Fire broke out at Peat’s family home in the 4400 block of 208A Street on Tuesday night (March 17), just before 11 p.m.

Fortunately, no one was injured in the blaze that caused significant damage to the home.

The province is pledging to widen Highway 1 in the Fraser Valley to six lanes between Langley and Abbotsford as part of its newly-unveiled provincial transportation plan.

trucks to regional airport improvements.

Its pledge to begin design work for a sixlane Highway 1 to Abbotsford offers no timeline or other specifics, such as whether HOV lanes will extend further east.

The province widened the highway to three lanes eastbound from 232 to 264 Streets over the past few years but otherwise, the road is two lanes each way from 208 Street east.

A Miele vacuum is quiet, light and powerful. Add to that the Miele AirClean system, which traps 99.9% of dirt, dust and allergens, while the Miele Dustbag keeps them sealed and locked away for good.

South Surrey: #600-15355 24 Ave. 604-531-7614

There is frequent congestion on the stretch of Highway 1 through both Langley and Abbotsford, due to growth of the Fraser Valley.

The plan also pledges 20 highway interchange and overpass improvements in the Lower Mainland, including a new Highway 1 interchange at Mountain Highway in North Vancouver to begin construction next year, and an upgrade to Mt. Lehman

Road connecting Highway 1 to the Abbotsford Airport.

The biggest future project in the Lower Mainland will be the replacement of the George Massey Tunnel with a new bridge, although there’s no price tag yet.

The plan promises to continue planning for the project ahead of an expected construction start in 2017.

Owner of old records sought Langley RCMP are trying to locate the rightful owner of a group of phonograph records that were found in a public washroom at Milner Park recently.

The group of 78 rpm records were found by someone using the washroom at the park. That individual then turned them in to the Langley RCMP detachment.

“While the records may have little monetary value, they may have personal value to their true owner,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

If you have information about these records, please call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

C o ntribu te d pho to

A number of old 78 rpm recordings were recently found in the washroom at Milner Park. They were then turned over to Langley RCMP. While the records, which likely date back to the 1920s or 1930s, may not have much monetary value, police are asking that the owner of the recordings come forward so they can be returned.

Police car damaged by suspect MAN WAS DRIVING STOLEN CAR MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A Langley RCMP police car was damaged and thankfully no one was hurt, as a man in a stolen vehicle attempted to flee on Saturday, March 21.

Langley RCMP were called on the morning of March 21, when a resident in the Willoughby area noticed a 1993 Toyota Corolla parked in a driveway, where no one should have been home.

The Langley officer arrived and noticed there was a window missing from the driver’s side rear door, the licence plate had been changed and there was a man sleeping in the driver’s seat.

The man woke up and began to converse with the officer. Initially, he provided an incorrect

name but the officer was able to discern a correct identity, said police.

Once it was confirmed the vehicle was stolen (it was taken in Langley March 13), the officer called for backup and instructed the man to exit the vehicle.

The driver refused and started the car, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. It’s alleged he rolled up the window and put the vehicle into reverse.

He backed down the driveway and drove across the front lawn, said Marks. The car went over a tree and became hung up on a small garden and the curbing of the roadway.

However, the driver was able to get the vehicle onto the roadway and turned a nearby corner, striking the investigating

officer’s parked police car. The Corolla then came to a stop.

“The driver was again ordered to exit the vehicle — he did not comply,” said Marks.

He kept shifting the vehicle from drive to reverse in an apparent attempt to flee. However, the vehicle was not driveable due to the damage sustained in the collision.

Once other officers arrived, a window was broken on the vehicle. The suspect was then removed and arrested.

Curtis Bowden-Green, 24, of Surrey, has been charged with possession of stolen property, obstructing a peace officer and willful damage. He has been remanded in custody and will next appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Thursday.

Two suspects ‘caught in the act’ at businesses BOTH CAUGHT BY SECURITY Two men were ‘caught in the act’ of breaking into two separate Langley businesses over the last week.

On Friday, March 20, around 4 a.m., police received a call from an alarm company which had live footage of a man inside the Bottle Depot in the 27500 block of Fraser Highway in Aldergrove. The male was observed rummaging through containers.

Police arrived very quickly and found him still inside the compound. The 30-year-old Langley man was arrested and brought back to the detachment to appear in court the following day.

Michael Allen Wiens has now been charged with break-and-en-

Officers attended and called for the assistance of the police dog service. A track was established and a man believed to be responsible for the break-in was arrested within two blocks of the compound.

Witness tried to stop arson FATHER AND SON HAD ARGUED THAT DAY, SAY POLICE From Page 1

Police were called when a passerby witnessed the arsonist as he was lighting the fire. That witness attempted to thwart the arson but the fire had already started.

Officers learned that a domestic dispute between the father and son in the home had taken place earlier that day, but was renewed later that evening.

The father went to bed for the night, and luckily the basement tenant wasn’t home at the time when the house was set ablaze.

Langley RCMP were searching for Peat and put out a brief description of the suspect after the fire.

Peat, a right winger and tough guy, played for the BCHL Langley Thunder in 1994/95 before making the jump to major junior and the Western Hock-

So much more than a homeless shelter

Nowhere in the document are tolls mentioned — either on the Massey bridge or elsewhere — but Transportation Minister Todd Stone has said the new bridge may well be tolled.

If both the Massey and Pattullo replacements are tolled, Stone says the province will have to alter its policy to reform how tolls are charged in the region, or else every lower Fraser River crossing except one would be tolled.

Several initiatives aim to help the trucking industry, including a pledge to build at least two new truck parking areas in the Lower Mainland and 10 new truck inspection pullouts across

the province.

The announcement last week in Vancouver came the same week ballots began to go out in Metro Vancouver’s transit tax plebiscite.

The plan reiterates the province’s promise to deliver onethird of the funding needed for major new rapid transit projects and to replace the Pattullo Bridge, subject to business case completion and the constraints of the provincial budget.

Stone said the province is ready to deliver its share of the money for the transit plan proposed by the mayors if the mailin vote passes.

“Our one-third is on the table,” Stone said. “We’re waiting to see if the Lower Mainland’s

residents approve the region’s share. That is why a Yes vote is so critical.”

Other planks of the provincial transportation plan include: • Allowing cities to enable motorcycle parking in unused spaces near intersections.

• Encouraging more use of natural gas buses across the province.

