Bomb threat hoax in City MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Monique TAMMINGA/Langley Times
The area around the Langley City 7-Eleven was blocked off by police after a bomb threat was called into an office building beside the convenience store on Tuesday morning.
A bomb threat called into the office building beside the Langley City 7-Eleven brought in police, who taped off the area to investigate early Tuesday morning. By 10 a.m., Langley RCMP determined the threat was a hoax. “But we have to take all bomb threats seriously and for the protection of the public we had to take all the precautions and clear the building,” said Langley RCMP Sgt. Ravinder Pawar. “We encourage the public to be vigilant and always call police if they see a suspicious package or if a bomb threat is called in.”
City crime rate nearly twice B.C. average Violent crime, property crime up in police-reported crime rate stats released by Statistics Canada DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The City of Langley crime rate was nearly double the B.C. average and almost three times the Canadian average in 2012, according to new policereported figures released by Statistics Canada. A Times comparison of the

stats for the City with the Township of Langley and three other major B.C. communities (Surrey, Abbotsford and Vancouver) shows the City had the highest rates of violent crime and property crime last year, as well as the worst crime severity index and highest overall crime rate of the five. Statistics Canada reported the

LANGLEY CITY (24hr. drive-thru) 6241-200th Street 604-534-1497
City of Langley had a per capita crime rate of 14,546 incidents per 100,000 people, an adjusted number that is higher than the actual total of 4,104, but allows a proper comparison with the crime rates in other communities. Those numbers mean a resident of Langley City was roughly twice as likely to experience crime than the B.C. average of 7,727 incidents per 100,000, and close to three times as likely than the Canadian average of 5,588 incidents per 100,000. Residents of the City were

also more likely to experience crime than residents of the neighbouring Township of Langley (7,514 per 100,000), Abbotsford (5,194), Surrey (9,439) and Vancouver (6,868). The Langley City numbers are also substantially higher than the figures for Kelowna, which has been identified in some news reports as the community with the highest crime rate in Canada at 8,875 incidents per 100,000. However, the Kelowna results were based on a preliminary release of the crime rates for census metropolitan areas that
did not break down results for each individual city across Canada. The rate of crime in Langley City was also rising while it was falling in most other communities, going up eight per cent in the City while the national rate fell three per cent and the provincial rate dropped two per cent. Langley also had the worst Crime Severity Index (CSI) rating of the five cities in The Times survey sample, roughly double the provincial figure. continued, PAGE 5

Metro board nixes idea of speedway DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
Metro Vancouver directors have slammed the brakes on a proposal to reopen the historic Langley Speedway racetrack in Campbell Valley Regional Park. The board of the regional authority voted the idea down at its Friday ( July 26) meeting, based on a report by Parks East division manager Wendy DaDalt. DaDalt said proceeding with the proposal by the Langley Speedway Historical Society would require a “significant public consultation process” costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. The idea had been turned down on July 11 by the Metro environment and parks committee, but the final decision was up to the whole Metro board. While the society would be expected to come up with the money, DaDalt warned the project would still “displace” work by staff on other Metro park management and development programs. The directors voted to order staff to “not proceed further” and to inform the society that racing will not be allowed at the site. The report also warned car racing could disrupt at-risk species like the red-legged frog, western toad, Pacific water shrew, great blue heron and American bittern. Opening a speedway in the park would trigger external reviews by the Township of Langley and Agricultural Land Commission, and possibly provincial and federal environmental reviews, the report said. Local horse owners strongly opposed the idea. The society had proposed racing at a restored speedway on a maximum of 14 days a year, with the facility acting as a multi-purpose venue for other events. Metro staff opposed the concept from the beginning but the politicians voted in May to at least study it further. The former stock car racing oval closed in 1984. It had opened before creation of the park.

Representatives of Langley Township’s partner city of Ha Tinh City, Vietnam, attended the evening meeting of council Monday (July 22). They were here on a 10-day visit to study Langley tourism and local businesses. Left to right: Pham Hung Cuong, Le Ngoc Chau, Pham Thi Kim Anh and Tran The Dung.

A four-person delegation from the Vietnamese city of Ha Tinh City was seated in the audience of Langley Township council for the opening of the evening meeting on Monday, July 22. Mayor Jack Froese read an official greeting, pausing every two or three sentences to allow the translator to relay his remarks. “There is so much to see and experience in the Township of Langley and we are pleased to share our knowledge and our successes,” the mayor said. Froese said the Vietnamese officials would be visiting local farms, meeting with local education and business leaders and exploring the manufacturing and film industries during their stay, looking for ideas that can be applied back home. The delegation included three men and one woman; Tran The Dung, chairman of the Ha Tinh City People’s Com-

