Discarded cigarette blamed in house fire Township of Langley, Surrey firefighters joined forces to battle blaze which may have been sparked in tinder-dry bark mulch MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
A cigarette discarded in bark mulch is likely to blame for a house fire that has caused a young family to lose their home on Tuesday afternoon. Around 4:30 p.m., Township and Surrey fire crews arrived to find flames shooting out the roof of the home, located at 7260 196 St. Township assistant fire chief Pat Walker said the quick and “heroic actions” of a neighbour should be noted. Dustin Favelle, 26, was returning home from work when he saw the smoke. He quickly went over to the house, which was one street over. That’s when he saw the smoke and flames. Seeing several pairs of shoes outside the home, Favelle began pounding on the door. When no one answered, he kicked it in. Another passerby also helped, he said. The home was filled with smoke, but he didn’t see anyone so he closed the door behind him and waited for fire crews to arrive. The house’s occupants, including at least two young kids, weren’t home at the time of the blaze.
“It was also good thinking to close the door behind him to prevent a backdraft,” said Walker. Walker said following 38 days of dry weather, landscaping is tinder dry. “The fire started in bark mulch in the neighbouring walkway. That fire led to the cedar trees beside the home which went up like match sticks,” said Walker. The amount of heat caused the home’s vinyl siding to ignite, with the flames reaching into the attic. The northwest corner of the roof was burned off and there is significant water damage to the inside of the home. The heat from the fire also melted the vinyl siding of a neighbouring home. Provincial Disaster Assistance staff were there and provided the family with accommodation. Walker said fire crews had been to that neighbourhood last week because of a bark mulch fire caused by a cigarette. Because it is a compact neighbourhood, the situation could have been worse, he added. But because the neighbourhood sits on the border of Langley and Surrey, both fire departments were able to extinguish it quickly. Files from Times reporter Gary Ahuja

Suspect in two attacks on young women this summer is likely someone who is familiar with Langley, say RCMP MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Tips are coming in, patrols have been stepped up and criminal profilers have been called, as Langley RCMP does everything in its power to stop a rapist from striking again. Officers were preparing to put up posters around Langley City on Wednesday that show sketches of a man believed responsible for two violent sexual assaults, the most recent one taking place on Aug. 20, near Douglas Park. Cpl. Holly “Since we released Marks the similar sketches on Saturday, (Aug. 24) we have had 60 tips come in that we are following up on,” said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. That is in addition to the 100 tips police received after the first attack in June. “Officers from virtually every unit have been engaged to assist in the investigation,” Marks said. “Investigators have now undertaken the arduous task of following up on each lead, no matter how small.” Specialized profilers from the Behavioural Sciences Group are assisting. They say the suspect is likely someone familiar with Langley, who may live here now or has lived here in the past. Police say there is a possibility the suspect has changed his appearance to avoid detection — he may have shaved his beard or changed his hair colour. Since the two sex assaults have been

Police search the area around Douglas Park on Tuesday night, Aug. 20, after a 19-year-old woman was sexually assaulted. Langley RCMP have linked the attack with another that happened to a 16-year-old in June after the victims described a similar man to a sketch artist (above right). Police have received more than 160 tips in the two cases and behavioural profilers have been called in to try to help identify a suspect. publicized, no other victims have come forward, said Marks. However, there may be other victims out there who have chosen not to go to police or people who have had interactions with the suspect. To them, Marks is making a plea to call police. “You may have the one missing piece investigators need to conclusively identify this suspect,” she said.
“This event may have have even seemed insignificant to you at the time, but after seeing the sketch, you now wonder if you were very fortunate that day.” Also, people who know someone who drives a silver hatchback are asked call police or Crimestoppers. On June 22, a 16-year-old girl was waiting for a bus stop at 204 Street and 42 Avenue when she was forced into
a newer model silver hatchback by a bearded man. He drove her to the parking lot of Christian Life Assembly where he sexually assaulted her at knife point. He then drove her to the Langely bus loop and dropped her off. The victim provided a description of her attacker and police released a sketch of the suspect two weeks after the assault. On Aug. 20, around 8 p.m., a 19-yearold girl was walking in the 20600 block of 51B Avenue when she was attacked from behind, pushed to the ground and raped. He threatened her with a knife and told her not to scream. The suspect wore swimming goggles. After the assault, he took her purse and iPod before fleeing on a bicycle. Based on the victim’s description of her attacker and how strikingly similar it is to the sketch in the June attack, RCMP believe the same man is responsible. Call Langley RCMP at 605-532-3200 or should you need to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).
‘Falconridge rapist’ opts for trial in Langley carjacking MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
A man dubbed the “Falconridge rapist” for terrorizing a Calgary neighbourhood seven years ago, wants to take his latest charges of a violent carjacking to trial.
Wearing the standard red jumpsuit, with tattoos up both arms, Andrew Aurie Jefferson, 28, appeared in the prisoner’s box in Surrey Provincial Court on Monday for what was to be a bail hearing. But, through his lawyer, Dave Gable, Jefferson consented to remain behind
bars instead. Jefferson is facing two counts of robbery, uttering threats, possession of property obtained by crime, assault causing bodily harm, and assault with a weapon in connection with the June 8 carjacking in Langley City. In that case, he is accused of
approaching a woman with a knife and demanding the keys to her car. He was arrested just minutes later, a short distance away. While living in Calgary Jefferson was convicted of raping two women at knifepoint and assaulting another.
He moved to Surrey after his release from jail in 2012, outraging the mayor at the time. He is also charged with breaching his release conditions. He makes his next court appearance on Dec. 19 for a trial confirmation hearing.