• Working with TransLink to improve SkyTrain accessibility with more elevators and escalators.

The province will also consider allowing slow-moving vehicles to make short trips on low-volume roads as an alternative for people in smaller communities who don’t want to drive a car.

You & The Law Farmers’ support for UGM unwavering amid flu crisis

PRESENTS

Age matters when injured: “Golden Years” doctrine Age matters. It’s bad enough to be injured in a car crash or other accident at any age.

But for older people, the pain and loss of enjoyment of life can be particularly hard.

Mr. F didn’t get compensation for lost wages or loss of future earning capacity – quitting his job, however reluctantly, before 65 was his own choice.

The courts recognize that a loss of mobility or negative life change in your “golden years” may be worse than for a young person.

But the BC Supreme Court pointed out that when someone who has always been physically active loses some physical function later in life, they may not enjoy their retirement years as much and be less able to replace their planned retirement activities with other life interests. And what may be a small loss of function for a younger person may be far more significant for an older one, whose activities are already constrained by age.

Take the situation Mr. F (59 at the time) found himself in after his vehicle was rearended at a red light. He didn’t think he’d been seriously injured at first, and didn’t take any time off work. But when his initial soreness got worse, he saw a doctor. Over the next year, the pain and soreness in his left shoulder persisted. And he felt his job performance was slipping. This was a job he’d held for 38 years which involved occasional heavy lifting.

The court awarded Mr. F $45,000 to compensate him for his loss of life enjoyment. He also got $41,500 for costs of future care and treatment.

Of course, age is only one factor considered in arriving at the proper compensation for lost life enjoyment – type and severity of injury and pain, disability and emotional suffering are some others. Also, an older person is more likely to already have other In the four years before the trial, he saw his physical problems or pre-existing conditions doctor, visited a chiropractor, did physiother- for which the defendant cannot be held apy and also saw a medical specialist about responsible.

LANGLEY EGG AND TURKEY FARMS FEED HUNDREDS Amidst rebuilding in the wake of the Fraser Valley’s avian flu crisis, Langley egg farmer Bodo Goetzke is not letting tough times thwart his commitment to help one of Canada’s most poverty-stricken neighbourhoods.

He is one of 150 turkey and egg farmers who not only maintained their commitment to provide Union Gospel Mission with turkey and eggs throughout the year — they have exceeded it.

Raising $92,700, nearly $20,000 more than last year, these farmers allow UGM to include desperately-needed protein in many of the 320,000 meals provided in both Vancouver’s downtown eastside and New Westminster.

“It affects everyone,” said Ray Nickel, B.C. Poultry Association president. “About 280,000 birds have been destroyed, and there is compensation for that but it gets complicated for farms in close vicinity. They end up under quarantine, unable to restock, and lose customers with barriers to trade, but don’t receive compensation.”

According to Nickel, the impact far exceeds financial distress.

“It’s a huge amount of emotional and physical stress for farmers — the destruction, composting, disinfecting and restocking — it takes a toll.”

Goetzke is one of the farmers whose farming has been disrupted because of geography.

He explains why the added workload and financial stress have not

Su bmitte d pho to

Langley egg farmer Bodo Goetzke and his wife Sharon have provided eggs to the Union Gospel Mission for years, even through the avian flu crisis, as well as organizing an annual golf tournament for the poverty outreach service. deterred his generosity of time and funds.

“Regardless of what goes on we’ve been blessed in this industry. Guys are sticking to their word and just stepping up to the plate. We made a commitment to UGM, and you don’t just walk away from that overnight,” said Goetzke.

Goetzke has been a driving force behind the funds raised from farmers. He was an integral part of creating — and now maintaining — the annual golf tournament which has turned into a sold-out, “must-attend” event for those connected to the industry. His personal generosity and fundraising efforts help “top-up” what the tournament doesn’t reach. The next tournament will be in September.

Township mayor Jack Froese, owner of JD Turkey Farms, also

supports UGM. For Union Gospel Mission, the gift has been invaluable. The farmers provide all of UGM’s eggs for the year, including the daily hard-boiled eggs many count on as part of a UGM morning snack.

“When the Fraser Valley farmers partnered with us, we were able to move away from offering a lot of sugar — which is easier to obtain — to much-needed protein,” explained Bruce Curtiss, manager of Hastings Outreach.

“Those with so little rarely get meat because it’s so expensive and needs to be prepared properly, yet their bodies are depleted and desperately need this kind of nourishment.”

Curtiss explained that thanks to generous donors, UGM offers a protein, a grain and a

fruit or vegetable at every meal. And it makes a difference.

“It’s not only homeless people who benefit,” he said. “There are an increasing number of families and seniors, as well as labour workers with jobs, just trying to get back on their feet, and barely hanging on.

“They depend on us to supplement some of their meals.”

And while the turkey fund does not cover the massive holiday meals like the upcoming Easter event, it provides day-to-day stability in the regular rotation of meals the rest of the year, including delicious turkey sausage, ground turkey, turkey a la king and barbecye turkey thighs.

For the last decade, BC Turkey and Egg Producers have collectively provided UGM with $359,000 worth of protein.

Teen drug use and sex down EATING HABITS HAVE DECLINED, STUDY SHOWS Teens are having less sex, and fewer youth are trying drugs than in previous years, according to recently-released results of a new B.C.-wide student survey.

Most of the survey results show that teens have reduced risky behaviour, as compared compared to youth five years ago.

One of the only downfalls seen in Langley students was they are more likely to drink pop and eat fast food than in other districts.

In B.C., 19.9 per cent of teens were having sex, compared to 24 per cent in 2003. Of those, 44 per cent of those teens were in Grade 12.

Compared to five and 10 years previously, youth in 2013 were more likely to wait until later in their adolescence before having their first drink.

Also, fewer teens are trying hard drugs like crystal meth and ecstasy. For example, the

percentage who had ever tried ecstasy decreased from seven per cent to four. However, prescription pill use climbed dramatically in 2008 to 15 per cent, going down to 11 per cent in 2013.

Sadly, bullying is up, with the most common age to be teased age 14 for females and 15 for males.

Every five years, The McCreary Centre Society administers the Adolescent Health Survey across B.C. The questionnaire is used to gather information about young people’s physical and emotional health, and about factors that can influence health during adolescence or in later life.

In 2013, more than 29,000 B.C. youth participated in this study, including students in Langley. Using statistical analysis, the authors of the report are able to find correlations and draw tentative conclusions that they shared with Langley principals and vice-principals.

