MOTHER’S DAY

Family’s Disney wish comes true A recent trip to Hawaii was therapeutic for all of the Bickells.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

With Mother’s Day around the corner, Langley mom Lisa Bickell reflected on the lazy, hazy days in Hawaii, when her little girl had an adventure she won’t soon forget.

The Hawaiian sun shone on Anna Bickell while she floated along the “lazy river” at Disney’s Aulani Resort in Oahu.

Anna said she liked the lazy river “’cause I get bounced around by the current.”

The recent week-long tropical trip was made possible for Anna, her 10-year-old brother Matthew, and their parents Mark and Lisa by the BC & Yukon Chapter of The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada, which grants the favourite wish of children diagnosed with a life-threatening illnesses.

Six-year-old Anna and her family needed a getaway after

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

Anna Bickell, along with mom Lisa, big brother Matthew, and dad Mark, had an adventure at the Disney’s Aulani Resort in Oahu, thanks to the BC & Yukon Chapter of The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. all they’ve been through over the past year.

Anna required surgery after she was diagnosed with posterior fossa ependymoma (a malignant brain tumour), one day after her fifth birthday.

Surgery was performed at BC Children’s Hospital to remove the tumour on Aug. 27, 2014, two days after the diagnosis.

With the surgery in the rear

view, the Bickells received some much deserved R & R thanks to the Children’s Wish Foundation.

“I think there’s a bit of a misconception that Children’s Wish is only for children who are terminal, which we’re not, we hope,” said Mom. “Her illness still is, and will always be, a part of our lives.

There’s a long list of possible side effects from radiation…

and of course we have to live with the risk of it [the cancer] coming back.”

Anna knew she had the opportunity to go on to Hawaii because she got sick, Mom said.

And the therapeutic benefits of the trip was “immeasurable,” Lisa. “I don’t think she understood [the severity of the cancer] but my son did, and that was something that we had to navigate with him.”

That’s why, when Mark and Lisa applied for the wish, they did so for the entire family – with the idea that Matthew had endured so much, as well.

In Hawaii, Anna spent her days wearing a life-jacket, floating along the lazy river.

“She would just drift around in circles laughing and carrying on,” Lisa recounted.

Mark said the entire experience was memorable.

“It wasn’t just the trip, it was everything,” he said.

Lisa said if she takes anything away from this experience, it’s how wonderful people can be, from friends and family to the entire community.

ENVIRONMENT

Metro Van limits lawn watering earlier Local water restrictions are taking effect earlier than in previous years and will last longer to try and cope with the warm weather.

Metro Vancouver stage 1 restrictions begin May 15 in both Langleys. In the past they started a couple of weeks later.

All municipal water users are under the restrictions.

“We have been experiencing longer, hotter seasons and everyone needs to make a commitment at home to ensure our water levels are respected,” said Erin Pawlikowski, coordinator of the Township Water Wise Program, which is conducted by the Langley Environmental Partners Society.

Lawn sprinkling is only allowed from 4 to 9 a.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays for homes with even numbered addresses, and from 4 to 9 a.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays for odd numbered addresses.

Water supplies are not limitless, Pawlikowski said.

“That’s why people need to let their lawns go golden and focus on draught-resistant landscaping. We need to think about what’s important, and little efforts make a big difference if everybody does them.”

Non-residential properties with even numbered addresses can sprinkle lawns Mondays and Wednesdays 1 to 6 a.m., with odd numbered addresses permitted Tuesdays and Thursdays 1 to 6 a.m. Nonresidential addresses can sprinkle lawns Fridays 4 to 9 a.m.?????

Those on private wells are not bound by the restrictions, but the Township asks them to conserve water as well.

“During the warm season, our water usage increases by 50 per cent, which puts a strain on the environment and our limited water resources,” said Township environmental coordinator Meaghan Norton Daniel.

She noted that some parts of the Township rely solely on groundwater drawn from local aquifers. If too much water is extracted in these areas, there is the potential for a water shortage. Other areas serviced by the Township’s municipal water system receive a mix of groundwater and water from Metro Vancouver reservoirs, which rely on snowfall and rain to replenish them each year.

