LAWYERS DRAWN INTO DISP UTE OVER CITY ZONING BYLAW PARAMETERS B REN D A AN D E R SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A Clayton Heights man who hoped to open an indoor shooting range in the former A&B Sound building on the Langley Bypass has had his plan shot down by the City of Langley — twice. The reason for denying Dustin Sikora a business licence, City officials said, is that the building in question is zoned for recreational use, and a shooting range does not fit the criteria. The City’s argument is that recreation is defined in its bylaws as an opportunity to perform a physical activity, such as swimming, skating, bowling, golf and the like. Sikora, who consulted a lawyer after being denied a licence by staff, appeared before council on Monday night, in an effort to have them reverse the decision, which they have the authority to do. He pointed out that while billiards is specifically excluded as a recreational activity under the bylaw, shooting is not mentioned and therefore cannot be banned. And, as an official event at the Summer Olympic Games, shooting is, by definition, a sport, he said. However the City, which

consulted its own legal counsel prior to Monday’s meeting, contends that the absence of indoor shooting from the list of approved activities means that it is, in fact, prohibited. Sikora was given the option of applying to have the building rezoned — a process that could take a few months and would require a public hearing — but Sikora called it a “stall tactic” that would cost him time and an additional $4,000 to $5,000. “It’s an inappropriate process for what the argument is,” he said. Langley City CAO Francis Cheung acknowledged that even if Sikora decided to apply for a rezoning, there is no guarantee he would be successful. Instead, Sikora opted to plead his case before council. Joined by more than a dozen supporters — many of them military and law enforcement members — Sikora spoke for several minutes on Monday night. But following his presentation, council members voted unanimously to uphold staff’s decision, without asking Sikora any questions or discussing the matter at all.

When autumn is at its worst, Miele is at its best.

From mooning officers and calling them ‘pigs’ to one commercial vehicle driver with a cellphone in each hand while trying to steer, it doesn’t appear Langley residents are getting the message about the dangers of distracted driving. Despite prohibitions on driving while using a cellphone being in effect for four years now, still a total of 872 drivers were ticketed in the month of September during a Langley RCMP campaign. During the month-long campaign, both officers in plain clothes and some in full uniform ticketed people. They documented what they saw, and it’s pretty bad. Four police officers in high visibility jackets and one marked police car were writing tickets in the southbound lanes, while drivers going northbound could be seen talking on their phones as they went by. One woman drove through a red light while texting. The most common excuses were: ‘It’s work/child/spouse calling, I have to answer’, or ‘I was just answering to let them know I couldn’t talk,’ or ‘the phone is on speaker so it’s hands-free.’ More than one driver said they didn’t have their cellphone to their ear, it was a wallet, said police. As well as handing out distracted driving tickets, two drivers were impaired as well, three drug seizures were made and 442 seatbelt tickets were issued. As of Oct. 20, distracted drivers will receive three-point penalities on their licences in addition to the fines.

Ron Komm told Langley Township council that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints would prefer a more subdued colour scheme in a new proposed housing development that is to be built across 82 Avenue from the temple.

‘Subdued’ colours win the day for development near temple D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

Changes have been ordered to the style and colour scheme of a proposed Langley housing development, after the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints temple objected. A delegation from the temple told the Monday evening meeting of council that the proposed look of Qualico Developments’ 29 row house units and eight semi-detached units in four buildings would clash with the classical design of the nearby temple, at the corner of 82 Avenue and 204 Street. The Qualico design features vertical vinyl siding, cedar shingles and a choice of colour schemes that includes shades of orange, red and green. It isn’t a good match with the

granite temple’s classic design, temple president Ron Komm said. “A more classical style would certainly be in order,” Komm said. “The building across the street [the temple] is designed to last a thousand years.” Project architect Brian Shigetomi told council the colours, which he described as “a bit punchy” could be altered. Council sent the project back to staff to discuss colour and design changes with the builder. “I think we’re pretty happy [with the outcome],” Komm told The Times. Last year, church elders objected to the plan to build higher-density housing next to the Mormon temple, saying

it could create problems with people using the temple parking lot. They suggested single family homes would be preferable near the 28,165 square-foot temple, but after the developer said it wouldn’t be practical, the multiple-units proposal was approved. The Langley temple was dedicated in May of 2010. It is the seventh built in Canada by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It serves 22,000 Mormons from 91 congregations throughout B.C. and northern Washington. The temple, which is not open to non-members, is reserved for the sacraments of the Mormon church, such as baptism and marriage.

Langley RCMP have a new officer in charge. The Township and City of Langley announced that Insp. Murray Power has been appointed as the new superintendent of the Langley detachment. Supt. Derek Cooke left his post in July for Jerusalem, where he is working in a peacekeeping in policing role there. Since his departure, two police inspectors, one of them Power, have been in charge of operations until a permanent top cop was hired. Both Langley mayors were part of the hiring process. “I am extremely excited to undertake the new challenges in my new role as the Officer in Charge,” said Power. “I am very proud of the membership here in Langley and what they accomplish each and every day. I am confident we will continue to provide the highest level of police service to the citizens of

the Langleys.” He came to Langley in 2013 from his position as Officer in Charge of Operations for Greater Vancouver Drug Section. Power came to Langley as the Operations Support Officer. He has been a member of the RCMP since 1989 and has worked in Mission general duty, property crime, serious crime, Community Response Unit and IHIT. “Murray’s diverse experience and knowledge will benefit our community greatly,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese. “We welcome Murray to his new role and are confident in his ability to deliver effective services to our residents.” “Murray Power brings a wealth of experience, passion and dedication to innovative and efficient community policing,” said City of Langley Acting Mayor Ted Schaffer. “We look forward to working together in support of our continued mission to build a vibrant, healthy and safe community for our citizens.”

Senior gets no jail time MONIQUE TA MMING A Tim es Reporte r

A Langley senior was given an 18-month conditional sentence for stealing a brand new Dodge pickup in a test drive and several property theft crimes two years ago. A trial concluded last month and 74-year-old Roelof Den Dryver was found guilty of theft over $5,000, stolen property over $5,000 and reporting a crime that was false. He was acquitted on a charge of assaulting a police officer. He was sentenced on Friday in Surrey Provincial Court. After a lengthy investigation,

charges were laid against him and his co-accused Derek Hall, 31. They are accused of stealing a bulldozer and trailer. Den Dryver attended a local dealership and test drove a new 2012 Dodge pickup. A short time later, he reported to police that he had been carjacked and the truck had been stolen. Later that month, Langley RCMP received a report of a new Dodge pickup truck parked in the trees on the property where the two men live in the 6600 block of 256 Street. However, when officers went there, no truck was found. Hall is expected to be back in court in December.

