Teacher strike poised to roll into September
Ready For Her Close-Up
NO SIGN O F MOVEMEN T ON CUSP OF N EW SCH OO L YEAR JEFF NAGEL Black Press
B.C. students are just days away from the scheduled start of a new school year, but there’s no sign of a break in the teachers’ strike that has dragged on through the summer. The final week of summer holiday opened Sunday with a demand in Kamloops from B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker for an immediate start to mediation but no talks are scheduled. Teachers have also stepped up picketing of government MLA offices as both sides prepare for the strike to stretch into September. A mass rally outside the premier’s Vancouver cabinet offices is also set for Sept. 5. Veteran mediator Vince Ready
is monitoring the talks and has indicated he will step into full mediation if it would be productive to do so. Both sides blame the other for a gulf between positions that’s too wide for Ready to attempt to bridge. The province says the teachers’ pay and benefits demands remain far in excess of settlements reached with other public sector unions. Teachers, meanwhile, accuse the government of insisting on preconditions to talks that would unravel the union’s past court victories over the province on the stripping of contract terms on class size and special needs support.

The Langley City woman thought at first the stranger must be joking. But then Jefferson said it again, putting her in a bear hug from behind and pointing a knife to her stomach.

Two years for brazen Willowbrook robbery M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
One of eight men charged in a 2011 jewelry heist at Willowbrook Shopping Centre will go to jail for two years for the “outrageous” crime that played out like a bad “B movie,” said the sentencing judge last month. Christopher Reinke, 38, was sentenced to two years and two days, minus 30 days time served, for being part of the robbery at Golden Tree Jewellers on May 5, 2011. Called a “persistent criminal,” Reinke was also sentenced to 60 days for failing to appear in court by Supreme Court Judge J. Williams in New Westminster on July 28. The robbery took place at the noon hour when eight men vaulted jewelry cases and bear sprayed employees and bystanders while taking items. They fired gun shots on their way out of the mall. Several people were treated for eye irritation, including a toddler. A security guard was sprayed directly in the face. Six men were arrested in Coquitlam an
hour after the hold-up and two in Vancouver later that day. “If I were to sentence Mr. Reinke today to five or six years for this robbery, I do not believe that sentence would be characterizable as unfit, excessive or unduly harsh. “The conduct at bar is, frankly, distressing in the extreme. It is outrageous,” said Justice Williams. “For this gang of men to sweep into a mall frequented by ordinary citizens of the community and carry out a robbery that sounds like something out a B movie is inexcusable.” The court learned Reinke is a heroin and cocaine addict, has no significant vocational skills, and has a record dating back to 1990 as a youth. He has spent a substantial amount of time in custody and it hasn’t been effective in deterrence. The judge told Reinke it was his lucky day because Crown wasn’t asking for much jail time. Crown counsel submitted that an appropriate sentence was in the order of 30 months.

Father, daughter show off customized toy car at Cruise-In FR ANK BUCHOLTZ Tim es Reporter

Ryan Patterson makes an adjustment to his daughter Elynor’s battery-powered jeep. The Langley City father has spent hundreds of hours customizing the toy car, including adding a touch screen on the dashboard. He and Elynor, who turns five this year, will show it off at the Langley Good Times Cruise-In.
Ryan Patterson and his daughter Elynor are bringing this year’s Langley Good Times Cruise-In to a new level. They will be showing off fiveyear-old Elynor’s customized toy jeep at the show. The smaller version of the ever-popular Jeep runs on electric power. While many children have such toys to ride in driveways, Elynor’s is unique. Since her dad bought it secondhand a couple of years ago for about $20, he has torn it down and completely changed the electrical system, adding custom features that are more commonly seen in expensive cars — such as a touchscreen video player on the dashboard. He changed the wiring to 24 volts, which allowed more accessories to be added. He has put hundreds of hours into the project. But it wasn’t just his project. It was something that father and daughter could work on together — a recurring theme at Cruise-In, where many of the
vehicles on display are labours of love which have been worked on by various family members. “It’s a project we did together,” said the proud Langley City father. “We did a full-blown custom paint job, a stereo and a touch screen. All the controls work off the steering wheel.” He says his daughter has helped “as much as possible.” She has done some sanding and clipped wires. And it has kept her interested, despite all the hours of work. She is very proud of her special vehicle — as proud as any of the adults showing off their vehicles at Cruise-In next weekend will be. Patterson contacted Langley Good Times Cruise-In president Eric Taylor to see if it would be possible to show off the toy vehicle at the Cruise-In, and Taylor was excited about the idea. He realized that, in his own way, Patterson has worked on customizing his daughter’s toy vehicle with the same passion and enthusiasm as do many of the car owners who show off their prized

creations at the show. “This particular thing supports my belief that we need to get kids involved in the car shows, otherwise car shows will continue to diminish over the years as those of the age that appreciate vintage cars also fade away,” said Taylor. He said other owners of customized toy cars interested in taking part can contact him at langley@langleycruise-in.com. Taylor hopes that Patterson’s idea can be built on by Cruise-In organizers, and that there will be a “Kids Car Corral” at future shows. The Pattersons will have their customized toy on display at the Cruise-In, which takes place on Saturday, Sept. 6 on the streets of Langley City. Most of the final organizing touches have been made and the organizing committee is hoping for great weather, as has so often been ther case. The Times is publishing a guide to Cruise-In with full details about what to see at this year’s show. It will appear as an insert in Tuesday’s edition of The Times.