Back-to-school safety should be top of mind BRONWYN SCOTT Times Reporter
September is just days away, and ICBC is asking parents to prepare their children for getting to and from school safely as routines change for the start of school and traffic levels increase. Every year in Langley an average of two children aged five to 18 are killed and 220 are injured in 670 car crashes, including pedestrian accidents, according to ICBC statistics. Province-wide, the number jumps to 18 children killed and 5,100 injured in 14,700 crashes. “It’s the ideal time for parents to review the rules of the road with their children
and take the time to go over their daily route with them,” said Todd Stone, minister of transportation and infrastructure. Taking out headphones while crossing the street, putting away electronic devices and focusing on the road are some tips that older children might need to be reminded of, according to ICBC. Younger children should be taught to cross at intersections, to walk on the inside edge of the sidewalk and to be aware of parked vehicles that may pull out into traffic. Drivers should also plan ahead for the traffic increases, said Stone. “Remember to leave earlier to avoid
rushing, stay focused on the road and use extra caution, especially around school zones.” Police will be closely monitoring for speeding in school zones during the transition. Unless otherwise posted, a 30 km/hr speed limit is in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days. Although there is no spike in incidents during September’s busy back-to-school period, as daylight hours get shorter in November, December and January, there is an increased number of traffic accidents, according to Lindsay Olsen, ICBC communications co-ordinator. More safety tips are available at icbc.com.
New elementary school opening in Yorkson MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Langley’s newest school, Richard Bulpitt Elementary, will welcome students through its doors for the first time on Tuesday. The south Yorkson Kindergarten to Grade 5 school, at 20965 77A Ave., will be the second new elementary school to open in Willoughby. Last year, Lynn Fripps Elementary opened and a middle school is currently under construction and will be ready for the 2014/2015 school year. Lucy Lenko, principal at Langley Meadows last year, has been appointed principal at Richard Bulpitt. R.C. Garnett Elementary, in Willoughy, was already over capacity when it opened several years ago in the rapidly growing neighbour-
hood, with several portables put on site to accommodate the overflow. Meanwhile, work to replace the Nicomekl bridge on 56 Avenue, has caused the closure of a portion of that road, from 211 Street to 213 Street. It will like make getting to Langley Secondary a challenge for students during the first half of the school year. Motorists will have to come around to 216 Street from Fraser Highway, and make a left onto 56 Avenue. The road closure continues until early December. Langley’s school district is one of only a few that has seen its student population grow. Most of that growth is occurring in the Willoughby area. The district didn’t have school population projections available by press deadlines.

Two South of Fraser transit advocates are pushing for a long wish list of transit expansion projects in Metro Vancouver and they want a new 0.5 per cent regional sales tax to pay for it all. Surrey’s Paul Hillsdon and Nathan Pachal of the group South Fraser On Trax say the package of upgrades they’ve designed offers something for every part of the region. Most of the $6.5 billion in capital spending they propose would go to a $2.9-billion SkyTrain extension down Broadway to UBC and for $2.1 billion to build new light-rail lines in Surrey to Guildford, Langley City and Newton, with a B-Line express bus route south to White Rock. And they propose several additional B-Lines that would extend quasi-rapid transit bus service to Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge on Hwy 7; down the 200 Street spine of Langley; along Marine Drive connecting West Vancouver and North Vancouver; as well as on Hastings Street and 41st Avenue in Vancouver and
Burnaby. Existing buses over the Port Mann Bridge on Highway 1 and on Highway 99 from Surrey to Richmond would also be upgraded to B-Lines. They say a half-point hike in the provincial sales tax levied only in Metro would raise $250 million a year — enough to cover the operating costs of the new lines as well as one third of the capital cost, on the assumption Victoria and Ottawa pay the other two thirds. “We’ve spent 10 years squabbling about what kind of tool can be used to fund the service,” Pachal said, adding the sales tax wouldn’t rile motorists as much as other TransLink sources like tolls or a vehicle levy. “This is fair and equitable.” He said a higher regional PST would grow with the economy and pull in money from visitors and tourists, while providing exemptions for basics like groceries to help shield lowerincome residents. B.C. residents have paid higher sales taxes not long ago. Over the past decade, the federal GST has been cut by
two per cent and the provincial PST was trimmed by 0.5 per cent. “We feel there is wiggle room,” Pachal said. Metro Vancouver mayors also suggested a small regional sales tax early this year. But mayors’ council chair Richard Walton said he envisioned something smaller — perhaps 0.1 or 0.2 per cent coming from that source — as part of a mix of other transit funding tools. Walton said there’s no doubt sales tax could generate a lot of revenue, but affordability would be a concern. He said the advocates’ claim a 0.5 per cent regional tax works out to just 35 cents per day per resident still adds up to an extra $42 per month for a family of four. “It’s not a trivial or insignificant amount,” Walton said. “We’re not advocating that outright at all. “We’re advocating an approach that is going to look at a number of different funding sources.” Walton said a solution must fund not just transit expancontinued, PAGE 7

Beginning this Sunday, the Carvolth Transit Exchange Park and Ride facility will cost $2 to park for the day or $40 to park for a month. Opened in December 2012, with more than 670 parking spaces, the Carvolth Park and Ride allows riders in the Langley area to park near the transit network and easily continue their journey via the rapid bus, over the Port Mann bridge, and connect to SkyTrain. As an introductory offer to the new transit exchange, the parking

It remains unclear what question will be put to voters in a promised referendum, but Walton said he meets Transportation Minister Todd Stone again Sept. 3 to discuss that issue as well as governance reforms for TransLink. Mayors in the spring opposed going to referendum. “We’re going forward with an open mind, in a spirit of cooperation,” he said.

