A scammer managed to get more than $35,000 from a bank card owned by an Ontario man.

The suspect walked into a Langley Bank of Montreal on Dec. 30, 2015, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.

He claimed to be the owner of a certain bank account, visiting from Ontario.

The scammer managed to get the bank to issue him a new debit card.

He immediately withdrew $5,000 US on the account.

The card was then used at a

number of businesses, racking up bills of more than $30,000, Largy said.

Langley RCMP have released a photo of a man sus-pected of receiving the debit card at the bank.

• Police are also looking for a man who stole a tablet from a cab after being picked up at the Cascades Casino.

The suspect is Caucasian, with a medium build, dark coloured short hair, and was wearing a black

leather jacket, grey pants, and black shoes.

Anyone with information on these incidents can call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200, or to remain anonymous, contact CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or visit www.solve-crime.ca or www.facebook.com/metro-vancouvercrimestop-pers, or text BCTIP and your message to CRIMES (274637).

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

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

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

Along with classic cars, a number of steam powered vehi-cles will be on hand.

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

The event is aptly named Celebrating the Era of Steam. All steam powered entries are eligible for free registration,

but steam vehicle exhibitors must register early to ensure adequate space.

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

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

Tamara Taggertkeynote speaker

It was his second race for a City council seat.MATTHEW [email protected]

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

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

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

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

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

Sitting councillors and some

of Pachal’s fellow candi-dates dropped by at the Best Western conference room where Pachal was stationed to congratulate him.

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

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

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

total in the six-person race in 2014.

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

He was gratified to win decisively in the byelection.

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

There were nine candidates running in the byelection.

The future pool won’t be completely enclosed.

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

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

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

“The pool at the Aldergrove

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

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

On Monday, following a presentation from Township

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

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

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

Missing man last seen in North LangleyPolice are looking for a man who vanished earlier this month.

MATTHEW [email protected]

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

Jeffrey Frank Kooistra, 50, was last seen Feb. 19 when he left his North Langley workplace, said Cpl. Holly Largy, a spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.

Kooistra is thought to have taken a bus from Langley to the area of 152nd Street and Fraser Highway. He then called home at about 4 p.m., and was expected to arrive in about half an hour.

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

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

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

While most B.C. drivers are honest when it comes to making insurance claims, there are a few that are hurting things for the rest of us in the province.

Industry studies estimate that about 10 to 20 per cent of all insurance claims contain an element of fraud or exaggeration. Applying those estimates here means fraud is costing us up to $600 million per year, or more than $100 annually on every auto insurance policy.

Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes.

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

Fraudulent claimstake a toll onB.C. drivers

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

Other types of fraud are less obvious. Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It’s not unheard of for people to embellish their claim by including vehicle damage unrelated to the crash, or to claim they can’t work when they’re actually back on the job. These tactics may not make the news, but the costs add up and come out of all of our pockets – we all end up paying for those who cheat the system.

ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims les. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims. They’re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that ags patterns and predictors of fraud.

By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates.

Fraud. It cheats us all.

Huge crowds turned out for the centre’s official unveiling.HEATHER [email protected]

The Quino family were excit-ed to try out all the new amen-ities at the Timms Community Centre.

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

The family has lived in Langley for about a decade. They used the Timms cen-tre when it was temporar-ily moved to the Eastleigh Crescent site as well as mak-ing use of the City’s outdoor amenities such as Douglas and Linwood Parks, and walking trails to keep active.

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

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

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

facility. The public could take part in free demonstrations and classes such as those in the spin and weight rooms, as well as see firsthand what amenities the new Timms offers.

The City marked the occasion with cake and special souvenir programs produced in conjunction with the Langley Advance.

In the gym, the public was able to see the items being put into a special visible time capsule in the atrium as well as the Brian Croft painting of the Timms House which ori-ginally stood on the property. For Croft, the painting was a chance to work in watercolours which he hadn’t done for a few years.

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

Croft does extensive research on his historical paintings. He noted that the one thing he often has trouble finding out is

the colour of an old building such as Timms House.

The painting included the family’s greenhouses. Croft noted that Timms was one of the biggest produce and flower

suppliers around, shipping stock across the country. Timms also pro-

vided the flowers for the 1939 Royal visit of the King George and Queen Elizabeth.

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

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

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

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

A plan for 16th Avenue calls for signals and pullout bays for the RCMP.MATTHEW [email protected]

It will be at least a month before Langley Township council again consid-ers a plan to improve safety along busy 16th Avenue.

