Township looks into anti-tether regulations

Long ride for a good cause

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

A bylaw to restrict chaining or tethering dogs is being investigated by Township of Langley staff, following a call for action by an Alder-grove resident.

Callie McHardy told the June 29 evening meet-ing of Township council she was “surprised” to learn there was no such law on the books in Langley when she tried to get help for a dog near her home.

“Just down the street, there’s a dog that’s always chained up,” McHardy told Township council.

Calling the practice “cruel,” McHardy asked for a bylaw, similar to what other municipali-ties have enacted, against chaining or tethering dogs for a lengthy period of time.

Some Langley dogs are left on a tether, unat-tended, for 24 hours a day, McHardy said.

“They just live their lives on the end of chains.”

Dogs are pack animals, McHardy added, and they need interaction with humans and other dogs.

Councillors Bob Long and Michelle Sparrow convinced the rest of council to have staff look into the issue.

A report is expected following the summer break at Township council.

The cities of Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster, Victoria and the Village of Lion’s Bay have passed anti-tethering regulations.

Langley City reviewed the same issue last year and found tethering restrictions would be “extremely diffi cult to enforce” and “almost im-possible to monitor,” in the words of a March 6 report by Carolyn Mushata, manager of legisla-tive services.


The fourth year of the annual ride into history fundraiser for the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope in Langley drew more than 120 riders on Saturday.

The 245-kilometre “poker run” started at historic Fort Langley with a pancake breakfast pro-vided by the Fort Langley Lions.

The riders headed out at 10 a.m.

En route to and from Harrison Hot Springs, there were a num-ber of stops where riders drew cards, with the goal of assem-bling a winning hand at the end when they arrived at the Gate-way shelter.

At the Saturday banquet, one of Gateway’s Opportunities Pro-gram residents who is fi nding success in the program spoke to the riders.

“It’s important to recognize why we are doing what we are doing in the Langley community and the impact we are making,” said Les McAusland, emergency shelter and opportunities pro-gram manager at Gateway.

All the money raised will di-rectly benefi t and fund commu-nity services provided at Gate-way.

Aldergrove Financial Group, Envision Financial, and Prospera Credit Union partnered to pres-ent the event.

The day before the ride, there was a cruise and concert at the Fort Langley National Historic Site’s orchard featuring Randy ‘Elvis’ Friskie.

Sources, Langley’s newest food bank, is planning to set up a satellite distribution outlet in Aldergrove.

Denise Darrell, Sources director of women, seniors and community services, said the non-profi t is looking for depot space to bring food from the Langley City food bank to people in Aldergrove.

“It’ll just be pre-boxed hampers,” Dar-rell told The Times on Wednesday.

Since the news of Sources’ arrival was reported last month, the food bank has been fl ooded with phone calls, “especial-ly from Aldergrove,” said Bruce Strom, the Sources food bank Langley operations manager.

The number of volunteers, clients and donors has increased, enough that Dar-rell expects the food bank will move to twice-a-week distribution by the fall.

Sources currently distributes food once a week, on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. from the United Church of Langley at 5673 200 St.

Darrell said the church was “fantastic,” providing Sources with free space during the fi rst nine months.

During that time, the food bank ex-panded from a boardroom into a larger multipurpose space in the church base-ment and now pays a lease.

It is looking for a larger space some-where in Langley City, one with more storage room.

Sources is also hoping to fi nd donors to

help obtain needed items like a refriger-ated van and a commercial weigh scale.

On Wednesday, Darrell was heading to the Langley Central Rotary Club to accept a $4,100 cheque.

It is much-needed money that will help, but more is needed, she said.

On a more immediate note, Strom said the outlet also needs to replenish its canned beans, fi sh and meat.

“My stocks of protein are very low,” Strom said.

Because the Sources Langley food bank has only just opened, it doesn’t have a stock of Christmas-season supplies to draw on.

The non-profi t group has operated a food bank serving South Surrey/White Rock for over 30 years.

Sources moved into Langley in Septem-ber at the invitation of the Food Banks BC association after the established Langley Food Bank quit the association rather than follow ethical guidelines concerning the treatment of clients.

Anyone who can help the rapidly-grow-ing Sources food bank fi nd new space in Langley City and Aldergrove is asked to contact [email protected] or phone 604-541-4820.

Sources also needs drivers to make pickups of donated food. If you can help, you’re asked to phone 604-542-4357.

And if you would like to make a dona-tion, including fi nancial support, contact [email protected] or phone 604-541-4833.

Food bank plans expansion into AldergroveSOURCES HAS ALREADY RECEIVED SEVERAL REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE AREA

Sources director Denise Darrell fi lls shelves at the Langley food bank located inside the United Church of Langley on 200 Street. Sources wants to open a distribution centre in Aldergrove after receiving a number of requests for help from people in that community.



A 32-year-old Langley man was killed after his motor-cycle was hit by a car Saturday night (July 25) in Surrey.

A 22-year-old woman who was a passenger on the bike was transported to hospital by air ambulance in serious condition.

Around 9 p.m. a 2003 Saturn driven by a resident of North Vancouver was heading west on 8 Avenue when it turned left on to 172 Street and became involved in a collision with a motorcycle going east on 8 Avenue.