As Sikora was leaving the room, acting Mayor Ted Schaffer addressed him. “Mr. Sikora, you will be in contact with staff, no doubt. . . . Good luck in your endeavours in business,” Schaffer said. “Last night was a real downer,” said Sikora, speaking over the phone on Tuesday. Sikora said he was more disappointed with the process than with the result, calling the City’s licensing practise “arbitrary.” “There was no discussion, no questions . . . It was pre-ordained. They had decided in camera (how they would vote),” he said.

Sikora said his facility would serve two purposes. The first would be to offer a location where law enforcement officers, who have to re-qualify regularly to carry their firearms, could shoot indoors at a standard distance of 25 metres. The second would be to provide the general public with a place to shoot indoors. Sikora said he was aware there is a daycare centre located next to the building, but doesn’t believe the two businesses would have been in conflict with one another as people using the facility would be trained to handle firearms safely. He said he was also prepared

to adhere to any noise bylaws. Sikora will now pursue plans to open his business, which he plans to call “The Range — Langley” within the Township. “The plan now is to go back to the Township that has been extremely co-operative and exercise the business license that they’ve already processed,” said Sikora. “I guess the City of Langley is not ‘the place to be.’ The Township is. We should be open for business in a true municipal democracy this January.” Despite his plan to locate his business in the Township, Sikora hasn’t ruled out taking the City to court.

Mayor’s race on in Township D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

There will be no elections by acclamation in both Langley City and Langley Township. The Langley Township mayoralty campaign became a two-way race on Monday, when Serena Yeong Oh filed papers to run against incumbent Jack Froese. Oh, a Murrayville resident, could not be reached for comment by The Times’ press deadline on Wednesday. According to Dr. Paul Yang, who signed the nomination papers for Oh, she is the same person who was involved in a two-year-long court fight with the city of Burnaby over a secondary suite which began in 2008. Oh, a realtor with more than 15 years experience, had refused to allow a Burnaby inspector to enter a property she owned to investigate a complaint of an illegal suite. No secondary suites are allowed anywhere in Burnaby except for in-law suites, which must by occupied by a relative. After Oh refused access on two occasions, the city got a court order to do so. When city officials confirmed the suite was built without permits and contravened the zoning bylaw, they ordered her to remove a wall, sink and stove in November 2009. The matter went all the way to the B.C. Court of Appeal in 2010, with Oh arguing she was denied a fair trial due to factors such as language problems, self-representation and not having enough time to prepare. She lost. The appeal court justices said the documents she prepared for the case did not reveal difficulties with the use of English language. The court proceedings were not of a complex nature “and the appellant, as a realtor, could be expected to be aware that zoning bylaws impose limitations on the use of property.” In January 2010, after meeting with city council, Oh wrote to the city saying “I am in critical moment financially. One, my property is on judgment. Two, heavy debt. Three, virtually no income for two years.” According to an online profile, a “Serena Oh” stopped being a realtor in 2012. The profile said she was “looking for new opportunities at Langley, B.C.” Yang said Oh moved to Langley in the last “two or three” years. — with files from Black Press

Cranberry Festival set for Saturday The 19th annual Cranberry Festival is taking place in Fort Langley, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

There will be no parking of any kind on 80 Avenue, but there could be a gravel lot with 13 spaces and time-limited parking on side streets to improve visitor parking in the area. The attempt at a cure for residents’ complaints about a shortage of street parking was approved by council on Monday, Sept. 29. The vote came after Township transportation engineering manager Paul Cordeiro warned against any move to allow temporary parking on a four-lane stretch of 80 Avenue until the rest of the road has been widened from two lanes to four. Cordeiro said that is some-

thing that no other municipality in Metro Vancouver has done, would pose potential safety problems and set a precedent that would bring other neighbourhoods to council who want more on-street parking. He added 80 Avenue is designated an arterial road that will become “probably one of the most critical east-west corridors” in Langley. Cordeiro said the best way to improve on-street parking would be to impose time limits during the day to ensure a turnover of vehicles. He said building temporary offstreet parking spaces on a grassy

stretch of 80 Avenue near 212 would be preferable to parking on 80 Avenue itself, but that would cost about $50,000. Ashish Kapoor, one of the residents who has lobbied for a parking solution, told council his neighbours favour a “twopronged strategy” that would combine temporary parking with time limits. Council obliged by approving a referendum of Yorkson residents on time limited parking, something that will need a twothirds vote to pass. The mayor and councillors also voted to have Township staff see if money can be found for the “grassy stretch” parking.

Question langeytimes.com

The provincial government has asked residents to take part in discussions about improvements to the transportation system over the next 10 years. While public consultation is always a good idea, the province’s On The Move document, which provides information to guide public discussion, is missing some key elements. While it makes reference to BC Ferries and to the Metro Vancouver transit system, neither is part of the discussion the ministry wants to have. Bridge tolls are completely ignored. The guide asks participants a series of very general questions which do not even mention ferries or tolls, and make just passing reference to transit. This comes just a few weeks after the provincial government’s approach to BC Ferries was roundly condemned by the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and a report commissioned by that body stated that the cuts to ferry service and increased fares have reduced B.C. economic activity by $2 billion. As for transit within Metro Vancouver, mayors are supposed to be putting together priorities for a referendum, scheduled to be held next spring. While a great number of projects have been proposed, the means to pay for all these ambitious projects remains very elusive. It is obvious that the province does not plan to give up any revenue, and property taxes to fund TransLink are already high. Boosting the gas tax will just send more people south of the border, and impact local businesses even more. Adding new taxes to pay for more transit projects will be a tough sell, particularly given the soft state of the economy. Most people are not enjoying increased incomes, and high housing prices and already-high taxes are sapping disposable income. The province seems determined to whistle its way by these major concerns about transportation. While there are many other priorities and public input is very helpful, ignoring several of the biggest transportation issues does not seem reasonable.

