Girl rescued after falling down steep ravine Rope rescue required after 12-year-old tumbles down 60-foot embankment MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

A 12-year-old girl was airlifted to B.C. Children’s Hospital after being rescued from the bottom of a steep ravine in Brookswood on Monday. Langley City fire crews got a call about the girl falling near 204 Street and 43 Avenue, around 3:40 p.m. “We located the young lady about 60 feet down a steep embankment,” said Peter Methot, assistant City fire chief. “We don’t know how or why she fell. But luckily, the crew we had are proficient in rope rescue.” Methot said 20 City firefighters, several paramedics and several Township firefighters helped in the rescue, which involved climbing gear and using ropes attached to the large cedar trees to pull the girl up. She was put in a basket stretcher instead of a regular stretcher to make the rescue possible, he said. Once the girl was safely brought to higher ground, she was airlifted to hospital by a helicopter that had landed in the nearby cemetery at 208 Street and 44 Avenue. She was conscious the whole time, but suffered several injuries including a severe fracture and possible pelvis fracture. She was being checked for possible internal injuries. Methot didn’t have an update on how the girl is doing. He said this was the first time City firefighters trained in rope rescue got to use their skills. “We are very happy with how well the rope rescue went,” said Methot.

Three suspects fingered in Aldergrove home invasion MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Two 17-year-old Langley boys and a 22-year-old Abbotsford man will answer to numerous charges involving a violent home invasion in Aldergrove, which saw them take a baseball bat to a young mom’s head, while punching her mother in front of a five-year-old boy. Police are saying the July 29 robbery at a townhouse in the 2800 block of 273 Street was

targeted and related to a prior drug dealing relationship. On that day, around 8:40 p.m. police were called to the Aldergrove townhouse when several neighbours observed three males wearing hoodies and masks kick in the door of a nearby unit. Once the suspects entered the townhouse, a female was heard yelling for someone to call the police. The 26-year-old female victim was home with her mother and

five-year-old son at the time of the invasion and recognized her attackers, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. Witnesses said two of the suspects had baseball bats while the third carried a handgun. One of the suspects struck the 26-year-old in the head with a baseball bat. The victim’s mother, 51, was punched in the face and threatened with a handgun. The five-year- old was uninjured, said Marks. The three assailants fled in an

Woman dead after dump truck crash Preliminary investigation indicates 80-year-old victim may have run stop sign MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

An RCMP officer examines the scene of a fatal collision that claimed the life of an 80-yearold Langley woman Tuesday afternoon.

An 80-year-old Langley woman died Tuesday, in a crash involving a dump truck, at 16 Avenue and 256 Street. Langley RCMP shut down the area around 256 Street and 16 Avenue while they investigated the crash. According to witnesses to the collision, around 12:15 p.m. a westbound dump truck collided with a blue sedan at the intersection of 16 Avenue and 256 Street. The truck hit the driver’s side of the vehicle. The preliminary investigation indicates the deceased didn’t stop at the southbound stop sign, crossing directly into the path of the dump truck, said Langley RCMP

spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. The victim died at the scene. “The driver of the dump truck has been fully co-operative and is extremely distraught,” Marks said. Although he attempted to avoid the collision, he was not successful. Neither speed nor alcohol appears to be factors in the collision, she added. The Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstruction Team (ICARS) will assist with the investigation. Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement investigators were on scene and will ensure a mechanical inspection of the dump truck is completed. If there are any witnesses to the collision who have not yet spoken to police, they are asked to please call Langley RCMP at 604-5323200.

Free fingerprinting station for families Preston’s offering Operation Kidsafe fingerprinting station MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Preston’s GM of Langley will be the first place in B.C. to offer an Operation Kidsafe fingerprinting station for families, free of charge. The unit allows parents to take home a print out of their children’s fingerprints and black and white photograph which can act as a lifetime safety record. “All of our efforts

in giving back to the community are directed at family and kids so this fits nicely,” said Preston’s general manager Peter Heppner. The machine will be available for families to use in the Preston showroom for at least one year. On Wednesday, families are invited to celebrate the grand opening of the fingerprinting station at 10 a.m. The founder of Operation Kidsafe Mark J. Bott will be speaking and there are some surprises for kids too, said Heppner. Vancouver Canucks’ Fin and Fraser, the Rivermen’s mascot will be there as well. “The more kids the merrier,” said Heppner.

Operation Kidsafe fingerprinting stations has served more than one million children in North America in the past 11 years. The one in Langley will be the eighth in Canada. Staff at Preston’s will be trained on how to use the machine so it can be used year-round. Bott, a parent of seven children, said he began “his life’s work,” Operations Kidsafe out of a personal experience involving a child’s safety. The ex-football player began working with John Walsh, of America’s Most Wanted and was involved in his home town of Dallas where Amber Alerts first began, so named after nine-

year-old Amber Hagerman, who was abducted. “When a child is missing, the public, the media and police all should be on the same page,” said Bott. Fingerprinting is another tool to help. Bott wants to stress to parents that the machine doesn’t have a database or memory holding each child’s information. “I am a firm believer that the only ones who need your child’s information is your health provider, school and you,” he said. But should police need fingerprints, the parents will have them ready. A North American database for police continued, PAGE 6

We’re not anti-development, says Fort Langley group DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The people suing to prevent construction of the Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley say they waited as long as they did because they were trying to negotiate an out-of-court compromise with the Township. The Fort Langley Residents for Sustainable Development issued a written statement on Friday, after The Times had reported that a lawyer for the Township was arguing the group waited too long, seven-and-a-half months after the project was approved, to apply for an injunction. “The Township of Langley did receive a notice from our lawyer in late January that legal action was a possibility,” the statement said. “We spent seven months going back and forth with the Township before coming to the conclusion there was no compromise forthcoming. The Township of Langley severed direct communication. Legal action was not initiated until this point for the simple reason that it was not our first choice, it was our last.” The written statement was emailed to The Times by Diane Morrison, one of the directors of the society. According to a BC Registry Services search, Fort Langley Residents for Sustainable Development was incorporated on May 23, 2013, with five directors: Morrison, Dorothy Abreo, Vicky Fraser, Andreas Schildhorn and Harold Whittell. Last week, Coulter Berry developer Eric Woodward described Morrison as the “primary proprietor” of Wendel’s cafe and bookstore, the business located across the street from the proposed building. “The petition seems designed to delay the commencement of construction of the Coulter Berry Building to prevent additional competition in Fort Langley for Wendel’s,” Woodward said. The Morrison email said the society “concerns regarding this development are with the Township of Langley, not the developer” and goes on to say the group is not antidevelopment, it is against buildings