Councillor Charlie Fox put forward a motion Monday calling for traffic signals at six intersections and the cre-ation of four pull-out bays where police could enforce traffic and truck safety.

Fox called for the lights to be linked with “green wave” technology, which synchronizes lights to allow for a

smoother flow of traffic.“Nothing’s been done on 16th

Avenue in terms of upgrades for the last two years,” Fox said.

He said area residents frequently con-tact him about safety issues.

Crashes remain frequent along 16th, which is a commuter route in the middle of a mostly rural part of South Langley. With changes to traffic pat-terns in Abbotsford, even more traffic

could use the two-lane road.“I’m concerned about our residents

that live south or north of 16th and have to cross it on a regular basis,” Fox said.

Council voted six to two to defer the vote until after a staff presentation on costs of the signals and a TransLink report on the road. It would cost about $2 million, Fox estimated.

TRAFFIC SAFETY

Fox calls for 16th Ave safety upgrade

OUR VIEW

Disabled ill-served by B.C.

The most recent increase to the gov-ernment’s disability allowance was touted as if the provincial

government was passing out gold bars.

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

Then the province decided to compound its stinginess by yank-ing back some of the money.

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

These allowances are intended for people who, by definition, may have great difficulty find-ing work, and an even greater challenge finding housing. Transportation is astonishingly difficult. For those with physical disabilities, a cracked sidewalk or poorly built crosswalk can be insurmountable obstacles. And transit, while better than a generation ago, does not provide anything like full mobility, espe-cially with the slow death by a thousand cuts being inflicted on HandyDart.

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

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

– M.C.

L ater this year or some-time in 2017, marijuana is likely to become legal in Canada. It was one of

the Liberals’ promises during the election, and if they don’t keep it Ottawa will no doubt find a horde of cranky stoners standing in front of Parliament, under a cloud of fury (and also a cloud of pot smoke).

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

I don’t know why I’ve never tried pot. Maybe it was the highly effective anti-drug talk I was given when I was young. (Getting a recovering crack addict to talk in blunt terms about almost dying is effective on most eight-year-olds.) Maybe it was because I and my friends were boring nerds – our drug of choice was caffeine and role playing game sessions.

Part of it was that I distrust any product produced by asso-ciates of the Hells Angels in mildew-infested rental housing. I mean, it’s not as if illegal pot is regularly inspected to ensure it’s free of pesticides,

herbicides, fungi, spider eggs, and other random adulterants. You can’t call the Ministry of Agriculture to complain if you think that “organic” pot you got from your friend’s friend is actually coated with Roundup.

But now, legal pot is on the horizon. And soon you will be able to get organ-ic pot, and govern-ment-inspected pot, and pot with rela-tively well known dosages in measured quantities, bought from a store and not some guy who smells like the car-peting in the back of a ’78 Chevy van.

So I wondered… should I try some?

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

And here my idea started run-ning into the rocks of reality.

I wouldn’t want to take any on a work night, of course. I get up early, and I’m fuzzy enough in the mornings when I’m crammed full of caffeine. I don’t know how I’d react to pot, so I’d rather not try to slog

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

So that would leave the week-ends. Saturday or Sunday.

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

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

And I wouldn’t want any pot after I got back from a ride… I’ve got bathrooms to clean, and floors to mop. And then there are groceries to buy, errands to run – I

need to be able to drive for most of my weekend!

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

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

I just don’t know when they find the time for their hobby. I’m not going to have enough until I retire.

Letter writer Brent Hoag wrote about meeting CJ, a young man living on Langley streets. Readers weigh in:Tammy Post: Very true..very positive story... but alas.. there are ones that are abusive to many that have tried to help… it’s hard to help when you’ve been insulted and swore at… good that he tried and succeeded… its a positive in this crazy world.

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

Dear Editor,Regarding Light rail fast

as Skytrain [Feb. 18 Letters, Langley Advance]:

I read this letter and say that the writer is missing the bigger picture here.

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

This will cause big delays for emergency vehicles from get-

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

This would never happen with Skytrain,

It is an above ground system so it does not interfere with the exciting road system, not delaying any traffic.

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

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

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

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

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

You wouldn’t have this prob-lem with SkyTrain.

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

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

Alex Hannig, Langley City

SkyTrain, not LRT, best for Langley

Dear Editor,Regarding doctor

assisted dying, approv-al of euthanasia or “mercy killing” need not be, should not be, and is not a done deal.