A struggle ensued and she managed to move away so he only nicked her stomach, but the stab wound left a scar. “The scar is a constant reminder of what happened to me,” said the woman in her victim impact statement. It was read by Crown counsel at Jefferson’s sentencing hearing in Surrey Provincial Court on Tuesday. The court heard that the victim dropped her keys and Jefferson let her go, picked them up and took off in her car. By then, a resident in her apartment building on 200 Street had called 911. Police were quickly on Jefferson’s tail. Within 10 minutes, he was under arrest. At that time, the young Alberta man remarked that he was: “F#cked and I’m going away for awhile.” Going away for a long time is the recommendation of the Crown counsel, which is seeking long-term offender status for Jefferson. He has already spent six years in federal prison for violently raping three women in Calgary. Jefferson, 28, with his brown hair cropped short, dressed in a red jumpsuit, sat intently listening in the prisoner’s box, while Crown asked for four to five years jail for the carjacking. He pleaded guilty to robbery in that case. He has been in jail since his arrest last June. Within his sentencing request, Crown prosecutor Chrichton Pike is also asking that Jefferson be deemed a long-term offender and have to serve an additional 10 years in the community under strict supervision. At 10 years, Crown is asking the longest alloted time under Canadian law. For Crown to seek such status the offender must pose a substantial risk to reoffend and be a risk to the community. Pike told the judge that Jeffer-
son fits these requirements, including the fact that he was on probation on the time of the carjacking and that he has refused all programs offered to help him, including sex offender programs and violence prevention while in and out of prison. The Langley victim said in her statement that she suffers from anxiety and paranoia, avoids crowds and never walks by herself. She has had a hard time working and trusting and has recently sought counselling. THE MAN DUBBED THE FALCONRIDGE RAPIST In 2006, a Calgary neighbourhood was terrorized after three women were attacked and raped at knifepoint. No one knew who was doing this. Baby-faced Andrew Jefferson, 22 at the time, was arrested and convicted of raping two women at knifepoint, one of them repeatedly, and assaulting the other. Dubbed the Falconridge rapist, he served six years for those crimes. At sentencing, he apologized and promised he would make a change for the better. While in prison, he had several in-house convictions for intimidating prisoners and aggressive behaviour. When released from federal prison in 2011, he was deemed an “untreated high-risk sex offender.” He chose not to take part in any therapy. Jefferson relocated to Surrey, to the outrage of Mayor Dianne Watts. Some young women started a Facebook page warning about Jefferson, who they claimed was going on dating websites to pick up women. His parole officer, Elena Henricksson, took the stand on Tuesday, testifying that she referred Jefferson to several therapy programs for sex offenders, violence prevention and substance abuse. He refused all of them.
She also referred him to two psychiatrists. He never made it to the appointments. In the one-on-one meetings she had with him, he would often swear at her and get aggressive, angry because he wanted to get into relationships with women but was prevented from doing so because of his release conditions which included disclosing his criminal history to women. “In the beginning, he would basically throw a tantrum every time he didn’t get his way,” she said. His one meeting with a psychiatrist landed him back in jail for being aggressive, a breach of his conditions. The court learned that Jefferson’s drugs of choice were crystal meth and pot. He complained to Henricksson that the housing they had found for him were nothing more than drug houses, full of dealers. After less than a year living in Surrey, he was accused of rape again, this time of a teenager he met online. However, Jefferson was found not guilty of sexually assaulting and choking the teen in Surrey in 2012. Jefferson’s trial on the Surrey rape charges took place in April in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. On April 16, the 12-member jury delivered its not guilty verdict. During the trial, the alleged victim told the court she had met Jefferson on the online dating site Plenty of Fish in late 2012, when she was 17. She is now 19. Her identity is shielded by a publication ban. The jury in the Surrey case was not privy to details of Jefferson’s past convictions or current charges. The sentencing continued Wednesday, with Crown presenting Jefferson’s court ordered psychiatric report. Defense was expected to respond on Wednesday afternoon.

Township planning day camps Back to school may be delayed due to the ongoing teachers’ strike this September, but the Township of Langley has a number of ways to keep kids engaged and active. A series of day camps that will help elementary school students stay busy and have fun is being offered by the Township’s Recreation, Culture, and Parks Division.

kids aged five to 12 will run Tuesday, Sept. 2 to Friday, Sept. 5, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Willoughby Community Centre and Walnut Grove Community Centre. Cost is $28.75 per day.

