Pat Dawson will never forget her encounter with a young single mom who couldn’t read. It happened during a visit to a transition house for a library story-time program. As part of the program, parents and

children would pick a book to read together. When the young mother asked Dawson to read with her and her son, she soon realized why. The three of them sat down and went through the book. Later on, Dawson gave the mom a copy of the book they’d read together

to keep. The grateful woman hugged it to her chest. “She told me she had never learned to read, but she was going to make sure that her son would learn to read, and he would learn to love to read,” Dawson said.

Langley Township fire department will not carry Narcan kits on their fire trucks to deal with drug overdoses at this time, said assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson. Administered early enough, Narcan or naloxone can reverse an opioid drug overdose and potentially save lives. Last week, firefighters in Surrey and Vancouver became the first to carry the kits. Both those municipalities had the highest number of overdose deaths in B.C. last year. “So far, they are the only ones that have been OK’d to try this pilot project,” said Ferguson. “Administrating Narcan is so far not in our scope of practice.” Ambulance paramedics have long been equipped with the drug, but the program is being expanded to include firefighters after an increase in overdoses to opioid drugs, such as heroin, oxycodone and fentanyl. Fire departments across the province may be able to join the program by signing an agreement with B.C. Emergency Health Services to provide physician oversight, after regulations were changed this month to allow fire rescue first responders to administer nalaxone. Continued Page 5

One injured in Langley City apartment fire Building residents evacuated D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

One occupant of a Langley City apartment building was taken to hospital for treatment of what was described as minor smoke inhalation after a Saturday morning (Jan. 30) fire forced the evacuation of a building in the 20800 block of 56 Avenue. The fire, reported around 7:30 a.m., started in the storage unit of a second-floor suite. The apartment and the unit directly below it suffered smoke and water damage. Residents of the other suites were allowed to return the next day. A restoration company was working on repairs by Wednesday. The fire department said the cause of the blaze was still under investigation, but it did not start in the electrical wiring or the hot water tank of the suite, nor does it appear to be suspicious. Four fire vehicles along with RCMP and ambulance attended the fire. TransLink provided a bus as a temporary shelter for the evacuated residents.

Fire, ambulance and police responded to an apartment fire in Langley City on Jan. 30. There were no reported injuries, but residents were left temporarily homeless as a result of fire and water damage.

U.S. border guards allowed Langley mother to abduct her four children DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

A Langley woman managed to take her four children across the border into the U.S. at the Aldergrove crossing despite a B.C. court order banning her from taking them out of the province. A just-released Abbotsford Provincial Court written judgment shows the woman was allowed to cross the line in September, 2014 even though she told the U.S. authorities at the border about the non-removal order, and even though the father of the children discovered the attempted removal and went to the border crossing. “He was able to see them (the children) across a counter, but was not allowed to speak to them,” Judge Kenneth Skilnick wrote. “He watched them leave with the

(mother).” Because the woman was an American citizen and her Canadian-born children have dual citizenship, the United States Homeland Security officers “came to the conclusion that they had no grounds to prevent (them) from entering into the United States.” After the mother and children got past the border, they spent several weeks on the road, staying in hotels and homeless shelters, before arriving at a relative’s home in North Carolina, the decision said. When the father learned where they were staying and tried to follow them more than a month later, he was detained by U.S. Homeland Security officers and almost missed his flight to North Carolina, the judge noted. However, the father managed to get a

court order from an American judge to return his children, and “with the assistance of local police officers,” took them home to Canada. The details of the story were recounted during a five-day hearing when the mother applied for an order that would give her custody of the children and allow them to live in Washington state. Judge Skilnick denied the application, noting the mother “has demonstrated an unwillingness to follow (court) orders” and “an unwillingness to accept the conclusions of police, doctors, social workers, close friends and family, where those views do not accord with her own.” The Dec. 11, 2015 judgment was recently posted on the Provincial Court website, with the full names of the parents and children removed.