Police said speed and alcohol did not appear to be contributing factors in this collision.

Surrey crashMONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

A 38-year-old Aldergrove man is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after his motorcycle slammed into the back of a SUV on the freeway, near 200 Street on Wednesday afternoon.

According to Cpl. Ronda Rempel of the BC RCMP Traffi c Services, around 4:30 p.m., the motorcyclist was driv-ing eastbound on the freeway, just past 200 Street, when he rear-ended a

vehicle and was ejected from his bike, leaving him with serious injuries.

“Contributing factors to the crash were speed and inattention on the part of the motorcyclist,” said Rempel. Witnesses told police, he was driv-ing at a high rate of speed before the crash.

The Aldergrove man was taken by ambulance to a trauma hospital. The highway’s eastbound lanes were closed from 5:15 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The passengers in the SUV were tak-en to Langley Memorial Hospital as a precaution but all were released with-out injuries.

Because this crash happened in the middle of rush hour, there were plen-ty of witnesses who provided state-ments to the police, for which RCMP are appreciative.

The motorcyclist is expected to live but has very serious injuries, Rempel said.

MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter

On a hot July after-noon, two people took shade under a tree near the playground of Rotary Centennial Park.

Accompanying them were a pair of over-fl owing shopping carts and, nearby, sat a heap of garbage.

It is a scene that is becoming all too famil-iar at the small park, according to area res-idents and the City of Langley.

Ongoing reports of used needles, aban-doned shopping carts, garbage, graffi ti and vandalism have prompted the City to allot $5,000 for a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) study of the park, which is located

in a residential area behind Safeway, at 208 Street and Fraser High-way.

“It’s disgusting what goes on there,” said Councillor Gayle Mar-tin during the July 27 council meeting, as members debated the use of the $5,000.

According to council-lor Val van den Broek, it is unnecessary to spend extra money on a study.

The City is hiring Greg Perkins of Liaho-na Security Consor-tium Inc. as a consul-tant to do the review, however there are sev-eral trained Langley RCMP offi cers that are capable of performing it, van den Broek said.

“There are staff members at the RCMP that can do this for free because we are already

paying their wages, in-stead of taking $5,000 from the taxpayers to do this,” she said.

Van den Broek told council she dealt with Rotary Centennial Park for years while work-ing at the City’s com-munity police offi ce, and that reviews have been done on the area in the past.

The statement caused confusion in council chambers.

If the RCMP did com-prehensive reviews and found there were things that could be done, why wouldn’t they share this with the City, asked Martin.

Both Francis Cheung, the City’s CAO, and Gerald Minchuk, direc-tor of development ser-vices, told council they were not aware of any studies that had been conducted.

That’s because the information gathered in them is confi dential, due to the privacy act, said van den Broek.

The review is be-tween the reviewer and the owner of the prop-erty, she said.

The City is the prop-erty owner, Cheung confi rmed.

“If that report is only conducive to the owner of the property, we are the owners,” said Mar-tin.

“So why wouldn’t we have it? I would think you would know if we commissioned a re-port.”

Despite the confu-sion, the councillors agreed that immediate action is needed in the park and that the vote cannot wait until they reconvene in Septem-ber.

Council voted to commission the CPT-ED study, with van den Broek opposed.

The study will be paid for through coun-cil’s enterprise fund, which is made up of casino proceeds paid to the City.

Cheung later con-fi rmed to The Times that formal CPTED studies have been done on the residences near the park, but not on the City-owned park itself.

Therefore, the mu-nicipality does not have access to the pre-vious studies.

Van den Broek also later confi rmed that she has conducted in-formal studies on the park, however none that were formal CPT-ED investigations.

“There’s little things you can do which is an informal CPTED,” van den Broek told The Times.

“There’s bigger things you can do where it’s a formal report, where you write things out and you go over every-thing, you give it back to the person and say there are the recom-mendations.

“In regards to the actual park itself, [they’re] informal.”

Mushata said the Langley An-imal Protection Society (LAPS) receives one or two complaints a month about tethered or chained dogs in both the City and Township.

Limiting the time a dog can be tethered would be “very diffi cult” to enforce unless it was banned entirely or only allowed when the owner is in attendance, LAPS predicted.

The Mushata report warned restricting outdoor tethering “may lead to even worse con-fi nement conditions within the interior of the home mak-ing the situation almost im-possible to address.”

“Regulating confi nement and tethering of dogs would be extremely diffi cult to enforce and is not recommended,” the report concluded.

The City animal control law was left unchanged.

It requires tethering of dogs, aggressive or not, “in such a manner to prevent the dog from leaving the property.”

It does not set any restric-tions on the time or method of tethering or size of the con-fi nement area.

But it does ban the use of choke chains around the neck

and confi nement of a dog in an enclosed space, including a vehicle, without “adequate ventilation.”

The report to City council said provincial and federal

laws forbid “unnecessary suf-fering” by animals, but “the legal test for these offences is high, so it is diffi cult to bring charges under the current leg-islation.”

