ANNUAL EVENT

Steam powers show Steam power will take centre-stage at the fourth annual Country Car Show at Otter Co-op in Aldergrove.

Put on co-operatively by the Central Fraser Valley Chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada and Otter Co-op, the April 24 show generally features classic cars from a wide range of eras, from muscle cars to Model Ts and everything in between, before, and after.

This year, however, there’s a little bit of steam blowing into the show.

Along with classic cars, a number of steam powered vehicles will be on hand.

Those who have steam powered tractors, carriages, or other vehicles and equipment are invited to sign up and put them on display.

The event is aptly named Celebrating the Era of Steam.

All steam powered entries are eligible for free registration, but steam vehicle exhibitors must register early to ensure adequate space.

The show also includes prize draws, music, and a burger and hot dog sale.

Contact show chairman John Jackman at 604-996-5646 for information.

Nathan Pachal, right, was congratulated by fellow candidate Kiernan Hillan after Pachal won the Langley City byelection Saturday night. of Pachal’s fellow candidates dropped by at the Best Western conference room where Pachal was stationed to congratulate him.

Among those were Kiernan Hillan, who had the second-highest vote total with 557.

Also dropping by early on were sitting Langley City Councillors Rudy Storteboom and Val van den Broek, and Mayor Ted Schaffer.

This is the second time Pachal has run for office, winning the seventh-highest vote

total in the six-person race in 2014.

“Losing by 71 votes was a little painful, to be honest,” Pachal said of the last election.

He was gratified to win decisively in the byelection.

The byelection was called to replace Councillor Dave Hall, who resigned his seat last year shortly before he passed away after a battle with cancer.

There were nine candidates running in the byelection. > More at langleyadvance.com

The future pool won’t be completely enclosed.

Langley Township council has voted to spend $1.5 million for a canopy over the pool at the future Aldergrove Recreation Centre.

The covering, which will feature a roof structure with lighting, supported by steel columns, will be included in the current construction project and funded through the Township’s Land Capital Reserve.

The canopy will provide shelter over the six-lane, 25-metre outdoor pool, but will not include walls.

Nathan Pachal was the clear winner in the Langley City byelection on Saturday, taking 740 votes out of the 2,074 cast for all nine candidates.

“I’m really excited that people in Langley City chose fresh ideas,” said Pachal, 32.

A longtime advocate for better local transit and walkable communities, Pachal spent much of his campaign talking about community safety, and enhancing both the business environment and Langley City parks.

He said one of the first things he wants to take a look at once he is sworn in as a councillor is to work on the Nicomekl floodplain, cleaning it up and making it more accessible for City residents.

He also wants to work on 203rd Street as well, including cycling access and greenways, working with residents along the roadway.

Recreation Centre will provide a unique, outdoor experience that can be enjoyed year round,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese. “The year-round pool will be heated, including throughout the fall and winter, by using excess energy produced from cooling the ice in the adjacent arena.”

In December of 2015, council decided to spend $280,066 for structural enhancements to the base building and footings that will allow for future construction of a canopy. They requested further information before deciding whether to include the canopy itself in the current construction project, or add it on in the future.

On Monday, following a presentation from Township

staff and the Project Team, council opted to move forward with the canopy at this time. The rec centre will be built in the 27000 block of Fraser Highway, on the site of the former Aldergrove Elementary School.

Deconstruction of the school is complete, and site work, including geotechnical reports and other preparations, are ongoing. Residents will notice significant construction activity beginning in August and September of this year. Following 18 to 20 months of construction and a commissioning period, the facility is to open May 2018.

The ARC will also feature a two-level arena, fitness centre, indoor walking surface, and multipurpose rooms.

A Surrey man, last seen leaving his Langley job, is missing and local police are asking if anyone has seen him.

Jeffrey Frank Kooistra, 50, was last seen Feb. 19 when he left his North Langley workplace, said Cpl. Holly Largy, a spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. Kooistra is thought to have taken a bus from Langley to the area of 152nd Street and Fraser Highway.

He then called home at about 4 p.m., and was expected to arrive in about half an hour.

He did not return home, and it is out of character for him not to make contact, said Largy.

Kooistra is Caucasian, standing 5’10” and has short, light brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a black hoodie and black running shoes.

Anyone who has seen Kooistra or knows his whereabouts should call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Cynthia brings extensive knowledge in advertising to her new position.

HEATHER COLPITTS

She began her career in radio advertising, in the small northern Ontario community of Elliot Lake. Cynthia has been in the industry for more than 20 years in radio, print and directory advertising, including the last 7 years in digital advertising sales with the Yellow Pages Group.

