Bruce Halverson was walking a heavi-ly-laden bicycle out of the woods next to McLeod Athletic Park in Langley Township on the morning of Jan. 12 when he met a Times reporter.

Halverson had just been evicted from his encampment in the trees by police and Township crews who told him to pack up his possessions and leave.

“They only gave me an hour to get all my stuff out,” he said.

Halverson said he had to leave his tent and a second bike behind.

“Basically, all my food, everything else is gone,” Halverson said.

By his estimate, the latest eviction marks the “fourth or fi fth time” in two years that he’s been ordered to leave that location.

Each time, he said, he and the other peo-ple living in the woods have eventually moved back.

“Basically all they’re doing is shuffl ing (us),” Halverson said.

“Why don’t they just fi nd a place some-where where we can stay? Maybe charge us $100 a month.”

Farther into the woods, on the Arbour Ribbon Trail that winds through the trees behind the McLeod Park baseball diamond, two Township trucks and a backhoe could be seen cleaning out one of three illegal encampments.

Civic workers were using wheelbarrows to bring garbage out, piling everything from discarded paper cups and tarps to a baby carriage in backs of the trucks.

Bill Storie, Township Manager of Bylaws, said the single day of cleaning up cost $2,400.

“We have ongoing issues with encamp-ments,” Storie told the Times.

“They just move and come back.”

The woods behind McLeod Park aren’t the only sites where the Township and the homeless are engaged in a continual process of closing homeless camps, followed by the return of the campers and more evictions.

Storie said there are a number of other known locations.

Some are on private property, which complicates enforcement because it is technically up to the owners to evict the squatters.

Township bylaw enforcement

will act to clean up homeless en-campments when they spot them or if complaints are received, Sto-rie said.

“Unfortunately, it’s taking up more and more staff time.”

Late last year, the Supreme Court overturned an Abbotsford ban on homeless encampments, ruling that homeless people in that city have a right to sleep overnight in public spaces if there isn’t any-where else for them to go.

They can temporarily erect shel-ters or tents, but they must take them down in the morning, BC Su-

preme Court Justice Christopher Hinkson ruled.

The ruling may have implica-tions for Langley Township, which bans people from being in parks between dusk and dawn.

Township mayor Jack Froese said municipal staff are reviewing the Abbotsford case.

Unlike Abbotsford, Froese notes, the Langleys do offer a place for homeless people to go; the Gate-way of Hope shelter operated by the Salvation Army on the Langley Bypass, which has room for up to 22 men and 10 women in its emer-

gency shelter and operates several other programs to help the home-less.

“We’re kind of a standout from other municipalities (in that re-spect),” Froese said.

The mayor said homelessness is a “very complex situation” that municipal authorities only have limited power to deal with.

“We’re dealing with mental health issues, we’re dealing with drug addiction,” Froese said.

“There’s no one simple magic bullet answer.”

Local authorities can and do of-

fer to help homeless people, but if they refuse, they can’t be com-pelled to stop living in the woods, the mayor said.

“It’s not illegal to be homeless” Froese said.

As for Halverson’s suggestion the Township might create a place where the homeless can camp legally, Froese gave a neutral re-sponse, saying the idea would be passed on to the staff who are re-viewing the Abbotsford case, but he wasn’t taking a position for or against.

Wood fi replace owners who smoke up the neighbourhood may be in for a fi ght with Metro Vancouver.

Air quality planners at the regional dis-trict will propose to gradually restrict wood burning in the region to reduce the health hazard posed by fi ne particulate.

The move is expected to rekindle a con-tentious debate that pits fi replace fans’ right to burn against neighbours’ right to breathe.

“The problem of wood smoke is wide-spread throughout the region,” Metro air quality and environment director Roger Quan said.

Metro gets 75 to 100 complaints a year about wood smoke polluting residential ar-eas and offi cials think it offends many more people who either don’t know where to complain or are reluctant to tattle on their neighbours.

“The wildfi res in the summer were hope-fully an eye opener for people to realize the kinds of smoky conditions that we saw in July are happening on a nightly basis in some neighbourhoods in the region.”

Details of the potential regulations ha-ven’t been released — and they would re-quire approval of the regional district board — but Quan said Metro is looking closely at the approach taken by Montreal.

Homeowners there were ordered last year to declare their wood-burning appliances or potentially face fi nes. They then have three years to upgrade their fi replaces and stoves, if necessary, to meet a tough new emissions limit of 2.5 grams of fi ne particulate per hour.

