PHYSICIAN ASSISTED DYING

Local MPs listened to opinions on an emotional subject.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

A public meeting about physician-assisted dying filled every seat in the Township Civic Facility’s Fraser River Presentation Theatre Saturday.

The meeting drew roughly 250 people and gave speakers an opportunity to provide their views to local MPs Mark Warawa and John Aldag.

The Supreme Court has instructed Parliament to create legislation on physician-assisted dying.

Warawa, the LangleyAldergrove MP, and Aldag, the Cloverdale-Langley City MP, are on a special joint committee that will report to the government.

It was an at-times emotional meeting that included a firsthand account of a loved one lost, as well as arguments opposing physician-assisted dying.

The Supreme Court requires Parliament to create a carefully designed system that imposes strict limits that are scrupulously monitored and enforced, Warawa said.

“It’s important that we look carefully at what the Supreme Court requires us to do,” he added. “This input was very helpful.”

Aldag said he was encouraged

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

People packed into the Township Civic Facility Fraser room Saturday for a public meeting on physician-assisted dying legislation. by the large turnout and “the engagement of our constituents on this important issue.”

“Canadians understand that physician-assisted dying is a personal and complex issue, and this was evident at the session,” Aldag said.

He added the government needs to ensure there are appropriate safeguards.

“We need to respect the medical community and the concerns they have with this issue and work with them to move forward,” Aldag said. “We also saw that some of the public is still misinformed about certain aspects of this issue, and this is one of the reasons we wanted to engage with them in this townhall.”

The committee is currently meeting at least five times a week, Aldag noted, and hearing from representatives of various

organizations.

The goal is to draft a new law ahead of its prospective June 2016 deadline – based on the government’s four-month extension granted by the Supreme Court.

The committee will report back with legislative recommendations by Feb. 26.

Among the speakers at Saturday’s meeting was Dr. Margaret Cottle, a palliative care physician and expert on the subject. She said “physician-hastened death” should not be made easy.

“That’s a big mistake, to make it easy,” Cottle said. “In fact, it’s not what the Supreme Court said: to look at the ruling, it says it should be the exception, rather than the rule.”

Cottle recommended that physician-assisted dying take place in a separate facility

specifically designed for this purpose alone, and include information, counselling, and referral, with people who are “very well trained to do this [procedure].”

“There could easily be a separate facility. It’s not like the person is going to be there for very long, we’re not going to be worried about blocking beds or anything like that, but what it does, is it removes this from everyday… medical services,” Cottle elaborated.

With a separate facility, when a person goes to “regular services” they have “no fear that their life is going to be taken against their will,” Cottle said.

“They know that if they go to this place, that is what the purpose is for.”

She noted that in palliative care, every patient request for “physician-hastened death” is not about wanting to die: it’s about intolerable suffering at some level.

“These patients and our society deserve that we as Canadians continue our compassionate heritage of caring for people,” she added. “We learned how to fish in the North Atlantic, for heaven’s sakes, and farm on the Prairies, so we can learn how to care for people well when they are in difficult circumstances.”

Close to 200 comment forms were filled out. Warawa delivered them to clerks of the special committee Monday, along with briefs that were submitted. > More: langleyadvance.com, search ‘assisted dying’

LAPS found the home of a long-lost dog.

MATTHEW CLAXTON

“I think it’s a total, true miracle,” said Patti De Vincenzi.

After De Vincenzi’s family dog Grizzly went missing 18 months ago, the family searched for weeks, checked with animal shelters in Surrey and Langley, and kept his picture on missing pet websites.

They had essentially given up when on Jan. 24, a passerby alerted Langley’s Patti Dale Animal Shelter to a stray chocolate lab near 256th Street.

Identifying tattoos inside the dog’s ear led the shelter to De Vincenzi, her husband

Stuart Bailey, and their children Shayla, Matteo, Zander, and Kristen.

“At first I don’t think any of us believed it,” said Matteo.

But Grizzly, lost from Fraser Heights in 2014, had turned up again.

Langley Animal Protection Society staff turned Grizzly over to Patti and Stuart’s family last month.

