Christine Daum, recreation supervisor for the City of Langley prepares to demonstrate one of the new Timms Community Centre’s state-of-the-art cardio machines. The equipment, built by Italy’s TechnoGym, is socially interactive meaning users can go online while they work out, compete with people on other machines or take a virtual tour of nearly any spot in the world as they work out. The centre will hold a grand opening on Wednesday, Feb. 24. The public is invited to drop by between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to tour the new facility and try out a complimentary fi tness class or two.

A countdown clock inside the main entrance of Lang-ley City Hall announces ‘9 Days’ until the doors of the new Timms Community Centre offi cially open.
Inside City Hall and the adjacent library, it’s busi-ness as usual on a weekday afternoon, as staff and pa-trons go about their day.
But behind a temporary wall to the west, construc-tion and cleaning crews la-bour side by side to get the building ready for its Feb. 24 public unveiling.
Wednesday’s grand open-ing will mark the culmina-tion of years of planning and a full 16 months of construction, since ground was broken in October 2014.
Since the old building next door to City Hall was demolished to make way for the new structure, Timms centre users have been working out at a tem-porary facility on Eastleigh Crescent.
When they make the move to the new building next week, they will fi nd at their disposal a full gym-

A just-released provincial government report shows the average Langley public school class had more students than the B.C. average last year.
The “overview of class size and composition in British Co-lumbia Public Schools” report was produced by the provin-cial Ministry of Education.
It shows that, as of Oct. 31, 2015, in the Langley school district, the average kinder-garten class was 20.9 students, higher than the provincial av-erage of 19.7.
The average Grade 1 to 3 class was 22.6 pupils, larger than the provincial average of 21.8.
The average 4 to 7 class was 27.6, bigger than the provincial average of 26.0.
In the Grade 8 to 12 category, the average Langley class size was close to but still slightly bigger than the provincial av-erage at 23.8 compared to 23.4.
In response to a Times re-quest for comment on the lo-cal class size fi gures, Langley School District Communica-tions Manager Ken Hoff said, based on the provincial report, “the Langley School District sees itself as fairly comparable to other Fraser Valley and Met-ro class size averages.”
Langley Teachers Associa-tion (LTA) president Gail Chad-dock-Costello said the provin-cial numbers show Langley schools “are the worst overall, collectively, in the province.”
An LTA analysis said Langley had the second worst kinder-garten class size in B.C., tied for second worst in grades 1-3, and tied for fi fth worst in Grades 4-7.
Chaddock-Costello said the fi gures were also skewed downwards because the pro-vincial government included smaller-than-average classes like the international bacca-laureate, French immersion and special education pro
grams in the averages.She added the provincial
numbers don’t reveal the number of classes with more than 30 students in the Lang-ley district.
Based on g r i e v a n c -es fi led by teachers last year, Chad-dock-Costel-lo said the LTA esti-mates 21 L a n g l e y classes had from 31 to 36 students.
The report also doesn’t give a district-by-district ac-counting of the increasing number of special needs stu-dents in the classroom, Chad-dock-Costello said.
“We (in Langley) have larg-er and larger case loads,” she said, adding “there is not, I can assure you, a commensurate increase in specialist teach-ers.”
A BC Teachers Federation press release said the num-ber of classes in BC with four or more children with special
needs has risen to 16,516, the most ever.
The number of classes with seven or more children with special needs has also gone up to an all-time high, 4,163, the BCTF said.
“When classes become too large and overly complex, all students lose out on time with their teachers” BCTF President Jim Iker said.
“It is time for this govern-ment to stop the cuts” Iker added.
Provincial Education Minis-ter Mike Bernier responded by saying a $100 million learning improvement fund has hired an additional 312 full time teachers, increased another 616 from part time to full time, and upgraded almost 3,000 support staff from part time to full time as well.
“We’ve been working well with the BCTF on major edu-cation initiatives like the new curriculum, so it’s disappoint-ing to see them making broad political conclusions from a province-wide report on class size and composition,” Bernier said.

New homes worth up to $750,000 are exempt from B.C.’s property transfer tax under changes in the budget that take effect April 1.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong is rais-ing the exemption level from $475,000 on new homes, and expects to make up most of the revenue by increasing the tax rate from two to three per cent on the value of homes in excess of $2 million.
For resold homes, property purchase tax continues to apply at one per cent on the fi rst $200,000 of value and two per cent on value between $200,000 and $2 million. The tax has produced a windfall for the province and pushed
home purchase costs even higher in the hot market for homes in some ur-ban areas. The government expects to collect about $200 million more than it budgeted for the current year.
De Jong said the break is aimed at new construction to stimulate new housing construction, adding to sup-ply in response to demand that is driv-ing prices up.
The exemption is only available to Canadian citizens and permanent res-idents, and the government is resum-ing tracking nationality of buyers, a practice stopped in 1998.
The upper limit to qualify for the homeowner grant is also increased from $1.1 million to $1.2 million for the 2016 property tax year.

nasium circled on the building’s upper level by a walking/run-ning track, along with a weight/cardio room, spin room and two fi tness studios with spring fl oors.
In addition to the fi tness fa-cilities, the new building also houses all-purpose rooms for meetings (one of which is equipped to serve as an emer-gency operations centre) as well as a games room, community kitchen, a café and outdoor pa-tio space, which includes a rub-berized mat for fresh-air fi tness classes.
The 100-metre indoor track is what really sets the Timms cen-tre apart, said City CAO Francis Cheung, earlier this week as he led the way through the build-ing as part of a sneak peek tour.
“We can offer something that no other (nearby) facility is of-fering right now.”
Christine Daum, recreation supervisor for the City, expects the track will be popular with a wide range of groups, including moms with strollers and the Langley Better Breathers walk-ing club.
The gymnasium is equipped with full and half-size basket-ball courts and lines have been painted for other sports as well, including the increasingly pop-ular pickleball.
At the south end of the build-ing, the games room, which is
open to all ages, will offer three pool ta-bles and three ping pong tables, along with skee-ball, air hockey, foosball and three different video gaming sys-tems.
Each Saturday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. the games room will be re-served for use by younger patrons, under the supervi-sion of youth co-or-dinator Thomas Nyte.
In a small room off the gym-nasium spin classes will be of-fered, with bikes for 14 students per session.
But for Daum and Cheung, the real excitement on this tour comes with a visit to the cardio room, where more than a dozen examples of the latest in gym equipment are lined up and ready to go.
Created by Italy’s TechnoGym — offi cial supplier for both the Olympic and Pan Am Games — the socially interactive ma-chines allow users to compete in physical challenges with someone on another piece of equipment.
For those who prefer to ex-ercise solo, each machine is equipped with a screen that can stream Netfl ix from the user’s personal account or allow them
to browse Face-book or even play Angry Birds while they work out, said Daum with a chuckle.
Or, for a more exotic adventure, they can pick near-ly any place in the world and walk, run or ride “out-doors.”
Choosing San Francisco as an ex-ample, Daum steps onto a treadmill and begins walk-ing. On the screen
in front of her, a city street scene begins to scroll as she walks.
“How fast I walk is how fast the screen goes by,” she said.
Although they’re not yet set up for the function, eventually the treadmills will incline with rising terrain on the screen.
“Cardio is hard, it gets bor-ing,” said Daum. “Every little bit helps.”
Equipment has also been pro-vided for people with mobility issues, allowing them to engage only their arms or legs and to be strapped in for security, if nec-essary.
Constructed at a cost of $14.3 million, the 35,000 square-foot building itself is a point of pride for the City.