Some of the findings of the report for the South Fraser region include: • 90 per cent of students in the study now have a cellphone; • Eating breakfast is seen as a protective factor for positive mental health; • Risky sexual behaviour in youth has decreased; • Overall marijuana and substance use is down; however, those who use marijuana continue to use it consistently; • In all areas of school, students report feeling safer, and that teachers care about them; • 3/4 of students report being on their phone after they were supposed to be sleeping; • Nine or more hours of sleep is considered a protective factor for positive mental health; and • The most robust protective factors for students are positive family relationships and positive school connectedness.

The closure was set to last until 5 a.m. on Monday, but the

work was done late Sunday andd the road was reopened.

Other crossings in Langley are also being repaired. Fraser Highway was fixed the previous weekend.

Question langeytimes.com

A study by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business that was released on Monday indicated that public sector wages are 10 to 15 per cent higher than comparable jobs in the private sector.

Wages for professions such as police officers and firefighters were not taken into account, as there is no comparable private sector positions. However, positions which are part of both public and private sectors were compared for the CFIB’s “Wage Watch” report, the sixth in the past 30 years.

CFIB vice-president Ted Mallett outlined the differences between the two sectors.

“In the private sector, (compensation is) market tested,” he said. “If wages go up too much, businesses struggle, they end up closing doors or cutting back. If wages are too low, then the business doesn’t attract the right kind of labour and it suffers as well.”

The report takes its data from 2010 information contained in Statistics Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey. It compares more than 200 occupations in public and private sectors.

In 2010, private sector wages were still suffering from the 2008 economic downturn, which dealt a severe blow to many businesses. Wage increases were non-existent for most employees in 2009 and 2010. Meanwhile, wage increases for government employees continued ticking along. While there has been a slight reduction in annual increases from the four per cent range to around two per cent, most public sector employees are likely making about 15 per cent more than they were in 2008.

In years past, public sector wages were often at or even slightly below comparable private sector wages. There was a reason for this — there was more job security in the private sector; there were generous benefits; and there was (and is) a fully-indexed pension plan, which long-term employees could often start collecting from as early as 55.

However, in the past 20 years or so, the wages paid to public sector employees have ballooned. This has happened as job security in the private sector has been substantially reduced.

While there was a booming private sector economy in B.C. from 2000 to 2008, many traditional well-paying jobs disappeared to contracting out, new technology or intense competition. Some new, well-paying jobs appeared, but in many cases, these require a very high level of education and skills that only a few people have.

The 2008 downturn intensified that trend and there has been only minimal replacement of many of the jobs that have been lost. Many people are no longer private sector employees, but have set up their own businesses in an attempt to keep the work coming in.

Taxes have not been reduced. In fact, they continue to go up — at all levels of government. While the federal government did lower the GST, there has been no comparable move by provincial or local governments.

Salaries paid to public sector workers need a closer look.

of the week

Given that gas prices remain so high, is government action needed to pressure gas retailers to lower prices?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

The middle ground they

B.C.’s NDP leader, John Horgan, was cautious on specifying a minimum wage figure for the province’s low-income workers at a recent Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce luncheon — and so he should be.

It’s too early for Horgan to come out swinging against small businesses at a time when he needs to expand his reach and appeal to a larger base not anger people.

That’s not to say that the $10.45 minimum wage that was announced two weeks ago, along with future hikes tied to the Consumer Price Index, is the best that can be done for B.C.’s lowest-paid workers, of which there are approximately 100,400, mostly in the service sector. Indeed, a 20-cent-an-hour hike is laughable but so, some believe, is the $15 an hour wage the BC Federation of Labour is promoting.

There must be a comfortable middle ground that would work for businesses, employees and the economy. When times are good, most companies tend to pay higher than minimum wage anyway.

Tax dollars used

Editor: I have a great deal of respect for Mayor Jack Froese, and most of the time I agree with him. However, his answer (The Times, March 19) to the concerned citizen, reassuring that individual that no tax dollars in Langley have been spent promoting any side, is erroneous.

Did Mayor Froese compose and send his own press release to alert the local media that he and Mayor Ted Schaffer would be at the Carvolth Exchange last Tuesday, or did he have a Township staff member do so?

Did he contact Michelle Murti of Fraser Health Authority, or have his assistant do so?

Did he co-ordinate the schedule of his mayoral counterpart in the City of Langley and the medical health officer, or did an assistant do this on his behalf? If so, then indeed taxpayers dollars were spent to promote the ‘yes’ side.

I intend to vote ‘no’ in the upcoming plebiscite, because I feel that on this side of the Fraser River, we have been treated like poor relations and given very little in exchange for the taxes we already pay for such meagre service. This is especially true in Aldergrove.

LILIANNE FULLER, LANGLEY

Township ill-served Editor: I wonder at what point in time is this Langley Township council ever going to pull their heads out of the sand.

I’ve lived here since 1999, and my taxes have just gone up, up, up. Council members are supposed to serve the Township, not their own personal interests. I know there are services required, but I was never consulted about full-time firefighters, which are costing me more and more every year. I can’t see any better services since I came here, and you expect more pay for no more services.

Now the mayor thinks we should give TransLink half a percent sales tax to the unelected, unaccountable fools that “run” TransLink. It starts at 0.5 per cent, and only goes up from there.

The mayor needs to get a grip on what he is responsible for, and represent taxpayers. I hate to use the expression, because it’s pretty juvenile, but OMG. Maybe the people that run this Township need to be less juvenile too.

It’s too bad that most taxpayers are too busy to read the papers and get involved with how they are being raped year after year for unacceptable service. They are too busy trying to make ends meet and look after their families and running their lives. They have no time to protest being ripped off by their elected officials.

Elected people should look in the mirror, and tell the public you can all look at yourselves with confidence, as you are doing the job you were elected to do under the trust you have been given. This is long overdue.

Look at the voter turnout, and you’ll see that you haven’t been given a mandate, just that many of us are all disgusted with your “service.”

SCOTT ROLFE, LANGLEY

Ten reasons to vote ‘no’ Editor: Here are ten reasons to vote against the 0.5 per cent sales tax, the proceeds of which which will go to TransLink.

1 — TransLink is broken and money will not fix the problem. It will just cover up its mistakes.

2 — Giving money to politicians is like feeding bears: it’s never a good idea.

