Sweet swapThe Langley Good Times Cruise-In Swap Meet and Car Corral attracted about 5,000 people, 120 vendors and 80 vehicles for sale. Among the crowdwas Randy Zach who brought his hot rod, a 1930 Model A Roadster, to Saturdays event and travelled around Sunday on his Cruzin Cooler, a batteryoperated motorized cooler that can go up to 20 km/hr. It fits in the trunk of my hot rod which is ideal, Zach said.

Theres something about theLangley Good Times Cruise-In thatbrings out the best in MotherNature.The 17th edition of Western

Canadas best attended char-ity event was held under adome of blue sky.The sun warmed the annual

celebration of classic cars,trucks, souped up motor-cycles, and hot rods to abovenormal values for this time ofthe year.Along with tens of thou-

sands of visitors who filledstreets that were closed to traffic,there was a sensory explosionof music, food, and motorizedentries of all shapes and sizes.All proceeds from the Cruise-

In go back into the community,benefiting the show and shinescharities including the LangleyMemorial Hospital Auxiliary,Langley Community SupportGroups, Valley TherapeuticEquestrian Association, PuCKS,

Langley Boys & Girls Club,Douglas Park ElementaryAssociation, and the Legacy WaterSearch and Recovery Society.There were 1,100 official entries

in the show and shine, whichhad roughly 120 volunteers help-ing out during the weekend, saidCruise-In president Eric Taylor.We feel it was a very success-

ful show, Taylor said. We hadfewer vendors and sponsors than

in the past, but we hadreally good ones show up,which really helped usout. Some of the thingswe did went better thanever. Our souvenir pro-gram was fantastic thisyear.The feedback he

received was overwhelm-ingly positive, Taylorsaid.It has been glowing,

positive, and the City [ofLangley] was very happy with theway it went, he added.

Friday night funThe night before the Cruise-In,

drivers of classic cars, hot rods,and custom vehicles began gather-ing for an unofficial car show.Most of the cars gathered at the

parking lot of the Tim Hortonsand ICBC offices on Logan Avenueand 203rd Street.

Around the downtown area,people put out lawn chairs onthe sidewalk as the cars headedout to cruise up and down FraserHighway, 200th Street, Logan andIndustrial Avenues, and 203rdStreet.

The RCMP was ecstatic abouthow things went Friday night,Taylor said. They were verypleased with the conduct of theguys who were cruising, and therewere a lot of people cruising upand down Fraser Highway.

An empty poultry barn burned to theground early Friday morning in centralLangley Township.by Matthew [email protected]

A poultry barn in rural Langley nearPeterson Road Elementary burned to theground Friday morning.Neighbours reported hearing explosions or

loud bangs as the fire started.The first bang was about quarter to

five this morning, said neighbour MarkDieleman.Dieleman, who lives a block away, was

woken up by the first bang.It was loud, it shook the whole house,

Dieleman said.The second, smaller bang came about five

minutes later.When he went outside to see what was

going on, the whole sky was all lit up,Dieleman said.The explosions were likely caused by

welding equipment and compressed gases,said assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson. Thefire started near a workshop in the barn con-taining the equipment.Dozens of Langley Township firefighters

were at the scene working to extinguish the

rural blaze.Ferguson said every single firehall in the

Township sent at least some firefighters.The barn had fully collapsed at some

point, but at 8 a.m. parts of the barn werestill on fire. Crews were using a large back-hoe to move pieces of metal sheeting. A longrow of tanker trucks were on scene to deliv-er water, as the area has no hydrants and isdependent on wells.The fire crews would be there all day,

mopping up and putting out the last of the

flames, said Ferguson.Dieleman knows the owners of the barn,

and said it didnt have any birds inside atthe time.That one was empty, they just cleaned it

out last week, he said.No people were injured, either on the farm

or firefighters, said Ferguson.Firefighters were on scene all day Friday to

make sure the hot spots were doused.Investigators were planning to attend to try

to determine the cause of the fire.

