Community steps up for beaten man

Township of Langley council sworn in – twice

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

The story of a Langley man who was beaten and robbed at the Langley City bus loop on Friday night has struck a chord with thousands of people.

Less than two days af-ter The Times wrote about Chris Lafrenier being kicked in the head and the arrest of two teens, $8,235 had been raised on a Go-fundme.com account set up for Lafrenier.

Two strangers each made $1,000 donations.

Lafrenier and his wife, Lauren Blair, are over-whelmed by the generos-ity.

“It brought tears to us all. God bless all and Merry Christmas,” writes Lafre-nier’s mother-in-law Lynn Blair on the Gofundme site.

Numerous people are creating hampers for food for the couple’s two dogs and cat, as well as food and gift cards for them.

On The Times Facebook page, there were more than 45,000 views of his story, and 273 people shared the article with friends, as of Wednesday morning.

Still in his work clothes, Lafrenier, 39, was waiting at the notoriously violent Logan Avenue bus ex-change, when two Langley teens attacked him just before midnight.

The pair, aged 15 and 19, punched the rebar worker in the face, breaking his nose, chipping a tooth, causing his eyes to swell and cutting his head.

When he fell to the ground, witnesses said he was kicked repeatedly in the head by the teens.

Police arrived to fi nd Lafrenier face down, not

moving and with a pool of blood around his head.

He was only able to open his eyes on Sunday.

He has a brain injury and won’t be able to work for an unknown amount of time. He is the sole income earner for the couple.

With the money raised, the couple plans to pay rent ahead for a few months.

Moved to help, Willough-by Town Centre Dental is offering to fi x his broken tooth for free.

Meanwhile, Langley City Mayor Ted Schaffer said he has sent Lafrenier’s story to TransLink Police for a response on safety at the bus loop.

“It’s time for TransLink to step up and do some work in Langley, not just having transit police on SkyTrain,” said Schaffer.

The City wanted to put up surveillance cameras at the bus exchange but ran into roadblocks from TransLink and the Privacy Commissioner.

But the new mayor doesn’t believe the City is doing enough at the bus exchange.

“Our police are working very hard and we have by-law offi cers on the week-ends,” he said.

He is sickened by what happened.

“How can those teenag-ers live with themselves? Can’t a person go to work and get home safe?” said Schaffer.

Meanwhile, TransLink Police say they are aware of the beating and violence erupting at the City bus loop.

A response on what transit police plan to do is forthcoming, said spokes-person Anne Drennan.

As the councillors took their seats to begin the fi rst meeting of the newly-elected Township council on Monday afternoon, Councillor Da-vid Davis could be heard cheerfully warning his new neighbours that he requires a lot of room.

Davis now sits between Council-lors Michelle Sparrow and Bob Long, the result of a change in the seating order made by Mayor Jack Froese, who decides who sits where.

After the last election, the novice mayor Froese decided to have the most experienced councillors sit closest to him, which meant Davis and Sparrow were the farthest away.

This time, Froese reversed the seating to put novice councillors Petrina Arnason, Blair Whitmarsh and Angie Quaale closest to him.

The afternoon meeting began with

the swearing-in of the new council, an quick, informal affair that saw the mayor and councillors read their oaths while seated at their desks, then adjourn for a closed-door in-camera session, followed by an hour-long public meeting on a num-ber of issues that required decisions.

The simultaneous reading of the oath by the eight councillors was a little ragged, leading veteran coun-cillor Long to call it a “Babylon.”

The evening meeting, which re-peated the swearing-in ceremony, was far more formal, with a piper and an honour guard leading coun-cil members into the chambers to be sworn in by Judge Melissa Gillespie.

During the inaugural comments, Councillor Kim Richter noted the new council had the highest per-centage of women in Langley history and predicted there would be more battles over the pace of develop-

ment in the Township, saying “new growth does not pay for itself.”

Councillor Charlie Fox cracked a joke about the new seating arrange-ment, saying “it looks like the longer you serve, the farther away you get from the mayor.”

Arnason talked about her late mother Muriel, the fi rst woman to serve on council, calling her a “per-sonal touchstone.” Muriel Arnason passed away seven years (to the day) before her daughter’s inauguration.

Blair Whitmarsh talked about watching his children grow up in Langley and how he was excited to shape the future of their communi-ty.

Angie Quaale did fi ne until she be-gan to thank her father, when she teared up and needed a moment to compose herself.

The new Township council was formally sworn in Monday night. Visible from left: Kim Richter, Charlie Fox, Petrina Arnason, Blair Whitmarsh, Mayor Jack Froese, David Davis and Bob Long.

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter

Ishtar Transition Housing Society will continue to provide service to women and children fl eeing domestic violence through its safe houses in both Aldergrove and Langley City.

The news comes after former manage-ment and ITHS board members announced last week that changes to Ishtar’s service delivery meant that it would no longer op-erate Langley’s two transition houses.

A release sent to the media last week also stated that layoff notices had been issued for Ishtar’s 33 full-time, part-time and casual employees.

The decision to restructure — which has now been overturned — was made during a meeting held on Nov. 24. Three board

members were absent from that meeting, including newly-appointed board chair John Rogers.

Following an emergency meeting, held on Sunday (Nov. 30), the ITHS board of directors accepted the resignations of seven former board members, including the former presi-dent, and appointed two new members.

The new board of directors also accept-ed a blanket resignation from the Valley Group, which had been hired to run the society, as well as from the two acting ex-ecutive directors contracted by the Valley Group to manage its operations.

In addition, the board informed the BC-GEU that no layoffs would be forthcoming.

“It’s Christmas time and we have fund-ing,” said Rogers, adding there is no reason for anyone to lose their jobs.

There is currently no executive director in place at Ishtar. Instead, operations have been taken over by four members of the board, said Rogers, who has been a director with ITHS since September.

“We’re currently just trying to sort through everything,” said Rogers.

He said the current board has the sup-port of the employees’ union as well as B.C. Housing, which provides $32 million in funding annually for transition houses and related services across B.C., including $1 million in Langley.

“The board is acting side by side with ev-ery single stakeholder.”

The society’s restructuring came after former executive director, Pat Romanin, sent out a press release last week an-nouncing the changes to Ishtar’s services

and, in a later interview, explained that the decision was made because the demand for shelter beds had decreased to the point where the beds were instead being fi lled by women with drug addiction and mental health issues, creating a dangerous situa-tion for residents and staff.

In fact, domestic violence is not on the decline in B.C. — quite the opposite — ac-cording to a joint statement released by Ishtar and the B.C. Society of Transition Houses on Monday.

The BCSTH release states that there have been 12 deaths in 2014 of women connect-ed to violent relationships, and the fi gure is double the number of deaths related to domestic violence in B.C. in 2013.

The two transition houses Ishtar oper-ates are at over 90 per cent occupancy.

Ishtar’s two transition houses will keep operating, says board

Williams ParkChristmas saved


Christmas in Williams Park could be sparkling bright for the holidays after all.

Christmas in Williams Park Soci-ety president Barb Sharp said after the outpouring of support and do-nations from the community to save the light show, she is “taking a leap of faith” and planning to light up the park and have it ready to open Dec. 11 to Dec. 21.

“It truly is a real Christmas mir-acle,” said Sharp. “The public has been donating and really want to save Christmas in Williams Park so we have to try. The Township is be-hind us and the community is too,” said Sharp.

The Township mayor and volun-teers and hopefully many members of the public will come to the offi -cial lighting of the park on Thursday, Dec. 11 at 5 p.m.

Sharp is asking for volunteers to show up on Sunday, Dec. 7, at 10 a.m. at the park to be ready to hang lights and put up infl atables. It may rain but “we have done the lights in the rain before.”

The two-day festivities of horse drawn-carriage rides and Santa can’t take place this year, but there are promises for an even bigger and

better events next year.More than $1,000 has been raised

so far, with dollars and light dona-tions coming in all the time.

It was less than two weeks ago when the society announced a Grinch had truly stolen Christmas from Williams Park and it wouldn’t be able to hold the annual light show and two-day festivities, as it had done for 22 years.

Thieves had made off with around $10,000 worth of lights stored at the park some time in October. It was the second theft in two years and one the society thought it just couldn’t come back from.

But the community spirit pre-vailed over the Grinch, and numer-ous people have been helping.

Kore Irrigation and Lighting, locat-ed at 19140 28 Ave., is offering dis-counted LED lights to purchase for the park, and is acting as a drop off station for anyone wanting to do-nate LED lights or cords. They are open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Only LED lights can be accepted for Williams Park.

Anyone interested in volunteering or in offering lights or private do-nations can email [email protected] or show up on Sunday.

Quaale went on to promise that she would con-tinue to hold community meetings to get public input.