“As you can imagine, he and his family were over the moon with joy,” said animal shelter manager Sean Baker.

The dog remembered his family and ran up to greet them.

He’s even getting along well with twoyear-old Kristen, who was a tiny infant when Grizzly disappeared.

Where Grizzly was and what happened to him over the past

Dog owner charged with cruelty Yu Lin, the previous owner of an emaciated young husky dog who was found abandoned in Maple Ridge last January, has been charged with two counts of animal cruelty under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, following a BC SPCA investigation.

The BC SPCA was called to rescue the dog, who was found wandering alone in Maple Ridge.

The dog, now named Willow, weighed 15 kg upon intake, compared to a normal weight of about 24 kg for a dog of her age and breed, said Lorie Chortyk, general manager

of community relations for the BC SPCA. After making a full recovery Willow was adopted into a Langley family last March.

At the time she was found, Willow “was assessed with a score of ‘one’ on the canine body conditioning scale of one to nine, meaning that she was severely malnourished,” said Chortyk.

“When she first came in she was unable to lie down due to abdominal pain caused by rocks and soil in her gastrointestinal tract,” Chortyk added.

“There were no food rem-

nants in her stomach so it’s likely that she had been eating gravel to try to stay alive.

She also had trouble walking because her muscles were so weak.”

The BC SPCA’s Cruelty Investigations Department identified Willow’s former owner, a university student in his 20s, shortly after the investigation began and submitted recommendations for charges to Crown in February 2015.

Animal cruelty convictions can result in up to two years in jail, a maximum fine of $75,000 and up to a lifetime ban on owning animals.

Conference centers on overcoming adversity A TWU student is one of 16 speakers.

TROY LANDREVILLE sports@langleyadvance.com

Brianna Deutsch can pinpoint the defining moment when her obsession about her body image began consuming her.

Brianna was just 11, at her grandparents house, when she said, “If I was just thin enough, the kids would like me.

I would be approved of.”

Those preteen insecurities paved a long, hard road of challenges that took emotional and physical tolls on Brianna.

Brianna sharing her story takes extra significance as this week (Feb. 1 to 7) marks Provincial Eating Disorder Awareness Week (PEDAW).

Now 27, the Trinity Western University student will share her story at the She Talks Health & Fitness forum at the Langley Coast Hotel & Convention Centre Feb. 6.

She is among the 16 women who will speak about their personal stories and journeys through adversity.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and tickets are $45 each for adults, and $25 for students, and include lunch, refreshments and door prizes. For details visit www.

Brianna admits being nervous about sharing her trials and tribulations.

“It’s time for me to share my truth and share my story,” she said. “I wrestled with an eating disorder for the past 10 years and it was a journey to overcome it.”

This journey took her to an inpatient treatment centre in Chicago in 2010, followed by stays in a pair of transitional houses in California.

Langley resident Brianna Deutsch shares her story of overcoming eating disorders and substance abuse.

Troy Landreville Langley Advance

She was a bit pudgy growing up and after her first bout with anorexia, she started over-eating.

“I remember eating whole large pizzas and packing on weight,” Brianna said.

“Everyone was saying,

‘You have to start eating.’ My parents were worried, my friends were worried, so I’d say, ‘Fine, I’ll eat.’

Her weight would yo-yo; from 115 pounds to 215 pounds.

She dropped out of university, and

“I didn’t want to change,” she recalled.

“I said all these proper words but didn’t want to do the hard work.”

And hard work has brought Brianna to the place she is today.

became bulimic.

“I started abusing other substances,” Brianna added. “I want to escape reality.

I finally said to my parents that I had to get help.”

When she sought treatment in Chicago, Brianna had high expectations.

“In all honesty it was a great bubble; it kept me safe and taught me great skills about how to cope,” Brianna said.

When she returned home, the bulimic and anorexic tendencies started up.

No true meaning of Family Day

Problems new and old for Libs

O

ttawa must appear to Justin Trudeau and the Liberals right now as a big rock in the woods.

They tipped it over, and now they’re staring, aghast, at everything that’s crawled out from underneath.