The killer of a Delta pastorsson will spend nine yearsbehind bars, a judge ruled.by Jessica KerrGlacier Media

The man convicted in thedeath of a Tsawwassen man lastyear has been sentenced to nineyears in jail.Last February, 21-year-old

Taylor Johnson was found deadin a vacant Langley home thatwas being used as a marijuanagrow-operation.Jesse River Hill, of Surrey, was

on Wednesday sentenced to nineyears in prison after pleadingguilty to manslaughter in the

case. His sentence also includesa lifetime firearm prohibition.Johnson was found dead by

police on the eveningof Feb. 26, 2013, afterofficers were called tothe residence in the2000-block of 200thStreet in Langley tocheck on his wellbeing.The officers discov-

ered Johnsons body,as well as a marijuanagrow-op on the ruralproperty.Police believe the

murder was a result of the sus-pect trying to steal the crop.Johnson was working as a care-taker at the home and was notinvolved with the grow-op.

It was a senseless act that tra-gically took the life of Taylor,IHIT spokesperson Jennifer

Pound said at the timethe charges againstHill were announced.Taylor was a good

kid, she said. Hewas naive, and hemade a bad decisionthat ultimately costhim his life.Johnson was the son

of Paul Johnson, leadpastor at South DeltaBaptist Church.The pastor and his

family moved to Tsawwassenin 2007, joining the churchin November after serving asa teaching pastor at ChristCommunity Church in Tucson,

Arizona. One of six siblings,Taylor graduated from SouthDelta Secondary and wasenrolled in the Advanced MusicProduction (AMP) program atthe Nimbus School of RecordingArts in Vancouver at the time ofhis death. He was set to gradu-ate in just a few weeks.His family described him as

a gentle young man who wastrusting and caring of others.After his sons death, Paul

Johnson said Taylor was espe-cially known for his gentlespirit and was well liked by hispeers at school and in the work-place. He described his son asa typical young adult workingodd jobs to make ends meet.

Fisticuffs were the orderof the day in LangleyCity on Thursday aspolice broke up fights.by Matthew [email protected]

Langley RCMP officerswere called to a case ofroad rage and a drunkenfour-man brawl in twoseparate incidents in theCity Thursday.The four-way fight

apaparently started in anapartment in the 20700block of 56th Avenue, thenspilled out into the apart-ment buildings lobby andthen into the parking lot.Witnesses nearby, who

wished to remain anonym-ous, said at first it seemedthere were two men fight-ing, and a fire alarm wasalso pulled at some pointat around 3:30 p.m.During the fight, sev-

eral people tried to breakthings up, including someof the senior citizens wholive in the building. Oneof the older men trying tostop the fight may havebeen hit.Firefighters who

responded to the alarmhad to back off.They came after the fire

department too, said onewoman who saw part ofthe incident.Police arrived and broke

up the melee. One man,wearing socks and under-wear, was handcuffed andleft to sit across the streetwhile police finished theirinvestigation.Sgt. Ravi Pawar

described the incident asa mutual drunken fightand said the apartment themen came from has been asource of noise complaintsfor loud parties in the past.No one was seriously

injured, with a bloodynose seemingly the worstof it.A woman who was not

involved in the fight hadshortness of breath andwas looked after by emer-gency responders.

The road rage incidenthappened before noon inthe 5700 block of 203rdStreet, in front of theLangley City Fire Hall.Pawar said the incident

seems to have begunwhen one car cut anotheroff in traffic. The car thatwas cut off then allegedlyfollowed, passed, andswerved in front of thefirst car, causing a veryminor rear-end accident.One of the drivers, a

man in his late 20s, gotout of his car and punchedthe other driver.The incident was over

quickly, but one driver hasbeen released by police toappear in Surrey ProvincialCourt.The cars were not ser-

iously damaged in theincident.