‘It’s a safe city’– RCMP from PAGE 1
The CSI is a measurement used by Statistics Canada to calculate the degree of serious crime in a community. The City rate was 184, compared to 102 in the Township, 124 in Surrey, 100 in Vancouver, 71 in Abbotsford and the BC average of 93. The City had a higher violent crime rate than the Township, but the Township posted the biggest year-to-year increase in violent crime at 12.46 per cent. Langley City’s violent crime rate rose 5.17 per cent. The other three communities in The Times survey sample all experienced decreases. The City had the worst property crime rate of the five (9,233), more than double the provincial average (4,711), and the problem was getting worse. Property crime in the City rose 11.19 per cent in 2012, the biggest hike of the five. The next highest increase in property crime was reported by Surrey at 2.49 per cent, which had the next highest property crime
rate (6,149). Abbotsford posted a decrease of 13 per cent. Deputy Langley City mayor Gayle Martin said the situation is not as bad as it appears. “We have our core enforcement team targeting the downtown core,” Martin told The Times. “They are catching more people and arresting more people so it puts our crime stats up.” Langley RCMP Insp. Murray Power called the statistics for the City “disappointing” but not surprising. Insp. Power said the high crime rate is because of the high number of break-ins, some of which are recorded as violent crime even though no injury occurs. City residents do not have to fear for their personal safety, Power said. “It’s a safe city.” He said the force has been targeting criminal property theft in the City for a number of years. “We’re maximizing all our investigative options to the fullest.” — with files from Monique Tamminga

Relief container Guinea bound After months of delays, teacher’s shipment is headed to Africa MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
H.D. Stafford Middle School teacher Djiba Camara is beaming from ear to ear this week. The container he needed to ship to his home country of Guinea leaves this weekend. “I am very happy,” said Camara on Monday. Camara has dedicated the year trying to raise money to ship a container full of sports equipment, learning tools, bikes, computers, clothing and more to impoverished children in his native Guinea, one of the most corrupt, poverty-stricken countries in the world. He’s seen amazing donations but has lacked financial help until recently. He estimates the cost to get a container shipped is around $15,000. He got the container on July 22 and worked for two days straight to fill it to get it ready to go. “My school gave me $1,500, my church gave me $1,500, as did Mrs. Blaauw (fellow teacher John Blaauw’s mom) and I borrowed $2,900 myself.
Langley Times file photo
Djiba Camara is finally able to send a shipping container of donations to Guinea. It will leave this weekend but will take around two months to get there,” he said. “I will meet the container there in October. But I hope I will make it back. I hope for my security.” By returning to the impoverished and corrupt nation, Camara risks being robbed or worse while he makes sure the container’s goods arrive to the African children in need.
He hopes to organize local media to meet him alongside local police to help ensure his safety there. Fellow teacher John Blaauw’s mom Ann arrived at the school in early July with quite a haul of goods she had collected to donate to Camara’s cause. “Mom brought eight or nine bikes of all sizes, mens shoes and clothes, her computer and she went to the dollar store and bought pencils, pens, skipping rope, tennis rackets,” said Blaauw. But then Blaauw met Camara and was so touched by what he is going to do, she wrote him a cheque for $1,500. “I was speechless,” said Camara. That is saying a lot for the outgoing P.E. and French teacher. Camara has set up a website where people can donate. Donors will receive a gift made by the people of Guinea.

‘Bad three-second mistake’ SARAH MASSAH Black Press
The dump-truck driver involved in the deadly collision that killed South Surrey’s Jim Neiss told a Langley RCMP officer that his decision to cross a double-yellow line was a “bad threesecond mistake.” “He said something to the effect of ‘this feels like a bad dream,’” Const. Robert Johnston said of Glen Edwards Theriault, during testimony last week in Surrey Provincial Court. Theriault is charged with dangerous driving causing death in connection with the Jan. 18, 2011 head-on collision that killed 59-year-old Neiss. Johnston told the court that following Theriault’s arrest at the scene — in the 19800-block of 16 Avenue — Theriault told him he thought it had been clear to pass, and that he did not see Neiss’s pickup as it travelled in the eastbound lane on 16 Avenue.
The collision compressed the front section of Neiss’s Ford Explorer into less than half its width. Johnston further testified that Theriault appeared to be in shock, and had expressed concern that he would be fired. “He wanted to collect his personal items (from the dump truck),” Johnston said. “He was concerned he would not be able to retrieve them if he was fired.” While Theriault had declined to make an official statement at the police station, he made a number of comments while he was in custody, Johnston said. The comments, along with others made in the hours following his arrest, were the subject of a voir dire that focused on whether or not Theriault’s charter rights had been violated. Crown counsel Winston Sayson said Monday that Judge Paul Dohm ruled the comments were voluntary. The trial is to continue on Sept. 17.