Dollar drop hurts library Patrons can expect less selection and longer waits as book costs rise DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

The fall of the Canadian dollar has been bad news for the Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL), which operates 25 community libraries, including all of the public library branches in both Langleys. People who use the library can expect slightly fewer available copies of books and slightly longer waits for on-hold titles. That’s because the FVRL, like most Canadian libraries, buys 80 per cent of its books from the U.S. In 2015, the year the Canadian dollar did a nosedive against the U.S. currency, the FVRL reduced the number of books and other “physical items” it purchased from 187,000 to 180,000. In January of 2015, the Canadian currency was worth about 86 cents U.S. By January of this year, it had fallen to 71 cents. The change in the exchange rate has increased the cost of U.S. books by about 30 per cent, FVRL Chief Executive Officer Scott Hargrove estimates. “Our ability to purchase has declined quickly and badly,” Hargrove said. “It’s been a big hit, no question about it.” The library has managed to avoid steep cuts by trimming the number of copies it buys of any given title and by moving money around to help maintain book purchases. Library users will notice some less-popular titles aren’t as available, Hargrove said. “When you’re buying fewer copies, people have to wait longer (for an on-hold book).” It helps that the library recently won approval for a modest budget increase, which isn’t enough to completely cover the rising price of U.S. sourced materials, but will make a difference. This year, the FVRL expects it will be able to maintain purchases at close to last year’s level. The FVRL is the largest public library system in the province. It serves over 700,000 people, with funding coming from municipalities and the provincial government.

Foundation of FVRL is literacy in all forms, says retiring librarian From Page 1

“I floated back to work.” Dawson, who will retire this March as the library manager for the City of Langley library branch (and the Terry Fox Library in Port Coquitlam), has been promoting literacy and a love of reading for the last 17 years with the Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL). “Our foundation is literacy in all forms,” Dawson told the Times. “We are working with the whole community to break

down barriers.” It was at her first job, with the New Westminster Public Library children’s department, that Dawson developed her love of children’s literature and recognized the impact that early literacy can have on a community. She later took a partial detour from her profession to raise a family and work in ESL education, then returned to work at the FVRL. Dawson started at Maple Ridge Public Library as a public services librarian and then

supervisor of information services. In 2007, she became Library Manager for the City of Langley and Port Coquitlam. Now that she’s retiring, Dawson plans to work as a literacy volunteer. She is also looking to having more time to read just for fun, and will likely re-read Lost Horizon by James Hilton, one of her favourite works of literature that she describes as a “book that sticks.” “I still get a kick out of it,” she said.

SheTalks Health and Fitness forum set for this Saturday Speakers hope to affect audiences through storytelling, not speeches Several women from Langley are among 16 scheduled speakers at the SheTalks Health and Fitness forum. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday (Feb. 6) at Langley Coast Hotel & Convention Centre. LeiLani, founder of the Sweet LeiLani brand, is among the presenters. LeiLani started a volunteer program to teach burn, trauma and cancer patients how to use corrective makeup and put on wigs. Trinity Western University student Brianna Deutsch will talk about her struggles with an eat-

ing disorder. Other speakers include Thea Hill, a mother, leg amputee and member of the Canadian Sledge hockey team and a Surrey woman who lives with chronic pain but has found a way to live a fulfilling life. SheTalks attempts to creates impact through eight minutes of real storytelling — not speeches. Why eight minutes? Because March 8 is International Women’s Day, explain the organizers. Tickets are $45 for adults, $25 for students and include lunch at shetalkshealthandfitness.ca

No overdose epidemic in Langley, says Township assistant fire chief From Page 1

Firefighters in Langley attend overdoses all the time, said Ferguson. But he said he personally hasn’t heard that there is an increase in overdoses locally. “Definitely not an epidemic. Drug overdoses are not specific to a neighbourhood or class of people. “Drugs impact families in all demographics.” Last week in Maple Ridge, a