Built to the equiv-alent of LEED Silver standards (though not certifi ed) it incorpo-rates a range of ener-gy-saving components. A monitor on the wall will show how much power the building is using at any given point in time.
Rather than use the former centre’s foot-print, designers inte-grated the new struc-ture with the existing City Hall — joining the two buildings via a long concourse with main entrances at both ends.
The design is intend-ed to offer good sight lines and let in plenty of natural light, ex-plained architect Stu-art Rothnie, when the design was fi rst un-veiled in June 2014.
The centre will be connected by foot and bike paths to Fras-er Highway and 204 Street.
New parking has been provided both underneath the build-ing and at ground level.
The bright, open de-sign incorporates a planted “living wall,” an exposed beam ceil-ing and plenty of glass, offering stunning views of the moun-tains to the north and east.
A time capsule will be dedicated during the Feb. 24 opening. The items won’t be buried, but kept on dis-play behind polarized glass in the concourse.
“This has been a real-ly consultative process, with council providing feedback on everything from the colour of the walls to the furniture, to the time capsule,” said Cheung.
“It’s been a long time coming.”
Although the City had tried to include community partners in the development of the building, the effort ended up slowing the process considerably, said Mayor Ted Schaf-fer.
“We were working to have other parties involved, but some groups were dragging their feet.
“Eventually, you’ve got to move forward.”
Despite the wait, Schaffer said council is pleased with the re-sult — a fi tness facility that offers residents an opportunity to gather in a social hub at the centre of town.
“The track is proba-bly the element that is really important,
because it gives peo-ple the opportunity to recreate inside,” said Schaffer.
“As a council, we’re very proud . . . we’re
looking beyond tomor-row. The kind of tech-nology incorporated (in the building) exem-plifi es that.
“Another important
aspect (of the facility) is that it’s paid for,” Schaffer added.
While acknowledg-ing the City’s share of funding from the casi-no has played a large part in that, he also credits staff for “work-ing extremely hard on priorities.
“It’s just being pru-dent and looking at the community as a whole.
“It’s involved a lot of time and effort on the part of staff . . . They’ve really put their hearts into it.”
The offi cial open-ing of the new Timms Community Centre will take place be-tween 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 24.
For those who just can’t wait the extra two days, the facility will open to the pub-lic without fanfare on Monday, Feb. 22.
Memberships and passes can be pur-chased now, with $10 annual passes avail-able for people who only want to access the track and the games room.
The centre is located in the 20300 block of Douglas Crescent.
The new Timms Community Centre will connect to City Hall via an open concourse with entrances at both ends. The design includes exposed beams and plenty of glass to let in natural light.

Langley Memorial Hospital (LMH) will close a number of hospital beds as a result of a Fraser Health Authority (FHA) decision to shift aging patients out of hospitals and into hun-dreds of planned new residen-tial care beds.
Tasleem Juma, a spokesper-son for the authority, said she was unable to provide an exact number of bed closures at the Langley hospital because it will depend on patient volume.
“In terms of bed numbers, these ebb and fl ow each day and each site will do what makes sense for their patient population,” Juma told The Times.
“What I can tell you is that, at Langley Memorial Hospital, these bed reductions will mean improving our infection control measures by converting some of our four-bed rooms into three-bed rooms.”
Juma said the FHA has al-ready recruited and hired more staff for home health services for seniors.
“We are also increasing the number of nurse practitioners to better support seniors in the community and at the hospi-
tal,” Juma said.A retired nurse told The Times
that staff at LMH were informed 12 beds in the 203-bed hospital will be closed — eight surgical and four medical (for non-sur-gical cases).
They were advised of the clo-sures earlier this month, said Lindsay Gri, who is a retired Registered Nurse and former patient care co-ordinator.
Gri said LMH is the fi rst hos-pital in the FHA to make the cuts (the FHA’s Juma could not confi rm that when asked by The Times).
“It’s already started,” Gri said.“They’re reducing two beds
each week (at LMH). They ha-ven’t got the resources in the community but they’re already closing the beds.”
Gri said the loss of the hos-pital beds will mean more pa-tients occupying ER beds and more people going home from hospital sooner than they should.
The plan announced by the FHA will close 80 hospital beds at 10 hospitals over the next six months while simultaneous-ly opening 400 new residential care beds.
The FHA said the region will see a net increase in combined
residential and acute care beds and a net increase in jobs.
Ten new hospice beds are also being opened.
B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil opposed the plan, saying hospitals were already heavily congested before the planned shift in resources.
“Last week we saw a record high number of patients wait-ing for beds in wards,” Duteil said.
“Some patients were waiting in the ER for upwards of four hours just to be triaged. That is not safe patient care.”
She also questioned whether enough nurses are working in community care to handle the new patients.
Fraser has long pursued a “home is best” long-range strat-egy to decongest hospitals but that took on renewed urgency in 2013 whe n Health Minister Terry Lake ordered a review af-ter the health region repeatedly failed to stay within its budget.
Fraser Health’s latest report card shows the region contin-ues to far underperform its tar-gets on how long patients stay in hospital as well as key mea-sures of ER congestion.
— with fi les from Jeff Nagel, Black Press
“This year we are in-vesting a record $5 bil-lion in the education system in B.C. and that includes extra funds to districts to support each and every student with special needs,” the minister added.
Education minis-try fi gures show most classes over 30 students tend to have no more than 31 students and are bigger to accom-modate student course choices in Grades 11 and 12.
The ministry also said the number of classes with over 30 students has been dropping “dramatically” for over a decade, falling from 9,253 in the 2005 - 2006 school year to 1,077 in 2014 - 2015.

In a little offi ce adjacent to the library at Douglas Park El-ementary School, hundreds of brand new books sit in boxes, awaiting the eager eyes of stu-dents.
An Indigo contest mishap last fall led to nearly $16,000 being donated to the school’s library, after Douglas Park was disqualifi ed from a $10,000 book competition they thought they had won.
The community rallied in support, with Black Bond Books donating 1,000 books,
and Indigo admitting to errors in the competition and hon-ouring the school’s win by do-nating $10,000 and 445 books.
But the brand new collection has yet to make it into class-rooms.
There are hundreds of books to laminate, barcode and en-ter into the library’s computer system, and a budget for only one library technician to work one day a week.
With the majority of the books remaining boxed up in the offi ce, the process is now being helped thanks to the support of the Langley Lions.
The group made a $3,000 do-nation to the school that will go towards hiring extra help to process the new books.
The money was raised through the club’s bingo nights, held every Tuesday eve-ning at the Langley Lions Se-nior Citizens Housing Society. The bingo nights are both a fundraising effort, and a social event for seniors.
Lions members Mel and Irene Stokes, John Manuel and Jo-Anne Clark presented the cheque to Douglas Park prin-cipal Esther Schmidt on Friday, Feb. 12.

They’re just doing their jobI was honoured recently to
attend an awards ceremony for the Langley detachment of the RCMP.
The ceremony is held annual-ly to present the RCMP service awards, the Offi cer in Charge commendations and long-ser-vice awards.
As a proud Canadian, I am always impressed with events such as this where the maple leaf is accented by the highly recognizable red serge.
The march in of the dignitaries, offi -cers and members is always very im-pressive.
The staff that organized the event did a fantastic job and made it a memora-ble experience for the participants, the recipients and the audience.
As I watched the seats fi ll up with more than 65 regular and auxiliary members, my mind drifted back to the much simpler Langley I grew up in.
This night, the detachment was rep-resented by its superintendent and even though there were many mem-bers here, we knew there were many more out on duty in the community.
I can recall when the top ranking of-fi cer here was a staff sergeant, backed up by a corporal and a handful of mem-bers that protected the predominantly
farming community. We knew them all by name
and they lived in the commu-nity, became members of the service clubs, coached sports teams, shopped and went to church here.
We young boys got to know which ones were serious and who had a sense of humour. We knew which buildings or fences they parked behind and we got to know who gave out warnings and who gave out
tickets and they got to recognize our cars and knew where we lived.
But regardless of their temperaments or personalities we respected them be-cause they were members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and that’s what we had been taught to do.
Over the years in the fi re service, I met many fi ne men and women in that uniform who I enjoyed working with at fi re scenes or community events and I knew many that retired never having pulled their revolvers from their hol-sters, but still maintained the right and always got their man.
During the ceremony I was somewhat surprised when I saw members being recognized for many occurrences that I hadn’t heard of in our community.
Two female members had successful-
ly performed CPR and revived a patient but I don’t remember seeing that on the six o’clock news.
One member prevented a man from jumping from a third fl oor window.
Another constable was at a school and recognized that a young girl was showing signs of an overdose and hear-ing that the ambulance was to be de-layed she put her in her car and took her to the hospital and saved her life.
An entire shift, including the dis-patchers, were recognized for their exemplary conduct in evacuating an apartment complex that was being threatened by a fi re and getting the people to safety.
I never saw that story. It seems only the negative stories make the front page or the evening news.
Supt. Murray Power pointed out that often split second decisions have to be made in extreme circumstances and it happens every shift, every day.
The actions recognized here were a result of people using their training and doing their job.
Next time you get a chance, stop and shake a member’s hand and thank them for the job they do.
That doesn’t happen often and it means as much to them as a plaque or a medal.
At least that’s what McGregor says.