The setting sun over Willoughby Sept. 4is being blamed for a pedestrian accidentthat killed one elderly man and sent anelderly woman to hospital.Police were on scene of the fatal acci-

dent for some time, at the intersection of198B Street and 72nd Avenue.The accident occurred just after 7 p.m.,

old woman were airlifted to hospital,where the man died of critical injuries.The woman sustained non-life threaten-

ing injuries.The driver of the vehicle remained at

the accident scene, and Marks said iscooperating with the investigation.Neither alcohol nor speed appear to be

factors in the collision. Witnesses suggestthe setting sun may have caused visibilityissues for the driver, she said.Langley RCMPs traffic division is work-

ing with the Integrated Collision Analystand Reconstruction Service (ICARS) atthe scene.Victim Services is assisting the fam-

ily of the two pedestrians, as well as thedriver. Langley Mounties are now askingfor the publics help. Anyone who wit-nessed the crash, and who has not yetspoken with the police, is asked to callthe Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Ive had a burial plot with my name on itsince I was 12 years old.Thats thanks to the number cancer did on

my 13-year-old sister and the common-sense,down to earth, country folks who raised usfiguring we have to buy one plot, why not getthe adjacent ones for when the rest of us go.Dad finally left this realm in 2010. Thats

thanks to decades of smoking and manyyears of drowning in his ownlung mucus from emphysema.He never tried to sidestep theissues. He said he lit those ciga-rettes, and lived and died withthe consequences. Those wouldbe a decade of infirmity and himwishing each day for several years that hewouldnt wake up each morning. His ashes arebeside my sister, too, in a cemetery in Calgary.So I know where Im going to end up but

not when. I dont want any help getting there.Yes, Im looking at you, motorist with the

cellphone/iPad/sushi platter/makeup brush.Only you dont notice because youre too

wrapped up texting, talking or otherwise doingother stuff thats not driving. The fines andself-preservation dont seem to be working.Distracted driving is now the second lead-

ing cause of car crash fatalities in B.C., trailingbehind speed and narrowly ahead of impaireddriving.Yeah, but thats not me, people will

say. Im responsible when I use my devicesbehind the wheel. I can effectively do all thatstuff.The police are having a campaign to crack

down on distracted driving. Thats the term forthose who choose to believe they can do eightthings at once and none are driving. Guesswhat, driving is a complex enough task with-out more stunts.

What will happen when a driver thinks he orshe has mastered the art of driving while beinga digital divo or diva. (Urban dictionary time:divo the male version of a diva.)?Will people look to add fire breathing or

knife swallowing?Multitasking is not as effective as people

think and we are not as good as it as wethink.To combat distracted driving, some people

are signing pledges not to use their devices.Nice, but it doesnt really have enough

oomph. Instead, we need to have a differentkind of pledge, maybe one that covers conse-quences people might not think of.I pledge that:If someone hits me, when I am a pedestrian

or while within a vehicle andwhile he/she is on a cell, usinga device or doing somethingclassed as distracted driving,theyd better kill me, because ifI survive, I will spend the restof my life devoted to ______ing

{insert own choice of expletive here} up himor her so badly that they wish they and auto-mobiles and cellphones had never been born.That effort will include tying up their keis-

ters in legal knots for as long as possible,including but not exclusively referencinglegal action taken on my behalf related to theCrown/police/courts, and by ICBC and/orother insurance carriers, banks, etc. with avested interest not only in my person and myautomobile but also my quality of life, employ-ment, health, longevity, my mortgage/rent andability to go to the bathroom on my own.I also pledge that once those processes are

played out, I will pursue civil action againstsaid dolt so that any hope of a stable incomeand stable life is lost in a morass of paper-work, court appearances and garnishments.Codicil: If theres alcohol/drugs involved

on top of this, oooohh you dont even want toknowSigned by ___________________________So if we had oodles of people signing

pledges like that, maybe we could stay morefocused on the task of driving.

Seniors showspirit in Games

As you read this, seniors aged 55-plusfrom all over the province are competingacross Langley.