The second annual Fraser Valley Family Day takes place at Langley Events Centre with kids’ games, activities, the Rivermen game and a public skate with the hockey players after. All the skating rinks in Langley have free public skates. Free swimming is being offered at the pools. Check with each facility for times. The Museum of Flight is inviting families to come for hot apple cider and the chance to sit in a Snowbird jet. The Langley Centennial Museum in Fort Langley will host several activities, including a scavenger hunt. Next door the historic fort is also offering Family Day events. Willowbrook Mall is hosting Peace Play day, involving Lego.

overdose deaths involved fentanyl — either the dangerously potent synthetic opiate by itself or mixed with other drugs — and that proportion has steadily climbed over the past three years. The Ministry of Health estimates that 370 opioid drug overdoses have been reversed by the treatment. — files from Colleen Flanagan, Maple Ridge News and Black Press reporter Jeff Nagel.

The same issues that led Sharon Newbery to run for Langley City Council in 2014 are the reasons she is running in the February byelection. “I have the same concerns with safety in Langley City,” Newbery said. “I’m also very concerned with the business situation, particularly the empty storefronts.” Newbery is a member of the Langley City Public Safety committee, which has identified crime and homelessness as important issues. She feels candidates for the City should live in the City. “If you are going to make important decisions regarding our tax dollars then I feel it should also be affecting the decision makers,” Newbery said. “How can you tell the community how their tax dollars are going to

She obtained her accounting diploma at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and bought her first Coffee News franchise in 2005.

Lynn Whitehouse retiring after 30 years with Langley Chamber B.C.’s longest serving Chamber of Commerce executive director says she’s looking forward to seeing what comes next MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti me s Re po r t e r

After serving 30 years with the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, retiring executive director Lynn Whitehouse says she’s looking for a new job. “My comment that I do make is that I still haven’t decided what I want to be when I grow up, but I think I’m growing up so I better hurry up and try something else,” she said with a laugh. Whitehouse will officially retire from her position on June 30, making her the longest serving executive director of a Chamber of Commerce in B.C. When asked about her legacy to Langley Whitehouse was humble, replying “it’s not what I gave, it’s what I’m going to take away.” She said she’s had “tremendous experiences” in her career, and has enjoyed watching the community evolve, travelling throughout B.C. and Canada with the Chamber and working with some “incredible people.” “It’s mostly the people — unfortunately many who are now departed — but most who are still here, which is wonderful,” she said. “I was in awe of these people.” Some of Whitehouse’s proudest achievements include helping stop the Aldergrove border crossing from closing to truck traffic in 2012, working with municipal governments to implement mobile business licences and indulging her inner “geek” by learning about government processes. Board president Scott Johnston said Whitehouse’s leadership

has made the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce “highly respected” in the Chamber network throughout Canada. “Because of her vast experience, our Chamber is often looked upon to provide leadership and assistance to others, and Langley is very active on the advocacy front dealing with issues that affect the growth of business in Langley’s community of communities,” Johnston stated in a press release. “The board of directors has commenced the succession process to new leadership, and will rely on Lynn’s incisive guidance to ensure a smooth transition over the coming months. “Lynn is a dynamo. We have big shoes to fill.”

OPINION

Brenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@langleytimes.com

Family friction We are about to celebrate our fourth Family Day in B.C. and some of us are not happy about the timing. Andrew Johns, for one. He will be working on the second Monday of the month because he works in the financial markets and the rest of the country won’t be taking that day off. Six other Canadian provinces have a holiday in February, but they all happen on the third Monday. So do our American cousins, who will be celebrating Presidents Day on Feb. 15. Johns, who says he would like a day off with his wife and children, is petitioning the provincial government to move Family Day to the third Monday of the month. So far, he’s gathered 17,000 signatures online. The Surrey Board of Trade has also called on the provincial government to move B.C.’s day off into line with every one else. Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman says because the B.C. holiday happens when the rest of Canada and the U.S. is working, many people here can’t take the day off because their colleagues elsewhere are working. So why is B.C. so out of synch? A little recent history is in order. Back in 2011, when the provincial government decided B.C. residents deserved a break between New Year’s Day and Easter, it did an online poll that found a majority of those who participated, preferred the second Monday, precisely because it was on a day when the rest of North America would be working. The reasoning was B.C. residents would have less trouble getting into vacation destinations with the rest of Canada and the U.S. working. As the Wikipedia entry notes, as a new holiday, “there are no traditional activities that are associated with (Family day).” Except, perhaps, for complaining about the timing of it. What do you think? Should B.C. move the holiday to match the rest of Canada and the U.S.? Or is the advantage of time off when everyone else is working worth keeping?