Police seek fraudster who wrote $20,000 in cheques A fraudster got away with nearly $20,000 cash using a Langley man’s misplaced cheque book. Langley RCMP have released a surveillance photo of the man in question and are hoping someone can provide information leading to his arrest. On June 3, Langley RCMP received a report of a fraud that had taken place between April 25 and May 30. It would appear that a cheque book belonging to the victim fell into the wrong hands and the suspect
used the cheques to withdraw nearly $20,000 from the victim’s line of credit. It wasn’t until the account holder was contacted by the bank to advise that his line of credit account had entered into overdraft that he realized what had happened. Police have ob-

Lump sum payments to parents won’t come until end of strike From Page 1
TIMBITS SOCCER
200,000 PLAYERS ONE REALLY FUN GAME BRODY AGE 6
The province is appealing the latest court ruling against it. Also gaining prominence in recent days has been an opt-out clause that the government has tabled that would allow either side to terminate a new collective agreement if it dislikes the ultimate court outcome from either the B.C. Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada. An education ministry spokesman said he was surprised it has become an issue now. It was disclosed in mid-June by government negotiators who pitched it as a “pragmatic and creative” way to give the union comfort it wouldn’t be handed a massive defeat in court and could therefore shelve those issues and negotiate an inter-
im agreement while the appeal proceeds. But a BCTF spokesman said it’s the province not teachers who want an escape hatch, adding it suggests the government fears it will lose in court again and is seeking to block that outcome. He credited BCTF members on Twitter for bringing the clause into public focus. The Liberal government has promised to pay parents $40 a day for each child under 13 who misses school if the strike continues. Various organizations and businesses are scaling up their day camp and other supervised care offerings for September in anticipation of a continued school shutdown. Several such camps are planned in Langley. The province also promised
Tuesday to cover supported child development costs for inschool hours for special needs children now accessing services. Education Minister Peter Fassbender on Monday reiterated the government’s position that it has no desire to legislate the teachers back to work. Fassbender, Iker and chief government negotiator Peter Cameron had a face-to-face meeting on Wednesday. The lump sum payouts to parents following the end of the strike will consume all of the $12 million a day in strike savings the government would have amassed going forward. Parents can sign up for the payments at bcparentinfo.ca, a government-created website that seeks to prepare parents for an ongoing strike this fall.

Legacy of Terry Fox lives on in Langley with 34th annual run “I’m going to do my very best. I’ll fight. I promise I won’t give up.” — words spoken by a true Canadian hero. Terry Fox had a single dream — a world without cancer. He sought to reach out to every corner of Canada, and beyond, when he embarked on his Marathon of Hope. On one leg, Terry Fox ran the equivalent of a marathon a day for 143 days straight, to raise awareness for the need for research funding. When his own cancer spread he was forced to stop running, but his dream to find a cure for cancer lives on. This year marks the 34th annual Terry Fox Run and after organizing the Terry Fox Run in Langley City for five years, Lilianne Fuller is excited to pass the torch to co-chair, Rick Barnett. Fuller is confident in handing over this role. “I knew this would be one of the last years I would chair this run and I really wanted to leave it in good hands,” she said. “Rick is a busy person but he always makes time for the community. I admire that. I was really pleased when he said he would not only co-chair the event but he was prepared to take it over completely in 2015.” Barnett is a local business-

Question langeytimes.com
The provincial government announced its latest tax hike on Tuesday. As has been the case in recent years, it did so indirectly. In fact, the announcement was made by the Insurance Corporation of B.C., which plans to raise its basic rates, which all motorists must pay, by 5. 2 per cent. The province is expecting to get $480 million in dividends from ICBC in the three years from 2014 to 2017, and another $1.23 billion from BC Hydro. Both of these massive dividend payments are on the back of ratepayers — those who have no choice but to buy electricity from BC Hydro and basic auto insurance from ICBC. This is being done so the government can balance its budget and claim to be a good fiscal manager. Meanwhile, the rate increases planned by both corporations are far beyond inflation, and are disguised as being necessary “because of more claims due to distracted driving” (ICBC) and “by the need for capital expenditures.” (BC Hydro). No one doubts that there is a need for BB Hydro to upgrade its power network, or for ICBC to have enough money to pay for increased claims, whatever the cause. However, claims of balanced budgets by the BC Liberals really need to be dissected. The government is not running a surplus from its dayto-day operations. It would be in a constant deficit if it weren’t for these dividends from Crown corporations. Both of these corporations were set up to provide benefits to B.C. residents. BC Hydro was set up by the Social Credit government in 1961 and ICBC was set up by the NDP government in 1973. Neither was set up to be an ongoing cash cow for the government. The province does get additional revenue from the B.C. Lottery Corporation and the Liquor Distribution Branch, but there is a key difference. No one has to buy a lottery ticket or go to a casino. Nor do they have to buy liquor. Those are choices people make. They are free to choose not to use the services of those organizations. This latest disguised tax increase is unacceptable.

