Beating victim didn’t defend self, says witness COURT HEARS CHRIS LAFRENIER WAS PUNCHED AND KICKED BY PAIR OF ATTACKERS IN 2014 M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

“I thought he was dead,” said a Langley City woman who witnessed a 39-year-old man being badly beaten in November 2014.

The woman, Ms. Horvac, took the stand in the trial of Matthew Samms, 19, who is charged with robbery and assault in connection to a beating near the Langley bus loop that seriously injured a Fernridge man on his way home from work.

Samms has pleaded not guilty and his trial began in Surrey Provincial Court on Wednesday.

A 15-year-old also charged in this case pleaded guilty to assault and robbery in February and was sentenced in March. His name was not released because he is classified as a young offender.

It was Saturday, Nov. 29, 2014, when Chris Lafrenier, then 39, had finished work and was supposed to be catching another

bus at around midnight to his Fernridge home.

He was waiting at the Logan Avenue bus exchange, when it is alleged two teens got into an altercation with him.

Police responded to several 911 calls and located Lafrenier just south of the 7-Eleven store on 203 Street.

He was face down in a pool of his own blood, not moving. It was later learned that the assault had left him with a bro-

ken nose and a chipped tooth.

He needed stitches to close wounds on his head and had suffered a brain injury.

A description of the suspects was given to police and the two accused teens were arrested a short time later.

Statements of fact in the trial indicate that forensics identified the victim’s blood on Samms shoes and jeans.

More than $10,000 was raised for beating victim From Page 1

CURTIS KR EKLAU Special to Th e Time s

Langley Township firefighters were called to extinguish a grass fire in the 8400 block of 200 Street just before midnight Tuesday.

A few hours later, another grass fire threatened Derby Reach Park. The fires were likely started by human activity.

Fires threaten North Langley neighbourhood and park MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

As residents slept nearby, flames consumed a grassy field, off 200 Street late Tuesday night.

Township firefighters were called to the grass fire in the 8400 block of 200 Street, just before midnight.

“The flames were shooting 10 feet in the air and the fire spread 50 feet,” said

Township assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson. Three engines were brought out to knock down the flames, which were getting closer to the Pharmasave head office building.

But firefighters got the blaze under control well before that. Firefighters were on scene for around three hours putting out hot spots. Given the time of night, the fire was likely caused by a

tossed cigarette or some other smoking material.

At 8 a.m. Wednesday, Township fire was called out again for a grass fire, this time in Derby Reach Regional Park.

A tree had caught fire, said Ferguson.

Fire crews managed to put out the blaze in 45 minutes. Derby Reach campers are still only permitted to have propane fires, said Ferguson.

Suspect sought in sexual assault M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

Langley RCMP have released a sketch of a suspect wanted for a sexual assault against a gas station employee.

Around 8 p.m., the suspect walked into the gas station in the 19800 block of Fraser Highway on Aug. 9. The victim said he appeared to be intoxicated and

came up behind the employee as she ate her dinner.

He touched her inappropriately, which qualifies as a sexual assault, said police. She was able to push him away and he fled on foot.

Police Dog Services was unable to assist due to time delay in reporting the event to police.

The male is described as South

Asian, in his mid-20s, with brown hair (similar to Elvis’ style), brown eyes and a goatee, approximately 5’6” tall, 155 lbs., wearing jeans and a dark blue shirt with stripes.

He was carrying a black backpack.

Anyone with information is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

A S S A ULT S U S P EC T

Samms was expected to take the stand in his own defense. Lafrenier was also expected to take the stand on Thursday after The Times’ press deadline.

On Wednesday, Samms’ defense lawyer, Bill Jessop, suggested that the 15-year-old was the aggressor and that Samms tried to pull him off Lafrenier at one point.

A witness who was watching TV just before midnight inside her second-storey apartment across from the Army & Navy, near the 7-Eleven in Langley City, testified that she looked out her window when she heard yelling.

She saw two young men, one blonde the other brown-haired, pushing and punching an older male who was wearing a safety vest.

She testified that once she determined that this wasn’t just horse play, but a beating, she called 911.

She described how the two young men punched and kicked him. His face was bleeding and his hands were up in attempt to protect himself.

“He didn’t fight back,” she testified. “I felt sorry for the victim.”

He fell onto the ground, and the teens appeared to walk away, she said.

They continued to yell, but she had her window closed and couldn’t hear what anyone was saying.

The youths returned when the victim attempted to get up and fell back down again, she said.

They kicked him in the head and back repeatedly, she testified. The victim was in the fetal position trying to protect his head. She said they appeared to be wearing work boots.

When asked if she thought the younger one was the aggressor, she responded that from what she saw they were both participating in the beating. She did agree the younger male did kick the victim more times than the older teen.

The trial continued on Thursday.

A few days after The Times wrote about the attack on Lafrenier and how his injuries prevented him from returning to work to pay his rent, there was an outpouring of support from the community.

More than $10,000 was raised on a Gofundme. com account set up by his mother-in-law.

Soccer coach sentenced for 16 Ave. crash DRIVER WILL AP PE AL V ER DICT IN JANUARY 2012 COLLISION ON BUSY LANGLEY ROAD DA N FERGU SO N L an g l ey Ti m e s

Surrey Provincial Court judge Robert Hamilton made the comments before he sentenced Jean Jacques Bosco to 60 days in jail for the crash that injured Surrey resident Karen Linda Gulbranson on Jan. 14, 2012.