The Quino family were excited to try out all the new amenities at the Timms Community Centre.

While nine-year-old Eduardo checked out the stairclimbers that were taller than he was, his mom, Norma, explained how much the family is looking forward to making use of the new centre.

The family has lived in Langley for about a decade.

They used the Timms centre when it was temporarily moved to the Eastleigh Crescent site as well as making use of the City’s outdoor amenities such as Douglas and Linwood Parks, and walking trails to keep active.

“My daughter and me, we like the gym,” she said.

The games room caught her son’s attention and they like that the public library is part of the same complex. They were among the many hundreds of people who stopped by for the grand opening Feb. 24.

While many people were in the gym for the speeches and ceremony, plenty of others were touring the two-storey

In the gym, the public was able to see the items being put into a special visible time capsule in the atrium as well as the Brian Croft painting of the Timms House which originally stood on the property.

For Croft, the painting was a chance to work in watercolours which he hadn’t done for a few years.

“The City called me about two weeks ago,” he chuckled.

the colour of an old building such as Timms House.

The painting included the family’s greenhouses. Croft noted that Timms was one of the biggest produce and flower suppliers around, shipping stock across the country.

Timms also provided the flowers for the 1939 Royal visit of the King George and Queen Elizabeth.

Senior Timmie Timms was drawn to the piece. Her stepfather, Art, was a member of the Timms family and they lived in Vancouver.

“I was taken to that house in 1937,” she said.

She remembers going there in her stepfather’s 1922 Essex with her siblings to meet Art’s family as a small child.

Timmie, now a resident of Langley City, will get to use the new Timms centre, and like everyone else, see the painting in the atrium.

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.

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.

Who has time for legal pot?

L

ater this year or sometime in 2017, marijuana is likely to become legal in Canada. It was one of the Liberals’ promises during the election, and if they don’t keep it Ottawa will no doubt find a horde of cranky stoners standing in front of Parliament, under a cloud of fury (and also a cloud of pot smoke).

I’ve never smoked pot or munched on a pot brownie, which makes me a little unusual among people who grew up in the Lower Mainland in the last few decades.

I don’t know why I’ve never tried pot. Maybe it was the highly effective anti-drug talk I was given when I was young.

(Getting a recovering crack addict to talk in blunt terms about almost dying is effective on most eight-year-olds.) Maybe it was because I and my friends were boring nerds – our drug of choice was caffeine and role playing game sessions.

Part of it was that I distrust any product produced by associates of the Hells Angels in mildew-infested rental housing.

I mean, it’s not as if illegal pot is regularly inspected to ensure it’s free of pesticides,

herbicides, fungi, spider eggs, and other random adulterants.

You can’t call the Ministry of Agriculture to complain if you think that “organic” pot you got from your friend’s friend is actually coated with Roundup.

But now, legal pot is on the horizon.

And soon you will be able to get organic pot, and government-inspected pot, and pot with relatively well known dosages in measured quantities, bought from a store and not some guy who smells like the carMATTHEW peting in the back of a ’78 Chevy van.

So I wondered… should I try some?

I could buy a pot brownie at the Liquor Store or wherever it ends up being sold, and then…

And here my idea started running into the rocks of reality.

I wouldn’t want to take any on a work night, of course.

I get up early, and I’m fuzzy enough in the mornings when I’m crammed full of caffeine.

I don’t know how I’d react to pot, so I’d rather not try to slog

Painful Truth

he most recent increase to the government’s disability allowance was touted as if the provincial government was passing out gold bars.

In fact, the province was merely boosting the monthly amount by $77. For many people living in this province, that will be less than a month’s rent if the year’s worth of increase is combined. It’s a single trip to the grocery store.

Then the province decided to compound its stinginess by yanking back some of the money.

If you get a government-funded bus pas, you only get $25 a month. And depending on your transportation method, it can be as low as $11 a month.

These allowances are intended for people who, by definition, may have great difficulty finding work, and an even greater challenge finding housing.

Transportation is astonishingly difficult. For those with physical disabilities, a cracked sidewalk or poorly built crosswalk can be insurmountable obstacles.

And transit, while better than a generation ago, does not provide anything like full mobility, especially with the slow death by a thousand cuts being inflicted on HandyDart.

Most government assistance in B.C. can barely keep an individual or family out of abject poverty. It keeps people from starving or freezing, and that’s about it. It is supplemented by a variety of non-governmental programs, including food banks and Meals on Wheels.