The Conservatives seem to have spent the last year or so in power ignoring or papering over problems rather than solving them. Who wants to go into an election with a bunch of half-solved problems weighing down the party, after all?

Now, with the most recent report of the Auditor-General, we’re seeing many of the problems in the light for the first time, and some of them are ugly.

• Huge and increasing wait lists for Canada Pension Plan disability claims appeals. Some who have won their appeals are waiting a year or more to start getting paid.

• Canada Border Services is underfunded – which means stolen cars are flowing out of the country, along with illicit drugs.

• Shared Services Canada is over budget, behind schedule, or simply failing at providing information services.

Most alarming is that a service it provided to connect thousands of emergency responders crashed for 40 full minutes in 2014. And because of poor oversight, no one knows how much some of its projects cost. (Just a guess here, but

probably a lot more than the original budgets.)

• Military housing is in disarray, and there is no apparent plan to deal with empty on-base housing units.

Then there are the other problems that have been brewing through the Supreme Court.

• The Liberals are putting together a law for doctor-asMATTHEW sisted suicide, after the Tories dragged their feet following the court overturning the old law.

• The Tories re-wrote prostitution laws following another court ruling on a charter, but Bill C-36 faces a challenge in the near future. So the Liberals will have to choose to let that go to the Supreme Court again, or to re-write a contentious piece of legislation, which is unlikely to win them a lot of friends no matter what they do.

And that’s on top of an already-ambitious legislative agenda that includes everything from the (delayed) Syrian refugee plan to legalizing pot to pumping money into infrastructure and the economy.

I doubt Stephen Harper is feeling good about any of this, really. He was always an ideologue and a policy wonk when he

Painful Truth

t’s hard to say anything about “the right way to celebrate Family Day.” Our newest provincial holiday is just four years old this year, implemented by the province for the first time in 2013 (just in time for a provincial election).

It isn’t even our idea. Feb. 8 is also being celebrated as Family Day in Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. PEI celebrates Prince Edward Islander Day, Nova Scotia celebrates a Heritage Day and Manitobans mark Louis Riel Day in February.

There’s no religious, cultural, or historic purpose attached to the day. It was put in place purely to give everyone a bit of a break during the longish slog of no-holidays between New Year’s Eve and Easter.

Family Day’s name is an exercise in branding, pure and simple, a voter-friendly name plastered on something. It could have been called Winter’s Almost Over Day or Second Groundhog Day or Lie at Home Eating Waffles and Watching Netflix Day. But, cynical as we may be, it’s not a bad idea to call it family day.

Christmas and New Year’s are often a mixture of wonderful and stressful.

Winter, with its long dark days and frequent torrential rain, can bring people’s moods down.

One of the best ways to recharge and re-energize, before spring finally bursts free and we can enjoy a bit of sunshine (or at least warmer rain showers), is to spend time with those who are special to us.

So this coming Family Day long weekend, try to make some time a group activity with your loved ones. Go for a walk.

Play a board game. You could even host your own version of Waffles & Netflix day, if you make enough for two or three or a dozen people.

Don’t worry about narrowly defining who your family is for this Family Day. Husbands and wives, parents and kids, siblings, and good friends.

In fact, if we really want to keep the spirit of Family Day in our hearts all year, maybe the government could hold it two or three times annually? How about it, politicians?

– M.C.

was in office, and I’m sure if he were still the PM, he’d be spinning away, promising to fix all of this.

But he may have a small smirk right now, watching Justin Trudeau walk into problem after problem. Now he gets to see what it’s like.

There’s always a few of these land mines waiting for any new government. But the new government’s path CLAXTON seems strewn with more than the normal amount.

And in many ways, they’re the most dangerous kind of problems to have – the ones that have little to no partisan component.

Managing CPP files? Stopping stolen cars from heading overseas? Paying for proper electronic communications?

These are something that every government is expected to do competently.

And it doesn’t matter who created the original problems – they now belong to the Liberals.

Before the election, people talked about whether Trudeau could do everything he promised. But dealing with everything that crawled out from under the rock? That will be the big challenge for this government.

