-game winning streak — by sweeping the UBC Thunderbirds in the rematch in Canada West women’s volley-ball action at UBC’s War Memo-rial Gymnasium.

The fi fth-ranked Spartans (15-5) have qualifi ed for the Canada West playoffs and sit one game back of conference co-leaders Alberta and UBC Okanagan

with four games to play.Sophie Carpentier had 16 kills

and fi ve digs to lead TWU while Alicia Perrin had 10 kills, four digs and four blocks.

The Spartans won their match by scores of 25-13, 25-20 and 25-18.

UBC’s fi ve-set victory the night before saw the teams trade the fi rst two sets by identical 25-19 scores, the Thunderbirds won the third set 25-17 before TWU stayed alive with a marathon 36-34 win in set four. The fi fth set went to the home side 15-13.

A big difference in the two games was both teams’ hitting prowess.

In Friday’s UBC victory, the T-Birds hit .228 while the Spar-tans were at just .096. But the roles were reversed on Saturday with TWU hitting .340 and UBC at .056.

Perrin led the way in the loss with 17 kills and six blocks while Katelyn Devaney had eight blocks and three service aces. Kristen Moncks had 13 digs.

Both Spartan teams host the Saskatchewan Huskies this weekend (Jan. 30/31) in a pair of matches at the Langley Events Centre.

At the 2014 FEI World Equestrian Games, Barwick won a silver medal and a bronze medal in Individual para-dressage freestyle test grade II and Individual para-dressage championship test grade II, respec-tively.

According to the Federation Equestre International (FEI), Bar-

wick is ranked as the number one para-equestrian rider in the world as of May 27, 2014.

Barwick became paralyzed from the waist down as a result of a ranch accident in 2000, when a 75 kg hay stack fell on her as she worked in the barn.

A playoff spot is in the books and fi rst place is in their sights thanks to a six-game winning streak.

The Trinity Western Spar-tans men’s hockey team holds an 11-point lead over the Victoria Vikes with six games to play in the B.C. In-tercollegiate Hockey League regular season.

The Spartans won twice last week on home ice at the Langley Events Centre, knocking off the Simon Fra-ser Clan 5-3 and Victoria 5-1.

The victories improved TWU to 14-2-0-2.

“When I fi rst got to TWU, we were never expected to win whenever we played,” said captain Blair Murphy.

“Now we come into every game thinking we can win and take every single point and it feels like we deserve it.

“While this is just the start, clinching a playoff spot this early just shows how far this program has come.”

Jake Harcoff, Mattias Schmitt and Murphy had a goal and an assist apiece to lead the Spartans in the fi rst game while PJ Buys and Grange Gordon had a goal each. SFU’s Tyler Basham led the Clan with a pair of goals while Jesse Williamson had one.

Spartans goalie Silas Mat-

thys made 41 saves in the victory in the fi rst game and followed that up with a 37-save performance the fol-lowing night.

“We continue to get all-star play out of Silas and some of our younger guys are really starting to contribute and

make plays,” said coach Bar-ret Kropf.

The coach also compli-mented the play of the blue-line pairing of Murphy and Josiah Cockrill.

Cody Fidgett led the team with two goals and an assist while Schmitt had a goal and

two helpers. Buys and Sam Gemmell

had the other Spartan tallies. Adam Kleim was the lone Clan player to beat Matthys.

The Spartans play their fi -nal home game at the LEC on Jan. 30 when they host the Eastern Washington Eagles.

Trinity Western Spartans goaltender Silas Matthys smothers the puck with Victoria Vikes’ Adam Klein looming overtop. Matthys made 37 saves in a 5-1 win over the Victoria Vikes last week at the Langley Events Centre.

Over the past two weekends, the Valley West Hawks have shown they are capable of keeping pace with the top teams in the BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML).

Last weekend at the MML’s Showcase Weekend in Richmond, the fi fth-place Hawks faced off against the league-lead-ing Cariboo Cougars and earned a split. Valley West won 3-2 Satur-day afternoon, then lost a 2-1 decision Sunday morn-ing to fall to 15-9-6 with 10 games re-maining. The Cougars are at 26-5-1.

“A pair of low scoring, one-goal games was hardly indicative of the end to end, intense play,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung.

“It truly spoke to the parity at the top of standings where either team could have won either game with a bounce here or there.”