A new, state-of the-art Timms Community Cen-tre will open next week in Langley City.
As the big day approaches, we’ve been wonder-ing about the origins of the building’s name.
What is the story of the family upon whom the honour was bestowed many years ago?
The tale, as it turns out, dates back more than a century.
George Young Timms and his wife Harriet im-migrated from England to Toronto in 1873, then relocated to Langley Prairie in 1911.
The family would go on to become a major force in the community.
Their story is told by historian Warren F. Som-mer in “From Prairie to City: A history of the City of Langley.”
George and Harriet Timms built a large crafts-man style home just south of the British Colum-bia Electric Railway and near the family green-houses.
It was called Timms house, and it was consid-ered one of the “largest and grandest houses in the municipality,” Sommer writes.
The Timms family business grew into one of the largest wholesale fl ower operations in North America.
George Y. Timms also ran a printing business and published one of the fi rst Langley newspa-pers, known variously as the Langley Journal and the Langley Press.
A picture of G.Y. Timms at the time shows him posing in front of the movie theatre operated by one of his sons, Edward J. Timms.
Next to the “Photoplay” sign behind the elder Timms, the theatre offers to sell patrons tobacco, ice cream and soft drinks.
It was the fi rst motion picture cinema in Lang-ley and it ran silent fi lms with a piano providing the soundtrack.
When the piano was upgraded to an organ in 1924, the New Westminster Weekly Columbian gushed that it would be “capable of producing many splendid effects” for fi lms like “The Arab” starring Ramon Navaro.
The son was more interested in theatre than greenhouses, it appeared, and E.J. Timms went on to sell the greenhouse business while he con-tinued to operate his movie theatre and dabble in land development.
He also operated Langley’s fi rst restaurant, a tea room, out of the Theatre Block where the movies played.
The tea room would became the Timms’ Grocer-teria, which sold Fraser Valley butter for 45 cents a pound, choice bulk tea for 60 cents a pound and a 10-pound bag of sugar for 79 cents.
The Theatre block, a multipurpose building if there ever was one, also rented space to the com-munity’s fi rst drug store in 1920.
No surprise then, that the family name would end up adorning a more modern multi-purpose facility.
Next week, the latest version of the Timms Community Centre will hold a soft opening on Monday, with an offi cial opening on Wednesday.
The $14.3 million, 35,000-square-foot building is a marvelous addition to the civic amenities provided by the city, one worthy of the name, Timms.
What’s in a name?

Editor: As a regular shop-per at the shopping centre at 20151 Fraser Hwy., I have come to know a wonderful young man named Bruce who often plays his guitar out in front of the space be-tween entrances of the su-permarket and the liquor store.
Being a longtime resident and contributor to both the City and the Township, it has always pleased me to see great musicians getting their start on the city streets, and Bruce is no exception.
Bruce plays acceptable mu-sic to the public and plays it very well.
He opens his guitar case for donations if people should be so kind and has never so-licited money from myself, my husband or the public in general that I am aware of.
He has, in my opinion, be-come one of the many gifts that gives Langley its great reputation for arts and cul-ture.
It was brought to my atten-tion by one of the local busi-ness owners that Bruce was asked to pack up and leave the property.
Although I can understand the need to keep the area clear of panhandlers, I can-not understand the rationale behind this particular deci-sion.
This man is clearly enter-taining to the public and not blocking any entrance ways to the businesses at this ad-dress.
He is pleasant and humble and not soliciting anything from the customers who shop there.
I would see it a sad disser-vice to the customers, the businesses at this address and Bruce if this is enforced and therefore am asking that this decision be given further consideration by the com-mittee or person(s) who own this property.

Editor: Well, Justin has done it — he has caused this country to step back from its military mission and from an active role in the war on terror.
He has opted instead to provide humanitarian and training aid for our allies who actually are doing the fi ghting against ISIS.
The fact that the Islamic States of Iraq and Syria thugs have murdered thousands by terrorist acts and be-headed thousands more innocent people has scared Justin off.
Never has there been a greater threat to civilization, and a scarier and more barbaric opponent than
ISIS where the philosophy of life is from a 1,000 years in the past and where a human life means little if anything.
To add to our shame, Justin has caused our NATO allies to snub Can-ada and to not invite this country to NATO meetings and conferences.
For the fi rst time in my lifetime I am truly ashamed to be a Canadian.
But then this is a democracy and Justin was elected by the Canadian electorate.
The fault is therefore ours. GORD WEITZEL,
LANGLEY
Editor: Under the last 10 years of Conservative rule, Canada’s share of global aid became the lowest of all industrialized nations.
In 2014, the only G7 country with a smaller aid budget than Canada was Italy, which had an unem-ployment rate of over 12 per cent and whose economy was among the worst in Europe.
The usual argument for this par-simony is it’s somehow better to help Canadians than foreigners, and yet I know of no recognized ethic, religion, or accepted sys-tems of morals that say only help
those that live near you and forget everyone else.
If human life has value, if we be-lieve that every human being has potential, the accident of one’s location of birth shouldn’t be rel-evant.
Recognizing this, Canada has pledged to spend 0.7 per cent of GDP on foreign assistance.
We are now at less than half that, while our global partners have reached or are close to that goal.
The second usual argument is our weak economy, but despite a
defi cit of nearly $200 billion, the UK still met their international obligations in 2014.
At the height of the 2008 reces-sion, Ireland increased its aid, ex-ceeding Canada’s.
The difference between 0.24 and .07 percent is a rounding error in the federal budget, yet means life and death for millions.
The Conservatives and their tight-fi sted policies are now gone, and it’s time to fulfi ll your prede-cessor’s oaths, Mr. Trudeau.

Editor: Re: ‘Poorly planned land devel-opment is directly to blame for high cost of hay’ (The Times, Feb. 10).
F. Steinfeld says animals are starv-ing due to a shortage of hay and tries to blame it on the mayor and council.
Lashing out with specious arguments, looking to blame others, won’t provide a low-cost supply of hay. It has nothing to do with council.
The Township has never tried to tell
people where they must locate their house on acreage or regulate its size, oth-er than setbacks and percentage lot cov-erage.
So far, farming in Canada remains a pri-vate enterprise activity and hay is a free market commodity item.
Most farmers ensure they have an ad-equate supply of feed for their own ani-mals and may sell off any extra.
Normally in the Ag sector, if a non-grow-
er wants to ensure a supply of feed for their animals, they can make ‘futures contract’ arrangements at pre-agreed prices with growers.
She goes on to complain about develop-ment displacing trees but her own house and accessory buildings probably once had trees there.
Farmers had to clear the land to provide fi elds to grow hay and other products.
She complains about more C02 but
greenhouses inject three to four times more C02 (than ambient 400 ppm in the atmosphere) to grow the plants healthier and people work inside the greenhouses for many years with no ill effects.
More C02 would grow hay faster and with less water.

Great question Kelly, and one we hear very often at our studio – especially because we specialize in weight-loss for women. The best exercise you can do
to lose weight is unique to you and takes into consideration 3 factors.1 Do you enjoy it enough to do it regularly2 Does it burn enough calories to support weight loss3 Does it work around any previous injuries
Answer ‘yes’ to those three questions and you got yourself a winner.My favorite style of weight-loss workouts – and the style of most of Equilibrias classes - is something called HIIT (short for high-intensity interval training.) I like it because it intertwines intervals of working hard with intervals of rest. The benefi t to this is that you end up burning more calories and fat in a shorter time while feeling like the workout effort is quite manageable.Thanks for the great question and see you next month, Kathie.

A Register with Langley Bottle Depot and we will provide your supplies. Have extra cardboard boxes for loose beer, wine and spirit bottles. Plastic bags do not work well for glass wine and spirit bottles. DO NOT mix alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage containers.Focus on 6 main sorts; Pop cans, beer cans, plastic over 1L, plastic up to 1L, beer bottles, wine and spirit bottles (Plastic and glass wine and spirit bottles can be packed together just separated by size). These 6 sorts will represent +95% of what you will collect. Of the balance (juice boxes, gable top, pouches, bag-in-box and tin cans), combine in 1 bag. For non-alcoholic glass drink bottles; IF you have a recycling Blue Box, when it is full to the top edge of the bin, 9 times out of 10 there will be 50 bottles in it.The same with pop cans, beer cans, and large plastic bottles. When our bags are full to the line, and just bulging above the line when tied off, they will be within 2% of the correct count. Plastic up to 1L is actually very diffi cult to tie off with 150 bottles in it, so make sure they are bulging full. You don’t have to count every container if you follow this guideline. The most common mistake is mixing beer and pop cans. Remember that beer cansare worth more than pop cans. Please keep them separate.Contact Langley Bottle Depot if you have any more questions.