A transcript of the

An Abbotsford resident who caused a head-on collision on 16 Avenue in Langley was described as both a “passionate and highly-skilled soccer instructor” and someone with an “unenviable driving record.”

May 21, 2015 sentencing hearing was recently posted online by the Provincial Court of BC website.

Judge Hamilton also described Bosco as “an accomplished, law-abiding and contributing member of society.”

“Subject to what

I will say about his driving record, there is nothing negative or incriminating to speak of in Mr. Bosco’s background,” the judge added.”

Bosco was driving eastbound on 16 Avenue heading home to Abbotsford from his soccer academy in Vancouver when the crash occurred under icy and slippery conditions near 240 Street in Langley Township.

As described at the hearing, Bosco was following another vehicle on the two-lane stretch of road when the other driver slammed on the brakes.

To avoid a collision, Bosco pulled his vehicle into oncoming traffic and passed the braking vehicle.

He passed three other eastbound vehicles

before he hit the westbound Gulbranson vehicle at the crest of the blind hill near the 240 Street intersection.

Gulbranson suffered what were described by judge Hamilton as “life-altering injuries.”

There was no evidence Bosco was speeding or that alcohol was involved, the judge said.

But while Bosco has no criminal record, in the nine years before the crash he managed to rack up 11 “separate and related convictions for driving offences,” including six speeding violations and five dangerous or unsafe driving convictions.

His last speeding conviction was recorded a month before the head-on crash.

While Bosco’s driv-

ing record “is not the worst that we see in these courts,” judge Hamilton said, it appeared the multiple driving convictions did not have a deterrent effect.

The prosecution wanted six months in jail and a lengthy driving ban.

The defence was arguing for an absolute discharge, because a criminal record would almost certainly prevent Bosco from continuing his soccer academy with children.

While that would “negatively affect a large body of children who would no longer be able to learn soccer from Mr. Bosco” the judge said a fit sentence had to include jail time and inevitably leave Bosco with a

criminal record.

In addition to his conviction for dangerous driving, Bosco also failed to show up for an Aug. 20, 1013 court appearance, which led to his arrest and spending six days in jail.

The judge allowed Bosco to serve his 60day sentence a weekend at a time to allow him to continue with his soccer coaching.

He also imposed a two-year driving ban.

The judge also gave Bosco enhanced credit of nine days for the time already served for missing his court appearance, reducing the sentence to 51 days.

By email, Bosco declined a Times invitation to comment on the case, saying the verdict is being appealed.

Bicycles seem to be a hot ticket item for thieves this summer in Langley.

Numerous bikes have been stolen all over Langley.

The Times reported that a special needs girl had her bike stolen a couple weeks ago after it was chained up at her Murrayville townhouse.

The thief came back the next morning and was caught in the act of attempting to take more bicycles from the complex.

A couple visiting from Alberta had their high-end bikes taken from their vehicle while they watched a movie at the Langley Cineplex theatre (formerly Colossus) last month.

On Aug. 3, a black GT Traffic 4.0 touring bike was stolen from a garage in a gated complex in Walnut Grove. That bike is worth around $500.

Police have also recovered a number of stolen bikes lately.

Langley grandmother has plenty of heart FOLLOWING A HEART ATTACK AT 81, AVID WALKER ETHEL GODDARD URGES WOMEN OF ALL AGES TO KEEP FIT MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Last year, Ethel Goddard got herself a Fitbit to track just how far she was walking each week.

Turns out the 81-year-old Langley resident covers around 45 kilometres a week while enjoying Langley’s beautiful parks with her two dogs.

“I take the dogs one and a half hours of steady walking each day,” said Goddard. “I never go to the same park two days in a row. In Langley, there are so many to enjoy.”

On May 6, Goddard’s daughter, Jill Spavor, decided to use her lunch break and join her mom, this time at Williams Park.

Little did the spry senior suspect she was going to have a major heart attack that day.

Goddard said she remembers saying goodbye to her daughter at the end of the walk and heading toward the parking lot. Suddenly she felt like she was going to throw up, then began to sweat profusely.

“I kind of slumped over on a bench there. A park worker saw me and she ran over and was holding me while calling 911,” said Goddard.

She said she’d had no signs or symptoms prior to having the heart attack.

Spavor said she ran back to her mom, whose condition was deteriorating fast.

“That parks employee called 911 for me and provided support while waiting for the paramedics to arrive,” said Spavor.

An electrocardiogram on site revealed Goddard was having an acute heart attack. That helped paramedics determine she needed to bypass the local hospital and be taken directly to Fraser Health’s only tertiary cardiac care centre at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster.

When the paramedics left Williams Park with Goddard, the park employee ran to catch Tilley — Goddard’s King Charles spaniel — which had chased after the ambulance.

“My family would like to say a huge thank you for her assistance, compassion and support,” said Spavor about the Township parks employee,

whose name they didn’t get.

The ambulance made it to RCH in under 25 minutes.

An interventional cardiology team was waiting for her and an angiogram quickly identified the blockage.