“Our proposed approach would also be to put in some sort of performance stan-dard that you must meet,” Quan said of the pending regulations, which could soon come to Metro’s climate action committee.

“It’s not going to ban wood-burning devices entirely.”

The 2.5-gram limit was chosen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and if adopted by Metro would still allow certifi ed wood stoves with low emissions.

But unmodifi ed fi replaces — which release 20 to 40 times more particulate than that stan-dard — would be the fi rst in the crosshairs of Metro regulators, followed by less effi -cient stoves.

“Fireplaces are particularly high particu-late emitters,” Quan said. “There’s no con-trols whatsoever. And besides the health

impacts, it is not an effi cient way to heat your home.”

Quan knows Metro will face resistance from the many res-idents who are “quite fond of burning wood” for the nostalgic ambiance of a crackling fi re.

So the phased approach would include not just the threat of fi nancial penalties for violators who keep using ineffi cient wood

units, but incentives to help with the costs to upgrade or remove them.

The B.C. government already offers $250 through a provincial wood stove exchange program to upgrade to natural gas or clean-er burning wood models and Metro could supplement that further.

The regional district has already used a similar carrot-and-stick system of signif-icant penalty fees coupled with upgrade incentives to persuade diesel equipment operators to clean up or retire their dirtiest engines.

That’s thought to be one of the reasons diesel particulate has declined as a share of total particulate in the region.

Wood smoke levels in Metro have been relatively constant, with population growth offsetting the ongoing replacement of some fi replaces.

But because diesel and other particulate sources are down, wood stoves and fi replac-es are now estimated to make up nearly 25 per cent of fi ne particulate in the region, up from 16 per cent in 2012.

Planners also believe wood smoke expo-sure is particularly high because the smoky chimneys are often in dense urban neigh-bourhoods close to many residents.

Quan envisions consistent enforcement of the new rules, rather than a system that only responds to complaints.

The regional district has been unable to enforce existing air quality laws against fi replace owners because it’s hard to prove a specifi c home is responsible for localized pollution without a search warrant.

Metro offi cials pursued broad wood smoke regulations once before only to have region-al politicians reject their proposal in 2011.

Most new fi replaces being installed are natural gas or electric rather than wood, but Metro staff are also contemplating whether to recommend building code and municipal bylaws to ban wood ones entirely.

Local activist Nathan Pachal has an-nounced he is once again vying for a seat on Langley City council.

After losing by just 71 votes in the 2014 election, Pachal is confi dent his “simple solutions for a better Langley” will reso-nate with voters in the February byelec-tion.

A longtime activist for better transit and park systems, Pachal founded the non-profi t organization South Fraser OnTrax, co-founded the HUB Cycling Langley Committee, has been involved with the Rail for the Valley campaign to bring back interurban train service.

And whenever politics go awry in the Langleys, he is quick to document them on his South of the Fraser Blog.

“My dad was an advocate for what he believed in and was very much engaged in public policy, and I believe I got some of that from him,” Pachal said.

“If you see something you want to change, then you should work towards changing it rather than sitting on your laurels, as it were.”

When it comes to the City of Langley, which Pachal has called home since landing his fi rst broadcast technologist job at Joytv 10 years ago, his largest con-cerns are safety, health and prosperity.

To start, he believes that investing in infrastructure to improve safety will “en-hance the quality of the public realm.”

“A report came out from Colliers Inter-national looking at how you could draw light industrial businesses in some of the areas where there could be some re-newal, and the thing that it actually said was that the lack of good public realm — like sidewalks and proper lighting — was one of the reasons discouraging businesses from locating here,” Pachal explained.

“And it makes sense, because people want to locate in a place where there’s a sense of pride, where there’s a sense of ownership.

“When you see graffi ti and things bro-ken, that sends a signal that this is not really a great place. So when you tackle those things early, you tell the criminal element that this is a community where people care and they are going to stop their behaviour.”

This also ties in with another of Pachal’s passions — supporting down-town businesses.

“Local businesses really are at the heart of our community, and if you see the signs when you’re walking down-town — and they’re true — when you spend money and you invest in local businesses, that money gets returned to the community,” he said.

Pachal says it’s important to support groups such as the Downtown Langley Business Association, which is encour-aging positive activities in the down-town core through programs like the McBurney Plaza Summer Series.

But it’s not only the downtown core that needs added attention. The City’s parks do as well, Pachal said.

