Almost 700 people spent Friday night at McLeod Athletic Park during the seventh annual Langley Relay for Life. The 12-hour relay brings together teams of people who fundraise for the Canadian Cancer Society and its work to find a cure. The relay began Friday evening with a lap by cancer survivors who sported yellow T-shirts, then everybody joined in to continue until Saturday morning. Volunteers provided entertainment overnight and participants had fun with various games and contests. See more on page A11.

Property owner’s lawsuit turfed

A legal battle over comments about fill farming has ended in the favour of a conservation group. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The Glen Valley Watershed Society has seen a $13 million lawsuit against its members thrown out of court. The lawsuit was brought by Robin Scory, a property owner in the uplands above Glen Valley. He applied to have a large amount of fill – about 100,000 truck loads – deposited on his land. That sparked protests from a number of locals, and the Glen Valley Watersheds Society. Scory sued the society and member Sian Kranitz for defamation, but the suit was dismissed

The judge said Scory’s application was ultimately not put on hold because of anything neighbours said, but because he didn’t supply the Department of Fisheries with more information about his proposal. The judge said he could re-start his application. Kranitz and the Watershed Society were represented by lawyers from Ecojustice. “This case is a clear statement that meritless lawsuits against people who speak up for the environment will not stand,” said Jennifer Agnolin, Ecojustice staff lawyer. Scory has said he will appeal the ruling. He is still suing two Township employees in a related matter, said Mark Bakken, Township administrator. That case has not yet finished.

Ultimate Canucks fan

Baby, he was born this way

What would you do for Canucks playoff tickets? How about dress as Lady Gaga for a day? by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley’s Colin Alexander is headed for game two of the Stanley Cup final, to see his beloved Vancouver Canucks compete. The 25-year-old Country Lumber employee just had to don some makeup, a blonde wig, and size 11 high-heeled shoes to get the tickets to the Canucks/Boston Bruins game. Alexander spent Friday working while dressed as pop star Lady Gaga, revealing his new look to his fellow employees while her song Born This Way blared from speakers at the company’s office. His stunt won him two tickets and a gift certificate from Best Buy, in the Vancouver Province’s So What Would You Do? contest. While getting his makeup done, Alexander said the idea wasn’t his. “It was actually my friend Sam’s,” he said. His first suggestion was dying his playoff beard blue, but Sam had the Gaga idea. “I don’t really know any of her music,” Alexander admitted. Because he won’t be wearing steel toed boots for a day, he couldn’t do his normal job. “Normally, I’m a forklift operator, but the boss said he’ll put me on the front gate today,” Alexander said. That means that somewhat startled customers were having their loads checked by a tall man in a blond wig, with glitter in his beard.

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Colin Alexander gets his makeup done for a day working at Langley’s Country Lumber while dressed as Lady Gaga. Fellow employees loved his new look, snapping pictures as Alexander danced in after finishing his makeup job. “My dad thinks it’s hilarious, my mom wants to move,” Alexander said of his celebrity. His boss, Scott Rexworthy, wasn’t too

surprised at how his employee got Canucks tickets. “If anybody would, it would be Colin,” Rexworthy said. “He’s a pretty easygoing guy.” Not surprisingly, he said Alexander is a “huge, huge Canucks fan.”

Warawa aims to tame asbestos exports Langley’s MP says he wants to look at potentially changing asbestos sales overseas. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Just weeks after Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Canada won’t ban asbestos exports, Langley MP Mark Warawa wants to re-open the debate. Warawa, a member of Harper’s Conservative Party, said he wants to bring up the issue again. “I think we need to take a ser-

He wants to focus on other issues and hopes to be appointed to a number of committees once Parliament resumes sitting on June 2. Justice, public safety, and human rights are his top picks, Warawa said. “I’m waiting to find out which committees I’m on,” he said. In addition to the asbestos issue, he wants the Canadian government to condemn attacks against albino people in Tanzania, and he is interested in working on issues of border access and medical marijuana. - With files from Postmedia Network Inc.