3 — Bailing out TransLink by giving it more money is like trying to fix a boat with a hole in it by bailing it out. You may keep it afloat, but it will not fix the problem.

4 — Giving them money is like punishing a child for being bad by giving them a cookie. What’s worse is we are showing them where the cookie jar is.

5 — Premier Christy Clark has said that she will stay out of this but is voting ‘yes.’ How can the premier of our Langley Time s file pho to province say she is voting ‘yes’ to more taxes but is staying out of it? If she re- There will be more toll bridges like the Golden Ears Bridge, no matter which way ally wanted to stay out of it, she would the TransLink plebiscite vote goes, says letter writer B. Taylor. not vote at all.

6 — Let’s face it: Clark is not staying refused to fund. Aldergrove doesn’t even have a pool. It out of this for one second and as soon as this is over, regardless of the outcome, she will stick her had a lake, but it needed servicing and Metro Vancouver nose back into TransLink and tell us where the next bridge deemed it was too costly to repair, so it was shut down.

Ironically it is still called Aldergrove Lake Park and it has needs to be built.

This brings up several questions: Why are we being no bus service.

10 — For everyone agonizing over this problem, relax. I asked to fund TransLink when the premier is making all the decisions? Why isn’t the premier using the provincial have a solution. First of all we need to identify the problem. It’s called accountability. We’ve all heard politicians budget?

When she decides we need a bridge from West Vancou- making promises and then breaking them. We’ve seen the ver to UBC or from Kitsilano to Vancouver, who is going waste, the poor planning, the excess etc.

People make mistakes and politicians are people too. to pay for it? Well don’t worry. They have a plan: they will The problem is that they are not being held accountable. use the same plan they used for the Golden Ears and Port I have a plan, this is how it works. All promises made by Mann bridges. They will be tolled and the reasoning for it will be that TransLink is broke and the only way to build politicians will be linked to their pensions. For example, if the much-needed bridges is for users to pay for it. Which the 0.5 per cent tax that politicians say will not increase brings up another question: Why aren’t we just asking for does, in fact, go up, all sitting MLAs will lose 20 per cent of their pensions. If TransLink cannot balance its budget the transit users to pay more?

7 — The side trying to get you to vote ‘yes’ is spending $6 with the 0.5 per cent, its employees lose 20 per cent of million of your money trying to get you to give them more their pensions.

If Clark cannot stay out of it and says a bridge needs to money. If you think this money was spent wisely, you are either a member of the TransLink board or your name is be built from Delta to Richmond, she loses 20 per cent of her pension. If all political promises were linked to the Christy Clark.

8 — Regardless of what the ‘yes’ side is saying, the only politicians’ pensions, we would have accountability. We choice you have that will not cost you money is to vote ‘no.’ are, however going to need someone to keep track of all Except of course, all of the money your government has al- the broken promises and I have just the person in mind.

I will do it for 0.5 per cent of the salary of every MLA that ready spent trying to get you to vote ‘yes’ and all the money being spent to hold the plebiscite. Do you think they would lies or breaks a promise, plus 0.5 per cent of every pension dollar reduced due to lying, cheating, stealing etc. have to hold a plebiscite if they wanted to lower taxes?

Every dollar that I make over $100,000 I will donate back 9 — The good people of Aldergrove are being asked to pay to TransLink. This should take care of any and all funding the extra tax even though the new TransLink plan doesn’t include anything past Glover Road. Sorry Aldergrove. Bus shortfalls.

The Organic Choice W

orking in an organic food store, we are often asked the question “Why is organic more expensive?” And while there are some price differences between organic and conventional foods, most people are surprised to learn that it is possible to buy organic items and not break the budget.

However, for those organic items that are more costly, there are some good reasons for the difference in price. Organic farmers must keep extensive records that are required for keeping their certification. Also, growing organic means that farmers must rotate their crops regularly in order to keep the soil fertile.

In contrast, conventional farmers are able to use chemical fertilizers to support planting entire fields with high paying crops. And speaking of fertilizers, chemical and synthetic options used by conventional farmers are far less expensive than the organic variety that is permitted under certification laws.

Perhaps one of the most glaring differences between organic and conventional farming is the amount of government subsidies allocated to each side. As a percentage, organic farmers are only given 0.001% of the subsidies that are available to conventional growers. According to Simcha Weinstein, of Albert’s Organics, three quarters of these farm subsidies go to cash crops like corn, wheat, and cotton. Cheap

Health & Nutrition Centre www.wellbeingshealth.com This Week’s Hot In-Store Specials SALE ENDS: TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 2015

corn allows conventional animal farmers to feed their livestock at a far lower cost than what an organic animal farmer is required to endure. This translates into higher costs for organic meat and dairy products.

Unfortunately, most subsidies end up going to the largest ten percent of farms, meaning that huge factory style farms receive the most benefit and small, family farms receive next to nothing in governmental support.

The benefit that organic farming has for the environment and for our bodies is substantial. While there is a hot debate surrounding the nutrient values of organic versus conventional produce, many reputable sources agree that there is greater vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant content in organic fruits and vegetables. Additionally, eating organic means that you are not subjecting your body to the harmful effects of toxic chemical pesticides, some which have been shown to be carcinogens. Organic farming is kinder to our planet and is more sustainable in the long term. Conventional farming is exceptionally hard on soil and water quality and leads to serious degradation and pollution over time. In contrast, organic farming creates more fertile soil and doesn’t contribute to water toxicity.

Our fingernails are like a window into our internal wellbeing. Symptoms of a greater problem may occur first in our nails and nail beds. Brittle nails, coupled with weight loss and dry hair may be an indicator of thyroid disease. The thyroid gland plays a role in virtually every system in our bodies, and our hair and nails are often the first to show signs of distress if the thyroid isn’t able to keep up to demand. Horizontal ridges called Beau’s Lines appear in our nails during times of high stress or serious illness. The lines reach to either side of the fingernail and can represent uncontrolled diabetes, high fever, pneumonia, or other serious illnesses. Dark bands at the tip of each fingernail may symbolize aging, or may have a more serious cause, like kidney disease, congestive heart failure, or diabetes. Spoon nails are soft nails that look like they have been scooped out.

They are most likely the sign of iron deficiency or a liver condition. Clubbed fingernails occur when the tips of the fingernails enlarge and the nails curve around the tips of the fingers. Clubbed fingernails often signal lung disease, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, or AIDS.

