Langley man upset

by Mexico removal

Randy Caine suspects it was a side effect of local issues

Historic Half needs volunteer help The Fort Langley Historic Half Marathon, which starts and finishes at the Fort Langley National Historic Site, is celebrating its 11th year Feb. 21 and organizers need lots of volunteers – about 40 of them, to be exact.

To volunteer, email volunteer@tryevents.ca.

For those wanting to take part, the event – which helps Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada – offers routes of 10 and five kilometres, and the half mara-

thon.

Each group of runners have staggered, three-to-five minute starts for the race, that gets underway at the fort starting at 8 a.m. Sunday.

Participants are urged to arrive early to warm up.

Randy Caine, 62, wants to know how Mexican authorities decided he was a danger.

MATTHEW CLAXTON

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A Langley medicinal marijuana advocate is worried he may not be able to travel abroad safely after he was abruptly ejected from Mexico.

Randy Caine worries that local controversy and opposition to his medical marijuana activism in Langley led to his being labelled a drug dealer

by Mexican federal police.

Caine and his wife, Maureen, were on a trip to Puerto Vallarta in March of last year.

When they landed, Caine was taken aside

by Mexican federal police to an interrogation room, and asked about criminal activities, and if he had ever been arrested.

“They said I had been identified as a drug trafficker and a security threat,” Caine said.

Caine was put on the same plane to return to Canada.

Maureen had to arrange another flight to follow him.

Sunwing indicated that the information likely reached Mexico through the Canada Border Services Agency.

Caine fears that his disputes with local officials landed him a Mexican watchlist.

“If you start gossiping, your words can leave your community,” Caine said.

Over the past dec-

MARATHON

Matthew Claxton Langley Advance

ade, Caine has founded three outlets of Hempyz, which sells hemp-based products and marijuana-related gifts and novelty items. Caine sparred with Langley City over a bylaw that banned the sale of hempbased products, even though other stores in the downtown sold products containing hemp.

In 2008, he founded the Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary.

The dispensary was raided in July 2011 by the RCMP, but Caine wasn’t charged until October. He eventually received an absolute discharge after he pleaded guilty two regulatory violations of the Medical Marijuana Act. Caine has made Freedom of Information requests for documents related to himself from various government agencies, including Canada Border Services and the City.

During his attempts to set up a marijuana dispensary, his run for City council in 2011, and after the police raid, civil servants and

politicians emailed one another about Caine.

“He is a dealer and that is it,” former City mayor Peter Fassbender wrote in one email to Coun.

Rudy Storteboom in 2011.

Caine would like some answers about how Mexican authorities were told he was a drug dealer, when he has never been convicted.

“They’re just determined that I’m a criminal,” he said.

Years after founding a medical marijuana dispensary, Caine is looking at possibly getting a prescription himself.

He was diagnosed with lung cancer last year, undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.

“I’m at a point in my life where I would like to travel,” Caine said.

But with the threat of being labelled a drug dealer, he plans to stay in Canada for now. Caine is still trying to get more clarity from the government over what happened and his status as an international traveller.

CRIME

Carjack MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

An Abbotsford man has been charged with allegedly forcing a Langley woman out of her car at gunpoint Feb. 9.

At 9:40 p.m., the victim was sitting in the passenger seat of in the 6300 block of 204th Street, waiting for her husband.

The driver’s side door opened, and a stranger told her to get out of the vehicle, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The woman found a gun pointed at her.

She pushed the gun away and got out of the car, Largy said.

The driver took off but Langley RCMP soon found the suspect.

Officers were alerted to a crash in the 6200 block of 238A Street.

A vehicle had hit a Hydro pole. Lower Mainland Police Dog Services arrived within two minutes and began tracking. They arrested a man hiding in a nearby garden shed. > More langleyadvance.com

Some fraud is organized and orchestrated by a group of individuals, namely, staged accidents and stolen vehicle rings.

Fraudulent claims take a toll on B.C. drivers

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.

Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes.

To learn more about auto insurance fraud, go to icbc.com/fraud

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.