that violate the heritage guidelines that are supposed to govern construction in Fort Langley. “The society’s mandate is not to stop all development in the Heritage Conservation Area,” the statement said. “We encourage sustainable development that conforms to the Fort Langley Official Community Plan, and the Fort Langley Building Facade Guidelines.” By a 7-1 vote in November of last year, Township council approved a heritage alteration permit for the three-storey mix of residential, office and retail at the intersection of Glover Road and Mavis Avenue. At 43.5 feet tall and three storeys high, the Coulter Berry building is 14.5 feet over the height limit of 29 feet and two storeys. It also has a lot coverage of 67 per cent, when only 60 per cent is allowed. In the application to have the lawsuit dismissed, the Township lawyer also argued the society “does not have a direct, personal interest” in the issue as defined by law. In the society release, the directors were described as “long-time residents and business owners in Langley, all with deep roots and ties to Fort Langley.” If construction is allowed to proceed, the society court petition said the Coulter Berry building would “unalterably and irreparably undermine the heritage policies for land located in the Heritage Conservation Area, to the detriment of the cultural and historical heritage of Fort Langley, contrary to law.” In the application to have the case thrown out, the Township lawyer said Langley Township council has a “broad discretion” to approve variances from heritage guidelines. The case is scheduled to be heard by a B.C. Supreme Court judge in Chilliwack on Sept. 9. Scaffolding has been erected around the Coulter Berry site, but construction hasn’t started. Developer Woodward said the delay isn’t due to the court action and he expects work will begin later this month once “a few more technical details” have been worked out.

Bottle drive to help cancer patient, 6 MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Family, friends and even strangers have come together to put on a bottle drive on Saturday for the family of a special little boy. Keian Blundell, 6, is in the fight of his life, battling cancer for the third time. Team Keian is asking people to bring bottles and cans or financial donations to the George Preston Recreation Centre on Saturday, Aug. 17 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Many people are putting in time on Saturday to help sort bottles, because they are moved by the devastating fight Keian has been in for more than a year. The time spent at B.C. Children’s Hospital and away from work has put his parents in financial hardship, said Aimee Hilderbrant, family friend and organizer of the bottle drive. Parents Chantal and Ryan had everything any couple could ever want. They had a funloving, bright young son Keian and a brand new baby boy Joren in their arms. Then on July 10, 2012, with Joren was only five weeks old, Keian was diagnosed with T-cell acute Lymphoblastic leukemia. He responded to treatment well and went into remission. Sadly, he relapsed by December. Chantal and Ryan both gave up work to be with Keian around the clock. They gave up their home in Langley to live in a trailer on site at B.C. Children’s Hospital. His best chance at life, doctors said, was to get a bone marrow transplant from a sibling. Joren was a perfect match and just before his first birthday he gave his big brother the gift of life. Keian celebrated his sixth birthday isolated in a small room in order to protect his newlyforming immune system. Chantal tried to go back to work this summer. But just when the family thought they were beating the disease, it has come back, worse than ever before. Doctors aren’t hopeful, but the Blundells are, and are hoping for everyone’s prayers to fight. In the meantime, Ryan’s EI has run out. The hospital has provided them with an apartment nearby for now, but they face being homeless. “They haven’t left Keian’s side since he was back in hospital two weeks ago,” said Hilderbrant. She held a similar bottle drive last week in Maple Ridge and already has given the Blundells a cheque for $1,100 from that fundraiser. The Blundells have been given a slim chance by doctors that Keian’s cancer could go into remission and they are holding onto that chance with all their might, said Hilderbrant. Chantal has been keeping a blog about Keian’s cancer fight called keiansjourney. blogspot.ca.

WE SAY

THEY SAY

IIO would be best

IOC needs to take stand

fatal crash involving a semitruck tractor unit and a pedestrian on Langley Bypass last Wednesday morning raises far more questions than the answers provided thus far. And it also begs the question — why do police continue to have the power to investigate the actions of someone who is working for them, when we have an Independent Investigations Office (IIO) which is supposed to remove the blatant conflicts of interest? This particular incident involved a civilian contractor who does regular work for police agencies. He was working for Surrey RCMP, investigating the circumstances of a fatal crash in November, 2012 involving a truck and a police cruiser driven by Surrey RCMP Const. Adrian Oliver. Just a few hours before the pedestrian fatality, the contractor was using the semi-truck as part of the police investigation. Just before 3 a.m. on Aug. 7, the truck was heading eastbound when it struck a 37-yearold Langley man in the 19500 block of Langley Bypass. The driver did not stop. Police put out a public plea for information, and a short time later, the truck was located. Soon afterwards, it was traced to the contractor. Surrey RCMP deserve credit for quickly letting the public know that the prime suspect is a contractor who was working for them, and was working on a case involving the death of an RCMP officer. This type of transparency has not always been on display from police agencies. Surrey RCMP also stated that, because the man was a contractor who worked for them, the investigation would be observed by another police agency. While that is a step toward making this an arm’s length investigation, it is far too tentative. We have seen from the Robert Dziekanski case, and numerous others, that police simply cannot investigate incidents involving fellow officers and remain 100 per cent objective. That isn’t a criticism. It’s human nature. These cases led to establishment of the IIO. The legislation setting up the IIO did not make allowances for the agency to investigate civilian police employees or contractors doing work for police agencies. Yet it seems logical that the same conflicts of interest which have caused so much public concern would be present when Surrey RCMP are tasked with investigating a fatal traffic crash involving someone working for them.

ctor George Takei has started a petition to have the Sochi Olympic Games moved from Russia to Canada. U.S. President Barack Obama has cancelled a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. While Obama’s reasons for cancelling the summit are many, one of them is Russia’s crackdown on civil rights — namely new laws that almost make homosexuality a crime. Takei, a well-known gay rights activist, has that as a specific reason for wanting the Olympics moved from that country. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has denounced Russia’s controversial new anti-gay law as hateful. Kudos to Baird, Takei and Obama for taking a stand. It’s time, however, that the International Olympic Committee also took a stand. Too often the powers-that-be hold their nose and look the other way when dealing with countries rife with human rights abuses. Or they rationalize that in doing business with such countries, the abusers will see the folly of their ways and change. That simply doesn’t happen. In fact, the second principle stated in the Olympic Charter reads: “The goal of Olympism is to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity.” The sixth principle in the charter reads: “Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement.” So what does the International Olympic Committee have to say about Russia instituting homophobic laws? “The IOC has received assurances from the highest level of government in Russia that the legislation will not affect those attending or taking part in the Games.” In other words, hold your nose and dive right in. —Prince George Free Press The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