Q I am looking to buy a home should I be paying my property taxes with my mortgage?
Paying your property taxes through your mortgage can offer the convenience of one less bill to deal with each month. Your bank simply estimates the total annual property tax payment then divides this amount by the number of
mortgage payments you make each year and holds them in an escrow account until property taxes are due. Sounds simple enough, right? Well there is some factors you should be aware of . Contact Deanna to fi nd out more.

Q WHAT CAUSES BAD BREATH AND HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?
A Bad breath is a problem a lot of us face. Usually it’s a temporary situation that passes quickly, but for others it can be a long, often embarrassing battle. The technical term for bad breath is halitosis. The easiest way to prevent bad breath is to brush your teeth after every meal and fl oss regularly. Many people claim to brush 2-3 times a day and still suffer from halitosis. However, if you are not brushing properly, then it defeats the purpose. Sitting down with your dentist or hygienist and discussing your brushing technique can be very useful. An area of the mouth most people forget to brush is the tongue. The tongue has many hair-like fi bers on it that can trap unpleasant odors so it is essential to keep it clean. Flossing is also important in not only preventing bad breath, but also in maintaining gum health. Many people overlook fl ossing as a way of preventing bad breath.However, the next time you fl oss, smell the fl oss when you’re done and you’ll realize what the fl oss is removing. Finally, once you are fi nished brushing and fl ossing, rinse thoroughly with water or non-alcohol mouth wash. If your oral care has been lacking for a while, then brushing and fl ossing might not be enough to cure your bad breath. There are certain areas of your mouth that your toothbrush and fl oss cannot simply reach and therefore, it is necessary to have a professional cleaning done by your dentist or hygienist. At these hygiene appointments, your dentist can also check to see if there are other issues causing your bad breath. Some of these issues can be tooth decay (cavities), gum disease and tooth abscesses.

Q DO I REALLY NEED TWO HEARING AIDS??
A As a practitioner, this is the most asked question that I receive. The answer to this will be different for every individual and will depend on your hearing loss. The only way to determine this is to have your hearing examined. Only one hearing aid will be recommended if you have hearing loss in only one ear. This unfortunately is not the norm. Typically hearing loss is caused by aging and/or hazardous noise which results in gradual hearing loss in both ears. In these cases two hearing aids are recommended for the following reasons:Better Hearing In Noise – Our brains need both ears functioning to “fi lter” out useless information. If only one hearing aid is worn the brain is not able to effectively fi lter out the background noise.Better Localization – the ability to locate where a sound is coming fromBetter Clarity – you will understand words far better with two hearing aidsBalanced Hearing – two hearing aids will give you hearing in “stereo-effect”Tinnitus Masking – “Ringing in the ears” – many people report having some sort of Tinnitus. Wearing two hearing aids can help mask the tinnitus by amplifying environmental sounds. If only one hearing aid is worn then the tinnitus is not effectively masked – only the ear wearing the hearing aid will receive benefi t for this.

The provincial budget will have a signifi cant effect on Langley, particularly Wil-loughby.
That’s because of how the province has chosen to react to the growing furore over the lack of housing afford-ability.
It is not boosting the level at which the property pur-chase tax stays at one per cent ($200,000) and it is not boosting the exemption for fi rst-time buyers (it only applies to prop-erty valued at a maximum $475,000).
Instead, it is eliminating property purchase tax entirely on new homes valued at $750,000 or less. To make up for the income loss (and that’s what the government really cares about), it will boost the property purchase tax to three per cent on properties valued at $2 million or more. While this boost in taxes on the wealthy is welcome and long overdue, the government’s refusal to do any other tinkering with the property purchase tax and little else on the housing front is far short of the response that is needed.
The property purchase tax has been in place, virtually unchanged, since its introduction by the Social Credit government of Bill Vander Zalm in 1988.
The government’s resistance to change shows that revenue is far more important to it than moves to make it easier for younger people to buy homes, or incentives to build rental housing.
Willoughby is the one area of Langley with signifi cant land for new housing. Detached homes were the primary type of housing built when Willoughby fi rst started de-veloping more than 15 years ago. In recent years, the trend has been to-wards townhouses.
Almost every home sold in Wil-loughby in the past year or two has been valued under $750,000, so it is obvious that this exemption from the property purchase tax will be very good for builders, developers and realtors working in Willoughby. It will also be good for those who buy. They don’t have to be fi rst-time buyers, and the only requirement is that they are Canadian citizens and/or B.C. residents and agree to occupy the home for at least a year.
This will likely mean a heavier de-mand for homes in Willoughby, al-most right away. There will be more
pressure to rezone land for new developments.
There will be other pres-sures as well. Schools will be even more overcrowded. The provincial government knows that there is a need for more schools but has been very slow in approv-ing funds for new ones. R.E. Mountain Secondary, in par-ticularly, is badly overcrowd-ed.
Then there is the issue of trans-portation. Willoughby is very badly served by transit. The thousands of residents who live along the 208 Street corridor have no access to transit. Thus families moving into townhouses and detached homes there need to have at least two ve-hicles. This puts pressure on that street, which is one lane for much of its distance.
While there are buses along 200 Street, and the Carvolth Exchange is located at the northerly edge of Wil-loughby, most residents in the area cannot walk to a nearby bus stop to take transit. If the area grows dra-matically, as it will likely do as long as housing prices keep skyrocketing in Vancouver and nearby cities and interest rates stay low, this transit defi cit will continue to grow.
Government-funded institutions like Langley Memorial Hospital will also feel the pressure of added pop-ulation. There are no immediate plans for additions to LMH.
The property purchase tax exemp-tion will also spur redevelopment in Langley City, where there have been a number of multi-family projects built in recent years. There will also be more development in Murray-ville.
Overall, the BC Liberal govern-ment’s changes to housing taxes will have a signifi cant effect on Langley’s population, schools, trans-portation systems and hospital.
Beyond that, the budget will have little effect on most Langley resi-dents. Most will likely pay more in Medical Services Premiums, as the reductions announced are target-ed primarily at single-parent fami-lies. Most B.C. residents pay plenty of taxes and user fees already, but there has been little relief on that front.

JEFF NAGELBlack Press
The provincial govern-ment has served notice it intends to make munici-palities share in some of the blame for high housing costs.
Tuesday’s throne speech pledged the province will “work with municipalities to reduce the hidden cost in home purchases, and to make those hidden costs clear and transparent to the home buyer.”
That’s expected to trans-late into a requirement that home buyers receive a breakdown of how various fees and levies imposed by local governments on de-velopers add to the cost of a new unit.
Premier Christy Clark said she won’t force cities to reduce their fees, which help fund everything from water and sewer lines to parks and social housing.
“We don’t intend to inter-fere with that,” Clark told reporters. “I think local gov-ernments are just as con-cerned about this as I am. So hopefully they’ll address their end of it.”
Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said develop-ment cost charges refl ect the city and staff cost of dealing with a develop-ment, while community amenity charges are in-vested in new facilities so neighbourhoods keep pace with growth.
“If we’re going to do a whole bunch of growth and not collect that money then we don’t have money to in-vest in community centres and parks and that,” Rob-ertson warned.
A 2014 study commis-sioned by the Greater Van-couver Home Builders’ As-sociation found municipal fees and charges added $17,124 or four per cent to the cost of a typical town-house across Metro Van-couver.
But that can vary wildly — the study found fees in Surrey added $33,700 or 10 per cent to the cost of each unit in one sample devel-opment.
Home builders’ associ-ation CEO Bob de Wit said the total additional costs from fees and taxes like-ly climbs to around 23 per
cent once provincial and federal taxes are added.
“If we can reduce that 23 per cent from all govern-ment fees to 15 or 18 per cent, that’s a huge chunk of money for most people and
it could be the difference between not being able to buy at all or buying a house instead of a townhouse or a townhouse instead of a condo,” de Wit said.
While rising land values
are the dominant factor in soaring prices for Vancou-ver houses, de Wit said fees “matter a lot” for fi rst-time buyers seeking more af-fordable entry-level homes, particularly in outlying
suburbs.De Wit noted cities are
inconsistent in how high the fees are and what they go towards. Community amenity fees are negotiat-ed in some areas and fi xed in others, he added.
“They’re all calculated differently,” he said. “What we like as an industry is predictability.”
Robertson said the only government interventions that make sense to him are luxury or speculation tax-es to target the “very high profi ts that are being har-vested from a market that’s growing very fast and pun-ishing people on low and middle incomes who can’t afford to stay.”
The province has sig-nalled it may adjust the property transfer tax to charge more when high-value homes change hands.
The B.C. Liberals have long argued that cities could help the housing affordability crisis on the supply side by giving the green light to denser neigh-bourhoods and the con-struction of more units.
Tuesday’s throne speech pledged that the province will work with municipalities to reduce the hidden cost in home purchases.