‘Super 8’ thief sentenced Wednesday MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
One of two career criminals involved in a police standoff at the Super 8 Motel on Glover Road in March 2012 was scheduled to learn his fate in Supreme Court in New Westminster on Wednesday.
Surrey resident Dave Yaroslawsky was expected to be sentenced after pleading guilty to more than half of the charges against him. He was facing around 60 charges for the high profile arrest but Crown agreed to stay many of the charges. His co-accused, Ivan Logan Johnson, 33, of New
Westminster, is facing more than 50 charges in relation to the Super 8 Motel arrest. He was arrested along with Yaroslawsky, 29, by the Emergency Response Team and police dogs who surrounded the motel room after the two men refused to come out. Witnesses had called

Legal pot boost to economy
L
angley City has a serious crime problem. Anecdotally, The Times has been hearing that from City residents and visitors for much of the past year, with reports of incidents which include the setting of an abandoned home on fire three times in three weeks; a violent attack on seniors in Douglas Park; a carjacking on 200 Street involving a violent criminal with a lengthy record and residents of two apartment complexes on 200 Street being threatened and terrorized by homeless people with keys to their buildings. All of these incidents took place within the past four months. In response, Langley RCMP have been targeting the city with a core enforcement team, and as City deputy mayor Gayle Martin rightly points out, it boosts the crime statistics when police actually arrest someone and charge them. However, proof of the growing crime problem in the City has now been released by Statistics Canada — and none of the events cited above or the recent arrests have anything to do with it. The crime statistics analyzed are for 2012, and the numbers are not in the City’s favour. The overall crime rate is up more than eight per cent; violent crime is up over five per cent; property crime (a persistent and common complaint in the City) is up more than 11 per cent and the Crime Severity Index (CSI) figure is up to 183.86, up by 7.95. This CSI figure is an interesting one. It is a measurement used by Statistics Canada to calculate the degree of serious crime in a community. The City rate was just under 184, compared to 102 in the Township, 124 in Surrey, 100 in Vancouver, 71 in Abbotsford and the B.C. average of 93. The actual number of crimes reported to police in Langley City in 2012 was 4,104. This is about 1,000 crimes each year in each of the City’s four square miles. What is most alarming is that both violent and property crimes are up significantly, as these both add to a sense of unease among residents and make the City less desirable to live in. Langley City has embarked in recent years on a wave of redevelopment projects, which have added density and more home ownership in the downtown core area. This may have even contributed to the crime spike, as more people on the street may lead to more crime being reported. The City must stay on top of this serious issue and proactively fight crime, street by street and building by building.

here’s a reverse echo going on around the country. Whenever Liberal leader Justin Trudeau says something, his comments are invariably followed by a response, usually snide, from the Prime Minister’s Office, in other words, Stephen Harper. Last week, Trudeau was in B.C. and he spoke for the decriminalization of marijuana. Not surprisingly, the PMO came out chastising Trudeau for his comments. Why not? Harper has nurtured a tough on crime reputation. To the Conservative government’s credit, crime across Canada appears to be on the decrease, according to Stats Canada data released last week. Interestingly enough, statistics for marijuana-related offences are on the rise and began rising at about the time Harper and the Conservatives won their first minority government. Coincidence? The point is, the Conservative government, previous governments and the U.S. federal and state governments have tried to put the lid on marijuana cultivation, distribution and use. The end result has been a very expensive failure. Estimates of the annual value of the marijuana economy vary, but let’s pick a conservative $10 billion. If marijuana were legalized, the federal government could keep $9 billion and pass $1 billion off to health care, education or social housing. What about endangered species, the Coast Guard or infrastructure upgrades? It’s time to rethink the approach to the war on drugs. Legalizing marijuana would be a profitable and useful first step. —Penticton Western News (Black Press)