Clawing back a meagre increase, as the cost of living heads ever upward, shows that the B.C. Liberals do not value all citizens equally.

– M.C.

through a day of work if I was still even slightly fuzzy.

So that would leave the weekends. Saturday or Sunday.

But the days are getting longer and brighter, and I was hoping to get out on my bike more often.

Vegging out on the couch for half the day isn’t exactly compatible with a fifty kilometre ride.

And I wouldn’t want any pot after I got back from a ride… I’ve got bathrooms to clean, and floors to mop.

CLAXTON And then there are groceries to buy, errands to run – I need to be able to drive for most of my weekend!

Vacation? Well, I was hoping to actually get away to the Island the next time I’m off.

More driving, there.

Honestly, I’m in awe of your average pot user.

I just don’t know when they find the time for their hobby.

I’m not going to have enough until I retire.

Letters to the editor

SkyTrain, not LRT, best for Langley

Dear Editor, Regarding Light rail fast as Skytrain [Feb. 18 Letters, Langley Advance]: I read this letter and say that the writer is missing the bigger picture here.

That being the real problem with LRT is that it will cause more road congestion with vehicles on the road, since it will have priority signalling, which will have every road crossing stop traffic every four minutes to allow the LRT through, and that is up and above the regular cycling of the lights.

This will cause big delays for emergency vehicles from get-

ting to where they need to go, because they will have to stop for the LRT’s priority signalling.

This would never happen with Skytrain, It is an above ground system so it does not interfere with the exciting road system, not delaying any traffic.

So I ask all you commuters out there: do you want to have to sit at a LRT crossing every four minutes or more?

Or, would you like to drive under the SkyTrain system and not stop when the SkyTrain comes through the intersection?

The time travel for LRT from Langley to Surrey is 35 to 40

minutes, as long as there are no accidents on the route.

The LRT has a greater then 50 per cent chance of being in an accident every day, which would shut down the LRT for hours at a time.

You wouldn’t have this problem with SkyTrain.

Contact your mayor and TransLink and let them know you do not want to sit in traffic any more then you already do now.

I hope this helps people see the difference between LRT and SkyTrain, and not how many of what was built by other cities.

Doctors trained to heal, not kill patients Dear Editor, Regarding doctor assisted dying, approval of euthanasia or “mercy killing” need not be, should not be, and is not a done deal.

At a local meeting held Jan. 30, the majority of doctors spoke strongly against being asked to be part of ending the life of their patients.

The doctors stated that they have been trained to heal and to provide care for their patients, not to be part of a killing process.

A palliative care doc-

Disabled bus users deserve refund Dear Editor, The provincial government recently announced seemingly arbitrary and illegal changes to the disability bus pass program.

Apparently, the government is cancelling the relatively inexpensive, convenient, and simple $45 per year disability bus pass.

The changes appear arbitrary because the disability community was allegedly not contacted.

Moreover, the changes are perhaps illegal because the B.C. government is allegedly violating contract law by cancelling the

$45 per year disability bus pass in September when the disability bus pass does not expire until Dec. 31, 2016.

Consequently, the B.C. government owes each disabled person, who holds a $45 per year disability bus pass, a $15.40 refund, which is for the four months left on the disability bus pass that disabled people will be unable to utilize.

To do otherwise is seemingly violating contract law.

Finally, no one is above the rule of law.

Linda Meyer, Maple Ridge

tor in attendance stated that in this day and age of good pain management, palliative and hospice care, it is not necessary for a patient to die in excruciating pain.

In September 2015, British parliamentarians voted 330-118 against a bill that would have enlisted doctors to help kill suicidal patients.

As one British MP and medical doctor stated, “I have never considered that death was a good treatment for anything.”

Canada’s parliament would be wise to listen to our medical doctors and to follow suit.

Letter writer Brent Hoag wrote about meeting CJ, a young man living on Langley streets.

Readers weigh in:

Tammy Post: Very true..very positive story... but alas.. there are ones that are abusive to many that have tried to help… it’s hard to help when you’ve been insulted and swore at… good that he tried and succeeded… its a positive in this crazy world.

At Prospera, our team is filled with home grown talent, including Francisco Dias, who’d like to introduce new team member Clive Agyar. ‘.

Vicky O’Connor (in response): One possible reason that homeless people might be abusive to those who try to help is because they have learned not to trust people and having someone try to be kind to them or appear to try to be kind is very frightening because they have learned that if they let their guard down, they will be sorry.

Robert J Bedford: Never judge a book by its cover – always lend a helping hand.