Target hits Langley bulls-eye Langley will be a host to one of the first of the new wave of Target stores taking over Zellers outlets. by Derrick Penner Postmedia Network Inc.

American retail giant Target has selected some of Metro Vancouver’s hottest regional shopping centres, including Langley, as beachheads for its entry into the Canadian market. On Thursday, Target announced that 15 British Columbia Zellers locations will be among the first 105 across Canada where it will take over store leases with the intent of converting them into Target outlets by 2013 as part of its $1.825-billion takeover of the Zellers chain. Target announced in January that it negotiated a deal to take over the leases of up to 220 Zellers locations, and on Thursday, Target Canada president Tony Fisher said the initial roster will “ensure Target will be represented throughout the country.” Fisher said the discount retailer analyzed trade areas based on demographics, competition and market potential to identify trade areas that “would be well served by a Target store.” In Metro Vancouver, those locations included Willowbrook in Langley, Oakridge Centre in Vancouver, Metropolis at Metrotown in Burnaby, Coquitlam Centre, Scottsdale Mall in Delta, and Haney Place in Maple Ridge. Elsewhere in the Lower Mainland, Target has zeroed in on the Abbotsford Power Centre and the Cottonwood Mall in Chilliwack.

Small businesses receive HST input credits. That means they don‛t end up paying taxes on the goods and services they buy to run their business.

B.C. has the lowest HST rate in Canada, making our province an attractive place to foreign investors and for existing business to expand.

HST‛s one tax system reduces the amount of time and money B.C. businesses spend on administration by about $150 million per year.

Decide for yourself. Learn more at HSTinBC.ca

HST‛s single tax system reduces costs for B.C. businesses. That helps strengthen the economy, create jobs, and makes us more competitive internationally.

Some of the location decisions appear obvious because of their strength as regional centres, according to Jim Smerdon, director of retail and strategic planning at Colliers International Consulting. They are spots with strong trading areas, but where Target sees it can improve on Zellers’ performance, which may be lagging because of the poor performance of its brand. “Those are easy ones to evaluate, potentially, simply based on the populations of those areas and the potential for sales,” Smerdon said. In other locations, Smerdon added that Target “clearly made those location decisions in the first round very strategically to position themselves against Walmart.” The Cottonwood Mall location, for instance, which will face off against a new Walmart location being built near Chilliwack, is one of those locations, Smerdon said. Smerdon said he found some locations for Target’s rollout in B.C., and some absences, surprising. For instance, the list includes four locations on Vancouver Island, but none in Kamloops or Kelowna. However, Smerdon said that could be a matter of the lease conditions and amenability of landlords to make changes. “There are probably a couple of stores on the list that maybe weren’t high priority stores, but the [landlords] just made it very easy for the transition,” he added. And Smerdon said Target is still actively searching for development sites to build stores and they are likely looking to fill other gaps, such as Richmond, a large population area.

Consumers have to pay the HST on the end product. But since businesses no longer pay embedded taxes during the manufacturing process, their savings can be passed onto the consumer.

Land swap meeting tonight Routley-area parents will have a chance to sit down with the school district and Langley Township. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Routley area parents and the Langley School District will be meeting tonight (May 31). The meeting was suggested at the May 17 school board meeting. It’s set for 6-7 p.m. at the the school district head office in Murrayville. Also invited to the meeting are Willoughby slope school community parent representatives, Township mayor and council, Township staff, and school district staff. Parent Rena Terry has expressed concern about the May 31 meeting. “I feel this is very unfair to provide the residents of Routley such short notice,” she said. The meeting is to have both the school

and Township representatives in the same room so Routley area parents can find out more about the land swap involving a school district lot in their neighbourhood. Many residents have complained that they were told the site would become a school and bought homes believing there would be more student spaces coming to the growing community. The school district has posted a variety of reports related to planning in the Willoughby slope area, such as five-year capital plans for 2006 to 2011, a March 2010 report on the Willoughby area by a consulting firm, and other material. The paperwork is to document the district’s changing priorities in the Willoughby slope area. It’s been about four years since the district considered putting a new school in Routley. A new school was recently announced for Yorkson and the school board continues to lobby the provincial government for another school in Willoughby, the only area of the district that is growing.