Complacency is a great enabler of crime. It’s the perfect medium where illegal behaviour can take root and flourish. We often don’t even know it’s happening. We assume an incident is isolated; that it won’t happen again; that reporting it to police will do no good. But crime prevention is like pulling weeds: they’re easier to pull one at a time. Ignoring them, or avoiding the job for too long, only makes the task more difficult. That’s why programs like Agri-Watch are so important. They provide the tools necessary to respond quickly and effectively when our neighbourhoods are at risk. Modelled after Block Watch, it demonstrates the power of numbers. It shows that neighbours watching out for neighbours can be an effective deterrent against property crimes. Tapping the power of social media, and working in concert with RCMP, the program enables residents to be better aware of potential problems in their area. It allows them to share information, compare notes and take precautions. That’s not always the case. Rural crime often goes unreported for a couple of reasons. One is that the insurance deductible is higher than in an urban neighbourhood. Consequently, the loss of a power tool or the disappearance of fuel might not warrant a call to the insurance broker and therefore a report to police. And yet these calls are exactly what police need to track crime and identify hotspots. It provides the intelligence that allows them to focus resources where they’re needed. But it also gives neighbours the heads-up that something isn’t right. Maybe that unfamiliar blue truck parked in the neighbour’s yard shouldn’t be there. It would be nice to think of our pastoral landscape as immune to crime. But it’s not. And proactive initiatives like Block Watch and AgriWatch give us the tools to fight back. — Chilliwack Progress

Important to Secrecy over property sales must end gradually build near facilities Editor: The front page of The Times (Oct. 2), with the “No money for schools” story, highlights how dumb Langley’s development process is. The article basically stated that our highly-paid planners never considered that when thousands of homes are built on what was once a forest, these same homes would be bought by people who have kids, and these same kids would grow up and need to go to school. Now, the idea is to bus kids from where they live (in what was once a forest) to schools in older areas of Langley that need kids. Great, that is real Earth-friendly. When these highly-paid Township staff went to university, did they all skip Urban Planning/Demographics 101? “They” like to make it all complicated, yet it can be real simple: 1 — No development unless you have a legally-binding 20-year capital plan for education. 2 — Focus building of new homes near existing schools and bus routes. In other words, do not bulldoze acres of forest and pasture in the middle of nowhere, until you have looked at every way possible to gradually densify near things you already have. MIKE MCPHEE, LANGLEY

Clean-up needed Editor: Apparently, there are many dog owners who feel justified for not cleaning up after their dogs. I have put up a sign, asking owners to take their dog waste with them, but to no avail. How would they feel if they are the mail persons and must put mail into a mailbox with feces underneath? Or if they cut the grass and have pieces of feces flying all over? Worst is, there are people who put the waste in a blue plastic bag, then leave the bag behind. What good is that? I see this often, not only on my lawn, but also on the trails or in parks. How would they feel if the same thing is done to their properties? To those people, I beg you, please be considerate. Clean after your dogs and dispose of the feces properly. If you cannot and will not do this, please keep your dogs off other people’s properties, or let them wear dog diapers. L. SCHULTZ, LANGLEY

Editor: On March 20, The Times reported that Township staff were preparing a report for Township council, identifying Township-owned properties that could be sold to pay for future infrastructure. We are concerned about the implications of this article. Six months have passed without this staff report being made public. We write on the assumption that it has not yet been presented to council. As the article acknowledges, past and present policy with regard to the sale of what the Township has identified as “surplus property” has generated much controversy. The approach the Township has taken appears to many to be secretive and reactive. There is an obvious need for a process with greater transparency, one grounded in sound planning. The lands belonging to the Township are the collective property of the community of Langley. Decisions reD A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s garding the management of “surplus properties” greatly impact the public Kirk Robertson of the Watchers of Langley Forests (WOLF) group (left) was among nearly good and will affect the patterns of 100 people who attended a Langley Township council hearing in January on an application future development in the neigh- to develop 19 acres of Township-owned land near 28 Avenue and 276 Street. bourhoods in which they are located.

Carla Robin is running for a seat on Langley city council. “Langley is the best place to call home and has an exciting future. As a councillor, I will dedicate my efforts to the future of the City of Langley as articulated in the ongoing action plans, supporting its concept of ‘The Place to Be.’ CARLA “The urban rebranding of the ROBIN City of Langley and the evolution of its image has resulted in the creation of numerous strategic plans which are ripe for implementation. I will dedicate my efforts to the implementation of those that will further the development in the City of new housing and commerce within the framework of the complex social and environmental challenges that must be addressed sooner rather than later.” Robin spent over 30 years in land development, construction and property management, and said that experience can be utilized “to assess and assist in the implementation of the City’s strategic and master plans. Moving forward with increased residential density and commercial activity in the City core areas will promote a vibrant downtown atmosphere.” She said “I will strive to ensure that the 20142018 financial plan for the City will include an open and transparent dialogue with the community where needed. The City is fortunate to have significant revenue from the Cascades Casino. It is prudent to be prepared for the contingency should this be reduced or eliminated, issues that need to be addressed now.” She has been part of numerous committees including the City’s Recreation, Culture and Public Art Committee, Tourism Langley and Sport Langley boards. She was the first co-ordinator for the Langley Seniors Community Action Table. She brought the City’s community groups together for the Langley Youth Spirit Festival 2011 at H.D. Stafford. She ran for Langley Township council in 2011. She can be reached at c.robin@telus.net, via Facebook at Carla Robin for City Council, www. carlarobin.ca and at 604-220-6906.

Grandstanding by local politicians Every year when B.C.’s municipal politicians get together to preach to the provincial cabinet, there comes a point in the maze of resolutions where things go sideways. Last year it was a misinformed, impossible demand to ban all traces of genetic engineering. Before that they thumbed their mobile phones and denounced wireless power meters. Both votes passed by narrow margins in a half-empty chamber, with many delegates focused on the serious community issues they are elected to address. This year it was a charge led by Burnaby to denounce the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion. And this time it was defeated. Credit for this sudden attack of common sense goes largely to North Cowichan Councillor Al Siebring. Here’s part of his address to the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are elected to handle things like roads and water and sewer and land use, police, fire, garbage. We’re not here to talk about social policy, child poverty or heaven forbid, pipelines. “Those kinds of things dilute our credibility as an organization. We’re becoming a social policy activist group rather than a group of municipal politicians. “Half of this resolutions book is stuff that’s outside of our purview…. If you want to do so-

Langley gun club keeps municipal tax exemption ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT HIRED TO CLEAN UP POTENTIAL LEAD CONTAMINATION AT RANGE DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The Langley Rod and Gun Club (LRGC) will keep its tax-exempt status even though it failed to meet a Township deadline to address a potential lead contamination problem at the Brookswood shooting range. On Monday (Oct. 6), council voted to renew the municipal tax exemption for the 37.5 acre Brookswood property the non-profit LRGC uses for indoor and outdoor shooting near 40 Avenue and 208 Street, a saving

of $26,205. A report by Township staff had suggested the tax break should be cut in half because the club had been slow to respond to a provincial ministry of the environment demand to have the site tested for possible lead contamination from old shotgun shells. The report said council could eliminate the tax break altogether because the club was warned last year that it could lose its exempt status if it failed to address the problem.

But since the club hired an environmental consultant to tackle the issue last month, “there appears to be an effort to comply,” the report said. Based on that, Councillor Bob Long convinced the rest of council to restore a full tax exemption. Environment Canada banned the use of lead shot for hunting most migratory game bird species in 1999, but it is still allowed on shooting ranges. At press time, the LRGC had not responded to a Times request for comment.

