Pure reckless disregard for other drivers was the likely cause of a crash that killed a school bus driver in South Langley Tuesday morning, police say.

Jim “D.K.” Neiss, a 59year-old bus driver for Langley School District, was slammed off the road by a dump truck just after 5:30 a.m.

The dump truck was heading down a slight slope and passing two other cars on a solid double line, said Cpl. Patrick Davies of the Langley RCMP. Neiss’s four-door light pickup was flung off the road to the south, and was pinned between the crushing weight of the dump truck and a power pole.

Neiss had been headed for work at the time.

Accident investigators showed the two vehicles to the press on Wednesday. The pickup was so deformed by the impact that the steering wheel was positioned in the rear passenger seat.

The entire cab had been compressed to about half its normal width.

“This is one of the worst collisions I’ve seen,” said Supt. Norm Gaumont, head of RCMP traffic services for the Lower Mainland.

The RCMP are still finishing up their investiga-

There is no indication that drugs or alcohol were involved, and no mechanical problem has yet been found with either vehicle.

Even speed wasn’t a major factor. The dump truck was probably travelling at between 60 and 65 km/h, in a 50 km/h zone. But two cars, each going 60, can hit at a total speed of 120 km/h, causing a tremendous impact, Davies noted.

A Langley School District employee died Tuesday morning after a collision along 16th Avenue.

Police are hoping to find that driver, who was apparently in a small white car, and may have turned off around 232nd Street. That took place between 5 and 5:30 a.m.

They also need to speak to the driver of one of the two vehicles that was being passed when the dump truck slammed into Neiss’s pickup.

One of the drivers stopped and talked to investigators, while the other kept driving. That driver was in a small, white car, possibly an Accord or a Civic, Davies said.

Mayor, council doing battle again

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The latest front in the war between Mayor Rick Green and his Township councillors is about appointments to Metro Vancouver committees.

Green will sit on six Metro Vancouver committees this year, despite council recommendations

that he sit on just three.

The head of Metro Vancouver’s board, Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, appointed Green to six posts.

Township council had voted to recommend that Councillors Bob Long, Grant Ward, and Charlie Fox sit on three of those committees.

After the vote was held in early December, Green said, he spoke with Jackson who asked if he want-

ed to stay on the committees.

“Because she said she wants continuity on the committees,” Green said.

He sent a follow-up letter to confirm his interest.

“I would be very pleased if I was to be appointed to the same committees and positions as this year [2010],” the letter said.

Dealer loses case

A casino dealer who cheated at cards and was fired from his job has lost his claim for wrongful dismissal.

Rezi Ghadipasha worked as a dealer for almost 12 years, spending the last four years at Cascades Casino in Langley.

On Jan. 11, 2009, Ghadipasha finished a shift at Cascades, ate dinner, drank a glass of wine and took two Tylenol 3s before heading to the Boulevard Casino in Coquitlam around midnight.

At the casino he had a beer and a half, and played cards.

One of the Greater Vancouver Zoo’s iconic predatory cats has died.

“Results of a post mortem of Nagy will be announced when they are completed.”

Bruce Burton

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The lord of the pride of lions at the Greater Vancouver Zoo has been felled by a medical condition.

On Wednesday, zoo staff announced that Nagy, an 18year-old male lion, had been euthanized due to a large, inoperable mass in his chest.

The tumour was discovered several days before, when zookeepers noticed Nagy was having trouble breathing.

He had also been showing a recent loss of appetite and lethargic behaviour, said zoo spokesperson Jody Henderson.

Zoo vet Dr. Bruce Burton was called in, and after an examination, it was decided to put Nagy down humanely, Henderson said.

“Results from a post mortem

Staff and volunteers are affected by the death, Henderson said.

“It’s hard, as always,” she

said.

The lion’s absence has also been noticed by his daughters and the other nearby big cats, which have been making more noise than usual at night.

Nagy has been a zoo resident for more than a decade.

He was born in captivity at the Okanagan Game Farm, and was moved to the Greater Vancouver Zoo in 1999.

He has had two mates and has fathered three litters, with a total of nine offspring, including Mali and Kali, two daughters who still live at the zoo.

In the wild, lions are lucky to live to be 15 years old. Nagy was somewhere in late middle age for a lion.

The zoo has seen a number of deaths of animals over the years, some of them tinged with controversy.

A drop in growth has Langley Township tightening its belt for this year’s proposed budget.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Higher taxes and some service cuts are both parts of Langley Township’s planned budget for 2011.

“We are still digging out of the hole,” said Township deputy director of finance Derrick Sparks. “The financial crisis created challenges that most of us are still facing, including declining revenues and rising costs.”

That’s led the Township financial staff to suggest a 3.95 per cent tax increase, as well as cuts to several areas.

Aside from the now-receding recession, there are three main problems facing the Township. The first is that growth suffered a dip below expected levels, meaning fewer new taxpayers.

That resulted in a shortfall that also has to be made up this year to balance the budget.

In 2010, Spark said population growth was expected at a rate of about two per cent, but it was only 1.4 per cent.

This year, the original projection was 2.5

per cent growth, now downgraded to an demonstration garden in Murrayville, and expected 1.5 per cent boost. shorter hours for several community centres The reduced growth was a holdover from and pools. the recession and from the sudden crisis in If no cuts are made, the tax increase housing that hit in late 2008.

For example, staff are looking at reducing Every one per cent dip the shrubs and trees planted below expected growth means along streets, replacing “We are still digging $832,000 less money for the many of them with grass, Township, Sparks said. which costs less to mainout of the hole.”