Township fire crews reported several fires over the last week of April and into early May. “I wouldn’t say it’s the norm, but I wouldn’t say it’s unusual,” said assistant chief Bruce Ferguson.

Last year was highly unusual, with an extremely dry spring and summer that led to dozens of brush fires over several months.

Fire crews were busy.

He said that the number-one culprit in brush fires remains discarded cigarettes.

POLITICS

Byelection case dismissed The court case over the City byelection is over.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Serena Oh’s attempt to overturn February’s Langley City byelection results through the courts was dismissed last month.

At a hearing in the B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, Oh’s petition was dismissed by a judge.

Oh, who represented herself, had claimed the results of the Feb. 27 vote were “manipu-

lated” and that she had received twice as many votes as Nathan Pachal, who won the vacant City council seat with 740 votes.

In fact, Oh received 57 votes, the least out of the nine candidates in the race.

The City’s response to Oh’s legal case noted the lack of evidence that anything unusual had taken place during the vote.

“There is no evidence to support the allegation that Ms. Oh received the majority of votes, that the vote tally is incorrect, or that the election was not conducted in accordance with the local government act…” said the City’s response to

Oh’s suit, presented by lawyer Francesca Marzari.

The response also noted that all the ballots issued and cast were accounted for, and that the total amount of ballots issued balanced with the ballots cast and unused.

The City’s response also said that Oh had a legal history “of raising unproven allegations of discrimination and fraud.”

In 2012, Oh was declared a vexatious litigant, and was ordered not to start any legal proceedings without the permission of the court.

Oh should have applied for a recount earlier, within nine days of the close of voting, the City’s response said.

Mushroom farms fined for water pollution TYLER OLSEN Black Press

Federal and provincial environment ministries are investigating after Bradner residents found black, untreated water flowing from two mushroom farms into local streams that lead to fish-bearing Nathan Creek.

The owner of the two farms on either side of 58th Avenue, Huu Quach, has already been

fined $1,500 by the city for breaching its Waterways Protection Bylaw.

Quach says work to rectify the situation is underway.

A photo posted on the Bradner Barker community website and purportedly taken last week showed dark grey water flowing from the tributary into Bradner Creek.

That creek eventually leads to Nathan Creek, which the Glen Valley Watershed Society says

has previously been a spawning ground for a variety of salmon and trout species.

Last week, the city fined another mushroom farm and composting facility – located on the opposite side of 58th Avenue and owned by the same man – $1,000 for fouling another creek leading to Nathan Creek.

The city said after a complaint forwarded by the Ministry of Environment,

staff found an uncovered and unlined storage for waste materials at H.Q. Mushroom Farm “was leaching into a water system” leading to Lehman Creek. Two $500 fines were issued on April 22.

The Bradner Barker’s photos show pipes snaking around the creek and a sludgy substance on the surface of the small stream.

LEGO my stuff Executing a drug warrant nets police a stockpile of stolen toys.

HEATHER COLPITTS hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

It took a while for the Langley RCMP to put together all the pieces but they finally broke apart the case of stolen LEGO. Police would eventually discover about $120,000 worth of stolen merchandise.

A Langley man, Henry Bennett Smith, 31, was given a two year conditional sentence and 145 days in jail (time served) after pleading guilty to a variety of charges from several jurisdictions in the Lower Mainland, said Langley Sgt. Ravinder Pawar.

The charges included trafficking in stolen property.

Since September 2015, the police have received more than 20 complains of LEGO theft just in Langley.

“This investigation was complex in nature and began in the fall after a large quantity of LEGO was found in Smith’s residence when Langley Drug Section executed a search warrant for drugs and weapons,” Pawar explained.

The Prolific Offender Suppresion Team (POST) joined the investigation.

“The quantity of LEGO was a red flag to investigators leading them to believe Smith may be involved in the theft and selling of LEGO products,” Pawar said.

POST discovered in January that Smith had a rented storage locker and the team obtained a search warrant.

“Over 50 plastic totes full of new LEGO was located and SMITH was arrested the following day when he attended the storage facility,” Pawar said.