WE SAY
THEY SAY
Safety in numbers
Time to use your head
t’s the kind of news that sets a community on edge, and it has Langley women looking over their shoulders. When police announced their suspicions over the weekend that a serial rapist could be at work in the Langleys, a collective shudder ran through the community. The attacks on two young women — one 16 years old, the other 19 — came two months apart. The first happened at a bus stop in June and the most recent near Douglas Park on Aug. 20. Adding to the fear factor, both assaults happened not in the wee hours, under cover of darkness, but in the early evening, when plenty of people are presumably out and about. Police began to connect the dots when each woman’s description of her attacker produced eerily similar drawings, and quickly did the right thing in letting the public know. While the police are no doubt making it their top priority to catch this predator, there are steps the public — women in particular — can and should be taking to help ensure their own safety. In fact, the RCMP have offered a few suggestions to that end. The full list is on our website as part of Tuesday’s story. One of the most important things to remember, they advise, is that self defense begins well before you find yourself fighting off an attack. It starts with awareness — knowing what is going on around you and considering what potential strategies an attacker might employ. Being aware includes using your “sixth sense,” say police — listening to that voice inside your head that is telling you something is wrong, even if your eyes and ears aren’t picking up the signals. If worse comes to worst, knowing how to escape or — as a last resort — to effectively defend yourself against an assault is a skill well worth having, they add. Tips for selecting an effective self defence program are included in the online list. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the sketches, too. And, of course, keep an eye out and report anything that seems suspicious. In both cases, the women selected by the suspect were alone. And while that can’t always be helped, it makes sense to travel in pairs or groups whenever possible. As the saying goes, there’s safety in numbers. Think of it as a great way to make a few new friends.
here was a time when not wearing a helmet while cycling or skateboarding was the norm. Not so many years ago, that ‘norm’ became the exception, as injuries and deaths of those partaking in the activities were connected to the distinct lack of head protection. Matt Elder is a name local residents will likely recall with sadness. The Southridge School honour student died in 2002, hours after striking the back of his head on the pavement while skateboarding near his South Surrey home. The 13-year-old was not wearing a helmet. In an effort to both keep Elder’s memory alive and prevent similar tragedies, a campaign was launched aimed at inspiring young ‘boarders and cyclists to don helmets every time they are out enjoying their sport. Friends of the teen said at the time that helmet-wearing did increase in the wake of Elder’s death — a glimmer of hope that the painful lesson had been learned. Looking around today, however, it appears many have forgotten that lesson. Young and old can be seen daily enjoying their sport, helmet-free. In the case of the particularly young, there’s no question responsibility rests on the parents. It’s an offence under the Motor Vehicle Act to permit a person under age 16 to operate or ride as a passenger without a helmet. And yet, it’s not uncommon to see parents cycle helmet-free with their children – reinforcing the potentially deadly standard as acceptable. Older riders should know better. It would appear a wake-up call may be needed to remind people of what they stand to lose should that fateful fall they never expected happen to them or someone they love. Who, after all, sets out planning to sustain a life-threatening injury? Perhaps a gentle reminder is enough, with hope that it doesn’t take another tragedy – another needless death or injury – to get people to once again use their heads. —Peace Arch News

Missing dog spotted Skateparks a breeding several times but ground for problems not yet recovered Editor: I’m asking if you would please print an update on my lost dog. When The Times came out on Aug. 8, seven people said that they had seen her at Porter Park at Five Corners in Murrayville. Only one person had phoned me. She had been unable to stop and pick her up because she was pregnant, had her own dog in the car, and was afraid to put a strange dog into the car given those factors. None of the other people even bothered to phone animal control, although they could tell she was unaccompanied by a human and was a senior dog and appeared deaf. At the time, she was with a scruffy looking dark grey or black senior dog. How is it that two stray dogs in the neighbourhood from Thursday evening until Friday afternoon didn’t merit at the very least a call to animal control? One man who saw her in his yard has the identical truck to mine. She was there for a long time. She went and checked out his rabbits. He said she seemed nice, He didn’t call anyone. Tess is 16 and deaf. She is technically a tri-colour but has grey on her snout, forehead and forelegs, like a blue Merle would. She went missing from her home at 62 Avenue and 248 Street and has been gone for three weeks. Bloodhounds and searchers have found no trace although there have been several sightings to the south and west of where she went missing.
Editor: Parents should beware. There are places out there where you can watch a drug deal go down, open alcohol being consumed, as well as hear foul language and witness other undesirable acts. As a parent, I need my children to know where you can go to be safe, and recognize times when it is not appropriate to be in places like this. My child enjoys the local skateboard park. It is a place where kids “stay out of trouble” and occupy themselves in sports like BMX freestyling, scooters, and of course
skateboarding. I spend as much time as I can with my son at the skateboard park. I am not ever comfortable having him go alone or with friends. I have seen things right out of the movies. There are expensive cars pulling up with young men handing out baggies and surrounded by happy customers (all of whom are high school students). Yes, I do contact the police at times. I could every time I show up. I choose to watch for more troublesome acts like drinking and driving, or fights. I encourage parents