Many will feel the chill Coldest Night of the Year is Saturday.

HEATHER COLPITTS hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

People can learn a little about the what it’s like to be on the streets at night at the third annual Coldest Night of the Year walk Feb. 20.

The Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope will host the community walk starting at 8 p.m.

“It’s an awareness campaign as well as a fundraiser so we hope that people leave with a better sense of knowledge of what Gateway does,” Brenda Vanderhorst, the volunteer and project coordinator.

As of Feb. 15, 99 walkers were registered. By the evening of the walk there are expected to be more than 300 as participation grows

each year.

Vanderhorst added that anyone interested in volunteering is welcome. Contact her at 604-514-7375.

Walkers can raise pledges or pay the $25 registration fee themselves. Adults who raise more than $150 and young people who raise more than $75 have their registrations waived. The goal is to raise $30,000 for Gateway’s emergency shelter and meal centre.

“You can sign up as a team and recruit your own team or you can sign up as a walker,” she said.

Participants can choose routes of two kilometres, 5 km or 10 km.

People can learn more or can sign up at www.coldestnightoftheyear. org/langley but those who show up Feb. 20 are still welcome.

Party at Timms SPCA seizes 84 cats and dogs Construction crews are busy putting on the final touches of the new Timms Community Centre.

Another search found sick cats and kittens.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The BC SPCA has made its second major seizure of animals in the Lower Mainland in as many weeks, taking 69 cats and 15 dogs from a property on the Langley-Surrey border.

The property was advertised as a boarding and breeding facility, said chief SPCA enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty.

She said that as of Tuesday, one cat and one kitten had been euthanized because they were in a dire state.

Unlike in previous cases, this was

BC SPCA

A cat and her kittens were among the animals seized over health concerns. not a puppy mill or an individual hoarding animals, Moriarty said. The owner appears to have been boarding some of the animals.

“Some of them do belong to other people,” Moriarty said of the dogs,

cats, and kittens seized Tuesday.

She has started getting emails from people who thought they had left their animals at a licensed facility, Moriarty said. Animals will be returned to their rightful owners, she said.

Moriarty couldn’t discuss much about the SPCA’s contact with the owner of the facility, in the 19400 block of Colebrook Road.

The animals were not malnourished, but were seized because of environmental and medical concerns, Moriarty said. Animals were suffering from upper respiratory disease, ringworm, and possibly from Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).

A veterinarian is still examining the many animals seized, she said. > More at langleyadvance.com

No help in budget for local transit

A

Future transport referenda ugly

L

ast year’s transit referendum was ugly. TransLink lost, but nobody really won, because we were left without an immediate path forward on getting more buses, light rail, SkyTrain, SeaBuses, or anything at all.

But sometimes you have to take the long view.

Thanks to recent experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, we can peer into the future of transit in Metro Vancouver!

Gaze with me, into the years yet to come as we uncover how our descendants will deal with transit!

2017: Surrey Light Rail ceremonial groundbreaking. Politicians in purely decorative hardhats will plunge gleaming golden shovels into the dirt to kick off construction of the multi-year project.

2018: Surrey Light Rail ceremonial budget increase. Politicians will scatter and be very, very busy as the first cost overruns arrive.

2020: Second TransLink Plebiscite.

The plebiscite is aimed at increasing property taxes only on those homeowners whose properties are worth more than $2 million. Fails because by 2020 in Metro Vancouver a tenth of an acre occupied by two mortally ill goats is going for roughly $3 million.

2022: Light rail service reaches Langley. Chilliwack (population 700,000) demands light rail immediately to serve its burgeoning population.

Painful Truth

recent survey of Surrey residents showed very high support for some kind of lightrail transit coming to that city.

Nor would many Langley residents, especially in Langley City, Brookswood, or Willoughby, object to extending light rail as far as our community.

But unfortunately, our provincial government doesn’t seem to have any intention of putting forward the money immediately for such a major project.

The City of Surrey is willing. During the last election, both federal Liberals and Conservatives touted their infrastructure bona fides and promised cash for local projects.