Vaxxers have false sense of safety

Dear Editor, I am writing in response to an opinion piece by Mr. Groeneveld [Educated ignorant get no apology, Jan. 28, Langley Advance] While I do realize it is an opinion piece, I would like to bring up some interesting facts that many people do not know when it comes to vaccines: 1.) Raw data shows that deaths from childhood diseases were already on the decline prior to the introduction of vaccines; 2.) Vaccines actually reduce immunity to diseases; 3.) The CDC recently admitted that the whooping cough (B pertussis) vaccine is ineffective.

In September 2013, there was a B pertussis outbreak in a Florida preschool.

4.) Vaccinated children are carriers of diseases they are

inoculated against. I cannot emphasize this enough as there seems to be a false sense of safety with those who vaccinate that they do not and will not carry the disease – that they are in no way contributors to the spreading of disease.

We expect, as a society, that our health professionals have our best interests in mind. It’s not that they don’t, because I truly believe that the large majority do.

I believe that they are too reliant upon drug-company safety studies – studies that FDA relies upon in order to approve drugs.

Let me repeat that: FDA does not independently verify safety of drugs, they rely upon drug companies to do this for them.

The “Educated Ignorant” are not those people who simply refuse to vaccinate.

The “Educated Ignorant” are those people who refuse to do the research with an open mind and instead do whatever the government health authorities tell them, without questioning the data.

In order to be an informed parent, one must research and ask questions.

However, if you still decide to vaccinate your child, then the anti-vaxxers should respect that decision.

Likewise, if you decide not to vaccinate your child, then the vaxxers should also respect that decision.

Demonizing each other for the choices made is counter-productive to the advancement of society as a whole.

however this proposal could use some understanding.

It’s a historical constant in most B.C. municipalities that growth costs the general taxpayer more than Development Cost Charges (DCCs) and other fees cover.

Candidates meeting key Dear Editor, As a Langley City taxpayer since the early 1980s and planning to vote in the by-election, I would like to know if there will be an all candidates meeting or debate hosted?

I believe voters who participate in civic elections, few that they are, would like to have an opportunity to enquire about the candidates’ position on certain challenges before the city.

One of the concerns I harbour is the ever returning amalgamation debate with regards to City/Township that occurs at general election time.

This will not be an issue for this election in general, however I would not like to see us provide the Township with a proactive City councillor who would support amalgamation.

Rest assured I have no agenda, other than to see if we can have an opportunity to pose questions to these individuals with regard to the running of Langley City’s interests.

I hope everyone with the right to vote comes out and participates in this vote Feb. 27.

That in itself could be considered a relative level play field.

Getting developers to pay for everything sounds like an easy solution but it is a deceptive inaccuracy.

Developers are business people and like any business they add up all their cost… then tack on their profit.

The people who pay for it all are the end users, the people buying the products. In this case, housing mortgage holders.

The more governments require developers to do, the harder it becomes for purchasers of houses, dwelling units, (think first-time buyers) to qualify for mortgages.

If they do save up enough down payment and get a mortgage, then those costs that the developer passed on to the homeowner get amortized (expanded/ prolonged) as a bigger future burden to the mortgage holder.

In other words, collecting more charges/

fees from developments does not mean the developer is paying for them. If you start more layers of complicated fees/charges etc. it has the effect of blurring the lines, a muddle of costs community to community within the Township.

It would make it more difficult to keep track of relative taxpayer growth costs per unit. Just trying to explain and understand all the charges becomes a complex challenge and adds more bureaucratic staff time costs.

Is it fair to add growth costs to some new homeowners’ mortgages to pay for future policing, fire protection, rec improvements, libraries etc. when other low development or existing communities’ mortgage holders do not?

Conclusion/opinion…

Keep it as simple as possible for everyone.

$500 HUNTER DOUGLAS REBATE

Omar Figueroa Ramirez has filed a labour complaint about his time as a foreign worker on a Langley blueberry farm.

“I was hoping for a good work experience in Canada,” the 24-year-old recalls in an interview with The Vancouver Sun. “In Mexico, the Mexican people, we think that Canada is the best place in the world.

But everything changed. My dream became a nightmare.”