Tess is 16 and deaf. She’s been missing for several weeks. Each time she surfaces it is very brief and she hasn’t turned up at any of the shelters. Please be on the lookout for this wonderful old lady. She is very much missed by her son Finnegan and her person (me). She might look as if she knows where she is going but it’s the wrong direction. She is extremely gentle and doesn’t move fast so would be easy to catch. If you see her, please call any time night or day 604-338-6903, or better yet, grab her and call — even if you are nervous with strange dogs. A cellphone pic and call to animal control is better than just observing and ignoring. Clare Brett Langley
TransLink is improving service to Aldergrove and Langley Editor: Re: On Aug. 13 , your paper published a letter from Marnie Friesen which claimed that, “Bus route changes would impact residents of Aldergrove.” I would like to reassure Marnie Friesen and your readers that the potential upcoming changes to transit service on Fraser Highway will not negatively affect the residents of Aldergrove and Langley. Rather, the new proposed changes will better service the needs of the these municipalities. The statement that TransLink is terminating the 502 at Langley Centre and operating another bus from Langley Centre to Aldergrove is incorrect. TransLink proposes to operate the 502 bus from Surrey Central to Langley and, in addition, introduce a new commuter oriented
service called the 503 Surrey Central/ Aldergrove. The new 503 will operate as an express service between Surrey Central and Langley Centre, continuing as a local stop service east of Langley connecting to Aldergrove. This is expected to reduce travel times, overcrowding and pass-ups for Aldergrove customers travelling to and from Surrey Central. Furthermore, the new line should help to reduce some overcrowding and pass-ups for local 502 customers. Details of the proposed change, including a map, are available at translink.ca/serviceop. These proposed changes are anticipated to take place early to mid 2014. Derek Zabel TransLink Communications
Friendly neighbours build community Editor: In response to ‘A challenge to runners: try a little friendliness’ (The Times, Aug. 22) In our current day world of multiculturalism, sometimes we forget that we are all people. The
out there who know their kids attend the local skateboard park to show up some time and see what they are up to. To see a kid who says he is in Grade 6 smoking a cigarette is a bit disturbing. This is a place to have fun and enjoy the sport. What I see is a breeding ground for all kinds of future problems. That said, there are many who enjoy these places without the issues attached. We usually go in the mornings. There are fewer extra activities, but not always. R. Edwards Langley
We live in the same neighborhoods, shop in the same stores, eat in the same restaurants, attend the same functions and our kids play together in the school yards. Wouldn’t it be nice if we were just a little bit more
friendly when we pass each other on the street? Whether you are walking, running, biking or just standing there with your dog, remember to say, ‘hi’ or ‘hello, how are you today.’ Community only comes
together if we all hold hands and share each other’s lives. So perhaps it will brighten your day, or someone else’s, if you stop and share your kindness and smile. Sandra Steffan Langley

Bruce Jamieson says he’s been ticketed three times in the last year-and-a-half for violating hard-to-spot no-stopping signs hidden by the summer flower baskets hung by the City of Langley. In every case, Jamieson, a Cloverdale resident, was able to convince the City bylaw enforcement department to tear up the “annoying” ticket by taking photos of the obscured signs, filling out a dispute form and going to city hall. He estimates the appeal process took “two to three hours” each time. Jamieson suspects some people are simply paying the fines rather than spend that much time fighting them. “I don’t flatter myself that I’m the only person this has happened to,” he says. Jamieson says he likes the flower baskets that hang from lamp standards, but thinks they should be trimmed more often to keep them from covering up the signs attached to the same poles.
Dan FERGUSON/Langley Times
A City of Langley flower box obscures a nostopping sign on Fraser Highway near 204 Street this summer. “I think they’re [the flowers] a real asset,” Jamieson says. “But if they’re going to put them in front of a street sign, they have to maintain them.” In July, Jamieson was able to find an example two blocks from The Times offices where flowers were covering up a nostopping sign bolted just above a still-visible three-hour parking time limit warning. As summer progresses and
flowers grow even longer, he has noticed instances where both signs have been obscured. Langley City CAO Francis Cheung said the issue will be investigated. “We’ll definitely have a look at it,” Cheung told The Times. Cheung said before crews start trimming the bottom of the flowers off, the effect on the “esthetics” would have to be considered and so would the impact on the health of the plants. One possibility, Cheung suggested, could be substituting warning notices for fines. Jamieson has his doubts. He said the reason he came forward is that he was told a year-and-a-half ago by the city bylaw enforcement department following his first ticket that the matter would be looked into, but tickets are still being issued. “Nothing was done,” Jamieson said. He said the people handing out the tickets can see if a sign is obstructed and when one is, they should call someone at the city to trim the flowers rather than writing a ticket. The City of Langley Highway and Traffic Regulation bylaw 2871 sets a fine of $50 for parking “contrary to traffic sign” but offers a reduction to $25 if paid within seven business days from the time issued.

when Mary was just nine. After her father, a farm implement dealer and carpenter, died in a horse accident, Mary’s mother worked hard to keep her family going, taking in boarders, as well as sewing and catering to make money. Mary Harker worked until retirement age, when she and her husband became snowbirds, spending their winters in Florida. She kept busy as a full-time volunteer at hospitals on both sides of the border. A few years after Gordon passed away, Mary decided to move to Langley. Her family says she is known for her fashion sense, her facility with math and her competitive nature. Her son William recalls the time his mother, then well past retirement age, took on him and her grandson at golf and beat them both.