Farm museum a rare treat
Interurban memories Editor: Frank Bucholtz’ interesting article (The Times, July 30) regarding the history of interurban operations in the past being reborn in Cloverdale awakened memories for me. We had just enlisted in the army and were ordered to mount trucks that would transport us to a troop train to take us to a camp for basic training. Guessing was rife as we hauled our heavy loads of equipment to the waiting vehicles. We were bound for Calgary, some said, while other numerous locations such as Vernon were mentioned. Imagine our surprise when we dismounted to find ourselves facing a B.C. Electric interurban and a few hours later dismounting in Chilliwack, where two camps were situated — one for engineers and the other for us in the infantry. I can still faintly remember going past a station that read ‘Langley Prairie.’ Mike Harvey, Langley
Frank BUCHOLTZ/Langley Times
Restored B.C. Electric Railway interurban car 1225 is running on weekends from the newly-built replica of the Cloverdale station to Sullivan, about a five-kilometre distance. The entire experience recalls when the interurban brought transportation and electricity to the Fraser Valley.
Editor: In Fort Langley among the other excellent historic venues sits the BC Agricultural and Farm Museum. It is an exceptional and intriguing visit, linking the past to the present. No one should miss the chance to see and appreciate the world-class exhibition of old artifacts which conjure up visions of grandfathers on the land and in the forests and grandmothers in the kitchen and pantry. Massive tractors, huge machines, small unique cultivators, butter rollers, old wringer washers and milk separators are all there. The awesome buildings are filled with what life used to be. It really represents work. The walls are covered with instruments demonstrating long days in the fields, woods and homes. It is hard to describe the intrigue and wonder as you walk through the great halls exhibits. Bays and Bob Blackhall, Langley
Senate has no place in 21st century Canada GREGORY THOMAS Canadian Taxpayers Federation
We’ve nearly been trampled in recent days by a veritable herd of Canadian academics, falling over one another to remind us that the Canadian Senate cannot be abolished. After all, they tell us, the Senate’s existence is guaranteed by the Constitution, only Parliament and the provincial legislatures can amend the Constitution and Parliament includes 102 senators who would never vote themselves out of a job. To make matters worse, five of the 10 provinces are so vastly over-represented in the Senate, they would never, in a million years, agree to get rid of it. This learned analysis, while technically correct, fails to adequately weigh one singular truth: Canada is a democracy. If Canadians vote in a national referendum to abolish the Senate, the academics will be proven wrong. We now live in the 21st century, as opposed to the U.S. Civil War era, when the Senate was created. It was the U.S. Civil War, to that point, that heavily influenced the Fathers of Confederation, most notably Sir. John A. Macdonald. “(Macdonald) shared a widely held belief that the Civil War was, in some The
sense, the inevitable bloody outcome of mob rule and presidential despotism,” wrote his biographer Donald Creighton. “Macdonald’s resistance to democracy was comprehensive,” echoes Richard Gwyn in his more recent study of Canada’s constitutional architect. “He advocated ‘some division of the classes,’ justifying limiting the vote to property owners by the argument that political decisions should be influenced by the views of those with some education and some stake in the system itself rather than by ‘the unreasoning masses.’” Macdonald made it clear on more than one occasion that his distaste for American-style democracy knew no bounds. He insisted that a prospective senator must own real estate to qualify for membership — a qualification that exists, inexplicably, to this day. And Macdonald insisted on substantial real estate holdings — $4,000 — the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of today’s dollars: “a large qualification should be necessary for membership in the Upper House, in order to represent the principle of property,” he said in 1865. “The rights of the minority must be protected, and the rich are always fewer in number than the poor.” Historian John Boyko’s new book, Blood and Daring, gives a flavour of
Canada in the 1860s, when the Senate was created. Boyko reminds us that while 33 Canadian newspapers supported Lincoln and the Union in the conflict, 84 sided with the slave-owning Confederacy. After one Confederate victory in 1862, townsfolk in New Brunswick celebrated by holding parades. Time has marched on. Slavery is dead, its death purchased with the lives of half a million Americans. Canadian attitudes toward slavery have changed as well. Yet, we still sit passively and watch, while a law passed by a majority in the House of Commons is denied passage by the Canadian Senate, an unelected assembly of landowners. The Senate vote, constitutionally permissible in the eyes of the Senate’s Civil War-era creators, has been correctly characterized as “an abomination.” It’s instructive that the architect of the recent abomination, Conservative Senator Hugh Segal, supports a national referendum on abolishing the Senate. So did Jack Layton, who called the Senate “outdated and obsolete, a 19th-century institution that has no place in a modern democracy in the 21st century.” Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, no old drinking buddy of Jack Layton, would just as soon skip the referendum and proceed directly to Senate abolition,
reflecting the views of 86 per cent of his party members. Tom Mulcair, inheritor of the Layton legacy, is actively campaigning for Senate abolition. Even Ted Morton, once an Alberta elected Senator-in-waiting, is getting ready to throw in the towel on the Senate (as a possible first step towards reform) — after nearly 30 years dedicated to the cause of reforming the wretched bordello of back-scratching. The Senate is a disgrace to Canada. The Senate doesn’t make our nation better, it makes it worse. An unelected assembly of landowners has no legitimate right to rule over the rest of us, no matter what the Constitution says. The Senate is a constitutional institution, to be sure. But then, so was slavery in the U.S. and the slave trade in Britain, in the 19th century. If Canadians, in a national referendum, direct our politicians to get rid of the Senate, then politicians would be well advised to listen to the voters. Gregory Thomas is a former Langley resident who was active in both federal and municipal politics here. He was also editor of Langley-based Fraser Valley News Herald in his teen years. He is currently federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, and is based in Ottawa.