Poor definition

When Prime Minister Stephen Harper promised Senate reform, we thought he intended to try and improve it for Canada, not improve upon its use as a Conservative payoff/reward system. Harper’s move to appoint three defeated Tory candidates to the Senate drew howls from opponents – as it should. It’s one thing to find retired politicians – those who have gone on to do some good works in their retirement – it’s quite another to take newly defeated candidates and put them in the Senate. Harper had promised to reform the Senate by making it an elected body, and if he was serious about that promise, he would have at least waited until all the election signs had been pulled out of lawns before rewarding his team’s losers. And then there’s the case of defeated Conservative MP Josee Verner, who receives severance of roughly $116,000, and whom Harper immediately appointed to the $132,300 per year Senate posting. Talk about double-dipping. Some pundits have suggested that Harper appointed the defeated Tories to incite the call for reform again, and to get the provinces involved. If he did, there’s certainly easier and less destructive ways of moving reform forward. We understand that previous parties have used the Senate to reward members, and as a guaranteed backup for government policies – but few seem to have used it so quickly or so nakedly for their own interest as Stephen Harper’s Conservatives. The Senate offers lawmakers and the parliamentary system an opportunity to be a force for a judicious, sober second look at legislation – but it is becoming (perhaps already is) just a parking place for patronage, and consequently, it will continue to be a target for derision and jokes. If the government is serious about reform, it needs to ask the provinces to get Senators on the ballot for the next election. And it needs to lead the movement, not exploit the system for its own benefit.

Frontier Building Supply is closing after 40 years in Fort Langley.

Fort Langley

Frontier service coming to end

Dear Editor, Another landmark of Fort Langley will be closing its doors on May 31. My parents, Bill and Blanche Dyck, bought the PK Building Supply Store in Fort Langley in 1971 and re-named it Frontier Building Supply. It became our family business, operating as a hardward store and lumber yard. As my parents prepared for retirement, my brother, Jim Dyck, took over the store, and added a garden and craft centre. In the early 70s, I worked there as a clerk, and saw many loyal customers walk through those doors, some shopping for supplies, while others just stopped in to say

hi and tell a story or two. Last weekend, I took my last visit to the store, and as I walked through the partially emptied aisles, I couldn’t help but shed a tear, remembering those customers that remained dedicated throughout the 40 years, even as those big box stores opened all around. You can buy hardware and lumber at hundreds of stores, but none will ever compare to Frontier Building Supply, nor will the service ever be as personable as you received from Bill, Blanche, Jim, Margo, and their family throughout the decades. Jimmy Dyck will be sadly missed. Ceci (Cecile) Tolman, Jimmy’s sister

Environment

Township will need more stickers There was absolutely no indication at the start that our container would not comply – and why would a person collecting waste complain about picking up a small container instead of a larger (heavier) one? But after collecting our waste, they seemed to have plenty of energy left to write out a “ticket” and stick it on top of our “GreenCan” sticker (with such strong adhesive that removing it actually damaged the original “GreenCan” sticker!). So now the Township – after raising our taxes – expects all of us to go out and purchase a larger, more expensive can – to meet the requirements posted AFTER we all bought smaller, more appropriate cans.