But transit projects in B.C. are a threelegged stool. If the province doesn’t come to the table, there’s no way to get a major, expensive, and lengthy project like a light rail line off the ground.

We need better transit in the Lower Mainland, and particularly South of the Fraser. Surrey’s population is rising rapidly. Where once we had a single large city – Vancouver – surrounded by suburbs, increasingly we have multiple centers of density, including in Coquitlam, Richmond, Surrey, and even in formerly-rural Langley.

Surrey is the second-largest community by population in B.C., and it’s growing fast.

The Langleys are, essentially, successors to Burnaby and New Westminster. And no one would suggest that cities like Burnaby and New West don’t need all the transit they can get.

Right now, the economy is uncertain.

Liquid Natural Gas hasn’t taken off yet.

Alberta is in trouble. Our dollar is in the doldrums.

But our growth hasn’t slowed down one iota.

TransLink has failed to solve the problems of transit planning in the region. The provincial government, as the creator of TransLink, needs to step up and either toss TransLink the money, or start doing the planning and funding itself.

Light rail fast as SkyTrain Dear Editor; There is myth being repeated in the media that light rail is slow, slower than SkyTrain, in fact as slow as road traffic, which needs to be corrected.

Studies have shown that streetcars operating in mixed traffic are about 10 per cent faster than buses, but streetcars or trams are not quite light rail.

Modern light rail is a streetcar or tram that operates on dedicated or reserved rights-ofways, with priority signalling at intersections.

The reserved rightof-way enables modern LRT to obtain commercial speeds of that of a metro, with commercial speed largely determined by the number of stations per route kilometres.

Abortion contradicts health care definition Dear Editor, According to various dictionaries, health care is defined as the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease and injury, whether physical or mental, that affects humans.

In other words, health care is all about improving or maintaining the health of an individual.

Medically and ethically, abortion goes against the very definition of healthcare and violates a doctor’s sacred oath.

Yet so many liberals today say that abortion is a health care right.

But abortion isn’t health care, it’s the exact opposite of health care.

It’s not the preservation of life but the taking of life.

Dean Clark, Langley

‘Downtown’ column stirs up memories Dear Editor, I enjoyed reading Bob Groeneveld’s column [When downtown was a million miles, Feb. 11 Opinion, Langley Advance].

I am also formerly from Port Alberni.

Bob’s column brought back fond memories of “downtown Port” and the lunch counters of Woolworth’s.

Thanks Bob! Kim Gosal, Langley

The optimum station spacing for LRT in a urban setting is about every 500 metres to 600 metres, but with light-metro stations (SkyTrain) being so expensive, station spacing for metro tend to be further apart, one to 1.5 kilometres apart.

This does give faster commercial speeds but it deters ridership because door to door travel times are more because the transit customer must travel much further to get to transit than he/she would with light rail.

Modern LRT can obtain actual speeds equal to or faster than our present SkyTrain, if need be; in many cities today modern LRT can also act as a passenger train operating on the mainline railways at mainline speeds.

It is the inherent flexibility of modern LRT,

SA_Sheild_B&W.eps SA_Sheild_B&W.jpg

which can operate as a streetcar (in mixed traffic); as light rail on its own dedicated route; and a passenger train, often on the same route, that made light metro such as ALRT/ART SkyTrain (only seven built in 40 years!) and the French VAL obsolete.

Those who continually dismiss modern LRT with one excuse or another are not telling the truth and they never explain why only seven ALRT/ART Skytrain systems have been built in 40 years and why none have ever been allowed to compete directly against modern light rail.

Could it be that transit authorities around the world do not want to invest in expensive “Edsel” style transit, such as SkyTrain?

Malcolm Johnston, Delta

Tragedy preventable Dear Editor, It is inconceivable that such an operation recently closed by the SPCA has dated back many years according to some [Puppy seizure largest in B.C. history, Feb. 11, Langley Advance].

Perhaps such oversights wouldn’t have happened if the Campbell government hadn’t been allowed to deregulate many industries as they

did. Maybe breeding operations were never regulated, but absolutely should be.