A car thief swiped an idling van with two children in the back Tuesday morning from a Walnut Grove daycare, police say.

The driver had stopped in the 8800 block of Walnut Grove Drive to drop off her young baby, said Cpl. Holly Marks of the Langley RCMP. As the mother waited at the door of the daycare, her van backed away, with her 10-year-old boy and three-year-old girl still in the back seats.

Police believe the thief didn’t initially notice the children were in the back. Once she realized they were there, she stopped the van and ran to a nearby Honda Civic.

Witnesses gave police the licence plate number of the Civic, which was also stolen.

The children were not harmed, but the incident could have easily turned tragic, Marks said.

The suspect in this theft is described as a young Caucasian woman, about 16 to 19 years old, slim, standing about 5’6” with blond hair pulled into a pony tail. She was wearing a dark head “Children, unlike band, grey track belongings, cannot pants, and a jacket or hoodie. simply be replaced.”

The attempted theft Holly Marks was one of three, all of idling and unattended, unlocked cars, in the Walnut Grove area on Tuesday morning.

The first took place at 6 a.m. when a man’s 2010 red Mazda Tribute was stolen when he got out to use a bank machine in the 19900 block of 96th Avenue.

The owner gave chase on foot and flagged down another driver, who followed the car over the Golden Ears Bridge, and eventually lost the vehicle in western Maple Ridge.

A third theft took place minutes after the carjacking of the children, in the 9400 block of 210 Street. In this case the owner had left the car running and gone back into his home to get his children. As he stepped out of the front door, he saw his 2009 grey Pontiac G6 pulling out of his driveway. He didn’t get a good look at the thief.

Mounties are reminding drivers to keep their cars secured at all times when they are not attended.

“Children, unlike belongings, cannot simply be replaced,” Marks said.

Modern cars do not need to be warmed up for more than about 30 seconds before being driven, even on cold days. The engine will warm up faster when driven than when idling in a driveway.

A Township councillor confirmed he is considering running for mayor.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Township Councillor Charlie Fox says he may run for mayor this November, but he’s yet to make a firm decision.

Fox, one of council’s staunch opponents of Mayor Rick Green, said he is certain that someone will run and attempt to unseat Green during the fall election.

“It may be me, I haven’t made that decision yet,” Fox said.

Green, who is still in his first term as mayor, already announced last year that he intends to run for the office for a second term. Green defeated Kurt Alberts in the 2008 election.

Computer scammers on prowl, police warn The Langley RCMP say a new scam is making the rounds, and locals should be on guard.

In the scam, the victim gets a call from someone posing as a Microsoft

employee, who asks for authorization to take over the computer remotely, allegedly to fix a serious problem.

The calls are completely fraudu-

lent, said local RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks.

People with that access may be able to get at personal or banking information on the computer.

Telus items taken from local compound Police fear crooks may use the stolen goods for more thefts.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Police are worried that a stolen Telus uniform and tools could be used for impersonation or theft.

Sometime late on the night of Jan. 17 or early the next morning, a thief cut through the fence around the Telus compound in the 21500 block of 88th Avenue, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The thief or thieves

took a variety of tools and electronics from a parked vehicle, along with a pair of orange overalls with the Telus logo on them.

Police are now asking the public to watch for suspicious activity around power poles.

Wire theft has recently increased around the Lower Mainland, and someone in a Telus uniform would look less out of place than the typical metal thief.

Suspect living locally

Global B.C. television reporter Ron Bencze has moved to Langley following allegations of sexual assault on a child under 16 years old.

Bencze, 44, is charged with one count of sexual assault, two counts each of sexual inference with a person under 16 and sexual touching of a person under 16.

The offences took place between 2001 and this year.

Among the conditions of Bencze’s release are staying away from parks, public swimming areas, daycares, schools, playgrounds or community centres; working or volunteering anywhere he will be in a position of trust or authority to a person under 16; and not being in the presence of anyone under 16 except in the company of another adult. He is also prohibited from communicating with his alleged victim or the teen’s family or going within 500 metres of their home. Bencze is also not to go to his own home, except on one occasion with a police officer to retrieve his belongings. He will reside at a Langley address in the meantime.

The award-winning journalist has been a reporter with the station since 2004 and is on leave.

owners to be careful when opening their door to “repairmen” who arrive without an appointment.

In many cases, phony repairmen knock on doors and say they are there to fix anything from the TV to the gas main to the electricity. They are usually trying to get access to a home to steal small, valuable items and cash.

A real Telus employee will not just have proper branded clothing, but will have a Telus ID, a business card, and a work order. In almost every

case, they will call ahead to make an appointment.

If there is any doubt about the authenticity of a repairman, police say the homeowner should call the company and double check.

The Telus repair line can be reached at 611, and is a good start for questions about Telus workers or phone line issues.

Anyone with information on the recent theft can call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Feuding laid at Green’s feet It’s official. It’s time for Langley Township’s mayor to grow up.

And his friend over at Metro Vancouver, Lois Jackson, could do with a refresher course in democracy.

Politics easily lends itself to ambiguity of an individual’s apparent intentions – and the issues at the heart of the divisions between Mayor Rick Green and his councillors have been complex.

Besides, Mayor Green’s intent has not always been obviously contrary to a rational public view.

But his way of going about things – even when he might arguably have had constituents’ better interests in mind – has time and again been counterproductive, and outright provocative against his council.

Even when he has been right, he has found ways to be wrong. Whether or not his concerns about the Langley Events Centre had merit, his confrontational manner of raising those concerns did not.

He had a right to disagree with his council over the Mufford overpass proposal, but he had no right to take his grievance to the Agricultural Land Commission in direct contravention to his council’s wishes.