Celebrating volunteers Langley’s Nicomekl Enhancement Society will hold its 11th annual members-only appreciation event on Aug. 11 DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The Nicomekl Enhancement Society will be honouring its many volunteers later this month. It is the eleventh year of the invitationonly Annual Pig Out volunteer appreciation event featuring a trivia game, children’s scavenger hunt, candy guess game and other events. The society got its start in 1989, when the Langley Rod and Gun Club hosted a public meeting to organize a group of Langley area volunteers willing to work on restoring and enhancing the troubled Nicomekl River watershed. First known as Fish for your Future, and later as the Nicomekl Enhancement Society, the all-volunteer
Zoo donates $55,000 to conservation efforts On Friday, the Greater Vancouver Zoo was able to donate $55,000 to three endangered animal conservation causes all over the world thanks to its “Quarters for Conservation Program.” Twenty-five cents from each general admission price was allocated into the “Q4C” program between August 2011 and December 2012. The program was started to generate funds supporting field conservation projects for endangered species locally and internationally. Additionally, guests are encouraged to learn more about each program by visiting the three interactive spiral wishing wells near the front entrance.
There, they can make a decision about which program they wish to support by contributing to save the endangered species in the wild. “We are just thrilled with the funding to date and it goes without saying that, even small change can make a huge difference to help save these wonderful endangered species,” said Jody Henderson, general manager. After careful consideration was given, three projects were selected: The Guatemalan yellow-naped Amazon parrot; the Indian Hornbill Nest Adoption Program and the Iranian Cheetah Project.

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY Harry HUNT/Black Press
Top left: Surrey-Fleetwood MLA and former Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender participates in the fast draw competition; below left: Bill Reid aboard his 1950 John Deere tractor, competing in the antique tractor pull; above: the extreme lawnmower races on the Aldergrove Athletic Park BMX track proved to be a big attraction for fairgoers at Aldergrove Fair Days this year.
It’s all fun and games at the Aldergrove Fair Record crowds turned out to take in a wide range of attractions and activities on the July 19-21 weekend KURT LANGMANN Black Press
B
rilliant, sunny weather brought out families by the droves for a recordbreaking 101st edition of the annual Aldergrove Fair on the weekend of July 19-21. Fair spokesperson Karen Long said attendance over the three days was in excess of 5,000, resulting in record gate receipts. The fair also enjoyed a record number of vendors — in excess of 100 booths — as well as a record number of volunteers helping out on the fairgrounds. This year’s wide range of activities and good weather helped bring about the big bump in attendance. For example, the Friday evening Fair Days Show ‘n’ Shine attracted 137 entrants, compared to a third of that figure for last year’s car show, held under drizzling skies. The fair’s time-tested favourites — the Canadian Fast Draw Championships, the Farmhand Challenge, the Antique Tractor Pull, the Chili Cook-off — were as successful as ever. The Agricultural Association’s display of garden produce and crafts also featured more than 160 exhibits this year inside the Kinsmen Community Centre.
However, several new features proved to be big hits. One of the most popular attractions on Saturday and Sunday was the Extreme Lawnmower Races. The modified riding garden tractors are usually raced on flat farmland where they can easily achieve speeds of 80 km/h, but the riders were challenged by the converted BMX track at the Aldergrove Athletic Park. The humps and bumps of the track slowed them down somewhat, as the tractors have virtually no suspension, but the derring-do of the riders and flying mud that caked the racers was highly entertaining to watch. The return of the midway rides and carnival games was well-received by young and old alike this year, and the main stage featured a wide range of local musicians and performers. This year’s raffle of a weekend in Aldergrove, worth more than $2,000, was a successful fundraiser for the Fair Days Society. Winner of the grand prize was Madeline Crozier. Amanda Stillwell was picked for the 2nd prize of $1,000 worth of garden equipment, and Jennifer Packham was 3rd prize winner. The FarmHand Challenge winners for 2013 are: 1st — Cody Utas, 2nd — Natasha
Busch, 3rd — Stephanie Busch. Chili Cookoff Winners were: Celebrity Judges Choice — 1st —Chili Chili Bang Bang — Aldergrove Legion Ladies, 2nd —Boneturkeytarian — Aldergrove Rotary and the Best Team Name and Theme — Quirky Turkey Cookers, the Save On Foods team.
EXTREME LAWNMOWER RACING This new event went over so well that major sponsors are considering including the events in their promotional programs next year. The winners of this year’s Extreme Lawnmower Race events are as follows: • 12 hp class: 1st Gerald Anderson #01 (Abbotsford); 2nd Dan McDonald #77; 3rd Rick Caser (Whidby Island, Washington). • 20 hp class: 1st Gerald Anderson #01; 2nd Owen Grahn #26; 3rd Dave Parson rookie #37. • Modified: 1st Gerald Anderson #01; 2nd Owen Grahn #27; 3rd Mike Trautman #52. • Hard luck: Mike Trautman – he broke an axle. • Best crash - there were 4: Rick Caser was pretty crazy. • Crowd favourite: Mike Trautman (Maple Ridge).