Sparrow also got a little choked up, in her case when she was thanking defeated councillors Bev Dornan, Grant Ward and Steve Ferguson for their service.

Quaale handed Sparrow a tissue.Then it was Davis’ turn.He asked for the whole box of tissues, then

wordlessly passed it to Long, who mimed dab-bing at his eyes.

A then-serious Davis predicted there would be times when his views and views of some resi-dents would clash, that “there will be times when we will agree and we will not agree, but I will al-ways listen.”

Long thanked people who didn’t vote for him because they were “participating in the process.”

Froese singled out defeated councillor Ward, who was in the audience for the evening ceremo-ny, telling Ward that he, along with Dornan and Ferguson have all “left a mark on this commu-nity.”

Ward rose from his seat to the applause of the audience.

Froese went on to say it was clear that the pro-cess of public consultation in Langley needed improving, a reference to the controversies over development in Fort Langley and Brookswood,

and that he would be moving to create a “task force on public engagement” to see how to make it better.

The other two issues Froese identifi ed were public safety, specifi cally crime, and transporta-tion, like the need for better public transit.

Is an amino acid that aids in transforming tryptophan into serotonin. Since 5-HTP is not present in significant amounts in a typical diet, tak-ing a supplemental form can be very beneficial in improv-ing mood and sleep.

Vitamin D

Known as the sunshine vita-min, Vitamin D plays a critical role in many of the body’s systems. New research has shown it may be helpful in the prevention of depression and be beneficial to overall feelings of wellbeing.

SAMe

This compound is a critical component of many bio-chemical reactions, includ-ing those that affect brain biochemistry and joint health. It is also necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmit-ters, playing an integral role in mood regulation.

Is the changing weather getting you down? It could be the onset of Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. SAD can be caused by changes to the circadian rhythm of the body, or its biological clock. Changes in the amount of daily sunlight can disrupt the body’s natural rhythm and contribute to an imbalance in hormones like serotonin and melatonin.

An American judge has re-leased two Chilliwack residents who were arrested at the Alder-grove border crossing on Sun-day, Nov. 23 for allegedly trying to smuggle a “boxed drug lab” of methamphetamine chemicals into the U.S.

Calum James Buchanan, 40, and Lola Crystal McKay, 24, were ordered freed by a What-com County Superior Court judge in Bellingham on Mon-day, Nov. 24. The judge set bail at $50,000 for Buchanan, while releasing McKay on her own re-cognizance.

The pair were arrested after U.S. Customs and Border Pro-tection offi cers discovered the chemicals in a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am.

The car arrived at the border around 7 p.m. with “two plastic wrapped large plastic storage containers” in the back seat as well as “two gas cans with duct taping, metal strainers bear-ing white residue and a white chemical bottle,” according to an affi davit fi led by a Whatcom County deputy prosecuting at-torney.

“Inside the trunk of the ve-hicle were another plastic wrapped storage container made of plastic with what ap-peared to be a fi ve gallon buck-et.”

A U.S. customs offi cer became nauseated and vomited after breathing fumes from the ma-terials.

The crossing was shut down in both directions and the offi -cer was rushed to Saint Joseph

Medical Center in Bellingham.A Haz-Mat (hazardous ma-

terials) team was called in to remove what appeared to be chemicals and equipment used to manufacture methamphet-amine.

The offi cer was “successfully treated,” the Blaine U.S. Cus-toms and Border Protection of-fi ce said.

The border was re-opened af-ter about an hour.

According to the affi davit, Bu-chanan told investigators he was going to be paid $500 “to deliver this lab to a third party in Canada” while McKay “de-nied any knowledge that there was a boxed drug lab in the ve-hicle.”

Buchanan and McKay are scheduled to return to court in Bellingham on Friday, Dec. 5.

lot when he was attacked from behind with a punch to the head, said police. The victim lost conscious-ness and fell face fi rst into the street. The suspect proceeded to kick the vic-tim in the head before walking away.

The victim was taken

to hospital for treatment and was found to have a brain injury.

Investigators have since obtained still pho-tographs from nearby surveillance cameras. Anyone with information that may assist police can call 604-532-3200.

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

The two municipal governments in Langley are now under the control of the new councils. It was instructive to hear on Monday what the newly-elected mayors and councillors had to say about their priorities and approaches to

their duties over the next four years.Both councils have decidedly new looks. In Langley City,

Ted Schaffer is now the elected mayor and there are two new councillors, along with a familiar face from the past. Rudy Storteboom returned to council after losing his seat by a narrow margin in 2011.

In Langley Township, there are three new councillors.It is clear that the issues from the election are still front

and centre. Schaffer is promising work on a number of priorities, including public safety. He also plans to set up a task force on homelessness, which is again becoming a larger problem in Langley City, despite the many services offered by the Gateway of Hope.

Several councillors also addressed issues in their in-augural remarks, including downtown revitalization and transportation.

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese made it clear that he heard the concerns from residents about the process of giving input on development and community plans. He is promising a task force on public engagement, which will take a closer look at how and when residents have input into community plans and developments that impact their neighbourhoods.

This issue gained a lot of prominence in Brookswood earlier this year, when residents felt that changes to com-munity and neighbourhood plans that had been proposed would completely change the character of the area. Many felt they did not fi nd out about the plans until very late in the process.

Those concerns were a factor in the formation of sever-al groups which tried to oust some members of council, and indeed they were successful in defeating three in-cumbents. It was the fi rst time since 2002 that incumbent councillors had been defeated in Langley Township.

Several councillors also referred to concerns about how services in Willoughby have not kept up with the pace of development, and about issues relating to the preserva-tion of agricultural land.

Members of Langley Township council were already at odds in their afternoon meeting — even before the formal inaugural meeting. There will be a lot of lively debate in the next four years.

There’s nothing democratic about making the public the fall guy for not funding signifi -cant improvements to regional transit.

But that appears to be what the B.C. govern-ment is trying to do with its insistence the

mayors’ council on regional transportation meet a Dec. 11 deadline to come up with a referendum question.

It’s a riddle worthy of the Brothers Grimm. For the ref-erendum to succeed, the mayors have to come up with a pretty magical question indeed.

It must not only garner public support for the council’s 10-year transit expansion strategy (including two light-rail lines for Surrey, more bridges and many more buses), but also propose a funding approach (read: tax or levy) that will somehow be instantly palatable to the electorate.

There’s such a thing as canvassing the public. There’s also such a thing as being set up to fail, and the mayors argue this is just what is happening to them.

If the referendum fails, they fear, transit planning in the region could be set back by a decade, at least. And the B.C. government, presumably, will stand pat on the excuse that the people were asked, and this was the will of the people.

The provincial government has its own ideas, of course, about what it is prepared to do. As Metro Vancouver direc-tors have pointed out, the provincial plan heavily favours highway construction — no doubt with appropriate feel-good photo-ops — over dealing with thorny transit issues.

The way forward out of the current transit quagmire is not an easy one.

— Peace Arch News

Safety going to the dogsIt appears law-abiding citizens

have lost another battle. The civil liberties folks have persuaded our provincial government to rein in police dogs. The B.C. government has introduced new rules for the training and deployment of police dogs, months after a report singled out dog bites as the leading cause of injuries.

The Pivot Legal Society released a report that concluded police dogs are the leading cause of injury by RCMP and municipal forces in B.C. and, apparently the bad guys are upset that they are getting bitten when fl eeing from crimes where they have beaten, stabbed or shot someone, or stolen something from some law-abiding citizen.

The study found that police forces should train service dogs with a method called “circle and bark” as opposed to the other leading technique that sees the dogs “bite-and-hold.”

Now, introducing new methods into any organization is always a challenge. For instance, the fi re service has long been known as an organization with 200 years of tradition unimpeded by progress. We never liked to do things differently and learning new techniques was always a chore.

I can only imagine Moses walking down that mountain with the 10 Command-ments thinking, “The boys aren’t going to be happy about these changes.”

So the press has been told about these new changes for police dogs, the public and the police forces have been told, but has anyone told the police dogs?

This reporter sat down with two experi-enced German shepherd police dogs, Rex and Major, the president and vice-presi-dent of the Canine Rescue and Police Dogs Organization (CRAPDON). They had only

heard rumors about the changes and when I informed them they were now offi cial, their ears perked up.

“You know,” said Rex, shaking his head, rattling his collar. “We’re do-ing our job and we end up in the dog house. I suppose one day soon we’ll get a call to come to the train-ing ground and some old sergeant, close to retirement, will order us all to ‘sit, stay,’ and then deliver a 20 minute Power Point on how not to

hurt the Bad Guys.“The young pups might pay attention for

a while but for guys like Major and I, well, you can’t teach old dogs new tricks.”

“They are saying we have to practise more restraint,” barked Major. “Do you have any idea how much restraint we show now when we are in a ditch holding some scumbag carjacker by his kibbles and bits and not giving him a K-9 vasectomy? We are highly trained to bring these jerks to the ground.”