Go ahead, take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. You’ll be cool if you do it, in more ways than one. Most of us, by now, have seen our Facebook friends or celebrities participating in what has been a wildly successful fundraiser for ALS societies around the world. The concept is simple and fun — douse yourself with a bucket of ice water, make a donation to your local ALS society, and challenge three others to do the same. The ice bucket challenge has been exactly the right kind of fundraiser for the summer of 2014. In modern times, many of us are goofing off for the sake of a YouTube clip anyway, so we might as well do it for a good cause. The ALS Society of Canada was reporting last week that including its provincial affiliates, the ice bucket challenge had raised some $800,000 and counting. This summer’s donations are a hundred-fold beyond anything the society has ever seen. A lot of people have had some laughs dumping ice water on their head, but for most, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge isn’t just a thoughtless stunt. Facebook friends are reportedly ‘policing’ the fundraiser — those who fail to mention ALS in their videos or demonstrate some awareness of the cause are criticized. We at The News Bulletin are heartened to see ALS receiving so much attention and support. Earlier this year, we published a series of articles on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease that destroys the motor neurons that send electric impulses between the muscles and brain. Staff members were inspired at that time to organize fundraising initiatives for ALS, and now we’ve accepted the ice bucket challenge. Check our Facebook page to see how it turns out. There is no cure for ALS, but researchers right here in B.C., at the University of British Columbia, could be close to a breakthrough. And our silly stunts could make a difference. It takes a bucket of ice water, a cheque, good intentions and hope. — Nanaimo News Bulletin

Judge must be taken to task isting laws and give out sentences which are appropriate to the crime. It is not their job to create laws, legislation does that. The judge in this case is remiss in his or her obligation to the public. His or her duties are clear — administer the proscribed punishment, as laid out by law.
In any other profession, dereliction of duty would lead to dismissal. That would be appropriate in this case. Judges are not above the law, nor can they go outside of their employment contract. TERRY BRENAN, ALDERGROVE

Police — to serve and to barbecue? Editor: To serve and to barbecue? As part of my commute home every day, I have to drive north on 248 Street from 16 Avenue to 64 Avenue, where I turn off. It always takes 10 minutes or so — until yesterday (Wednesday, Aug. 20). On that day, it took over 45 minutes. I carpool with my husband and it was like any other day until we got past Fraser Highway, and then the traffic slowed, and then stopped. We waited and waited. Very little traffic was getting through in either direction, because there was no one directing traffic. We thought it must be an accident.
As we inched closer and closer towards Krause Berry Farms, we could see numerous police cars. As we sat, more and more police cars with two officers in each went by, with their lights flashing. We thought it must be a shooting or something like that. After over 40 minutes of waiting, I walked up past about 15 cars and asked the officer what was going on. Imagine my shock when he advised me that it was a government barbecue, and that is why we have to wait. All the cars in front were waiting to pull into Krause for the event. I’m not opposed to anyone having a
barbecue. I’ve had a few myself, but if any other group or company held such an event, it would be required to have a professional traffic management service. If it caused this kind of congestion, the company would be fined. Other than wasting over 45 minutes of my time, it is a safety concern. There were people pulling over, getting out of their cars and doing U-turns in the middle of the street. We almost witnessed an accident — all in the name of a burger. I hope it was good. S. ATCHISON, LANGLEY
The government has its limitations Editor: The letter by Langley teacher Paul Milette in The Times (Aug. 26) seems to me to be illogical. He questions why the government is paying to fight forest fires that don’t endanger people, suggesting it is therefore wasting taxpayers’ money. He also criticizes government for spending money to
minimize the danger of the tailings pond spill in the Cariboo and derides the government for lack of weed control on school properties here. Where does Milette think the government gets its money from? It is from the taxpayers, of course, who certainly want the teachers to be fairly paid.

Working together for CUPE 403
Building Our Community Every Day Labour Day is an important time to remember the struggles and achievements of workers. CUPE LOCAL 403’s members work for the Township of Langley in a variety of capacities at many different municipal facilities. Most of them also live and raise their families in this community. They utilize the very services that they work hard to provide for the residents. Some of the initiatives that CUPE 403 proudly supports are: the Langley Food Bank, the wreath programs of the Langley and Aldergrove Legions, the Summer Family Activity Guide (co-sponsored by United Way), the Lifeguard Competition at Walnut Grove Community Centre, and the upcoming BC Seniors Games. On behalf of our 700+ members, CUPE 403 wishes everyone a happy and safe Labour Day weekend!
This spring, I had the honour of being elected to lead BC’s most diverse union. The over 67,000 women and men of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) work in all areas of the province, in a wide variety of roles, making a real difference in their communities. From childcare to child protection; preventative health care to palliative care; social work to corrections; and so much more - what our members share is a dedication to working together for the benefit of all British Columbians. As the union that represents these remarkable workers, we owe it to them to not only protect the vital public services they provide, but to continuously work for positive social change. BCGEU members want to belong to a movement that can make progressive new policies that BC needs, such as $10 a day childcare, a reality. That’s why this Labour Day - my first as BCGEU president – as we celebrate the hard-fought gains the union movement has made for BC and Canada, I’d like to also look forward and talk about what we still have left to do. Our province and country are faced with growing income inequality - including a gender
wage gap of 26 per cent that is frankly, embarrassing. Our young people have the distinction of being the first generation that will be worse off economically than the one that came before. But the labour movement is in a unique position to change all of that. Hundreds of British Columbians lift themselves out of poverty each year by joining the BCGEU or other unions to achieve collective bargaining rights at their workplace. The wage increases they gain by working together go right back into their local economies invigorating communities across the province. The increased tax revenues provide funding for the public services that we all rely on. Just think of the exciting things we could do if we all worked