Langley’s Hilltop Cafe turns 70 years old this month. Readers weigh in on memories, and their favourite feature at Hilltop:

ANIMAL WELFARE

Seized dogs rehomed The first 23 dogs seized from an alleged puppy mill in Langley’s Glen Valley area are now available for adoption from the SPCA. A total of 66 animals were seized from the property on Feb. 4. The SPCA said some of the animals had serious medical issues, including broken bones, missing ears or eyes, infections, abscesses, and matted and feces-caked fur.

They were being kept in small, stacked cages in dark and unheated buildings, according to Marcie Moriarty, the chief prevention and enforcement officer for the BC SPCA. The 23 dogs up for adoption include eight adult wheaton terriers, three adult Old English sheepdogs, three adult Portugese water dogs, an adult Berenese mountain dog, an adult standard poodle and five 11-week-

old poodle puppies, and two five-month-old Portugese water dog puppies.

Due to overwhelming interest, the SPCA organized three information sessions March 2 for anyone interested in applying to adopt. Attendance at one of the sessions were mandatory for anyone applying, due to the emotional needs of the dogs.

“I feel strongly that by listening to people, we are making better project decisions.”

- Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

For more than four years, we’ve worked together with our neighbours and local communities to hear what they have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion.

By listening closely and having an open dialogue, we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and more responsive project. We are working to meet all the requirements of the regulators, as well as consulting with communities, Indigenous people, government agencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue to work with them throughout development, construction and operations. We know how critical it is to get this right. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hear with significant changes to the Project.

How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project: • • • • • • •

A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marine safety enhancements.

A commitment to offset any greenhouse gas emissions resulting from construction.

An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.

An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.

Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fish-inhabited rivers including the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.

Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three BC Class A parks.

Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

Church picks 2016 home repair project The home of a single mom and her children will undergo major renovations in May. TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

S

ingle mom Sarah Scarrow can’t do anything more than what she’s already doing to support her family of three adopted children.

But help is on the way.

This May, the team from the Aldergrove Adventist Church’s Extreme Home Repair (EHR) project will set up shop at Sarah’s Aldergrove home, giving her lots and lots of helping hands.

EHR is part of the church’s Acts of Kindness program.

Each May leading up to the Victoria Day (May 23) reveal, EHR recipients move out of their home to allow the team of roughly 200 volunteers – including tradespeople – to do their renovation work.

Dozens of local businesses also lend their support and supplies to the program.

Recipients are homeowners who aren’t able to fix up their own homes due to financial or health reasons, noted Aldergrove Adventist Church pastor Mike Dauncey, adding that Sarah and her family including children ages 18, 17, and 10 definitely deserve the support.

“We went over and visited Sarah, and after we looked at her house, we came back to the church and spent some time talking about her story and what we saw,” Dauncey shared. “We saw there

Sarah Scarrow and her children have been chosen as this year’s Extreme Home Repair was a definite need for this house.”

Dauncey said, “what really turned our heart towards Sarah was the fact that she adopted three children and has really given herself to raise these children who needed a home.”

Longtime EHR volunteer Lorne Brownmiller said it best, Dauncey related. “He said, ‘People who adopt children are in a class of their own.’ In other words, you really are giving a part of your life for these children.”

Sarah works full time and what she makes goes into the mortgage, so she simply doesn’t have anything extra left over for house repairs, Dauncey related.

And there are scads of repairs needed for the family’s split level home that is more than 40 years old.

Sarah told the Langley Advance the front window came unsealed and the window track has disintegrated, the kitchen cupboards are in “real rough shape,”

On Feb. 26, students from Fraser Valley Adventist Academy visited the home to help throw out unwanted items.

Volunteers or businesses who would like to lend their skills and services from May 8 to 23 can call Dauncey at 778-549-3896 or email pastordauncey@ gmail.com.

The EHR team will determine the scope of the work that needs to be done on March 6, with help from Site Lines Architecture, based out of Fort Langley, to draw up plans.

As for Sarah and her family, they know the next few months will be busy, but potentially lifechanging.

“Yes, it will be tons of work purging all our stuff and packing up the whole house,” Sarah said. “I keep reminding myself and my kids that the outcome will be more than worth the two months of work we have tackling the garage.”

Sarah said she’s blessed to have met Dauncey and the EHR volunteers.

“The whole team are a supportive, gentle, and genuine bunch. I never wanted to be negatively judged for not being able to repair my home and they came in and with Christ’s love, want to do this for me and my children,” Sarah said.

“They are really believe in coming alongside and uplifting people.”

Dauncey said a single mom trying to make it work in a one-income household is a perfect choice.