The 2014 B.C. Seniors Games kicked offon Sept. 9, with competitors in more than20 sports and contests starting their questfor the medal podium. They wrap Sept. 13.

Many of the sports will be familiar toanyone who has followed our coverageover the summer of the preparations forthe games. Not only will there by track andfield events, cycling, swimming, and otherstrenuous contests, but seniors will competein whist and cribbage, horseshoes and lawnbowling. Mental skills will be tested as oftenas physical ones.

Yet the games are not divided up byage. There is nothing stopping someonein their late 80s or 90s from taking part inswimming or sprinting and visitors to theevents this week will see seniors of thoseages who are still highly active and who arecompeting for medals.

Langley has been a proud host to ath-letic competitions of every variety in recentyears. We have welcomed young athletesto the B.C. Summer Games, the SpecialOlympics Summer Games, and countlesssoccer, baseball, and football tournaments,along with every event from curling to roadcycling.

These events, and the current SeniorsGames, are true expressions of sports. Theyare amateur events carried out for the loveof fair competition, dedicated to fun andcomradeship as much as to medals and vic-tory.

The B.C. Seniors Games is a proud addi-tion to this tradition. As we spoke to manyathletes and organizers in the run-up to thegames, we heard over and over that it is thefun of meeting other athletes that continuesto draw people to the event.

Almost 4,000 competitors will arrive inLangley this week for the games. The publicis invited to come and cheer for them Sept.10 at the opening ceremonies, from 7-8:30p.m. at the Langley Events Centre. Find outmore at www. 2014bcseniorsgames.org.

Dear Editor,Whatever happened to accountability of

my MLA who also acted as the provincialminister of transportation before taking overthe environmental portfolio?What happened to the 216th Street over-

pass project?Seven years ago, we sold our house. The

principal reason for selling was the plan tobuild an overpass on 216th Street, immedi-ately behind our property.This plan, which seemed ill-fated from the

get-go, had a direct impact on the value onour house. It backed on to ALR land, andbecause 216th was interrupted by HighwayOne, it was a dead-end with virtually notraffic.Accordingly, the house was in a very

quiet neighbourhood with a pristine view ofMount Baker and the rest of Gods creation.It truly was an ideal location, typifying

country living within Langley Township.Naturally, rumours abound within the

real estate market, so I investigated. I foundfrom several sources that the overpass wasnot a rumour, but a reality, albeit a virtualone.I had a personal conversation with Mary

Polak, my MLA for the Langley riding. Sheconfirmed that it was a fully endorsed plan,and that completion was to take place nolater than 2013.Well, obviously, that year has been and

gone.Not only has the overpass not been com-

pleted, it has not even been started.What happened to the 216th overpass

plan?I have, in a dedicated folder, copies of

emails to Mary Polak. I placed a call to heroffice and spoke with her secretary, whoacknowledged receiving my first email andsaid that Ms. Polak was looking into thematter. She hoped to get back to me withthe next few days.While I continue to await her response,

it remains a mystery why it should take solong to respond to this simple question, par-ticularly when, during that period, Ms Polakwas the B.C. Minister of Transportation.A couple of weeks ago, I was referred to

the Ministry of Transportation. After a fewcalls, I was told that the plan was stalled. Itwas not abandoned and it could be a realityin the next few years.This, however, offered little to explain Ms

Polaks advice that the original plan was adone deal, or at least, would be by 2013.Doubtless, if this were election year, I

would have received at least an acknow-ledgment of my inquiry by Ms. Polak.Perhaps, even personally.I trust her environmental portfolio fares

better than transportation.Gordon Mathison, Langley

Overpass, answers overdue

Dear Editor,Jennifer Hudec [Let natur-

alists pay for cleanup, Aug.28 Letters, Langley Advance]should be aware that theCity of Langley, the ownersof Brydon Lagoon and muchof the nearby Nicolmeklfloodplain, has alreadyindicated some reticence todo anything expensive toimprove the general condi-tion of the lagoon after therecent fish kill there.Langley Field Naturalist