all British Columbians together to ensure that everyone, in all regions of the provinces - regardless of race, gender or socioeconomic status - had access to a job where they were paid a living wage and treated with respect. This is what the labour movement has to offer British Columbians: strong, united and dynamic communities full of people who care for one another. When we all band together to demand that vital services be publicly available to everyone - not just those who can afford them
- we’ll have a whole new set of victories to celebrate each year at the end of August. Stephanie Smith BCGEU President Stephanie Smith was elected president of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) by delegates at the union’s tri-annual convention in May 2014. Stemming from the Community Social Services sector, Stephanie had a long history of leadership and activism within the BCGEU before serving three years as the union’s Treasurer (2011-14). She is the first woman elected president of the BCGEU.

Ruts show up in road to farmland changes The month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment. I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by in-
vitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public. I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was travelling around B.C. with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the findings should
be made public in September as the government considers new regulations. The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on

He’s also products to be not counting sold from farms. how many emails were stacked up by proponents or critics. “I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to do is come up with the best balance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions, and also won’t talk about them directly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms. The government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, including subdivision
views
before Profit
for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more. “I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.” She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses. “You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that attached to somebody’s residence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.” She noted that nonfarm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business.
A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food processing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications. Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial. Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the BC Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor laws, I expect that change to go through. tfletcher@ blackpress.ca

The Internet becoming more important for home buyers By Kerry Vital
For many new home buyers in the Lower Mainland, utilizing the Internet has never been more important. It’s now possible to conduct hours of research and ensure you know exactly what you’re looking for and can afford before purchasing, as well as which features of your new home will fit your lifestyle and allow the home to keep its value down the road.
“The extensive online research conducted by homebuyers is highly evident,” says Intergulf Development Group Vice President Shaadi Faris. “Buyers are coming to us with knowledge of how the purchase process works, and having their priorities firmly established.” Faris has seen this play out at Intergulf ’s Burnaby condominium project The Park Metrotown, where potential buyers have been coming into the presentation centre and

asking questions that used to only be asked by investors and real estate professionals. “They are aware of market trends, know what specific features and dimensions they are looking for, and have firm figures in mind,” says Faris. “Our marketing efforts now speak to strata fees and unit prices in dollars per square foot, and point out all the features that will impact the buyer’s investment, including the location of the parking stalls and storage lockers.” While the younger buyer is leading the way regarding the use of digital media, Faris points out that there are buyers of all ages using technology to research their potential home. Google recently teamed up with the U.S.-based National Association of Realtors to conduct a study looking at how important digital media was to home buyers. The study found that 90 per cent of homebuyers search online before and during the buying process.

Polygon is bringing Seaside architecture to North Delta with Lakeside, its executive townhome project in the master-planned community of Sunstone. Homeowners also benefit from membership to the Sunstone Club, below right, with over 12,000 square feet of amenities including an outdoor pool.
Living Lakeside at Sunstone By Kerry Vital
Waterfront living is possible in North Delta at Polygon’s Lakeside, an enclave of executivestyle townhomes in the master-planned community of Sunstone. “These townhomes feel like single-family homes,” says sales manager Pat Lok. “At 25 to 35 feet wide, they’re wider than a typical Vancouver lot!” With a variety of three-bedroom two-
level plans, most 2,000 square feet or larger, Lakeside is appealing to families and emptynesters alike. This is the final collection of the master-on-main homes being built at Sunstone, making it even more appealing. “These are beautiful homes, and there are less than 20 remaining,” Lok says, “with a limited number of each plan type left, it’s a great time to visit us.” 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 plenty of time outdoors on their private decks or patios, which feature gas hookups for your barbecue. In addition, each home has a private fenced yard. Every home has a double-
car side-by-side garage, which Lok points out has been a selling feature at Lakeside. Inside, some plan types feature dramatic vaulted ceilings along with warm laminate wood flooring throughout the main level living areas. Radiant in-floor heating is

featured throughout the main level, adding to the warm and cozy feeling of the entire home. The kitchen is elegant and efficient, with custom-designed naturally stained quarter oak flat-panel or white painted shaker cabinetry, engineered stone countertops and a marble backsplash. A kitchen island adds to the convenience, and select homes include a spacious walk-in pantry. Stainlesssteel appliances and under-cabinet lighting, contemporary halogen track lighting and task lighting round out the beautiful space. The luxurious master ensuite features an oversized soaker tub and a separate shower with glass enclosure and marble tile accents, complemented by marble countertops and a large vanity mirror. The main bathroom holds a bathtub with ceramic tile surround and marble countertops. “People love the little luxuries here,” says Lok. Homeowners at Sunstone have access to the private Sunstone Club, a 12,000-square-foot amenities building that includes an outdoor pool, gym, fireside lounge with a billiards table and much more. Sunstone Lake is right beside Lakeside, along with a playground, amphitheatre and several trails for walking or cycling. When you venture off the property, you’ll find schools, shopping, dining and recreation all nearby, including the Sungod Recreation Centre, Watershed Park and the Delta Nature Reserve.