More search warrants were obtained for the man’s residence and his vehicle. His home contained a large quantity of LEGO and other products including sports collectibles, expensive toys, cosmetics and clothing. It is estimated that more than $120,000 worth of stolen items recovered.

“The challenge with this type of crime is most of the offences are not reported due to the nature of shoplifting,” said Langley RCMP Supt.

Murray Power. “Increased quality and quantity of retail surveillance cameras are having a very positive effect on this crime type. We continue to work with any business seeking advice or assistance in crime prevention options for their business.

The Langley RCMP wants the public to know this is not kids’ stuff and such crimes have broader implications.

“Willful blindness to the black market ends up enabling criminals and hurting everyone at the end of the day,” Power said. These may be the same people that end up stealing from you some day.”

The police advise people to ask where items come from and be careful when buying items off the internet from private sellers.

“Mr. Smith had a long run of acquiring stolen goods and our success at stopping his network will have a positive effect on local businesses and collectible shops,” Power said.

The Langley Hospice Society has approval for a new standalone hospice facility with 15 beds.

The society has been working with Fraser Health to create additional capacity to meet demand.

“Our hospice beds are pretty much at maximum,” said society president Kathy Derksen.

“Increased bed capacity means that Langley residents don’t have to go to other facilities.”

nfoster@mortgagegrp.com

w w w. a s k N a N c y. t m g b r o k e r . c o m

Sometimes local people have to use hospice sites outside the community, which makes it harder for family to see them.

The Ministry of Health has committed to double hospice spaces across the province by 2020.

The Langley site will be planned and constructed over the coming few years. Derksen couldn’t offer a set timeline as the society has specifics to iron out with Fraser Health for construction and ongoing operations.

Some other communities

have freestanding facilities but there’s no consistency in agreements with health authorities over funding.

Hospice facilities provide a home-like setting for people to spend their final days.

The society oversees a 10-bed facility on the Langley Memorial Hospital grounds.

“It’s in an aged facility which has its extreme limitations,” Derksen explained.

The new site replaces the existing facility which was an interim site when it was set up several years ago.

“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.

•

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.

Car show shines in sun TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Summer-like weather drew a crowd – and scads of vintage and souped-up cars, trucks, and bikes – to the fields of D.W. Poppy Secondary on Sunday for the school’s annual car show.

“The show went great on Sunday – good weather, great cars, and wonderful support from the community,” said Marlene Yakabuski, the committee chair and a parent volunteer with the car show.

The feature attraction were the roughly 700 entries parked on the school’s sports fields.

The roughly $24,000 raised from the show

Yakabuski said this was the most successful car show to date.

“We had some great sponsors and cash donors leading up to the show including our trophy, dash plaque and poster sponsors, our 200 pre-registration option sold out on Wednesday [April 29], the Fort Langley Lions felt they did very well, our concession basically sold out, the dry grads sold over $400 in sunglasses at their booth, and we had a great turnout at the show, with people being generous at the gates,” Yakabuski said.

Prison term for carjacker JENNIFER SALTMAN

A Langley man who rammed two unmarked police vehicles, then committed a carjacking almost four months later while on bail has been sent to prison.

Daniel Monaghan, 27, appeared in provincial court in Surrey Monday.

On Nov. 9, 2015, Monaghan pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon, dangerous driving and possession of stolen property in connection with an incident in Surrey Nov. 2014. Monaghan was driving a stolen vehicle with two passengers when he drew the attention of two RCMP officers. As they followed, Monaghan put his vehicle in reverse and rammed the vehicles, injuring both officers.

He was released on bail, but breached his bail conditions in February 2015 when he stopped living at a recovery house.

Earlier this year, Monaghan was convicted of possessing stolen property over $5,000 and robbery in a March 2015, incident in Abbotsford, while on bail.

“These were not just property offences. They both involved violence in addition to possession of stolen property,” Judge Andrea Brownstone said. “It stopped being a game.”

In the car-ramming case, Brownstone sentenced Monaghan to 20 months time served, taking into account credit for the time he has already spent in custody.

For the breach, she sentenced him to seven days in jail, to be served concurrently.

On the carjacking, she sentenced Monaghan to two years in prison, to be served consecutively, followed by two years of probation.