With legal help from the West Coast Domestic Workers’ Association, Ramirez has lodged an official complaint with the B.C. Employment

Standards Branch demanding that his ex-employer, farmer owner Randhir Singh Pandher, pay almost $20,000 in wages, overtime and vacation pay.

Pandher, of New Westminster, refused to be interviewed. He issued a written statement: “The first we have heard of any complaints was when The Vancouver Sun contacted us. Having briefly reviewed the complaint, we disagree with the version of events presented. We will present our side of the story during the complaint process.

We feel partaking in a public dispute in the media is not appropriate; thus, we will not be commenting further.”

Special to the Langley Advance

Cinnamon and Erik Dagsvik did 3½ years of detective work to find out why the power bill was so high for their 1,500-square-foot 1950s rental home on a blueberry farm.

Landlord Randhir Pandher had put most of the electricity costs for his entire Langley farm on their bill.

M. Coyne, an arbitrator with the Residential Tenancy Branch, ordered Pandher to compensate them $4,050,

which has been paid.

According to Coyne’s written decision, the Dagsviks began renting the farm home on June 15, 2012, at $1,500 a month plus utilities including hydro.

The couple contacted BC Hydro only to learn that there were two meters on the farm – one for their rental house, the landlords’ house, the barn, shops and chicken coop, the other for the farm water shed only.

When the Dagsviks complained to Pandher Oct. 19, 2015, he argued the tenants

verbally agreed to the arrangement. The next day Pandher had electricians in to separate the hydro for the rental home and the farm, but refused financial compensation.

Coyne stated that even if such a verbal agreement had existed, it “would be grossly unfair to the tenants and an unconscionable term of any agreement. Tenants are only required to pay utilities for premises that they occupy.”

Ramirez worked alone on a 16-hectare property on 224th Street, Pandher Farms, with no access to public transit and with limited understanding of English and his rights.

He “lacked personal freedom,” endured long shifts without overtime pay, worked six or seven days a week, often had hotdogs for meals, had his movements monitored by video cameras (including one right outside his room), and was almost always paid in cash without pay stubs, according to his complaint which comes up at a Feb. 16 meeting.

While most B.C. drivers are honest when it comes to making insurance claims, there are a few that are hurting things for the rest of us in the province.

Industry studies estimate that about 10 to 20 per cent of all insurance claims contain an element of fraud or exaggeration. Applying those estimates here means fraud is costing us up to $600 million per year, or more than $100 annually on every auto insurance policy.

Other types of fraud are less obvious.

Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It’s not unheard of for people to embellish their claim by including vehicle damage unrelated to the crash, or to claim they can’t work when they’re actually back on the job. These tactics may not make the news, but the costs add up and come out of all of our pockets – we all end up paying for those who cheat the system.

ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims les. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims.

They’re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that ags patterns and predictors of fraud.

By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates.

Fraud. It cheats us all.

Langley is the site of a truffle hunt and lunch on Sunday.

The B.C. Truffle Association has three fundraising events this weekend including the hunt in east Langley using trained truffle dogs and a lunch at Chaberton Estate Winery.

Truffle experts were in Langley recently and found a rare variety.

“We found Tuber borchii (bianchetto) in the orchard.

This is the first occurence in Canada,” said Sharman Gamiet, with the association.

The fundraisers are to help the work of the UBC farm.

“There have been native truffles collected in the Lower Mainland for quite awhile, however in the Fraser Valley, cultivated ones have only been collected once on one orchard, and then the T. borchii found a few days ago,” she explained.

The industry is very new to this province but hopes to cash in on international demand for the fungus. For instance an online gourmet food site is selling white Italian truffles for

B.C. Truffle Association

A recent truffle hunt in Langley turned up a tuber borchii, the first time this species has been found in Canada. $383 per ounce (28 grams).

“It takes a lot of effort and time for an orchard to be producing. In addition, trained dogs are needed for harvesting so it is premature to speak about a sustainable truffle industry in the Lower Mainland. There are people with trained dogs who do hunt for native truffles that are sold to chefs. The exciting thing is that we are able to cultivate Mediterranean truffles in the Lower Mainland,” she said.

The truffle orchard consists of specific trees that can grow the fungii.