On Dulux® Kitchen & Bath and FloodPro® Series Supreme Performance
Look Beyond the Numbers in Ongoing Education Dispute An open letter from BCSTA President Teresa Rezansoff With September 2 just around the corner, the bargaining impasse between the provincial government and the BC Teachers’ Federation hinges on numbers – numbers about wages, beneÀts and class size. But behind those numbers are over half a million students who are waiting anxiously to start their school year on time. Whether it is their very Àrst day in kindergarten or the beginning of their last year as a high school student, they are the reason any of those other numbers matter. School trustees across BC want our schools open and ready for students on September 2.

The two parties are approximately a percentage point apart on salary and one year apart on the proposed term of the contract – items that could be resolved through mediation. However, the proposed increases to beneÀts, the workload fund and the $5000 signing bonus request makes the full package well outside the affordability range. BC’s public education system ranks among the very best in the world, due in large part to our talented and dedicated teachers. Trustees believe that teachers deserve a fair wage increase, but the BCTF’s overall compensation proposal needs to be aligned with other BC public sector agreements.
We have called on the government to immediately put strike savings back into schools to help address concerns regarding class size and composition. We have told the Ministers of Education and Finance that the money for the proposed $40-a-day subsidy for parents would be better spent on students in schools. We continue our advocacy for improved education funding, and our trustee representatives at the bargaining table are calling for maintaining Áexibility on class size and composition to improve the learning settings for students.
LOWEST PRICES GUARANTEED!
The issues are complex. This is not just about money. Ultimately, we need an agreement that meets the needs of students and provides long-term stability for public education. A deal can be reached. Students can be back in school on September 2. The government and the BCTF must move on the numbers and put students Àrst. Teresa Rezansoff, President BC School Trustees Association

Langley Minor Football president Wayne McMurchy gets doused during the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Members of the association took part in the challenge over the weekend as part of their annual Golden Helmet Football tournament, raising more than $1,000.
Kraemer’s gem helps Blaze win gold Last season, Shane Kraemer was forced to watch from the sidelines — he had pitched the previous game — as his team came up one game short, falling in the Canadian senior men’s baseball national championship final. But given the ball in Sunday’s gold medal game against Ontario’s Tecumseh Thunder, the 22-year-old left-hander was money in the bank for Langley. Kraemer allowed just a pair of singles and two walks over seven innings in a 3-0 Blaze victory. Even more impressive than the fact he allowed just four base runners was how Kraemer used a devastating pickoff move to nail three of them out at first base. “Never at this level, in this much of a pressure cooker,” he admitted on Tuesday afternoon after the team returned from St. John’s, Nfld., site of the 2014 championships. The tournament ran Aug. 21 to 24. “This was definitely a memorable one.” Kraemer struck out 13 batters in the final while the offence came from an RBI single in the second inning — Jesse Peters driving in Bob Foerster — and then a pair of insurance runs in the top of the fifth as

“It was a fun ride this year,” Kraemer said, deflecting credit for his success to his team. “There are a lot of really smart people on my team that I was able to glean a lot of information from that helped me a lot.” A big part of his success, both at nationals and over the summer, was Howell, his primary catcher. “He calls pitches without a lot of fear (and) he likes to challenge hitters. “It is nice to have someone believe in your stuff like that.” This was Kraemer’s second year on the Senior Blaze, a team made up of college and university players from around the Lower Mainland who are home for the summer. Prior to that, the Chilliwack man — who played in the B.C. Premier Baseball League with the Abbotsford Cardinals — spent the past four seasons at South Dakota State. With school now done, he is waiting on any opportunities to pitch at the professional level. “If I get that opportunity, I will jump at it,” he said.

Minor lacrosse Annual Thoroughbred Yearling benefits from 50/50 draws and Mixed Sale in Langley The Langley Minor Box and Field Lacrosse associations have a little more money to operate this season thanks to 50/50 draws. The association will receive $9,476, which was raised at the six games of the Minto Cup championships held at the Langley Events Centre last week. The Canadian junior A championship ran Aug. 16 to 23 with Ontario champion Six Nations Arrows defeating B.C. champion Coquitlam Adanacs four games to two. “We’re honoured and privileged that the Langley Events Centre thought enough of us to include us,” said Langley Minor Lacrosse Box president Brock Rose. “I can’t speak enough of the people that made the event possible and we were fortunate enough to be a part of it.” In total, 9,516 people came through the doors of the LEC over the course of the week. That works out to an average of 1,586 fans per game. An additional 1,787 watched the action online during the series, which is nearly 300 fans per game.
New Labour Day tourney kicks off After a two-year hiatus, soccer will once again be a staple of the Labour Day long weekend in Langley as the inaugural Langley FC Labour Day tournament kicks off. The tournament will run Saturday to Monday (Aug. 30 to Sept. 1) at Willoughby Community Park and features boys and girls teams in the U11 to U16 levels. The action runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. all three days. Weeks before the 2012 Langley Labour Day Michael J. Smith Soccer Tournament was set to run, organizers were forced to cancel the annual event because of low registration numbers. It had run for 13 consecutive years and featured 61 boys and girls teams in 2011. At its peak, the tournament drew around 240 teams.
Kasper back with U16 ’Caps squad Langley’s John Kasper will be back for another stint with the Vancouver Whitecaps U16 Residency roster for the upcoming United States Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) season. Kasper is a defender who previously played for Surrey United in the B.C. High Performance League. Prior to that, he played with the Langley United soccer program. The Whitecaps kick off their fourth USSDA regular season on Sept. 13.
••• Langley Thunder defender Brett Mydske has been named to the Western Lacrosse Association allstar team. Mydske won the Gord Nicholson Trophy as the WLA’s top defender in both 2012 and 213. He was also the league’s unsung hero award winner in 2011. The Thunder went 7-11 in 2014 and missed the post-season. Mydske was the lone player from a non-playoff team to make the six-player all-star team.