CELLPHONE COMPETITION

PM giving away Canadian assets Editor: I can’t believe Prime Minister Stephen Harper is gifting away Canadian assets and tax dollars and seems to think this is good for Canadians. Worse, from the comments I’ve seen posted in response to media articles, it seems many members of the public agree. The issue isn’t allowing or not allowing Verizon to compete in Canada. Yes, they should be allowed to come in. The issue is under what terms. Harper’s statement means he’s planning to give a behemoth, which is four times the size of Bell, Rogers, and Telus combined. the same benefits the government had set aside to help new entrants. These are: 1 - The ability to buy two of the four available blocks of wireless spectrum when the incumbents are each only allowed to bid on one. 2 - The ability to buy the smaller wireless carriers like Wind and Mobilicity, while the incumbents are now prohibited

from doing so. 3 - The ability to simply use the networks our Canadian companies invested billions of dolars in, and took 30 years to build. Who cares, you think? We all should care. Harper says he wants competition, but this policy effectively means no competition for Verizon in the spectrum auction or in bidding on the smaller carriers, so they can buy both on the cheap. That means we the taxpayers get shafted on the first (the money from the auction goes into the same government coffers our tax dollars do), the investors of the smaller carriers get shafted on the second, and we all get shafted as our mutual funds and pensions take a beating on the third (perhaps you didn’t know that a large portion of Canada’s pension funds and mutual funds are heavily invested in Canadian telecom firms). Verizon has the dollars to compete on the first two and win, and certainly has the

dollars to build its own network, which would create jobs and economic benefits in Canada. We shouldn’t be giving these assets away, but getting full dollar value for them. Open the door to Verizon and foreign competition, but don’t give away the furniture in the process. I have sent a letter to my MP, Mark Warawa, with further details on these concerns. I have asked for his help to change the aforementioned policies. I appreciate your help in sharing this information, as it seems most people think the incumbent wireless carriers are opposing Verizon’s entry into Canada, rather than these policies. We all need to stand up and let our government know that we want competition, but on an even playing field and with full respect to the value of our Canadian assets. Angelika Vance, Langley

Busking ban background explained Editor: This is a response to the nameless person whom took issue with my original letter (The Times, Aug. 6). It is difficult to respond to nameless criticism of my professionalism. I am unhidden, exposed and an easy target. Even though I am not afforded the courtesy of facing my accuser, I will attempt to explain the events that have led us to this controversy. Mall merchants are already aware of these events, however, the public isn’t. Let’s bring everyone up to speed. Buskers were allowed, and encouraged, to entertain at Langley Mall until one fateful day when a petition for a medical marijuana dispensary in Langley City was being set up at the mall. An unknown lady came by and began interrogating the petitioners about whether, or not, they had permission to set up there. I was just finishing up for the day and left my gear to help mediate the dispute. After calmly explaining to the lady that the petitioners had been there, on and off, all summer without issue, she turned on me and in a condescending tone said “You don’t have permission either.” The next day, while busking as per usual, I was approached by two security guards and they asked me to leave. Why? They

said they had received a complaint from a female merchant that there was an “aggressive panhandler” on the premises. “I am a busker, not aggressive, or a panhandler” was my response. They said they were given a description of a person that matched my appearance. The female merchant lied to authorities in order to have me removed. Shortly thereafter, a link between buskers, panhandlers, drug dealers and thieves was fabricated and the new mall “policy” was concocted from the fabrication. Webster’s Dictionary defines slander as follows: “slan·der - Noun - The action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person’s reputation.” Whether a person agrees or disagrees with the concept of busking, they do not have the right to discriminate, defame or otherwise slander those who do agree. If a person is slandered and can prove it; what would you have them do? What would you do? What would anyone do? I am a peaceful man and not interested in damaging anyone, yet buskers have been painted as villains when the opposite is closer to reality. I do unto others as I would have them do unto me. I am by no means infallible

and far from perfect, but I am a good person. When I see wrong, I stand up for what is right. I cross the street to speak with people that most folks would cross the street to avoid because I make a conscious effort not to judge and keep an open mind. All we (buskers) wish to do is entertain so we can eat like regular people, pay the bills and maybe even have a beer at the local pub. We are pleasant, harmless, positive people with passion and soul. We lift spirits, we create ambience, we spark memories, we make people dance, smile and sometimes even laugh out loud. It is a certainty. A majority of people would disagree with the insinuation that I, or any other authentic busker, would be the equivalent of a panhandler, drug dealer or thief. Maybe this is why my critic remains anonymous. The reason I use the word “we” is because the ban not only affects me, but several others. The ban, created under false pretences, has resulted in hardship for those who rely on that income to make ends meet. Do I sound unprofessional? Bruce Leitch, Langley (name not withheld by request)

Marijuana smoking can damage kids’ health Editor: I am writing in response to the letter (The Times, July 16) regarding neighbours’ pot smoking. Dear Monica, I feel for you, as I have gone through similar problems with recent neighbours and my daughter has had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance on two occasions, due to the excessive pot smell and smoke coming in through windows and the bathroom fan, which cause respiratory problems for her. These times are extremely scary for both of us, as she is unable to breathe and literally claws at her throat. pleading with me to help. What many do not realize is that there The

are people who are sensitive to marijuana and suffer from migraines, allergic and respiratory type reactions when someone chooses to light up around them. For some, the migraines can last for days. I have a friend whose young daughter gets headaches and ends up banging her head on the wall when their neighbours light up. It is even worse during the summer months, when the smell and smoke intensify, linger and travel quite far due to the heat. In B.C., it is illegal to smoke in a home or car with minors, or within a certain feet of open doors and windows. It is also illegal to drive while intoxicated or while drinking an open bottle or can of alcohol,

Yet I have seen marijuana smokers who smoke in their homes around children, light up during indoor events, near parks or even while driving a car. I realize that there are those who use marijuana for medical reasons. However, marijuana can be consumed in alternate forms of the drug that will not affect those around them. It is extremely unfair that those around a marijuana user must suffer because the user may have “a right” to a puff. I just want to know when the rights of a few became more important than the rights of the many. Danielle, Langley