Can he make it?
GARY AHUJATimes Reporter
Aaron Markin wants to go to Europe and he needs your help to do so.
He isn’t asking for money or anything like that. Instead, all he needs is your vote.
Markin is teaming up his friends Sam Sut-ter and Connor Wong as part of the Red Bull Can You Make It? con-test.
The trio are all UBC students, with Markin from Langley, Sutter from Chilliwack and Wong is from White Rock.
The contest is look-ing for teams from around the world who will be fl own to one of fi ve starting points in Europe. Each team will hand over their cash, credit cards and phones in exchange for 24 cans of Red Bull and a smartphone.
The teams will then have one week to make it to the fi nal destination, using the Red Bull to barter for everything they need along the way — food, a place to sleep, trans-portation to the next location, etc.
Along the way, they will create their own path by visiting check-points in European cit-ies, posting photos and videos of their journey and completing as many tasks off the ad-venture list and receiv-ing support from their followers back home. They can also earn
more cans of Red Bull by completing chal-lenges along the way.
The contest is for university students ages 18.
Voting fi nishes at 8 a.m. next Thursday (Feb. 25).
The top 16 teams from each region or country according to public voting will then be whittled down to four from each.
All of Canada is one region.
Markin fi gures his team — the West Coast Whalers — will be able to use their hockey
background to work together and succeed if they are chosen.
Markin played through the ranks of the Langley Minor Hockey Association and played junior B with the Aldergrove Kodiaks, serving as the team’s captain last year, before quitting hockey to pursue his studies.
And while he is en-joying his studies, Mar-kin knows an opportu-nity like this might not come again.
“This is just a com-pletely different expe-rience and a way to see the world in a different way,” he said.
“We are young, and who knows if (in the future) this is some-thing we will be able to
do down the road.“We just wanted to
jump on this.“We are just three
fun-loving guys and if you want to see something entertain-ing, just put three kids who don’t know much about Europe without any resources and see how far we go,” he said.
The chosen teams will begin their adven-ture on April 12 and they have until April 19 to reach the fi nal desti-nation.
The winning team will receive an ulti-mate European sum-mer adventure.
Red Bull TV will air highlights throughout the contest.
To vote, go to www.redbullcanyoumakeit.com.

Empowering BC BusinessesBy: Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce
February 15, 2016, marks the beginning of Chamber of Commerce Week, an opportunity for B.C.’s more than 125 Chambers of Commerce to showcase their hard work on behalf of businesses across the province.
This year, Chambers are celebrating the theme of “Empowering B.C. businesses” – a theme that highlights how Chambers strive to empower and grow each business in their community.
Every day, Chambers actively strengthen local businesses through networking events, mentorship opportunities, professional development activities and other unique programming. Whether hosting events and business awards, supporting young entrepreneurs through mentorship programs, providing community-tailored support such as hospitality training in tourism communities, or organizing unique travel experiences for companies interested in learning more about different international markets, Chambers are sharply focused on empowering each and every member business to succeed.
Simultaneously, the Chamber network – B.C.’s largest business organization – is advocating for policy changes to further drive local businesses’ success.
Right now, for example, B.C.’s Chambers are leading efforts to advocate that the
provincial government maintain a low tax rate for credit unions, which provide a key source of local business fi nancing for communities right across B.C. This is signifi cant because for 44 communities in B.C., there are no alternative lenders. Keeping that credit union tax rate low is critical to seeing suffi cient dollars fl ow into community businesses, both
to launch start-ups and to enable established businesses to secure growth fi nancing.
Chambers are also leading efforts to establish permanent inter-municipal business licenses. These licenses provide business owners with the geographic fl exibility that many need, particularly in areas such as
the construction trades. Right now, inter-municipal business licenses are moving from a pilot project to a permanent fi xture in four Lower Mainland communities; the Chamber network hopes to further build on this success, with a vision of one day having a single cross-B.C. business license.
These are just two positive changes that the Chamber network is leading for B.C. businesses. Among many areas of impact, B.C.’s Chambers have been a leading voice:
• encouraging balanced budgets at all levels of government;
• calling for a made-in-B.C. value-added tax to support businesses in investing in their own growth;
• calling for solutions to B.C.’s skills gap; and
• encouraging municipalities to actively support local economic development.
All of these policy pushes, together with Chambers’ local efforts, empower B.C.’s businesses and drive British Columbians’ success.
So as B.C. celebrates Chamber Week, don’t miss the opportunity to swing by your local Chamber and celebrate the many ways that B.C.’s Chambers empower local businesses and strengthen our communities.
As members of the BC Chamber of Commerce, B.C.’s Chambers are part of B.C.’s most extensive business policy development process, creating dozens of new policies annually to enhance B.C. as a business jurisdiction. Pictured here: Executive Director, Lynn Whitehouse, Past President, Kristine Simpson, and Director, Tammy Rea, at the BC Chamber’s 2015 AGM in Prince George, setting the network’s policy agenda.

• The chamber network in B.C. is the largest, most broadly based business organization in the province.
• There are more than 125 chambers and boards of trade in the BC chamber’s network alone and 36,000 represented businesses.
• The BC Chamber of Commerce represents more than 36,000 small, medium and large British Columbia businesses. The chamber is a key partner and works with government to achieve the goal of making British Columbia the most business-friendly jurisdiction in Canada.
• Chambers exist in every corner of the province.
• Small business makes up 98% of all business in the province and employs more than one million people.
• Small business provides nearly 54% of all private-sector jobs in British Columbia, the highest rate in the country.
• In 2014, approximately 382,600 small businesses were operating in the province, 81% of which had fewer than fi ve employees.
• British Columbia ranks fi rst in Canada for the number of small businesses per capita, with 82.6 businesses per 1,000 people.
The Province has proclaimed Feb. 15-19, 2016, Chamber of Commerce Week in British Columbia.
This proclamation recognizes more than 125 chambers of commerce across the province and the work they do to grow B.C.’s economy and create jobs, Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction Coralee Oakes announced today.
This year’s theme, Empowering B.C. Businesses, celebrates the leadership role that chambers play in their local communities where they build links as business advocates and encourage policies that support business and economic development.
In the past year, the B.C. government has worked closely with the BC Chamber of Commerce to ensure small businesses can participate in economic opportunities and that their voices are heard through participation on B.C.’s Small Business Roundtable. The chamber also helps business owners and their employees develop skills and learn new tools through promotion of the Canada – B.C. Job Grant to its membership.
The BC chamber has been consistent with its message: red tape is one of the biggest burdens business owners face in growing their businesses and creating new jobs. Government has heard that message loudly and clearly and is responding by reducing unnecessary regulatory requirements by more than 43% since 2001.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Whether you are a millennial looking to move out, or you’re planning for retirement, we all want a place to call home. While January tends to see a slow down, so far demand for Fraser Valley homes hasn’t let up at all. Th e MLS® HPI benchmark price of a Fraser Valley single family detached home in January was $689,300 – an increase of 20.6 per cent compared to January 2015 when it was $571,700.“When I bought my house in 1995 I paid $159,000,” says 51-year-old Petra Niemeyer. “Th is year's prop-erty assessment is about $345,000 - a $5,000 increase compared to last year. I rent rooms so I can aff ord the mortgage and have the luxury of having a backyard and a garden.”Niemeyer plans to use her home as her retire-ment plan, which isn’t an uncommon option for many like her who have yet to contribute to an RRSP. Th at being said, knowing what she does now about the market, if she could give her 20-year-old self one piece of advice it would be to save, save, save.“Owning a house is defi nitely a luxury many can't aff ord,” she says. “I believe that some cultures have it right by living together with family or having a suite in the basement as a mortgage helper.”Th e average price of a home in Abbotsford is $509,100; in Surrey prices sit at $690,200 and in Langley it's $698,400.For millennials entering the market, Jorda Maisey, President of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board says that realistically, a twenty-
something individual or couple won’t be able to aff ord a detached home in the heart of some-where like Langley right off the bat.“However, a Realtor can help you look at town-houses in Cloverdale for just over $300,000,
or apartments in Abbotsford for under $150,000,” she adds.For 26-year-old Janelle Cumiskey, buying a house in Abbotsford is a huge priority. “Th e biggest thing for me is to establish myself with credit so I can go get a mortgage when I am ready,” she says. “I am interested in buying a house one day, but hope-fully, it can be when I am married so we can split the down payment.”While it may be a tough time to be a fi rst-time homebuy-er, Maisey says that it’s not neces-sarily causing young people to live
at home or rent for longer than average. “People want to own a home, and see the long-term benefi t of having one – fi nancially, and personally,” she says. “Although, I am seeing a lot of younger home buyers and fi rst-time pur-chasers who are taking their time and getting established before making that step. Whether that’s starting a family, securing a long-term job, or getting used to the neighbourhood, there’s many reasons why millennials may ‘hold back’ rather than take the plunge early.”Luckily for Kristin Stewart (24) and her boy-friend Travis Holloway (29), who just bought their fi rst place in Abbotsford, they had a little help.“We knew that it was something we wanted to do sooner rather than later,” says Stewart. “Tra-vis’s dad gave us $50,000 for a down payment, so that also made it more aff ordable for us.”She adds that since it’s so expensive to buy a
house these days, they don’t think they could have aff orded it as this point was with help.Th e best way millennials can prepare for the future of the housing market is by consulting a professional who can sit down and answer whatever questions they may have. “Th is is the biggest purchase of your life, so feeling informed and supported is critical,” says Maisey. “It’s equally important to get your foot in the door and to feel good about that purchase. You want to cherish your fi rst home rather than purchasing it for the sake of own-ing something. Again, consult a Realtor, and fi nd the best fi t for your situation.”
Although it’s impossible to forecast the changes in the housing market over the next 5-10 years, Maisey advises being smart and knowing your needs and limits so that you can fi nd the best fi t for a fi rst home.“Th ings move so quickly, and it’s shaped by so many factors, that trying to predict what will happen even a few months from now is fruitless,” she says. “Th e important thing is to understand what’s happening now and how it impacts your home or your path to owning one.”Th ere are a lot of options.