“I think it is all about cost-saving,” growls Rex. “We big breeds eat a lot and we have to be transported in big SUVs. If they go to this ‘circle and bark program,’ they can re-spond with Yorkies in Smart cars. I’m not sure how effective that will be but, mind you, if some gangbanger is cornered by a yappy little mutt with pink ribbons in her ears who just won’t shut up, he may sur-render.”

Major summed it up, “Everyone is pro-tecting the bad guys. Right now, in the dark, on the ground, we’re the only ones concerned with protecting the public.”

The civil liberties people are trying to convince us that a dog’s bark is worse than his bite.

When it comes to your safety, don’t be-lieve it. At least that’s what McGregor says.

Anti-pipeline protesters may bedestroying their futures

Editor: Are anti-oil, anti-progress anti-Canadian econo-my protesters destroying their future employment oppor-tunities?

Are young idealistic protesters and natives being turned into puppets, and used by the sophisticated big money en-vironmental lobby?

Eco-organizations employ provocative agents who orga-nize the protests, and those individuals may also be lim-iting their future chances of being employed in industry or commerce.

Most employers today will do a Google and social me-dia search of job applicants to help assess their social be-haviour and character.

We are really naïve to the amount of personal identity information being collected and stored in huge metadata bases. Canadians are the biggest users of social media in the world and some security experts think we are careless to post so much personal info on Facebook and Twitter.

With all the sophisticated surveillance technology and the desire for governments to watch us, since 9-11, it’s al-most certain that provocative protesters are being docu-mented.

Some radical protests against our infrastructure may be perceived as economic sedition, and insurgent anarchy

that could threaten national sovereignty.Those who attended the Burnaby Mountain protest with

cars likely had their licence plates scanned.“The protection and security of critical infrastructure

falls within the mandate of the BC Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (E-INSET). Any and all tips re-ported to us are followed up on to the fullest extent,” a press release states.

Canada is part of U.S.A.’s ‘Homeland Security’ on their National Security Agency (NSA) map, and they collect nearly everything a user does on the internet.

Communications Security Establishment of Canada (CSEC). Canada’s electronic spy agency, admits it inciden-tally spies on Canadians while targeting foreign entities.

It’s become well known that the foreign funded anti-oil eco-lobby is targeting Canadian oil because they don’t protest against American, OPEC, or Russian oil, only Cana-dian oil and pipelines.

One of the privileges of being old is our precious free-dom to express one’s opinion, as it’s not as if we have to worry about being branded or getting fi red.

Thanks for helping

Wonderful care

Editor: My spouse was attacked at the Langley bus loop on Friday by two young guys. His harness and the gear for his job were stolen. He was beaten to a pulp.

He has a broken nose, concussion, stitches over the eyebrow, broken teeth, a minor fracture to the jaw and eyes so swollen he can’t see. He will most likely be un-able to work for quite a while.

A lady at the bus stop called 911. I would like to thank her. She saved my spouse’s life.

The police were able to recover his gear, which for an iron worker adds up quickly, and apprehend two sus-pects. We are waiting to hear if they got the right guys.

Again, I would like to thank the lady who called po-lice, scared the thugs off and most likely saved his life, as he already had injuries to the brain.

I wish all the best to those who helped my hubby and wish all the best to those who have encountered the same experience while at the Langley bus loop.

LAUREN BLAIR,LANGLEY

Editor: A parent’s worst nightmare is having to take their child, no matter what age, to the emergency room. I just lived that nightmare last week.

After having a cold and a fever for more than three days, I took my little lethargic one-year-old to the ER at Langley Memorial Hospital. We got there by 4:30 p.m., and it looked like half of Langley was in there with me.

My son’s name was called for the nurse in the ER to take more information and to asses him. After check-ing his temperature of 39.0 and seeing his red eyes, we were inside the ER in 15 minutes.

My son was treated for fever and was sent for X-rays. The doctor then explained that my little baby had pneumonia and we would be spending the night. I broke down in tears. This doctor touched my shoulder and reassured me that he was not concerned and kids get sick fast and get better fast.

“Don’t worry,” I was told.After blood work and more assessments, it was

found that the RSV virus is what made my little boy so sick. For fi ve days, we stayed in the hospital with IV and oxygen. On day three, he then had an ear and si-nus infection. It was what felt like a long road, but the RNs and Dr. Poynter who took care of Nico made our stay less worrisome. They all told us he will get better.

We are now home, and he has a cough, but he is on the road to recovery.

I wanted to thank the beautiful RNs on the Pediatric Unit: Kate(who stayed overtime in putting the IV on for Nico, and said “he’s worth it), Julie, Katie, Marilyn and Dr. Poynter for taking such great care with a personal touch.

I was surprised at how quickly our little Nico got in-side the ER and up to the Pediatric Unit. Langley Me-morial Hospital should be recognized.

I am “One Happy Mamma.”

It has been 15 years since I wrote a commentary objecting to the B.C. government pushing aside its own hard-won treaty process to reach an unprece-dented land-and-cash settle-ment with the Nisga’a Nation for their ancient Nass River ter-ritory.

My objection, and that of many others, was the imposition of a parallel state with collectively owned land enshrined for all time. This was an ailing NDP government rushing to enable a property ownership system that has demonstrated little but failure and suffering around the world.

The Nisga’a are proving me wrong, and this was again demonstrated at a little-noticed ceremony at the B.C. legislature last week.

The B.C. government had just passed amendments to allow a gas pipeline through Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park, the fi rst co-managed provincial park in B.C. history. Another bill enabled the Nisga’a Lisims government to impose industrial property tax on liquefi ed natural gas pro-duction. Legal documents were signed so the Nisga’a legislature can do the same this week.

In recent years, the Nisga’a disposed of concern about col-lective land restrictions by adopting a private property system. And Supreme Court of Canada decisions have repeat-edly answered protests about the establishment of a parallel state – that’s what it is, so get

used to it.The Nisga’a have

moved to assemble four fee-simple tidewa-ter sites for LNG termi-nals, joining the Haisla Nation at Kitimat in reaching aggressively for a modern economy through gas export. The Nisga’a have partnered with TransCanada Corp. on a 900-km pipeline to supply the $11-billion LNG proj-ect led by Petronas for the Prince Rupert port. And they don’t in-tend to stop there.

“We want to be part of the Ca-nadian business establishment,” said former Nisga’a Nation pres-ident Joe Gosnell.

The signing ceremony was briefl y disrupted by one of a small group of Vancouver-based Nisga’a who have been using modern protest tactics against this decision. We weren’t con-sulted, it’s a desecration of vic-tims of a volcanic eruption, it’s a threat to eelgrass beds, and so forth, say well-rehearsed young men with video cameras run-ning.

Nisga’a President Mitchell Stevens has patiently and re-peatedly explained that Nisga’a legislature rules were relaxed to allow every hereditary chief to speak to elected leaders on this pivotal move. After that it received the required two-thirds majority support.

Gosnell, the revered chief ne-gotiator who carried the treaty over the goal line in 2000, moved

slowly with the help of an ornately carved cane to speak at a reception. He seemed genuinely surprised that he has lived long enough to see the fruits of generations of labour.

Gosnell recounted the 1887 paddling trip down the B.C. coast from the Nass Valley to Victoria to present the Nisga’a ter-

ritorial claim, where the tribal leaders were turned away on the steps of the legislature by Pre-mier William Smithe. It would take until 1910 for Prime Min-ister Wilfrid Laurier to promise a settlement, and until 1949 for Nisga’a Chief Frank Calder to be elected to the B.C. legislature.

In 2000, when the treaty re-ceived royal assent in Ottawa, Gosnell took part in a ceremoni-al burning of the Indian Act and got to work on implementing self-government.

And on Nov. 27, 2014, B.C. Liberal, NDP and independent MLAs voted unanimously to open the way to an industrial future for the Nisga’a.

“That’s what being alive means to me today,” Gosnell said. “You’ve got to have big dreams. Maybe all those dreams won’t come true, but at least you have the ability to dream big. And boy, are we ever dreaming big.”

JAMES INGLISAldergrove Star

Almost 500 people spent four hours in a conference room at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday, Nov. 8 to listen to in-ternational speaker, author, farmer, and agricultural freedom of choice advocate Joel Salatin share advice and his unique outlook on the the future of food and farming.

The event was hosted by the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation. Salatin, based in the Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia, is the owner of Poly-face Farms, “a family-owned, multi-generational, pasture based, beyond organic, local farm.”

Salatin sees many of the prob-lems facing today’s farmer as a result of government interfer-ence and the growing infl uence of urban culture.

Salatin said modern culture believes, farming has become “obnoxious, noisy, smelly, a blight on the land,” and this has resulted in farming and its re-

lated services being separated from the people.