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

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

A palliative care doc-

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

In September 2015, British parliamentar-ians voted 330-118 against a bill that would have enlisted doctors to help kill sui-cidal patients.

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

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

Ginny VanderHorst, Langley City

Doctors trained to heal, not kill patients

Dear Editor,The provincial government

recently announced seemingly arbi-trary and illegal changes to the dis-ability bus pass program.

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

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

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

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

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

To do otherwise is seemingly vio-lating contract law.

Finally, no one is above the rule of law.

Committed to safety since 1953.

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

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

• A commitment to offset any greenhouse gas emissions resulting from construction.• An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.• An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.• Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fi sh-inhabited rivers including

the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.• Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three

BC Class A parks.• Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops

and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

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 signifi cant changes to the Project.

“I feel strongly that by listening to people, we are making better project decisions.” - Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

The first 23 dogs seized from an alleged puppy mill in Langley’s Glen Valley area are now avail-able for adoption from the SPCA.

A total of 66 animals were seized from the property on Feb. 4. The SPCA said some of the animals had serious medical issues, including broken bones, missing ears or eyes, infections, abscesses, and matted and feces-caked fur.

They were being kept in small, stacked cages in dark and unheated build-ings, according to Marcie Moriarty, the chief preven-tion and enforcement offi-cer for the BC SPCA.

The 23 dogs up for adoption include eight adult wheaton terriers, three adult Old English sheepdogs, three adult Portugese water dogs, an adult Berenese mountain dog, an adult standard poodle and five 11-week-

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

Due to overwhelming interest, the SPCA organ-ized three information ses-sions March 2 for anyone interested in applying to adopt. Attendance at one of the sessions were man-datory for anyone apply-ing, due to the emotional needs of the dogs.

Seized dogs rehomed

The home of a single mom and her children will undergo major renovations in May.

TROY [email protected]

Single mom Sarah Scarrow can’t do anything more than what she’s already

doing to support her family of three adopted children.

But help is on the way.This May, the team from

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

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

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

Dozens of local business-es also lend their support and supplies to the pro-gram.

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

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

was a definite need for this house.”

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

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

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

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

Sarah told the Langley Advance the front window came unsealed and the win-dow track has disintegrat-ed, the kitchen cupboards are in “real rough shape,”

there are areas where dry-wall needs repair, and there is no ceiling downstairs.

“The list goes on and on,” Sarah said.

As a single mom, finances can be a challenge, Sarah said.

She explained that there is “an exhaustion” that sets in from working and trying to take care of her house and family.

“My young-est is full of energy and always wants to be active,” she said, but was quick to point out, “my kids are the best, amazing children. I am blessed.”

Sarah thanked her two good friends, Tara and Donna, for nominating her.

“They both have been in my house and know my heart was for a fixed up home, and that I didn’t know how to go about repairing it [the house] or paying for repairs,” Sarah said.

Sarah was shocked when she found out that she and her family were chosen as the 2016 EHR recipients.

“[I was a] little over-whelmed with excitement and immediately praised God,” Sarah said.

“We will feel more com-fortable having company over now. We have always been very thankful to the

Lord that we have a home but now it will be fixed up. Financially it will help a great deal and get us on the right track.”

Sarah admits not knowing much about the program but her kids had mentioned it to her in the past.

Next year, Sarah said she and her kids would love to volunteer with EHR.

“We believe in paying it forward,” she said.

With a recipient selected, the work begins in recruit-ing volunteers and busi-nesses to help out.

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

Volunteers or businesses who would like to lend their skills and services from May 8 to 23 can call Dauncey at 778-549-3896 or email [email protected].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Appointment

Dear Anne,I am in a seniors

residence with a very large patio. There is talk of doing container gardening here. But no one really knows how to create this.

Olga Sorenson, Vancouver

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

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

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

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

It’s essential all your tubs have drainage holes in the bottom. A piece of landscape

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

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

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

This allows water to cascade down and out of the bottom. Meanwhile, the dry soil in the centre stays dry. If this happens, dig very small holes in the soil surface where water can pool. Fill them frequently until the soil is moist throughout.

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

Once the contain-ers are in place, you can begin loading them with topsoil from garden centres. Check whether fertil-izer is already added. Leafy vegetables like high-nitrogen fertilizer.

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

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

I learned from my parents “Never pick rhubarb in a month with an ‘R’ in it.” This is quite different than your rule about pick-ing until early June. Does it develop too much oxalic acid after that?