RCH cardiologist Dr. Gerald Simkus said the cardiac centre is where they are making real strides in saving lives, but time is of the essence when it comes to major heart attacks.

“The larger the heart attack, the more important it is to open up the artery as soon as you can to help prevent damage to the heart muscle,” said Simkus.

Goddard doesn’t think she would have survived had it not been for the expertise of the paramedics in properly diagnosing her condition and the skill of the doctors at the cardiac centre.

“They had to zap me a couple times because they couldn’t establish a rhythm on my heart,” she said.

Goddard stayed in hospital for four days — all the while itching to get home and back to her active lifestyle.

“I don’t make a very good patient. I don’t like lying around,” she laughed.

On Aug. 18, “Granny” Goddard turned 81. She reports that she is almost 100 per cent back to her regular self and gets out every day to walk, rain or shine.

The former Vancouver General nurse credits her active lifestyle for doing so well after a major heart attack.

“Women should not stop exercising.

“They have to keep fit,” said Goddard who is waiting to get the OK from her cardiologist to get back into the Township’s Fit4Life program.

Her story also made it into the RCH Foundation newsletter after the head of cardiology for Fraser Health approached her recently and asked if her story could be shared.

In the meantime, the whole family has written letters of thanks to the Township parks department, fire department, B.C. Ambulance Services and the cardiac care centre at RCH for saving her life.

Drought causing stress for trees throughout Township LANGLEY PARKS STAFF ONLY ALLOWED TO HAND-WATER UNDER CURRENT RESTRICTIONS DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

The current hot and dry weather has been hard on some of the 20,000 Langley trees that are the responsibility of the Township parks department.

They are showing signs of stress, shedding leaves, cones and needles in higher-than normal amounts.

But it’s too soon to tell if the trees are suffering actual harm or will simply rebound once the weather gets wetter, said Al Neufeld, the Township manager of parks design and development.

“It will probably be a year before the full effect of this drought on the trees is known,” Neufeld said.

The Township started watering trees a month earlier than usual in June because of the unseasonably hot spring weather.

Under the current conservation restrictions imposed by the Metro Vancouver regional authority, parks staffers are only allowed to water trees by hand.

They’ve been concentrating their efforts on newly-planted trees that have been in the ground less than two years.

Some new trees are getting green plastic “gator” bags wrapped around their base that are designed to slowly soak water into the roots.

Older trees, with more established roots, don’t require as much help, but there are exceptions.

Recently, in response to a resident’s concerns, parks staff visited a stand of unique heritage redwood trees on 96 Avenue and watered 38 of them.

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Some Township-planted trees were shedding leaves along 96 Avenue, an apparent sign of stress due to the current drought. Township crews are only allowed to hand-water trees, and they are concentrating their efforts on the ones that were planted most recently.

The redwood trees were planted in 1909 and are protected under a special covenant imposed by council in 1990.

A report by parks staff said the redwood trees have been show-

ing signs of stress for about 10 years now.

It suggested nearby development may have lowered the water table for the century-old trees.

Private jobs fall, self-employment up The unemployment rate in B.C. held steady at six per cent in July, with a reduction in private-sector jobs offset by increased public sector employment and self-employment.

BC Stats reported that private sector employment fell by 4,500 jobs from June, while private sector jobs grew by 1,800 and the number of self-employed rose by 2,100. Compared to July 2014, self-employment was up by 9,800 while private sector employment was down 8,300.

B.C.’s unemployment rate tied with Alberta for third lowest in the country in July. Saskatchewan was lowest with 5.2 per cent and Manitoba second lowest at 5.8 per cent, compared with a national rate of 6.8 per cent.

B.C.’s commodity exports increased 9.1 per cent in June, with increases in forestry products, farm and fishing products and energy. Exports were up 12.8 per cent to the U.S. and 5.1 per cent to the rest of the world.

Despite daily news coverage of wildfires burning in B.C.’s interior — where residents have lost homes — and in nearby Washington state —where the cost has been far higher, with the loss of three lives — the message still doesn’t seem to be getting through.

Within an eight-hour period between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, Township firefighters were called to two separate grass fires, both of which had all the hallmarks of having been caused by human activity.

The first fire, which was ignited sometime before midnight on Tuesday, consumed a section of field near homes and businesses along 200 Street.

The other, discovered early the following morning, had the potential to destroy one of Langley’s most picturesque parks — Derby Reach.

Luckily, in both cases, the fires were spotted quickly and Township crews were able to extinguish them before much damage could be done.

But as one the hottest and driest summers on record draws to a close, the potential for devastation remains extreme. And while we hope the stretch of rain forecast for the coming week will help to reduce the risk, this is hardly the time to become complacent.

Langley’s most recent brushes with disaster come amid reports that campers at Harrison Lake, where more than 1,300 hectares recently burned, were not only ignoring the ongoing campfire ban, but (get this) actually setting off fireworks in the midst of the tinder dry forest.

While this assertion, if true, certainly takes the prize for moronic behaviour, that still doesn’t excuse casual carelessness — whether it’s the flick of a cigarette out a car window onto a street or dropping a butt in a parking lot.

No, pavement isn’t flammable, but all it takes is an accidental kick or a light breeze to roll a glowing cigarette butt into a parched ditch or onto a dusty boulevard and the rest could be history.