“Her house is in need,” Dauncey added. “She’s trying her best and we’re coming to help her out, to give her a better chance – to assist her in having a good home to raise these children in.”

If your patio is above ground, you’ll need to ask your manager or strata council if the structure will stand the significant weight of soil.

It’s best to begin with just a few containers because the first year will be all learning. Even in containers there’s thinning, weeding, pest patrol, watering, harvesting and crop rotation.

One important bit of learning is co-operation. Sometimes a few people do all the work while the others visit and cheer.

I’d suggest half-barrel size containers because soil dries out less in these. Also in winter, the roots of plantings in the middle are less susceptible to freezing.

It’s essential all your tubs have drainage holes in the bottom.

A piece of landscape

fabric or several layers of plastic mesh will stop soil from migrating out of the drainage holes.

Some patios have drains for excess water, but balcony patios may need protection under pots so water is contained.

It’s best to learn not to over-water and to never let soil dry right out unless you’re growing dryland plants. Dry soil has a sneaky trick of shrinking away from the sides leaving a narrow fissure all the way round the inside of the pot.

This allows water to cascade down and out of the bottom.

Meanwhile, the dry soil in the centre stays dry. If this happens, dig very small holes in the soil surface where water can pool.

Fill them frequently until the soil is moist throughout.

For a container garden all you need is a small shovel, a trowel, a small garden fork or rake. Stakes, tomato cages or a small trellis are optional depending what you plant.

Once the containers are in place, you can begin loading them with topsoil from garden centres.

Check whether fertilizer is already added.

Leafy vegetables like high-nitrogen fertilizer.

When you go to get the containers and soil, it’s best to go when the nursery isn’t busy and make a point of chatting to one of the assistants. If you talk to them about gar-

dening in containers, they’re very likely to tell you things you’d have never thought to ask.

Dear Anne,

I learned from my parents “Never pick rhubarb in a month with an ‘R’ in it.” This is quite different than your rule about picking until early June.

Does it develop too much oxalic acid after that?

Pat Pepperman, e-mail

The rule about not picking rhubarb after early June is one I learned as a child in England. I was told it tastes better in early spring and gets stringy and dry later.

But here I was told rhubarb develops higher levels of oxalic acid in summer. Our summers are hotter.

That would make a difference to rhubarb.

A lot of gardening practice can be adjusted by what a person does culturally.

I’m sure if you water rhubarb diligently while picking it, the moisture level in the stalks will be higher and oxalic acid lower.

Frankly, rhubarb roots are so huge and strong, it may be irrelevant exactly what one does when.

I’d say keep right on doing what suits you best. Just like adjusting cooking recipes.

Thanks for sharing – that’s one of the joys of this work.

Students exhibit diverse works RONDA PAYNE news@langleyadvance.com

Senior art students of Trinity Western University (TWU) showcase their perspectives on life and art in an exhibit running until April 30 at Langley Centennial Museum.

Retracing Social Practice opens Sunday, March 6 with a range of pieces, styles and themes.

Local graphic design boutique Flying Horse Design Studio is supporting the exhibit which

the firm’s owner, Christie Wengranowski sees as a win/win.

“I felt it was a good fit,” Wengranowski said. “It’s kind of exciting to be working with the community.”

Flying Horse previously hired a TWU grad to join the firm’s team and now is involved in both financial and creative support to TWU’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC).

As a former Langley Fine Arts student, Wengranowski knows the importance of education and exposure for

the TWU students.

“I’ve been working with [SAMC] since last year,” she said.

Rivermen’s playoff mission: tame Wild

H

The Langley Rivermen will have their hands full when they take on Wenatchee in a bestof-seven series.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

T

he Langley Rivermen have Wild times ahead of them, starting this Saturday, March 5.

In a cross-border battle, the Rivermen are facing Washington’s Wenatchee Wild in the opening round of the B.C. Hockey League playoffs.

There’s a nostalgic vibe to the series, with the Langley games taking place at the former hotbed of local junior A hockey – the George Preston Recreation Centre. The reason: the B.C. boys high school basketball championships are taking over much of the Langley Events Centre during the second week of March.

The Rivermen finished third in the BCHL’s Mainland Division with a 31-22-3-2 record.

As such, they’ll be facing the second place Wild (33-15-4-4) in the first round of the 2016 Fred Page Cup playoffs.

It will be a best-of-seven format, with the Wild hosting games one, two, six, and seven, while the Rivermen host games three, four, and five.

The Rivermen have just one win to show for their six meetings with the Wild during the regular season. The expansion Wild are 4-1-1 versus the ’Men heading into the playoffs.