Skin Our largest organ, our skin, is also a good indicator of our overall health. It is easy enough to notice someone who has spent too much time in the sun or who is a heavy smoker because their skin will be wrinkled, leathery, and coarse. In contrast, healthy skin is smooth, and free from a multitude of blemishes or deep wrinkles. Our skin can provide early warning signs of cancer, endocrine related issues and gastrointestinal disorders. Deep ulcers that appear on the legs are likely a symptom of a gastrointestinal problem, whereas dark patches of skin with a thick texture are probably a sign of diabetes. Cancer shows itself on our skin in blemishes and lesions.

Using the ABCDE test can help to determine if a blemish is cancerous. A stands for asymmetric, B for irregular border, C for changing colour, D for a diameter greater than a pencil’s eraser, and E for elevated. This is just a preliminary test, however, and should never replace a visit to a doctor.

Keeping a watchful eye on the external signs that our bodies exhibit is a good way to stay in tune with what is happening internally. Knowing what to look for is important and a first step in recognizing serious illness or disease. The most important thing to remember when dealing with any sort of irregular condition in your body is to not leave anything to chance. If it looks like it is out of the ordinary be sure to check in with your physician for more information.

Most Canadians do not get all the nutrition they need from diet alone. Often we are lacking in one or many different vitamins and minerals. Our bodies express this lack of nutrition in a number of ways. Magnesium deficiencies often take the form of restless or cramping legs. Central to almost every system in our body, magnesium is an incredibly important mineral. After intense exercise, athletes drink sports beverages filled with magnesium and potassium. That’s because magnesium is excellent for relaxing muscles and preventing cramps. Most holistic doctors will swear by supplementing with magnesium for people experiencing restless legs syndrome or night cramps. Perpetual feelings of anxiety have also been related to mineral deficiency.

Studies have shown that selenium, a mineral that protects neurotransmitters, and gamma aminobutryic acid (GABA), an amino acid, both help to reduce anxiety. GABA is able to inhibit nerve transmission in the brain, which helps to stop nervousness. A zinc deficiency will often reveal itself in cuts that take longer than normal to heal or in white spots on fingernails. Minerals are essential for the chemical reactions that take place in our bodies. Our bodily functions cannot happen properly without adequate levels of minerals. Supplementing with a multivitamin which contains adequate amounts of all the necessary minerals is critical.

Five top reasons to make Peninsula Runners your running store

Keep kids’ smiles healthy, even through the Easter candy rush I

n terms of candy consumption volume, the Easter holiday is second only to Halloween. While baskets full of chocolates and candies can seem like a child’s dream come true, parents may cringe at the prospect of their little ones’ mouths filled with so much sugar.

Speak to your pediatrician about when to schedule baby’s first dental visit.

Set a good example and let your kids learn by watching and imitating you as you brush, rinse and floss.

Encourage your kids to brush in front of a mirror; it will help them see spots they may otherwise miss.

To help keep track of their oral care routine enlist the help of a brushing chart to record each time your child brushes.

Have plenty of oral care supplies on hand for your kids in the flavors and designs they’ll be excited to use to encourage proper oral hygiene.

Show kids with braces how to brush using a two-step approach — from the top down, and then the bottom up — to help dislodge any food that may be stuck in the brackets.

Oral health is an important issue, particularly for kids. Luckily, with good habits and the right tools, dental health issues like cavities are largely preventable — even if sweets are plentiful.

This Easter check out this fun EggSperiment from the Canadian Dental Association that teaches children how fluoride helps protect teeth from tooth decay.

Langley country duo Robyn and Ryleigh have signed with Royalty Records.

R&R go on the record DAN FER GUS ON L an gl ey Time s

Brody Shale, 13, and his Big Brother, Kip Webster, have been matched for the past five years. In that time, Brody has gone from a quiet and shy boy to a happy and confident teenager. Much of the credit for that goes to his relationship with Webster.

Little effort,

Big impact

BEING A BIG BROTHER HAS GIVEN LANGLEY’S KIP WEBSTER HUGE RETURNS ON A RELATIVELY SMALL INVESTMENT OF TIME BR EN D A AND E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

Brody Shale was a quiet and shy eightyear-old boy in need of a friend when he met his Big Brother, Kip Webster, five years ago.

In fact, “anti-social” is the first word that springs to mind when the now 13-year-old is asked to describe his younger self.

It’s certainly not a word that could be used to characterize the confident, smiling, well-mannered young teen today.

A better one would be “happy.”

And that is due, in very large part, to his friendship with Webster.

Sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Langley (Doing Business As “Langley Has Talent”) (In partnership with the Rotary Clubs of Langley, Langley Central, Sunrise & Aldergrove)

By the time he and Brody met, Webster, 49, had already been involved in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley program for five years and was ready to be matched with his second Little Brother.

“I chose Brody’s profile because he’s such a nice young lad,” said Webster, with a grin.

After Webster met Brody’s mom, Shannon, the pair were introduced by caseworkers at BBBS Langley and quickly hit it off, initially getting together hang out about once a week.

Whether they’re playing tennis or golf, heading into Vancouver for the day, walking Webster’s dogs or just staying in

and playing video games, the pair has no trouble finding activities they both enjoy.

The match has also given each of them opportunities to try something completely new.

A camping trip with another match, for example, took them 20 miles into the wilderness.

“I stayed up all night, worrying about bears, while Brody slept,” laughed Webster.

The pair also joins in regular BBBS group activities, as well, whether it’s a game of laser tag or a visit to the flight museum.

Continued Page 18

Langley’s country music sister act Robyn and Ryleigh have taken the next big step in their career, signing with Royalty Records.

The Edmonton-based record label is a distribution partner of Sony Music Canada.

Rob Smith, president and CEO of Royalty Records, said the first thing he noticed about Robyn and Ryleigh was their passion and energy.

“It was obvious to me that they were in their element. They performed a couple tunes for me and that was what did it. I saw just them stripped down and real,” he said.

The signing marks the biggest milestone yet for the Langley sisters, following a pair of 2012 BCCMA Award nominations and the 2013 release of their first full-length album and debut single, “Just Another Sundown”, which played on Canadian country radio and was picked up for video play by The Heartland Network (The Nashville Network) in America.

“We are beyond excited to join Royalty Records,” said the duo.