Double the fun as rider wins twice at Thunderbird Flexible (owned by Harry and Mollie Chapman) in a time of 38.56. Langley’s Andrea Strain, on the horse she owns, Djakarta, was 11th at 45.04. International designer Peter Holmes set some challenging tracks through the two rounds for the 40 riders, with a dozen advancing to the jump off round. Hutchison’s victory was her second of the weekend as she also took top spot on Friday at the Dianne Tidball Legacy Grand Prix. She was aboard Sig Excel (owned by Sig International Inc.) and beat out more than 65 other riders. Hutchison finished with a time of 44.79 while another American rider, Lauren Crooks, aboard Dancer (Crooks Show Jumping, LLC) was second. A pair of Canadians took third and fourth
Golfer grabs pair of top five finishes It was a busy week for Andy Kim as the Langley golfer competed in a pair of tournaments, finishing tied for third in one and placing fifth in the other. The 14-year-old also won the Mr. Lube long drive competition in the first event. Kim was one of two local golfers who finished in third spot in their respective divisions at the first event, while another pair cracked the top 10. The four were competing at the Maple Leaf Junior (MJT) Golf Tour’s two-day stop at Hazelmere Golf Course in Surrey on Aug. 18 and 19. Kim shot rounds of 73 and 81 to finish with a 154 in the bantam boys division. Vancouver’s Raymond Li won with a 144. Jessica Wu, 14, also finished third in the girls division. She shot rounds of 74 and 81 to finish at 155. Vancouver’s Tiffany Kong took top spot with a 143. In the juvenile boys division, Daniel Hyun, 15, shot 74-82 to finish in ninth spot at 156. Surrey’s Taylor Patrick was first with a 144. And Trevor Whiton, 18, had rounds of 75 and 79 for a 36-round score of 154. That placed him ninth in the junior boys division. This was the most competitive of the divisions as Dewdney’s Jake Scarrow shot a 145 and then won a three-person playoff which consisted of an extra four holes. Later in the week, Kim took part in the B.C. Golf Association’s bantam boys championships, which was held at the Meadowlands Golf and Country Club on Aug. 21 and 22. Kim shot 70 and 72 to finish with a 2-over-par 142. Vancouver’s Andrew Spalti won with a 138. Another Langley golfer, Jess Lee shot a pair of 73s to finish at 146, which was good for tenth spot.
spot with Lisa Carlsen on World’s Judgement (owned by Alycia and Terry Hayes) placing third. Langley’s Laura-Jane Tidball was fourth. She rode Liam, who is owned by Thunderbird Show Stables. For Tidball, the fourth-place spot in her late grandmother’s grand prix was the perfect way to honour her memory. “Thank you for always believing in me
and for teaching us to live up to your legacy,” she said in a note read aloud during the competition. Hutchison echoed the sentiment. “The Tidball family makes Thunderbird special,” she said. “I’ve known them for years and there’s a place in my heart for Dianne and George. We all miss them.” Both George and Dianne passed away earlier this year.

Just a few tenths of a second separated first place from third place, but when the dust had settled, it was California’s Susan Hutchison atop the podium. The American finished in top spot in the inaugural $55,000 CSI** Bryan Anderson Memorial Grand Prix on Sunday. The event was part of the Summer Fort Festival at Thunderbird Show Park, which ran through the weekend. “That’s not even a breath,” laughed Hutchison about the separation between first and third place. She was aboard her horse Ziedento, who is owned by St. Bride’s Farm. And the duo finished with a time of 38.02, a fraction better than Jack Hardin Towell and Man in Black (owned by Jennifer Gates) who came in at 38.32. Third spot went to Rich Fellers aboard