Regulations and licensing, minus bureaucratic zealousness, can go a long way toward preventing such tragedies in breeding and many other industries.

Hairstyling and aesthetics come to mind, as well.

A

riel Moore is like most kids, she wants to get out from under the yoke of her parents. Hers may be more strict than most, since daddy is a preacher and their own has outlawed dancing and music.

A couple of generations have now seen the tale of this American small town.

D.W. Poppy Secondary presents the musical version of Footloose Feb. 24 to 27.

Virginia Nikkel thought she’d try out for a small part in Footloose.

She wasn’t familiar with the movies – the original from 1984 nor the 2011 remake but had been in previous Poppy shows,

Heather Colpitts Langley Advance

such as Legally Blond.

She figured a small role would be fun.

“It’s a really fun production,” she said.

But at the last minute, she auditioned for the lead of Ariel, the teen who defies her parents about boys and dancing and music and back talk and

basically growing up.

Nikkel, a Grade 11 student, has always been a member of choir so she’s accustomed to singing in front of others.

“I’d never sung before people as a solo,” she said.

And she once took a ballet class, a single class that is, so she was no Ginger

Rogers.

But Nikkel went for it and won the lead. So she decided she had better watch the two movies to bone up on her role, and like the rest of the large cast, has been putting in long hours to ready for the musical.

Joining her in the cast are

Grade 12 student Nic Dyke who portrays the antagonist Rev. Shaw Moore whose attempts to ban dancing in a small town only serve to incite young people to dance. Ariel’s mother, Vi Moore, is portrayed by Penny Shogan, Grade 12.

Shows are at 7 p.m. Feb. 24 to 27 with a 2 p.m. matinee on Feb. 27 as well.

Tickets are $12 for students and seniors and $15 for adults. Shows are at the school, 23752 52nd Ave., and tickets are at the door.

Despite the original movie being made many years before she was born, Nikkel said it stands the test of time. It is, after all, about the eternal struggle between teens wanting to grow up and parents not wanting them to.

Nikkel, who also enjoys sports and visual arts, plans to keep her hand in the arts as she heads beyond high school but is looking at taking nursing at Trinity Western University or heading to Bible school.

Cute wedding video airs on US blooper show Their five-year-old stole the show during a July 2015 wedding.

ne of the most romantic days in the lives of Amie and Scott Emondson was broadcast Valentine’s Day and made people around the world laugh.

“The video, taken by my mom,

The entire place erupts with laughter.

“It was the highlight of our special day,” Amie said. “I’m not shocked he stole the show. He is the little comedian in our household, also the youngest.”

Cohan has reacted to their kiss-

ing in the past. The reactions have been “Oh my gosh, they’re smooching again” or “Why do you guys kiss all the time?”

It’s always followed by giggles.

The big loud “eeewww gross” was a new one from him.

“I originally put it on my Facebook, it had got quite a reaction from friends and family. After a few suggestions, we decided to upload it to AFV,” she said.

On Sept. 30, Amie received a phone call from the studio in L.A. saying the video was tentatively scheduled for AFV. They then went through the process of signing the contracts to release the video to the show.

“AFV is airing our video on Valentine’s Day – how fitting for a wedding blooper,” Amie said.

The annual Cupcake Day fundraiser will help the local shelter.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Bake a cupcake, help a shelter cat. Eat a cupcake, give a hand to a shelter dog.

That’s the simple idea behind National Cupcake Day, which this Feb. 29 will see local individuals and businesses serve up treats to humans.

Locally, treats can benefit the Patti Dale Animal Shelter, , 2016 operated by the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS).

In Langley there has been a big surge of interest this year, and that’s likely a good thing for the shelter, said Jayne Nelson.

“I think we’re already over $2,000 raised,” said Nelson, the shelter’s animal welfare manager.

Last year there were just under 20 teams or organizations baking cupcakes. This year there are more than 40 signed up.

That gives Nelson hope that the money raised may be more than last year’s, which was close to $10,000.

LAPS has some international fans as well, including an Australian team that sent in $160.