“The first time we met Rob, we knew this was going to be a great fit. The entire Royalty family shares our love of music and we are thrilled to be taking our next big step with them.”

The pair will continue to be managed by Raincoast Music.

Inspired by a recent songwriting trip to Nashville and a year of performances across B.C. and Alberta, Robyn & Ryleigh are poised for their first single release for Royalty Records this spring, followed by their second album later in the year.

Finding male volunteers continues to be a challenge From Page 17

“We’ve done so much over the years,” said Brody.

The best part of the match for the Little is “having a person I can rely on for pretty much anything — someone who cares what I think.”

“The great thing about being a Big, as well as friendship and trust, is being able to expose Brody to things he would otherwise be exposed to,” said Webster.

It’s a dynamic that works both ways.

“Brody taught me how to play video games. Before that, I hadn’t played 10 minutes.”

During the first year of the match, Webster and Brody made a point of getting together weekly. Now they usually hang out a couple of times a month.

As a small business owner, Webster has a

flexible schedule, but the two will often get together on an hour’s notice.

“I find it really rewarding. I look forward to getting together with Brody,” said Webster. “I see positive changes, as far as his attitude and demeanor.”

Webster isn’t 100 per cent certain how he first learned about Big Brothers, but he recalls seeing ads about the program, saying he could make a difference in someone’s life with a relatively minor time commitment.

“I learned more about it and it made sense. It’s just been a very, very good move for me,” he said.

“I would recommend anyone check into it. It’s a minimal investment with big rewards on both sides.”

Brody also has an eight-year-old brother who is still waiting for his match. He is just one of between 20 and 25 boys who are

on the Langley agency’s waiting list at any given time.

Some boys have been waiting as long as two years for a Big Brother, but the key isn’t simply finding a match, it’s making sure that it’s the right match, said Mary Reeves, executive director for BBBS Langley.

“It’s not just about how many (kids are on the list) but what their interests are.”

That attention to detail is evident in the average length of a match at the Langley agency, which is three years.

“When matches close, it’s usually because of a move or a major life change,” said Reeves.

“That’s not to say that every match is perfect but we do have a very good record.”

Another element that is crucial to the agency’s success is support from the community at large.

“The community has been super to us,

just phenomenal,” said Reeves. “We’ve got some pretty great support.”

BBBS Langley’s programs are funded in large part by three major events held each year. The first is Bowl for Kids Sake, which took place earlier this month and raised about $30,000. An annual golf tournament held in August and a November auction each raise about the same amount for the agency.

But all the financial support in the world doesn’t necessarily translate into new matches.

“Resources in general are an issue,” said Reeves. “In this agency, male volunteers are our biggest challenge.”

TWU grad show opens March 31 at museum TRANSPOSE EXAMINES SHIFTS IN THE ARTISTS’ VIEWS OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM

CHANTAL NEW subm itted ph oto

Senior art student Marissa Wagner is one of the artists featured in Transpose at the Langley Centennial Museum. An opening reception will be held on Tuesday, March 31 at 6:30 p.m. the exhibit will run until April 25 inside the gallery at 9135 King St. in Fort Langley. For more info., visit www.twu.ca/samc or www.langleymuseum.org

Trinity Western University students Katelyn Anderson, Chantal New, Meredith Radwanski, and Marissa Wagner will celebrate the culmination of their art education through the SAMC Art + Design program with an exhibition portraying a shift in the way they view the world.

Their exhibit, titled Transpose, opens later this month at the Langley Centennial Museum, featuring the graduating Art + Design class of Trinity Western University’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC).

The opening reception on March 31 is free and open to the public.

This collection of drawings, paintings, objects, and photographs represents the intangible elements of human nature in a way that is both personal and universal. Transpose explores fears, history, emotions, and memories as the artists abandon underlying assumptions in favour of curiosity and imagination.

New uses drawing and collage to give added meaning to archival photos of swimming and the Fraser Valley flood of 1948.

Her dark graphite “puddles” and other organic marks highlight the awkwardness and emotion inspired by the original photographs, which she discovered while volunteering at The Reach Gallery Museum in Abbotsford.

The Lonely, a tribute to Roy Orbison, coming to Summit An upcoming Langley concert promises to be a trip down memory lane for fans of the late Roy Orbison.

The Lonely — a tribute to the music of Roy Orbison — is a collection of songwriters who have played in a variety of original music projects. Their love of Orbison starts with their appreciation of his songwriting.

The Lonely is comprised of Mike Demers — vocals/guitar; Benji Coey — drums; Jack Weyler — keys; Amber Bosma — vocals; Melanie Wittar — vocals; Stephan Bozenich — bass/vocals; Chris Lloyd — guitar/ vocals.

Orbison, also known as The Big O, was unmistakable with his trademark sunglasses, his distinctive, powerful voice, his complex compositions and dark emotional ballads — including Only The Lonely, “Crying, and Oh, Pretty Woman.

The Lonely — a Tribute to Roy Orbison will perform Thursday, March 26 at the Cascades Casino Summit Theatre. Tickets are available for $32.50 (plus facility fee and service charges) at Casino Guest Services. Call 604-530-2211or visit www. ticketweb.ca. Doors open at 7 p.m., show begins at 8 p.m. For more information, visit a www.facebook.com/thisisthelonely.

The drawings now feel personal, New explained, even though the people and places are anonymous.

“My drawings illustrate the tenuous link between memories and photographs, exploring what it means to possess a moment from the past,” she said.

Human relationships with natural beauty—specifically the peaceful forests of the Pacific Northwest — piqued Radwanski’s curiosity.

Intrigued by the sometimes-ominous feeling of urban spaces contrasted with calming escapes into nature, Radwanski’s abstracted photographs investigate the effects of these different spaces on stress and anxiety.

Wagner’s work looks at the emotional responses that result from living under strict rules and stressful events, and Anderson’s sculptures and abstract paintings explore the intricacies of scarring and the healing process.

Presented as part of TWU’s Festival of the Arts, Media + Culture, with support from Flying Horse Design Studio, Transpose runs until April 25 at the Langley Centennial Museum, 9135 King Street, Fort Langley.

Opening reception is Tuesday, March 31 at 6:30 p.m. Free admission.

For more details, visit www.twu.ca/ samc or www.langleymuseum.org.

Golden boys: Langley tops in B.C. PEEWEE TIER 4 EAGLES RUN THE TABLE, RETURN FROM PROVINCIALS WITH GOLD MEDAL GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

It was not the start they were looking for.