Can Senate be changed? Editor: Gregory Thomas’ comments on the Canadian Senate (The Times, Aug. 1) were interesting. I always appreciate a historical perspective. Presently we have an upper house that is not working and has not worked for many years. It is totally unbalanced in favour for the east and politically manipulated by every government that comes to power. The problem becomes a change in the Canadian constitution. Is anyone willing to rise up and stand for change? Clayton Randle, Langley

Double taxation in Township Editor: Why is the Township of Langley double taxing homeowners who have adhered to building codes and bylaws? We already pay for our legal suites via the assessment process. For two years consecutively, the assessment authority has stated it assesses me a higher value on my home, due to the legal suite. Why then must I pay additional fees, even at a discounted rate? The fact a family member lives in my suite is irrelevant. Why not charge fees to the owners of illegal suites — these are the individuals who have not followed proper safety or building codes. The assessment authority is not be taxing them for these additional suites. Should the Township decide to continue down this path, future home sales will be affected, as budgets are already strained. Why not charge a reasonable amount, such as City of Kelowna does — $28 per year for a legal suite, and more for an illegal suite. The Township of Langley has one objective — increase its income. R. Bhullar, Langley

While Sgt. Diane Cockle is only the third female RCMP officer to earn a PhD, the Simon Fraser University graduate’s thesis is the world’s first to comprehensively study the progression of human decomposition at crime scenes. It’s a subject that falls within the discipline of taphonomy. Cockle’s morbid research topic stems

from her work with the RCMP’s National Forensic Identification Support Services, based in Vancouver. The “death detective” lives in Langley. “In my role as a forensic anthropologist and death investigator, I need to reconstruct what’s happened to the body from the point of death, to the point of discovery,” says

bodies all day at work, and then all night at home as she sifted through 358 RCMP files of homicides or sudden deaths to complete her research. The payoff, the Langley resident says, is that taphonomy is now a new and useful tool for death investigators. “For the first time, we can say what’s normal for bodies at crime scenes,” she says.

“I can now say with relative confidence that this body has never been in water, or spent time indoors and then outdoors, or has been dug out of a grave by animals or scavengers.” She has also developed a new classification system for describing decomposition in the Canadian environment, which is slightly different than in other countries.

is teaching taphonomy for the first time at the Canadian Police College in Ottawa to senior crime scene investigators from police agencies across Canada. “SFU has taught me to challenge my assumptions and ask the questions that everyone else is too scared to ask,” says Cockle. “For forensic taphonomy, death is only the beginning.”

Trinity Western University and Ha Tinh University signed a Proposal for Collaboration on the TWU campus on July 23. This proposal for collaboration was the culmination of years of relationship development between the Township and Ha Tinh City in Ha Tinh, Vietnam. In August 2011, the Township of Langley and Ha Tinh City were paired together to undertake a two-year partnership program. The economic program is funded and supported by the Canadian Federation of Municipalities, the Association of Cities of Vietnam and The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). In 2011, key TWU faculty and staff launched the global education taskforce report. The taskforce laid out three pillars of the globally connected universities of the 21st century. The relationship between TWU and Ha Tinh

University is timely as TWU is more prepared than ever to both receive international students. The agreement with Ha Tinh University will enable TWU to make a meaningful impact on learners in one of the poorest provinces in Vietnam. A preliminary outcome of the proposal will see TWU sending a group of students to Vietnam in the summer of 2014 to serve in the city of Ha Tinh, and to provide English-language training to students at Ha Tinh University. Philip Laird, Ph.D., Associate Provost at TWU understands the impact this type of service project can have on areas like Ha Tinh. “This global project to Ha Tinh will help equip the people of Ha Tinh with the English skills they will need to compete globally,” he said.

Another look at liquor laws

he BC Liberal government is ordering up another round BC Views of liquor regulation changes, looking for TOM FLETCHER ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated with alcohol. Discussions with B.C.’s 10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence. Another question: why can a family with under-aged children go into a licensed restaurant for lunch, but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until the traditional 5 p.m. “happy hour” when the pub reverts to adults-only. A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations. Look for new licence opportunities for farmers’ markets to sell local beverages along with the produce and preserves. Letters inviting suggestions from existing licence holders have gone out, and RichmondSteveston MLA John Yap will be meeting this fall with industry groups, local governments, police, health and social policy organizations and First Nations. A website will be put up in September so members of the public can have their say. Here’s my suggestion to start things off. Recent incidents involving so-called “party buses” shone a light on this growing industry, The sudden death of a 16-year-old on a party bus outing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcohol-related, but to no one’s surprise, open liquor was found aboard the bus. Open liquor isn’t allowed in any vehicle, but perhaps a new kind of special event licence could be created for party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to impaired driving, and the situation isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat. Here’s another suggestion. Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popular, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals. Why not licence these establishments, at least so people can bring their own wine for dinner? Both the BC Liberals and NDP have advocated for easing the archaic rules on inter-provincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on mail order wine, and has urged other provinces to follow suit. There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition. Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine. The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry. The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The BC Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union. There are more creative ways to liberalize alcohol sales. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Online radio to be highlighted A next generation online radio station for young people will be highlighted at this Saturday’s Arts Alive event in downtown Langley City. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., TV and radio host Terrance Evans and his board are welcoming young poets, youth, politicians and media to the grand opening of ACME Arts Society’s ACME Youth Radio. It is also known as YACME.ca. It will be at the Langley Arts Council courtyard, 20550 Fraser Highway. ACME Arts Society is a nonprofit agency that aims to create an opportunity for young people (ages nine to 25) to express themselves via the arts. YACME is one of the ways

in which they will be doing that. It is a next generation online radio and eventually television station. It will be broadcasting live 24/7, with all programming hosted, edited, filmed, and created by youth. The station will give the kids a voice to express their understanding of the world they live in and what it is like to be a teenager or young adult today. It also allows the community to hear their views on what is happening at home and abroad, their thoughts on various issues, and will showcase the arts in a creative way. Saturday’s events include an outdoor stage hosting slam poetry, live music, a poetry

Cordless Lawn Care

scrawl board, poems for sale, and youth broadcasting live from the outdoor courtyard. A number of local sponsors are making the event happen, including Scotia Bank, McFrugals, Liquidation World and the Langley Arts Council. Evans is a Vancouver radio talk show host, and producer of numerous TV, radio, and internet online shows. In 2001, he began the first internet radio show in Vancouver. His dream was to one day teach youth some of these skills and allow them a voice to express their creativity. Live and archived broadcasts can be heard on www.yacme. ca.