The money raised will likely go towards the ISOasis facility LAPS plans to start building this spring. ISOasis is an extra

building for stray cats, which need more room at LAPS. It will allow staff to isolate more cats from the general animal population and give them more care when they are first brought in.

LAPS will host its own cupcake party at the shelter Feb. 29 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Eaton and Rio

Eaton and Rio are 2 of over 200 cats living in a cat colony in Langley. Since they have been here, these two have shown us that they are super bonded and need to go to a home together. Rio is all black and is more outgoing than Eaton. They require a quiet home without small kids.

Respectful dogs could be an option as well.

Merlin

Paprika

Paprika is a good-natured, cheerful and friendly dog! This young girl is looking for a home that enjoys a very intelligent determine beagle that follows her nose. She is not particularly interested in spending time with children. Paprika struggles with being left alone and needs someone who has lots of time for her.

Merlin is a super handsome German Shepherd. He came to us as a stray with just about no manners. This guy is keen on learning and will do just about anything for a cookie! Merlin is working hard to become a good canine citizen but he will need his new family to be keen as well. He could live with the right dog, but no cats or small kids for this one.

Sambuca

Sambuca is an adorable, tuxie with a whole lot of love to give! At 2 years young, Sam came to us as a stray with a few scrapes and scratches. He has gotten a dental cleaning, neuter and tattoo and is ready to go home. He could live in a home with a dog or possibly kids. He is very affectionate but does tend to swat when he has had enough pets.

This teddy bear is a drooler, so his new family will need to love him, drool and all!

I was informed by my neighbour that egg shells are good for the garden. So I have been keeping them. Is the membrane inside of the shell okay?

Ellen Trelenberg, Port Coquitlam

Eggshells provide calcium and it’s fine to leave the membrane inside the shell. Once the eggshells are dry, you have two options to prepare them.

The quickest way is to put them in an old blender and grind them into a powder. This gets the calcium into the soil right away in a form the plants can use soon.

The second is to store the eggshells and crunch them up with a potato masher. It takes a while for eggshells flakes to break down in the garden, but they give soil a loose texture.

njoying a “proper” cup of coffee, ensuring there is plenty of laughter in one’s life, and surrounding one’s self with the love of family – these are the key secrets to Frank William Hunt’s longevity – or so he’ll tell folks.

The 100-year-old Murrayville resident shared some of these tips and his own rendition of a song called What I Want is a Proper Cup of Coffee, during a birthday bash held in his honour earlier this month.

Frank Hunt turned 100 on Feb. 3, while in hospital after a small stroke. As a centenarian, he received a birthday card from Queen Elizabeth.

He was surrounded by his extended family, including his three children – Valerie, Sylvia, and Richard – along with their spouses and eight grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. He was predeceased a few years ago by his wife of 75 years, Florence.

The evening’s entertainment featured a 45-minute movie called 100 Years of Being Frank.

He had been living at home until just two weeks earlier, when he suffered a minor stroke and was rushed to hospital.

Fortunately, he was doing well enough the following weekend that doctors sprung him for a few hours, allowing him to return home for the day to enjoy a “real” centenarian-style party.

some of the English monologues and stories that Dad is still famous for saying, and even at this great age, he is still word perfect,” Butler said.

It also featured her father singing the coffee song that he’s apparently already become synonymous for at the hospital.

“When the doctors come in on their rounds, Dad sings this for them. I cannot think of a better check for a TIA or stroke can you?” Butler said.

“He is even heard cheering up his fellow patients with his rendition of What I Want is a Proper Cup of Coffee, a real tongue twister for anyone, never mind a centenarian.”

Where it began

H

unt was born in 1916 and emigrated from Birmingham, England in 1970, along with his wife Florence, to join their daughters and families in Delta.

He was a foreman at the General Electric Company during the Second World War, supplying electrical and engineering products to the military.

Hunt met his future bride in 1934.

She apparently heard from her twin that a handsome young man was working at his uncle’s green grocers shop on Saturdays.

“She ran past her twin, and into the shop and asked him for some tomatoes.