From Page 1

Ban could result in worse conditions for dogs – report

The Township is looking into a bylaw that would regulate the tethering of dogs. A similar study in the City indicated such a bylaw would be diffi cult, if not impossible, to enforce.

Two Chilliwack residents have been fi ned and placed on probation for a year after they pleaded guilty in a U.S. court to smuggling a meth-lab-in-a-box across the Aldergrove border crossing last November.

Court documents posted online show Calum James Buchanan and Lola Crystal McKay were each given one year plus one day of “community custody” which requires them to report to a pa-role offi cer.

Buchanan was fi ned $3,900 and McKay was fi ned $1,900.

Both have promised to pay the fi nes in $100 monthly installments.

Buchanan was sentenced in February and McK-ay was sentenced in June after they each pleaded guilty to “possession with intent to manufacture/deliver methamphetamine” a charge that carries a potential maximum of 10 years plus a $20,000 fi ne.

A charge of bail jumping, laid against McKay af-ter she failed to show up for a court hearing, was dropped after she returned to Washington State and pleaded guilty.

Both were arrested at the Aldergrove border crossing on Nov. 23 of last year after U.S. Customs and Border Protection offi cers discovered chemi-cals inside a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am.

A U.S. customs offi cer became nauseated and vomited from the fumes in some plastic wrapped storage containers in the car.

The crossing was shut down in both directions for about an hour while a hazmat team removed the chemicals.

The sickened offi cer was transported to hospi-tal and made a full recovery.

A poorly-timed stretch of rainy weath-er reduced the turnout for the fourth annual Walnut Festival at Vista D’Oro Farms and Winery on Sunday (July 26).

Despite the damp, the fundraiser for Canuck Place children’s hospice still managed to raise $1,200.

Lee Murphy of Vista D’Oro, who volun-teers at Canuck Place, said there would “defi nitely” be a fi fth festival fundraiser next year.

Vista D’oro invited a number of “our fa-vourite chefs/creators/farmers to spend the day at the farm with all of us, in cel-ebration of the green walnut.”

Visitors could sample various products and listen to live music under the wal-nut trees at the farm, located at 346 208 St.

Canuck Place fundraising co-ordinator Jeffrey Thiessen dropped by Sunday.

“This is the fi rst year I’ve actually been able to attend,” Thiessen said.

He praised Vista D’Oro for their con-tinuing support.

“It’s the relationship I value and that’s why I was glad to meet them this year.”

The City of Langley recovered $1,200 in missing items during its fi nes amnesty day on Saturday, July 25.

Although this is just a sliver of the estimat-ed $400,000 worth of items checked out and never returned from li-braries across the Fra-ser Valley, City Coun-cillor Gayle Martin is still calling the event a success.

Forty four items were received and $400 in fi nes waived.

One woman returned items that had accu-mulated $60 in fi nes. She had a hard month and the amnesty day gave her a fresh start, Martin said.

Another person brought back a year-old trade manual. He couldn’t afford the fi nes, so he had never returned it.

The City of Langley Library amnesty day allowed people to re-turn overdue items, borrowed from any library in the Fraser Valley regional system, without penalty.

City Council’s decision to spend $5,000 to look into problems at Rotary Centennial Park was the correct one, under the circumstances.

At its fi nal meeting before breaking for the summer, council voted 6-1 on Monday night

to hire a consultant to carry out a CPTED (Crime Preven-tion Through Environmental Design) study, in an effort to curb illegal activity in the park.

Councillor Val van den Broek, who cast the lone no vote, did so because she felt the study would be a waste of mon-ey when there are people already on the RCMP payroll who are qualifi ed to carry it out.

But for the residents who live on three of the isolated park’s four sides, time is no doubt of the essence.

They’re the ones overlooking graffi ti-covered walls, piles of garbage and abandoned shopping carts, and having to keep an eye out every day for used needles and other po-tentially harmful substances.

During the past several months, overnight camping has also become a problem at the small park, which has only one entrance and is blocked from view by buildings on ev-ery side.

As a result, the park has been identifi ed as a priority area, presenting “considerable” public safety and health concerns.

The intent of the study, which City staff expect will be underway within a couple of weeks, is to identify poten-tial solutions — both immediate and long-term.

The money will be taken from the City’s enterprise fund, which is funded exclusively through casino proceeds. That seems appropriate to us.

Our concern is what happens next.We have no problem with the expenditure, as long as

the result isn’t simply another document that ends up on a shelf somewhere collecting dust, and provided the solution isn’t simply to remove the issue from the park — effectively relocating it to some other part of the commu-nity (or to another community).

There are some challenging factors with the park that, as far as we can tell, can’t be changed.

Its relative isolation, for one, makes it an ideal spot to carry on any number of illegal and disruptive activities, away from prying eyes. And the convenient downtown lo-cation no doubt contributes to the park’s desirability as a place to congregate.

We’re interested to know what, if anything, the City can do to get a real and lasting handle on the problem.

It’s no doubt worth fi ve grand to the people who live around Rotary Centennial Park to fi nd out.

When tragedy strikes, there are often unsung heroes who step up and take charge.