Valley West earned a loss and a win against the Vancouver Giants the previous weekend, giving the defending provincial champions a tough test in both games.

“I think we proved to ourselves over these last two weeks that we are as good as any team in our league,” added Leung.

“We could just as easily be 4-0-0 in our last four rather than 1-2-1.”

The Hawks rallied in the third pe-riod for the win Saturday.

Langley’s James Malm put Valley West up 1-0 13 minutes into the sec-ond period, but a pair of power play goals had the Cougars up 2-1 after 40 minutes.

The Hawks tied the game fi ve minutes into the third period, with

Daniel Watson of Semiahmoo net-ting his second goal of the season on the power play.

Malm netted the game-winning goal with 10 minutes to play, defl ect-ing a point shot from White Rock defenceman Matt Barberis past the Cougars netminder. For Barberis, it was his third assist of the game.

All the scoring Sunday came in the second period.

The Cou-gars struck for two goals in a t h r e e - m i n u t e span midway through the ses-sion, then Semi-ahmoo defender Ian Ross cut into the Cariboo lead with his fourth goal of the sea-son six minutes before the sec-ond intermis-sion.

“Bad luck on a few plays and a very tough op-ponent kept us from another two points,” said Leung.

“If we play every game for the rest of the season like we did these two we will win far more than we lose.”

The Hawks will play twice against the 12-14-4 Fraser Valley Thunder-birds next weekend, traveling to Ab-botsford on Saturday then playing at home at 11 a.m. at the Langley Events Centre on Sunday morning.

ICE CHIPS: Malm extended his lead atop the MML scoring race. He now has 19 goals and 54 points, four more points than Austin Gray of the Cougars.

Barberis continues to lead all de-fencemen in scoring with 40 points, and is tied for 10th overall. With nine goals and 31 assists, Barberis is the only defenceman among the top 25 scorers.

Josh Bruce, 16, played his fi rst-ev-er MML game in Saturday’s win. On Sunday, the Hawks had all their reg-ulars in the lineup for just the sec-ond time this season.

Hawks prove they belong among top teams

Langley’s James Malm (#14) scored twice over the weekend as the Valley West Hawks knocked off the top team in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League, the Cariboo Cougars by a 3-2 score. The Cougars did win the rematch, 2-1. Malm leads the league in scoring with 54 points in 26 games.

Concepts in Quebec: Canadian auto show season gets underwayMontreal, Quebec – Le Salon Interna-tional de l’Auto de Montreal heralds the opening of the Canadian auto show season, right on the heels of the “Big One “in Motor City (aka Detroit).This year, yours truly attended the pre-views for both auto extravaganzas and found optimism abounds in the industry, north and south of the border.As reported last week from Michigan, the Daddy of all Auto Shows showed a lot of high-end cars and new full size trucks. Montreal has a regional flavour with more exhibits that reflect that market’s taste for smaller cars. The latter clearly influenced the decision to unveil the new subcompact Mazda2 here; a select group got the opportunity to get up close and personal with the machine in an artist’s gallery across town. The next day, the all-new CX-3, updated Mazda6 and CX-5 joined it on the show stand. The new Mazda2 was coloured in what I call show-off red and showed off its so-called KODO – Soul of Motion – design style to its best. I first saw this handsome style, which gives the impression that the vehicle is moving even when stationary, at the Mazda6 launch in Paris a few years ago. Translating it into a smaller car is not just a matter of shrinking the original but requires great design skill and clearly, Mazda has that in abundance.In Canada, a 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine will power the Mazda2, and a choice of two transmissions will be available – a six-speed manual and a six-speed

auto. Prices will be fixed closer to launch, later this year, but expect it to be compa-rable to the current model and come in below $15,000.While there were plenty of econo cars on show, like Detroit, other than the Mazda2 there was nothing new to see in that range. Green cars were in evidence in Montreal but when the shows reach the west, you can expect to see many more cars for the eco-conscious drivers.

Four concept cars did turn heads…

Cadillac ElmirajYou won’t see one on the road but the long two-door grand coupe concept will influence the near-future design of the next line of Cadillacs. The Elmiraj features a 4.5-litre twin turbocharged V8 deliv-ering an estimated 500 hp. The engine takes the baseline technology from the Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 and expands it to

the classic performance format of a V8 engine.