He believes this “segregation” of farming away from its relat-ed support systems and asso-ciated agricultural industries has resulted in increased costs, reduced profi ts and decreased effi ciencies.

Salatin also told the crowd that the future for successful farming relies on “an integration between production and mar-kets.”

He also argued that the place of the farmer must no longer be minimized in society.

“Rather than a farmer be-ing just a colonial peasant serf who produces raw commodities to be value added, promoted, marketed, exported, distributed and graphic artist-advertised by other people in the urban cen-tre who essentially take all the money, I am a big believer in the agrarian intellectual and the honoured farmers,” he said.

“Farmers get what they think they deserve, and if you think farmers are the low socio-eco-

nomic plain of a culture, then you will be.

“I tell farmers, ‘Go get a suit. You need to be the best and brightest, not the dumbest and socio-economic disadvan-taged.’”

For farming to prosper, Salatin said, there needs to be a reduc-tion in government legislation in how farmer can do business.

He advocates less zoning re-strictions on how farmland can be used. He called for an end to marketing boards and quotas and the elimination of what he describes as the “food police”.

Salatin spoke to the great im-portance of farmers looking to their own farming practices to fi nd ways to modernize their farms in environmentally safe, but effi cient ways, and to fi nd and eliminate ineffi ciencies that may be reducing the profi tability of their business.

In addition to the keynote speaker, local farm operators Juila Smith from Urban Digs and Chris Bodnar of Close to Home Organics gave presentations.

International speaker, author and farmer Joel Salatin spoke to a standing room only crowd on the future of food and farming on Saturday, Nov. 8 at the Langley Events Centre. It was hosted by the Langley Sus-tainable Agriculture Foundation.

I received an interesting letter from a reader. She writes about going to a recent Diwali function in Mission and describes that 99 per cent of the Punjabis were rude. She describes that people were blocking her view and had no concern for others.

She also says that no one should be allowed to come to this coun-try unless they speak one of our offi cial languages. She also talks about how Punjabi children just entering school cannot speak English properly or do not behave, and the parents pay no attention to what the teachers say.

At the end of her letter she says she has many Punjabi friends and they all agree that most of the Punjabis have no manners and don’t know how to behave properly.

Well, enough said.I am Punjabi and I’m very proud to be one. I am

not saying we Punjabis don’t have any issues to overcome, like any other community groups, but to say 99 per cent of of us are rude is far from the truth and statistically incorrect.

I do agree, we have many people who cannot speak the English language, but that doesn’t de-fi ne us as Canadians.

Punjabis are noted to be among the most gen-erous people on the planet, who donate annually to many charities. I posted this letter on my Face-book to gather a community response and many agreed that the Punjabi community is always willing to help to make our community a better place. You cannot judge a few, for many.

This is the one of the diffi culties of living in a multicultural community. People often get trapped with this narrow-mindedness and can’t see that everyone is not the same and shouldn’t be painted with the same brush.

Some thought I shouldn’t respond to her, but I believed that it was important to bring this discussion forward and create a level of un-derstanding in a respectful manner. That’s how we’re going to see change, not by hiding it in a corner of darkness.

Cycling4Diversity executive co-ordinator Anne-Marie Sjoden said: “I had the opportunity to visit a couple of the Punjabi schools during our ride, and each and every student spoke very good English. The teachers had amazing comments about their students.

From Page 15“A very good friend is a principal at a Punja-

bi school. He has never said there are problems with kids not knowing English. In fact he has said quite the opposite, and told me that the parents are very involved. I would have to disagree with the comment about 99 per cent of the Punjabi community being rude. I have always felt very welcomed at the temple.”

Kevin Francis said: “In 2003, the human genome project came to what should have been a stagger-ing conclusion: we are all related.

“I know from experience that adapting to a new cultural milieu is diffi cult without having to live up to arbitrary standards, indeed that’s why we, as a country, support multiculturalism; but inte-gration cannot be achieved upon a designated schedule. Each one of us learns at our own pace.

“Let’s not fall into the trap of intolerance be-cause of cultural ignorance. It spawns an all too slippery slope that makes us forget what Dr. Francis Collins said at the end of the human ge-nome project: indeed there is but one race, the

human race.”“After reading the strongly worded letter, it

strengthened my belief in Safe Harbour training for people who don’t recognize diversity in their communities,” said Rick Rake, Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) coordinator for Mission Com-munity Services Society’s four-member Settle-ment and Integration Department.

“For anyone sharing these kind of beliefs, I challenge them to check out the Safe Harbour, Respect for All, website atwww.safeharbour.ca,” said Rake, who has witnessed far too many breaches of positive relationships with people who are different in terms of culture, ethnicities, religions, languages, abilities, ages, genders, and sexual orientations.

“We should strive to connect more meaningful-ly with one another by making an effort to under-stand our differences and similarities,” he said.

The House of Miss Rose is closing her doors. After 57 years as a hairdresser, business owner, educator and wig maker, Miss Rose is going to retire.

At 75 years of age, the easier life is calling and she more than deserves it.

She said she is sad to go, but her legs can’t take any more standing on hard concrete fl oors.

“I’m going to write a book about my 57 years in the hair business,” she told The Times.

On Tuesday, Nov. 25, she was bustling through her shop, dispensing hugs and words of encouragement.

“Everyone can be what they want to be,” she told a visitor.

Some of her staff looked a little teary-eyed, and so did Miss Rose.

The House of Miss Rose Hair Salon and Wig Shop has been on 56 Avenue in Langley City for 10 years.

There have been many changes over the years, but the business has grown and the name “Miss Rose” has become well known in the community and beyond.

Miss Rose has gained a reputation for her warmth, generosity and experience as well as for really caring for the cancer patients who have come in for a wig.

‘Nobody knows wigs like Miss Rose,’ is a common sentiment. Over the last 10 years she has helped hundreds of people with their hair loss concerns and many still come back to the shop just to say hi and thank you.

Miss Rose has always been a keen community supporter, but as she says, “That

goes both ways.” Miss Rose’s shop

has been broken into several times over the past fi ve years.

The last break-in was especially traumatic, but many members of the community made donations of money and product to help get the business up and running again.

There was one local organization who put fi lm on the windows to make them virtually

unbreakable. Also, students from

a technical school in Maple Ridge who were studying metal fabrication, designed and made metal bars for the windows.

To these people she sends special hugs.

Closing her doors is going to be a sad time for Miss Rose, but as she says, “I’ve had 57 years in an industry I love and wanted to be a part of ever since I can remember, but I

think at 75 I’ve earned some quiet time. Even I get tired once in a while”.

Her doors may be closing but she wants people to know she has inventory to be sold. Starting Dec. 2, everything in the shop will be on sale at 25 per cent off the regular price.

The House of Miss Rose is at 20700 56 Ave. The website is thehouseofmissrose.com.

Miss Rose has carried this desktop motto with her for 57 years in the “hair business.” She plans to retire and write a book.

Be Prepared: Winter Safety TipsWorking together, we can all make a difference to improve safety during winter snowfalls and storms.

• Remove vehicles parked on the road in front of your property so municipal vehicles can complete work.

• Avoid or delay driving whenever possible until snowfall slows or stops entirely.

• Plan for increased travel time to your destination and ensure your vehicle is properly equipped.

• Clear snow from the sidewalk adjacent to your property as soon as possible.

• Place snow shoveled from your sidewalk and driveway onto your lawn to the right of the driveway, on the side the snow plow passes last, to avoid it being pushed back into the driveway.

• Walk on the left side of the road facing traffi c so that you can see, hear, and avoid oncoming traffi c.

• Caution children against playing in or near roadside snowbanks.

• Caution children against playing sports on roads when roads are being sanded and plowed.

For more information on our winter program, visit tol.ca/stormresponse. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter (@LangleyTownship) for regular updates from the Township. To learn more about the Snow and Ice program, visit our YouTube channel for video demonstrations.

For another year, Mary Lou Robert-son, the self-named ‘Pyjama Fairy,’ has a goal to outfi t every child reg-istered at the Langley Christmas Bu-reau with a pair of cozy PJs.

“For many children, receiving a new pair of Christmas pyjamas has become a holiday tradition,” said Robertson.

“For others, meeting their family needs at Christmas has become a struggle.

“The goal of this fundraiser is to donate pyjamas to children of low income families. New jammies on Christmas are guaranteed to bring a smile to their faces and warmth to their hearts.”

But with an estimated 1,200 chil-dren registered — it’s a lofty goal.

“We can do this, I know it,” said

Robertson, who has collected more than 220 pairs from her places of work so far.

She works at the 8-1-1 Nurses Line (HealthLink), and staff there are into their second year of donating PJs.