In July, Premier Christy Clark joined the chorus of premiers protesting Ottawa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal training money to provinces, for its new employer-driven Canada Jobs Grant. Clark and New Brunswick Premier David Alward were assigned to find an alternative to this drastic shift and report back in the fall. As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federalprovincial program, and the average is $20,000. One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not. Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.

• The Langley Times • Thursday, August 29, 2013 ADVERTORIAL BRIEF
2013 CTHS Yearling & Mixed Sale The Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society of BC will hold its annual sale of yearling thoroughbreds on Tuesday Sept. 10 at Langley’s Thunderbird Show Park. The auction will start at 2 p.m. Interested buyers are welcome to visit the Show Park on Sept. 9 to view prospective racehorse champions at the Yearling Parade at 3 p.m. Many very successful B.C.-bred racehorses have been purchased from this Sale, including last year’s Horse of the Year, Taylor Said, who was purchased in 2009 for $10,000 and went on to win over $260,000. Another B.C.-bred sales graduate, Herbie D, recently won the 2013
Longacres Mile at Emerald Downs near Seattle, the most prestigious race in the Pacific Northwest. This was the second year in a row that a B.C.-bred horse won the race. Last year, B.C.-bred Strait of Dover won the Queen’s Plate at Toronto’s Woodbine Racetrack. This race is Canada’s equivalent to the Kentucky Derby. Buyers at this year’s Sale will be entered into a draw, with six lucky buyers each winning up to $10,000 towards their purchase! Also, everyone who comes out to the Sale or Parade can enter for a chance
to win a VIP trip for two to this year’s ultimate racing event, the Breeders Cup at Santa Anita Park in California. A free information session for those who are considering purchasing a racehorse, either individually or with a group, and who would like to learn about ownership options, syndicates, what to expect and how to read the CTHS Sales catalogue and more will take place on Sept. 4 at The Derby Bar and Grill (115 – 17637 1st Avenue, Surrey) at 6 p.m. To reserve your spot or for more information call 604-536-2878.

news
Bacterial outbreak at hospital
DAN FERGUSON Times reporter
An outbreak of C. difficile bacteria has closed a 40-bed ward at Langley Memorial Hospital to new admissions. The Fraser Health Authority announced the outbreak in the 4-south medicine unit online, saying a halt to admissions and transfers has been ordered unless “medically warranted.” Four patients were diagnosed with the bacteria. One has recovered and has gone home. The ward was not expected to open to new patients until Sept. 1 at the earliest. The Clostridium difficile bacteria usually affects people on antibiotics. It can cause bloating, diarrhea and sometimes-severe abdominal pain. In some cases it can be life-threatening. In June of last year, a health authority blog praised staff in 4-south for tackling what were described as “chronically high levels of C. difficile” in the unit. According to the blog, C. difficile is problem at Langley Memorial because of the hospital’s age and number of patients. “As an older facility, there are not as many sinks for hand cleaning and like others in the region, capacity issues pose added challenges,” the blog said, adding that while 4-south is a 40-bed unit, it often cares for 48 patients at a time. Staff decided to have a C-diff Awareness Month in April, posting signs and wearing yellow ‘Stop C-diff Now’ T-shirts. Patients were discouraged from receiving flowers and other gifts to help create a cleaner environment, and were asked to clean their hands before each meal. The campaign was considered a success because there were no new cases of C. difficile during one week in April, “which had been almost unheard of,” the blog noted. Because many C-difficile cases occur outside the hospital, nurses on the unit now ask emergency staff if an admitted patient has diarrhea, so screening tests can be ordered.

Feeling the Breeze in South Surrey with Adera By Kerry Vital
South Surrey is a vibrant, thriving neighbourhood with tons of amenities around. Now Adera is offering a bit of natural serenity with its townhome project, Breeze. Located just moments from Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners, you’ll be able to take advantage of everything the neighbourhood has to offer, including shopping, dining and recreation.
Inside your home, you’ll find a spacious open floorplan with plenty of contemporary features. Among them is a chef ’s kitchen with a dining island, stainless-steel appliances, granite/quartz countertops and a modern designer glass tile backsplash. The entire kitchen is complemented by the Metropolitan Evoke Wide Plank laminate flooring that continues through the living and dining area, with plush carpeting in the bedrooms and large porcelain tile in the bathrooms.
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
There are four different two- and three-bedroom floorplans available at Breeze, ranging from approximately 1,122 to 1,445 square feet. Adera is now offering homeowners a seriously amazing way to personalize their homes. Called I.D. By Me, the program allows the buyer to be their own interior designer and choose their colour scheme, upgrade finishes or fixtures and several other choices. Among the options at Breeze are adding heated floors in the bathrooms, upgrading the kitchen appliances and adding a washer/dryer package, along with several other ways to make your home your own. Adera has long been committed to sustainable and green buildings, and this continues with Breeze. Among the ecologically friendly features you’ll find here are LED street lamps (a first for Surrey), motion sensor lights in the bathrooms and ENERGY STAR-rated windows and appliances. The lush landscaping outside easily showcases the green lifestyle you will live at Breeze. All of the materials used in construction are locally sourced, reducing the carbon footprint. For more information about Breeze and other Adera projects, and the I.D. By Me program, visit www.adera.com.