And several times he has been dead wrong. He was unquestionably in error when he misled his council in an attempt to dredge up an old – unsubstantiated – scandal which led to his censure last summer.

And now he intentionally subverted the wishes of his duly elected council, enlisting the aid of old colleague and Metro board chair Jackson (who needs to be reminded that Metro Vancouver is an appointed, and at best pseudo-democratic body).

The independent consultants Gerald Berry and Allison Habkirk have confirmed what many have suspected all along: Green does not play well with others.

Mayor Green holds an important position that requires adult behaviour.

Dump trucks terrify drivers I live on 16th Avenue, where being passed by a dump-truck and pup trailer is so commonplace that it barely raises a comment (the hairs on the back of my neck are another matter).

I was westbound on 16th Avenue and preparing to turn north on 240th Street today when such a truck roared by me on the left, taking up the turning lanes on both sides of the intersection. If anyone eastbound had chosen that moment to enter the turning lane, it would have been another head-on collision.

In the first place, 16th has way too much truck traffic on it for what it is: a rural road with a single lane in each direction (at least in our area).

And while most truck drivers are fairly responsive and responsible on the road,

too many of them accelerate far beyond the speed limit, to create momentum when approaching hills.

For those of us on 16th Avenue, it is frequently terrifying to hear that roar of acceleration just as we signal an intention to turn into home. With eyes on the rearview mirror, we see the truck loom suddenly larger, and we must ask ourselves, “Is he going to hit me?”

One gets good at making that judgment, but the thought of visiting family and friends having to experience the same is very discomforting.

My plea is for sensitivity training for local dump-truck drivers who must use 16th Avenue, and some new consideration from the Township on how to make 16th safer.

School board

Oversight not warranted Dear Editor,

I noticed that Fiona Miller [Thanks – to most candidates, Jan. 18 Letters, Langley Advance] inadvertently failed to thank one of the school board candidates in her letter to the editor.

I’m sure it was just an oversight. To intentionally thank all but one of the candidates would be extremely childish, pathetic, and mean-spirited, so I have to assume that it was just a mistake. After all, I’m sure that Ms. Miller is a mature and informed adult, not some 12year-old “mean girl.”

I’ll take this opportunity to correct her oversight and thank Hattie Hogeterp for her campaign, and also for her many years of service to the school district and the Langley community.

Running a campaign is a time-consuming and tiring proposition, no matter which side you are on, and all of the candidates are to be commended.

contents of the first car, and move on in the next car.

We live on a quiet cul de sac, the last place you would expect to find car thieves.

They drove the first stolen car into our neighbour’s driveway, transported some stuff to our car, backed out of the driveway (hitting the neighbour’s car), and merrily went on their way to the next victim.

We know one of the thieves is woman with long, dark hair. She drove off with our car, a charcoal Pontiac Vibe.

For us, the loss of the car was nothing compared to the loss of our daughter’s skating bag, a bright red metal box on wheels.

She has been skating since she was two, and is on the junior ladies provincial figure-skating team.

Her skates are worth more than $1,500, but are of no use to anyone else, as they are custom fit.

The car thieves keep your keys, so you must change all the locks on your house.

The powers that be at the Township are asking taxpayers for their opinion about services and tax values.

Langley Township council has broken down, and there is little likelihood that it can be repaired, according to a consultant’s report released this month.

“Given the culture of conflict amongst the council and the mayor’s open rejection of the fundamental principles of shared and collective decision-making, it is our conclusion that holding a working session to address the issues at this stage in the council’s term is unlikely to produce a satisfactory outcome and in fact might further inflame prevailing conditions,” the report says.

The report recommends cancelling a Jan. 22 workshop, saying it would not be a good use of Township time or money.

“It’s no secret there are conflicts within council,” said Mayor Rick Green about the report. But he rejected the idea that he has turned his back on making decisions with the rest of the council, saying, “That’s the choice of words, in my view, of some members of council.”

“Show me an example of where I’ve done that,” he said. “I haven’t rejected the idea of collective decision-making in any way, shape, or form.”

Councillor Kim Richter noted the recent dispute over Metro Vancouver commit-

Councillor ‘bloody well ticked off’

…continued from page A1 Fox, one of Green’s most vocal opponents on council, called it another example of the mayor defying council’s wishes.

“I’m just bloody well ticked off with this whole thing,” Fox said.

Coun. Kim Richter said she can’t ever recall Metro Vancouver, formerly known as the GVRD, ever appointing someone not recommended by the council.

“I was shocked to see that he [Green] had sent that letter on Dec. 10, which was a week after council had sent its letter,” she said. “I don’t think the [Green’s] letter was appropriate, period.”

Richter notes that she often disagrees with the votes of the council as a whole, but added, “I don’t go out and try to actively sabotage their decisions.”

Green said the councillors are just attacking him to refight the last election.

“It’s strictly political,” he said.

Jackson said she didn’t want to “play politics” between mayors and councillors.

But she appointed Green because he has experience, and she didn’t want to swap

out committee members with a year to go before the next elections.

“I just have to go with the strongest and the best, and that’s what I have done,” she told the Langley Advance in a voicemail.

“This is not without precedent,” she added, pointing to her appointment of Surrey Mayor Diane Watts against that council’s recommendation.

The new dispute arises just as the Township received a report from consultants saying there is little hope of repairing dysfunctional relationships between the mayor and council.

Fox said he will make a statement about the appointments at the next regular council meeting (Jan. 31) during his report as Metro Vancouver representative.

Meanwhile, Richter said the system needs to be fixed, so that the Metro Vancouver director can’t simply appoint anyone she wants.