WHY DETAIL YOUR VEHICLE?
Protect
Regular detailing helps keep your car in showroom condition. Just washing your car at home will not prevent paint damage from bird droppings, insect residue, tree sap, road salt, acid rain and the sun.
Stay Healthy
Having the interior of your vehicle professionally detailed not only helps fading or cracking, it can also remove potentially unhealthy dust mites and bacteria from carpets and fabric.
Value
You maintain your vehicle by doing tune ups, oil changes and tire rotations. Regular detailing helps maintain the cosmetic condition of your vehicle for a higher resale value.
Enjoy
Aren’t you happier when you drive a clean vehicle?

Life among the trees at Intergulf’s Cedar Creek By Kerry Vital
There’s nothing as wonderful as coming home after a long day and relaxing. The townhomes at Intergulf Development Group’s Cedar Creek North are like a breath of fresh air on Coquitlam’s master-planned community of Burke Mountain. “When you buy at Cedar Creek you can rest assured that you are getting the best-built townhomes the industry has to offer,” says Intergulf ’s Sasha Faris. “Our townhomes offer luxurious
finishes, great design and a palatable price to go along with it.” The homes at Cedar Creek are spacious and inviting, with their open floorplans and beautiful features. The kitchens are particularly gorgeous, with their stainless-steel appliances, custom-built Shaker-style wood cabinetry, natural granite countertop and island and chic glass mosaic tile backsplash. The bathrooms feature their own custom-built Shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by a natural granite countertop with a granite backsplash, vanity mirror with matching wood frame
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
and a modern custom-built cubic vessel sink. A soaker tub and rain-head shower nozzle adds to the feeling of calm in the space, along with a sleek ceramic tile bath-shower surround and porcelain tile floor. The electric fireplace in every home is perfect for gathering around for some cozy downtime, or if you’re in the mood for some sun, the lush landscaping draws you outside. You’ll also find private balconies, patios and decks in the homes at Cedar Creek. Burke Mountain features several parks and schools in the neighbourhood, with shopping, dining and recreation opportunities just minutes away in the Coquitlam Centre area. The community is a highly sought-after location, so Faris notes that time is running out to purchase. “With this being the last phase of the Cedar Creek townhouse project, this is the final chance to own affordable luxury atop Burke Mountain,” she says. Homes at Cedar Creek North start at $419,900 and are move-in ready. For more information about Cedar Creek, visit www.cedarcreekhomes.ca or call 604-880-1880.

The homes at Citadel Heights are built in a Craftsman style, with private decks and porches. Among the gorgeous features you’ll find in your new home is a convenient kitchen island, stainless-steel appliances and plenty of space to entertain, bottom right.
Exceptional homes at Citadel Heights By Kerry Vital
Bluetree Homes is hitting new heights with Citadel Heights, its single-family home community in Port Coquitlam. With an established location, gorgeous homes and the peace of mind that comes with buying from a well-known developer (Bluetree comes from ParkLane Homes), there’s no better time to buy than right now.
The surrounding Citadel Heights neighbourhood is becoming a popular place to live, and these 29 homes are selling quickly. “The response to this new community has been outstanding,” says Bluetree’s General Manager, Sales and Marketing Yosh Kasahara. “We’ve already sold all of the homes in our initial release and are now pre-selling homes that will complete later this year.” Bluetree is known as your friendly neighbourhood builder, and the reputation continues with Citadel Heights. The Craftsman-style architecture and rich exterior colours combine to make for a striking picture as you arrive home. There’s definitely no shortage of curb appeal here. “Our buyers love the Craftsman-style architecture of these homes,” says Kasahara. “These homes will retain their value because they have that timeless look.”
Join GVHBA Wednesday, Aug. 14 and network with the best!
The four- and five-bedroom floorplans range from 2,800 to 3,515 square feet. Big windows and a great room layout in some homes combine for an airy, spacious feeling that lets the natural light flow from room to room. You’ll especially love the dramatic vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom. Every home includes plenty of outdoor living space, with either decks or patios and front porches. You’ll also find a neighbourhood with mature landscaping, and established parks and schools just minutes away. The gourmet kitchens are centrally located in every home for maximum convenience. That continues with their eating nooks, breakfast bars and kitchen islands, making entertaining or a quick meal extremely easy. Buyers are able to choose between traditional shaker-style cabinetry or a modern flat-
panel style. Stainless-steel appliances are complemented by the quartz composite stone countertops, ceramic tile backsplash and sophisticated undermount cabinet lighting. Hand-set porcelain tile flooring is included in the entrance, kitchen and nook, powder room and laundry room, with elegant engineered hardwood throughout the rest of the main livings areas. The gas fireplace with its contemporary quartz composite stone surround and custom-designed mantel is sure to be a showpiece, or just the perfect place to relax. In the ensuite, you’ll find quartz composite stone countertops, a spa-like tub and shower with a decorative ceramic and glass accent and your choice of shaker-style or chic flatpanel cabinetry. Citadel Heights is perfectly situated, with shopping, dining, schools and recreation very close by. You’ll also have easy access to the rest of the Lower Mainland via Lougheed Highway or Highway 1, giving you the best of both worlds: a quiet neighbourhood within easy reach of every amenity you can imagine. “This community is unique because the surrounding neighbourhood is already established,” Kasahara says. “We know these homes won’t last long because there simply isn’t anything like this available in the market today.” Homes start at $829,900. For more information, visit bluetreehomes.ca, call 604468-2169 or visit the sales centre at 2195 Nova Scotia Avenue, Port Coquitlam, open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.