low forever or multi colored eggs that come straight from the chickens at Easter? I was raised on vegetables grown in rich brown dirt mixed with chicken or steer manure and I have no idea if that is considered organic or not. I just remember there being plenty for our family and anyone else who came around in the fall. If you stopped at our house to ask directions, you left with a bag full of zucchinis, tomatoes and Swiss chard. If you calculate what you spend on your lawn each year you may be surprised how much it costs to make your yard look nice for the neighbours. Consider digging it all up and planting vegetables this year and encourage your neighbours to do the same. I recall many a fine cup of coffee shared over the fence comparing the height of my corn with my neighbour’s crop. We old timers have seen the dollar go up and down, the prices of food and gas go up and down, over and over again. You can complain in vain or go with the flow. The good times will come back, they always do. At least that’s what McGregor says.

Grateful for community support

Newlyweds Angelica and Luke Rawick had their honeymoon cut short after Luke was diagnosed with Stage 3 testicular cancer. Luke’s aunt, who lives in Nebraska, is grateful for the support her nephew has received from the community and his workplace.

Editor: I just wanted to thank writer Miranda Gathercole for the article about my nephew (Couple overwhelmed by community’s support The Times, Jan. 22.) I am in Lincoln, Neb. and it is so nice to see that he has great friends and community supporting him during this time. I appreciate the article and may God watch out after you and your family. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. LOIS HARTZELL,

LMH nurses are ‘angels from God’ Editor: I was taken by ambulance on Jan. 3 to Langley Memorial Hospital after spending five days in bed with pain I did not recognize. But finally, I told my husband that I have to go. Thank God I did. After arriving at the hospital and having several procedures done to me, maybe three or four hours went by and a doctor came to me and said, “(You) had better call (your) family and let them know that I have to operate on you.” I was floored. So that night I had my appendix out; it burst when he did it. If I had been home I would have been a goner. I was on the second floor and I was moved four times. My point is that Langley nurses were angels from God. They are the most caring nurses I have ever encountered. They smile and are patient and loving. When I cried, they hugged me. I also have to thank my doctor for saving my life. I wouldn’t be home now except for him. Thank you Langley hospital I now feel fantastic. SHIRLEY BENNISON, LANGLEY

Have the right to vote? Use it Editor: As a Langley City taxpayer since the early 1980s and someone who is planning to vote in the byelection, 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 inquire about the candidates’ position on certain challenges before the City. One of the concerns I harbour is the ever returning amalgamation debate with regard 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 that would support amalgamation. If memory serves, Mel Kositsky supported the amalgamation attempt some time ago, I would also question Serena Oh on her position. Both were or are involved with Township politics. Carol Gran from days gone by has stepped up to the election bid, hopefully she will bring ideas and an outlook that’s not from days gone by. 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. In closing I hope everyone with the right to vote comes out and participates in this vote Feb. 27 Remember this is the first level of government with their hands our pockets. MF CAMPBELL, LANGLEY CITY Editor’s note: an all-candidates forum has now been scheduled. It will take place at 1 p.m. on Feb. 22 at the Langley Seniors Resources Centre.