Green and Jackson served as aldermen together in Delta in the late 1980s, before Green moved to Langley and Jackson ascended to the post of mayor.

tee appointments as an example: “He just goes and does his own thing.”

Richter also said she was surprised at the report’s blunt language.

“It’s kind of refreshing, though, to hear a consultant say, ‘Don’t waste your money,’” she said.

Coun. Bob Long also agrees it’s too late in the term to hold a workshop. “I guess we dragged our feet too long,” he said.

However, he said he still believes council is making the right decisions.

“I don’t see any hope,” Coun. Charlie Fox said of the state of council. He put the blame squarely on the mayor.

“It’s driven by a lust for power and a disregard for council,” he said of the mayor’s actions.

The report, by Gerald Berry and Allison Habkirk, has been almost a year in the making. The two consultants were hired at the end of 2009. Their job was to help council and the mayor understand their duties and responsibilities, and to look at communication issues between council, mayor, Township staff, and the public.

Green came to office in early 2009, and came into immediate conflict with the majority of council over budget issues. He has also sparred with his fellow councillors over issues ranging from the size of photos in advertisements for his Mayor’s Forum meetings to closed workshops.

Last year, council voted to censure Green, and stripped him of two posts, including that of Metro Vancouver representative. The censure was for misleading council about how he came into possession of certain documents.

Zeppers come north

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

ased out of L.A., a group of devoted Led Zeppelin fans are travelling north to share their passion for everything Zep – and rock music in general – with their fellow fans in Langley.

Led Zepagain is performing Thursday, Jan. 27 at the Cascades Casino’s Summit Theatre.

It’s the only stop on band’s most recent North American tour, and the first time the group has ever performed in Western Canada, manager James Elliot told the Langley Advance.

“We’re coming in for the one show,” Elliott said. “And they’re coming to show you that they’re the best tribute to Led Zeppelin ever, at least I think so.”

To substantiate the claim, he noted that Led Zepagain is the only Led Zeppelin tribute personally endorsed by former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, and the only tribute band to sell more than a million downloads on iTunes.

In fact, Page went on record saying: “It’s as close as you’ll ever get to the real deal.”

The superstar added: “It’s amazing how much you sound like us. You must have grown up on this because you were inside the music, and you paid attention to detail in your presentation... I can tell you guys really love the music!”

A Led Zepagain show features all of the Zeppelin highlights, from the high energy electric

classics, to the beautiful acoustic works; from the soaring leads on the double-neck guitar, to the brilliant keyboard passages, and from the high Robert Plant screams, to the trademark pounding rhythms, said show promoter Rob Warwick of Rock.It Boy Entertainment.

“They take their audience to a place that not only replicates Led Zeppelin, but captures the heart and soul of the world’s greatest band and recreates the ultimate Led Zeppelin experience in concert, with such classic songs as Stairway to Heaven, Rock ‘n’ Roll, and Black Dog,” Warwick added.

One fan, who caught Zepagain at a show at the Skye Supper Club in Peoria, Ariz. on Sunday gushed about the show, saying they “really tore it up.

“The violin bow section of Dazed was actually better than the real thing…,” said Kurt Finchum.

“The guitar solo in No [Quarter] was modeled after the version on TSRTS [The Song Remains the Same] with many of Pages’ licks reproduced note for note. Vocals, keys, bass, and drums were all on the money, but like the real thing, it was a guitar show,” the fan elaborated.

“Nicely done; thanks, guy…

The whole show was masterfully done. I had some musician friends there, and everyone was impressed. But then, Jimmy Page gave them a thumbs up, so who else do they need to impress?”

Finchum recommended.

public notices Snow and Ice Control: Public Safety Tips for Residents

During winter snowstorms, municipal staff work diligently to deliver defined levels of service. Service is provided during severe and potentially dangerous weather conditions. Sometimes our best efforts can be delayed due to challenges beyond our control. Here are some ways you can help us get the job done: • Remove vehicles parked on the road in front of your property so that snowplows and sanders are able to complete work.

• Avoid driving or delay driving whenever possible until the snowfall slows or stops entirely. Reduced traffic provides municipal vehicles an opportunity to clear the roads.

• Do not attempt to stop municipal vehicles that are sanding, salting, or plowing. All requests for service must be made by calling 604.532.7300.

• Place garbage cans and recycling boxes on the sidewalk and/ or boulevard. Remove them as soon as possible after they are emptied. Garbage and recycling services can be impacted during severe storms.

• Place snow shoveled from your sidewalk and driveway onto your lawn to the right of the driveway. This will prevent plows from plowing snow back into your driveway.

• Avoid pushing shoveled snow onto the road. As plows push to the right, snow will be pushed back into your driveway. Public and vehicular safety is compromised when snow is pushed or shoveled onto roads.

• Clear snow from the sidewalk adjacent to your property as soon as possible. This is the responsibility of all property owners.

• Clear any curb-side catch basins in front of your property so that water produced by melting snow flows into the basins and not into your driveway or house.

• Children and pedestrians are advised to walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic, so they can see, hear, and avoid plow equipment and general oncoming traffic.

• Advise children against building snow structures in snowbanks at the side of roads as children may be injured by the equipment widening the travelled road lanes.

• Advise children against playing sports on the road when roads are being sanded and plowed. This causes hazards for municipal vehicle operators and other motorists as stopping distances increase with poor road conditions.

Private contractors providing snow clearing for parking lots shall ensure that all snow plowed on a private or public parking lot remains on the originating lot. At no time should the snow be pushed out onto a public roadway or boulevard.