Energy

Easier gas brings dark days

Dear Editor, I am one of many Fraser Valley residents who were grateful when the provincial government took steps to permanently shut down the natural gas-fired Burrard Thermal generating plant in Port Moody. Burning non-renewable fossil fuels in a confined airspace like the Lower Mainland is not good for anyone’s lungs, let alone for our children or for those who suffer from asthma. But now that a new technology has been developed that can extract natural gas locked in massive shale rock deposits (providing an abundant new supply of relatively cheap natural gas), I fear natural gas-fired power plants similar to Burrard Thermal and Sumas II could resurface, and reverse progress we’ve made in cleaning up our air. I would therefore like our elected officials to recommit to clean energy development, because burning natural gas to generate electricity is simply not necessary when we have so many alternative energy resources in this province that can do the job better, and do it cleanly and renewably. Staying on the clean energy path is something our children and grandchildren will thank us for someday. Marney Hogan, Langley

TODAY’S FLYERS... in the

Sorry, but the Township took all my remaining money that I had, and since this initiative is supposed to be about helping and protecting the planet, I will not be driving my vehicle into town to purchase another large can. The existing plastic garbage can that I use for regular garbage is already on its last legs from all of the misuse and abuse from garbage collectors who do not care about my property. But maybe there lies the problem: the Township no longer has its own employees doing the garbage and recycling pick-up. The Township – and not its citizens – made the decision long ago to “farm out” those services to independent, private companies. Why are we being dictated to by Sierra Waste? Last time I checked, my taxes go to the Township, not Sierra Waste. I will continue to put my kitchen waste in the container that I purchased for the job, and carry it to the curb every week. And I encourage all Langley citizens to continue to use whatever can they purchased, as well. If this Township initiative is about what’s IN the container, rather than what the container IS, then the Township will do its job instead of nitpicking us to death. Otherwise, the Township had better hire another company to start printing a lot more “Non-compliance” stickers. Doug Nickason, Langley

Dear Editor, Richard Roberts [Green cans expensive error, May 24 Letters, Langley Advance] and all of Langley should feel ripped off by the Township’s green can (delayed) rules. We also purchased a small plastic container to meet our family’s needs for this “environmentally conscious” initiative, and also ended up with a “Noncompliance” sticker over top of our GreenCan sticker, stating that we had failed to comply with regulations. Since we knew that the amount of kitchen waste would amount to no more than one cubic foot of waste each week, we purchased a container that would suit our requirements.

Crashes, drunk drivers keep RCMP busy Even zero tolerance hasn’t stopped drivers from drinking.

Strict penalties, including roadside driving bans, still aren’t deterring some Langley residents from drinking and driving, local RCMP say. Over the Victoria Day long weekend and the previous weekend, six drivers were caught and face criminal charges for drinking and driving, said Cpl. Holly Marks. All of them were handed 24-hour suspensions, followed by 90-day driving bans. A total of 12 drivers were given 90-day bans and saw their cars impounded for 30 days. In one of the most bizarre incidents in May, two people in the same car were both given 24 hour suspensions. The car was seen driving erratically in the Willoughby area. The driver then got out from behind the wheel to let his friend try, but that didn’t go very well either. The car only traveled a short distance before being pulled over. Two young drivers with graduated licenses were given 12-hour suspensions under the “zero tolerance” rules.

While not drunk, they broke the rules banning any use of alcohol before driving. The average cost of towing and impounding a vehicle is $800, and the driver will pay a $500 penalty, as well as a $250 license re-instatement fee, plus higher insurance premiums for several years. “Motorists choosing to operate a vehicle impaired in Langley are taking monumental risks,” Marks said. They risk the financial penalties of being caught, not to mention the risk of losing a license, going to jail, or even killing someone.

Fiery crash Friday

A car crashed and burned Friday afternoon in South Langley, sending one young man to hospital with serious injuries. At about 4:30 p.m., a 1993 Nissan Sentra with a 20-year-old at the wheel veered off 232nd Street, said Cpl. Holly Marks of the Langley RCMP. The car was headed south in the 700 block, and crossed the centre of the road before crashing on the east side. Marks said the car became airborne, bounced off one tree, snapped a second tree, and finally came to rest with the passenger side wrapped around two more trees.