He is also prohibited from driving for two years.

No? Not surprising. Kumamon is the government-created mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture, a district of Japan.

Kumamon is a smiling, rotund black bear with a white face and bright red circles on his cheeks. He shows up at public events, waving and having a blast, and being photographed frequently.

And then those photos go into the all-powerful and ever-hungry maw of the internet.

A few years back, photos of Kumamon, stripped of all local context or identifying information, started turning up in the English-speaking internet.

Painful Truth

e like to think of childhood and youth as a carefree time when concerns are about scraped knees or first kisses, homework or what to wear for grad.

But the Norman Rockwell mythology of childhood and youth doesn’t jibe with the reality. (See page A9 for a young person’s insights on mental illness and how it impacts every facet of her life and decision making.) So what’s a young person to do when he or she has a mental illness?

If someone has an injury or illness, society accepts that they need help and should have help.

But our mind-over-matter culture expects people to ‘get over it’, particularly young people because of attitudes like ‘they’ve got it easy. They don’t know how tough life really is.’

Young people locally have said they feel alienated from their community because they must leave to access help.

That’s some of the feedback gathered by the Langley Local Action Team, a local group of doctors, nurses, other health professionals, government agencies, emergency services, social agencies, community groups, young people, and family representatives.

Its mandate is specifically to improve local access to youth mental health issues and substance abuse issues, which go hand in hand.

The team started by trying to increase resources for mental health treatment. But the biggest challenge for the team is tackling the social stigma around mental illness.

That stigma stops adults from getting help so it’s only natural that young people could be even more reticient to come forward.

Who wants that label slapped on them?

Change starts with acknowledging that mental illness is just that – illness.

How will your gift save a life today?

Teen mental illness is real

Dear Editor,

I’ve changed my entire life over mental disorders. This is not a cry for help nor attention, but rather awareness.

I’m 17, I rarely go to school from fear and stress, as well as never wanting to get out of bed.

I only take four classes in school, I had to change my whole schedule around because I was falling behind from never showing up. I dropped math, chemistry, PE 10 and practically film now.

I take English and socials outside of school and I don’t know if I’ll even get through that. I’m known as a skipper or lazy for not showing up, I make jokes about it too and lead it on, but rather I find every reason in the world not to go to class and scare myself out of it.

I thought about going into business or becoming a lawyer.

But that’s four more years of school, costing money I don’t have. That’s time I can’t promise, and stress that could break me. That’s high school courses I dropped, and grades I could never reach. I had to change my future plans because of a mental illness that some people

refer to as being an attention whore or just plain lazy.

It is not my choice to disappoint those around me. It is not my choice to upset myself.

It is not my choice to have the thoughts that I do and the worries that I think. I cannot work right now because I get extreme anxiety in workplaces and they do not understand.

No one can understand. It took me a year to even take my L test out of fear. I’ve been experimenting different medications and coping techniques for over a year. These are medications that practically come with a notebook of possible side effects. Medications that can make you way worse then you already are. Different doses, and kinds, ones that make you so sick you can’t move. Medications that if you stop taking for even a day can put you into withdrawals.

It’s a common pattern here, you see, I’ve changed my life for mental illnesses. Am I proud? No. I can’t say I am.

But I cannot change what I do or think and so all I can do is move forward. Am I guaranteed to graduate with my friends? No, but I can try with all my abilities to get through.

Really, what I’m trying to say here is that mental illness is no joke. It’s not being lazy, or asking for attention. It’s changing your entire life to fix the way you feel every second.

It’s putting yourself and the people around you through hell as you experience so many ups and downs of emotions, agitation, frustration, sadness and panic.

It’s not being able to complete simple tasks and being looked at as if you’re crazy because of it.

It’s knowing that you’ll live with this for the rest of your life whether it improves or not.

I know you can’t understand.

I know you try. But when someone says they have mental disorders, just remember, they aren’t always in control.

They will snap, and cry, yell and scream, ignore and annoy, but they are trying. Treat mental illness with as much seriousness as you can. They’re real disorders. Chances are you or your friend has one.

Do yourself and others a favour; educate yourself about them and what you can do to help, as well as trying to educate others.