Hillary Metcalfe is joining the UBC Thunderbirds swim team next season. Metcalfe has swum competitively for the past 10 years with the Langley Olympians Swim Club.
DAN FERGUSON Langley Times
DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter
Hillary Metcalfe had her fi rst swim practice when she was four years old.
As she recalls it, her butterfl y stroke needed a little work.
“I remember my mom telling me to keep my arms out of the water,” Metcalfe told the Lang-ley Times.
The now-17-year-old Metcalfe has considerably improved her technique since then.
She fi nished third in the 50 breaststroke and fourth in the 100 breaststroke at the Canadi-an Age Group Championships last year.
She was also ranked in the top 10 for 15-17 year olds in the short course 50, 100 and 200 breaststroke and the long course 50 and 100 breaststroke.
“I love racing,” she said.“And I always love having a
challenge.”She is from a family of swim-
mers, with mom, dad and older sister all competing.
When they holiday in Hawaii, she said the family makes sure pool time is built into their schedule.
Metcalfe has been swimming competitively for the Langley Olympians Swim Club since she was seven.
This year, she will be joining the UBC Thunderbirds for the 2016-17 season.
Metcalfe said she chose UBC because it is the best universi-ty team in Canada and close to home.
The UBC Thunderbirds won both the men’s and women’s titles at the 2014-15 CIS Cham-pionships.
The swimswam.com website noted that Metcalfe’s best times “would place her either in or on the cusp of making last year’s fi nals at the CIS Champion-ships in all three breaststroke events.”
GARY AHUJATimes Reporter
John Craighead has been handed a six-year sus-pension from BC Hockey.
Craighead, the coach and general manager of the junior B Langley Knights, was given the stiff sus-pension for his behaviour during a game last Sep-tember.
Craighead confronted the Mission City Outlaws coach on the visitors’ bench during a game at the George Preston Recreation Centre in late Septem-ber. The confrontation occurred while an on-ice brawl was happening and Craighead said at the time he felt his players were in danger.
The on-ice incident sent several Langley players to hospital.
The suspension was announced in late January (Jan. 30) and will last until September 2021. Craig-head had been on an indefi nite suspension from the league since the incident.
“BC Hockey is about delivering a safe environ-ment from our players, coaches, offi cials, parents, fans and administrators, which includes respect for opposing teams,” commented BC Hockey chief executive offi cer Barry Petrachenko in an emailed statement to the Langley Times.
“This is a necessary step we are taking to ensure we send a clear message to participants that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated.
“We expect our coaches to be leaders and em-power players with on and off ice lessons that are inherent to hockey and life skills, including respect, teamwork, leadership and positivity,” said Randy Henderson, the BC Hockey board chair.
“This coach’s actions are contrary to everything BC Hockey wants members to gain from playing hockey.”
After the incident, Craighead had said he took full responsibility for his actions that night and that he had gone to the opposition’s bench for an explana-tion about why Mission’s older players were target-ing the Knights’ youngest players.
Five Langley players and four Mission players were suspended while Outlaws’ coach Brad Veitch was given a 10-game suspension.
Neither Craighead nor the Knights had respond-ed to requests for comment from the Times as of Wednesday afternoon.

Four Trinity Western Spartan athletic teams fi nd themselves ranked in the top 10 nationally for their respective sports.
Leading the way is the Spartans women’s volleyball team which comes in at No. 3 with a 19-3 re-cord.
The team was tied for fi rst heading into last weekend but a weekend split dropped them down two spots.
The men’s volleyball team, meanwhile, moved up two spots from No. 8 to No. 6 after a pair of straight-sets victories improved the team to 13-9.
And the track and fi eld teams are both ranked, with the wom-en’s holding steady at No. 8 while the Spartans men’s team fell from No. 6 to No. 9.
•••The TWU men’s volleyball team
extended their win streak to four matches — without dropping a set in all four — as they swept the Thompson Rivers WolfPack in Kamloops.
The Spartans won 3-0 (25-21,25-23,25-19) on Friday and were led by Ryan Sclater’s 17 kills. Aaron Boettcher had six blocks the fi rst night and another six the next.
On Saturday, they again won 3-0 (25-14,25-23,25-16).
The women’s team was also in Kamloops and after losing 3-1 (25-27,28-26,25-23,27-25) on Fri-
day, they responded with a 3-1 (25-23,25-18,17-25,25-21) victory to earn the split.
Sophie Carpentier tied a team record with 25 kills the fi rst night while Kristin Anton had nine blocks. In Saturday’s win, Eliz-abeth Wendel had 14 kills and Katelyn Devaney had 11 blocks.
Both Spartan teams wrap up the regular season hosting UBC in a pair of matches at the Lang-ley Events Centre tonight (Friday) and Saturday.
The women’s team has qual-ifi ed for the playoffs while the men’s team needs one victory to clinch.
•••The Trinity Western track and
fi eld athletes returned with a handful of medals from the Uni-versity of Washington Open meet over the weekend.
Nathan George won a gold in the 600m and silver in the 200m, fi nishing behind teammate James Linde. Adam Marshall won silver in the 1000m.
Hazel Ross was second in the high jump for the women’s team.
•••A pair of victories over the visit-
ing Manitoba Bisons — 80-62 and 55-48 — have the Trinity Western Spartans in position to qualify for the post-season.
The women’s basketball team improved to 6-12 with the victo-
ries at the Langley Events Centre.TWU trailed 46-45 with under
fi ve minutes to go in the second game before seizing the game with a 10-0 run. Luca Schmidt came up clutch as she made six consecutive free throws during that stretch.
Jessie Brown and Tessa Ratzlaff led the Spartans with a dozen points apiece. The fi rst game saw Kayla Gordon lead the way with 16 points while Brown had 15.
The team plays in Lethbridge for a pair of games to close the regular season.
The men’s team will also wrap up the regular season in Leth-bridge. They fell to 1-17 after losing 101-67 and 91-87 against Manitoba.
•••Despite a 44-29 shot advantage,
the Trinity Western Spartans could not get the victory, falling 3-2 in a shootout to the SFU Clan on Saturday night in Burnaby.
Jamie Russell scored in the third period to force overtime to get the Spartans (11-7-0-2) a sin-gle point, which puts them four back of second place and six back of SFU for top spot in the B.C. In-tercollegiate Hockey League.
PJ Buys had the other TWU goal.
The team has a pair of road games this weekend against Eastern Washington.
Keira Berreth was her team’s recipient of the Fair Play Award.
Berreth is a member of the Langley Thunder U12 girls fi eld lacrosse team, which compet-ed at the provincial championships earlier this month (Feb. 6 to 8).
The championships were held at Port Co-quitlam’s Gates Park.
Langley coach Char-lie Jones also won the Fair Play coach’s award.
The Thunder placed sixth at the champion-ships.
•••A list of gold-medal-
ling winning players provided to the Lang-ley Times inadvertent-ly omitted Connor Watson in last week’s newspaper.
Watson and his Lang-ley Thunder team-
mates captured the gold medal at the B.C. Lacrosse Association U18 tier 1 fi eld lacrosse championships.