members in 1984 submit-ted detailed suggestions tothe City that the previoussewage lagoon (inactiveas of 1975) could be read-ily improved to become anature reserve; it wouldbe primarily for birds ofmany species, which LFNhad already observed inthat area or seen migratingthrough.The City passed a bylaw

in June 1987, establishingthe new Brydon Park Nature

Lagoon and, along withmany hours of volunteerlabour from LFN members,built the pathways andbeach area that so manylocal people and visitorscontinue to enjoy andphotograph year round.At the time of construc-

tion, the lagoon was mostlyeight to 10 feet deep andwell settled.In 2002/2003, two aer-

ation pumps were installedin the lagoon, to counteractthe reduced oxygen andsummer heating of thewater. The recent fish killwas undoubtedly causedby a lack of oxygen in thelagoon water the aerationpumps had broken downfrequently in the past yearor more and the increasedwater temperature due tothe lack of depth.At no time was any

attempt made by the Cityor LFN to stock any fishin the lagoon; we suspect

the dumping of small fishfrom home fish tanks andponds as owners outgrewthem, and occasional severewinter flooding of theentire Nicomekl Floodplainresulted in open water, andriver fish entering directlyall along the south side ofthe Lagoon.LFN members continue

to help keep the lagoonhealthy; they have placedall the log booms therefor birds to rest on, andcontinue to act as generalguardians there as part ofthe Point-of-Pride programin the City.We hope that future dis-

cussions with the City willresult in this nature lagoonbeing rehabilitated to itsoriginal healthy condition tobe enjoyed by all humanand avian.We are pleased to accept

applications for LFN mem-bership at any time.Rhys Griffiths, Langley

Mount Polleywill recoverDear Editor,If we want to look into the future and

see what the power of nature has instore for us following the Mount Polleytailings dam failure, we need look nofurther than the experience of the smalltown of Aznalcllar (Los Frailes) nearSaville, Spain.In April 1998, a similar dam failure

occurred. But in a report issued six yearsafter the incident, it was noted that anywaterways that may have been contam-inated had restored themselves withina few short months, and 16 permanentwater testing stations continue to showsafe levels for drinking water.By six years after the incident, in 2004,

six different species of fish had laid eggs.Over the short span of a few years, the

ecosystem of Aznalcllar has improvednaturally. Six years from now, this isthe future we can fully expect to see atMount Polley.Jimmy Pelk, Langley[Note: Fuller versions of these letters and

Cash from a stolenelectronics scheme will behanded over to the province.by Matthew [email protected]

The province has seizedalmost $13,000 in cash from a

man convicted of an inside-jobcomputer theft from a LangleyBest Buy.In November last year, the

Langley RCMP were called outby loss prevention staff at theBest Buy warehouse regardingtens of thousands of dollars ofiPhones, iPads, and computers.A suspect was arrested

quickly, said Cpl. Holly Marks,

spokesperson for the LangleyRCMP.Officers from the Street

Enforcement Unit then took overthe investigation, and searched aPort Coquitlam house.It appears the electronics were

being sold on Craigslist. Alongwith the cash, police found$23,000 worth of electronics thathadnt yet been sold.

The suspect, Wei-Chun EricWang, 23, was charged withtheft under $5,000, pleadedguilty, and received a condition-al discharge on June 13.After the conviction,

Constables Mike Schnerch, theasset forfeiture coordinator forLangley, and Anders Galasso ofthe Street Enforcement Unit puttogether a submission for the

Civil Forfeiture Office.The cash has now been

ordered seized by the govern-ment.The money will not stay in

Langley directly. Cash and goods from cars to boats to houses seized as proceeds of crime isused to fund the Civil ForfeitureOffice, and crime preventionprograms around the province.