Shockingly, we have lost all of the Willoughby area to big development in two to three years.

All the thoroughfares in the Willoughby area – such as 200th and 208th Streets, next 216th Street – are now jam packed with cars all day long.

Dense condo and house building is racing up and down 208th and 200th Streets. It is packed with the construction of thousands of townhomes, condos, new homes, shopping

malls, lots of blacktop – creating more garbage and air pollution.

Where are the quiet green treed public city parks, jogging trails, picnic areas with swings and playgrounds for our children? Where are all the people in the condos going to go for parks? Where are the large wooded public parks in the Willoughby area of Langley – similar to Surrey’s Bear Creek Park or Tynehead Regional Park?

Remember, green spaces are needed

As Chief of Surgery at Langley Memorial Hospital, and as one of your neighbours, I am committed to ensuring our hospital provides the best possible care. I hope that you will consider giving to Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation to help us purchase new surgical equipment. By helping us buy the best equipment, you help to ensure the best care right here in our community.

Willoughby’s uniqueness is lost Dear Editor,

Meet Dr. Mitra Maharaj

for people to enjoy nature, for birds, and small animals. Recent medical studies have shown that wandering down a nature trail in trees and woods outdoors is very beneficial and healing to human wellbeing.

We also need trees to filter out the impurities in the air; thereby protecting our respiratory organs.

Until 2006 rural Langley still had quite a bit of large treed lots along 200th and 208th Streets. However, unfortunately we are losing them at a

high-speed. I understand 216th is now under the developers’ scrutiny, plus Brookswood.

The current Langley Township Mayor and council are not protecting any of our large treed areas for public parks for people to enjoy. They seem to be only catering to the developers and almighty dollar.

Mayor and council, where are our large public city parks in Willoughby? Sadly, we have lost Willoughby.

LANGLEY WALK

Connecting through music

TROY LANDREVILLE

A community chorus brings together various ages in song.

Sharing a Mom’s Day tradition tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Mother’s Day, of sorts, arrived a week early for 77-year-old Shirley Van Meer, who strolled side-by-side with daughters Linda Marshall and Debbie McGregor, and the rest of her family during the 54th annual Langley Walk.

The free community walk began Sunday afternoon at the Timms Community Centre and offered five- and 10-kilometre routes.

For Van Meer and her daughters, the walk is a family tradition.

Marshall said this is an early Mother’s Day celebration for the family: “It always is, definitely.”

“We love it,” McGregor added. “We look forward to it, every year. We see each other a lot, anyway, but it’s definitely a time when we can get more of us together – get to see the great nieces.”

Van Meer dressed for the occasion, adorned in a shirt decorated with 40 Langley Walk crests on its front and the back – each crest commemorating a walk that she completed.

“I started [the Langley Walk] a year after my husband,” Van Meer said.

Marshall, like the rest of the family, is walking in honour of patriarch Stan, who passed away five years ago.

“He really enjoyed it,” Van

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

The Langley Walk is a family tradition for 77-year-old Shirley Van Meer, joined by her daughters Linda Marshall (left) and Debbie McGregor (far right), and great granddaughter Faith Van Meer.

Meer said, of her late husband.

“He knew so many people, too.”

“He was a big Langley Walk guy,” McGregor said.

“I did it [the walk] a few times but I’ve moved to Chilliwack so I don’t come as often,” Marshall said. “But now that my dad has passed away, I come every year.”

Marshall said her mom can walk circles around her.

Van Meer belongs to the Hearts in Motion Walking Club, with members doing morning laps around Willowbrook Shopping Centre.

Asked if mom walks at a faster pace than she does,

Marshall responded, “definitely, she really [does]. We do the Sun Run together sometimes, too.”

In addition to walking to pay tribute to Stan, Marshall said the Langley Walk is a “great event.”

“It’s just good to be out and walking around,” Marshall said.

The family reflected on doing the walk during its heyday of the 1980s.

“When it was early, it was great,” Van Meer said.

“Thousands of people used to show up when it was earlier.”

Marshall remembers the challenging 10-mile route.