Despite this, Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson said the teams are very closely matched, pointing to their 4-4, double overtime tie Feb. 23 at Wenatchee’s Toyota Town Centre.

“I like the way we match up

enderson said this, along with the Rivermen’s penchant for physical play, should make them a tough out versus the Wild.

“I think we play a balanced game,” Henderson said. “We can play any way you want to play. We can play up tempo and we have guys who like to play it physical.”

On that note, Graham added, “I think a big part of our game is to be physical with them to try to slow them down. Our physical presence is important because they’re a fast team.”

In goal, the Rivermen have split duties between Bo Didur (15-16, two shutouts, 2.99 goals against average) and Nickolas Trenciansky (16-9-2, two shutouts, 3.10 GAA). ames one and two are this Saturday and Sunday at the Toyota Town Center in Wenatchee, Wash.

Games four and five are Tuesday, March 8 and Wednesday, March 9 at the GPRC, both with 7 p.m. start times.

Returning to the GPRC, where as a defenceman with the Chilliwack Chiefs, Henderson went to battle against the former Langley Hornets from 1998 to 2003, should be interesting for the Langley bench boss.

“It’s a smaller building with shallow corners, so we don’t get a lot of time [with the puck],” Henderson said. “It’s a fast rink with hard ice, so it suits our team well.”

Game five, if necessary, is Friday, March 11 at the GPRC, starting at 7 p.m. If games six and seven are necessary, they will be played in Wenatchee March 13 and March 14.

Henderson hopes the intimate setting of the GPRC will benefit the Rivermen. “We’re hoping for a good turnout. The crowds have been good here [in the LEC] in the second half so it should be a good series.”

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL

Hometown junior Gators take second in B.C. TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

The silver lining to the Walnut Grove Gators’ splendid season comes in the form of the medals they took home from the B.C. high school junior boys basketball championships.

In Tuesday’s final at the Langley Events Centre, the No. 4 seed Brentwood College School from Cowichan Valley defeated the Gators 51-43 to capture the B.C. title.

The Fraser Valley champion Gators punched their ticket to the final by beating the No. 3 seed, Kitsilano, by a 62-55 score Monday at the LEC.

Brentwood earned a trip to the gold medal game by downing top-seeded Handsworth 58-51.

In earlier B.C. tournament action, the Gators reeled off wins over Burnaby South (68-51), Steveston-London (5553), and, in their opener, St. Thomas More Collegiate (73-53).

The Gators’ James Woods was named to the tournament’s first-all star team while his teammate Azino Tyrell Urepe was named to the second all-star team.

Brentwood’s Brendan Sullivan was MVP of the tournament, which ran Feb. 27 to March 1 at the LEC, and also included the Brookswood Bobcats.

Second-team all-star Azino Tyrell Urepe was one of two provincial award winners from the Walnut Grove Gators junior boys basketball team. First team all-star James Woods was the other.

kids’ health

EYEGLASSES

A

dults know when they are beginning to experience trouble with their vision. In such instances, men and women will book appointments with their eye doctors to determine what’s causing their problems. But whether it’s a fear or eyeglasses or simply feeling their symptoms are normal, kids might be hesitant to tell their parents about any vision problems they’re having.

Warning signs of childhood vision troubles

As a result, parents must learn to recognize certain warning signs that indicate their children are experiencing vision problems.

Vision problems in youngsters can be especially problematic, as many of the lessons kids learn in school still begin on a chalkboard. The following are some potential indicators that kids might be dealing with vision problems that require medical attention.

• Reading habits: Vision problems may be most noticeable when kids are reading. As youngsters learn to read, they might use their fingers to keep their place while they figure out the pronunciation of certain words. But kids eventually grow out of that habit. Kids who are still doing so long after they have learned to read may be having trouble seeing words on the page. In addition, kids who pull their reading materials very close to their eyes may be struggling to see the words.

• Viewing habits: Peculiar viewing habits may also be indicative of poor vision. Kids who sit too close to the television may be struggling to see what’s on as opposed to just being overexcited to see their favorite shows. Kids who prefer to watch programs on tablets they can hold as opposed to televisions may also make that choice because it’s easier for them to see on their tablets than on the television. In such instances, ask why they prefer tablets to television. When kids watch TV, ask them to move further away from the television. If they complain moving back makes it hard to see, book an appointment with an eye doctor.

• Eye rubbing: Many kids, and even adults, rub their eyes when they are feeling fatigued. But kids who seem to rub their eyes frequently and at times of the day when they should not be tired may be experiencing vision troubles and feeling frustrated that they cannot see very well.