The Langley Times www.langleytimes.com Ask Don & Kevin Today’s topic is: Top Risks for Private Companies

Q: What are the top three risks that private companies face? How can I mitigate these risks? A: Dealing with risk is a natural part of running a business, and taking the right kinds of risks can reap big rewards. Owners also need to be aware of potential risks that could seriously harm their enterprise. Here are three to watch out for: 1. Knowledge residing with just one or a few individuals in your company. In business, knowledge is power. In many smaller companies (and even some large ones), only one or two key people hold essential knowledge about the company’s operations. Business owners should ensure that they are prepared to lose anyone and still be able to carry on without risk to the company. One way to mitigate this risk is cross training of various positions to make sure you’ve got more than one person with knowledge in a particular role. Also, “key man” insurance is a way to reduce some of the potential financial risk. 2. Lagging behind with technology, or not ensuring your systems are properly backed up. Often it can be very difficult to keep your technology up to date. However, you may be left behind by the competition if you’re not willing to keep aware of new technological opportunities. We find that when companies do upgrade the way they are doing things, they realize, “We’re able to do a lot more, and we’re able to do it better.”

As well, you need to ask yourself – are my systems properly backed up? And if so, is the backup on site, or should it be stored remotely in the cloud? 3. Not paying enough attention to reputational risk. One of the tag lines we use at KPMG is: We help you build value, protect value and realize value. Part of protecting value is being aware of reputational risk. You need to take the time to step back from the dayto-day operations and make sure that you’ve given it some thought. Is your company being run and managed in such a way that you’re building a good reputation? Reputation is your standing in the community. It’s your customer service. It’s how you take care of your employees and provide a safe work environment. It’s anything and everything. If you’re involved in social media and not aware of what’s being said about your company, you may be at risk of having your brand damaged. You need to have a risk management strategy in place in case something goes wrong. Our overall advice when it comes to risk is, be aware of your surroundings. Sometimes, you can get so caught up in running your own business that you don’t notice how the world has been changing around you. For more information, please contact our Langley Office at (604)455-4000 for an initial no charge consultation. Don Matthew and Kevin Mickelby, KPMG Partners

Advertorial

Mitchell seeks Township seat Kevin Mitchell has decided to run for one of the eight councillor seats on Langley Township council. A professional engineer, Mitchell ran as an independent in the 2013 provincial election in the Fort Langley-Aldergrove riding. He received 672 votes. His goals are to stem rising legal costs; fix the Official Community Plan process; stop spot zoning in the Agricultural Land Reserve; apply lessons learned from Willoughby development and reduce capital spending. “During the period 2009– 2013, council approved more than $5.8 million in legal bills, defending actions including Athenry Gate and Coulter Berry,” he say. He condemned council for advancing the Brookswood-Fernridge community plan by accepting a $500,000 “loan” from land owners in the area, to pay for the completion of the Griffith Neighbourhood Plan. “The plan drafted (proposed) more than tripling the current population of the area.

Blueberry cannon noise complaints have dropped D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

The number of complaints about audible bird scare devices has fallen since the Township of Langley imposed tighter restrictions on blueberry cannons in June of last year. A report to the municipal agricultural advisory committee says there were four noise complaints during the 2014 growing season, compared to 15 in 2013. However, the Sept. 18 update also shows most Langley blueberry farms are still

not registering their noisemakers with the Township. During the 2014 season, the report shows that just 12 of the estimated 125 blueberry farms operating in the Township registered. In 2013, 13 registered. Under the new bylaw, blueberry farmers have to get a $125-a-year licence to register their bird scare devices with the Township of Langley, as well as post a notice before they use one. During the 2014 growing season, there were nine complaints about farmers failing

to display their registration in a visible location. Some blueberry farmers have complained the bylaw unfairly singles them out. The new Township bylaws restrict how often blueberry cannons can be fired, allowing one firing every five minutes for a single cannon. They also require a 100-metre setback from horse trails. The bylaw sets escalating fines for violating the rules, $150 for a first offence, $350 for a second and $500 for a third and any subsequent offence.

She has worked with her children in the public, home schooling and distant learning environments. She has been involved in a school planning council, Langley Parents in Partners in Learning, Special Education Committee, Parent Advisory Council, has been a DPAC rep and been on the executive of the Langley DPAC. She believes in educating, mediating and advocating for those who don’t have a voice. She wants to open doors further for education and supSUZANNE port for the neurodiverse (also known as the learning dis- P E R R E A U LT abled) community within the public school system, anticipating that the 21st Century learning model will greatly assist the bridging of these needs. Perreault says she is excited at the success of the overall existing board and administration in developing a cohesiveness that has brought about some great achievements. She sees herself as an individual who can aid in “bridging the gap” with schools and families. “This will be an important season of transition for our district, as it will set the foundation for how we continue to transition from the industrial age educational model into the 21st Century learning style. Communication will be pivotal in supporting students, families and educators with this transition.” Her website can be found at www.suzanneperreault.me or find her via Facebook.

Aldergrove family really delivers MOM AND KIDS MAKE NEWSPAPER DELIVERY A GROUP EFFORT D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

For the Coates family of Aldergrove, delivering newspapers is a true group effort. Currently, mom Karen Coates, 17-yearold daughter Bethany, 14-year-old son Levi and 10-year-old daughter Maresha all work together to deliver papers to their community, including the Langley Times and its sister paper The Aldergrove Star. Older siblings Jerusha, 20, and Josiah, 18, have also worked as carriers but have relinquished their paper routes to their younger siblings. Even dad Randy has filled in. “We’ve passed it around,” says Karen Coates, who says her children have obtained other jobs because their carrier experience shows prospective employers that they have a good work ethic. “It’s a good way to exercise and earn money at the same time,” says Bethany, who handed

over her paper routes to brother Levi after about 10 years because she became busy with other work, but still pitches in when required. When the weather allows, Levi, who delivers to 125 houses, sometimes speeds up the process by delivering papers on rollerblades. Maresha has now graduated to her own 19-house route, which she serves with a wagon. Karen Coates, who has a 50-house route, says her youngest daughter has been doing paper routes since she was born, because she would take Maresha with her in a stroller when she did her rounds. This is International Carrier Appreciation Week (Oct. 5-11) which recognizes the importance and hard work of newspaper carriers around the world. And once again Black Press is saying thank you to the people of all ages who get our papers to readers’ doorsteps, says CEO Rick O’Connor.