Township Page For the week of May 5, 2016

Whether young or young at heart, the 25-year-old Langley Community Chorus attracts people of all ages who share a love of music.

Take Muriel White, for instance. She and her late husband David joined the chorus more than a decade ago, and White is still involved and loving it.

At the other end of the spectrum, there is 13-year-old Jordan Thompson – a Grade 7 student from Noel Booth Elementary – who is also grateful to the chorus for what its brought to her life.

This pair join the rest of the choir in performing three concerts, one Saturday, May 7 at St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church, 3025 264th St. in Aldergrove, another Saturday, May 14, at 3 p.m. at Grove Church, 20784 93rd Ave., and the last on Sunday, May 15, at 3 p.m. at the United Churches of Langley, 21562 Old Yale Rd.

be needed?

A:

A: Professional

schools have an established and structured curriculum designed for long-term development.

Programs are designed to continually advance the student through a series of promotions. A strong foundation of basic concepts must be established before advancement. This takes time!

Community center programs are an inexpensive way to try out a martial art.

Courses offered are usually seasonal, and provide a short introduction. They can be a great foundation to developing a strong interest in martial arts. However, if you wish to study an art in greater depth, a professional school, although a longer commitment, is usually the way to go.

Why Bother Hiring a REALTOR® in a Hot Market?

A:

A:

Definitely! No one plans on getting sick or injured on vacation, but sometimes it is unavoidable.

Travel Insurance is not just for trips to the USA, but worldwide. Travel insurance will cover you for emergency hospital and medical expenses. Without travel medical insurance, you would be responsible for all your medical expenses that can total thousands of dollars and put you in serious debt. For more information, please stop by and see us. We are more than happy to help you find the coverage that meets your needs, be it a single, annual, or family plan. Call us today!

Are there any tricks to painting

Generally, use more delicate strokes with less paint on the brush when painting any kind of trim or details. Below are some more tips for each specific area. Windows Mask off the glass panes. Use a small trim brush to paint the dividers from top to bottom. Paint the window surround areas next. Then use an angled trim brush to paint the face trim around the window. Siding Trim Paint trim from the top down. Use the largest brush that fits the trim you’re painting. Take care that paint doesn’t “glob” or drip as you work in crevices and joints. Doors if the door has raised inset panels, paint those first. Then paint the door surface surrounding the panels. We have the paint, tools and our knowledgeable staff to help make your paint project a success.

Just because the market is on fire, doesn’t

benefits. The key changes that occur are: PAIN RELIEF: Lasers block pain signals by releasing endorphins and enkephalins which are the body’s natural painkillers.

INFLAMMATION REDUCTION: Lasers increase the size of the arteries and lymphatic vessels, allowing swelling to be cleared away from injured sites.

ACCELERATED TISSUE REPAIR: Lasers stimulate the energy production centre of the cell (mitochondria) which increases the energy available to these cells and dramatically repairs injured tissues, leading to faster healing.

TIPS from the EXPERTS!

Q: What are some actions to avoid when

Q:

I feel I hear but don’t always understand, is this an indication of hearing loss?

trying to get out of debt?

A: Hiding from creditors: Ignoring

A:

creditors can lead to them taking further steps to collect, including seizing wages and assets.

Paying off family debt first: Paying family debt in priority to other debts can be viewed as preferential treatment and can cause future problems.

Getting a co-signor: By co-signing, a person is agreeing to take on 100% of the debt if you can’t pay.

Cashing in RRSPs: RRSPs are federally protected assets. Don’t cash RRSPs to pay debt unless you fully understand the rules and the tax consequences.

Paying for debt advice: It should never cost money to discuss your options, so speak to a Trustee first. We can often give you the information you need to move forward in a free consultation.

The most common type of hearing loss affects the high frequency sounds.

High frequency sounds are the sharper sounds that we would also call the “treble” range. These sounds include speech sounds that are important to allow us to hear clearly and properly discriminate the difference between words. Sounds such as Kris Goos F,S,K,T,SH,CH,P and G fall into this range.