One such incident happened in Sooke about a month ago, when a fi re ripped through Grant Manor. The fi re left close to 20 people homeless.

All of those living in Grant Manor, an affordable housing facility, had some form of disability, be it physical or mental.

The fi re left many of them scattered throughout the region. Some were lucky enough to fi nd a new home, others relied on the charity of friends and family, or pitched a tent and hoped for the best. Luckily, at least at the outset, there were social service agencies there to lend assistance.

Still, all was not well.As the days and weeks passed, it became apparent that

more was needed – much more. There were individual and smaller groups coming together, but there wasn’t one group that could speak and fi nd help where needed.

All these groups came together last week under one fund-raising wing, and everything seems to be coming together.

Household goods, money and other donations appear to be going to the right places or individuals. The former residents of Grant Manor are getting their lives back together.

There will be many ups and downs for those residents in the weeks and months ahead, but now they know someone has got their back.

Those who have stepped up to help have shown a quiet heroism we can all be proud of, and too often goes unrecog-nized.

Wheeling and dealing in the world of auto sales

I purchased a new vehicle. Well, not a brand new vehicle, but al-most. My truck had that combina-tion of age, kilometres and repairs needed that made me go shopping.

I hadn’t been shopping for a ve-hicle for about 12 years and I was a bit shocked when I saw what I would have to pay if I found what I was looking for.

I did fi nd one on a private sale. Low mileage, clean and with every option but a fi sh fi nder.

I took it for a test drive and made an of-fer that was accepted, but was taken aback when the seller said he wanted cash.

After checking with my bank, I found out I couldn’t just take that much of my cash out of the bank without making a requisi-tion, then waiting 24 hours.

Then the seller wanted to complete the deal at a SkyTrain Station in Surrey, so I called it off and told him I would look else-where.

That’s too bad, because he seemed like a nice guy and I remember a time when cash was exchanged, a handshake was made and a deal was completed. Land was pur-chased that way, materials to build homes were bought that way and we trusted each other.

But a day later I found the car I was look-ing for on a local lot and we made a deal. I’m going to tell you I got a good deal be-cause no guy will ever say, “Boy that guy saw me coming and really ripped me off.”

We always get a good deal when we buy a vehicle.

Of course it has lots of new gadgets and the dashboard is somewhat similar to the Space Shuttle.

The fi rst day it rained, I sat in the drive-

way for a bit fi guring how to turn the wipers on. I tried to change the radio station and it started to scan and switch stations every 10 sec-onds so I turned it off.

A few years back when we bought a new car for the fi re department, the salesman told me to put the owner’s manual in the vanity draw-er in front of the toilet.

“In one month you will know more about that car than any other one you have ever owned.”

Not only was he right, but I also improved my regularity.

After I had learned what all the switches and dials were for, the driving was much more enjoyable.

Next I made a trip to Canadian Tire. They have an entire section there for guys who have just bought new cars.

When I was washing my old truck, I would shake the sand out of the old wash mitt, pour some laundry detergent or dish soap into a pail and after some scrubbing, it would look OK.

But to protect this investment I pur-chased a ‘synthetic lamb’s wool wash mitt,’ a bottle of combination car wash and wax liquid that ‘produces a high gloss shine every time’, and because we have water restrictions I picked up the ‘Original California Car Duster’ designed to ‘scientif-ically and effectively remove surface dust without scratching.’ (As seen on TV!)

My fi rst car cost $100, and I was pretty proud of that old Plymouth and it never let me down.

I paid a bit more this time, but I’ll be more than happy if I get that service out of my new one.

At least, that’s what McGregor says.

An editorial in Wednesday’s edition of the Langley Times incorrectly indicated that the City’s Terry Fox run is a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society.

In fact, it raises money for the national Terry Fox Foundation. The Times regrets the error.

Editor: John Winter argues (The Times, July 24) that the mayors should consider light rail for the Valley, but I won-der if he has been following the news lately.

The public has just rejected a proposal to implement a tax to fund the region’s portion of the mayors’ plan for improving the transportation infrastructure throughout Metro Vancouver.

That plan included a light rail system in Langley and Surrey. Bottom line, there is no money for light rail for the Valley.

BILL MASSE,

LANGLEY

Editor: I would like to add to G. Blatt’s letter ‘Saddened by salaries’ (The Times, July 10).

I am in complete agreement with the suggestions in that letter but would like to add that respect as well as respon-sibility be shown to the taxpayer by capping salaries at no more than $100,000.

I was appalled to learn of the salaries for these seven Township employees.

The release of the report is required by law. I’m wonder-ing if these employees felt any shame or embarrassment by this exposure?

L. COELHO,

LANGLEY

Editor: When I received my little (and very taxable) UCCB (Universal Child Care Benefi t) cheque in the mail yesterday, I put my ear to the ground and could hear a swiftly approach-ing election.

This new UCCB is only a fraction of the av-erage cost of daycare. Parents need affordable daycare not summer pocket money.

I suspect affordable and accessible day care would boost the economy in a much larger and long-term manner than a blip on the consum-er summer spending graph.