• Eye activity: Some kids begin to close one eye when reading, watching television or attempting to read signs. That may be indicative of a refractive vision disorder, in which the eye struggles to focus, or refract, light correctly on the retina. Such problems can often be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses.

• Squinting: Kids who squint a lot may be finding it difficult to focus on words on a chalkboard or even television programs. Squinting may also be brought on by a corneal abrasion. Parents who notice their youngsters are squinting should consult the child’s eye doctor.

Vision problems can be especially harmful to children, who rely on their vision to perform their schoolwork. Parents who learn to recognize the various warning signs of vision troubles can nip problems in the bud before they have too great an impact on youngsters.

kids’ safety

How to

childproof your home

N

ew parents face a host of challenges upon bring their newborn sons and daughters home, not the least of which is childproofing their homes so the newest additions to their families are safe and sound. The strategies moms and dads employ when childproofing their homes will change as youngsters grow older and mure curious, but the following are a few tips to get parents started.

• Install safety latches and locks on cabinets and drawers. Curiosity might start to take over at the moment infants learn to crawl, so new parents should install safety latches and locks on all cabinets and drawers in their homes.

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission notes that such latches and locks can prevent access to a host of potentially harmful items, such as medications, cleaning products, knives, and other sharp objects.

• Use anti-scald devices. Burns from hot water can quickly cause significant burns to young children’s skin, so install anti-scald devices that regulate water temperature and reduce the risk of kids being burned. Lowering water heaters to 120 F to further reduce the risk of burns.

• Use safety gates at stairways and in rooms that are off limits. Safety gates around stairways and in doorways of prohibited rooms can reduce the likelihood of potentially harmful falls and keep kids out of rooms where they might be harmed. Place gates in the doorways of rooms that contain sharp objects, work tools, substances that can prove harmful if ingested, and any other items you don’t want inquisitive tots to come into contact with. Make sure all safety gates at the top of stairways are the kind that can be nailed into the wall.

• Attach bumpers to the edges of sharp furniture. Corner and edge bumpers can reduce the risk of injury when kids bang their heads on sharp furniture such as coffee tables or other items with hard edges. Make sure the bumpers are firmly secured before allowing youngsters into the room.

Infants, toddlers and young children are vulnerable to injury around the house.

Parents can reduce that injury risk by taking several steps to childproof their homes.

kids and giving

How to raise kids who GROW UP GIVING

T

he message of giving has reached new levels in recent years.

While charitable endeavors have long been the center of many local communi-

ty groups’ outreach efforts, social media has made charitable efforts as popular as

ever, with millions taking part in exercises such as the Ice Bucket Challenge and other ventures meant to raise awareGenerosity ness for charis something children can itable causlearn at an es.

early age and continue into adulthood

Charitable giving is a family tradition in many households. Many parents find that the earlier they introduce their children to charitable giving and volunteering, the more likely their kids are to embrace these efforts, both immedi-

ately and into adulthood. Parents can impart lessons to their youngsters about the importance of giving during the end of the year, when many charities raise their public profiles, or when newsworthy events, such as devastating storms, draw attention to the less fortunate.

Nancy Phillips, founder and president of DollarSmart Kids Enterprises, Inc., says it’s been scientifically proven that giving increases self-esteem and self-confidence.Chil-

FOR THE 2016 LANGLEY

SASSY AWARDS The four Rotary Clubs of Langley are proud to announce the first annual Langley SASSY Awards. SASSY stands for “Service Above Self” Student Youth, incorporating Rotary’s guiding motto. The awards aim to recognize and celebrate the achievements of youth who exemplify the ideals of Rotary by making a positive impact in our Langley community and around the world.

dren who learn that they can help others will soon realize they have the power to make a difference.

Recognizing that they can make a big change is a very empowering discovery for kids.

Here’s how parents can foster a love of giving.

• Choose age-appropriate tasks. Young children do not have a lot of money, so try to find charitable tasks that allow them to donate their time and skills. Kids can help make cookies for bake sales or participate in food drives in front of grocery stores for certain charities.

• Let children choose the beneficiary of their efforts. Children may have their own ideas about who they want to help. Let kids choose because they’re more likely to get behind the effort if they feel their input is valued.

• Lead by example. Don’t just pay lip service to the idea of being charitable. Provide a good example by getting involved yourself. Make sure the entire family gets involved with the effort of giving.

• Create a giving account or box. Make it a family tradition that members of the household donate an item or a small amount of money they receive to the box each month. At the end of the year, the family can deliver those funds and gifts to a charity of choice.