Where snow cannot be plowed onto originating lot, snow must be removed to an approved dump site.

Clearing and maintaining all of our municipal roadways during a snow storm event takes time and planning to achieve the greatest benefits from our available resources. We appreciate your understanding, patience, and cooperation during this season.

Nominees Sought for Swensson, Flowerdew, and Arnason Awards Do you know an individual, youth, or a couple who improves life for others and makes a difference in the community? If so, the Township of Langley would like to know about them.

Nominations are currently being accepted for the Pete Swensson 2011 Outstanding Community Youth Award, Eric Flowerdew 2010 Volunteer of the Year Award, and the 2010 John and Muriel Arnason Award.

The Pete Swensson Award is given to a Langley student in Grade 8 - 12 who is nominated by his or her school and maintains a high scholastic effort, participates in school activities, and makes a contribution to the community through volunteer work.

The Eric Flowerdew Award recognizes a volunteer who promotes an active living lifestyle that enhances residents’ quality of life through creative, cultural, physical, or social pursuits, promotes traditional and non-traditional recreation activities, and enhances Langley’s community spirit.

Property assessments for 2011 have been mailed by BC Assessment.

The Township residential assessments, as a whole, increased by 6.55% while industrial and business assessments decreased by .51% to 1.60%. Changes in assessments for individual properties will vary from neighbourhood to neighbourhood. Some assessments increased more than 6.55%, others increased less than 6.55% and some decreased. The Township does not receive any more money when assessments increase.

Depending on the 2011 residential property assessment change, some will pay more if their assessment increased more than 6.55%, whereas others will pay less if their assessment decreased or increased by less than 6.55%. Where a residential property assessment increased by exactly 6.55%, they will only see a 3.95% increase in their 2011 property taxes, should Council approve the 3.95% proposed property tax increase.

Review your property assessment online at bcassessment.ca and compare for reasonableness against other properties in your neighbourhood. You have until January 31, 2011 to appeal the value of your assessments to British Columbia Assessment.

he ability to capture the beauty of the world around a person is easy, right?

Most people have digital cameras and computers.

Press the shutter, and voila.

Yet somehow New Brunswick photographer Freeman Patterson is one of those rare people who is able to see and capture the world around him in such a way that it stops people in their tracks.

Patterson is leading a full-day photography seminar in Langley Saturday, a guest of the Langley Camera Club.

There is still some room available for shutterbugs of any skill level, according to Kathy Neudorf, the club’s outdoor events chair.

“Those attending the seminar will be treated to Freeman’s insights on creativity, design, and inspiration as they pertain to photography,” she said.

“Freeman demonstrates these concepts through extensive use of slides, and

Dear Anne,

“I have four orange trees. This year all of them have changed their leaves from a nice, dark green to a light yellowish green. I guess there’s a deficiency. Iron?

“What can I do?”

E. Seewald, via email t does sound like an iron deficiency.

You need a container of chelated iron from a garden centre. It should be watered onto the soil, according to instructions on the label.

It takes a while to be effective, but the problem does clear up with treatment.

This problem is very common with pot-grown citrus trees.

Carol, via email igeons are a tough problem – and you need to know that, for every person who says they’ve found the answer, there’s another person who says it didn’t work for them.

Some hardware stores sell spike strips that attach to railings.

They prevent pigeons from landing.

Another possibility is a movement-triggered automatic sprinkler system with a fierce, startling, and sudden spray of water.

Enclosing your balcony with chicken wire or bird-netting would definitely work – though it would spoil your enjoyment of the balcony for a while. But once the pigeons have moved elsewhere, you could take out the barriers.

Some people claim ultra-sonic devices work well.

Plastic decoys of birds of prey (owls, etc.) are said to be useful, especially if you set them in a different spot every day.

Anne Kocherkewych, Vancouver hat is the name of your palm?

There are many kinds, and whatever treatment you give your palm may not be suitable for every type.

Some palms need sunnier conditions than others. Sun-loving palms and many houseplants get most unhappy through our dark winters, but typically recover when spring arrives.

Have you checked it over with a magnifying glass? If there are small webs, your palm could have spider mites.

Spraying twice a day with plain, cold water will control them – if you’re persistant for several weeks. You can then taper off gradually, but should continue once a week routinely to keep the mite population from increasing.

Generally, under-watering gets you into less trouble with palms than overwatering. But if the soil is shrinking away from the sides of the pot, it’s possible the palm is too dry and water is flooding away down the inner sides and not moistening the root ball.

You can combat that problem by soaking the pot and palm in a tub of water for a couple of hours.

Many palms like high humidity. It’s possible your home is too hot and dry for palms.

You could try misting daily and/or standing the pot on a pebble tray (a water-filled tray with a layer of gravel or pebbles). Humidity rises around the plant as the water evaporates.

The water needs to be topped up periodically and occasionally the stones should be washed.

Another possibility is that your palm needs more nutrition.

Lack of nitrogen can cause leaves to yellow. In the growing season, a twice-monthly feed of balanced, liquid fertilizer should help.

Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions.

lmost every household has some type of cutting board to offer a place for chopping or slicing, in order to protect kitchen counter tops. With so many to choose from, I’ll try to shed some light on the subject, by discussing pros and cons of the three main types available: glass, plastic and wood.

One of my biggest pet peeves is a glass cutting board, and I take every opportunity to advise anyone I can of the reasons.

Tempered glass cutting boards are made to offer a surface that is easily sanitized by hand or by putting them in the dishwasher, and offer a surface that will never deteriorate. However, because the cutting surface is so hard, it will dull even the finest kitchen knife faster than any other cutting board.