Considering nearly 75 per cent of Langley in the Agricultural Land Reserve, the Township is a hotbed of exciting, diversified and creative farms offering up many delights for our taste buds from berries to cheese. Langley has the most wineries this side of the Okanagan, as well as quaint cheese makers and major vegetable producers. We are lucky to live where our food is farmed. But sometimes, we forget what is all offered right in our own backyard, said Well Seasoned Gourmet Store owner/barbecue goddess/foodie extraordinaire Angie Quaale. “I think we tend to forget how much is available here,” said Quaale. That is why she decided to offer “A Very Well Seasoned Food and Winebus tours” this summer, visiting some of those great farmgate shops while also taking in a cooking class, highlighting and using ingredients from those farms. The food and wine tours fall on Sundays, and are an all-day affair, with the first stops at Glorious Organic Farms, followed up with a visit to the ever-quaint and delicious Milner Valley Cheese, Township 7 Winery and the bucolic and unique Vista D’oro. In between that, there is a lunch-and-learn session at Well Seasoned cooking school where Chef Chris Roper, of Langley’s Fat Cow and Oyster Bar, cooks with local ingredients that leave the mouth watering for more. “It’s pretty cool. We are getting a lot of good feedback,” she said of the tours. The word is getting out and people want in. There are bus tours Aug. 11 and 18 but only a

experienced at each stop because we are paying for it. I think that’s the difference. We hand-picked the farms because they deliver really good products and they have really good stories,� she said. But also the tours emphasize supporting local farmers and food producers which is something Quaale is passionate about. “We have really great farms here but unless they get our support they won’t continue and that scares me,� she said. “This is a really good way to support them.� Quaale helps bring the

Coast Capital awards $242K in youth grants Coast Capital Savings’ Metro Vancouver Young Leaders Community Council has awarded $242,150 in grants to 28 youth-focused community organizations in Metro Vancouver, as well as $62,500 to youth-focused organizations across the province.  Youth initiatives that have received or will receive grants up to the end of July include an educational cooking program for street youth and at-risk-of-homelessness youth with mental illness; health and recreational clubs for girls; and bullying prevention mentoring. “Our goal is to help build richer futures for youth in our communities,� explains Wendy Lachance, Coast Capital’s director of community leadership. This is the first year that Coast Capital’s three newly established Young Leaders Community Councils made the granting decisions. These councils were formed in 2012 and are led by community leaders under 30. This year the three councils on behalf of Coast Capital have invested a total of more than three quarters of a million dollars into youth organizations in B.C. In August, Coast Capital will begin considering community investment grant applications for the fourth quarter of 2013. Deadline to submit an application is Aug. 23.

Monique Tamminga/Langley Times
The Real Estate Investment Network (REIN) released the 2013 edition of its “Top British Columbia Investment Towns” report on July 25, with Langley taking the number 10 spot. The 110-page report analyzes the current and future prospects for real estate investment in the province over the next decade and has ranked Langley as a top investment community. The city is ranked 10th out of the 10 communities that appear in the report. Langley had previously appeared on REIN’s list of ‘must watch’ cities, but this is the first time it has actually been declared a top investment city in B.C. Surrey is first followed by Maple Ridge. Located on the outskirts of Metro Vancouver, the Township and City offer more affordable housing prices than the vast majority of Metro Vancouver towns. This has caused the region to experience a population explosion over the last decade, and it’s not expected to stop any time soon, says the authors of the report. REIN believes the completion of the new Port Mann Bridge, the expansion of lanes on the TransCanada Highway, and the addition of a RapidBus will also have a major impact on the current and future residents of Langley. Although the actual distance will remain the same, the widening of Highway 1 as far east as Exit 216 in Langley and the 10-lane span will mean that residents will not spend
as much time in traffic. “Investors now know distance is measured in minutes, not kilometres,” said Don R. Campbell, one of the report’s authors and Senior Analyst for the Real Estate Investment Network. “Langley is well-positioned to benefit from the Port Mann Bridge and Highway 1 expansion. This will increase demand for property in the region and help homeowners enjoy increased values now that the bridge is complete.” However, REIN points out that region’s strict secondary suite bylaw restrictions and focus on multi-family developments mean single-family investing options are few and far between. Langley’s high average real estate prices also make entry into the market difficult and investors may have to perform some extra due diligence in order to find cash flowing properties, says the report. The entire report is available for download free of charge at www. topbctowns.com. The top BC communities in REIN’s 2013 rankings are: 1) Surrey 2) Maple Ridge 3) Fort St. John 4) Dawson Creek 5) Kamloops 6) Abbotsford 7) Kelowna 8) Chilliwack 9) Prince George 10) Langley