Another signifi cant benefi t to childcare/early childhood education — In Time Health-line — June 9, 2011 Maia Szalavitz writes: “To cut crime, raise education and income levels, and reduce addiction rates among the poor, no program offers more bang for the buck than preschool, as a new study published in Sci-ence demonstrates.”

It is commonly estimated that for every dol-lar spent on preschool, seven dollars is saved. Where else can you get that rate of return?

Does each party have a plan in place for af-fordable daycare? How about quality regulat-ed early childhood education that transitions seamlessly to kindergarten?

It would also create good jobs for early child-hood educators and perhaps teachers who want summer work.

MICHELLE MATICH,

LANGLEY

To set the record straight

Editor: I am responding to the ar-ticle by Jim Bronskill from the Cana-dian Press (langleytimes.com, July 13) concerning the amount of tax debt determined by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to be noncollectable.

Here are the facts: When a tax debt is written off, it is not because the CRA does not have the resources to collect the debt.

Rather it is because there is no reasonable prospect of recovery, or the amount is noncollectable, due to the expiration of the legal limitation period to collect, or the debtor is in-solvent.

For perspective: in fi scal year 2013-2014, the agency collected a total of $330.9 billion in taxes and other revenues such as Employment In-surance premiums, Canada Pension Plan contributions, interest and penalties. The amount written off

— $3.4 billion — represents only one per cent of the total tax collected.

Even when an account is written off, it may remain collectible and the taxpayer’s obligation to pay may not be eliminated. The CRA has the right to collect the debt in the future if the taxpayer is located or their fi -nancial situation improves.

Further, the CRA’s actions to ad-dress offshore tax evasion have nev-er been more substantial.

Most recently, Economic Action Plan (EAP) 2015 invested an addi-tional $58.2 million for tax avoid-ance by large and complex entities, and an additional $25.3 million to address offshore non-compliance.

Because of these efforts we are seeing results.

The dramatic increase in taxpayer submissions to the CRA’s Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) indicates

that Canadians are aware of the CRA’s focus on detecting and de-terring offshore non-compliance.

More than 5,000 disclosures re-lated to offshore activities were re-ceived by the CRA from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014, leading to the identifi cation of $303 million in un-reported income. Compare that to fi scal year 2014-15, where that num-ber rose to 10,188 disclosures and $708 million in identifi ed unreport-ed income.

This is millions of dollars that, as a result of concerted government action, is now being collected and returned to Canada’s revenue base.

MIREILLE LAROCHE, DEPUTY ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER

COLLECTIONS AND VERIFICATION BRANCH,

CANADA REVENUE AGENCY

Editor: I have a message for Stephen (soon to be ex-Prime Minister of Canada) Harper.

Please, Steve, just keep running those negative ads trashing Justin Trudeau.

Just about every single person that I have spoken to in the last several weeks is as sickened by them as I am.

So please, keep showing those ads, and reap the benefi ts this fall.

Happy job hunting. I for one can hardly wait for Justin Trudeau to be our next Prime Minister.

JACK MCEWEN,

LANGLEY

Editor: Just recently I had an unfortunate cardiac episode which needed urgent care and was rushed, via ambulance, to Langley Memorial Hospital’s emergency department.

It was like going to a Third World hospital. Stretchers couldn’t be rushed through the halls expediently as they are too narrow — plus they were full of other stretchers, carts, and people.

There were three other stretchers, with all their ac-companying ambulance peo-ple ahead of us, and very soon three other sets behind us.

As I lay looking at the walls, I noticed they were dirty and pitted, with gyprock torn off.

Finally, after three hours in the emergency room, we saw one of the rushed and harried doctors.

It turned out well for me in the end, thankfully, but the emergency department was so small and crowded with carts of linen and supplies, people and staff coming and going.

The fl oors and walls were dirty, there were lots of house

fl ies buzzing around and land-ing on me in the stretcher behind the emergency room curtain.

A police group were guard-ing a drugged-up young wom-an next door.

Finally, one of the doctors told my two children: “Get your loved one out of here be-fore they get sick.”

I know it is not the doctors’ and nurses’ fault, but the hos-pital is far too small and not funded with our collected Langley property tax money — as usual.

It was very disheartening to witness, having been released from a clean, fantastic, well-run, but old, hospital recently (St Paul’s).

It is a disgrace to our love-ly Langley community that we cannot even have a clean, well-run emergency depart-ment to assist our large grow-ing population. Heaven help us in a huge disaster scenario such as an earthquake.

While Kevin Burton always enjoyed a cup of coffee, he was not what you would classi-fy as a connoisseur.

That has changed.Drinking multiple

cups per day — Bur-ton estimates he’s at four or fi ve cups daily — helps him in his line of work, as the busi-ness owner of Coffee on the Coast.

The business, which originally opened in June 2014, relocated to Langley City earlier this month, in Sundel Square.

Coffee on the Coast offers close to 600 dif-ferent kinds of coffee, tea and hot chocolates, each sold in individual single-serve pods.

When customers en-ter the store, they are greeted by the coffee aroma as the shelves are lined wall-to-wall of all that the store has to offer.

And from that selec-tion, people can put to-gether an assortment of products, with 24 pods selling for $17.99 — less than a dollar a cup. Some of the pre-mium ones are a bit more expensive.