Pat Pepperman, e-mail

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

But here I was told rhubarb develops higher levels of oxalic acid in summer. Our summers are hotter. That would make a difference to rhubarb.

A lot of garden-ing practice can be adjusted by what a person does culturally. I’m sure if you water rhubarb diligently while picking it, the moisture level in the stalks will be higher and oxalic acid lower.

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

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

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

ARTS BRIEFS

Enjoying music and marriage

RONDA [email protected]

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

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

Local graphic design boutique Flying Horse Design Studio is sup-porting the exhibit which

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

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

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

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

the TWU students. “I’ve been working with

[SAMC] since last year,” she said.

The coming exhibition touches on themes of social practices; how people think about them and interpret them, through paintings, drawings, and 3D art pieces.

In addition to collection of work to be displayed, there will be the solo exhibitions of two TWU honours stu-dents.

Langley’s Darby Arens will have Hats of Possibility pre-sented.

This display of more than 150 paper hats, each adorned with a handwritten childhood dream, is intended to reconnect the viewer with imagination.

Another Langley resident, Gabrielle Shallahamer incor-porates keys collected from hotels around the world into a piece on understanding signs.

The opening reception is at 6:30 p.m. on March 31. Admission to the TWU exhibit at the Langley Centennial Museum at 9135 King St. is free.

The Langley Rivermen will have their hands full when they take on Wenatchee in a best-of-seven series.TROY [email protected]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“I like the way we match up

with them,” Henderson said. Led by their leading scorer,

centre Brendan Harris, the swift-skating Wild have four balanced lines, with 10 players reaching double digit numbers in goals.

Wild head coach Bliss Little said his team will look to stifle the Rivermen’s ability to get the puck out of their own zone.

“We will need to be good on the forecheck to have a chance to be successful,” Little said.“We are a team that has to pressure all over the ice to be successful in a long series.”

“They are a good skating hockey club, with four lines that can contribute,” Henderson said of the Wild. “They play a fast game – that’s the biggest thing.”

The Rivermen are led by their top scorer Matthew Graham, who tallied 24

goals and 66 points during the regular season.

“We have complete con-fidence that we’ll be able to beat them; we’ve had some success over the past few games,” said Graham, a native of Bedford, NS. “We’ve shown them we’re a team to be reckoned with. If we play our style, then I think we’ll have them on their heels.”

Graham has plenty of

offensive support, with fellow forwards Max Kaufman, Justin Fregona, Torrin White, and Matty Saharchuk all eclipsing the 20-goal plateau this season.

Henderson said this, along with the Rivermen’s pen-chant for physical play,

should make them a tough out versus the Wild.

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

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

In goal, the Rivermen have split duties between Bo Didur (15-16, two shutouts, 2.99 goals against average) and Nickolas Trenciansky (16-9-2, two shut-outs, 3.10 GAA).

Games one and two are this Saturday and Sunday at the Toyota Town

Center in Wenatchee, Wash. Games four and five are

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

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

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

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

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

Rivermen’s playoff mission: tame Wild

Langley Advance files

Langley Rivermen leading scorer Matthew Graham, pictured in action against the Cowichan Valley Capitals earlier this season, believes the ’Men have what it takes to defeat the Wenatchee Wild in the opening round of the B.C. Hockey League playoffs.

TROY [email protected]

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

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

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

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

In earlier B.C. tournament action, the Gators reeled off wins over Burnaby South (68-51), Steveston-London (55-53), and, in their opener, St. Thomas More Collegiate (73-53).

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

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

Adults know when they are beginning to experi-ence trouble with their vision. In such instances, men and women will book appointments with

their eye doctors to determine what’s causing their problems. But whether it’s a fear or eyeglasses or sim-ply feeling their symptoms are normal, kids might be hesitant to tell their parents about any vision problems they’re having.

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

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

• Reading habits: Vision problems may be most no-ticeable when kids are reading. As youngsters learn to read, they might use their fingers to keep their place while they figure out the pronunciation of certain words. But kids eventually grow out of that habit. Kids who are still doing so long after they have learned to read may be having trouble seeing words on the page. In addition, kids who pull their reading materi-als very close to their eyes may be struggling to see the words.

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

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

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

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

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

New parents face a host of chal-lenges upon bring their newborn sons and daughters home, not

the least of which is childproofing their homes so the newest additions to their families are safe and sound. The strat-egies moms and dads employ when childproofing their homes will change as youngsters grow older and mure cu-rious, but the following are a few tips to get parents started.