A lot on the line they

The deaths of three firefighters in Washington state are a reminder of how much these brave people are putting on the line, on both sides of the border.

Last Wednesday, three U.S. Forest Service firefighters died after their vehicle crashed and was likely caught by flames as they battled the Okanogan complex of fires near the town of Twisp. Four other firefighters were injured including one that was taken to hospital in critical condition.

They were on the initial attack, trying to stop a fire before it could threaten nearby communities — in some cases, their hometown.

Firefighters know how dangerous their jobs can be, whether it is day-to-day operations of our local department or forestry service crews battling major wildfires.

But it’s so very easy for the public to take their work for granted, and it’s stunning when such a tragedy happens.

Considering the level of danger, it is amazing that relatively few are lost.

Evacuees from the Rock Creek blaze and other fires also are dealing with their personal adversity in loss of homes and livelihoods or the uncertainty of not yet knowing what has been lost.

But we who aren’t directly exposed to the fires, complaining about the smoke and ash in the air, and the other inconveniences brought on by fires burning in our region and south of the border, might imagine the risk is small.

The deaths of Tom Zbyszewski, Rick Wheeler and Andrew Zajac show us how great the risk firefighters face is, and continues to be for the thousands of firefighters battling blazes in B.C. and Washington.

As you read this, they are still digging in with shovels and axes in searing heat and choking smoke, struggling against so many fires it is hard to keep track.

We extend our thanks to these brave men and women who are putting their lives in front of wildfires to protect people and property from devastation and death.

More 16 Ave. lights would affect Zero Editor: There would be few who would disagree with Peter Thiessen (The Times, Aug. 19) for the need, in the short-term, of more traffic lights on 16 Avenue to ensure safer crossings for all who travel in south Langley, including the increasing cyclist traffic.

During the development of the Township’s cycling plan in 2013, the Greater Langley Cycling Coalition lobbied for 248 Street being the designated north-south route instead of 240, as suggested by the transportation engineers, not because of 248 being the easier or more heavily used cyclist route, but because of the plans for traffic light installation at 16 Avenue.

I have witnessed many near cyclist-vehicular crashes at crossings of 16 Avenue,

especially at the 224, 240 and 256 Streets, heavily used by cyclists, who often underestimate the speed of traffic, which consistently exceeds posted speed limits.

The concern the cyclist community has with the installation of more traffic signals on 16 Avenue is the impact it will have on moving even more traffic off 16 Avenue onto Zero Avenue, as more drivers will seek a less regulated east-west travel route.

Zero Avenue is arguably the second-busiest cycling route in Langley and besides the busy and unpleasant 16 Avenue, the only direct east-west connector across Langley between Surrey and Abbotsford.

Much of this cycling traffic travels north into the central and north Langley areas.

The increasing congestion on 16 Avenue

Time to put more water pressure on the Township

is pushing more traffic onto Zero Avenue, which, while designated as a collector route on the Township’s Transportation Plan, is being treated as an arterial route.

The posted speed limit of 50 km/hr, limited speed enforcement and the low profile, low number speed platforms on Zero Avenue are not doing much to regulate speed for the safety of the cyclists and agricultural traffic.

Planning for additional traffic lights on 16 Avenue needs to include, in consultation with the local agricultural industry, plans for the bolstering of higher and more speed bumps along Zero Avenue, as recommended by the consultant in 2003.

This infrastructure development is needed to make Zero Avenue less attractive to

Editor: Re: City ‘bark park’ a dog’s nightmare for neighbour (The Times, Aug. 21).

I have been frequenting the new Linwood off-leash dog park in the evenings since it was opened in April, 2015.

I challenge John Saxon’s assertions that the park is an opportunity for “party time” by dog owners and their pets using the park.

I cannot recall a single incident where a person or a dog has been in contravention of any City bylaws. Participants scrupulously follow the posted rules at the entrance gate.

According to Mr. Saxon, however, the noise is nonstop. I am not suggesting there is not some noise, but it is quite normal given that this is a public park, adjacent to a children’s playground.

Even the City contradicts Mr. Saxon’s assertions in regards to the planning and construction of the park. I suspect Mr. Saxon doesn’t want the park across the road,

Thanks for taking lead on well water Editor: I would like to thank the Township of Langley mayor and council and the engineering department.

We just received a copy of the Township of Langley “well water awareness” information sheet, explaining that well water users also have to be aware of water shortages and suggestions to conserve water.

Thank you again for being one of the leading communities that are taking action to protect our environment, which water is a main source.

Editor: After repeated calls to the Township about my neighbour’s yard watering (using a sprinkler system) I was informed, “Unless we catch them, there is nothing we can do.”

Huh? A perfectly green yard isn’t clue enough?

His system goes on every day. His yard is perfect and has regular lawn cuttings. If there is no penalty unless we are caught then why not water?

Because it is wrong and there should be a penalty for doing so. I think there should be pressure put on the Township to stop it.

KAREN SCOTT,

Editor: Am I being paranoid or just observant of all levels of government here?

They are planning an access to Highway 1 at 216 Street because, no matter what or who opposes the rezoning of the ALR east of there, they will prevail.

Is it part of their master intent to suck up to corporate developers and real estate companies? They know they have the resources and power to eventually override the concerns of the majority.