Response to poll on homelessness was disheartening Editor: I cannot believe that 73 per cent of people (who responded to the Langley Times’ online poll) said ‘No’ to setting aside land as a designated camp for the homeless. What is wrong with people? It just saddens me to think people care so little for others. I believe we should go one step further and set aside land, then

build hostels that are warm, safe and comfortable. If they can affor to spend $12 million to build bicycle lanes in Vancouver, that just doesn’t equate. It’s time we started to set up priorities about what is important and what isn’t. JOY RAYMOND, LANGLEY

Continued service makes Pachal the candidate for writer Editor: We have nine candidates running for one seat on council. Looking at some of the people running, it appears to me they are just looking for a part time job that pays $36,000 a year. One exception is Nathan Pachal, who ran in the last City election and lost by a mere 71

votes. Even after losing the election, he has continued to help his community, serving on the Parks and Environment Committee. Hearing concerns from the community regarding garbage in the flood plain and Portage Park, he brought the issue to the

attention of City Council, which resulted in a cleanup of the area. When Nathan heard the City received funding to rebuild 203 Street, he reached out to me and other residents in the neighbourhood. He worked on a plan that would create a safer 203 Street, improv-

ing the quality of life for people who live there. At 32, Nathan is an ambitious, intelligent (senior IT engineer) and young individual who would be a tremendous asset to City Council. To have someone who continues to advocate for a better com-

munity — even when an election is not pending — speaks volumes. To me, Nathan Pachal is the candidate to vote for in the City byelection on Feb. 27. RAY SHAW, LANGLEY CITY

Verhoeff set for his new Post Trading Post Brewing Company opens its doors next week GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

It was while he was living in Kitsilano that Lance Verhoeff found the next step in his career. Living in the trendy Vancouver neighbourhood while his wife Marissa was earning her teaching certificate at UBC, Verhoeff discovered his next venture. “The inspiration came from all the breweries my wife and I experienced when we were living in Vancouver two years ago,” he explained. “You almost see every little town and every big metro city popping up with a bunch of breweries and when we moved back, we realized that Langley was a little bit of a black hole in the craft brewery scene.” “That is where the vision and passion started from.” This was about 18 months ago. Verhoeff scoured the area for locations to fill the void, and the Trading Post Brewing Company is set to open its doors at 107 20120 64 Ave. on Feb. 13. The name is a nod to Langley’s rich history as a trading post. The craft beer scene has a couple of key components, Verhoeff explained. The first is having a tasting room or lounge area on site, where people can come in and enjoy a pint right at the brewery where the beer is produced. The

second is the fact customers can come in and purchase a growler — a refillable one or two-litre bottle — to take home with them. The brewery has six beers on tap that Verhoeff describes as unique and adventurous. For example, there is a breakfast stout, which is brewed using dark roasted malt and cold extracted coffee from Fort Langley’s Republica Roasters. The jet black oatmeal stout features notes of chocolate and espresso and is described as big, bold and surprisingly smooth. But another aspect of the craft brewery scene is that it brings people together to engage, collaborate and mingle over a pint of local beer. “Our goal is to inspire people to build relationships and create community by offering an inviting tasting room in the same space we brew our beer,” he said. “You won’t find any TVs or loud music in the tasting room. “(And) being in such a busy area, we felt that for commuters coming and going home, it is a great place to stop in and pick up a growler or fill a growler.” Originally, Verhoeff had hoped to find a location in Fort Langley, close to where he lives. Unable to find a suitable location in the village, they changed the plan to Willoughby. They are also working on an eatery and taphouse in Fort Langley — on Glover Road and 96 Avenue — which is expected to open this spring once renovations are complete. Verhoeff moved to Langley from

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Langley’s Lance Verhoeff is the owner of Trading Post Brewery, a new craft brewery in Willoughby. It is set to open next Friday (Feb. 13). He will also open an eatery and taphouse in Fort Langley this spring. Calgary to attend Trinity Western University and play on the Spartans basketball team. He studied business, earning his bachelor of arts in corporate financing in 2011. He spent the next few years working in sales, first in the technology industry and then in the power tool indus-

try, before venturing off to start his business. Verhoeff will handle the business side of things while he has assembled a strong team for the day-to-day operations. John Ohler is handling sales and business development, as well as serving as the director of brew-

ery and culinary operations, and Tony Dewald is the brewmaster. “It was a difficult process to find this team, but now that we do, it is just making a world of difference,” Verhoeff said. “They have a ton of experience and are creating something awesome here.”