2 years or 40,000 km on all required scheduled maintenance, as per the vehicle's Owner's Guide.
For as long as Alexandra Straub recalls, she has loved cars. She can even remember thinking at the age of six, “Only ten more years until I can get my licence!” Born in Zurich, Switzerland to Hungarian parents, she moved to Canada when she was just a baby. Spending her summers in Budapest with her grandparents helped cultivate a strong liking for motorsports. Alexandra can remember watching F1 races with her grandfather, and still does even when she goes to visit. Over a decade ago, Alexandra started her career in the automotive industry. Since then, she has had countless stories and photos published. You can find her work online, in newspapers, magazines and on television. She has hosted “Shifting Gears Automotive TV” and regularly makes appearances on various shows talking about, you guessed it, all things automotive. When she’s not testing out the latest in vehicular goodness, you’ll either find her on a motorcycle (she tests and writes about those, too), on a track or traveling the world. While she considers her “job” her hobby, Alexandra enjoys other activities that don’t necessarily involve wheels, engines or motors. Growing up on the North Shore of Vancouver, she loves the mountains and the ocean. An avid snowboarder and a wannabe surfer, count on her enjoying the outdoors when she has the chance. And to really help her relax, she scrapbooks. Share your thoughts and requests with Alexandra at alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

To say the drive from Vancouver to Calgary offers scenic vistas galore would be an understatement. And the opportunity to drive it in the all-new 2015 Volkswagen GTI made it still more irresistible an opportunity. Time constraints allowed only for the most direct route there; taking the Trans-Canada, the 3, the 5 and then again onto the Highway 1. Appreciating the incredible topographical features the Trans Canada has to offer is something I don’t always do.

that has more than 200 rooms reflects effortlessly on the lake in front of it. With the mountains towering over, the heritage ghost town certainly has some, er, charm. However, the strongest charm in the drive comes from the GTI. You could even say it’s the grandfather, or the inspiration for the term “hot hatch.” It’s not only hot in appearance, but in personality. It’s a car that does everything and does it well. It’s quiet at highway speeds. It’s tame in traffic, but inspiring on the twisty roads. And even on the track. It can also be entertaining. With the promise of wildlife “for the next 3 km,” my driving partner and I eagerly anticipated the sighting of some sort of horned mammal. A mountain goat would do. We’d even be okay with a bear.
But alas, no such luck. Not even with a jaunt through Banff National Park. That’s okay, the premium Fender audio system did a good job of distracting our melancholy thoughts from the lack of wildlife sightings to the musical stylings of rock and roll. As I slipped out of the plaid-clad seats, bid adieu to the shifter whose knob is likened to golf ball – how appropriate – and gave back the keys to the GTI, it was bittersweet. The adventure was fun, the surroundings breathtaking, and then mixing it with a car that has the complete package? Now that’s a road trip to remember.

PHIPPS, Patrick Elton May 17, 1949 - Aug 18, 2014 Our beloved Pat passed away peacefully at home surrounded by love after a brave battle with cancer. He is survived by a large loving family and countless friends who will miss him dearly.

You leave us all smarter because of your wisdom, smiling because of your humor and our hearts fuller because of your unconditional love. A casual Celebration of Life will be held on from 1-4pm on Saturday, September 6th at 5 Star Catering, 5640 188 St., Surrey, B.C.

OBITUARIES
MUIR, SUSANNA AUGUST 30, 1958 TO AUGUST 11, 2014 NAEF, Louise After a long and interesting life, Louise passed away on August 15, 2014 at the age of 94. Born in Germany June 23, 1920 she survived the Second World War in Cologne with her young son, Carl and after the war ended had her daughter Elga. To better their lives the family immigrated to Canada in 1952 and lived in Toronto until moving to Langley in the late 1970’s. Louise was a strong willed, sometimes stubborn, always independent woman that lived her life on her own terms. She loved the flowers in her garden, expensive hand soap, listening to opera on CBC and laughing along to Stuart MacLean telling his stories. She was predeceased by her husband, Hans, in 2005. She is survived by her sister Gisela Matussek in Cologne, Germany,
her son Carl (Colleen), daughter Elga Tweed and grandson Barry McGrath. Known by many for the smile on her face she will be missed by all that knew her. A Celebration of Life will be held September 20, 2014 at 2PM at Avalon Gardens, 22323 - 48th Avenue, Langley in the Activities Room on the 2nd floor. Louise had a soft spot for animals and specifically Critter Care in Langley so in lieu of flowers, donations to Critter Care (crittercarewildlife. org) or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
It is with a profound sense of sadness that we announce the passing of Susanna Muir. She is lovingly cherished by her husband Gavin and son David and will be sadly missed by her parents Joe and Jolan Szeder and her sister Elizabeth. She is fondly remembered by her brother and sister in law, Cameron and Linda Muir and their daughter Jennifer as well as many relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her father and mother in law, Weir and Kathleen(Kathie) Muir. Her sense of hope, optimism and calm determination enveloped all those who knew her. Her smile could move mountains. It warmed even the most recalcitrant soul. She made you want to be a better person. She enjoyed the simple pleasures in life: family, home and service. Devoted to her only son, loving companion to her husband, and caring daughter to her parents, she knew the importance of family and she connected all of us to each other. Through her devotion we all became better people. Working for the public service for over 32 years, she took great satisfaction in her more recent assignment, helping clients in need. She excelled in her ability to empathize with others. She will be greatly missed. Till we meet again Susan, our love for you is boundless. In keeping with her wishes a Memorial Tea will be held at Henderson’s Langley Funeral Home on Friday September 5, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Agency