“Trees have been in the ground for six to seven years, and this is the first year that truffles have been harvested from it,” she explained.

The association will be out in Langley again before the Sunday fundraiser to do more hunting so the chefs will have some to work with.

“If we find many we will give them to chefs doing the Saturday dinner and Sunday lunch. We like the chefs to have them before they prepare the meals. However, if we find many on the Sunday hunt, we will give them to chef doing the lunch,” Gamiet said.

The Langley event costs $80.

After a visit to a local truffle orchard where Mediterranean truffles have been harvested, the participants will go to a natural forest where trained dogs will be used for the truffle hunt, followed by the truffle-themed lunch.

There’s also a presentation at UBC’s farm Feb. 6 for $30 and a truffle feast at a secret Vancouver location Saturday evening for $99.

ometimes it takes an outsider to see the uniqueness of a place.

Ross Browne and his family moved from Scotland to Canada in 2006, and now this Trinity Western University study is on stage playing the most quinessentially Canadian thing – a Mountie.

Browne, studying sociology, is cast in The Longest Way Home in the TWU New Generations, a one-week festival of plays written and/ or directed by current and former students.

“I was extremely excited to find out that I would be donning the red serge in The Longest Way Home,” Browne said. “Purely by coincidence I imagine, as I don’t think the director was aware that I plan to apply to the RCMP after graduation, and that I currently volunteer with them here in Langley. Maybe some things are just meant to be.”

The six-member cast includes everyone from first years to fifth years.

Nutrition can be improved by a layer of compost or topsoil, by reseeding where necessary and setting the mower on a high cut in summer and leaving grass clippings on the lawn.

Sometimes shade is the main problem. Some mossplagued people decide to love moss.

Shallots can be planted outdoors now and by the end of February or in early March you can plant seeds of broad beans, arugula, spinach, parsley, radishes and peas.

Leeks can be started inside now. You may want to decide whether you prefer summer leeks such as Varna or Megaton which grow fast and mature early.

The alternative is winter leeks such as Bandit or Tadorna which grow and

mature more slowly and are extremely hardy.

Tomatoes and peppers can also be started inside and people with a sheltered place, maybe a greenhouse or a covered patio, will have started them already.

Though it can be very awkward when huge tomato plants overflow windowsills, there’s no more space inside and cold weather outside.

Squash, pumpkins and zucchini pose an even worse problem since they’re extremely fast growers.

Dahlias and begonias can be started indoors now. Soon summer bulbs will be in garden centres. Alliums are especially interesting because the bulbs are hardy and some kinds colonize readily.

Why straighten teeth?

These days with regular dental care, teeth should last a person’s lifetime. Crooked teeth and jaws can interfere with jaw function and speech, and lead to longterm dental problems such as tooth wear and gum damage. Orthodontic treatment fixes these problems, laying the foundation for you or your child’s long term dental health.

An attractive smile will also boost selfconfidence, helping you or your child to achieve his or her full potential.

A common issue with eyeglasses is glare on the lenses. Not only does the glare affect the cosmetic appearance of your glasses but also improves how well we see.

Anti-reflective coating significantly reduces the amount of light that is reflected off of the surface of the lenses. This results in more light reaching the eye, less visible glare to the wearer (think oncoming headlights) and more crisp and clear vision.

Cosmetically the lenses are much more transparent and people will see your eyes better. All anti-reflective coatings are not equal. Better quality anti-reflective coatings are easier to clean, more scratch resistant and even protect your eyes from UV light.

A:

A: First

decide upon which kind of martial art you are looking for, then research schools in your area which feature that art. Ask friends for a referral, then check out websites to give you a visual representation of facilities, their students, school philosophies, and shared values. A high rating with the Better Business Bureau will tell you a lot about the quality of the school. Make a list of the things that are most important to you, such as class times, costs, expected commitment, distance from home, and most importantly, what the school’s priorities are relative to the development of yourself or your child.

Always book a trial to decide if the school is a good “fit” for you before registering into a full program.

Title Insurance protects homeowners and mortgage lenders against losses from title fraud, survey issues (improper boundaries, encroachments, rights of way) & title defects.