New funding, deadline for Co-op ‘Community Spaces’ $1.5 million available to local organizations Co-op Community Spaces was launched in 2015 to help protect, beautify and improve spaces in communities across Western Canada. In its inaugural year,

the program funded 16 projects in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. “From creek rehabilitation to gardens to play spaces for toddlers, the projects selected for funding last year showcased the innovation and dedication of local community groups,” said Jack Nicholson, the general manager

of Otter Co-op. “Because I know our communities in the Lower Mainland area have their own unique ideas for spaces that could be built or improved, I would encourage our local community groups to consider applying.” To qualify, organizations must be a registered non-profit, registered char-

ity or community service co-operative. Administered by Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) on behalf of the Co-operative Retailing System (CRS), Co-op Community Spaces will provide donations between $25,000 and $100,000 to recipients. Because of the increased funding, the program will support up to 60 community projects in 2016.

Funding is available to projects in three categories: • Recreation: Enhancing recreation opportunities such as recreation centres and playgrounds; • Environmental conservation: Preserving natural spaces such as green spaces, parks and interpretive centres; and • Urban agriculture: Supporting small-scale agricul-

tural initiatives in rural and urban spaces such as community gardens and food education facilities. Applications for the 2016 Co-op Community Spaces program will be accepted until Feb. 12. For more details about this year’s program — and to see last year’s recipients at work — see www.communityspaces.ca.

Q: How much toothpaste should I be using for my child? A: Because we live in an area where the city tap water is not fluoridated, all children should be using a fluoridated toothpaste while brushing their teeth. Children Dr. Cheung, DMD Dentist from the ages of 0 to 3 should have their teeth and gums brushed by an adult, twice a day, with a “rice grain”-sized amount of toothpaste. Children aged 3 to 6 should have their toothbrushing assisted by an adult, and use a “green pea”-sized amount of toothpaste. Adult assistance is required for a child until he/she has developed adequate manual dexterity to brush their teeth for a full two minutes, twice a day. Also, supervision is important to ensure that the child is spitting out the toothpaste, as opposed to swallowing it, to minimize the risk of dental fluorosis (white speckling of the teeth). #104-6424 200th St., Langley 604-533-3000 wcdentalctr@shaw.ca NEW PATIENTS WELCOME!

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.

SENIORS AT HOME Home, not hospital or residential care, is the best place to continue to recover from an illness/ injury, to manage long-term conditions, while receiving health care supports.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Getting at-home services seniors need:

Helping older adults stay in their home By Nicolle Hodges Home may be where the heart is – and because of developments in technology for senior care – it’s where health can be too. From a social point of view, technology helps seniors stay connected to loved ones through e-mail and social media. It’s also helping seniors to stay in their home’s well into their eighties, while improving their safety. With the use of remote monitoring devices, like online updates on blood pressure, technology is making homes more safe and secure. Motion detectors can be used to track a person’s movement inside the home, and can be placed on the floor to detect if a person has fallen. This detection device will then notify a caregiver. In-home technologies can range from monitoring devices like lighting, motion sensors, video cameras, emergency assistance programs and alerts. “Seniors are no different than anyone else,” says Jacqueline Blackwell, Fraser Health Public Affairs, “they want to stay in their own surroundings and retain their freedom.” Fraser Health is developing more services in the community to help older adults stay healthy, stay out of hospital and stay in their homes rather than be admitted to residential care. There are plenty of

support services available, including referral to the Red Cross Health Equipment Loan Program to borrow a bath seat, walker, wheelchair, lift, hospital bed, or other necessary equipment for a short time if you can’t afford to rent from a private vendor, and a subscription to Lifeline. “We believe seniors have the right to live independently, but we want to make sure they always have access to emergency assistance, so Lifeline is a personal alarm that they can pay for a basic service, which gives them access to help at the push of a button,” says Blackwell. The Canadian Red Cross provides a short-term loan program for basic mobility aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, bath seats and benches, commodes and toilet seats, crutches and canes, bed handles and other durable medical equipment. They also offer a short-term loan program for advanced equipment such as beds, lifts, and mattresses, four-wheeled walkers and wheelchair cushions as well as additional sizes and variations of standard equipment. This program is to support clients with complex care needs to allow them to be discharged from hospital sooner or remain at home longer. The equipment loan program supports Fraser Health’s ‘Home is Best’ philosophy – home, not