Langley School District lost at least 100 students to private schools this year and that is a concern, said secretary-treasurer David Green at the board of education meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 30. Whether the shift to private education was because of the lengthy teachers’ strike wasn’t discussed. The district also lost some students who moved to other districts, he said. Green was providing pre-enrolment numbers for the 2014/15 school year but warned the numbers are changing every day and a complete picture won’t be known for some time. What he could say is that the already over capacity R.E. Mountain Secondary saw 300 more students so far this year — and has seen a population increase year after year. Middle and elementary schools in the district are “holding their own.” Choice programs in the district are down in numbers.

Hydro crews worked to restore power Saturday night, while police investigated a crash that saw an SUV mow down a power pole and five trees.

A neighbourhood in Langley was without power on Saturday night after an SUV took out five pine trees and sheared a power pole in half at 200 Street and 48 Avenue. According to Langley RCMP, the single vehicle crash took place around 8:30 p.m. when the Mercedes SUV, that had dealer plates, took out the power pole. BC Hydro quickly arrived and replaced the pole. Power came on early the next morning. The driver of the vehicle was taken to hospital but released a short time after with no injuries. The cause of the crash is still under investigation but a violation ticket is being considered. The vehicle was not reported stolen. The night before a Toyota Tacoma drove into a house at 200 Street and 38 Avenue. A family of five, including three young children were inside, but weren’t injured. The home has significant damage. That driver may have suffered a medical issue but is fine now.

Congratulations to the Nominees who have demonstrated outstanding customer service, leadership, innovation and growth.

Open house at City firehall Oct. 9 Two years ago, they urged residents to know two ways out, in case of fire. Last year, putting a lid on kitchen fires was their focus. This year, Langley City firefighters want citizens to make them Happy, by checking household smoke alarms every month. And if they have to sing and dance to get you to do it, well . . . OK. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fire Prevention Week and in the City of Langley, that means fire crews have prepared another music video intended to both illuminate and entertain. Sung to the tune of Pharrell Williamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit song, Happy, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s video encourages viewers to make sure they have a working smoke alarm by

testing it once each month with a simple push of a button. Other recommendations included in the 2014 campaign are to change smoke detector batteries twice a year, at the same time clocks are set forward and back, and to replace the entire unit every 10 years. Among the activities happening in the City during fire prevention week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oct. 5 to 11 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is an open house at the fire hall, 5785 203 St. On Thursday, Oct. 9, between 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., residents are invited to stop by and meet the firefighters, tour the hall, learn important fire safety tips and watch live fire demonstrations. To view the video, go to Youtube.com and search for LCFRS fire prevention week.

Working smoke alarms save lives Fire Prevention Week runs Oct. 5 - 11 and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign, Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month, focuses on the importance of having working smoke alarms and checking them regularly. It is something the Township of Langley Fire Department hopes residents take very seriously. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smoke alarms can mean the difference between life and death,â&#x20AC;? said Township Public Fire and Life Safety Educator Krista Barton, who notes that about two thirds of home fire deaths happen in homes where there is no smoke alarm or the alarm doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire by half. Smoke alarms detect and

alert people to fire in its early stages, giving them the time needed to escape safety.â&#x20AC;? Smoke alarms have the power to save lives, but people have to be diligent and test them regularly: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do their job if we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done ours,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that smoke alarms need to be replaced every 10 years and carbon monoxide alarms must be replaced every seven years.Â Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odorless gas that can be harmful or deadly if even a small amount of it is inhaled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smell or taste CO, so maintain and use fuel-burning appliances correctly, watch for warning signs of it in your

home, and know what to do if you suspect CO is present,â&#x20AC;? Barton said. Warning signs of CO poisoning include unexplained headaches, nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, stumbling, and fainting. Children, elderly people, and those with chronic disease may be more susceptible to CO poisoning. If you suspect CO in your home, open all the doors and windows, turn off any suspect appliances, leave the house, and get everyone into fresh air immediately. Call 911 and your gas utility to check carbon monoxide levels, seek medical attention, and have a licensed gas contractor inspect your appliances.

Brace yourselves - the cold & flu season is coming! Zinc is an important player in immune function - even a slight deficiency can weaken the immune system. People at risk of zinc inadequacy include vegetarians, pregnant women, and those with gastrointestinal diseases, including chronic diarrhea. The body does not store excess zinc, so daily supplementation is a good idea for everyone. Other conditions which have been treated with zinc supplementation include wound healing, acne, and sense of taste and smell. Start ramping up your immune defense now and avoid spending your weekend at the walk-in clinic!

Stunning views at Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands By Kerry Vital

Beautiful homes, amazing views and a fantastic location combine at Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands, the Fraser Valley’s premier new address. Located in Agassiz atop Mount Woodside, Harrison Highlands is the largest master-planned river view community in the Fraser Valley. Two distinct communities are situated within the development: Woodside and Briarwood. Both

feature two- to four-bedroom homes with stunning views and beautiful interior features. “This is a place where people can live where they play,” says Heath Stone, managing partner at Odessa Group. “It’s also a great place to raise a family.” The Craftsman architecture offers excellent curb appeal, while the expansive interiors feature nine-foot vaulted ceilings and large windows to allow the natural light to flood the home. European-made high-quality laminate flooring is featured

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

throughout the main level, while gourmet-quality kitchens include maple cabinetry and elegant countertops (quartz in the Briarwood homes and laminate in the Woodside homes). The ensuite bathrooms in the master suite include dual sinks for added convenience, a relaxing soaker tub and a separate shower with tile surround and a frameless glass door. Homes at Woodside include heated floors in the ensuite, while the Briarwood homes have in-floor heat in the master bedroom as well. The community includes homes with parking for recreational vehicles, landscaped parks, and natural trails, with amazing river and mountain views. Future development plans intend to include a neighborhood commercial area for potential grocery stores, restaurants or retail spaces. The District of Kent also has an on-site water treatment facility and plans for a future fire hall. Homes at Harrison Highlands start at $379,000, including GST. For more information, visit www.harrisonhighlands.ca or call toll-free 1-888-OUR-VIEW (687-8439). The presentation centre is open Friday to Sunday between noon and 5 p.m. at 1524 Woodside Boulevard in Kent.

Boffo’s Adagio is hitting a high note in South Surrey, with elegant kitchens, luxurious bathrooms and plenty of space for living, relaxing and entertaining. Homeowners will also have access to a stunning community courtyard, among other amenities.

Italian traditions at Boffo’s Adagio By Kerry Vital

Boffo has been one of the top developers in the Lower Mainland for decades, and they are known for beautiful homes. They’ve brought their expertise to South Surrey with Adagio, a condominium project that has already been extremely popular with local purchasers. “Everyone who has moved in already has been absolutely thrilled by the amenities, the homes and the entire aesthetic,” says sales manager Sandra Miller. “Boffo has a long history of Italian traditions and attention to detail, and these homes are reflective of that.”