And he, not looking at the scale but at her, asked her out to a movie,” Butler said, recounting the story as she’d heard retold many a time during her childhood.

Apparently Hunt was so smitten that he gave Florence two pounds of tomatoes for the low price of sixpence.

Turns out, it paid off.

Their first date – just a few days later – was the viewing of the release of King Kong.

The couple married exactly four years later – to the day.

Hunt acknowledges that his British sense of humour, quick retorts, and funny quips make everyone else laugh, but assuredly have also been essential to his long life. After all, he said, laughter does a body good! > More: langleyadvance.com, search ‘Frank’

OFOF THE BEST BEST THE BEST Cancer drivers on the roadBEST READER’S CHOICE 2014 READER’S CHOICE 2014 MATTHEW CLAXTON

Need a lift? George Garrett and other local volunteers are organizing a non-profit that will give free rides to cancer patients.

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A local group of volunteers are reviving a popular program that drove cancer patients to and from their treatments.

“There are many people, in my experience, who need it,” said George Garrett, one of the organizers and a former volunteer driver with the Canadian Cancer Society.

He recalled meeting one cancer patient who tried to get to an appointment using bus and SkyTrain.

“It took her all day, and involved quite a bit of walking, and she wasn’t capable of walking too far,” he said.

That kind of dilemma is what prompted Garrett to join the new Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society. Like other former drivers, Garrett was concerned when he heard the previous program was shutting down.

Garth Pinton is president of the new Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society, and John McInnes is helping to organize.

“Our concern was… although there are some private services, they have to charge for the service,” said Garrett.

For years, the Canadian Cancer Society coordinated a group of volunteer drivers. In B.C. in 2014, the drivers took 1,100 patients with almost 400 drivers giving rides. They were paid 41 cents per kilometre for

gas costs.

The Cancer Society cut the program in 2015 to save $400,000 a year.

The society also cited a declining number of users and the rise of other services, such as the United Way’s Better At Home program.

Garrett drove for two years for the Cancer Society before he had to give it up to spend more time caring for his wife.

He was inspired to take on the task after his daughter’s cancer treatments and subsequent recovery.

She suffered from a melanoma that invaded her lymph nodes, and was treated in 2001.

“The cancer has been in remission,” Garrett said. “She has since run several marathons.”

The system was simple – a cancer patient phoned in about an upcoming appointment, and the society dispatched a driver.

“The driver stays with them, even if it’s a longer appointment,” Garrett said.

The retired intrepid radio reporter said he met a lot of nice people driving.

He even got a home-made card from a nine-year-old passenger addressed “To George, my favourite cancer driver.”

The new society plans to pick up where the Cancer Society left off, offering free rides, primarily in the Delta, us at Magnolia Gardens appreciate the support Surrey, and Langley areas, but All of All of us at Magnolia Gardens appreciate the support also north of the Fraser River. we receive from our community to make us the we receive from our community to make us the In Vancouver, Richmond, best retirement residence in Langley and Burnaby the Freemason’s best retirement residence in Langley Cancer Car Program was for two years running. for two years running. already working with the Cancer Society and kept going when the program was shuttered.

Do you have good hearing but poor comprehension?

Do you sometimes feel that you can hear well, but not fully understand what’s being said? This can be most evident in social conversations and watching television.

Fortunately, there may be a solution for some people dealing with this type of hearing loss ‑ the Audéo Venture hearing aid has been designed specifically to help improve speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

Poor comprehension in conversation can possibly be caused by undetected hearing loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise.

Hearing loss in the high frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear making it difficult to hear consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g.

Speech comprehension is even more challenging when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the highfrequency range do not consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down

Ginette van Wijngaarden, from Connect Hearing proudly displays the Audéo Venture hearing aid.

to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying.

Phonak Audéo Venture Hearing Aids This past year, Swiss audiologists have developed a hearing aid that can, in qualified candidates, improve speech comprehension for those with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can sign up for a free demonstration of the Audéo Venture hearing aids by calling now to do so. During your appointment, you will be given a hearing test and speech comprehension analysis. If

inner-ear damage is present, a hearing care professional will determine the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then programmed into the hearing aids, which precisely take into account and balance the frequency range of the person being tested.