Mark my words, it will happen.

JEFF LAURIE,

those who would use it to get around the more regulated 16 Avenue route, further endangering the more vulnerable users of this route.

Currently there is no route identified by the B.C. Ministry of Transport of a bike route in the South Abbotsford-Langley-Surrey corridor. Cyclists off the TransCanada are routed north over the Mission Bridge, onto Lougheed Hwy. As cycling tourism grows, a more practical route needs to be developed for the southern Lower Mainland. Both 16 Avenue and Zero Avenue could serve this purpose very well.

JOHN EVANOCHKO,

period, and is simply making these allegations to try and legitimize his position.

The same cannot be said for some of the vehicles parked in proximity to the park where the louder the muffler noise, the more macho the car. For some reason, there was no mention of this in the article.

The City of Langley should be commended for providing such a convenient and needed facility such as Linwood Park and the neighbouring private vegetable gardens. Formerly, Linwood Park was a magnet for drug dealers and prostitutes and a constant problem for authorities.

I would suggest that Mr. Saxon consider acquiring a pet dog of his own.

Properly cared for, it will provide loyal companionship and he will make a lot of new friends who will be pleased to share in his experience.

Off-leash park location not fair to neighbours

DAN FER GUS ON L an gley Tim es

A beagle enjoys a romp at a Langley off-leash park. Response to Langley City resident John Saxon’s complaint about noise from the City’s new dog run in Linwood Park has been mixed. Some residents agree the park has created a nuisance, with more traffic coming to the area, while others say owners are following the rules.

Editor: Regarding the Linwood off leash dog park, we have every sympathy for John Saxon.

We live around the corner from the park and are less affected, but have undergone this kind of noise abuse in the past at a different location with neighboring dogs.

We have lived at this location for 10 years and have always enjoyed the quiet here. Now people are bringing their dogs here in cars and trucks. We have two small dogs of our own, but this is not fair to our neighbourhood. We don’t use the park ourselves and have no need for the noise and traffic.

Province’s forest stewardship plans failing briefs

Low interest rates, a low dollar and recovering demand in the U.S. will help the Vancouver and southern B.C region’s export and service industries

most this year, said Bryan Yu, senior economist with the trade association for B.C. credit unions.

Manufacturing, tourism, TV and film and

agriculture are expected to lead the way.

Slow global demand, particularly from China, is expected to dampen growth in northern B.C. and

the Kootenays, where mining and resources are key drivers.

“Northern B.C. is poised to grow at a faster rate in late 2016 onwards with the start

of one liquefied natural gas terminal and pipeline, the Site C dam and other major projects,” Yu said.

While B.C. residents working in the oil

sands are at greater risk, low oil prices are generally positive for the B.C. economy, with lower costs for businesses and consumers.

Black Press

The B.C. government’s forest stewardship plans for Crown land are unenforceable, lack measurable results and are not producing innovative forest management, according to an investigation by the Forest Practices Board.

The board reviewed 43 stewardship plans from all regions of B.C., prepared under provincial law by tenure holders including forest companies and communities.

There has been “no improvement” in problems identified by a similar review in 2006, said Forest Practices board chair Tim Ryan.

“We are recommending that government not renew or approve any forest stewardship plans that don’t meet the standards set out in the Forest and Range Practices Act,” Ryan said.

The investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very difficult for public understanding or review.”

The five-year plans are supposed to be approved after measurable and verifiable results and strategies are established and public input is obtained.

Many have been extended without further public review and more are due for extension or renewal in the next year, the board says.

The board conducts independent investigations of Crown forest licences. Its reports and results of the latest province-wide investigation can bee found at www.bcfpb. ca.

Southern B.C. to lead growth B.C.’s economy will grow at a “modest” 2.7 per cent this year, then accelerate above three per cent as major projects in northern B.C. get going in late 2016, according to the latest forecast by Central 1 Credit Union.

Backpacks with good karma “It actually was the Toms shoes that inspired the idea for the backpacks.”

For every pair of Toms shoes sold, a new pair of shoes are provided to a child in an impoverished country.

The name Karma seemed to fit perfectly combined with the ‘Pac’ part of the family business name EduPac Services.

The backpacks come in two different colours and designs, a black and white camo print and a purple pack with black Hamsa hands printed on it.

Leckie came up with a design, found a supplier and named it Karma Pacs.

“With the amount of money many families spend on back to school clothing and shoes, our hope is that a backpack priced at $49 will be a small financial impact to them with a much larger, positive social impact,” she said.

Right now, there is no shipping costs. The more they sell, the more they can give back.

The family business, EduPac Services has been around for 30 successful years. The concept is each school has a list of school supplies required. Instead of parents having to go out and shop for all the different supplies, they can buy those packs of supplies from EduPac Services which delivers to each school, ready for the first day back for students.

It takes the stress off parents who don’t have time or don’t want to shop for all the required supplies. They supply to all the private and Catholic schools, and various public schools around Metro Vancouver, as far as West Van. EduPac Services also has a retail store at 506-20540 Duncan Way. The education superstore is geared for home schooling materials and lots of unique educational toys. The backpacks are available there as well. To learn more about the packs or to order, go to www.karmapac.ca.