Hearing Instrument Practitioner It is very common for a person with high frequency hearing loss to not notice much trouble one-on-one in quiet environments but to have some difficulty in the presence of background noise or with certain voices 604-510-5142 (softer voices and often women/children are harder to understand). The best way #101-20611 Fraser Highway, Langley to know for sure is to have a free hearing WWW.CVOH.CA screening at our clinic.

Q: I am so nervous at the dentist,

especially about freezing; what can be done to make it easier and less worrisome?

A: We understand that dental anxiety

strikes 50% of Canadians. We have the best technology for safe, effective and comfortable anesthesia. The Wand system allows for us to do away with conventional syringes, and provide freezing like never before. Many patients are surprised to realize that the freezing has been applied, without noticing any of the typical sensations associated with traditional needles. We also offer a reversal anesthetic, this allows you to leave our office with the areas we worked on feeling back to normal. Our focus on patient comfort extends from the beginning to the end of your appointment; so leave all anxieties and tensions behind, and enjoy our friendly staff and comfortable treatments.

Remembering Mom’s strength, selflessness, and cooking

Cooking in Langley

Mother’s Day is approaching, and it is not only a day to show respect to your mom, grandmother, and/or wife, but also to remember and reminisce.

A couple of months ago my mom turned CHEF DEZ 80 years old. We held a large birthday celebration for her, and I was called upon to address the crowd with my recollections of her being in my life.

This is kind of ironic actually, because I am the one who has caused her the most pain on that date in history – I was born on her birthday.

My mom was the biggest influence on my life.

Being a single parent of four children for many years, she persevered through many of life’s obstacles to ensure a suitable developmental environment for all of us.

There are many examples of her dedication to motherhood, but the fire of culinary aspirations that she fueled within me is something that I am forever grateful for.

She was always there to offer me a spot beside her in the kitchen. While other boys my age were involved in various sports activities, my idea of a team was her and I in the kitchen of our home. Still to this day, I can almost hear the scuffing of the old wooden footstool as I dragged it across the floor.

There I would stand proudly upon the flour-dusted crevices as she secured my apron, readying me for our next culinary adventure.

As a child, she, too, was always by her mom’s side in the kitchen. It was there that she gained the culinary skills that were passed on to me.

Many of the meals that I was exposed to as a child were influenced by not only her German heritage, but also by the underChef Dez is a food columnist and culinary instructor in the Fraser Valley.

Creative simplicity was always the focus as we transformed everyday ingredients into something incred-

Friday awards honour 42 kids A new program lauds young achievers while helping youth at risk.

ROXANNE HOOPER rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Friday night’s SASSY Awards are about recognizing achievement of Langley’s youth.

But it’s about much more than that for Rod Wainwright and Daniel Bennett, two Langley Rotarians spearheading this year’s new initiative.

The awards event at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley on May 6 is also about bringing awareness to – and action for – the youth at risk in this community, the duo said.

Originally, it was thought the SASSY Awards would honour achievements of local youth, ages 15 to 21, and raise “a bit of money” for youth-at-risk programs or facilities in the community.

But this past year has proven to be a steep learning curve for the two self-proclaimed “grey-haired old men” and their fellow Rotarians (from all four of the Langley Rotary clubs), who have gotten behind SASSY. They’ve learned the problems of youth-at-risk in Langley is much larger than ever expected, shocked to learn that at least 200 local kids are at

Students had to climb a 10-foot wall in the second-annual Tuff Wally competition at Walnut Grove Secondary.

Walnut Grove Secondary students conquered the wall to raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation on April 8.

The second annual Tuff Wally event coincides with an annual school-wide walk that has been held since 2005.

The idea for the more competitive event began with two Walnut Grove teachers, Jeff Keen and Logan Kitteringham, along with students Cyrena Timmins and Emma Smithson.

Students compete in teams of five to get through an obstacle course.

The course began with a short run, which ends with a steep hill up 88th Avenue. Then the obstacles start with a set of machine tires that have to be flipped, a slip and slide, a knees-high tire run, a rope crawl and balance beam.

All the while other students get to bombard them with water guns and water balloons, said Keen.

The last obstacle is the 10-foot high wall which has to be tackled as a team.

An after party organized this year by the student council included a DJ, inflatable games, food trucks, and a dunk tank.