hospital or residential care, is the best place to continue to recover from an illness/injury, to manage long-term conditions, while receiving health care supports. Any physiotherapist, occupational therapist, registered nurse, or physician can make basic equipment referrals. Advanced equipment requires the referral of a physiotherapist or occupational therapist from the Home Health program. Fraser Health offers plenty of other programs available for seniors hoping to live at home longer, such as Meals on Wheels – a frozen meal delivery program. Better at Home (Betterathome.ca) is a non-profit organization that provides non-medical services that vary by community but may include friendly visiting, transportation to appointments, light yard work, minor home repairs, snow shoveling, light housekeeping, and grocery shopping. BC 2-1-1 connects you to an information and referral specialist with numbers for all community, government and social services, and 8-1-1 Healthlink is a free health advice from a nurse; nutrition information from a dietitian, advice about drugs and pills from a pharmacist, available 24/7. What can family members personally do to ensure their elderly loved ones are getting the kind of

at-home services they need? It all comes down to awareness. “Family members can assist by being aware and keeping track of how their parents are doing,” she says. “This mean checking in and making sure they maintain contact if their parents have a case manager.” If someone reaches a point where their complex health needs require

access to services that are more around the clock, they can be assessed for residential care, which is something their case manager can do, adds Blackwell. We're just beginning to understand how technology can support the desire to live at home longer, and luckily, the young and the elderly are benefiting along the way.

TWU star getting cut How much is a pony tail worth? That is what Trinity Western Spartans women’s volleyball player Sophie Carpentier wants to know. The fourth-year outside hitter will be cutting off her pony tail between the second and third sets of the Spartans men’s volleyball game on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre. Carpentier and her teammates — the topranked team in the country — play at 5 p.m. with the men’s game set to follow at 7 p.m. Carpentier is doing this in support of a close friend who is battling cancer. The money raised will go to the Canadian Cancer Society while the hair will go to Locks of Love. “For those of you who don’t know me at all, you’ve probably noticed I have very long hair for a large portion of my life,” she wrote on her GoFundMe page. “My hair is part of my identity and I didn’t think I would be cutting it any time soon. I never thought I would have the courage to do this, but when I was recently shown a picture of a very close friend going through treatment, I looked at my hair and it lost all the value I had poured into it. “I looked at that picture of my beautiful friend, with no hair. She was gorgeous just as she was.” As of Thursday morning, she has raised $1,250.

Langley Rugby Club’s Stu Morrison (with ball) is grabbed by a member of the Richmond Rugby Club during First Division action at LRC’s home field on Crush Crescent on Saturday afternoon. Kolby Brezden (left to right), Mike Thomsen and John Bright came up to provide support to their teammate during Langley’s 12-7 victory. The Langley Second Division side was also victorious, defeating Richmond 20-0. And the LRC women’s Second Division squad was on the road, winning 35-5 over Scribes RFC at Vancouver’s Rupert Park.

Mannes leads Spartans to first victory The Trinity Western Spartans are winless no more. Led by Canada West second star of the week, Lucas Mannes, the Spartans defeated the Brandon Bobcats 87-78 on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre. The Bobcats had beat TWU 98-87 the night before and both teams are now 1-13. The Spartans point guard had 36 points, six rebounds, five assists and five steals. The teams were tied after three quarters, but TWU outscored Brandon 25-16 over the final 12 minutes. Kelvin Smith (18 points, nine rebounds, two steals) and Vartan Tanielian (12 points) also added to the cause.