KARMA PAC PROCEEDS WILL HELP LESS FORTUNATE FROM AROUND THE PROVINCE MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Local entrepreneur Alicia Leckie has combined fashion with compassion by creating stylish backpacks that will help impoverished students get school supplies.

The backpacks are called Karma Pacs, launched this summer and focused on making a difference in the lives of less fortunate families all over B.C. “We have always done our best to pay for less fortunate family’s school supplies through my local, family business, EduPac Services. The proceeds from the Karma Pacs will allow us to give back so much more,” said the 30-year-old Leckie.

“B.C.’s child poverty rate at 11.3 per cent is the highest in Canada.

This means many students are sent to school without the tools they require to learn which puts them at a disadvantage to succeed in their education.”

While working at the family business EduPac Services, based out of Langley City, they work with schools across B.C. to supply all the required school supplies. In those conversations with principals and direct from parents, they hear about the need for help from families who are struggling.

“We have so many kids in need, I was looking for a way to give back more,” said Leckie.

S u b m i t t e d p hoto

Erin Cebula, Global BC

For each Karma Pac sold by EduPac Services, school supplies will be donated to a child in need across the province.

Grant available to help jump start education savings Household budgets will soon be feeling the pinch from back-to-school spending, but there is some relief in sight for further education or training after the kids finish high school.

The BC Training and Education Savings Program (BCTESP), which became available earlier this month (Aug. 15), will provide $1,200 to eligible children for post-secondary education or training programs.

Although the program was announced earlier in the year, the application process is now open for B.C. parents with children between the ages of six and nine.

“Even if your children are just beginning their school life, you need to start planning on how to finance their post-secondary education or training aspirations,” said Jennifer Flentge, an investment expert with First West Credit Union’s Envision Financial division.

“The BCTESP is just one of several grants available that will really help jump start your education savings.”

In addition to $1,200 from the BCTESP, the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) provides 20 cents on every dollar you contribute, up to a maximum of $500 on an annual contribution of $2,500.

If a person cannot make a contri-

bution in any given year, they may be able to catch up in future years.

Eligible children could receive as much as $7,200 in CESG by the time they graduate high school.

The Canada Learning Bond is another program which provides eligible children with $500 for their RESP right away with an additional $100 each year until the age of 15.

“There are a several options when setting up an RESP and a variety of grants available, so talking things through with an expert will ensure that you get the right plan for your situation and don’t miss out on any available government funds,” Flentge said.

Anyone applying for the BCTESP, CESG or Canada Learning Bond will first need to set up a registered education savings plan (RESP) naming their child as the beneficiary.

Both spouses may contribute to the RESP, but unlike an RRSP, contributions are not tax deductible.

In addition, any government grants or growth from investment of RESP funds is deemed to be income when withdrawn by the beneficiary.

Although these sources are taxable, students are typically in very low tax brackets when withdrawing the funds.

Grants going untouched Families across the province could miss out on $4.7 billion in education grants — an average of $5,600 per child — if current participation and contribution rates continue, warns Vancity Credit Union.

Last year, B.C. parents failed to claim almost $385 million in RESP grants due to low participation rates in the two main grant programs: the Canada Education

Savings Grant had 53 per cent participation and the Canada Learning Bond had 37 per cent.

A breakdown of participation in the Canada Learning Bond by city as of March 31, only 38 per cent of parents in Langley had taken advantage of the incentive.

“Families are missing out on these education grants because they don’t either know about

them or have other budgeting priorities,” said Sophie Salcito, a Vancity investment advisor.

“They need to know that some of the grants don’t require any contributions and are essentially free money, plus they can benefit from other grants even with a small contribution.”

Parents can apply for the grants through participating financial institutions.

Event raises $100K for Basics for Babies program A pair of country music stars from Langley teamed up to help raise $100,000 at their third annual Boys of Fall Charity Golf Tournament.

Chad Brownlee and Dallas Smith served as honoury chairs of the event, which was held on Tuesday (Aug. 18) at Redwoods Golf Course in Langley.

The money raised was in support of the Basics for Babies charity.

“From the bottom of our hearts, the team at Basics for

Babies is so grateful for the $100,000 raised by the boys and this event,” said Basics for Babies’ Terra Lindsay.

One hundred and 44 golfers made their way around the course and nearly 500 more came out for the dinner, auction and concert.

Basics for Babies was created in 1994 by 93.7 JRfm to help deal with a chronic shortage of baby products at Lower Mainland food banks.

With the help of their partners, Basics for Babies has

EXPERIENCE SPACE with world-famous

raised more than $2 million and hundreds of thousands of pounds of diapers, baby food, formula and other items.

The event raised $14,000 in 2013 and $75,000 last year.

Plans for the 2016 event are already underway. Anyone looking to get involved can email info@boysoffallcharity. com. Golf registration and reception tickets will be available in March 2016.

ANNUAL LABOUR DAY PICNIC

BC Fed picnic at Swangard again DAVID BLACK Presiden t, CO PE 378

Come out for a fun, free, family Labour Day celebration on Monday, September 7 at Swangard Stadium (3883 Imperial Street, Burnaby).

The picnic will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There will be free food, activities for kids, information booths, and live music by Chilliwack.