If a fraudulent mortgage is registered against your property, Title Insurance can cover the legal costs in proving that a fraud occurred.

If the addition of a deck is made, prior to you becoming the owner, and it is discovered that no permit was taken, the costs involved of removing and correcting the improvement may be covered by your policy.

Should a workshop, shed or addition encroach on a neighbouring lot, you could be liable to have it removed and pay for legal costs in redefining the property lines. Again the Title Insurance Policy could protect you from this cost.

Title Insurance for a detached or strata property is a one-time fee, typically under $200, and is dealt with at the time of Conveyance.

SPORTS ROUNDUP

FIELD LACROSSE

’Men down Eagles, Team Tardi bronzed

Willoughby hosts B.C.’s

sports@langleyadvance.com

The 2016 Subway British Columbia Lacrosse Association (BCLA) field lacrosse provincial championships will run Friday through Monday (Feb. 5 to 8) at Willoughby Community Field.

Forget about the fact they have a measly six wins in 47 games this season – the Surrey Eagles are not an easy out.

The Langley Rivermen are well aware of this, and just managed to clip the Eagles in B.C. Hockey League action Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre (LEC).

The ’Men spotted the Eagles an early 1-0 lead before skating to a 4-2 win, to improve their record to 27-18-2-1.

The local juniors now sit two points back of the Wenatchee Wild in a two-team battle for second spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division.

Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson was happy with his team’s grit in the final game of what was a gruelling weekend (Sunday’s game was Langley’s third in as many days, and the ’Men were coming off a tough 5-2 loss to the Wild the night before at the LEC).

“I thought we played well,” Henderson said. “We stuck to our game plan cap and when we needed it, we got good goaltending. They [the Eagles] battle hard every game, so to get two points against them is big.”

After Surrey’s Jeffrey Stewart opened the scoring 11:07 into the opening frame, the Rivermen responded with three quick goals in the final three minutes of the period, including two back-to-back from Matty Saharchuk and one off the stick of Max Kaufman.

Justin Fregona’s 23rd of the season late in the second period put the ’Men ahead 4-1.

The third period was highlighted by a few brilliant saves

The U18, U15 and U13 (Tier 1 & 2) boys field lacrosse provincial tournament runs over four days at the fields beside the Langley Events Centre.

public notice Make a Difference Where You Live, Work, or Play The Township of Langley Adopt-a-Program is a great opportunity to get outside and make a difference where you live, work, or play, which benefits all Township of Langley residents.

You can adopt a street, park, trail, or creek.

Adopt-a-Program 604.532.7300 adopt@tol.ca

All remaining residential roads When snow accumulation exceeds 250 mm (10 inches) in the centre of the travel portion of the road, as measured by a Township roads superintendent, a pass of a plow may be made. Intersection sanding and salting will be completed when conditions warrant.

Be safe this winter. Visit tol.ca/stormresponse for all storm-related safety tips and materials. And sign up for eAlerts to be informed of any emergency issues. Visit tol.ca/eAlert to join the list for email notifications.

Engineering Division 604.532.7300 opsinfo@tol.ca

Flooding: Preventative Maintenance While Township crews routinely inspect culvert trash racks and storm systems to make sure they are functioning efficiently, conditions can change rapidly during storm season.

You can do your part to reduce flooding risks by completing some of these simple preventative maintenance measures: • Clear nearby curbs and catch basins of leaves and debris, especially during heavy rain, as water running off the street will carry more leaves and debris into the curb.

• Do not rake leaves from your property or boulevard onto the street or into open ditches.

• Collect and compost leaves on site or bag them for future pickup.

• Clear debris that has collected in driveway culverts and resulted in blockages and check ditches in front of your property for blockages.

To report flooding problems that are not directly related to your property or to report flooding occurring on municipal property, phone 604.532.7300 between 8:30am and 4:30pm, Monday through Friday, or call 604.543.6700 after hours.

Engineering Division 604.532.7300 opsinfo@tol.ca

Hired Equipment Pre-Qualification The Township of Langley invites submissions from qualified contractors to be included on a pre-qualified list for hired equipment.