A beautifully landscaped community courtyard with trees, paths and garden plots is just one of the amazing things available for residents at Adagio. “Every aspect has been taken care of here,” says Miller. “The Boffo stamp is on this project. We’re very proud of it.” Inside, the one-bedroom and den, twoand three-bedroom homes feature nine-foot ceilings (12 feet on the top floor) and large windows that let the natural light pour in. Large terraces and patios add to your living space. The kitchen is an absolute highlight. Natural granite or quartz slab countertops are matched with a complementary backsplash, and the under-cabinet and recessed lighting beautifully illuminates your tasks. Stainlesssteel appliances, including a five-burner gas cooktop and a 36-inch counter-depth fridge, and 40-inch upper cabinets are perfectly situated, and large kitchen islands feature

a wine chiller and tons of space for food preparation or casual dining. Premium laminate flooring is featured throughout the main living areas, while the bedrooms include carpet made for sinking your toes into. The bathrooms are luxurious and soothing, with either an oversize shower with frameless glass enclosure or an oversize soaker tub/ shower combination. Bathrooms include a built-in wall niche, and ensuites have a radiant heated floor. The custom suspended under-lit vanity and natural granite or quartz countertops are complemented by a matching backsplash.

Most ensuites include a his-and-hers vanity for extra convenience. The community is one of the big draws for purchasers at Adagio. “The location is fantastic,” Miller says. “You can’t beat it.” Located in the Semiahmoo neighbourhood, residents at Adagio will find everything they can possibly imagine on their front doorstep. From dining at one of the delicious local restaurants to shopping at nearby Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Morgan Crossing or Grandview Corners, nothing is out of reach. Leisure and recreation is also close by, with several parks, pools, arenas and clubs in the neighbourhood, as well as White Rock beach. If it’s a bit of culture you’re looking for, you’ll find an art gallery, theatre and museum just minutes away. On-site, homeowners at Adagio will find a lounge with chef ’s demonstration kitchen, double-sided fireplace, televisions, pool table and a large garden and patio area. There is also a fully equipped fitness centre with a steam room. “There is always something going on here,” says Miller. “People appreciate that. It’s a wonderful social atmosphere.” Homes range from one-bedroom and den homes, offering 784 square feet of living space, up to 1,279 square feet for a three-bedroom, three-bath home. For more information, visit AdagioByBoffo.ca, contact sales managers Sandra Miller and Ian Watts of Bay Realty Ltd. at 604-531-6659 or stop by the presentation centre at 101-15360 20th Avenue at 154th, South Surrey, open daily between noon and 5 p.m., except Fridays.

THE VOICE OF BUSINESS PRESIDENTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S REPORT

Welcome to Our Fall Programs!

ince participating in the Board Planning Retreat in July, the Board of Directors and Committee Chairs have been meeting to plan and coordinate our activity for this term with a focus on member engagement, improving member services and advocating for change to government regulations and taxation affecting business. The Advocacy Committee is seeking input from the membership for additional issues that we can research, make recommendations for change and advance to any level of government â&#x20AC;&#x201C; municipal, regional, provincial or federal. Please contact Executive Director Lynn Whitehouse at the Chamber Office with your issue. We do ask that you include your name and contact information in case the committee requires more information or clarification input from you on the topic. Your information will be kept confidential and the recommendations will be advanced as a Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce issue. Vice-President Scott Johnston and I will travel to Charlottetown, PEI to attend the Canadian Chamber of Commerce AGM & Conference where we will participate in the policy sessions to form the national advocacy agenda for Canadian businesses and communities. Of particular interest will be the introduction of the resolution calling for improved navigation and flood control on the Fraser River that was submitted by 14 lower mainland chambers, including Langley. A copy of this resolution will be posted on our website on our return following the meetings. For the next couple of months we will be focusing on the 2014 municipal elections and our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Your Voice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Your Voteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign aimed to increase voter engagement and turnout at the polls. While businesses themselves do not have a vote, we want to encourage you to actively participate in the process by engaging in dialogue with your employees regarding the importance of the election process, the role it plays for our local economy and impact on the business climate.

communities are facing currently and in the next few years as we experience a significant amount of development and population growth demands. I encourage you to help them visualize the business aspect of the issues in addition to the personal aspects. A strong business climate helps ensure success of the whole community. The Board has scheduled a number of Candidates Meetings to provide an opportunity to meet directly with the candidates for Mayor and Councillor in both the City and the Township of Langley. The format is still being determined as we need to modify according to the number of candidates running and our time constraints. I would like to specifically draw your attention to the date of the October meeting, being one week earlier October 14, 2014, just following Thanksgiving. This resolves the conflict with the Celebration of Excellence. This meeting will feature the candidates running for Mayor in both the City and the Township. Please also note, that due to the date change, the location has also been changed to the Langley Golf & Banquet Centre at 216th St. and 44th Ave. Please be sure to schedule the new date and location in your calendars! We strongly request that all members submit your suggestions for topics or questions to be presented to the candidates at the meetings. These meetings are organized for the benefit of members to hear from the candidates and understand their opinions on specific topics. Next month is also Small Business Month in British Columbia and we have a number of unique programs scheduled. On Thursday October 9 in partnership with the Fraser Valley Chambers and Public Works and Government Services Canada we will host the first Small Business Expo at the Langley Event Centre. This is a free tradeshow that brings various government departments and organizations that support small businesses through funding, training and various other resources. There are many programs available that can often help you get the extra help you need, and possibly help someone else find employment or training. I encourage you to take the time to attend this unique opportunity to meet with numerous service providers. On Wednesday October 22 we will recognize outstanding businesses and business people in our community at the annual Celebration of Excellence. This is a very special evening where nominees will be presented plaques in recognition of their nomination, and the Business Excellence Awards will be presented to the finalist in each category. The agenda includes a cocktail reception, gourmet dining, entertainment and incredible dĂŠcor to make it a memorable event for all who attend. We could not host such a gala without the generous support of our many sponsors to whom we are extremely grateful. We encourage our members to join us for this very special evening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; please contact the Chamber Office for tickets or more information! Kristine Simpson, President

Corrados living the dream with The Joy of Coffee GARY AH U J A Ti me s Re po r t e r

The bad news is that after 19 years, the doors are shutting at Esquires Coffee House in Murrayville. But the good news is that the closure is only temporary — five days in fact — and when the doors re-open next week on Oct. 17, it will be under the banner of The Joy of Coffee. “We have wanted to go on our own for years,” said Joy Corrado, who has owned and operated the popular coffee house with her husband Ron since it first opened. The coffee shop was in a different location for the first five years before moving to its current locale when the Murrayville Square opened. “Our sales tripled (after we moved there). The best thing we ever did was move to this location,” Corrado said. “It has been fantastic.” But with their lease up in May, the Corrados approached Esquires head office — which holds the lease — and told

them of their desire to go independent. “We have wanted to go on our own for years,” Corrado said. “It has been our dream.” “We know everybody here, it is a great community. We love the people, we love the business and we have a huge passion for it.” This is the first business they have run. They will close their doors on Sunday (Oct. 12) to let the contractors get to work on the inside. “Nothing is changed on our menu, we are just changing our look, renovating our store,” she said, adding that there will be a darker decor and “more warmth.” One new addition will be a community table, which seats eight, and is available for reservation. “We have so many people come in and sit in groups, so we decided to bring in a community table, which is a popular thing now that goes on in coffee houses,” Corrado said.