The event is co-sponsored by the BC Federation of Labour, the Vancouver District Labour Council, the New Westminster & District Labour Council, and the Canadian Labour Congress.

Labour Day as a holiday was inspired by trade unions' efforts to improve workers’ rights. Its origins can be traced back to 1872, when the Toronto Trades Assembly organized Canada’s first significant labour demon-

stration, with the goal of securing a nine-hour work day. The strikes proved that there was power in workers standing together; alone, people risked discipline or layoff for drawing attention

to low wages, long hours, or health and safety issues.

Enormous public support and spinoff demonstrations in other cities led Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first Prime Minister, to promise to repeal Canadian laws against trade unions.

With unions no longer outlawed, this led to the 1883 founding of the organization that would become the Canadian Labour Congress.

In 1894, Labour Day was declared a national holiday.

Labour Day is a time to celebrate the many contributions working people, through their unions, make to building communities and a better country. The work unions do today to make life better for workers, their families and communities, is no less important and requires the same type of commitment to standing together.

CUPE 403

Building Our Community Every Day Labour Day is an important time to remember the struggles and achievements of workers.

2015 Labour Day BC’s teachers stand proudly with all workers, determined to protect our quality public services and build a more equitable society for every British Columbian.

A message from the Langley Teachers’ Association, a local of the BC Teachers’ Federation, a social justice union.

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!

Rams’ Daley the centre of attention

GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

Most young football players don’t dream of being offensive linemen.

After all, it’s a position that doesn’t always get much recognition — generally only getting noticed when they commit a holding penalty to wipe out a positive play or they fail to keep the pass rush at bay, resulting in a quarterback sack.

And Anthony Daley was no different, dreaming of being the one toting the football, not the player up front helping create a running lane for someone else.

But with his burgeoning size, he found himself playing along both the offensive and defensive lines.

And with junior football on the horizon, Daley was told to concentrate on one side of the ball and that the offensive line was likely his best option to succeed.

“For the longest time, I wanted to be a fullback; that was my dream position,” Daley admits now.

“I wasn’t happy at first, but I ended up making the switch and it has turned out well and taken me to where I am now.”

And the decision to play along the offensive line is proving to be a good move.

The 22-year-old Daley is a stalwart along the Langley Rams offensive line as the team’s centre.

He was one of head coach Jeff Alamolhoda’s first recruits as the Rams’ head coach, heading west from Winnipeg to join the B.C. Football Conference team.

“Everything I believe is a core value for a football player, Anthony Daley has it,” Alamolhoda said.

“He has been a core foundation of our offensive line and a big part of the success the last four years.

“He didn’t have the intention of coming out here just to make himself great, he had the intention of coming out here and being part of a team and making that team great. And he has.”

Daley was the team’s right tackle in 2011 and moved to centre the following season.

He would win the BCFC’s top offensive lineman award as well as earn both league and all-Canadian all-star status in both 2012 and 2013.

His reign as the league’s top lineman ended last year as he missed about half the season with an ankle injury.

GA RY A HUJ A Langley Time s

Langley Rams’ Anthony Daley (#50) has been a stalwart along the offensive line for the Langley Rams all four seasons he has been with the team.

Daley has also spent the past three seasons practising with the B.C. Lions and he hopes to play professionally as early as next season.

Defensive lineman Alex Agnoletto has lined up against Daley in practice since they both joined the Rams in 2011.

“He is just a big nasty guy and he brings it every single play — practice or game — and you have to be on your toes,” Agnoletto said. “(Anthony) is always going 100 per cent and trying to make everyone around him better. You have to be ready to go when you are up against him.

Daley, who is six-foot-two and 310 pounds, relishes his role, which requires not only blocking and pass protection, but also rec-

“I know I am driven. I just want to work hard and be humble and be the best I can be at what I am doing.”

The work ethic is from his parents.

(My parents) drove that into me from day one — work hard and don’t take things for granted.

“I think I can do anything I put my mind to, but if you had asked me when I started my junior career, I wouldn’t have thought where I am now,” he said.

And where he is now is practising with the B.C. Lions for the past three seasons during the days as a non-counting junior player.

He doesn’t get paid — he is an amateur athlete — but is getting valuable experience and tutelage for what he hopes is a professional career. “(Anthony) has shown he can compete at this level, albeit at practice,” said Neil McEvoy, the Lions director of football operations and player personnel.

Daley also played in both pre-season games for the Lions before the regular season.

Daley on Lions’ radar From Page 21

“He was not overwhelmed by any stretch of the imagination, playing against real, professional athletes,” McEvoy said.

“He is a young guy who still has learning and development to do, but so far, he has passed all his tests.

There is no reason he won’t continue to develop and get better.”

Daley is also relishing the chance to hone and develop his craft with professional players.

“The guys have been great and really taught

me a lot,” Daley said.

“Being around (the team), it has made me so much smarter, so much more aware of what is going on around me, being able to read defences and predicting what people are doing and being exposed to that, I feel has taught me a heck of a lot.”

With his junior football career done after this year, Daley is hoping to catch on with the Lions, who hold his territorial rights until Dec. 31.

If not, he will look to play university football.