Robertson also works at the Lang-ley RCMP where 100 pairs have come in so far. Her daughter’s Grade 7 class at Langley Fine Arts has al-ready donated 30.

But her big push will come when she stands outside Walmart in Lang-ley on Dec. 6 and 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., collecting donated pyjamas.

She is asking for boys and girls pjs, sizes 2 to 15, but teen pyjamas are also needed.

She encourages others to do this as an offi ce challenge. She can col-lect them if that takes place.

If you want to donate PJs, email [email protected].

Go wild this Christ-mas and help out in-jured and orphaned B.C. wildlife at the same time.

Langley’s Critter Care Wildlife Society is hold-ing its annual shopping spree inside their edu-cation centre, offering tons of great Christmas gift ideas. There are plenty of new must-haves like the bear head slippers ($10) and mittens that look like real bear paws.

Avoid the crowds, Critter Care is located at 481 216 St., and is open Dec. 1 to 14 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

There are also paw print umbrellas, ani-mal socks, hoodies and calendars showing all this year’s animals that have been rescued, from fawns and a baby coyote to a fl ying squir-

rel baby, bear cubs and river otter.

“We have 12 cubs with us right now,” said Critter Care founder Gayle Martin.

Also staying over winter are three river otters and 30 raccoon babies.

All the proceeds from the Christmas shop-ping help feed the hun-

gry animals through winter.

Critter Care rescues orphaned B.C. wildlife and rehabilitates them, returning them to the wild when they are ready.

The non-profi t soci-ety relies on donations to keep them up and running. For more info, call 604-530-2064.

Eleven-year-olds Madeline Hagen, Jasmine Robertson, Rhiana Antoniuk-Davies, and Danika Oreskovic brought pyjamas to Langley Christmas Bureau last year.

Livia Homes by Ascentia Properties and the use of Fortis

Roomy parkhomes in Clayton, Surrey’s most sought-after neighbourhoodIt is no secret that the Fraser Valley

is one of the most beautiful places in B.C. – with it’s sprawling green land-scapes and wide-expanse of mountain ranges.

Not only is Th e Grove built by award-winning Townline Homes in the desirable Clayton Heights neighborhood, but its optimal use of green space keeps the grass beneath

your feet and the mountains out your window.

Th e Grove uses a unique ‘two-ringed’ site design, meaning that almost every home faces green space; those on the outer ring will back onto a park or greenway, and homes on the inner ring will face a beautifully forested grove. Th e Grove’s natural set-ting is located amongst city greenbelts,

off ering a wide variety of outdoor experiences right at your doorstep.

“From walking your dog through-out the many trails, to playing with your little ones at the large outdoor playground, to bird watching at the two surrounding ponds, Th e Grove will awaken anyone’s love for the outdoors,” says Sales Manager, Elise Sangster. “Th e Grove’s proximity to

wonderful parks, ponds, trail systems and onsite amenities, such as an out-door swimming pool, fl oor hockey and fully stocked gyms, really off ers an all-around appeal to any type of buyer.”

Some homes are even situated on a gentle slope so residents will enjoy views of the Fraser Val-ley and Mount Baker. It’s that prime location combined with intel-ligent design that makes the 141 roomy parkhomes in Surrey’s most sought-aft er neighborhood a point of envy now and into the future.

“Th e Grove is inhabited by young couples and young families which internally creates a vibrant vibe

within a community you immediate-ly want to call home,” says Sangster. “Th e Grove has a selected amount of homes currently completed but with a wide variety of homes that will be

move in ready come this January 2015.”

When you say yes to Th e Grove, you are saying yes to the best of the Fraser Valley right at your door-step.

Th e Grove’s Sales Cen-tre and Display Homes are

located at #1-19433 68 Ave, Surrey and are open every day

except Friday’s from 12-5pm. Th e site will be closed as of De-

cember 22nd 2014 for the holidays, and will be re-open Saturday, January 3rd 2015.

Before delving into what makes Ascentia Properties’ newest development “Livia,” extra special, it’s important to fi rst take a look at the fundamentals. Occupying an exclusive niche on the eastern edge of Rich-mond’s thriving centre, this collection of luxury family townhomes hold a charm of their own.. As a matter of fact, “delightful” would be the perfect word used to describe them.Th eir high-end fi nishing give residents a feel for the high life, while still providing everything that a family looks for in a home - a close-knit community and a comfortable place to call their own. With Livia homes, a little extra space goes a long way, which is why every home has a balcony, courtyard or roof deck, and natural gas hook-up on the ground fl oor patio. Also, the ga-rages of these units have radiant fl oor heating with separate thermostat controllers.Once inside, enjoy state-of-the-art full size stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, designer laminate fl ooring and natural gas radiant fl oor heating. For peace of mind, all homes come with a fi re sprinkler system and National Home Warranty. Now you may have noticed the mention of natural gas, and

that brings us back to what makes these homes extra special. Th e Ascentia team has developed more than 200 single-fam-ily homes and has close to a century of experience to draw from, in both residential and commercial development. With keeping quality and luxury in mind, Ascentia Properties pro-vides innovative concepts to their homes, which is why they have chosen natural gas for their developments.Sales Representative of Multiple Realty Ltd., Michael Bir says this is because it provides a clean, reliable, and aff ordable fuel source to help integrate the demands of consumers. Livia homes boast many uses of natural gas, such as cook-ing (gas range), a BBQ hook-up (think – you never have to refi ll a tank), and radiant in-fl oor heating that keeps your fl oor warm and your spaces heated longer. Th is comfort comes from knowing the homes are equipped with a superior Viessmann high-effi ciency boiler system that also provides hot water on demand. But according to Bir, the benefi ts don’t end there. “Busy young families will appreciate the convenience of natural gas cooking as it is off ers faster cooking times, and it gives homes an even warmth and comfort that electric heat can’t match,” he says. “Precise temperature control and zoned

heating options make natural gas an energy effi cient choice that’s preferred by homeowners.”Want to sauté, simmer and sizzle like a pro? “In the kitchen, a natural gas range gives infi nite temperature settings and instant fl ame control, while other natural gas appliances enhance your comfortable lifestyle,” he says. “Plus, natural gas versus electric adds to a homes resale value.” How about saving money on your energy bills?From heating and power, to indoor and outdoor appliances, natural gas will lessen a home’s environmental footprint without compromising style or ambiance. While heating a home or using appliances to heat water can consume an average of 78 per cent of the total energy used in the house, natural gas space heating equipment are up to 98 per cent effi cient. However, the benefi ts of switching to gas go beyond the cost.During a power outage, your home will stay heated long and you will still be able to cook dinner.Reliable natural gas is always there when you need it, safe, and easy to use, all while saving time and money.For more information about Ascentia Properties’ newest development “Livia,” visit … www.liviahomes.com

Mysfi t Fitness is inviting the public to attend a new studio cel-ebration on Saturday afternoon.

The studio offers an opportu-nity for women seeking an al-ternative form of exercise that is both sexy and challenging, including pole dance, burlesque lessons, chair dance and aerial hoop.

Mysfi t Fitness is moving to Langley from Surrey because the previous studio proved to be too small for the growing business.

The new studio is located at #8 6263 202 St.

The grand opening events run

on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. and guests will get to see Mysfi t Fit-ness’ certifi ed instructors and students in action with fun mini-class demonstrations. They will also have the chance to speak with instructors and students.

The event also coincides with the business’ annual food bank drive, so people are asked to bring non-perishable donations.

For more information, call 604-928-5737 or visit www.mysfi t-ness.com.

OpenRoad Auto Group has been recognized as one of the best Cana-dian companies to work for as part of the 50 Best Employers in Canada survey. The annual survey ranked OpenRoad eighth out of 50 top Ca-nadian employers, making this the third time in fi ve years that the B.C.-based automotive retail group has received the prestigious desig-nation.

Conducted by Aon Hewitt, a glob-al fi rm specializing in human re-source solutions, the 2015 list of the country’s 50 best employers was compiled based on responses from nearly 350,000 employees in 259 participating private and pub-lic-sector organizations.

The annual survey measures em-ployee engagement based on their levels of commitment and how

motivated they are by their compa-ny’s leaders, managers, culture and values.

Employees at OpenRoad Auto Group reported high levels of en-gagement in all categories, citing examples of specialized programs that support professional develop-ment, along with exemplary sys-tems for employee recognition, in-ternal communications and special employee events.

“At OpenRoad, we not only put our customers fi rst but also our employees,” said Christian Chia, president and CEO of OpenRoad Auto Group. “For us, it’s a practice that creates positive, supportive work environments which foster happy, motivated employees who, in turn, are building loyal custom-er relationships at each one of our

dealerships.”OpenRoad Auto Group’s recently

opened its newest Porsche retail centre, OpenRoad Porsche Langley.