Balance your mortgage and your life.

The driver and two 16-year-old passengers managed to get out as the car burst into flames. One of the passengers was taken to hospital via Air Ambulance. The other passenger and driver were taken to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Speed seems to have been a factor in the crash, Marks said. Langley Client Support and Victim Services were called in to help both the occupants of the car, and witnesses to the fiery crash.

Car slams into hydro pole

A woman was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries following a crash in Abbotsford involving a car and a tractor on Tuesday morning. Abbotsford Police spokesman Const. Ian MacDonald said the details are still not clear, but that a Toyota Corolla and a tractor were involved in an incident in the 3700 block of Lefeuvre Road around 11:45 a.m. The female driver of the Corolla may have been trying to pass the tractor when it lost control, hit a hydro pole, and landed on its roof in a ditch, said MacDonald. The sole occupant of the car, a 54-year-old woman from Langley, suffered injuries needing immediate medical care, but is expected to recover, said MacDonald.

“We don’t relay for cancer, we relay for life,” said Diana Beglaw. The survivor chair for the 2011 Langley Relay for Life kicked off this year’s even Friday by telling the crowd about beating a cancer that has a three per cent survival rate. If Beglaw hadn’t turned yellow in 2002, she’d be dead now. The Walnut Grove resident had just returned from a Mexican holiday several years ago when she decided it was time to see a doctor. It was a tumour at the head of her pancreas, she said. For every 100 people who get pancreatic cancer, 97 won’t make it, because most people are asymptomatic until the cancer is well-established. The diagnosis made her numb but the floodgates opened when she had to tell her husband and two sons she had cancer. “When I had to look into his eyes and tell him I had cancer, the tears started to flow,” she said. She credited her doctors with an amazing job. She underwent a six and a half hour surgery, having part of her pancreas, stomach, and intenstine removed. After coming out of the surgery, she was told that her doctors had managed to remove every part of the tumour. She burst into tears of joy when she heard the good news, Beglaw said. “I never did say the word die,” Beglaw told the large crowd at McLeod Athletic Park. Cancer free for nine years now, she started doing Relay for Life and has for the past several years been the chairperson who oversees survivor services and

Kindness blitz

Love Langley lives on with the individual churches Several of the community’s faith groups will keep giving through new and different ways this month. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

ove Langley, as local residents have known it, has run its course and has been discontinued – at least on the grand community-wide scale. But that doesn’t mean the giving, charitable spirit behind the event will die, said Southgate Church Pastor Dave McTaggart, one of the Love Langley founders. Several churches that participated in the past are carrying on the work – just on an individual basis, he elaborated. Love Langley was a one-day blitz of kindness that involved about a dozen local churches coming together one Saturday each June, and blanketing the community with random acts of kindness. The joint program ran for five years in Langley. While some churches held events, such as free car washes and garage sales, others went out into the community and performed kind deeds for complete strangers. There was a lot of meaningful work done. However, it was a large job to coordinate it all, and this year McTaggart said the responsibilities are simply being left to individual churches that wish to continue this form of community outreach. So far this year, Brookswood Baptist has stepped up. It’s once again holding its community garage sale and open house at the church, 20581 36th Ave. on Saturday, June 11, from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Jeremy Leavitt chowed down on one of the free hot dogs offered up last year by Southgate Church as part of the now defunct Love Langley. Langley Advance files

Literally hundreds turned out to the Brookswood Baptist Church Love Langley garage sale last year. Even though it’s not being run under the Love Langley banner this year, the 36th Avenue church is once again holding its sale and open house on Saturday, June 11. This year’s event in the parking lot and church is being held in lieu of official participation in Love Langley, said church administrative assistant Marie Rodgers. Likewise, Southgate is again tying some of its former Love Langley activities in with the 27th annual Langley Community Days parade and celebration on June 18.