“Lucas, scored a lot, but he also played a really smart game at the end, managing the clock and the score,” commented TWU head coach Aaron Muhic on his point guards performance. In Friday’s loss, Smith led the Spartans with 31 points while Mannes had 20 and Patrick Vandervelden had 11 points, 11 rebounds and five blocked shots. The Spartans women’s basketball also split their home weekend set with Brandon, winning the opener 87-81 before losing the rematch 7469. “Getting the win on Friday and having some outstanding individual efforts sometimes hurts us more the next night, because we forget

how much more our opponent is going to want it the next night,” said TWU head coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. Jessie Brown led the Spartans in the loss with 18 points while Tessa Ratzlaff had 13 points, nine rebounds and three steals. In the victory, Ratzlaff led the way with 29 points as she was one of five Spartans to hit double figures. Both Spartan teams are in Edmonton this weekend to face Alberta. ••• The Trinity Western Spartans worked some overtime over the weekend, picking up the extra point both nights on the road. The men’s hockey team won 3-2 in overtime over the Selkirk Saints on Jan. 29 and then prevailed 5-4 in a

shootout over the Eastern Washington Eagles the next night. The Spartans improved to 11-5-0-1 and they sit one point back of Selkirk and SFU for top spot in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League. “We’re finding ways to get these games loaded onto the bus and come home with four points,” said Spartans coach Barret Kropf. “We were down and had to fight back in both games but the guys put in really gritty effort. We’re pretty banged up, with lots of nicks and bruises, so I thought the guys did a tremendous job of battling through that to come out with the victory.” The Spartans play SFU in a homeand-home series beginning tonight (Friday) at the Langley Events Centre.

A brave new world of motoring is dawning advanced laser scanners. Using a smart phone or watch a driver can instruct the vehicle to go park itself in a multi-level parking lot. The driverless car then takes off on its own, autonomously self-steering through the building, seeking an empty stall to park, shutdown and lock itself. Robo Bimmer can also be started remotely and summoned to pick up its driver at the same entry/exit location. Every major auto maker is stepping up work on autonomous vehicle technology. Toyota, GM and Mercedes-Benz are all heavily invested in autonomous vehicle development and expected to bring products to market. Ford recently announced that it’s tripling the size of its autonomous vehicle development fleet and accelerating on-road testing, which starts in California later this year. Its demo vehicle is a Fusion Hybrid sedan with puck-power, a new Solid-State Hybrid-Ultra Puck Auto sensor. About the same size and shape as a hockey puck, this puck can map and create real-time 3D models of its surrounding environment. Autonomous vehicle development also transcends traditional auto production sources. Google, the internet search engine and browser behemoth, surprised everybody back in 2010, when its autonomous vehicle development work was revealed. It’s now working with a number of traditional automakers and is expected to have a fully autonomous vehicle ready for market by 2020. Other Silicon Valley giants getting on autonomous vehicle action include Tesla and Uber. Yes, of course, they’re working on a Robo-Taxi. Not sure

Please note, “automated” is arguable a more accurate but less widely used descriptive term than “autonomous” for the new generation of self-driving vehicles. Early self-driving vehicle experiments were done with vehicles that generally relied on a magnetic strip embedded in the road and were typically called automated vehicles.

It is with true sadness that we announce the passing of Drew Thomas Waska, on Wednesday, January 27th with his family by his side. Born June 8th, 1960 in Murraryville, he grew up in Fort Langley and spent his childhood and adult life there. As a young man of 14 he purchased his first fishing vessel follo ing in his fatherâ€™s footsteps as a commercial fisherman. His love of Fort Langley and his area was reflected in his community involvement with the Fort Langley Lions. His enthusiasm for aquaculture carried over in his role as a previous president and current volunteer at the Nicomekl Enhancement Society. When Drew was not volunteering, his time was devoted to his grandchildren â€“ they were his ultimate joy. Drew is survived by his son Kelin Waska (Alyssa), grandson Riley and granddaughter Alexis; sisterâ€™s Marnie Loutet (Stuart) & Sherry Sissons (John). He is predeceased by his father Harry & mother Marjorie. Drewâ€™s service will be held at Hendersonâ€™s Funeral Home, 20786 Fraser Hwy, Langley on February 9th. Viewing at 1:30 p.m. and service at 3:00 p.m.