Metro utility fees to jump 23 per cent “We would be crucified at our end if we were to throw out those numbers,” Baldwin said at a recent meeting of Metro’s finance committee. Regional water servicing costs are slated to rise from $147 per average household now to $152 in 2014 and reach $189 by 2018, reflecting increases of around eight per cent in the next four years. Cost drivers include the new SeymourCapilano Filtration Project, adding ultraviolet drinking water disinfection to the Coquitlam source and building new tunnels beneath the Fraser River to carry drinking water to Surrey. The sewage system — where rising federal standards are forcing Metro to rebuild two treatment plants — is pushing sewer levy hikes from $171 now to $216 by 2018. The sewage cost projection is consid-

Black Press

Sharply rising costs to upgrade Metro Vancouver’s sewer and water system will translate into steadily rising utility fees for the region’s residents. A new five-year forecast tabled by the regional district shows overall regional levies are expected to climb 23 per cent by 2018, costing the average household nearly $100 more than today. The average $725,000 home that paid $418 for regional utilities this year will see that rise to $430 next year — a 2.9 per cent increase — and a projected $516 by 2018. “It’s a little bit disturbing,” White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said of the nearly 25 per cent increase in utility fees over five years, adding that’s far more than the rate of increase of property taxes from most local cities.

Although Metro Vancouver has forecast soaring garbage tipping fees — rising from $107 per tonne now to $150 and beyond in the coming years as it builds a new waste-to-energy plant — that’s not expected to bite as deeply at the household level. The solid waste levy is projected to translate into an increase from $60 per household now to $66 by 2018. That’s because

ered tentative because regional district officials don’t yet know how much of the $1.7 billion-plus price tag for new treatment plants might come from senior governments. And the regional board is also contemplating changing the formula that apportions sewage upgrade costs across the region — as a result the actual household impact could vary wildly depending on each city’s share.

ing First Nations. “We should be getting taxpayers value out of that land,” Jackson said. “We’re not in the business of running ranches. Taxpayers’ dollars are sitting out there.” Metro officials said the ranch continues to run and is covering its operating costs. They said the region had been holding off on trying to sell the land due to low real estate prices, but will review the decision this fall.

Some Metro Vancouver directors want the region to look at increasing regional development cost charges, which haven’t changed in several years, as one way of generating more revenue. And Delta Mayor Lois Jackson questioned why Metro Vancouver still owns the Ashcroft ranch — which it once intended to turn into a new landfill until it was blocked by the province and oppos-

organic waste collection and other recycling gains are expected to mean households generally will produce less garbage that incurs tipping fees in the years ahead. The levy for the main regional district budget — which mostly goes to run Metro regional parks and to pay for planning and administration costs — is projected to rise slightly from $40 per household to $45 by 2018.

A group of Grade 5 students who managed to eliminate 34 tonnes of greenhouse gases were rewarded with a pizza party by the Township of Langley. The kids in Claire Burns’s Grade 5 class at Fort Langley Elementary were among 275 students who participated in

the Climate Change Showdown program. A province-wide initiative by the BC Sustainable Energy Association for children in grades 4 to 7, the program aims to teach kids about climate change and earn points by action to reduce their carbon footprints. The Township funded participation in the program and classes at Langley Fundamen-

Summer ukulele camp

Kids earned most energy points from PAGE 19

“Everything from having their parents check the car tire pressure and taking shorter showers to composting and changing to energyefficient lighting.” Langley students came up with 35 ideas to reduce energy use, including dressing warmer instead

of turning on heat, using less water to brush their teeth, switching to solar appliances, and planting trees. Because the Fort Langley Elementary students earned the most points they also won a pizza party that was delivered in June by Sitch and Township community energy manager Ryan Schmidt.

If your kids are getting bored towards the end of summer, a ukulele camp is being offered Aug. 19 to 23. Katlyn Lovett, who has been with the Langley Ukulele Ensemble for nine years, is one of the two ukulele instructors.

She said the camp is for beginners and for those who have played before. The camp goes every day from 9 a.m. to noon, and includes a T-shirt, snacks and rental of a ukulele. “It’s an overall musical experience, with music the-

public notice Summer Maintenance of Rural Boulevards and Ditches The Township of Langley uses three full-time and one seasonal roadside grass mower for ditch mowing. This equipment has predetermined routes or an assigned area to follow. If the equipment is pulled away to do a specific request, it only lengthens the time it takes to fully complete all the rural boulevards and ditches. If you have a request for mowing or brushwhacking, we ask that you be patient as we try to fit the work schedule in as efficiently as possible. The Township, along with Provincial and Federal agencies, have classified open channel water systems into three categories: Class A ditches are fish bearing and Class B ditches are fish habitat. Both of these categories require formal approval before any work can be completed. Class C ditches are deemed to have no fish or fish habitat issues whatsoever and only require notification for work to take place. How or when a ditch is cleaned depends on its classification. Thank you for your understanding as we operate under these requirements. Engineering Division 604.532.7300

FAME & FORTUNE.

Eight-year-old Olivia Sayani raised $500 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation in the very first fundraiser she organized on her own. Coast Capital Savings in Fort Langley, and manager Melody Cusmano, helped her reach her goal.

Eight-year-old raises $530 for heart fund Eight-year-old Olivia Sayani took part in a fundraiser at her school in May. On her own, she set a goal of raising $500 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation through the annual Jump Rope for Heart program. She and other members of her Grade 2 class, along with other classes at Langley Fine Arts School, did one hour of skipping to fulfil their commitment and raise the funds. She really believes in community, helping others and fundraising. She has been involved in different fundraising events since she was three. This was her first fundraising event which she decided do completely on her own. She set a big goal of $500 for a 10-day campaign. She worked very hard and with both online and in-person donations, she received a total of $330. With one day left, her father suggested she try a business to see if they would help with her goal. She loved the idea and decided to “pitch” her fundraiser to the Coast Capital branch in Fort Langley. She gave them all her reasons for participating and asked for a top-up to $500. Branch manager, Melody Cusmano agreed. She gave Olivia another “duty” to count up $5 worth of pennies and also contributed another $200 for the cause. With all ther help, Olivia was able to raise $530. She learned a lot about taking a leadership role, believing in her cause, and showing confidence, as well as not being afraid to ask.