The homes at Avra are full of luxurious ďŹ nishes such as granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, above. Residents will also be able to take advantage of the gorgeous seaside location and on-site amenities.
Affordable luxury in White Rock at Avra By Kerry Vital
Amenities and amazing homes abound in White Rock, but the Avra Development Group is bringing something new to the area with Avra, its condominium development in uptown White Rock that combines curb appeal, location and high-end design in one gorgeous package. “People have nothing but great things to say about Avra,� says Vice-President and Director Chris Tsakumis. “The response has been overwhelmingly positive.�
The homes are move-in-ready and available for a quick possession, Tsakumis says. “We’ve responded to the market’s request for larger suites,� he says, noting the availability of custom homes that are actually two floorplans combined together to make a single suite. These range from about 1,300 to over 1,600 square feet, which Tsakumis says has been particularly attractive to downsizers. “These allow our downsizing clients to find something they’re comfortable with,� he says. “It’s been received really positively.� Tsakumis says that residents don’t have to give up some of their possessions when they purchase one of the custom floorplans, simply due to how spacious they are. There are three different custom plans available in the building, along with a penthouse floorplan. It’s obvious that the developer has gone above and beyond with Avra, and is catering to buyers who are looking for a gorgeous seaside lifestyle and plenty of space to live or relax. “No other community can offer something
custom like this,� Tsakumis says. “Avra is the only concrete high-rise community with brand-new extra-large two and three bedroom suites.� The high-end features at Avra are definitely one of the biggest draws for buyers. Gourmet kitchens with granite countertops, beech or oak wood veneer cabinetry and stainlesssteel appliances will suit any chef. Some homes include an integrated workstation; a convenient touch for those who work at home or study. The bathrooms are soothing and luxurious, with their own elegant cabinets, marble slab countertops and backsplash and a bathtub fit for a spa. The Kuzco chrome-finish wall sconce puts everyone in the best light, and is complemented by the framed silver vanity mirror and sleek ceramic tile tub and shower surround. “There’s a great architectural vision and design here,� Tsakumis says. “We are very confident in the product we’ve built. It’s
affordable luxury.� Avra is perfectly located to take advantage of the amenities on offer in White Rock. The building is moments away from shopping at Semiahmoo Shopping Centre and other local boutiques, as well as dining, services, leisure and recreation. You’re also situated near excellent schools, including Semiahmoo Secondary with its International Baccalaureate program. That school has been a major draw for families looking for the best education for their children, Tsakumis says. Perhaps best of all, you’re just minutes from the White Rock waterfront. Because of this, the views from your new home and its floorto-ceiling windows are simply incredible.

Once Upon A Child goes gold Once Upon A Child has been recognized for achieving a ‘gold standard’ measurement. The gold standard is reached when a store achieves a set of standards set forth by the franchisor during the evaluation process. “Being recognized as a Gold Standard store is a very significant accomplishment, but even more, it means we’re succeeding in providing our
customers the best shopping experience possible,” said Duncan Mussbacher, owner of Once Upon A Child in Langley. The store resells gently-used children’s items. “Portraying a standardized look and maintaining a high level of experience for my customers helps ensure a consistent brand appearance, which in turn contributes to a more positive shopping
experience. By reaching the Gold Standard, we’re helping create an identity that customers recognize and value.” “We are very proud to recognize the Langley location for reaching their goals and contributing to the Once Upon A Child overall mission to deliver the best brand experience in the industry,” said Susan Baustian, director of Once Upon A Child.

working hours would benefit benefit both workers and society as more time would be spent with family and community. Employers scoffed at their claims and rejected their demands. At the time it was a crime to be member of a union in Canada yet in a courageous act of defiance, the Toronto Typographical Union went on strike to secure the nine-hour workday. A parade was held which drew some 10,000 spectators. The workers went on strike. Many lost their job and were forced to relocate.

‘conspiracy’ to have 24 members of the movement arrested and jailed. On June 14, 1872 Macdonald passed the Trade Union Act that legalized union activity, freed the workers and endeared him to the working class. The Toronto printers strike paved the way for unions across North America to demand a 54-hour workweek. Canadian trade unionists have ever since, celebrated this day that has been set aside to honor ‘those who labour.’ The first Labour Day parade was held in Winnipeg in 1894, and was two miles long.

Despite the name, many Canadians don’t labour much on Labour Day. Rather, the federal holiday pays homage to working men and women, and has done so since 1894. Most people associate Labour Day with a chance to gather with family and friends for one last summer hurrah. The last big travel weekend of the summer, Labour Day weekend witnesses many Canadians taking to the roads in search of their final adventure before school begins anew or business returns to normal hours after the relaxed summer season. Rural destinations typically notice a spike in tourism come Labour Day weekend. Savvy travelers know to plan ahead before embarking on a Labour Day weekend getaway. A major weekend for tourism, Labour Day weekend finds hundreds of cars on the roadways, all heading to similar destinations. Sitting in stop-and-go traffic is often the bane of anyone looking to relax on the last summer weekend of the year. It also can be taxing on a car. It is essential to have your car, van or truck inspected to be sure it’s in proper working order. It pays to have an oil change and to have fluid levels topped off. Also, have tires checked and the pressure adjusted. Although many people like to get a jump-start on travel plans by leaving early, this practice has grown more commonplace, so leaving early no longer guarantees less traffic. One way to beat traffic is to do the majority of your driving in the evening. And because the scores of vacationers will be rushing back for work and school in time for Tuesday morning, you may want to consider leaving very early Labour Day morning or the night prior to beat the traffic home. Doing so means planning the majority of your festivities for the weekend instead of Labour Day itself. Because Labour Day is a recognized holiday, bank and government offices will be closed. Some stores or restaurants may be working on holiday hours, as will public transportation. Knowing this in advance can help you plan accordingly. Despite Labour Day being a holiday in both Canada and the United States, border points between the countries will still be staffed. Therefore, if you’re traveling between the two countries, be sure to have all proper documentation with you and at the ready. Labour Day is a time to relax and enjoy the end of summer. Plan ahead so it can be a fun time for all.