The fireplace and couch will remain in the corner of the coffee shop. The new name for their store, The Joy of Coffee, was actually a suggestion from a regular customer. “We both really liked that, it will be come in and experience the joy of coffee,” she said. Business had slowed in recent years, but Corrado said it seems to be picking up once again. “People get to know people in here. That is another fun thing about it, it is a very social thing. People very often get to know other customers,” she said. “It is amazing to watch, and really a wonderful business.” The store will re-open on Oct. 17 and they will hold a grand re-opening at a later date, once all of the work is completed. They will continue to honour people’s Esquires gift cards. “It is going to be bigger and better and beautiful,” Corrado said.

Sacrifices worth it as way to get ahead GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Family or football? That was the decision staring Shaiheem Charles-Brown in the face. His mother and stepfather, as well as his younger brother and sister were leaving Montreal to go to Grenada, his mom’s home country. Growing up, the family had moved frequently and CharlesBrown was tired of this and wanted to stay in the same school and continue playing football. “I didn’t want to go away to another country where I didn’t have the same opportunities with sports and life,” he explained. So while his family moved thousands of kilometres away to a tiny island in the Caribbean, Charles-Brown — just 14 years old — was on a different sort of island: living alone. For two years, he stayed in Montreal with the family of one of his friend’s. After that, his family decided to come back to Canada, but to the west coast. Charles-Brown hopped on a Greyhound bus and made the four-day trek to B.C. The family lived in Squamish for a few months, and then Langley and Abbotsford. He played high school football, first with the Langley Saints and then with the Hansen Hurricanes, as well as community football with the Langley Minor Football midget Stampeders. But prior to his Grade 12 year of high school at Rick Hansen Secondary, the family decided to make another go of it in Grenada. Again Charles-Brown made the difficult decision to stay behind on his own. “Doors were starting to open for me, universities were starting to talk to me,” he said. “I really thought I could go somewhere (and) I wanted to make football my career, my life.” His girlfriend’s parents took him in for the summer and prior to the start of the school year, Charles-Brown signed a youth agreement, which is a legal agreement between someone who is between the ages of 16 and 18 and the ministry of children and family development. The agreement lets the individual live independently and gain life skills and experience, while

providing them access and support along the way. With this help, he was able to get his own place to live and a part-time job at Footlocker, all the while playing football and finishing his final year of high school. Living on his own, while tough, has been a great learning experience. “This has made me the man I today,” he said. “It taught me how to take care of myself, provide for myself, taught me lessons like the value of a dollar. “It teaches you how to appreciate life and everything you have so much more.” Charles-Brown graduated last year and during the high school football season, earned both conference and provincial accolades. Langley Rams head coach Jeff Alamolhoda says that CharlesBrown’s resilience and tenacity stuck out from the moment he arrived at Rams camp. At six-foot-four and 200 pounds, the 18-year-old has fit in nicely as a rookie with the Rams along the junior football (ages 18 to 22) team’s defensive line. Charles-Brown came about a week and a half after camp started, meaning he was working from behind in trying to earn a spot. “He was behind the eight-ball already and for him to be able to get to the position he is now, where he is on the traveling roster, he is playing on all special teams pretty much and he is getting his reps in on defence as well, for such a young guy, it is just a credit for how hard he works for everything he wants,” Alamolhoda said. It was clear Charles-Brown was driven and motivated. “He has gone through a lot of adversity (and) he was lucky to have the wits about him to engage in football because he had the support from his coaches and teammates along the way,” Alamolhoda said. “For him to be so resilient and his ability to fight through adversity just shows his true character. “He was flying around every play, he was super coachable (and) he was a young man who wanted to make this team no matter what and it showed with his play.” What also stands out about Charles-Brown is his positive attitude and ever-present smile, the

While Charles-Brown is succeeding on the field and in life — he is currently upgrading some of his courses at the Langley Education Centre and hopes to play university football and then perhaps professionally — it does not mean there have not been struggles. “I chose football to get ahead in life, but it has been tough,” he said. “In hard moments, I have second thoughts about why I am doing this, why I am going through all this, all this stress when I could be with my family, relaxing.” Continued Page 51

The bantam Bears emerged with a 35-13 win over the visiting Richmond Raiders on Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park. Quarterback Jacob Stebbings threw three touchdown passes — a 23-yarder to Treven Baarts, a 19-yard pass to Alex Henderson and a 72-yard catch-and-run to Andy Hanlen. Zander Bailey faced a stout run defence, but still managed 121 yards on 15 carries. The Bears final score was from Pablo Wigwigan, who scored on a 57-yard reverse.

Senior-laden Spartans aim for national title GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

A senior-heavy team is hoping to make their last kick at the can count. The Trinity Western Spartans have six fifth-year players on the roster, four of whom are likely to start, as the Canada West women’s volleyball season gets underway this weekend. Over the past four seasons, the Spartans have qualified for the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships and have alternated between third place (2011 and 2013) and fifth place (2012 and 2014). The squad is hoping 2015 brings them both a place in the national championship game and a gold medal. This year’s team is believed to the most physical and deepest team ever assembled by Spartans coach Ryan Hofer. “This group has been working for it for five years and they really want to have a successful season, they want to do well on and off the court,” he said. “I am excited about this group, it is a deep group.” With such a strong nucleus returning, TWU has a team which should make a run at both the conference and national title. “We just have to not look at where we are now, but look at the finished process with where we