• Talk about giving at dinner. Make philanthropy a regular part of family conversation. Discuss the plight of the less fortunate with your children, focusing on the value of volunteering and helping others.

Children can learn to be generous and give to others at an early age, and those that do are more likely to grow into charitable adults.

Do you have

questions or concerns about your child’s development?

Nominations are now being accepted in 7 categories for youth aged 15 to 21 living and/or who have made a significant impact in the Township or City of Langley. The awards will be presented as part of the awards show on Friday, May 6, 2016 at the Chief Sepass Theatre located in the Langley Fine Arts School.

Each Award Winner (one in each of the seven categories) will receive:

$1,000 AWARD $500 DONATION TO THE REGISTERED CHARITY OF THEIR CHOICE

summer fun

Begin planning

kids’ summer recreation now!

M

any families spend winter figuring out how to chase away cabin fever and endure frigid temperatures until spring and summer mercifully return. Parents thinking ahead to swimming pools and days lounging on the beach can put their daydreams to practical use by planning ahead for their youngsters’ summer vacations.

Youth recreational programs and summer camps can bridge the gap in care between the end of school and the day when classes resume. Due in part to high demand, parents who want to place their kids in summer rec programs or summer camps should being vetting such programs and camps well in advance of summer. The following are a handful of tips for moms and dads who want their kids to have fun and fulfilling summers.

• Ask for recommendations. Speak with fellow parents and trusted friends about where they send their children.

Personal recommendations can be very helpful, providing firsthand insight into a particular camp or program. Schedule appointments to visit camps that fall within your budget. Take your son or daughter along so he or she can get a sense of what camp will be like.

• Explore all options. Camps come in more flavors

Summer school break will be here before you know it. Make sure you’re prepared for camp and other recreational programs.

than ever before.

Certain camps may be faith-based ministries while others may focus on particular sports. Band camps and art camps may appeal to creative kids.

Also, there are plenty of general-interest camps that offer various activities without narrowing in on any particular one. Parents may need to choose between a sleepaway camp or day camps, depending on which camp experience they want for their children.

• Inquire about camp schedules. While many camps are flexible, day camps do not have the same level of flexibility as after-school programs. Arrangements will need to be made if care is required after regular camp hours. Speak with camp staff to see which types of after-hours programs, if any, are available.

• Determine your camp budget. As varied as program offerings may be, camps also can vary greatly with regard to cost. Government-run camps may be less

expensive than those offered by private companies. Day camps typically cost less than those that provide room and board.

Find out if a particular organization subsidizes a portion of camp costs.

Scouting programs often have a dedicated camp and may offer affordable options for scouts.

Martial arts schools and dance centers frequently offer camp schedules.

If camp seems out of reach, look into local summer recreation programs at parks or schools. Such programs may not be as extensive as those offered by camps, but they can quell kids’ boredom and keep children occupied during the day.

In addition to camp, remember to plan for some free days so children can just enjoy some downtime. Such days can break up the monotony of a routine and provide kids and families time to relax together.

Summer recreation may be far off, but it is never too early to start making summer plans, including finding camps and other activities for kids.

PARSONS, Wayde Manley Wayde passed away peacefully on February 10, 2016 in Abbotsford B.C. He was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta on Feb. 7, 1946 to Martha (Porat) and Manley Parsons.

Wayde is predeceased by his parents, sister Mavis and his eldest son Warren. Growing up Wayde lived all over Alberta and B.C. In 1967 Wayde and his wife Linda settled down in Surrey, B.C. to start a family. Two sons and 3 years later he purchased the first of many gravel trucks. In 1970 they moved to Langley and he started his own trucking business. Five years later daughter Jennifer was born. Although trucking was his main passion he was also involved in the restaurant and night club business.

Purchasing Langley's own "Country Palace" in 1979 and renaming it "Jennifer's Cabaret" after his only daughter.

Through all his successes and failures Wayde never lost his zest for life. He loved gopher and duck hunting in Alberta, fishing, playing crib and road trips with Elvis music blaring. He loved hockey talk, cars and reading.

He loved his grandchildren, family and friends.

Wayde leaves to mourn his passing, son Darren (Tracy), daughter Jennifer and their mother Linda, eight grandchildren, twins Darren and Warren, Cody, Emily, Joshua, Max, Kaylie and Angelina. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by his brothers Dwight (sons Keith and Ken and their mother Wilma, and daughter Amber) of Alberta, Bradly of White Rock, B.C., his special friend Gaylynn (son Mike) and Lily.