The Langley Eagles were in the championship final of the provincial peewee tier 4 tournament in Kimberley last week against Fort Nelson.

And 10 seconds in, Fort Nelson scored to take a quick 1-0 lead.

“It started off quite challenging,” said Langley head coach Bryan Barratt.

hammered Fort Nelson 13-4, and defeated Houston 9-2. They closed the round robin with a 3-1 win over Revelstoke and 7-6 against Elk Valley.

Winning provincials is a huge accomplishment but right from the start of the season, Barratt and his coaching staff sensed they had something special with this squad.

“The coaching staff believed this was a special group of boys who had the talent, skill and attitude to do so,” he said.

“Things can go sideways so quickly, and the team, you always have challenges, but we really stayed focused as a team, everybody contributed and stayed focused on their role, and as a result, it was just a phenomenal experience for the boys.”

In addition to winning the gold medal at provincials, Langley won two other tournaments, as well as finishing second in another.

The Eagles went 45-14-3 overall.

Overtime heartbreak for Eagles in finals GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

It was the scenario every hockey player imagines: overtime with the gold medal on the line.

Sadly, it was not the ending they envisioned as the Langley A1 Eagles lost 4-3 in overtime to the Chilliwack A1 Bruins on Sunday night in the championship game of the provincial juvenile A1 hockey championships.

The tournament was held at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre with the host Chilliwack squad skating away with the gold medal.

“It’s life, it’s sports,” said Langley coach Larry Spady.

“Obviously the goal was the gold medal (but) the boys are alright.”

The game was a rematch of the opening contest from the provincial championships, which Chilliwack won 6-3.

Spady said his team was “a little too ramped up” in that one as they tend to play with a lot of emotion.

The Eagles broke into the win column in game two, defeating Juan de

Fuca 8-3. But in their second game on day two, they let a lead slip away, settling for a 6-6 tie with Coquitlam.

Needing to win their final two games to qualify for the gold-medal match, Langley came through.

Tied 1-1 against North Delta — the league’s regular season champions — the Eagles pumped home four third-period goals to win 5-1.

They then knocked off Port Coquitlam 7-3 to finish the round-robin with a record of 3-1-1 to secure second spot and a rematch with the Bruins (4-1-0).

And the gold-medal game got off to a fantastic start for the Eagles as they scored twice in the opening minutes to prompt Chilliwack to switch goaltenders.

Langley led 3-2 after one period and that score stood until late in the third period when the Bruins knotted the score at three.

“They got a late goal and then went into overtime, where anything can happen,” Spady said.

Stealth rally falls short against Mammoth GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

After battling back from a five-goal deficit to pull even, the Vancouver Stealth could not complete the comeback, falling 14-11 to the Colorado Mammoth.

“We had some real good scoring opportunities early and we didn’t score,” said Stealth coach Dan Perreault.

“You can’t get down that much, We came close, but we can’t put ourselves in that position.”

“The key moments were earlier in the game when we had great chances and we didn’t score.”

The Stealth were hosting the Colorado Mammoth at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night in the start of a National Lacrosse League homeand-home series between the two West Division rivals. They meet again on Sunday at Denver’s Pepsi Center.

The Mammoth improved to 6-5 while the Stealth fell to 4-6.

The game began slowly with both teams tied at two after one quarter and at four early in the second. But the Mammoth

scored twice before the half and then broke the game open with three goals to open the third.

The Stealth closed the quarter on a 5-1 run and then tied things early in the fourth.

“The way we played to battle back is how we have to play the whole game if we think we are going to win,” said the Stealth’s Rhys Duch.

Duch led the team with three goals and five points. He also passed Gary Rosyaki’s franchise record of 250 goals. Duch now has 251. He set the franchise points record earlier this season.

“It is cool. I will put the ball up on display in the man cave when I finally get a house,” Duch said.

“Other than that, it is certainly shadowed by the loss, for sure.”

The Stealth offence seemed to be just off on their passes, as well as firing several shots of target.

“We were so stagnant last week, I think we were trying to do a little too much,” Duch said about the team’s out-of-sync offence in the first part of the game.

“(But) you can’t blame your sticks. I think it was maybe wanting to do too much.”

The loss was the team’s second straight defeat.

The Mammoth were led by Adam Jones (two goals, six assists), John Grant Jr. (one goal, five assists) and Joey Cupido (three goals). They also got another big game from rookie Jeremy Noble, who was the first star with four goals and two assists.

He joined the Mammoth in a trade earlier this month from Rochester and has 13 points in two games.

Noble was the second overall pick in the NLL draft prior to the season and was chosen

by Rochester after the Stealth traded that pick as part of a package to land Johnny Powless and Joel McCready.

Powless (one goal, two assists), Tyler Digby (two goals, one assist) and Justin Salt (one goal, two assists) all had threepoint games. Corey Small (one goal, one assist), Chris O’Dougherty and Tyler Hass had a goal apiece.

The Mammoth outshot Vancouver 56-50.

Coach proud of team’s effort From Page 22

Spady has coached the majority of the players — who are 18, 19 and 20-years-old — at some point throughout their minor hockey careers.

And this marked the

third time one of his teams came up one game short of the gold medal, including also losing the provincial midget A1 final a few years ago.

“I have nine 1994born players who between them have more

than 120 years of playing minor hockey in Langley,” Spady said.

“This was the culmination of their minor hockey careers.”

Spady said he was most proud of how tight a group his players were.

The team finished with an overall record of 29-7-4.

It was also the squad’s second straight appearance at the provincial juvenile championships. They finished 2-3 at last year’s event.

Huge haul for Olympians Five days, three meets, dozens of swimmers and a whole lot of medals for the Langley Olympians Swim Club.

Members of the club were scattered in pools around the province, with strong showings in all three.

At the Swim B.C. AAA short course (25-metre pool) championships, which was hosted by the Surrey Knights Swim Club, the Olympians finished fourth overall.

Hugh McNeill led the way with five gold and two silver medals.

McNeill, 11, won gold in the 50 back, 100 back, 200 back, 200 free, 400 free and silvers in the 200 and 400 IM events.

Joshua Kim, 13, won a pair of gold in the 50 and 100 breast.

He also set new club records in both events.

Chelsea Borrowdale, 15, won gold in the 200 breast and silver in the 400 IM and 800 free.