Langley Christian Lightning’s Jonas Van Huizen runs into Walnut Grove Gators’ Josh Park (#7) while Nolan Premack provides some back-up defence during the Grade 8 boys Langley district championship game last week (Feb. 11) at the Langley Events Centre. The Gators won the title 72-52, one of three won by Walnut Grove schools. Both junior Gators teams won their divisions — the girls beat Brookswood while the boys defeated Mountain — and the Grade 8 girls Gators team lost in the fi nal to Langley Christian. The Gators and Lightning Grade 8 boys teams both won their opening round games at the Fraser Valley championships and faced each other last night (Thursday).MIRANDAGATHERCOLE Langley Times
Their chances of a playoff berth took a huge hit this last weekend, as the Vancouver Gi-ants earned just one point from two games against the Kam-loops Blazers.
The Giants are 10 points away from the fi nal wild-card posi-tion in the Western Conference of the Western Hockey League (WHL) with a 21-29-7 record.
The Giants lost twice to the Blazers last weekend, falling 5-0 Friday night at the Pacifi c Coliseum in Vancouver and 4-3 in overtime a night later in Ka-mloops.
After mustering no offence in the fi rst game, the Giants jumped ahead 2-0 in game two with David Brum and Alec Baer getting Vancouver on the board.
Kamloops would score three
straight to take a 3-2 lead after 40 minutes but Ty Ronning tal-lied his team-leading 29th goal to force overtime.
The Giants play three times this weekend, including a home-and-home with Kelowna which begins tonight (Friday) in Kelowna before the teams play in Vancouver on Saturday at 7 p.m. The Giants also welcome Kamloops to town on Sunday for a 5 p.m. game.
•••It was good news/bad news
for the Fraser Valley Thunder-birds.
The good news is that the Thunderbirds ended their los-ing streak at fi ve games. The bad news is that the team has now gone winless in sev-en straight B.C. Major Midget
Hockey League games.The Thunderbirds were in
Kelowna over the weekend, where they settled for a pair of ties, playing the Okanagan Rockets to a 1-1 stalemate on Saturday afternoon and then a 3-3 deadlock the following morning.
Kaelen Anderson had the lone Fraser Valley goal in game one while Justin Plett, Justin Har-grave and Logan Hunter scored in game two. Dylan Debruyn had a pair of helpers.
Three times Fraser Valley had a one-goal lead but all three times, the Rockets tied things up.
Fraser Valley is tied for fi fth place in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League with a record of 14-14-8.
Winless weekends for both Giants, Thunderbirds

Safety Tip:If winter doesn’t typically mean snow or ice where you live, other
conditions like darker morning and afternoon commutes and heavy rain can make driving this time of year challenging. Drive safely this winter—slow down and increase your following distance.
Driveway Editor Keith Morgan will entertain and inform at this weekend’s Early Bird RV Show, at Tradex, in Abbotsford.The veteran auto writer will make a multi-media presentation twice on Saturday called “RVing for Novices” during which he will share tips and jokes about his recent six-day, 1,200-kilometre road trip through B.C. Showgoers will see all the latest equipment and get the opportunity to win a Wildwood X-Lite travel trailer valued at $20,995.

‘‘No surprise that the fourth-generation model is a hybrid but placing the emphasis on that fact is totally inadequate and undersells its other attributes.’’Keith Morgan
It would be no more than an unimag-inative statement of the obvious to describe the all-new 2016 Toyota Prius, as a gas/electric hybrid powered car.Obvious perhaps because since its launch back in 1997 its nameplate has only ever been offered with a hybrid power unit. Clever marketing ensured Prius became synonymous with green driving and the badge showed all that owners were environmentally con-scious. Since then, Toyota has sold more than 3.5-million Prius models largely on the strength of that green cred.No surprise that the fourth-generation model is a hybrid but placing the em-phasis on that fact is totally inadequate and undersells its other attributes. The Japanese giant has not abandoned the trumpeting of the car’s green nature but it’s much more low key in its new marketing campaign. Instead, Toyota is trying to persuade potential buyers that this new version is ready to compete in the main-stream against conventional gas-powered sedans based on price, performance, technology, safety and, yes, looks!Let’s get the latter point out of the way, right away. It has never been a looker but with its new sleek, lower stance it is as close to sporty as you are likely to get in a Prius. It appears to these eyes that red livery gives it a sharpest appearance but blue looks good too. Less enthused about paler renderings.Toyota Canada vice-president Stephen Beatty says the brand wants to “break the cycle of psychology
about gas prices fuelling hybrid sales.” At the risk of incurring the wrath of the Toyota marketing department (not that it would bother me), that’s going to be a tough sell. The 2016 edition achieves still more fuel economy gains and that will continue as a purchase persuader.And the price is right, an equal driver of sales in my opinion: three trims starting at $25,995, which is $300 less than the outgoing third gen model.Opening the doors reveals some things don’t change. As is the norm, the instrument panel is in the centre, which always takes me a few drives to get used to. What is different is the arrangement of the info screens, all the stuff you need to pilot safely features on a pair of side-by-side LED screens, which essentially form a single display,
and that sits neatly above a larger infotainment screen separated by the heating vents.The base console is an uninspiring black plastic but it’s replaced by an off-white colour on the other trims. That might take a time to grow on me.The enlarged platform, smaller batteries and recon-figuration of where they sit, behind and under the rear seat translates into much more cabin room and a more comfy rear seat ride. (Incidentally, the base model keeps the nickel-metal-hydride units, whereas the top trim with a technology package used the lithium-ion battery.)
The Toyota Safety Sense system will be available on all but the base model: Pre-collision system, lane departure alert, automatic high beams, and dynamic radar cruise control. A technology package will add blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert, full-colour heads up display, an intelligent parking and warning system with 12 sonar sensors posi-tioned around the vehicle. This will give the driver the opportunity to park – parallel or perpendicular – without laying a hand on the steering wheel. That’s
what an additional $590 gets you along with heated front seats. Even the most loaded editions barely pass $33,000.Promise I’ll get behind that wheel soon. The new Prius uses a revised
version of Toyota’s 1.8-litre-Atkinson cycle engine. The official fuel economy numbers are not out yet but internal testing revealed a fuel efficiency of 4.5L/100KM (city/highway combined). The launch drive in Vancouver suggested the 4.5 number is far from being a dream.Okay, we’re off. Normal and Power driving modes suggest this actually might be a fun drive. Normal errs on the side of economy-optimized performance. Power packs some fun into the Prius, without serious compromising fuel economy.The car is a gem in the city as you would expect and spirited on the highway, especially when the Power mode is selected. To be fair, I didn’t feel the need to explore my inner Boy Racer too many times.Looking forward to spending a week in the car when I can truly put it to the test in real world conditions.