Fascinating back story for Pagoda Ridge golf course Course’s official opening tied in with owner’s 80th birthday FRANK BUCHOLTZ Times Reporter
The Pagoda Ridge golf course, which had its official opening on Aug. 17, one year after opening for business, has a fascinating back story. The back story became obvious during the official opening, which was timed to tie in with owner Lyall Brown’s 80th birthday. The Brown family were longtime residents of the Fleetwood area of Surrey and for many years operated a sawmill in Port Kells. In 1979, Lyall and Verna Brown bought 160 acres at the top of the 264 Street hill, above Glen Valley. While it was a long-term investment, it was also a popular gathering spot for the Browns, their children and grandchildren and many family friends. Stories of campfires, walks in the forest and Lyall Brown’s flying escapades (he has owned and flown fixed-wing aircraft and a helicopter, and installed an airstrip on the property) were shared at the opening event. A movie featuring Burt Reynolds was shot on the property as well.
In 1992, they received permission to put a golf course on the property — but it was a long-term project. Lyall, who loves to use all types of machinery, had started clearing the heavily-forested property in 1988. Over the years, he built a long wall in the midst of the property. Today, it is one of the centrepieces of the golf course. It is modelled on the Great Wall of China. The Browns also built a replica Chinese junk, using wood from their mill. That greets visitors today as they pull in, and is used as a concession area, as it sits where the 9th and 18th holes connect to the parking area. The Browns discussed the golf course idea for years, with son Larry, who is now the general manager, among the most enthusiastic. Friends contributed ideas on a possible layout, and the Browns had their own ideas, but one of the most fascinating ideas was to have the 10th hole extend right to the edge of the hill. There is a fantastic, signature view across Glen Valley, the Fraser River and onto various levels of hills and mountains north of the river. Once seen, it is not soon forgotten. There was one problem with the idea to have the hole there — part of it was on neighbouring property. The idea sunk in with Lyall Brown though, and he bought the adjoining five acres to make the hole a reality. Several years ago, work on the course

Several hundred friends and family members came to the course on Aug. 17 to wish Lyall a happy birthday, tour the course and remember days gone by. The four Brown children, Larry, Lenny,

‘I just wanted a medal’ GARY AHUJA Times Sports
For Georgia Ellenwood, it was all about the medal. “I remember thinking I didn’t even care about a PB (personal best), I just wanted a medal,” she said. And it was mission accomplished for the 18-year-old as Ellenwood captured the bronze medal in the heptathlon over the weekend at the Pan-American junior championships in Medellin, Colombia. The championships are for track and field athletes ages 19 and under. She did manage a personal best, scoring 5,493 points, which was 32 points better than her previous best. Her latest score also ranks her 10th in the world junior rankings and third on the all-time Canadian junior list. The gold and silver went to Cuba’s Yusleidys Mendieta Valasquez and the United States’ Kendell Williams, who scored 5,627 points and 5,572 points, respectively. “It was kind of surreal,” Ellenwood said. “I was standing on the podium, thinking this is the first time I have been up here (at an international event) in front of all these people. “And looking at the athletes next to me, I was thinking these girls are what I used to look up to and now I am standing right next to them. “That was a really cool experience.” This was Ellenwood’s third time representing Canada.

AthElite, Cascades take titles
Athelite and the Fraser Valley Cascades were the respective winners of the men’s and women’s divisions at the ninth annual Hoopfest basketball tournament. The event, organized by Centrecourt, was held at the Langley Events Centre on Aug. 17 and 18. In the men’s final, it was Athelite holding off the Trinity Western Spar-
tans 91-80 to win the title. Athelite had come second at the 2012 event. AthElite’s Andrew Sturgeon was named most valuable player while the Spartans’ Denny McDonald and Mark Perrin, as well as Colin Plumb (El Swampo) and Diego Kapelan (Runnin’ Rebels) earned all-star awards. In the women’s final, the Cascades hammered the Douglas College Roy-
als 79-31. The Cascades’ Sarah Wierks earned MVP honours. Her teammate Katie Brink, as well as the Royals’ Simran Bir and Kenny Whitney, earned all-star awards. Denise Busayong (Falcons) and Jessica Jazzdarehee (2Legit2Quit) were also picked to the all-star team. Altogether, nine men’s teams and
four women’s teams took part in the event. This year’s event also marked a new initiative, as for every successful three-point shot, Centrecourt donated $1 to KidSport Langley. Altogether, 355 shots were made over the 30 games for a total of $355. And Basketball BC announced they would match the donation, bringing the total to $710.