She also took bronze in the 100 breast.

Renae Ledoux, 15, won gold in the 50 breast, 100 breast and bronze in the 200 breast.

Bailey Herbert, 13, won a pair of bronze medals in the 100 and 200 breast and Brayden Kells, 13, won silver in the 200 breast.

The Olympians also grabbed some medals in the relay

events.

Ryan Hunter, Dylan Thomas, Hugh McNeill and John Park won gold in the boys 11 and under 200 medley relay, as did the 14/15 girls team of Robyn Nakano, Renae Ledoux, Gabby Szalkai and Chelsea Borrowdale.

Two other relay teams also found the podium, with the quartet of McNeill, Hunter, Thomas and Michael Chung winning silver in the 11 and under 400 free. McNeill, Chung, Thomas and Park won bronze in the 200 free relay as well.

Another achievement at the meet was Ledoux and Borrowdale both achieving their senior national qualifying times in the 200 breast.

Following that meet, members of the Olympians attended the Swim BC senior open meet at the UBC Aquatic Centre in Vancouver.

The meet was a long course (50 metre pool) event and for those who had achieved two or more 16 and over AAA qualifying times.

Borrowdale, Hillary Metcalfe (16), David Pinsky (18) and Justin Schramm (17) represented the Langley club.

And Schramm came away with a gold in the 400 free and

silver in the 200 fly, while Borrowdale won silver in the 200 breast and 50 breast and bronze in the 200 IM. Metcalfe won bronze in both the 200 and 400 IM events.

And while some of the club members were at these provincial meets, the rest of the Olympians were in Tsawwassen for a regional meet.

Gold — Sophia Adrain (200 fly); Reagen Bedard (100 free, 100 breast); Reese Blunden (200 back); Sarah Buckingham (200 breast, 200 IM); Mackenzie Dong (800 free, 100 breast, 400 free); Cassidy Fu (100 fly); Brooklyn Gerber (50 free, 200 free); Isobel McNeill (200 IM, 200 back); Alanna Picotte (100 back, 100 free, 200 back).

Silver — Reagen Bedard (200 IM); Reese Blunden (100 back, 400IM); Sarah Buckingham (800 free, 100 free, 100 breast, 200 back); Cassidy Fu (50 fly); Brooklyn Gerber (200 IM); Isobel McNeill (100 back, 100 breast) and Katelyn Schroeder (100 free).

Bronze — Danika Bedard (200 breast); Reagen Bedard (100 back, 200 back); Reese Blunden (800 free; Nina Egi (50 breast); Cassidy Fu (50 free); Brayden Herbert (50 free, 200 back); Isobel McNeill (50 free); Alanna Picotte (200IM).

OT win sends Capitals to gold With overtime winding down, Brady Ewing squeezed by the defence and scored the game-winning goal, sending the Langley LY6 Capitals to the gold medal.

The midget hockey team was up against the Port Coquitlam Pirates in the championship final of the North Delta Spring Classic Tournament.

It ran March 14 to 18.

The Capitals trailed 1-0 heading into the second period, but Ewing set up Derek Warzal for the tying goal.

Langley’s penalty kill was also a big story in the

Perfect Pair extended by manufacturer until April 30, 2015!

game as after they tied the score, the team successfully killed off four consecutive Pirate power-play opportunities.

The tournament victory capped off an impressive showing for local teams as three of the top four finishers were from Langley.

Taking third spot were the Langley LY2 Average Joes and fourth went to the Langley C1 Ice Dawgz.

And this was the second major tournament victory for the Capitals as they also won the Richard Young Memorial Tournament in Coquitlam back in December.

OBITUARIES

PAWSON, Dorothy March 1, 1925 - March 20, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Dorothy Evangeline Pawson (nee Carlson) announces her sudden but quiet passing on March 20, 2015 at the age of 90.

Dorothy was born on March 1, 1925 in Rainy River, Ontario.

As a teen her family moved to Surrey, BC where she attended high school at Queen Elizabeth Secondary.

In 1946, she married Allan Pawson in St. Helen’s Church and began life as a wife and mother. Dorothy and Al raised their 5 children on 129 St among wonderful neighbours and friends, many of whom attended her 90th birthday party last month. Upon Al’s retirement from longshoring, they moved to “the farm� in Mission and spent 25+ years enjoying life in “god’s country� which they shared with their children, grandchildren and many of the great-grandchildren too. Many memorable summers and Christmas’s were spent together in that wonderful place.

Dorothy was generous of heart, giving many hours of volunteer service to her community well into her senior years as well as donations to charities that mattered to her and her family. She was also a keen card player, bingo and yahtzee enthusiast and lover of sweets - all of which she enjoyed partaking in with her grandchildren.

Dorothy moved to Langley and spent her last years close to her family, enjoying vacations and time with friends. She attended Christmas concerts, hockey & soccer games, birthday parties and grad ceremonies watching her great grandchildren grow up. She was a huge fan of large family gatherings and especially enjoyed summertime parties at Cultus Lake with everyone. Dorothy was a cheerful, fun loving woman until the end.

OBITUARIES

McIVOR, Ronald Keith Born in Carmen Manitoba November 17, 1938 – passed in Langley, BC March 16, 2015.

Ron sadly passed suddenly from complications after colon cancer surgery at Langley Memorial Hospital surrounded by his wife and children. He was given last rites by Father James Kairu of St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church. He has gone to join his parents Alice and Alexander McIvor, brothers Joe, George, Roger, and Alexander, sisters Ada and Eileen, in-laws Bernard and Anita Elshaw and recently sister-in-law Evelyn Bardenhagen.

Survived by devoted and loving wife of 42 years Heather Gail, daughters Cynthia (Bill) of Toronto and Kimberley (Alan, granddaughters Emma and Sophie) of Langley, sons Keith (grandson Darion) and Geordie of Langley. Also leaves to mourn his sister Yvonne (Dick) and his brother Lyle (Sharon), and niece Michele (Bob) and nephew Terry and many nieces, nephews and extended family in BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Minnesota and New York.

Ron was a great, hard working, self-sacrificing truck driver for 60 years in Manitoba and Lower Mainland BC, and still proudly held his Class 1 license. He retired in 2003 from Trimac Transportation after 28 years.

He also enjoyed vacationing in Mexico and was a great hockey fan.

A private family memorial led by a Catholic priest will be held as per his wishes. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Canadian Cancer Society in his name.