A Langley cat shelter hasexpanded its space forfelines thanks to localvolunteers.

by Matthew [email protected]

The cats are still learning thatthey can go out, said DonnaHealy-Ogden on a recent sunnyday at Milners CARES CatShelter.A few cats were braving the

mild sunshine,checking out thenew runs finishedin late August.The new outdoorruns will allowcats being kept atCARES for futureadoption to getmore fresh air.Its been an

ambition of CARES presidentHealy-Ogden and the other vol-unteers to expand and upgradetheir shelter for some time.Theyve now managed that,

thanks they say to a lot of sup-port from their volunteers andthe community at large.Over the many years its oper-

ated in Milner, cats at CAREScome from a variety of origins.Many are strays found eitherinjured or abandoned around the

community.

Some cats are dropped off withveterinarians, who bring themin.Others are turned in by elderly

owners heading into care, whocant keep their pets.Some have more exotic ori-

gins.One of our volunteers actual-

ly snatched a cat from out of thejaws of a coyote, said Healy-Ogden.He came in with some injuries

but survived and was dubbedOliver.He ended up in a penthouse

in White Rock, said Healy-Ogden.With more than

60 cats currentlyat the shelter, thestaff and volun-teers are pleasedto have theexpanded runsand new indoorspaces complete.They had been

planning the project for a year,said Healy-Ogden.After waiting a while for a

contractor, a couple who regu-larly volunteer stepped up anddid much of the work on theoutside runs themselves overseveral weekends.Then to get the mesh fencing

done, Gauvin 2000 Constructionstepped in and finished thingsoff.More donors brought in

materials. All the donated itemsand labour meant that costs

were way down for theproject, a good thingsince like all volun-teer-driven projects,CARES couldalways use a bitmore funding.

The projectmeans moreroom for mostof the catsat CARES.Virtually everycat will get achance to use anoutdoor run now,

which will be goodfor their mental well

being.We try to keep the

stress level down, said Healy-Ogden.A few cats are still going to

be spending most of their timeindoors, including those that arein the quarantine building hav-ing just arrived or come downsick. Another quiet room at theshelter houses mostly older catsand those with chronic healthconditions. Many of them arelong term residents, as they arehard to adopt, but every once ina while someone comes by andforms a bond with one.Many of the cats and kittens at

CAREs can be seen at PetSmarton the Langley Bypass, whichhosts a few during the week.If they dont see a cat that

they would want, they can makean appointment and come to theshelter, said Healy-Ogden.Contact CARES through 604-

532-5632 or at [email protected].

CARES thanks volunteers for new expansion

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Donna Healy-Ogden and Clive Ellis of CARES said hello to a couple of the cats in the shelter this summer. CARES is pleased with a recentexpansion that allows its cats more time outdoors.

The new runs allow cats, like the one to the left, to get out in the fresh air more often atthe CARES shelter.

Another frog release isto preserve the Oregonspotted frog in B.C.by Matthew [email protected]

The latest generation ofOregon spotted frogs havebeen released into the wildby the Greater VancouverZoo.Recently, the conserva-

tion program run out ofthe zoo for several yearsreleased 127 captive-bredfrogs into a natural wet-land near Aldergrove.The area has been spe-

cially enhanced in the pastto meet the frogs needsfor habitat.The frogs are listed as

vulnerable internation-ally, and as endan-gered in Canada by theInternational Union for theConservation of Nature.

The main force makingthe frogs harder to findis the loss of wetland, asland has been drained forfarms, housing, and roads.Also threatening the

small amphibians areintroduced American bull-frogs, green frogs, andpredatory fish, all of whicheat tadpoles and smallOregon spotted frogs.There are just four sites

in B.C. known to host wild

populations of the frogs,including three aroundAgassiz. The fourth, locat-ed some years back, is inAldergrove.The Oregon spotted frog

is just one project the zoohas been working on.Last year the zoo raised

western painted turtlesfrom eggs.The small turtles are a

local species that, like thefrogs, are threatened byhabitat loss and invasivespecies taking over their

territory.The project at the zoo

Bellingham eat local

With the topic of health on everyones minds, lots of places nowadays claim to support eatinglocal. Bellingham, however, is making a statement by declaring all of September Eat LocalMonth.