Furious Rams rally falls short
Langley scores 28 fourth-quarter points but comes up short in 29-28 defeat
CONTEST
Grandparent’s Day is September 8!
GARY AHUJA Times Sports
The Langley Rams had the chance to pull off a miraculous fourth-quarter comeback only to watch as a 51-yard field goal attempt came up short on the final play of the game. The missed kick, which netted them a single point, was not enough, as the Rams lost 29-28 to the host Okanagan Sun on Saturday night at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl. Both teams are now 4-1 in the B.C. Junior Football Conference. Okanagan could be 5-0 as they are waiting on a ruling for their appeal after having their first game of the season forfeited after it was deemed they used an ineligible player. “Hopefully it gives the guys some hunger,” said Langley coach Ted Kirby. “We played 15 minutes. It’s like the bus showed up, ready to go but the players were left behind.”

Mydske named league’s top defender once again GARY AHUJA Times Sports
Another year, another trophy for Langley Thunder’s Brett Mydske. Mydske was named the Western Lacrosse Association’s defender of the year, the second straight season he has picked up the Gord Nicholson Trophy. The 25-year-
old from New Westminster was announced as the winner on Monday afternoon. In 2011, he was the WLA’s unsung hero award winner. “It is a nice compliment to get after a season,” he said. As he was after winning the award in 2012, Mydske was very humble,
saying that the award was a product of the Thunder’s team defence and he was just one part of it. He was also surprised to win the award, given the fact that towards the end of the regular season, Mydske was playing more on the offensive end of the floor for the Thunder. That trend has continued into the

playoffs. The Thunder trail their best-of-seven WLA championship series against the Victoria Shamrocks, 3-2, with Langley needing a win in Victoria on Aug. 29 to force a seventh and deciding game. Mydske scored once in the team’s 11-8 loss on Aug. 25 at the Langley Events Centre. It was his seventh goal in nine playoff goals. Even more remarkable is that he has scored his goals on just a dozen shots, a shooting percentage of .583. By comparison, Mydske has nine career WLA goals in 66 regular season games on 43 shots, a .209 shooting percentage. “I don’t mind playing offence, but I feel more comfortable on defence,” Mydske said. And that change in position just shows

The Rams lost despite outgaining the Sun 452 yards to 359 but were done in by three turnovers — two interceptions and a fumble — as well as turning the ball over on downs once at the Okanagan 15-yard line.

On the defensive side of the ball, Tanner Hamade and Joe Lester each had an interception and Nate De Rappard-Scott and Alex Agnoletto had a quarterback sack apiece. Despite the loss, Kirby was proud of how his team kept battling, despite the lopsided score early in the fourth quarter. “They didn’t give up,” he

Kirby also knows there would be pitfalls over the course of a season, even after a 4-0 start that saw Langley outscore its foes by an average of 39 points per game. “Any team, it is pretty hard to go undefeated, no matter the league,” he said. “Hopefully we learn from this.” The Rams now have two weeks to stew over their loss, as they have a bye this weekend.

CAR CARE & REPAIR
Reduce Fuel Consumption Reducing fuel costs is foremost on the minds of many drivers. For instance, safe drivers are likely to spend less on auto insurance than drivers with a history of traffic violations or accidents, while drivers who purchase a vehicle with a high safety rating will likely spend less to insure that vehicle than they would a sports car. There are many ways drivers can spend less on fuel, helping them save money and helping the environment along the way. Making a vehicle more efficient is a great way to save money at the pump. A few minor adjustments is all it takes to make a car more efficient and save drivers, regardless of their mechanical inclinations, money at the filling station. • Adequately inflate tires. Tires that are not properly inflated increase drag on a vehicle, which then consumes more fuel to operate at full capacity. Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure your car isn't working harder than it needs to be. • Clear out the trunk. A car filled with clutter is carrying unnecessary weight, making it harder for the car to accelerate and consuming more
fuel than it should. • Open the windows at lower speeds. Air conditioning consumes lots of fuel, and many auto experts suggest rolling down the windows when driving at lower speeds. When you begin driving a little faster, roll the windows up and turn on the air conditioning to reduce drag. • Fill 'er up! Many drivers avoid filling up their tank when visiting the gas station for fear that filling up the tank makes the car heavier, decreasing the vehicle's fuel efficiency as a result. While that may be true, drivers who don't fill up make more trips to the filling station, and those trips can waste fuel. In addition, when the gas cap is removed from your vehicle, vaporized gas escapes from the tank, so opening the cap more frequently allows more vaporized gas to escape. • Pay for gas with a card that rewards you with cash for making purchases. While using a cash-back credit card won't reduce your fuel consumption, it will earn you some money back on your fuel purchases. • Don't pay more for fuel your car won't utilize. Some drivers might feel as though putting a high-
octane fuel in their vehicles will improve the vehicle's performance. But that's not the case. A high-octane fuel in a car that's built for a low-octane fuel won't improve the car's performance or its gas mileage. • Driving habits can also impact how much fuel you're consuming. They can be hard to change, but drivers who start driving with a mind toward safety and reducing fuel consumption can take steps to do just that. • Don't accelerate too quickly. Rapid acceleration consumes more fuel. When accelerating, do so gradually. • Don't speed. A car traveling at 60 miles per hour uses 20 percent less fuel than a vehicle traveling at 75 miles per hour. Toxic emissions, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides, also increase when vehicles travel more than 60 miles per hour. Reducing fuel consumption is a goal for environmentalists and drivers alike. There are several ways drivers can help their vehicle consume less fuel and benefit the planet at the same time.