In the past, Southgate Church took over a chunk of the Langley Mall parking lot, as well as the courtyard and their lobby, to give away quality men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing 10 a.m. to noon. They also gave away free hot dogs and car washes. It’s unclear yet how much of that will be repeated this year, beyond the clothing

giveaway. A few weeks out from the event, McTaggart said that depends on volunteers. And like last year, several churches will forgo separate activities in favour of helping organize or assist with the Community Day children’s activities at Douglas Park. Love Langley lives on, just independently, McTaggart said.

hen school lets out for summer vacation and thousands of Langley children prepare for long days of sunny fun, some parents may be left worrying about finding and paying for child care. It’s for that very reason that the Boys and Girls Clubs of South Coast British Columbia offer affordable day camps during the summer months: to meet the needs of local families. This year’s Langley club camps offer creative titles like “Walk the Plank” and “The Great Outdoors” that are designed to engage kids in outdoor, interactive activities. “Every week we’ll do one or two out-trips, and we base our themes around those,” said Langley club coordinator Herv Bezjak. “For example, we have a Land of the Lost week, a dinosaur theme, so we’ll be taking a group down to Science World, who are having a dinosaur exhibit in August, and

after-school and evening care for at the club we’ll be doing arts children, and a breakfast program and crafts, food and games based where students can receive a meal around that theme.” each morning before classes.

Langley’s history, as recorded in the files of the Langley Advance. Seventy Years Ago

JUNE 5, 1941

• A School Loan bylaw, to build a new junior high school, was defeated at every polling station in Langley. The final tally was 402-835. • Unemployment insurance was to be implemented, as of July 1. • A flag-raising ceremony at the B&K Feed Store marked the opening of Langley’s Victory Loan Campaign. The first three days raised $42,000 towards Langley’s $100,000 quota.

Sixty Years Ago

JUNE 7, 1951

• A Defence Association was formed to organize Langley City as a cushion area in case of an atomic bomb attack on Vancouver.

Fifty Years Ago

• Girls outnumbered boys 52-36 in Langley Secondary School’s graduating class. • Langley Cricket Club de-

• Belmont Elementary School was razed in a $250,000 fire that left 350 students without accommodation. After the fire, Brookswood fire Chief John Heppner condemned the municipal council for not making water more readily available in the area. The nearest hydrant was half a mile from the school, and with only two tanker trucks on hand, water supply to the fire was intermittent. • The Langley Meals on Wheels program started.

Thirty Years Ago

JUNE 3, 1981

• One man was in hospital and his brother-in-law faced a charge of attempted murder following a shooting in Northwest Langley. • An Aldergrove store clerk suffered a heart attack after he chased down and caught one of four armed robbers who attempted a heist at the OK Corral. Three other suspects were apprehended by police shortly after. The suspects were all 16 and 17 years of age.

Twenty Years Ago

JUNE 5, 1991

• Two Abbotsford mechanics were arrested in connection with the rape and stabbing of a Langley woman who had been abducted while she was walking with two

male friends in downtown Langley. Police were looking into the possibility that one or both of the men were involved in other sexual attacks in the Lower Mainland. • Speaking at a $50-a-plate fundraising dinner, Social Credit Premier Rita Johnston hinted that she would call an election soon, and offered a veiled warning that, if the NDP were victorious, it would put B.C. on the “road to ruin.”

Ten Years Ago

MAY 29, 2001

• Vandals caused thousands of dollars in damages to Alex Hope Elementary, opening a ﬁre hydrant and ﬂooding several classrooms. • The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce was named B.C.’s Chamber of the Year.

JUNE 1, 2001

• An Aldergrove family’s eight-day ordeal had a happy ending when 19year-old Joe Spring was found alive. He had been trapped in his car after it had left the road near Williams Lake. • Langley’s mayors, Kurt Alberts and Marlene Grinnell expressed disappointment at the imminent demise of photo-radar announced by the new Liberal provincial government. But both Langley MLAs, Rich Coleman and Lynn Stephens said they were happy at the prospect.