Low loonie and lower gas prices will bring RV crowds to Tradex
driveway
Organizers of this weekend’s Earlybird RV Show and Sale at Tradex in Abbotsford are optimistic that the trend towards so-called ‘staycations’ will result in more people enjoy-ing the RV lifestyle.
A recent Conference Board of Canada report showed that Canadian travel within the coun-try increased by 2.8 per cent last year and is ex-pected to increase again by 2.4 per cent this year – primarily due to the low loonie and lower gas prices.
“Th ere is no question that a low Canadian dollar and lower gas prices are encouraging people to spend their vacation dollars closer to home and many of those individuals look toward RVing,” says Amanda Henschell, organizer of British Columbia’s only spring
RV show.“Every year we see
more people attending our show and sale. I expect the 2016 show will attract even more attendees as fans from past years and curious
onlookers recognize RVs make for a perfect holiday because they allow for fl exibility in planning and in many cases are simply more aff ordable.”
In Canada, the Rec-
reation Vehicle Dealers Association of Canada reported since 2012, the RV industry had been growing steadily with a marked increase

I want to take the time to thank you for the fantastic new Rogue I now drive and LOVE! I like most people dread the thought of coming to a car dealership and being cornered into a something I’m not interested in. However that was far from the case when working with Rena at Jonker Nissan. From the follow-up email to my initial inquiry she was professional and listened to what was interested in. She provided me with several different options with various different price points being sure to point out the different benefits of each option. She was delightful to work with; I didn’t expect to purchase a new vehicle that day but Rena instilled confidence in your organization and the vehicle I wanted so I was very comfortable making that decision immediately and I have not suffered buyer’s remorse on that decision, quite the opposite...I love the new Rogue! Rebekah Crowley
Over the last year, as we prepared to transition to retirement, we visited most automotive dealers in the Surrey/Langley/White Rock area in search of the right combination of vehicles that would best serve us. In the spring, we had the good fortune to meet with Les Flewelling from Jonker Nissan. Les presented us with a knowledgeable, straight forward and honest approach. Les quickly gained our trust. In May we took possession of our 2015 Nissan Murano and in September a 2015 Nissan Micra. Between our two purchases, Les also sold one of our children a previously owned Nissan. In retrospect, there is absolutely no doubt that Les and the Jonker Nissan team that supports him was the right choice for us and our family. We have great confidence in recommending Jonker Nissan to others. John
We bought a Nissan Juke and had a wonderful buying experience at Jonkers. Our salesman Mr. Vonn Chan is not pushy and very knowledgeable. We shopped around and Vonn gave us the best deal! Aileen Mendozae
Rena was amazing! She knew all the answers to the many questions… We ended up with the Pathfinder and because she was so thorough we didn’t have any questions at the end. Rena made us feel that our business really mattered to her. We didn’t feel like just another sale which is so nice. This is our 3rd Nissan and we know why! Lisae
We were looking to buy a sedan, we called several dealers including Jonker Nissan. The salesman on the phone was very friendly and polite. We live in Abbotsford but because of how nice Vonn was on the phone we decided to go see him the next day. We were more impressed with his professionalism and how he took care of us, so we bought a brand new Sentra from him. Thank you so much Vonn. Mr. & Mrs. Gill
Rena was fantastic and made it feel like a family environment which allowed us to make a confident as well as educated decision in our first family vehicle. Jesse

Kia Niro hybrid utility vehicle strikes a balanceA key component to Kia Motors’
Green Car Roadmap was unveiled at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto last week as Kia hosted the global debut of the all-new 2017 Niro Hybrid Utility Vehicle (HUV)
The all-new Niro strikes the perfect balance for today’s consumers and stakes claim to a unique position between the hybrid-electric vehicle and CUV segments.
Niro is the first Kia to make use of an all-new, dedicated eco-car platform and is an important next step on the path to nearly tripling the brand’s global green car line-up by 2020.
A plug-in hybrid powertrain is due to be added to the car’s line-up later in its life cycle.
The Niro sports wide and low proportions with a long roofline and short overhangs that give it an overall athletic profile.
Although the Niro has a cohesive crossover theme, it was designed with aerodynamics
in mind, with its carefully shaped bodywork contributing to a relatively slippery coefficient of drag of 0.29.
Motivating the Niro is a highly efficient and engaging powertrain starting with an
all-new, state-of-the-art Kappa 1.6-litre GDI four-cylinder engine, engineered specifically for hybrid applications. Making 103 hp, the new engine marks the first combination of the Atkinson Cycle, cooled exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR), GDI and a long-stroke-narrow-bore specification to maximize efficiency.
A 43 hp tractive motor, known as the transmission-mounted electric device (TMED), works in tandem with the gasoline engine to produce a robust 146 hp and 195 lb/ft of torque.
Power is transmitted through a newly developed, second-generation six-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), which not only boosts efficiency but is also a key factor to the Niro’s great driving experience.
Bringing the whole system together is a compact and lightweight 1.56-kWh Lithium-Ion Polymer battery located underneath the rear seat.
Because the high-voltage battery is both power and energy dense,
engineers were able to use the downsized gasoline engine to maximize fuel economy and reduce emissions.~ Metroland Media
The Kia Niro is a no-compromise hybrid package, maintaining the style and appeal of a utility vehicle while offering outstanding fuel economy.

GM Canada joins automotive research lab Ontariodriveway
GM Canada president and managing director, Steve Carlisle, along with Iain Klugman, CEO, Communitech, cut a “digital ribbon” to open “2908 at Communitech” - the first automotive company in Canada to establish a lab presence at the leading Waterloo based accelerator.
“One of GM’s top priorities is to disrupt traditional automotive business models, including our own, in order to anticipate our customers’ needs, today and long into the future,” said Carlisle.
“With changing technology, we see tremendous opportunities for GM, Ontario and Canada in an automotive future that is increasingly electric, connected, shared and autonomous. With ‘2908 at Communitech’, we will knock down old approaches, find new partners and boldly go where future mobility is headed.”
Initial areas of focus for the GM Canada team at Communitech will be to explore and experiment with advanced smartphone applications, and new ride-sharing services and approaches.
The team will also explore new partnering opportunities to incubate new ideas for urban, multi-modal transportation systems that combine public transit, ride sharing and advance the mandate of the Canadian Engineering Centre to build a fleet of autonomous Chevrolet Volt vehicles.
Last year, GM Canada was awarded new connected car software and engineering mandates and it recently announced the company will do the builds of new autonomous driving electric vehicles in Oshawa Ontario to support GM’s recently announced autonomous vehicle test program at its Tech Centre in Warren Michigan.
The ‘2908’ team will also explore new opportunities in multi-modal transportation including new ways for
customers and cities to integrate e-bikes, such as the one currently being engineered at its Canadian Engineering
Centre in Oshawa. GM recently
announced its $500 million investment in Lyft and its plan to develop
autonomous ride-sharing vehicles programs together.
The name “2908 at Communitech” evokes a
vision of General Motors 1000 years after the company’s founding in 1908 in Canada.
GM has been Canada’s
automotive engineering leader in Canada since it opened its Canadian Engineering Centre in Oshawa in 1999 and it
has developed strong relationships with Canadian engineering suppliers and University R&D partners.

JOHN CALLAAugust 30, 1929 – November 20, 2015
John passed away at home surrounded by family and friends. John was born in North Vancouver to Carmelo (Carmen) Calla and Catherina Maria (Mary) Calla. John married the love of his life, Margaret (nee Ljunggren) in 1948 and was married to her for 65 years. John’s beautiful Margaret passed away March 22, 2014.
John was predeceased by his parents, son Terrance, daughter Kathleen, and his siblings, Antonio (Olive), Victor (Betty), Francesco, and Nicodemo. He is survived by his sisters Angelina Gauvin, daughters: Deborah (Norman) Ralkie, Penny (Patrick) Giesbrecht and his son David (Shirley Arda), daughter-in-law Mary Calla.
John and Margaret lived in North Van, Aldergrove and settled in W. Vancouver for many years. They moved to Qualicum Beach in the mid 1980’s with the thought of retiring. John was in the concrete business his whole life. He thrived on hard work and physical labour and restarted in business again in the Oceanside area. He taught countless men a trade and turned many boys into men in his lifetime.
John was a character with a sense of wisdom carved from a lifetime of experience. He had a wicked sense of humor that was cutting edge. You can be sure if you ever met him that you would never forget him. He did things his way as the song goes and spoke his mind and intention clearly and with hand signals for effect, at times. His sayings and behaviors will be missed and never forgotten. He was made of hard stuff - a self made man with the heart of an army - loving, charming, hard and soft, clever and dependable. He was an amazing husband who cared for his wife when she had a prolonged illness. In recent years he became a short order cook, taxi driver, and a mentor for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren on the acreage known fondly as “Callaland”.
His hobbies included: swearing, directing, RV-ing, ballroom dancing, cooking, building pagodas and gardening. He left a legacy of children, 12 grandkids and 20 great grandkids.
A special thank you to all who made it possible for John to be home, to go home. Thank-you Norm Ralkie Sr., Norm Ralkie Jr., and Andrea Kingsley, Kelly, Tyler, Alex and Alisha Jones, Cheryl and Wes Coyle, Lyn Warrington, Jennifer Huebschwerlen, Dr. Desai and Lorin, Home & Community Support, Oceanside Hospice and Yates.
Graveside service to be held at Murrayville Cemetary at a later date.