Principal George Kozlovic was one of the first into the tank, and was dunked by a student with an accurate throwing arm.

Several local sponsors offset the cost of the event and got their names on the giant will in return.

The Tuff Wally, along with an annual Bus Pull event and classroom donations raised $6,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation.

Keen said the school hopes to raise even more next year.

Former Ram making impact When the Toronto Argonauts were scouting a draft-eligible player from last year’s class, they caught a glimpse of Langley Rams receiver Malcolm Williams, their interest growing each time they rewound the film and saw something new.

Williams, who grew up a B.C. Lions fan from his home in Maple Ridge, played junior football when academics derailed his university hopes. Junior football players can only play until the age of 22.

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

North Langley Trappers’ Eli Euverman raced from the dugout to give Cooper Hill a big hug, after he scored the winning run against the Cloverdale Black Wolves Sunday afternoon during the final game of the Will Smith Memorial 9U Tadpole Tournament.

Below – the Trappers celebrated their victory.

BASEBALL

Trappers triumphant on home soil TROY LANDREVILLE sports@langleyadvance.com

The Will Smith Memorial 9U Tadpole Tournament featured a storybook finish for one of the host teams.

The weekend baseball tourney in Walnut Grove that involved 12 teams consisting of seven-, eight-, and nine-yearolds playing 23 games over four days, all boiled down to one run.

When the dust settled at home plate, Cooper Hill slid in for the winning run as the North Langley Trappers edged the Cloverdale Black Wolves 11-10 in Sunday’s final at Walnut Grove Park’s George Zarrelli Diamond.

Cooper made a break for home from third base after his teammate Brayden Rawe

hit a ground ball towards first in the final inning. His slide knocked the ball out of the Cloverdale catcher’s glove to win the game in walk-off fashion, marking the first time in the tournament’s history that a North Langley team has captured the first place trophy.

Brayden Rawe received player of the game honours in the

final for his game-winning RBI. Both the Trappers and Black Wolves had to win two previous games to get to the final and it was a tight game the entire way.

The weekend featured six North Langley teams, three Cloverdale teams, plus squads from Langley Baseball, White Rock, and the Surrey Canadians to round out this three pool, round robin event.

In its fourth year, the tournament honours Will Smith, who passed away in 2013 from pancreatic cancer at the age of 47.

He was a coach and volunteer with North Langley Baseball for many years, plus played Little League with Whalley back in the 1970s and ’80s, a time in which he played in a pair of Little League World Series competitions.

OBITUARIES

Pattie Coles (Firth) One of the oldest residents of Langley has passed away at almost 106 years of age.

Pattie Coles (Firth) was born on August 21st, 1910 and passed away on April 30th, 2016.

She was born in England and married Bernard Firth. They moved to Canada in 1972 as both of their children, Shirley and Reg, and their families were already living in Langley. Bernard passed away in 1974 and some years later, Pattie remarried Percy Coles, now deceased.

Pattie was an active member of the Ladies Auxillary with the Langley Legion, carrying the flag in parades when she was 75, and worked at the Langley Lodge for many years. She was also a member of the Jazz Club and loved to dance – even dancing at her 100th birthday party at Newlands in 2010. She loved spending time with family and friends, and also in her favorite spot at the casino! For the past few years she has resided under the excellent care at Simpson Manor in Fort Langley Pattie and Bernard had three children – June Firth (predeceased), Shirley Walkley of Langley and Reg (Fay) Firth of Vernon. She is also survived by her four grandchildren, Pam (Tom) Erikson of Langley, Julia (Gunnar) Loveng of Oak Harbor WA, Teresa (Ben) Choquette of Langley, and Neil Firth of Langley. She also leaves great-grandchildren Elizabeth Erikson, Andrew (Jessica) Erikson, Weston (Anna) Loveng, Brittany (Christopher) Loveng, Kelsey Firth, Kayla Firth, Ethan, Owen and Trinity Choquette and three great-great grandchildren, Thomas, Kaleb and Annabelle Erikson.

Pattie was an inspiration to so many and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Services will be held at Henderson’s Funeral Home in Langley on Monday, May 9th at 11 am.