Hyundai IntradoThe same can be said of the thinking behind the Hyundai Intrado, which is a concept crossover designed to foreshadow a change design direction for the Korean manufacturer. It looks a little bit like an oversized Juke, the quirky Nissan product loved and hated seemingly in equal measure. The Intrado seems a bit more lovable and passersby indicated a similar looking production would in find favour among many.

The concept features a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain linked to a 36 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that Hyund-ai boasts will provide a range of 600 kilometres. By the way, British Columbians will soon be able to lease a Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, with a similar power-train and a reported range of 425 kms.

Subaru VIZIV2The Subaru concept crossover utility hybrid shown is a four-door version of a previously revealed two-door. Get this: Subaru says its “athletic, rugged shape of the sides seem designed in the image of a muscular NHL defenceman, and the fenders flare in a sturdy style.” Ahem.Looks like it came out of the Nissan/Infiniti design studios, and that’s not a criticism.

Toyota FT1Toyota was all about the roar of the engines in Montre-al, which certainly pleased the gathered Quebec auto journos, who to a man/woman always appear to be race crazy to me (Given the market reality in Quebec, that doesn’t appear to be reflected in car buyer choices). Nevertheless, most would surely enjoy the sleek lines of the Toyota FT-1, designed to be at home on the track and a heck of a ticket magnet on the highway. Up next is the Toronto Show, which takes the name The Canadian International Auto Show. Bite your lip, Morgan. The Calgary show follows, then the new-look, re-imagined Vancouver International Auto Show debuts March 24-29.

Faith is a concept not exclusive to religion.The principle of faith is to believe in things that haven’t been seen. Then there is the loss of faith. Perhaps the lack of seeing, and the abundance of waiting, left other opinions to be formed in the waiting period.Lincoln is a brand in which many lost faith. Its association with lacklustre quality, the stigma that only individuals who are in the latter stages of life drive a Lincoln, and the fact that there is dwindling brand appeal, didn’t help its cause.In the last couple of years, the “Have faith in Lincoln resto-ration campaign” has been in full swing.With strong products, ones that appeal to both the eyes and enthusiast, they’re coming back strong. But are these traits enough to bring a younger demographic into the fold?With the launch of its small, premium utility vehicle, the MKC, it’s certainly a huge stride in the right direction. It’s all-new for 2015 and starts at an MSRP of $39,940. The MKC is the first vehicle to be designed from the ground up in a dedicated Lincoln studio, and I think they’ve done a great job. From its classic and signature split wing grille, to its tight lines, to its overall form, I’m impressed.As you slip inside its spacious and inviting interior, you’ll notice the absence of a large gear selector near the centre console. That’s because it’s integrated into the stack and you operate it via the push of a button.While some have a very polarized opinion on this feature, I didn’t mind it at all. Yes, I reached for a gear selector that wasn’t there a few times and confused my passengers, but after a few times behind the wheel, it made sense why it was there.The centre stack has a streamlined-nature to it. The buttons

and touch screen blend effort-lessly. Of course, when the touch screen is off you can see all the fingerprints but a soft cloth fixes that!Aside from its aesthetics, the MKC does drive and handle very well. Based on the Ford Escape, this 5-passenger vehicle comes equipped with two different

engines. The first is a 2.0L, EcoBoost 4-cyl-inder with 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s an optional 2.3L, EcoBoost 4-cylinder with a spirited 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque. It’s then matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The MKC, regardless of engine choice, comes with an all-wheel drive (AWD) setup.Whether at speed or crawling along in the city, the electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) has been calibrated to give the driver enough feedback that it doesn’t feel lazy, but has enough resistance to make the commute a pleasant one.Combined with its suspension, which is an independent MacPherson strut-type up front and a fully independent multi-link with stabilizer bar around back, you have a recipe for an MKC that handles the turns with poise and confidence.Estimated fuel consumption numbers come in at 12.9L/100km in the city and 9.2L/100km on the road. According to the trip computer, which I zeroed after picking the vehicle up, it said I was averaging 15.7L/100km. Yikes. I didn’t think I had that much of a lead foot, but I wasn’t driving the vehicle hard. And my daily routines consist of both city and highway driving. This figure wasn’t as impressive as I had hoped for.Aside from not-so-amazing fuel results, I was quite happy with

the MKC’s cargo capacity. With the rear seats up, you’re look-ing at 712L. With the rear seats folded, there’s 1,505L to work with. It’s perfect for larger items like my road bike! I didn’t even have to take the front wheel off to fit it inside. Bonus.Then there are such features like the panoramic vista roof, the heated and cooled front seats, a THX audio system, and active park assist to make the vehicle even sweeter.Despite the plethora of options – there were $14,230 worth, for a test price of $55,920 with the $1,750 delivery charge included – the MKC doesn’t need to be loaded with them to the max to make it a worthwhile vehicle to drive. It does have some tough competition, like the Audi Q5, Acura RDX, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK, but it can hold its own and does a great job of ensuring a great driver’s experience.