Langley Olympians Swim Club’s latest adventure was at the Hyack Festival AAA Youth Cup over the holiday weekend. A team of 13 swimmers spent the weekend at the Canada Games Pool in New Westminster, along with athletes from Alberta, Vancouver Island, and all over B.C. A total of 375 AAA standard swimmers took part in this meet, so the competition was very tough. This was a long course meet (50-metre pool) with heats and finals. The Langley swimmers were up to the challenge with most of them making finals, winning medals, achieving best times, and taking home FINA cash awards. Martha Metcalfe, 14, won $175 for her performances in the 13-14 girls distance freestyle and in the individual medley (IM). She garnered the highest points in the 400/800-metre freestyle and second highest in the 200m/400m IM. Metcalfe broke the LOSC club record in the 400m freestyle (4:38.12) while winning the event. She went on to place second in the 800m freestyle and 400m in the IM, third in the 200m IM, and fourth in the 200m fly. Hillary Metcalfe, 13, won $150, highest points in the 100m/200m breaststroke, and third highest in the 200m/400m IM. She won the 100m and 200m breaststroke events, placed second in the 200m freestyle, 50m freestyle, and 200m IM, and swam to fourth in the 200m backstroke. Michael MacDonald, 15, won $50 for achieving the third highest points in the 400m and 1500m freestyle events. He also placed fourth in the 400m and 1500m freestyle swims. Eleven-year-old Robyn Nakano won $50 for the third highest points in the 100m/200m fly. Nakano placed third in the 200m fly, fifth in the 100m fly, and sixth in 200m backstroke. Other LOSC swimmers making finals were: Kyla Barton, 14 – 2nd in the 13-14 girls 200m breaststroke and 6th in the 100m breaststroke; Siobhan Board, 13 – 3rd in the 13-14 girls 200m backstroke and 100m backstroke;

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! May 31

FIRST IN BC - OUTPATIENT CARE AND SURGERY CENTRE OPENS IN SURREY

Unique facility offers better care for outpatients The delivery of health care in Surrey will change forever on June 1, with the opening of the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre at 140 Street and Fraser Highway.

patient,” said Dr. Nigel Murray, President and CEO of Fraser Health.“The Centre will not only provide better care for outpatients, but will free up capacity that can help us improve care in our hospitals and other facilities.”

The four-storey, 188,000-square-foot facility will be the first in B.C. to bring together more than 50 services and programs, including day surgery, exclusively for outpatients – those who don’t require an overnight stay or emergency care.

Distinct environment One key question guided the construction and design of the Centre:“What will serve the patient best?”

“The Centre will not only provide better care for outpatients, but will free up capacity that can help us improve care in our hospitals and other facilities.”

Integrated, expanded care The Centre takes an integrated “one-stop-shop” approach to patient care that views each patient as a whole person rather than an individual illness. To those with multiple conditions, such as diabetes and a weak heart, this will mean fewer medical visits along with a more comprehensive picture of what they need to do to improve their overall health. Care providers from different service areas will not only work together – with the help of technology that assists with information-sharing and scheduling – but will also collaborate with patients through a strong focus on education and empowerment. Most of the Centre’s 50-plus clinics and programs are either new or enhanced, featuring new technology, larger space, additional staffing and increased service hours.

Other programs and services include a variety of specialty clinics (e.g. diabetes, heart, lung, pain, seniors and neurology), urology services, maternity services, diagnostic services (e.g. ultrasound, x-ray, CT and MRI scans), day surgeries and surgical procedures, scopes and biopsies. Ultimately, the overall goal is to provide faster access to patient-centred care, resulting in better health and quality of life for patients, and fewer visits to the hospital or emergency room.