The demonstration phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the hearing aid technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The hearing aid recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for some clients.

The school portrait of Christy Fraser, taken not long before her death, shows Christy wearing a red sweater that matched the colour of her thick, wavy hair and the freckles dotting her cheeks and the bridge of her nose.

Christy’s gymnastics career started at the age of seven with the Langley Flash (LGF’s earliest incarnation) and continued for another five years before her death. She had a natural inclination for gymnastics.

JUNIOR A HOCKEY

Rivermen winning their fair share, despite gruelling schedule However, Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson wasn’t going to use the schedule as an excuse, noting that the ’Men played a great game against the Warriors in a losing effort.

“Actually, I can’t agree with that,” Henderson responded, when asked if his team’s schedule played a role in Saturday’s loss.

“Considering it was our third game in three nights, I thought we played exceptionally well [versus the Warriors]. We had really good jump and I thought we were physical. I was pretty proud of the way we played.”

Henderson said every BCHL team is in the same boat when it comes to a busy schedule, especially after Christmas.

“Its been a tough stretch for us, no doubt, but most of the teams go through it,” Henderson said. “We have to make sure we’re prepared when we play. We have to be ready.”

Next weekend is more of the same.

The Rivermen play Thursday in Prince George, Saturday in Coquitlam, and Sunday afternoon at home, where they will face the Victoria Grizzlies with a 3 p.m. opening puck drop at the Langley Events Centre. > More: langleyadvance.com, search ‘Rivermen’

OBITUARIES

It is with deep sadness but great honour that we pay tribute to Walter, devoted husband, father, uncle, stepdad and grandpa who passed away at 96 yrs, on January 23 with family close by his bedside. He is survived by loving wife Joyce, children Ellen, Tom Stanbrook and June Long, and many adored grandchildren, nieces, nephews, stepchildren and their families.

Born in 1919 in La Pas, Manitoba to immigrant parents Pietro Baragione (Baragon Eng.) and Rosa Maier, Walter's siblings included his brothers Art and Earl and sisters Pearl and Mabel.

Walter's journey through life was adventurous and memorable from youth--hitching a ride in a train caboose across Canada, to lifeguarding in Nelson, gold panning in Barrier, plying the great lakes with the Merchant Marine in Ontario, sailing the high seas with the Royal Canadian Navy during WW II, and later running his own sawmill in Princeton. An aspiring writer, Walter wrote of his ideas in private journals. He had a lifelong love of knowledge and books.

Starting in the 1950s, Walter worked on several bridges and shipping ports as a pile driver and overseas in St. Vincent, West Indies in the 1960s, daring the risks of a dangerous but to Walter an exciting and challenging career.

But farming was in his blood; he enjoyed having two hobby farms, in Surrey and Langley. Following retirement he was remarried to Joyce and joined her on her family's farm in Langley where he lovingly raised his cattle for the next 3.5 decades between his many travels with Joyce around the globe.

Walter will be remembered for his honesty, humour, intellectual curiosity, caring ways, concern for mankind, hard work, and strong spirit.

A celebration of life will take place at the Fort Langley Senior’s Hall on Feb. 21 at 1:00 p.m.

Meet the people ICBC doesn’t want you to meet.

Sharene D. Orstad Partner

LANGLEY OFFICE

If you have been injured in a car accident, you may think ICBC will take care of you. However insurance companies have a vested interest in saving money and reducing costs, not paying you for your pain, loss or inconvenience.

Suite 205, 19978 72nd Ave.

Sharene has been a member of the DBM team for nearly two decades, working to protect the rights of personal injury victims. At the negotiating table or in court, Sharene will present your case in a manner that ICBC adjusters and lawyers will respect and understand.

F: 604-939-7584

Langley, BC V2Y 1R7 T: 604-534-2131

If you are injured and wondering what happens next, call Sharene to set up a free initial consultation about your case. We’re on your side.