Burton moved west from Ontario to set up

his business and he is banking on people like himself to support Cof-fee on the Coast.

“I never loved coffee that much to commit to a full box,” he ex-plained.

“I always wanted to try this and that.

“And as soon as I realized there are so many options avail-able, that’s when I be-gan thinking about how can I put this into a business and build this.”

And having sampled everything that his store has for sale, Bur-ton can also share his experiences.

“In each stage of my coffee lifestyle, I have found new things and I have developed differ-ent tastes,” he said.

Not knowing much about the Lower Main-land when he moved here last year from On-tario, the 27-year-old Burton fi rst set up his business in Whalley.

But while he loved

the area — he still lives in Whalley — it wasn’t the right fi t for his business, which lacked foot traffi c in the area.

Burton — who also has a silent partner in the business — said he looked at about a dozen locations before choosing the Sundel Square location.

“It is a nice walkable street and there are lots of other good busi-nesses in the area,” he said.

Much of his clientele

from the original loca-tion has also followed Burton to Langley, he said.

This is Burton’s fi rst venture into his own business, although he does have plenty of re-tail experience.

The store is located at #106 20226 Fraser Hwy.

They open daily at 10 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, 8 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and 5 p.m. on weekends.

The former Liquidation World space has been sitting empty for a few years, but the 20,000 square foot building has now been given a new lease on life.

Bibles For Mission thrift store is moving in, and it is expected to be open by mid-August.

BFM has outgrown its current location at 5785 200 St., where it was located for more than 20 years.

“Parking has been the real issue for a long time,” said BFM manager Arlene Roersma.

“Our new location has three times the space, too.”Roersma has worked at the 200 Street location

for more than six years, fi rst as a volunteer then, the past four years, as the manager.

There are close to 100 volunteers at the Langley location alone.

BFM thrift stores are located across Canada and raise millions of dollars for missions in poor coun-tries.

They have been and are a busy store.“It’s the thrill of the hunt,” said Roersma. Cloth-

ing is always their number one seller, then books. But right now, anything retro is all the rage.

“People like funky and unique,” she said.The new location at “Rainbow Mall” is right at

the Logan Avenue bus exchange, which recently had new lighting put in. There are a few vacant store fronts at the mall and Langley City Mayor Ted Schaffer has been in constant contact with the property owner.

Thrift stores are popular in Langley City, with the Penny Pincher thrift store buying the former Coast Capital building and moving onto the one-way.

Another thrift store, Battered and Abused Wom-en’s Thrift, moved into where McFrugal’s used to be on 56 Avenue. New Hope for Children thrift store moved in to the 56 Avenue store where Penny Pincher was previously located.

Bibles for Mission on the move

Kevin Burton has opened up Coffee on the Coast in Langley City. The unique business offers hundreds of different types of coffees, teas and hot chocolates, all available by the individual pod.

Defi brillation is the delivery of lifesaving electrical energy to the heart during an abnor-mal rhythm or very rap-id erratic beating of the heart.

A defi brillator jolts the heart with an electric shock, forcing a con-traction, in the hopes of re-establishing a regular rhythm.

Unlike a typical de-fi brillator, a transport defi brillator is packed with innovative func-tionality — it contin-uously monitors a pa-tient’s vital signs while they are being taken to other parts of the hos-pital or another facility for specialized testing or it can be transported on its own directly to the site of a patient in need.

This piece of equip-ment is integral to the care provided at Langley Memorial Hospital. The goal is to have one on each fl oor.

GARY AHUJA @LangleyTSports604.514.6754 • sports@langleyt imes.com

Langley’s John Stuart was the helm of Team Canada as head coach of the men’s softball team which won gold at both the world championships in Sas-katoon and then the Pan American Games in Toronto.


GARY AHUJATimes Sports

The month of July is one John Stuart is not likely to forget anytime soon.

It began with Canada cap-turing their fi rst world men’s softball championship since 1992 — and for the fi rst time on home soil — in Saska-toon. And the month ended with Canada pulling off the double-double, taking gold at the Pan American Games in Toronto.

“It still kind of feels surreal,” said Stuart, the head coach for Team Canada.

“It was an unbelievable expe-rience.

“To get Canada back on the map as one of the top countries in the world and then go to To-ronto for the Pan Am Games and win gold there, it has been just unbelievable.”

At the world championships, Canada defeated the defending champions from New Zealand 10-5 in the gold medal game on July 5. New Zealand had beaten Canada 9-5 earlier the day before in the playoff round, forcing them to play Venezuela to see which team would face New Zealand in the fi nal. Can-ada won that game 10-0 and then later that day, topped their well-rested opponent for the gold.

For the tournament, Canada

fi nished 7-1.And they took that momen-

tum to Toronto for the Pan Am Games, where they went 7-0 and beat Venezuela 2-1 in the gold medal game on July 18.

“They are special in their own way just because we have been with this group of guys, basical-ly for the most part, since 2010,” Stuart said.

The 50-year-old Stuart was named head coach of the squad back in November, but has been involved with Team Canada in some capacity since 2006.