Nicmans hitting the water for Canada Fort Langley teen off to Lithuania for rowing championships GARY AHUJA Times Sports
Heading into the summer, David Nicmans set a goal to make the provincial team and row for Team B.C. at the Canada Summer Games. And while he did not technically reach that goal, he has done one better: Nicmans will row for Canada at the upcoming world junior (18 and under) national rowing championships in Lithuania. “My goal was to make the provincial team this summer, so to make it to the Canadian junior national team really took me by surprise,” the 18-year-old Fort Langley explained. He was chatting with The Times by phone from Peterborough, Ont. Nicmans has been back east training with Rowing Canada since graduating from Maple Ridge’s Meadowridge School in June. He was scheduled to leave to leave for Trakai, Lithuania on July 29 for the championships which run Aug. 7 to 11. Nicmans has his Canadian jersey but hadn’t pulled it over his head quite yet. “It hasn’t dawned on me quite yet (that I am representing my country) but I am proud,” he said. And while he only took up the sport two years ago, the idea has been in his head since 2008 when Canada won gold at the Olympic Games in Beijing. He first thought about
rowing at the suggestion of his mother, Alda, who thought it might be a good fit for Nicmans. “It was always in the back of my mind since then,” he said. Basketball had always been his sport, having played the game since he was seven years old. But by the time Nicmans got to Grade 11, he had lost his passion for the game. So he tried a Learn to Row program through the Fort Langley Rowing Club and it stuck. He switched to the Burnaby Lake Rowing Club a short time later, and then in June he attended a national junior team selection camp held by Rowing Canada in Welland, Ont. “Through the process of selections, he just rose to the top,” said Carol Love, who was part of the selection committee for Rowing Canada as well as their junior national team coach for the male scullers. She has been coaching Nicmans and the rest of the junior national team since they arrived in Ontario in late June. “We are trying to identify the new talent in Canada and develop these young athletes and give them an opportunity to race against the world,” Love said. “(They) will get a taste of how fast the world is at the junior championships. “To move forward, it requires a really strong work ethic and a desire and passion for the sport.”
And Nicmans hopes that this is just the beginning, with a goal of one day representing Canada on the national team and competing at the Olympics. He figures the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro are a longshot but feels 2020 is definitely a possibility. With that goal in sight, it makes all the sacrifices worthwhile. “Being away (all summer) is tough because I do get quite homesick,” Nicmans said. “But I am basically spending the summer doing what I love. I am pretty happy right now.” Nicmans will attend the University of Victoria in the fall, where he will train with the Vikes rowing team. And that should continue his development. “It is traditionally a very strong program,” Love said. “This is really just the beginning. This is a sport which takes many years to develop an athlete.”

CAR CARE & REPAIR
Proper Rotation of Tires Rotating tires is something that many people do religiously while others put off the task until they notice a problem with the car's performance. An important component of vehicle upkeep, rotating tires not only extends the life of the tires, but it also helps ensure safer driving. There are some who are unfamiliar about how and when to rotate the tires and the benefits this routine maintenance can provide. This also could be a factor in why people procrastinate on tire rotation. One may not realize that the front tires often bear the brunt of the work in vehicle operation. Making turns or parallel parking requires the force of the front tires. Vehicles that are front-wheel-drive have front tires that supply the main motive power for the vehicle, according to Edmunds.com. The frequent use and requirements of the tires produces friction on the road, and eventually heat. The front tires wear more quickly than the rear tires. In order to extend the life of the tires, drivers
cars that have tires that are unidirectional, where they are specific to one side of the car and asymmetrical, with a tread pattern that changes from the inside of the tire to the outside. Though these tires are rare, you can't rotate them at all. Tire rotation is adviseable to preserve balanced handling, traction and even outer tire wear. But how often should it be done? Many tires should be rotated every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, even if they don't show signs of wear. Some service stations will do tire rotation at the same time that oil changes are done because the car is already on a lift. Don't expect tire rotation to correct wear problems due to worn mechanical parts or as the the tires in a criss-cross pattern, result of improper inflation presit could affect the alignment and sure. Rotation is not the only tire lead to a bumpy ride. maintenance task to do to ensure safe tires. These scenarios can depend on the vehicle and the tire, however. Consult with a service station to Certain vehicles have tires of determine the best pattern for different sizes in the rear and rotating your tires and the ideal front, which prevents front-totime interval between rotations. back rotation. There are also must periodically rotate them. Tire rotation essentially means moving the front tires to the rear and vice-versa. This means the front passenger side tire will be moved to the back passenger side position. The same thing will occur on the driver's side. There's a reason for this. Tires have unique wear patterns that are related to the suspension and the alignment. Should you switch