An attractive photo or print is often displayed under the surface of the glass, which makes them desirable to have out and ready to use, but I would recommend using them only as serving platters, and nothing else.

Plastic cutting boards, on the other hand offer a softer surface that won’t damage knives and can still be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning.

The plastic surface can also be subjected to sanitizing cleansers, like bleach, without damaging the board itself.

However, recent studies have revealed that, over time, bacteria can build up in the scores that knives create on the surface, which even sanitizing will not remove completely. When deep scores have been made in a plastic cutting board, it should be refaced.

Plastic boards are difficult to resurface; it is much easier to purchase a new one.

On Cooking

by Chef Dez

Wooden cutting boards have been thought of surfaces that hold bacteria, and many households have switched to plastic for this reason, but wood offers natural antiseptic qualities. The wood also can naturally reseal small scores from cutting.

A food grade mineral oil should be used on a regular basis to help stop the wood from drying out and cracking.

I prefer plastic cutting boards for meat or seafood. This way I can sanitize them in the dishwasher, until they get well used that is.

Wooden cutting boards offer a cutting surface for all other applications, such as fruits, vegetables, etc.

I do not own a glass cutting board.

The most unique cutting surface I have ever used is a phone book. I was invited to a “guys night” poker party at a bachelor’s apartment, and it turned into an impromptu cooking demonstration. His kitchen was not well equipped, so we sanitized the outside of his Yellow Pages and used it as a cutting board! It might be an amusing story, but I strongly advise against it.

Keeley came to the shelter with 5 kittens. Some of her kittens are still available but Keeley’s still hoping to find a new forever home too! Keeley is not fond of dogs at all and would not be appropriate in a home with them. Keeley is looking for an adult only home as she doesn’t always have patience with children.

Keeley may be able to go to a home with another cat given it be the right match.

FISHER Fisher is a 4 year old Goldendoodle who weighs about 80 lbs. Fisher loves people and gets very attached. He is a needy fellow and would love a home with lots of time for him. He is a bouncy fun dog who loves his ball. If he had his way he’d play all day. Fisher is very affectionate and would love to shower his new owner with hugs and kisses.

Amateur boxing

McDonald looks forward to rematch at Clash 6 A young Walnut Grove fighter has developed into a ring-savvy veteran.

Shawn McDonald is barely out of his teens and has already developed into an accomplished amateur boxer who is considering a venture into the pros.

However, five years ago, his ring debut at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds didn’t go so well.

McDonald was up against Sharvin Soltani, a Vancouver boxer who had a lot of gym time and was, according to McDonald’s trainer Dave Allison, “too experienced” for the then 15-year-old McDonald.

“Soltani outclassed him and the fight was stopped,” Allison recalled.

Soltani went on to win a silver medal at the Canadian championships while McDonald split his time between amateur boxing and playing basketball at Walnut Grove Secondary.

Fast-forward five years and McDonald, now 20, has evolved as a boxer, winning a COMBSPORT B.C. welterweight (147 pound) title before losing the title in a split decision.

Tonight (Friday) at the City Boxing-promoted Clash at the Cascades 6 at the Coast Hotel & Convention Centre, McDonald has a chance to settle the score.

Allison said the bout is about McDonald redeeming himself in his own mind.

“He knew he could do better and wants to get it back. All boxers have a loss or a bad performance in their past they would like to reverse. It is not about revenge, or about a personal grudge, it is just about doing and being at your best,” Allison

welterweight division.

Also, 14-year-old Matt Leclair, who attends Aldergrove Community Secondary, will be in action against 15-year-old Matt Ruff from Kitimat.

The Langley pugilists are all representing the host gym, City Boxing.

The nine-bout card gets underway at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the door or can be had at Customer Services at the Cascades Casino.

What is a cruiserweight?

Shawn McDonald hammered a punching dummy during a summer training session at City Boxing’s gym. said. “Boxing is a very individual sport and if you are not at your best, you know, and always want to reverse it. This is human nature and no sport brings out our human assets and debits as much as boxing.”

The Soltani/McDonald fight is not the main event on the card. That distinction belongs to a B.C. cruiserweight title bout that will see two Surrey boxers face each other for this vacant title.

The undefeated Aman Aujla is slated to face Mike Weise in a five-round title bout.

In another cruiserweight match, Langley prospect Vincent St. Pierre will take on

Andrew Blanco of Richmond in a rematch from their November fight.

Olympic youth bouts on the card feature four Langley boxers.

Brookswood Secondary student Mat Andreatta, 16, will fight as a lightweight.

A 16-year-old from D.W. Poppy Secondary, Hunter Meneghello, is scheduled to make his ring debut against Abbotsford’s Thomas Kippes in a heavyweight bout.

Meneghello is joining gym mate and schoolmate Dustin Oster, 16, on the card.

Oster, who will also be entering the ring for the first time, is boxing in the 147

Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, and Floyd Paterson were all heavyweight champions.

Allison said that by today’s standards these legendary boxers would be considered cruiserweights.

This is a weight division between 175 and 200 pounds.

Allison noted that Joe Louis fought at, on average, 192 pounds, Marciano at 184, and Patterson at 185.

The first undisputed cruiserweight champion was Evander Holyfield.

Clash at the Cascades 6 features a match between two of the best cruiserweight boxers in B.C. “This is a very exciting division,” Allison said. “This is what people expect when they see a heavyweight fight. Some of today’s heavyweights at 250-plus pounds are just too slow and ponderous to make for an exciting fight. These guys are around 200 pounds and can end the fight with a single shot, but are still fast enough to make the fight exciting.”