But Stuart — who played base-ball until he was 21 and took up softball at 16 — was coaching and managing as far back as when he played.

“I enjoy coaching and manag-ing a team probably more than I did playing,” he admitted.

He downplayed his role in helping Canada win the gold medal at both events.

“The players did it all,” Stu-art said.

“Basically, there is not a lot of coaching at this level; you are basically just managing a team and putting a line-up out and letting them play ball.”

“If you are over-coaching these guys, it doesn’t work,” Stuart added.

“They are the best in the world for a reason so go let them play and manage the game the best you can. The

only thing I could have done was screw up.”

Despite having two sons, Stu-art has never coached kids, pre-ferring to coach adults instead.

Stuart moved to Langley in 2008 and he has two hockey playing sons: 19-year-old Levi and 15-year-old Brodi.

The family moved to Langley from Squamish – Stuart and his wife Barb grew up in the small town — so his sons could pur-sue hockey.

Stuart also works with the Vancouver Giants in a fundrais-ing capacity for their education program, as well as running JSSports, which does fundrais-ing events.

Stuart will spend the rest of the summer scouting club teams in preparation for the winter when they name the new 40-man roster for Team Canada.

Bronze lining for Xtreme teams

While gold is always the goal, the Langley rep B fastball program was successful in another signifi cant feat.

The program was able to capture four bronze medals in various age groups at the provincial champion-ships earlier this month, the only association able to make that claim.

Xtreme 2003In the U12 division,

the Xtreme used dogged determination and their bench strength to fi nish third out of 16 teams at Richmond’s London Park.

Langley went 4-0 during pool play and lost twice in the playoff round to the eventual provincial champs, the Richmond Islanders, and the sil-ver medallist Surrey Storm.

The team fi nished the tourna-ment 8-2.

Xtreme 2001The Langley Xtreme U14B team

capped off a dominating season by winning bronze in Maple Ridge.

The team — which had captured six tourna-ments over the course of the season — was the top seed going into

the playoff round but the Richmond Islanders beat them

twice on their way to the gold med-al.

The Xtreme fi nished the season with an eye-popping record of 65-7.

Xtreme 1999The Langley Xtreme 1999 went

7-3 in Cloverdale to win the bronze medal in the U16B division.

Every kid dreams of scoring the overtime winner — especially with a medal on the line — and Myka Davis is one of the few who can say he made the dream a reality.

After Connor Kahle carried the ball into the offensive zone, he made a drop pass to Cody Bathgate, who rifl ed a slapshot at the Manitoba goaltender. And Davis was in the right spot at the right time, burying home the rebound with three minutes to go in the extra period and giving the Valley Ball Hock-

ey Association’s U11 Valley Gold Rush the

bronze medal with a 3-2 victory.

The teams were play-ing in the third-place game at the Western Challenge Cup earlier this month (July 16 to 19) in Surrey.

The Gold Rush had gone 3-1 in the round robin, setting up a semifi nal showdown against Ridge Meadows — who had already beaten them once in the tournament. The Gold Rush trailed 2-1 at the half, and playing their second game of the day against a rest-ed opponent, surren-dered a pair of goals in the second half to fall 4-1.

The Langley midg-et A1 Thunder edged Ridge Meadows 8-7 to capture the bronze medal.

The team was com-peting at the midg-et provincial box la-crosse championships over the weekend in

Prince George.The Thunder went

4-3 at the tournament and all seven games were decided by one goal.

Riley Richardson picked up an all-star award for his play for Langley while team-

mate Jordan Daniel was the recipient of the Warrior Fair Play

Award for the Thun-der.

Safety Tip:Over the B.C. Day long weekend, on average, four people are killed

and 530 injured in crashes in B.C. Long drives and hot summer weather can be a deadly combination that can cause driver fatigue. Take rest breaks every two hours or switch drivers to avoid driver fatigue.

Diesel will do if a hybrid is too priceyVisit the gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

‘‘While it might not be everyone’s first choice in colour, the Jetta diesel’s Toffee Brown Metallic looks like a cold glass of root beer on wheels.’’Alexandra Straub

VW has one of the most comprehensive diesel vehi-cle lineups in Canada. Mercedes-Benz offers quite a few variants, as does BMW and Chevrolet has their Cruze Diesel (Note: I’m talking about vehicles rather than trucks). If you’re looking to go further on a single tank without moving into a hy-brid, perhaps diesel might be the best option for you.VW has a plethora of cars to choose from and an SUV. Therefore, whether you need something with lots of cargo space, a sedan that looks great, or off-road ready sport ute, VW has you covered.For example, there’s the über popular Golf. The seventh generation vehicle was named the North American Car of the year for 2015. It’s not hard to see why.There are quite a few body styles to choose from whether you want a three-door, a five-door, or a Sportwagon. And both the Sportwagon and five-door give drivers the option of a 2.0L, four-cylinder, TDI engine.

Horsepower specs come in at 150, while it produces an impressive 236 lb-ft of torque. That torque is reached as low as 1,750-3,500 rpm.The main difference between the two aforementioned models is, that the Sportwagon is a new trim for 2015 and it has 860 L of cargo space. The five-door has 490L with the parcel shelf up and 670L with the shelf off.The Golf TDI has a start-ing MSRP of $23,095 and the Sportwagon starts at $24,995.