Runnin’ Rebels’ Johnathan Thompson (with ball) drives to the hoop against the defence of TRU’s Mike Rouault during the 11th annual Hoopfest basketball tournament. The tournament was held at the Langley Events Centre on Aug. 15 and 16 with the Islanders defeating SB Battle 100-82 in the championship final.

The tournament raised $200 for KidSport with Prospera Credit Union donating $0.33 per three-point basket made, for $100, and Centrecourt, the tournament organizer, matching the donation.

BBQ LUNCH & EUCHRE

Lawrie, Welch named Fastball to Softball Canada list tryouts Two Langley women were among the 42 athletes who have been named to the 2016 women’s national team athlete pool by Softball Canada.

Danielle Lawrie, a pitcher, and shortstop Alisha Welch were on the roster released by Softball Canada on Wednesday (Aug. 26).

From the 42 players, the coaching staff will select 26 athletes to attend a world championship selection camp in either December or January.

The final Canadian team will compete at the 2016 WBSC women’s world softball championships from July 15 to 24 in Surrey.

The 19-year-old Welch represented Canada at the world junior softball championships earlier this month.

She is entering her junior season with the UMass Lowell River Hawks.

The 28-year-old Lawrie, who now lives in Seattle and works as an ESPN softball analyst, is contemplating coming out of retirement to play for Canada. She has a long history representing Canada on the international stage but had retired to focus on her 20-month-old daughter.

Softball could potentially return to the Olympic Games as early as 2020.

Tryouts for next spring’s ball season begin on Sunday.

The Fraser Valley Fusion A and the Langley Xtreme B girls fastball team will be holding tryouts for all girls born between 1998 and 2005 who want to play competitive fastball in 2016.

The tryouts will be held at Noel Booth Park and Willoughby Community Park. For more information or to register, visit www. langleyxtreme.com.

The Gran Coupe purrs along and effortlessly breezes by anything you choose it to pass. The sevenspeed Steptronic tranny offers seamless movement between the gears. I’m not the biggest fan of gearshift paddles but it was fun playing with them on a busy stretch close to my destination.

Approaching the track, traffic slowed and for the first time I had time to admire the beautifully stitched leather interior and controls layout, all of which are definitely all ergonomically correct.

The cockpit display takes its cues from the driving mode selected using the Driving Dynamics Control switch, the graphics and colors of the displays indicating clearly which of the COMFORT, ECO PRO and SPORT settings has been engaged. Very cool.

And it’s loaded with every safety warning system you can think of: lane departure, pedestrian and collision warning. A mad cyclist warning system capable of evasive action would be a worthy addition for 2017.

I was on a breakaway, powering up the ice, feeling the rush and gaining momentum before crossing the red line and hitting the brakes.

Centre ice might seem a little too early to start worrying about slowing

about tires because, ho-hum, they’re round and they’re black, just like they always were. But Bridgestone spends up to $1 billion on research and development every year, more than any other tire company. And some of the resulting evolution of product is evident in the latest Blizzak WS80 model that was launched just last year.

Dig your fingers into the tread pattern and you will notice pliability designed to maintain flexibility and grip in colder temperatures. A next generation multicell compound adds bite particles for traction and hydrophobic channels designed to absorb water from road surfaces. New nylon belting techniques help optimize contact patch pressure.

And the WS80’s tread pattern features water channels, 3D zigzag siping, micro texturing and 20 percent more block edges than the former WS70 version, resulting in 10 percent better snow traction.

We were ice-testing the Blizzak against Bridgestone’s own Ecopia 422, a low rolling resistant tire which, on its own, has proved to be one of its better winter-handling all season radials.

But nothing replaces dedicated winter performance and the difference was obvious - quicker starts with more even traction, shorter braking distances. Most of us can picture instances where even a few feet of less braking distance would have been the difference between disaster and a close call.

We even got to experiment on novelty tricycles mounted with car tires, a unique illustration of tire slippage, traction and cornering abilities.

The WS80 lineup offers a variety of sizes for passenger cars and minivans but Bridgestone also offers a Blizzak DM-V2 lineup with the same WS80 technologies for SUVs, CUVs and light pickups.

Blizzak LM-32 tires are designed for a BMW- and Audi-styled performance and the Blizzak lineup is rounded out by the W965 selection for heavy-duty pickup trucks.

I really didn’t want to think about winter yet, even when standing on the ice.

But it’s a reality all Canadians will face again, sooner than we want to.

Perhaps no aspect of life has gone untouched by technology in the 21st century. Technology has changed the way we communicate, how we watch television and listen to music and even how we keep abreast of the latest happenings in our communities and abroad.

Technology is also changing the way we drive and, in many ways, making today’s highways more safe. While automotive gadgets like built-in WiFi or backup cameras may be the first amenities to grab our attention, new developments in lighting technology are enhancing driver visibility and making it safer to hit the open road.

• Get vision checkups. A standard ophthalmic exam is a series of tests conducted to check an individual’s vision and the health of his or her eyes. The National Institutes of Health note that the frequency of such tests depends on an individual’s age, but drivers should know that they should get screened more frequently as they age, and the NIH notes that drivers who wear contact lenses need yearly eye exams. Drivers who suspect their vision might be making it harder for them to see when behind the wheel should schedule an ophthalmic exam immediately.

Personal reaction time also can influence how drivers see the road and how quickly they react to potentially negative driving conditions.