Junior lacrosse

Loss of draft leaves BCJLL governors searching for answers The midget draft was axed last October.

by Dan Olson and Troy Landreville Postmedia Network Inc.

That old adage “You never miss something until it’s gone” has proven true again.

This time, it’s the governors of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League bemoaning the loss of their midget lacrosse draft.

A four-year-old process which saw talents like Cody Bremner,

Thunder general manager Brock Rose, who was part of the brass that drafted Comeault, said he was very disappointed there wasn’t going to be a draft this season, especially since his team owned the first pick.

Olympians’ golden boy Peewees crunch competition Schramm The 12-year-old won After opening the annual Lillooet Peewee House Tournament with a closely contested win over North Okanagan, the Langley Crunch went on to crush all comers.

The Crunch went undefeated to take top spot at the Jan. 14-16 tournament.

The highlight was an 8-3 victory over 100 Mile House in the final.

Langley started off its round robin with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over North Okanagan.

The Crunch went on to demolish Ashcroft 12-0 and needed to beat Prince George in their final round robin game in order to make it into the championship final.

This one wasn’t even close as the Crunch scored early and often in a lopsided 9-1 victory.

The championship game saw Langley face 100 Mile House to see who would capture the tournament title.

The team from 100 Mile came out firing on all cylinders with early pressure, but couldn’t find the net.

Jaron Jeske then took a pass down the right wing and blasted a slap shot into

The Langley Crunch were No. 1 after winning a tournament in Lillooet last weekend. the top corner, scoring on Langley’s first shot of the game. From that point it was all Crunch as the local boys went on to win 8-3 and take home the trophy.

The Crunch included Cole Perrie, Jaron Jeske, Ben Dunlop, Liam Badgley, Jaden Ruppel, Joel Pedersen, CJ Corazzin, Adam Ryrie, Michael Boonstra, Daniel Hornick, Willem Mante, Thomas Bears, coach Dereck Ruppel, and assistant coach Colin Perrie. Absent from the tournament were Crunch players Jacob Knapp, Landon Minot, and Mitchell Young.

Justin Schramm probably could have used a pack animal to help him haul away all of the hardware he won at a swim meet in New Westminster last weekend.

The Langley Olympians Swim Club (LOSC) member swam to gold in seven events at the invitational meet, hosted by the Hyack Swim Club.

The 12-year-old Schramm was part of a large contingent of 28 LOSC swimmers, who joined a number of clubs from across the Lower Mainland at Canada Games Pool.

In addition to his seven gold medal swims,

Schramm also set a new meet record in the 200m fly. He achieved first place in the 12 & under 200m fly, 100m breaststroke, 200m backstroke, 200m IM, 100m backstroke, 100m fly, and 800m freestyle. In the process, he set a new LOSC club record in the 200m fly.

Schramm’s teammate, Joshua Kim, eight, also set a number of LOSC club records in the 100m freestyle, 400m IM, 50m freestyle and 200m breaststroke.

Kim placed second in the 12 & under 400m IM and fourth in the 400m freestyle.

Avery Martin, nine, earned his first provincial AAA qualifying time in the 400m freestyle to go along with a bronze medal. Martin also took top spot in the 12 & under 400m IM, placed fifth in 800m freestyle, and swam to sixth in the 100m backstroke.

Draft ‘makes the most sense’

McQuarrie Hunter LLP Lawyers

Q

A former employee has filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission claiming substantial damages. He says he was forced to quit because two of my former employees harassed him because of his sexual orientation (or gender, religion, age, etc.). What is my liability as employer?

A

Colin Huggett Employment Law

604.581.7001

Employers are generally liable for the wrongful acts of their employees committed in the course of their employment. Employers owe a duty to their employees both at common law and under the B.C. Human Rights Code to provide a workplace that is free from unlawful discrimination and/or harassment by co-workers, supervisors, customers, suppliers etc. Employers may be liable to employees who are the victim of abuse or harassment on the job, even if the employer had no knowledge of, and did not participate in or encourage, the wrongful behaviour. An employer may have a defence if it can show it was aware of its responsibility to its employees and took all reasonable steps to monitor and supervise the workplace and the conduct of its employees and the employer could not reasonably have been expected to prevent the wrongful conduct complained of.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Tackle chores Sunday – be safe with tools, electricity. This eve to Tuesday afternoon brings happy, flirty, friendly relationships.

Don’t be argumentative Monday. Though mid-week tempts you toward research, investments or sexual intimacy, or nudges you to make a commitment to a person or lifestyle, you’d be wise to wait. Your future will develop best if right now you are social, if you play, plan and dream. Rewards come from past efforts, not present ones. Gentle, mellow love and understanding, travel and legal success float in late Thursday night through Saturday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Legal matters might slow now to June, particularly those involving work, health or machinery. So might far travel, religious projects and higher studies – in these, “revisit old haunts.” For instance, you’ll succeed in school if you resurrect an old project or study subjects you’ve studied before.

Sunday afternoon to Tuesday brings work and health concerns. The weeks ahead reward ambition, so plunge into tasks. Relationships can be irksome midweek. Be diplomatic; don’t push your own agenda.

Secrets, depths, sexual attractions and finances – all luckily – fill Friday/Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: The weeks ahead beneficially emphasize higher learning, legal affairs, far travel, cultural involvements/rituals and gentle love. Sleep in Sunday morning. This eve to Tuesday brings romantic situations, pleasure and beauty, passion and risk. Your creative juices flow. Gambling, however, might hurt your bank account. Reject investments for now. (Until June, new investments are ill advised. Stick with those already in the works.) Work and health issues arrive late Tuesday through Thursday. Good and bad luck are mixed, so just plod ahead. Relationships excite, reward Friday/Saturday!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Secrets, depths, sexual urges, subconscious nudges, large finances, net worth, other people’s money and resources – these fill the weeks ahead. Research, look beneath surface appearances. Love vows or business agreements are one thing; commitment to share, delivering the funds, is another. Now it’s commitment time. You either get deeper, or break off. Tackle errands Sunday morning.