Entering its fourth year, its a fun way to highlight what were doing year-round. Its harvestseason, so theres so much food production going on, says Sara Southerland, food andfarming program manager at Sustainable Connections. Her organization is a non-profit networkconnecting businesses, restaurants and farms to support sustainable economic development.

There are 19 participating restaurants that, during Eat Local Month throughout September, willbe offering menu items featuring 50 per cent or more locally sourced ingredients, she says.

Also, there are grocery stores and farmers markets participating as well. We have thesepassports for the month where people can get stamps by going to events, like the (WhatcomCounty) Farm Tour on the 13th, or eating local dishes at the restaurants or shopping at thegrocery store.

People can then turn in their completed passports to redeem for differentprize packages. Southerland says the farm tour is usually the most popularattraction of the month, a free, self-guided tour with 12 stops throughoutthe region that include wineries and markets.

Coinciding with Eat Local Month are another couple of food and drinkevents happening in September. Immediately following the tour is theninth annual Bite of Bellingham on the 14th, at the Depot Market Square.Presented by the Downtown Bellingham Partnership, patrons can samplesmall servings of international cuisine costing between $1 and $3 from

several restaurants in the area.

And, the third installment of Bellingham Beer Week takes place from September 12 to 21. Believe it or not, there arenow five craft beer breweries within close proximity of each other Chuckanut, Boundary Bay, Kulshan, Aslan andWander all of which will be hosting events like tastings, brewers nights and brewers tours all that week.

The response (to Eat Local Month festivities) has been really great. Businesses are really loving it, and people areloving coming down, she says.

Langley Lodge has seen variousupgrades and construction over theyears including 2011s expansion.by Heather [email protected]

Roy Brown still volunteers at LangleyLodge, four decades after he spearheadedthe effort to create the care facility.

Back in 1971, Stewart Chapman, admin-istrator of Langley Memorial Hospital,approached Brown, then president of theLangley Rotary, for assistance to researchopportunities for establishing a residentialcare facility in Langley.Chapman was under pressure to free

up acute-care hospital beds occupied bylong-term care patients. Brown respondedand Rotary spearheaded a feasibilitystudy for a care facility.

continued from page A 14A key finding of the

study, according to Brown,was that Langley seniorswanted a future residen-tial care home to be in acentral location; they werestrongly opposed to beinghoused out in the boon-ies.In its spot at 5451 204th

St., the lodge is centrallylocated, close to manyamenities.A photo of Brown hangs

on a wall of history aboutthe lodge. He was at thesod turning when thelodge was first envisionedin the early 1970s.There was strong local

support for the project andit only gained momentum.The sod was turned in

February 1973 and a littlemore than one year laterLangley Lodge opened itsdoors as a personal carehome. Operations fund-ing from the Ministry ofHealth was not a realityuntil later, and was imple-mented to assist seniorswith lower incomes toaccess Langley Lodge care.Over the years the lodge

have been renovated butit was a few years agothat the facility underwentmassive change.The single tower of the

lodge would become two

towers.Construction took about

three years but the plan-ning was at least doublethat.It would require a $28

million mortgage to do theexpansion, the completionof which was celebrated inlate 2011.Residents lived in the

building during the con-struction.The existing facilities

were upgraded to moderncare standards and theexpansion allows residentsto have their own rooms.Posters tell about the

many activities the com-plex care facility hosts,including afternoon tea.The residents can also takeadvantage of a garden,outings, daily exercises, ahair salon, a physiotherapyroom, and guest suites.At the grand opening

celebration, then mayorPeter Fassbender notedthat his mother lived inLangley Lodge.Fighting back emotion,

Fassbender said his moth-er passed happy becauseshe was cared for andpraised the staff, volun-teers and board for makingthe facility a home.It is just that for the

139 residents of LangleyLodge.