Containers hold homes in Downtown Eastside Affordable housing is taking a new twist with a complex in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside built from old shipping containers. A dozen containers have been converted into apartments, each with about 290 square feet of living space. Every home includes a private bathroom, kitchen and in-suite laundry, as well as huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The project was built through a partnership between Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation, Atira Women’s Resource

Society, BC Hydro and several other community partners. The aim was to provide safe, affordable housing for women in the Downtown Eastside. “We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of this development,” says Atira Women’s Resource Society CEO Janice Abbott. “Atira has the vision and the tenacity to see this project through a precedent-setting development process, despite criticism and opposition. ... The building and individual suites look better than we ever could have imagined.”

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Construction began on Nov. 30, 2012, and every home was completed by July of this year. Six of the homes will be social housing for older women, while the remaining six will be rented at Housing Income Limits rental rates. The residents of the social housing homes will be women with roots in the Downtown Eastside who will be mentoring younger women living next door at the Imouto Housing for Young Women through Atira’s Intergenerational Mentorship Program. Residents will be able to take possession on Sept. 1. “This shipping container housing development serves to show us that with creative thinking we can work to ensure that everyone has access to safe and secure housing,” says Miriam Sobrino, chair of Atira’s board of directors. The project was inspired by BC Hydro’s “House of the Future”, which was also made from recycled shipping containers and was placed on the front lawn of BC Hydro’s office during the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. BC Hydro donated the house after the end of the Games. Two other containers were donated, and the remaining eight were purchased through the Port of Vancouver. For more information, visit www.atira.bc.ca.

The townhomes at Polygon’s Lakeside include executive-level features such as stainless-steel appliances, a kitchen island, laminate ﬂooring and engineered stone countertops, above. Buyers will be able to take advantage of some amazing amenities, including living right on Sunstone Lake, below right.

Executivestyle living at Lakeside By Kerry Vital

Polygon’s Sunstone master-planned community in North Delta is the perfect family-friendly neighbourhood, with amenities, plenty of outdoor space and gorgeous homes. Now the community is adding elegance with Lakeside, threebedroom townhomes right in the heart of Sunstone.

“Nothing has been built like this in years,” says Lakeside sales manager Theresa Liljedahl. “These are true executive-level townhomes.” Lakeside brings something special to Sunstone with its master-on-main floorplan, the Seaside Series. “There’s been a high demand for homes with the master on the main floor,” Liljedahl says. “People have been waiting years for this. It’s all-on-one-level living.” The upper floor includes two more bedrooms and a flex room, giving buyers options for how they want to use their space. The second floorplan at Lakeside, the Hampton Series, features all three bedrooms on the upper level. Most homes are over 2,000 square feet, giving you tons of space to entertain or relax. Curb appeal is not in short supply at Lakeside. The homes are built using classic

Seaside architecture, with pitched roofs, stone and wood detailing and window boxes. Street-fronting homes include picket fencing and stone post entry gates to complement the architecture. Buyers will be able to enjoy time outdoors on their private decks or patios, which feature gas hookups for your barbecue. You’ll also love your private fenced yard. The kitchen in your new home is a prime example of the high-quality finishings you’ll find at Lakeside. With engineered stone countertops, a marble backsplash, customdesigned, naturally stained quarter oak flat panel or white painted Shaker-style cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, your kitchen is fit for a gourmet chef. It’s also the perfect place to entertain with its kitchen island. Select homes include a large walk-in pantry for extra storage. Laminate flooring is featured throughout

the main living areas. Radiant in-floor heating will keep you warm and comfortable no matter what the weather is doing. “It’s a wonderful way of heating a home,” says Liljedahl. Nine-foot ceilings on the main level add to the sense of spaciousness in the home, with some homes featuring vaulted ceilings in the living room. Your new living room also holds an electric fireplace with custom surround. The master ensuite bathroom is made for pampering, with its oversized soaker tub, separate shower with glass enclosure and marble tile accents and marble countertops. It also features his-and-hers sinks, a large vanity mirror and porcelain tile flooring. Every home has a main floor powder room for maximum convenience, with its own porcelain tile flooring and elegant pedestal sink or vanity with undermount sink. Sunstone is home to some pretty amazing amenities. The 12,000-square-foot Sunstone Club includes an outdoor pool, gym, fireside lounge with a billiards table and much more. Sunstone Lake is right beside Lakeside, along with a playground, outdoor stage and several trails for walking or cycling. A shopping village is in the works for the future, and an urban community garden is moments away. When you venture off the property, you’ll find schools, shopping, dining and recreation all nearby. Homes start in the low $600,000s. For more information, visit www.polyhomes.com, call 604-585-7107 or visit the presentation centre at 10500 Delsom Avenue, open daily except Fridays between noon and 6 p.m.

‘You can really taste the difference’

GARY AHUJA Times Reporter

Like many first-time parents, Jordan Hurdal made some life changes after the birth of his daughter two years ago. “From that point, I wanted to start growing my own items, with no sprays,” explained the 36-yearold. “I am really concerned a lot more about what I am putting in my body.” It also prompted a change on the Hurdal’s family farm, which they have had for more than 30 years. Before, they just produced hay, but now they are selling fresh produce and fruit from their new stand, Willoughby Farm, which is at 6730 208 St. (just the curve on the corner of 208 Street and 67 Avenue).

They held their grand opening on Saturday. “One of the main things we are trying to do is deliver fresh goods and try to deliver really high quality, farm fresh, local produce to people,” Hundal said. “I am really just trying to deliver ultra-fresh products to people. “I think you can really taste the difference.” In addition to growing the produce, Hundal also has Chilliwack corn and berries from Abbotsford and Cloverdale. They are also selling fresh pies. They also have the farm’s miniature horse, Smokey, as well as a small lamb at the stand for kids to see. The stand is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It will be open until the end of October and then will re-open in April.