Altogether, OpenRoad employs about 115 people in Langley, with 30 more hires planned in 2015.

•••Coast Capital Savings Credit

Union’s corporate culture has once again been named one of the 10 most admired in Canada.

Waterstone Human Capital con-ducted the annual evaluation of workplace cultures in organiza-tions across the country.

The credit union, which was also a winner in 2011, has been recog-nized in the fi rm’s mid-market cat-egory.

“Coast Capital’s employee prom-ise is to change the way our 1,600

employees feel about work, forever, and this recognition shows we’re delivering on this commitment,” said Don Coulter, the new president and CEO for the B.C.-based credit union.

He was appointed to the role last month (Nov. 25) after serving in an interim capacity.

“We know that a strong corporate culture translates into a better ser-vice experience for our members, because happy employees provide an exceptional member experi-ence.”

“The culture at Coast Capital is truly about changing the way Ca-nadians feel about banking forev-er. There is incredible pride in the company, which sets them apart from traditional fi nancial services organizations,” said Marty Parker,

CEO of Waterstone and chair of the Canada’s 10 program.

“We strive to be one of the leading choices for Canadian job seekers, whether they are senior-level ex-ecutives or just starting off in their careers,” said Coulter.

“We know one of the factors candidates look for in deciding be-tween opportunities is corporate culture and that certainly was the case when I came to Coast Capital nearly six years ago. We offer a cul-ture that allows our employees to contribute to our success, to grow with us, and have a voice in the di-rection and future of our organiza-tion.

“This award provides affi rmation that, as a team, we have something pretty special here at Coast Capital and we are very proud of that.”

OpenRoad, Coast Capital both earn honours

The Trinity Western Spartans volleyball teams closed the fi rst semester of the Canada West season with a pair of victories apiece, and top fi ve rankings in the country.

The men’s team beat the Cal-gary Dinos 3-2 and 3-0 over the weekend and are ranked fourth in Canada with a record of 10-4.

The women also took both of their matches against Calgary,

3-0 and 3-2. They are also 10-4 on the season and ranked fi fth.

The women’s team has now won seven consecutive match-es following a four-game losing streak.

The games were played at the Langley Events Centre on Nov. 28 and 29.

And in the second of those games for the Spartan wom-en, it looked like their winning streak was in jeopardy as Cal-gary won the fi rst two sets, 25-17 and 25-23.

“We talked about what kind of tone we wanted to leave the semester with,” said Spartans coach Ryan Hofer on his team’s focus after losing the second set.

“We wanted to leave it on a high. We wanted to leave it all out there and come back to the locker room having done ev-erything you could to help this team be successful.”

But the Spartans rallied with 25-19 and 25-15 wins before edging the Dinos 15-13 in the decisive set.

Micaylee Pucilowski was a big factor in the fi fth set as she col-lected four kills and one block.

“We were looking to bring peo-ple’s strengths,” Hofer said “We were looking for an edge and Micaylee is a player who has been performing really well for us and Calgary hadn’t seen her. We thought we’d take a chance and she went off.”

Sophie Carpentier led the Spartans with 21 kills and a pair of aces while Kristen Moncks had 17 digs.

Nikki Cornwall had 53 assists while guiding the Spartan of-fence to a .263 hitting percent-

age.In Friday’s straight-sets vic-

tory — 25-21, 25-20 and 25-16 — Carpentier had 10 kills and three aces while Alicia Perrin had six kills and four blocks. Katelyn Devaney had fi ve kills and fi ve blocks.

The Spartans men’s team has won three in a row after taking both matches versus Calgary.

The team won 3-2 (25-10,22-25,22-25,25-19,15-10) on Friday and 3-0 (25-11,25-18,25-21) on Saturday.

Nick Del Bianco played a big role in both victories.

After delivering seven aces the fi rst night, he had four more on Saturday, plus 15 kills, seven digs and four blocks.

“Nick wanted to make he was sharp from start to fi nish,” said Spartans coach Ben Josephson. “I thought he had a great re-solve and his decision making was awesome. He managed the tough spots really well. He was dialed in. I thought he passed really well and he had a cou-ple of amazing solo blocks. That was probably the most complete match he’s played in all phases.”

Ryan Sclater led the team on Friday with 18 kills while Del Bi-anco had 13 kills and four blocks. Daniel Grant had nine blocks and seven kills and Schriemer had 48 assists. He had another 34 assists the second night.

As a team, the Spartans hit .304 in the fi ve-set victory, com-pared to just .090 for the Dinos.

The North Island Silvertips proved to be a more diffi cult op-ponent than expected, but the Valley West Hawks still earned three of a possible four points in BC Hockey Major Midget League play last weekend at the Langley Events Centre.

The Hawks tied the 10th-place Silvertips 2-2 Saturday evening, then won 5-3 Sunday morning to improve to 11-6-3 (won-lost-tied). North Island fell to 2-14-4.

“We were a depleted squad with four regulars out of the lineup,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung, noting defencemen Ian Ross and Spencer Berry, both from Semiahmoo Minor Hockey, were out with injury while two other players were serving sus-pensions.

“(North Island) came in as a desperate squad. We didn’t give very much up on Saturday but managed to cough up two gold-en opportunities on which North Island capitalized.”

The Silvertips led 2-1 after 40 minutes. Matt Barberis of White Rock scored the fi rst Hawks goal

midway through the second pe-riod which tied the game 1-1. He tallied his second of the game with 2:39 to go.

“Our cap-tain (Barber-is) was a sta-bilizing force for us down the stretch and scored two big pow-er play goals for us to salvage a tie,” said Leung.

“Each shot was almost identi-cal — Barberis took a hard pass from the half wall and bombed a slap shot post and in both times.”

The Hawks trailed 1-0 early in the fi rst period before James Malm went to work.

The Langley forward assisted on goals by White Rock’s Ben Evanish and Christian Bosa of Langley, before scoring himself for a 3-1 Hawks lead.

North Island cut the difference to 3-2 just before the fi rst inter-

mission, but Daniel Chifan of Cloverdale netted the e v e n t u a l winner mid-way through the game.

The Silver-tips again r e d u c e d the lead to a goal, then Tyson Talhan of Surrey com-pleted the scoring with

three minutes to go in the sec-ond period. Malm collected his third assist of the game on the fi nal goal.

“We made a switch in our for-ward lines putting Evanish with Malm and Bosa,” said Leung. “The three combined on our fi rst two goals and really got the ball rolling.”

The Hawks will host the Koo-tenay Ice (3-15-2) this weekend, with games scheduled for 8:15 p.m. Saturday in the South Sur-rey Arena and 11 a.m. Sunday at the Langley Events Centre.

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME!

Dr. Cheung, DMD Dentist

Q: Help! I’ve just knocked out my front tooth while playing sports. What do I do?

A: First of all, don’t panic. Stay calm and follow these steps:1. Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown (the white part) – avoid touching the

root. If the tooth is dirty, briefl y rinse it under cold running water, for a maximum of 10 seconds.

2. Replant the tooth back into the empty socket (parents, please encourage and help your child to do so). Bite onto a handkerchief to hold the tooth in position.

3. If this is not possible (e.g. patient is unconscious, child is very young), place the tooth into a glass of milk as soon as possible. If you have saline or Hanks Balanced Salt Solution, then it is preferable to store the tooth in these solutions instead. Avoid storage in water! The tooth can also be kept inside the lip or cheek (in saliva) – this is only safe to do so if the patient is conscious and not too young, otherwise the tooth may be accidentally swallowed.

4. Call your dentist for emergency treatment right away.With hockey season and other contact sports in full swing, it’s important to play safe and protect your teeth with a properly fi tted sports guard. Dental injuries can be traumatizing, and costly to fi x. Our offi ce offers custom mouth guards, which have superior fi t, comfort, and protection, because they are specially molded from an impression of your own teeth.

Mark Parker has agreed to a five-year extension to his contract with the Langley Unit-ed Soccer Association to direct all aspects of the club’s growth and development as the technical director.

With the extension, Parker is now signed on with the soccer club through 2019.

“Mark was one of the original authors of the CSA’s LTPD govern-ing document, and we know how fortunate Langley is to have one of the best technical directors in the coun-try as we continue to develop a leading soccer club for boys and girls, and men and wom-en,” said Arnout Stams, Langley United’s first vice-president.

“I could not have found a better home than a leading progressive club like Langley United and con-sider myself to have one of the better soccer jobs in B.C.,” Parker said.

“The board is progressive, not afraid to take on challenges, and

always strives to do what is best for the kids, making LUSA one of the best clubs in B.C. and the country,” he added.

Parker joined the club in 2009 and im-plemented the Ca-nadian Soccer Asso-ciation’s long-term development program at Langley United.

The club has grown from 1,350 members to more than 2,600, including 2,350 at the youth level.