But if neither of those models tickle your fancy, consider the Jetta TDI.This four-door sedan is stylish yet yields some great fuel economy numbers; 7.7L/100km in the city and 5.2L/100km in the city. That’s on top of getting hun-dreds of kilometres out of one fill up. Starting at just $22,490, it deserves all the praise it is given.Having tested the Jetta TDI Highline trim (which starts at $29,690) you get such features 17-inch alloy wheels, a six-way power driver’s seat with manual

lumbar support, fog lights, leather seat-ing surfaces, a power sunroof, and LED signature daytime running lights.While it might not be everyone’s first choice in colour, the Jetta diesel’s Toffee Brown Metallic looks like a cold glass of root beer on wheels. Yum. I found it to be refreshing and different. As for the ride and handling, this Jetta does not disappoint. One of my favourite features – aside from the 150 horsepower and 236 horsepower from its 2.0L, turbo engine – is how it handles. The steering weight gives enough feedback to the driver to make tight turns engaging. And when paired with the DSG transmission, not only is city traffic more manageable, but less work for your left leg!If you find yourself towing a lot, or even wanting to go off the straight and narrow, consider the 2015 VW Touareg TDI. With ample room for five inside, this SUV comes with all the right touches.The refreshed interior design and styling is highly appealing to those who want a posh truck, without paying the equivalent price of its familiar equiv-alents: the Porsche Cayenne Diesel or the Audi Q7 TDI.The Touareg’s starting MSRP comes in at $55,275 and goes from there.

The Execline is the top-of-the-line trim and starts at $69,575. Okay, that’s a decent amount of coin, and it’s not for everyone, but all trims of Touareg come with the same great 3.0L, turbocharged, V6 engine offering 240 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. This engine is then linked with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The panoramic sunroof lets in a copious amount of daylight onto the Terracotta Brown Vienna Leather seats and into the cabin. A strong point of VWs as long as I can remember is how its cabin says so much

with saying so little. For example: the centre stack. The perfect com-bination of buttons and touch-screen make the infotainment so easy to use and one that is not hard to navigate.Then there’s the fuel economy.

In the city, it uses an estimated 12.0L/100km in the city and 8.1L/100km on the highway. Not bad for a vehicle that weighs in at 2,130 kg and has all-wheel drive.There are a couple more TDI options for you, too. There’s the larger Passat sedan and then there’s the funky Beetle.Visit www.vw.ca for more information.

New Ford camera sees around cornersFord is introducing new vehicle camera technol-ogy that can help see around corners even when drivers cannot, aiding in reducing driver stress and potentially averting accidents.

The new available split-view camera feature helps drivers see traffic and obstacles that enter the ve-hicle’s path from the side by display-ing a 180-degree view of the area in front of or behind a vehicle.

Split view uses real-time video feeds from 1-megapixel wide-angle lens cameras in the grille and tailgate. A tri-panel display in the 8-inch screen helps customers understand quickly whether an obstacle is coming from either side or straight on. Split view is activated at the touch of a button and automatically shuts off when vehicle speed reaches 10 km/h.

Ford introduced split view on the 2015 Ford Edge and 2016 Explorer in the United States and China. Front split view is offered on Edge. Front and rear split view comes standard in the United States on the 2016 Explorer Limited on sale now and Explorer Platinum, on sale soon. Front split view is coming to the all-new Ford S-MAX and Galaxy in Europe, available to order now. Split view will be offered on nearly all Ford SUVs globally by 2020.

A tiny telescopic jet washer keeps the front cam-era clean on every vehicle with split view. Explorer also incorporates a washer for the rear camera.

Ford plans to make rear-view cameras standard on all of its North American light passenger vehi-cles by 2018 – and front cameras available on a majority of its vehicles globally by volume by 2020 – meaning the company plans to put more than 2 million new cameras a year on the road.

Ford introduced rear-view cameras in the 2007 Expedition and now offers an available backup camera in every Ford car, SUV and light truck in North America. Backup cameras are standard in Focus, Fusion, Explorer, Escape, Edge and Mustang.

The next Ford Super Duty will offer the company’s most advanced camera technology, helping with lane-keeping assis-tance and enabling customers to see more angles around a truck and trailer than ever before.

The 2016 F-150 has up to five cameras available, the most of

any vehicle in the Ford lineup. Four cameras in F-150 are mounted in the outside mirrors, and rear and front of the vehicle to enable a 360-degree view and backup view functions.

A forward-looking camera mounted behind the rearview mirror is used to activate auto high beams and lane-keeping assist, which looks for lane deviations. The driver never sees the image from this camera, but the vehicle’s computer uses the visual signal to operate the rest of the system.

Ford cameras are tested under extreme conditions – beyond what they will endure during a typical vehicle lifetime. Each camera component is subjected to more than 1,000 hours of testing to make sure it can withstand temperature changes, humidity, dust, salt and more. Ford engineers also immerse cameras to confirm the casing does not let water leak in.