“ Building Investors Wealth for over a Decade”

The Langley Times • Thursday, August 15, 2013 • 39

A failure to take advantage of their opportunities — a problem their opponent did not have — cost the Langley Junior Blaze in the U16 provincial B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League championship. The Blaze fell 7-2 to the North Shore Junior Twins in the finals, which were held on Sunday at McLeod Athletic Park. “The main thing was they cashed in their opportunities and we didn’t,” said Langley coach Eddie Dagg. “And their starting pitcher (Will McAffer) stepped up and pitched a complete game with nine strikeouts. “He had his stuff.” Langley had its chances, with five hits and five walks. Unfortunately, they stranded eight base runners. The Twins and the Blaze were seeded one-two for the eight-team provincial tournament. And after both went 2-1 in the round robin to finish second in their respective pools, each was forced to play a qualifier game on Sunday morning just to make the semifinals. Langley won 6-2 over the Victoria Junior Mariners while North Shore defeated the Abbotsford Junior Cardinals 5-0. The Blaze then hammered Coquitlam 11-2 in one semifinal while the Twins edged the Vancouver Junior Cannons 3-2 in the other. With the two extra qualifier games on Sunday, that meant the two teams had to play three times on the final day and the championship final was pushed back from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The darkness and the unfamiliarity of playing late in the evening took its toll on the Blaze as Dagg said the pitcher had difficulty seeing the coach’s signs for what pitch to throw. And the Twins jumped on the mistakes early, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first and another two in the second. North Shore’s Manny Restrepo did the bulk of the damage with four RBIs Langley had one run in each of the second and fourth innings with Rudy Lipscombe scoring both times. Dakota Currie had an RBI double while Shayne Clarke had the other RBI.

Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times

Langley Junior Blaze’s Danny Hollins delivers a pitch during his team’s semifinal game against the Coquitlam Redlegs at McLeod Park. Hollins pitched a complete game as Langley won 11-2 to advance to the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League provincial final, which they lost 7-2 to the North Shore Junior Twins. Parker Logan was tagged with the loss as he failed to get out of the second inning. Logan surrendered five runs. Justin Geerts came on in relief and allowed one run over one and two-thirds innings while Thomas Sloan pitched two and two-thirds innings, allowing no runs. Dagg said the players were disappointed after the final. “They showed a lot of heart

all through the tournament,” he said. “They didn’t want to see the season end (like this).” The team also came up short of both of their ultimate goals: winning both the league title and the provincial title. And both times it was North Shore that stopped them as the Twins won the regular season title with a 35-9 record, two games better than Langley’s 33-11 mark.

Rolfe overcomes concussion, nabs gold GARY AHUJA Times Sports

One can only imagine what Hannah Rolfe been able to do had she been healthy the past three months. Just cleared last week from a concussion she suffered back in May at the Fraser Valley championships, the 15-year-old Langley girl not only won the gold medal in the midget (U16) high jump at the Canadian Legion track and field championships, but she set a new personal best in the process. The Legion championships — which saw close to 1,000 of the top track and field athletes between the ages of 12 and 17 — ran from Aug. 9 to 11 at Langley’s McLeod Park. “I felt really confident going in to the competition,” Rolfe said. “But I did shock myself, to do as well as I did.” The high jump was held on Sunday, the final day, and Rolfe was representing her club, the Langley Mustangs. Rolfe, who enters Grade 10 at Walnut Grove Secondary next month, suffered the concussion during the Fraser Valley championships during the high school season. Rolfe hit her head on the high jump standard, the pole on either side of the mat which hold the bar in place. It knocked her out of the

competition and the following months can best be described as very trying. “It was more mild in that it didn’t restrict me from doing anything normal,” Rolfe said. “But when it came to training, I would feel the symptoms come on.” “It was very frustrating because I wanted to push through it and be able to train and get better but I was not able to, so that was definitely really hard.” Rolfe said what motivated her was the hope she would get better and be able to compete, as well as the support from those helping her, such as her physiotherapist, masseuse and chiropractor. Finally, just two days before the competition (Aug. 7) she was cleared to compete. And while she would not have minded getting the chance to travel to another part of the country for the competition — “I was a little disappointed” — the whole experience of the Legion championships was enjoyable. “It was really fun,” Rolfe said. “I wasn’t nervous at all; I was pretty calm through the entire competition.” She also soared to a new personal best, clearing 1.67m to capture the gold medal. Her previous best had been 1.60m. “I felt really confident going in to the competition but I did shock myself to do as well as I did,” Rolfe said.

Mission accomplished for Dean Ellenwood. Heading into the Canadian Legion track and field championships over the weekend, the 15-year-old from Langley was intent on finding the podium. “My goal was to medal in my events, but I really wanted to win the 800m,” he said. “That is my speciality event and there was some big competition and I wanted to prove that I could.”

And Ellenwood, who was representing the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club, delivered, winning the 800m race and adding a silver in the 300m. Ellenwood was competing in the midget (U16) division. He won gold on Sunday, the final day of the three-day championships which were held at Langley’s McLeod Park. The championships brought together close to 1,000 track and field athletes between the ages of 12 and 17. The event will again be held at McLeod Park in 2014. In his gold-medal victory, Ellenwood crossed the finish line

On Saturday, Ellenwood was second across the finish line in the 300m race with a time of 36.67 seconds. The gold medal went to Team Quebec’s William Gagnon while Colesen Faunt of Team Alberta/Northwest Territories took third. “I didn’t expect silver actually,” Ellenwood said. “I was ranked fifth going in (to the finals, after preliminaries)

and finished second with a big personal best.” Overall, Ellenwood said it was really fun competing at the Legion championships and an exciting experience. “It is a big meet and all the provinces are there, which makes it great,” he said. Ellenwood, who enters Grade 10 at Langley Secondary next month, won a pair of gold medals in the 400m and 800m races this past June in the Grade 8/9 division at the B.C. high school track and field championships, which were also held at McLeod Park.

Silver lining for Xtreme The Langley Xtreme U18B girls fastball team capped off their season with the silver medal at the provincial championships.