Langley United now also has men’s and women’s teams.

Under Parker’s guidance, LUSA now counts 19 professional ac-credited and accomplished coach-es, all focused on improving the technical development of Langley soccer players from the U15 age group and up in grassroots and to developmental.

The Trinity Western men’s hockey team ral-lied from a two-goal third period defi cit to force overtime against Simon Fraser, but in the end the Spartans came up just short, losing in a shootout Saturday at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre.

Trailing 4-2 with just over 12 minutes to play, the Spartans tallied a pair of goals to tie it up, including the equalizer from PJ Buys with just over fi ve minutes to play, and send the game to the extra session.

After a scoreless over-time, SFU’s Jono Ceci was the lone goal-scor-er in the shootout as he helped lift the Clan to its seventh win of the season.

The Spartans are now 8-2-0-2 and sit atop the BCIHL standings with a four-point cushion over SFU, who is now 7-6-0-0. The loss stopped the Spartans three-game

winning streak.“Our guys found a

way to battle back and take it to overtime,” said Spartans coach Barret Kropf.

“I just didn’t think we had the right effort in the shootout to earn the extra point.

“But overall I think we showed some good character trying to get back into the game and give us a chance to win.”

Along with Buys’ late-game goal, Cody Fidgett scored twice for the Spartans while Dawson Sawatzky had TWU’s other goal.

While the aforemen-tioned trio provided the offence, it was an im-pressive night from for-ward Cody Stephenson who helped solidify the Spartans in their own zone.

“Cody had a good game and was particu-larly good defensively,” Kropf said.

“He had a great cou-

ple of back check plays that took away odd-man rush-es. He did a lot of things to give us an opportunity to get a crack at a comeback win.”

Spartans goalie Silas Matthys made 39 saves while the Clan’s An-drew Parent stopped 23 of the 27 shots he faced.

The Spartans play their fi nal game be-fore the holiday break when they host Eastern Washington tomorrow (Friday) at the Langley Events Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.

•••While the Trinity

Western Spartans vol-leyball teams were beating their Calgary counterparts in Langley, the Dinos were doing the same to the Spar-tan basketball teams in Calgary.

The Dinos survived

a scare against the S p a r t a n s men’s bas-ketball team 95-85 in

double overtime. Cal-gary won the rematch as well, 86-65 to drop TWU to 1-9 heading into the schedule’s hol-iday break.

The Spartans wom-en’s team heads into the break with a 4-6 re-cord.

TWU lost 95-72 and 73-55 against the Dinos.

Trinity Western Spartans’ Branden Schmidt sends the ball past the out-stretched block of the Calgary Dinos during his team’s victory on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.

MARK JANZEN TWU Athletics

It was a record-raising event as $150,000 was raised at Trinity West-ern’s annual Complete Champions Lunch.

The sixth annual event was held last month (Nov. 12) at the Langley Events Centre with spe-cial guest speaker An-thony Calvillo.

The retired Canadian Football League quar-terback and three-time Grey Cup champion shared his story — from football fi eld to his faith — to the crowd of nearly 350 in attendance.

“The biggest thing is that (the Spartan Foun-dation) is raising funds to help athletes go out there and perform on the fi eld,” Calvillo said.

“That’s something that is very important to me and this opportunity also gave me the chance to speak about my faith, which I don’t get too many opportunities to do so out in the public.”

“We are so encouraged that this corporate fund-raising lunch continues to grow and gain mo-mentum each year to help the teams and ath-letes,” said Steve Scholz, the executive director of the Spartan Foundation.

“We feel extremely blessed by the support from our corporate sponsors, table sponsors and donors who con-tributed to our matching fund, as well as those who donated on the day of the event.

“It is exciting to invest and help student-ath-letes grow and develop today, as one day, they will be our future lead-ers.”

The money raised — which topped last year’s total by nearly $30,000 — will be used for Spartan athletics.

New Year’s Resolution: Hot rides and buys for 2015Here are what I consider to be five important cars for 2015.

Mazda MX-5Over the last few years Mazda has been introducing vehicles with its new Skyactiv technology but there is one car that will signify the culmination of all the things Mazda does well, the next generation MX-5 (Miata). The MX-5 will come in 2015 as a 2016 model and all eyes are on Mazda to see what it can deliver. The bodywork is more dramatic and having seen it in person, the dimensions look fanatic but the new front grille might take a while to adapt too. The two-seat cockpit is roomier, thanks to a wider body and longer wheelbase but the overall length is 105mm shorter and 20mm lower. The 2.0L Skyactiv direct injection 4-cylinder will power this lightweight car and power will go to the rear wheels though a 6-speed manual transmission. Engine output has not been announced, neither has the price, but expect the car to be competitive with the 2015 model on price.

Ford ExplorerThe sixth generation Ford Explorer will arrive in 2015 as a 2016 model, now with new 2.3L EcoBoost engine available on the base and XLT trim. This replaces the older 2.0L Ecoboost and provides a 270hp, a 13 per cent bump over the last version. The 290hp 3.5L V6 is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. Ford claims that styling is the number one purchase consideration so the shape was retained but new grille and LED headlamps help refresh the look.

This sixth generation Explorer marks the 25th anni-versary of the iconic SUV, with over 350,000 sold in Canada so far.

2015 Jeep RenegadeThere is no question that the merger of Fiat and Chrysler has helped to introduce many new vehicles. The small car segment is a perfect example; the Fiat

500 and its variations has been a plus for Chrysler’s bottom line. Built in Europe on the Fiat 500L platform, this smaller Jeep Renegade replaces the Compass and Patriot models. Powered by either a 160hp, 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder or a larger 184hp, 2.4L 4-cylinder, Jeep claims that this compact crossover is still a capable vehicle because of two available all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems.

The standard models will be available with front-wheel-drive (FWD), with either a 6-speed manual or 9-speed automatic transmission. Styling is all-American; the signature Jeep grille is mar-ried perfectly into the boxy design, as too are other Jeep styling cues. The interior is has a rugged, yet upscale design that features all of Jeep’s latest technology, including the award winning Uconnect infotainment system. Pricing has not been announced but expect it shortly as it is due at dealerships very soon.

Honda HR-VComing in 2015 is another SUV, smaller than the CR-V, helping to define the new subcompact SUV market. This little runabout is built off the excellent Honda Fit platform and will include many of the features that make that car a standout. The first is the interior of the HR-V. It will also feature Honda’s Magic Seats that flip

and fold for amazing versatility. The same 1.8L 4-clinder engine with 138hp will power this vehicle, either with FWD or AWD, through a continuously variable trans-mission or 6-cpeed manual. Pricing will be introduced closer to the introduction this coming spring. Built in Mexico, the HR-V will give Honda the same leg up that the original CR-V did for the small SUV segment.

Chevrolet VoltIt might surprise many people that the best selling electric car in Canada is the Chevrolet Volt, not the sexy Tesla Model S. There are many reasons for this, mainly the fact that the Volt provides all-electric transporta-tion for 65 kms but with the aid of a small 4-cylinder generator to extend the range over 300 kms. This car has all of the upside of an electric car with none of the range limiting restrictions. In 2015, Chevrolet will intro-duce the second generation of Chevrolet Volt, one that hopes to improve on the usability of the car in terms of comfort and electric driving range. General Motors will showcase the next generation car in January at the Detroit Auto Show and the company’s CEO has stated that the new car “will store more energy in its battery pack with fewer cells, yet go further on a charge.” General Motors claims that 80 per cent of current Volt owners commute entirely on electric power, so any improvement to range will help increase this number. The Volt isn’t a huge volume seller for General Motors but this new model will help the company to showcase what it can do technologically. General Motors has the capability to produce some the most advanced cars on the road.

If you’re in the market for a new car but don’t have an unlimited budget, fear not, you have quite a few options. VW Golf ($18,995)The VW Golf is undeniably popular. With more than 30 million sold around the world since it first hit the streets, it just keeps getting better. For 2015, the ever-popular 3 or 5-door variant comes with a new engine, new architecture and new sheet metal.Based upon Volkswagen’s latest technological masterpiece, the “MQB Platform”, the Golf em-bodies the spirit of the original, and incorporates all of the latest engineering advances. It is the safest, best-handling and roomiest Golf of all time.Thanks to the use of high-strength steel, it’s more rigid, but also safe, with better handling. Though the Golf has grown in size it has dropped in weight by up to 35.8 kg/79 pounds (depending on model.)An all-new, 1.8L direct-injected turbocharged engine, delivering 170 horsepower and 184 pound power it-feet of torque.The shape and design elements remain as defined, as ever, with a distinctive C-pillar and roofline framing classic Golf side windows, but the striking new front end and steeply sloped hood leave no doubt this is an all-new model.Subaru Legacy ($23,495)The all-new Subaru Legacy will pleasantly surprise those in need of a mid-size sedan with all-wheel drive.Priced under $24K, its trunk accommodates for

425L, there’s room for five, and its 2.5L, 4-cylin-der engine produces 175 horsepower.On the base model, you have the choice of a 6-speed manual or an available Lineartronic CVT with paddle shifters and manual mode.One of the weakest points of the Legacy was probably the interior. For 2015, it’s significant-

ly updated. Its infotainment system also receives a much needed revamping. Inside the entry-level Legacy 2.5i you’ll find an AM/FM stereo with SiriusXM satellite radio, a Radio Data Broadcast System, an in-dash CD player, a 6.2-inch multi-function touchscreen display, Subaru STARLINK connectivity with smartphone integration, a rear-view camera.