drivewayAcura RDX breaks with automotive tradition

continued on page 44

When one manufacturer comes out with a vehi-cle, you can be sure that the other manufacturers will match the equipment and price, almost to the dollar with their own products.There are exceptions to every rule and the Acura RDX is one of those exceptions. The value that this en-try-level premium SUV offers is so good, it is hard to find a vehicle that can compete on price, features and overall ease of use. Based on the hot-selling Hon-da CR-V, Acura takes what is good about that ve-hicle and transforms it into an Acura, full of luxury

touches, more power and refinement that makesit the best value in the hyper competitive compact

luxury SUV space.Looks With every great deal there is usu-ally one area that lets down theoverall package and in the case ofthe RDX it is exterior styling. The Acura grille is less intrusive thanthe previous model but it might berather bland. Wheel sizes are kept

to 18-inches, even the optional sport wheels are only 18-inches. The rest of the RDX is inoffensive but not striking either. The size and shape is per-

fect for most buyers looking for a compact SUV, with large easy to use doors. The RDX is sold in only two trim levels; the base is$41,390, almost dollar-for-dollar the samestarting price as all other small luxury SUVs.It is the optional Tech package that makes this a steal. Fully loaded, the RDX Tech is just $3000 more at $44,390. InsideAcura takes the CR-V’s selling points like a roomy cabin, flat rear floor, automaticfolding rear seats and pumps up the fea-tures. The dash is nicely arranged withmuch higher trim and finish on the dash, doors and armrests. Standard features in-clude heated leather seats, power moon roof, push button start and a multi anglerearview camera. The Tech package adds an8-inch centre screen with voice activatednavigation, a power tailgate, dual climate control and an upgraded stereo system, for just $3000 more. Try and find these featuresin one of the competitive German orJapanese vehicles for just over $44,000. Itdoesn’t exist. Acura and Honda are moving towards a two-screen centre console, the RDX is still sold with a single screen andthis makes the operation much simpler. The new systems are eye catching but simplicityover flash has a place. DriveWith manufacturers racing to include small-er turbocharged engines with eight andnine speed automatics, the RDX is still soldwith a trusty 3.5L V6 and a proven 6-speedautomatic. Take notice, this might not bethe case with the next model so buyingthis simpler RDX might be a good buy. The 273hp engine is very quick off the line; it cruises with ease and passes without hes-

by Zack Spencer

Drives-U-CrazyIt’s smart to assume that drivers today will always do something unexpectedly stupid.

The following may not qualify as stupid but it is stupefying! – Over cautious drivers who stop unnecessarily at neigh-borhood street intersections when the only stop signs are on the cross street. Get a move on!

What drives-u-crazy?

2015 Acura RDX ZACK SPENCER

continued from page 42

itation. In real world highway and city driving the RDX returned 13L/100km just slightly worse than the 12L used in the CR-V. All wheel drive (AWD) comes standard on all models but it is a simpler system than the previous model. The suspension is less aggressive than the past model too. This has all been done to produce a ride that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. In everyday driving, the laid-back approach is welcome but the powerful engine always makes the commute fun.VerdictSome good news, the rumour mill is grinding out potential new updates for the 2016 model year in-cluding a refreshed front end and interior tweaks. Stay tuned. As it stands, the RDX is a bargain in

the small luxury SUV space but this Acura model almost needs an edge because the brand doesn’t have the same badge-appeal as the German mak-ers and even Lexus. This RDX competes in the luxu-ry space but many potential buyers don’t perceive Acura to be true luxury, more premium than luxury. This is the same battle Lincoln is facing. If you are in the market for a fantastic, very well equipped small SUV with plenty of luxury touches then the RDX should be on your list. Get past the badge-ap-peal and find out for yourself what this vehicle has to offer.