The Xtreme went 3-1 in the round robin part of the tournament, beating the Burnaby Oakeys 5-2, the Richmond Islanders 8-2 and the Duncan Dragons 4-1. The lone loss was a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Ridge Meadows Rage. The record was good enough to advance to the playoff round where Langley went 3-2 in the double knockout format, with both defeats at the hands of Burnaby, 7-5 and 11-9. Their wins were over the Richmond Islanders 7-2, the Peninsula Power 7-2 and 7-3

Langley’s Tori Belton threw a complete game, allowing just one run as Team B.C. won the gold medal in softball at the Canada Summer Games. B.C. defeated Team Manitoba 9-1 in the championship game on Friday (Aug. 9). The Games are being held Aug. 2 to 17 in Sherbrooke, Que. Belton allowed just one run over the five innings. The B.C. team featured two other Langley players in Kaitlyn Cameron and Jenine Walsh. Cameron had one RBI and one run scored in the championship final. Team B.C. had gone 6-3 in the preliminary round before catching fire in the playoff round. The squad went 3-0 — defeating all three teams that had beat them earlier – to win the gold medal. ••••• It was game, set and match after just one inning in the gold medal game in the baseball championship final on Friday at the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que. Pitcher Colton Wood threw

a one-hit complete game with 10 strikeouts as Team B.C. defeated Team Ontario 5-0 in the final. And the B.C. offence plated five runs in the bottom of the first inning, which was more than enough offence for Wood. The B.C. roster featured Langley’s Luke Horanski and Kristjan Storrie, as well as a handful of their U18 Langley Blaze teammates from this past season, Andre Pelletier, Mitchell Robinson, Justin Lawrence and Kyle Ross. The team went 6-1, including playoffs, at the tournament with an average margin of victory of 8.5 runs per game. ••••• A trio of Langley volleyball players — as well as their Langley coach — helped Team B.C. to capture the bronze medal at the Canada Summer Games. The Games are being held in Sherbrooke, Que. from Aug. 2 to 17. The British Columbians defeated Team Ontario 3-1 on Friday (Aug. 9). They won the first two sets 25-14 and 25-13.

Ontario stayed alive with a 25-19 win in the third set, but B.C. finished them off 25-23 for the bronze. “This was a fantastic finish to a great tourney,” said coach Ben Josephson, who is also the head coach of the Trinity Western Spartans men’s volleyball team. “The boys improved with every match throughout the event, which is all a coach can ask for. “A couple more plays or bounces and our medal colour could have been different, but it’s like that in all great tournaments.” Team B.C. had lost to Team Alberta the day before in the semifinals. The Albertans would win gold. “It was a great game this morning and our team is extremely pleased with the result,” said captain Nick Del Bianco, who is also from Langley and a member of the TWU team. “We responded very well from our loss last night and put together our best performance of the tournament to win the bronze medal. “It’s been a blessing playing with these guys and representing Team B.C.” The B.C. roster also featured Langley’s Tyler Heppell and Branden Schmidt.

The teams that will be competing this year are Manitoba’s South Central Selects and the North Winnipeg Pirates; Saskatchewan’s Saskatoon Braves and the Regina Buffalos; Alberta’s Okotoks Dawgs and Edmonton Cardinals; and from British Columbia — the

If you said yes to any of these questions, then you want to circle September 7th, 2013 on your calendar. This will be your opportunity to help to promote the area with the help of hundreds of other people and with the assistance and encouragement of the city council. We will host a show that day that will bring about four times as many visitors to the city as we have residents. That is the day to get out and both enjoy and promote your community to those visitors. The city will spend considerable effort and resources to assist a host of volunteers and sponsors as well as the businesses of the city to create a show that is second to none in size and value to your community. That event is the Langley Cruise-In. While many think of this as a car show (with solid reasoning behind their conclusion, I might add) businesses in Langley need to view it as a showcase of their community. There will be about 100,000 visitors to the city that day. The downtown core will be converted to pedestrian friendly for the day so people can walk the streets and have a first hand look at what we have to offer as a city. There will be buzz of excitement in the air, there will be eye-candy parked

along the streets to keep all ages of people agog, and there will be things to do and see on that day that will not be available to see for another year. Do your thing to get involved in promoting Langley and invite some extra people to come see what we have to offer that day. The future of our area requires growth, and the electricity will be in the air anyway, so don’t let the energy of the day go to waste. The volunteers who run the Langley Good Times Cruise-In are a wonderful bunch. They come out to meetings starting in December and carry on right through October with the wrap up. They give of their time and energy continually. Do you know any of these people? Is there anything that you can do that may assist them? Have you resources available that could help them to organize and pull off this car-show more easily or at a lower cost? As it is a charity fund raiser, we are always on the lookout for people and companies that are willing to contribute cash or valuable services that we would otherwise need to purchase. Our mandate is to find the most cost effective way of putting on a high quality show while raising the most money possible. If you have resources or cash available to contribute, please contact us at langley@langleycruise-in.com to let us know and we will contact you very soon.

I was sinking lots of putts today.” Kim, who graduated from Coquitlam’s Gleneagle Secondary, was a member of the Redwoods junior program. She still does some work with coach Brian Jung out of Redwoods. Last season, Kim was selected a first team all-Pac 12 and she is currently ranked 14th in the Golfweek college rankings. Aug 17-18

A par on the second playoff hole on Monday sent SooBin Kim to victory at the Safeway Amateur Open and earned her a spot alongside some of the world’s best golfers later this month. Kim, who enters her junior season with the University of Washington golf team, was competing in Portland, Ore. and her victory qualified her for the Safeway Classic Aug. 29 to Sept. 1 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club.

CAR CARE & REPAIR

Do not Neglect Auto Service The average age of a personal vehicle on the road today is more than 11 years, according to recent news reports. In tough economic times, it's natural to rein in spending. But the experts at the nonprofit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) warn that putting off routine auto maintenance or ignoring service intervals is false economy. Small issues can morph into more expensive repairs. For example, failure to replace worn brake pads or a faulty oxygen sensor -- both relatively easy services for qualified auto technicians -- can result in expensive brake rotor service or costly replacement of the vehicle's catalytic converter. Frequently neglected items include oil changes, tire and brake service, wheel alignment, air and fuel filters, and

transmission service, according to ASE-certified auto technicians. Besides, a well-maintained vehicle gets better gasoline mileage, pollutes less, is safer to operate, and lasts longer than one that's neglected, notes ASE. To help consumers choose a repair shop that fits their needs, ASE offers the following checklist: • Look for a neat, well-organized facility, with vehicles in the parking lot equal in value to your own and modern equipment in the service bays. • Look for a courteous staff, with a service consultant willing to answer all of your questions. • Look for policies regarding estimated repair costs, diagnostic fees, guarantees,

and acceptable methods of payment. • Ask if the repair facility specializes or if it usually handles your type of repair work. • Look for signs of professionalism in the customer service area, such as civic, community, or customer service awards. • Look for evidence of qualified technicians: trade school diplomas, certificates of advanced course work. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was founded in 1972 as a non-profit, independent organization dedicated to improving the quality of automotive service and repair through the voluntary testing and certification of automotive technicians.
