Several men with high-profile murder convictions have posted profiles on a Canadian inmate pen-pal website, including a Langley man. The Province compiled a list of inmates who committed homicides or homicide-related crimes in B.C. and

With summer barely underway, Metro Vancouver has put further water restrictions in place due to hot and dry weather. On Friday Metro Vancouver entered the second stage of a four-stage plan. “We had lower than normal amounts of snowfall and precipitation this fall and winter, meaning there was less water available in reserve, and summer arrived in full force early this year,” said Township environmental coordinator Meaghan Norton Daniel. “The high water demand that comes with extremely hot conditions means that Metro Vancouver’s reserves are being depleted much sooner, and at a faster rate than normal.” In Langley Township, most of the western portion of the community is on Metro Vancouver water. But Aldergrove and the Gloucester Industrial Estates are on a water system that draws from local wells. So far there hasn’t been any issues, as far as Township Mayor Jack Froese was aware, and staff are monitoring water levels. With so much media attention to the dry weather, Froese said it seems that most people know to conserve. “I’m hoping they’ve really got the message,” Froese said. Langley City is likewise under Metro Van water rules, and both communities can hand out tickets for those who water outside of the allowed times, noted City Mayor Ted Schaffer. Seasonal lawn sprinkling regulations took effect on June 1. Under the current regulations, watering lawns is permitted only in the People have mornings, and only one day a week. to re-adjust Even numbered their thinking. addresses may sprinkle lawns from Pam Erikson 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday, while odd-numbered may sprinkle on Thurdays. Tuesdays and Wednesdays commercial and other non-residential properties can sprinkle their lawns, with even numbered addresses Wednesdays, and odd addresses Tuesdays, from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. The lawn sprinkling restrictions only apply to grass, not to vegetable gardens or flower beds. Although water use is restricted mostly for lawns, local daylily grower Pam Erikson expects interest in drought tolerant gardening to grow. Erikson’s perennials need very little water, and bloomed quite well this year. She runs classes every spring on how to garden with little watering, and she expects more interest next year. “People have to re-adjust their thinking as to what they’re growing,” Erikson said. Public and commercial fountains and water features must be shut down. Spray parks with user-controlled buttons can stay open, so Langley Township spray parks can operate. The restrictions also ban washing or pressure-washing driveways and sidewalks for aesthetic purposes. Washing pavement for health and safety reasons is still permitted. Washing cars is allowed, if a spring-loaded nozzle is used. Although locals on wells are allowed to water as much as they want, the Township is encouraging everyone to cut back on water use. Some Township civic water comes from wells which draw on the same ground water that private wells use. Municipal governments enforce the watering restrictions. The last time Metro Vancouver implemented second-stage water shortage restrictions was 2003. The water restrictions will remain in place until Sept. 30.