Home, kids and security, nature and nutrition capture your attention this eve to Tuesday. Romance has a bit of a rough ride mid-week. Still, joy exists! Tackle chores Friday/Saturday – you succeed!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The emphasis lies on relationships, relocation, contracts, negotiations, opportunities and opposition. Emotions intensify; there’s little middle ground. Love and hate swirl.

Your romantic sensors are fine-tuned, and luck flows into all communications. In short, you might fall in love now or soon, or heal a valuable, longterm bond. This week isn’t the easiest, or the hardest. Communications, travel succeed Sunday p.m. to Tuesday. Recuperate, rest mid-week. Various frictions arise, perhaps with a partner. Be diplomatic.

Romance, creativity, luck soar Thursday night to Saturday!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A time of great change is upon you. It might affect where you live. It’s lucky, and occurs now to early June. During the same period, your romantic, creative and child-oriented projects/links will tread water – that gives you the time and focus to concentrate on this change. It is the first of two steps – the second one occurs November to July 2012. That second one won’t be so much lucky as “telling,” perhaps hectic, certainly filled with determination. Make your move soon.

Invest, commit, seek sexual intimacy, change your lifestyle. Thursday night to Saturday holds clues!

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The month ahead emphasizes romance, creativity and speculative luck. Until June, you stand on the edge of momentous events, prospects and opportunities. You might marry. For the best luck, relocate, negotiate, seek agreements and contracts, interface with the public, grab opportunities, form business partnerships or alliances, or seek marriage. (Some Librans, bound in unhappiness, might divorce now. But this influence might also “cure” your marriage. Can you give it one more try?) Rest Sunday daytime. This eve to Tuesday, your energy and charisma soar. Money caution mid-week.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your workload will increase now to June. Just plod through if you have no enthusiasm. But realize this work can be the entry hall to one or two major career or business opportunities, to arrive after May, into mid-2012. For the next six years, your money fortunes are on an extended rise!

But it starts with work. Tamp down any domestic friction to late February: be gentle, kind. Pride wrecks love. Lie low, rest early week. Your energy surges back Tuesday night through Thursday. Thursday night to Saturday brings the first hint of your coming money luck. Get frequent rest these weeks.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Love, romance, creative projects, speculation, sports, risks, selfexpression, dealings with children – these meet great luck and opportunity now to June. The month ahead features talk, travel, curiosity – so get curious!

Travel and casual conversations can – no, will – lead to good things, romance among them! Uphold your reputation early Sunday. This eve to Tuesday brings social delights, flirtations and wish fulfilment! Retreat, rest and contemplate future obstacles mid-week. Your energy and charisma climb Thursday night to Saturday – start projects, ask favours, see and be seen.

Jan. 23 - Jan. 20 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The weeks ahead emphasize money, earnings, buying/selling, possessions, sensual attractions and memory.

Accept surface appearances; they will tend to be true, and questioning will “sour the atmosphere.”

Lots of money might come! But be self-disciplined: spending can get out of control. Now to June, you are powerfully favoured to purchase (and sell) real estate, to heal family issues, to find security, and to end limiting situations, projects and conditions. (You might see and chuck these luckily Friday/Saturday.)

February is one of the best months to combine money and property.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness soar for the next few weeks. Start important projects, ask favours, seek permission, impress bosses, colleagues. Your determination and sex appeal (which are always linked) are unusually high now through February. Sunday morning has a mysterious cast,but this eve toTuesday brings wisdom, gentle love and understanding. Be ambitious midweek, but be diplomatic. You might push just because you have extra energy, but others could feel you’re abrasive. Wishes come true Friday/Saturday – expect social joys, entertainment, flirtation, happiness!

Pisces Feb.19-March 20: Retreat for a while.Gather your energies and your thoughts. Rest, contemplate, let the world go by. Be charitable, spiritual. The few weeks ahead favour dealing with government, taxes, institutions and large corporations. Study a money plan, rework it until it’s perfect. Soon – by March at the latest – money will start flowing your way, perhaps a huge pile of money. Students could win scholarships, consultants might land a big client, etc.

But now is preparation time. Avoid belligerent people, unsavoury places. Sunday to Tuesday is mysterious.

Be ambitious Friday/Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Dear SwarmJam

ON

SUZUKI

I wanted to instantly express my thanks for your advice. I thought I knew a lot about advertising, as I own Imageworks, a Graphic Design and Web Design Studio. I am often correct in my assessments... but you proved that I still have more to learn! I signed up Magic Clean, a pressure washing and window cleaning provider, for SwarmJam; I thought the ad should run in late March or April. You assured me it would work now in early January... even though it’s cold and quite miserable outside! I was hesitant about running it now but you assured me it would WORK and BOY, oh BOY you were right!

SX4 HATCHBACKS 15 AVAILABLE!

WE REALLY DELIVER

Call us with your requirements:

604-534-8641

THE AD APPEARED TODAY!

• By 7 a.m. we had 3 people buy. Who gets up that early to buy?

• At 11 a.m. we had 12 new clients • At 6 p.m. we had 24 buyers • WHOOPS... another just signed up as I am typing! That’s 25 and growing • WHOOPS... 3 more signed up. That’s 28 now!