• Install safety latches and locks on cabi-nets and drawers. Curiosity might start to take over at the moment infants learn to crawl, so new parents should install safety latches and locks on all cabinets and drawers in their homes. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission notes that such latches and locks can prevent access to a host of potentially harmful items, such as medications, cleaning prod-ucts, knives, and other sharp objects.

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

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

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

Infants, toddlers and young children are vulnerable to injury around the house. Parents can reduce that injury risk by taking several steps to childproof their homes.

kids and giving

How to raise kids who GROW UP GIVINGThe message

of giving has reached new

levels in recent years.

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

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

ever, with millions tak-ing part in exercises such as the Ice Bucket Challenge and other

ventures meant to raise aware-

ness for char-itable caus-es.

Charitable giving is a

family tradition in many house-

holds. Many parents find that the earlier they introduce their children to charita-ble giving and vol-unteering, the more likely their kids are to embrace these ef-forts, both immedi-

ately and into adult-hood. Parents can impart lessons to their youngsters about the importance of giving during the end of the year, when many char-ities raise their pub-lic profiles, or when newsworthy events, such as devastating storms, draw attention to the less fortunate.

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

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

Recognizing that they can make a big change is a very em-powering discovery for kids.

Generosity is something children can learn at an

early age and continue into

adulthood

Here’s how parents can foster a love of giving.• Choose age-appropriate tasks. Young chil-

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

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

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

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

• Talk about giving at dinner. Make philan-thropy a regular part of family conversa-tion. Discuss the plight of the less fortu-nate with your children, focusing on the value of volunteering and helping others.

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

summer fun

Many families spend winter figuring out how to chase away cabin fever and endure frigid tem-peratures until spring and summer mercifully

return. Parents thinking ahead to swimming pools and days lounging on the beach can put their daydreams to practical use by planning ahead for their youngsters’ summer vacations.Youth recreational programs and summer camps can bridge the gap in care between the end of school and the day when classes resume. Due in part to high de-mand, parents who want to place their kids in summer rec programs or sum-mer camps should being vetting such programs and camps well in advance of summer. The following are a handful of tips for moms and dads who want their kids to have fun and fulfilling summers.• Ask for recommendations. Speak

with fellow parents and trusted friends about where they send their children. Personal recommendations can be very helpful, providing firsthand in-sight into a particular camp or pro-gram. Schedule appointments to visit camps that fall within your budget. Take your son or daughter along so he or she can get a sense of what camp will be like.

• Explore all options. Camps come in more flavors

than ever be-fore. Certain camps may be f a i t h - b a s e d ministries while others may focus on particular sports. Band camps and art camps may appeal to creative kids. Also, there are plenty of general-inter-est camps that offer various activities

without narrowing in on any particular one. Parents may need to choose between a sleepaway camp or day camps, depending on which camp experience they want for their children.• Inquire about camp sched-

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

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

expensive than those of-fered by private compa-nies. Day camps typically cost less than those that provide room and board. Find out if a particular organization subsidizes a portion of camp costs. Scouting programs often have a dedicated camp

and may offer affordable op-tions for scouts. Martial arts schools and dance cen-ters frequent-ly offer camp schedules.If camp seems out of reach, look into lo-cal summer re c re a t i o n

programs at parks or schools. Such programs may not be as extensive as those offered by camps, but they can quell kids’ boredom and keep children occupied during the day.In addition to camp, remember to plan for some free days so children can just enjoy some downtime. Such days can break up the monotony of a routine and pro-vide kids and families time to relax together.Summer recreation may be far off, but it is never too early to start making summer plans, including finding camps and other activities for kids.

PARSONS, Wayde ManleyFebruary 7th, 1946 - February 10th, 2016

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

Wayde is predeceased by his parents, sister Mavis and his eldest son Warren. Growing up Wayde lived

all over Alberta and B.C. In 1967 Wayde and his wife Linda settled down in Surrey, B.C. to start a family. Two sons and 3 years later he purchased the first of many gravel trucks. In 1970 they moved to Langley and he started his own trucking business. Five years later daughter Jennifer was born. Although trucking was his main passion he was also involved in the restaurant and night club business. Purchasing Langley's own "Country Palace" in 1979 and renaming it "Jennifer's Cabaret" after his only daughter.

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

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

Never forgotten, always in our hearts. A Celebration of Life will be held on