are going to be at the end,” Hofer said. “Take it one weekend at a time, one practice at a time.” The Spartans middles will be led by one of the top players in the country in Alicia Perrin, who led Canada West with 1.61 blocks per set. She is joined in the middle by Katie Devaney, and together, the duo finished one-two in blocks per set in the conference. The offence will be lead by setter Nikki Cornwall, who hopes to build off her first season, where she was named to the conference all-rookie team. On the outside, the Spartans have added a powerful arm in Elly Wendel, who also boasts an impressive vertical leap. She was second in the ACAC with 3.4 kills per set last year at Briercrest College. Wendel joins an impressive cast of players on the outside which includes CIS first team all-Canadian Sophie Carpentier. Defensively, libero Kristen Moncks will hold down the fort and keep the opposition’s attack at bay. She averaged 3.37 digs per set. ••• The past two years have been unfamiliar for the Trinity Western Spartans men’s volleyball team. Prior to the 2012/13 season, the Spartans medaled at every CIS national championship they at-

tended. And while they qualified for the past two championships as well, they have been unable to find the podium. With an eye on returning to the national championships for a fifth straight year, the Spartans do have some big holes to fill. And they plan to do so with a healthy mix of veterans and young talent. Quarterbacking the team will be setter Adam Schriemer, the Canada West and CIS rookie of the year. With Schriemer directing the offence, the Spartans led Canada West in hitting percentage at .313. On the outside, the team is expecting bigger roles from Ryan Sclater and Blake Scheerhoom. They will join mainstay Nick Del Bianco, a fifth-year player expected to lead the team and be their go-to guy in pressure situations. The team does lose arguably the best middle in TWU history, but the trio of Branden Schmidt, Danny Grant and Levi Wolthius should step up and provide strength in the middle of the court. The defence is led by Tyler Koslowsky, who was third in the conference in digs at 2.56 per set. ••• Both Spartan volleyball teams kick off the season by hosting Thompson Rivers WolfPack on Friday and Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.

Coombe, opened up running room for the backs. The defence was led by Brodie Thomas’ seven tackles, while Roloff had five. Braxton Bedard, Haiden Horan,and Tyson Tombe got in on the action with hits on defence as well.

It has meant being away from his family during holidays and spending birthdays and other milestones — like high school graduation — without them. “It’s not like I can just hop on a bus and go see them,” he said. He now has three younger siblings in Grenada — an eight-year-old brother, and two sisters, one of whom is four and the other is almost two — with a fourth on the way. “It is really tough not being around them,” he admitted. “Being the big brother, you have that protective instinct (and) I can’t protect them.” He does chat with his family via Skype and he said his siblings are always asking why he can’t be with them. Charles-Brown also has a 14-year-old sister back in Montreal, from his biological dad’s side. He has only recently re-established contact with his father. Charles-Brown also conceded it has been especially tough on his mother not to have her first born close by. “She blames herself for stuff she shouldn’t,” he said. “She really feels bad that she left me here on my own, that she can’t protect me. “I try to comfort her as much as I can, tell her this was my choice, (that) I am happy they let me experience this on my own.” His story keeps him hungry. “It certainly gives me the drive to continue in hard times,” he said. “Everyone you look at who has been successful in life, if you look at their history and how they got there, it’s never a pretty story, it is never easy. “If you really want something in life, you have to make sacrifices to get there.”

DRIVING MADE EASIER

Drive What you can’t see is the 317 kgs that the ‘15 F-series has lost, thanks to that aluminum body and the increased use of high-strength steel in the frame – but, you can certainly feel it while driving. The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-toside, front and rear. The hood and side windows have dropped in profile for better visibility, while the size, colours and quality of the computer generated gauges and controls simplifies operation while driving. I towed with the new truck and its manners are good if not improved. In part, this is assisted by the long list of towing features like trailer sway control; tow/haul mode; Dynamic Hitch Assist, SelectShift transmission and better tow mirrors. Off-road an electronic manual rear

differential locker has been added. This truck churns mud better than ever. Verdict Payload is up (to 900 kgs) and so is towing (approx. 5.5 tonnes) yet overall body weight is down by 317 kgs. Ford offers four engines and even the smallest 2.7L EcoBoost will still tow up to 3.8 tonnes. The cab is quieter, yet larger. The floor is flat yet has more storage compartments. The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information. Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of improvements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years. But from what I’ve seen in Texas, I’d say Giddy Up!

Question of the Week The all-new Ford F-150 graces the front of Driveway this week as it looks to maintain its constant premier position as the truck of choice. What do its rivals have to do to make a bigger mark in sales? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

Safety Tip: This weekend is one of the most dangerous on B.C. roads. The temperature can drop and road conditions can change quickly in the fall and winter months. If you’re driving out of town, check drivebc.ca for up-to-date road and weather conditions before you head out.

The big update is all about electronics. A new instrument cluster is larger and all the gauges are video projected.

He mentions: “Before we had kids, I bought Christine (his wife) a bike; a Honda XR 86,” since she showed interest in the sport. For all the time that Christine cheered on her husband, it was time for her to get in her own saddle. He fixed it up and it ran like new. She loved it. She explains: “It was fun watching him, but I’d rather be out there too!” Not too long after that, Christine became pregnant with their first child. “Before she (Taylor) was even born, we started talking about what bike we should get her and getting gear ready for her for when she was old enough,” Christine says. By the time Taylor was two years old she was on two wheels. With training wheels, of course.

“She always wanted to get on the bike,” Christine recounts. “Taylor always wanted daddy to take her around.” Now that Taylor is six and her little brother, Chase, is three, they both can ride their own bikes and have a blast doing it. At home, the kids are on Oset electric trials bikes. They don’t make any noise so they can play in the back yard until the batteries run out! There’s also a “throttle” modulator that makes sure the kids can’t get themselves into too much trouble. Scott and Christine consider themselves very lucky because everyone in the family loves to get out onto the trails, even if they aren’t moving very quickly! “It’s so cool to see Taylor and Chase progress,” says Scott. Even though Scott’s employment brings him to Popkum Motor Park weekly, he said that he’d still take the kids on dirt bikes regardless. “It’s such a great way to build motor skills, coordination, a love of the outdoors and you just create so many memories together.” He talks about the families who come out to the Park. Moms, dads, and kids alike take to the track. “There’s one family that comes to mind… I’ve watched the kids grow up over the last 12 years. For example, the dad and daughter will show up, and then they’ll turn laps together. And then they pull over and chat about their laps and the things they can work on.” Christine comments: “You value time together more when you’re all doing something that you all love. As a full-time working mom, I’m so grateful we have riding as a common bond.” Some might be concerned about safety when it comes to speed and kids. But like any other sport, with the proper equipment, training and supervision, dirt biking is quite safe. And did I mention fun? “I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the day,” Christine remarks.

Drives-U-Crazy

The cyclists are fighting back! – Every time I hear or read criticism of the habitual running of stop signs and a variety of other road sins committed by many cyclists, a two-wheeler complains that motorists commit more offences. Ok, well I guess that’s fine then. What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