Furthermore, the multi-touch display offers swipe and scrolling gestures, similar to smart-phones and tablets. MINI Cooper ($20,990)MINI’s street legal, go kart-like Cooper is now in its third generation and better than before.This pint-sized 3-door can be outfitted with a choice of two new engines: either a 3- cylinder engine with a peak output of 134 horsepower or, if you move up to the S trim, you’ll get a 4-cylinder engine with an output of 189. You can match either engine with either a 6-speed manual or an available 6-speed automatic.And as the MINI Cooper grows up, it also growsin dimensions. It’s 114 mm longer, 44 mm wider and 7 mm higher than its predecessor.

Five new vehicles under $25K cont.continued from page 40

Honda Fit ($14,495)Unveiled at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, the all-new, five-passenger, five-door vehicle comes with style and flair. And just because it doesn’t have a huge price tag, it doesn’t mean you don’t get some pretty great standard features.Those include things like: Bluetooth connectivity, a multi-angle rearview camera, and Expanded View Driver’s Mirror. For customers looking for premium features in the subcompact segment, the Fit will be available with smart entry with push-button start, heated side mirrors, heated front seats, Honda’s exclusive LaneWatch display and a 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen interface with HondaLink smartphone connectivity.The 2015 Fit marks the debut of an all-new direct-injected 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine. It produces 130 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 114 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,600 rpm. Engine output is increased by 13 horsepower and 8 lb-ft of torque compared to the outgoing engineFor those who love the versatility of Honda’s exclusive Magic Seats, they continue through this gen-eration. It provides an amazing 1492.3 L of cargo space when the second row seats are folded flat.Nissan Micra ($9,998)It’s small and comes with a small price tag, but expect big things from the all-new Nissan Micra.At one of Canada’s lowest MSRPs – it competes directly with the Mitsubishi Mirage for that title – it’s amazing what you can get for so little.The base model comes with manual windows and a manual transmission. It handles quite well and the cabin isn’t particularly loud when driving at highway speeds.The Micra is designed to not only meet or exceed Canadian safety regulations, but exceed them. Micra’s standard safety systems include the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) (includes front supplemental air bags, front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Traction Control System (TCS).Under its hood is a 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine that produces 109 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque. Okay, it’s not a lot but certainly enough to get you around.Available in three models, the Micra S, SV and top-of-the-line SR, these micro cars will be able to be matched with a 5-speed manual transmission, or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Whether you’re looking for a hatchback, sedan, or a micro car, the 2015 model year has all-new vehicles in that segment and [email protected] 2015 Nissan Micra ALEXANDRA STRAUB

By Rob RothwellYou can pay a fortune for a premium brand but you needn’t break the bank to buy wheels with style.Chrysler 200 (starting MSRP $19,945)Chrysler stunned the marketplace with the introduction of its completely new 200 Sedan, resetting benchmarks for style, panache, and performance within a fiercely competitive segment. And with a starting MSRP of just $19,945, the 200 undercuts many of its competitors, yet its real strength is found in its range of trim levels and power options. The base engine is a 2.4L four-cylinder affair that feeds 184 horsepower to the front wheels through a segment-exclusive nine-speed automatic transmission. Going upscale in the 200 brings with it Chrysler’s powerful 295 horsepower Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine paired with the nine-speed autobox and all-wheel-drive traction. Standard features include eight airbags, Keyless Enter ‘n Go, and Chrysler’s Uconnect 3.0 multimedia centre. Options include Blind Spot Monitor-ing, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, and Active Park Assist. With four distinct trim levels, the Chrysler 200 can match the wherewithal of many pocket-books while employing the latest in safety and technology to deliver an affordable upscale driving experience.Fuel Economy:2.4L I-4 10.2L/6.4L100km city/highway3.6L V6 12.4L/7.5L100km city/highwayAcura TLX (base MSRP $34,900) The four-door Acura TLX Sedan replaces the former TSX and TL sport sedans, merging their respective strengths into a single product positioned as the brand’s mid-level contender. With a base sticker of $34,900, the TLX delivers plenty of sport-inspired luxury built around a 206

horsepower 2.4L four-cylinder power plant fused to an eight-speed automatic trans-mission. Propulsion is directed frontward unless the V6 Technology Package and Acura’s Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system with torque vectoring are opted for. In which case, all four wheels share in 290 horsepower produced by the 3.5L SOHC i-VTEC mill. A sophisticated nine-speed au-tomatic transmission further contributes to the engaging performance of the V6-pow-ered TLX. In addition to a more rigid body structure, the TLX provides increased safety and collision avoidance with the use of technology such as Jewel Eye LED head-lights, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, and Blind Spot Informa-tion with Cross Traffic Warning. Comfort and convenience essentials include the availability of premium 10-speaker audio along with voice-activated navigation.Fuel Economy: 2.4L I-4 9.6L/6.6L/100km city/highway3.5L V6 11.2L/6.9L/100km city/highwayAudi A3 (base MSRP $31,100) Looking remarkably like the highly successful Audi A4 Sedan despite casting a shadow 245mm shorter, the new A3 Sedan is sure to capture the attention of entry-level Audi buyers that scorn the A3’s hatchback design despite the vehicle’s praiseworthy driving dynamics and general practicality. Pricing for the new A3 Sedan starts at $31,100 with the 170 horsepower 1.8L TFSI I-4 power plant turning the front wheels through the auspices of Audi’s six-speed S tronic automatic gearbox. Upping the ante to $35,900 secures a 220 horse-power 2.0L TFSI I-4 connected to all four corners via Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive technology. Diesel power is also available in the A3 Sedan, though paired only with front-wheel-drive. Option combinations include Audi’s Styling Package, Navigation

Package, and their sport-oriented S line Package. Audi has always been a technolo-gy leader, and the A3 Sedan shares in that reputation with a vast array of onboard safety and protection systems.Fuel Economy: TBDMercedes-Benz C 300 Sedan - C400 Sedan (base MSRP C 300 $43,000 - C400 $51,400)Despite slotting beneath the venerable E-Class in the Mercedes-Benz hierarchy of sedans, the new C-Class Sedan takes on a notably formal appearance and a more upscale demeanor for 2015. It’s also lighter and more powerful thanks to the extensive use of aluminum and a pair of revised engines. The C 300 receives a turbocharged 2.0L I-4 power plant capable of 241 horsepower. Need more oomph? A 3.0L twin-turbo V6 places 329 horsepower under the hood of the C 400. Both engines feed all four wheels through Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC all-wheel-drive technology. The sole use of 4MATIC is a Canadian-market exclusive. Along with new sheet metal and a lavishly-appoint-ed cabin, the C-Class is equipped with the latest generation of COMMAND by Mercedes-Benz. This highly sophisticated infotainment/navigation system is lifted directly from the S-Class flagship. Audio-philes will appreciate the availability of Burmester surround-sound audio compo-nents, which are hand-made in Germany. Fuel Economy: C 300 10.9L/7.5L/100km city/highway C 400 11.1L/8.4L/100km city/highwayBMW 228i – M235i (base MSRP 228i $36,000 - M235i $48,750)Reminiscent of the legendary 1968 BMW 2002 Coupe, today’s 228i and M235i Coupes combine the outstanding driving dynamics of the stubby BMW 1-Series Coupe, which they replace, with a sleeker,

more aggressive interpretation of the iconic brand’s ethos. The 228i is the tamer of the pair, but with 241 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, its 2.0L twin-turbo-charged I-4 engine delivers highly spirited performance nonetheless. If outright exhilaration is the target, the M235i is the ticket. Its twin-turbocharged 3.0L I-6 mill produces 322 horsepower and 332 lb.-ft. of endless torque. For true driver-oriented motoring, both vehicles can be fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox in place of

the new 8-speed automatic transmission. BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive traction is also available, but can only be paired with the automatic transmission. With the availability of a manual gearbox backed by a choice of turbocharged power plants, the new BMW 2-Series may just be the “ultimate driving machine.”Fuel Economy:228i 9.1L/5.6L/100km city/highwayM235i 11.2L/7.1L/100km city/highway