“The Nicomekl Floodplain transvers-es the whole community, it practical-ly touches everyone’s home. It’s a real gem, but I think if you talk to anyone, they’ll say there’s been some challenges in there lately,” he said.

These include homeless people taking up residence, garbage that’s been col-lected there as a result, discarded nee-dles in the playground, and a general fear people have going into that area, Pachal said.

“In order to make that a park for every-one in the community, we need to start focusing our resources on cleaning that up. And it’s not more police or anything

like that, because police are extremely expensive. It’s looking at using our ex-isting City resources more effectively.

“We need to start bringing people back in to the fl oodplain to discover it as their own and really build that sense of com-munity.

“I think that’s the goal through this whole process, to really set the founda-tion for people to feel ownership in their community and feel pride in their com-munity, and really feel safe in their com-munity — and that’s why I’m running.”

And for those who think the tender age of 32 is too young for politics, “I’ve been involved in Langley politics for a decade now, so I would say a decade of experience in Langley is a good amount of time,” Pachal said.

“What I think is really important is that people who are running should be running in the city in which they live, because you have a vested interest in your community,” he added.

“For me, I’m a proud City resident.”

Editor’s note: Over the next several issues of the Times, we will profi le each candidate in the City of Langley byelection.

However, profi les of all candidates who have announced their intent to run can now be viewed at langleytimes.com.

Nathan Pachal has announced he will seek election to Langley City Council in the Feb. 27 byelection to fi ll the seat previously held by Dave Hall, who passed away Jan. 4.

Langley actor Jacob Tremblay melted hearts at the Critics’ Choice Awards in Santa Monica, Calif., Sunday night as he accepted his Best Young Actor award with an endearing speech.

“This is super cool,” the nine-year-old said as the crowd erupted in laughter.

“This is the best day of my life. I fi rst want to say thank you to all the critics who voted for me. It must be a super hard vote because of all the other great actors in this category.”

Jacob, a student at Lynn Fripps Elementary School, won the award for his performance as fi ve-year-old Jack in the fi lm Room, a dramatic story about a mother and son’s escape from cap-tivity.

His co-star, Brie Larson, also took home the Best Actress award for her role playing Jacob’s on-screen mother.

In Jacob’s speech, which he gave standing atop a black box on the stage, he thanked “Team Room” and his parents for their support.

“I think that us working together made this movie come true,” he said.

“This award doesn’t go to just me for that, it goes to all of you guys as well. I also want to thank my parents (Jason and Christina), and I love them very much.”

Jacob has also played roles in The Smurfs 2 (2013) and Before I Wake (2015).

His two sisters, Emma and Erica, are actresses as well. Jacob says he already has a spot at home picked out for his award.

“Right on the shelf right beside my Millennium Falcon,” he said.

According to a video posted on his Instagram account, Jacob celebrated his win by dancing to Uptown Funk at an after party.

Both the video and Jacob’s speech can be viewed online at langleytimes.com.

Willoughby Junction Preschool is closing its doors in the middle of the school year.

The preschool was ‘bleeding’ money, which the non-profi t Langley Child Development Centre could no longer afford, said Dan Collins, inter-im executive director of LCDC. It will close at the end of the month.

“We lost $60,000 last year. It’s an issue of fi -nances and nothing more,” said Collins. “We know the parents and the kids loved it. This was a diffi cult decision to come to.”

Parent Cam Padda said the closure leaves all the children in the preschool with nowhere to go in the middle of the school year. Parents had hoped it could stay open until June.

“This is not easy on the kids. Why did they even let us enrol this year?” Padda asked.

Padda moved from Surrey to Willoughby and once he and his wife met with the teachers at Willoughby Junction Preschool, he knew it was the perfect place for his kids.

“These are exceptional teachers,” Padda said. “We have offered to fundraise or pay more to

keep it going until June but so far have heard ‘no.’”

Collins recognizes the timing isn’t great and it is diffi cult to get into another preschool mid year.

“We have offered two months in funding and assistance to connect parents with other loca-tions,” he said.

The preschool, which runs inside the new Ear-ly Years Centre at Willoughby Elementary, was

only allowed 17 spots under government rules. But even then, they were never full.

The preschool program runs only two hours each day.

“The trend is preschool programs are now em-bedded into daycare centres because most (fam-ilies) in Willoughby have both parents working, which means they can’t do a traditional pre-school,” said Collins. “But having said that, it is most regrettable.”

Padda, whose niece also attends the preschool, points out that the growth in the area is mainly from young families moving in.

“It will get busier and the need will be there in the future.”

The Early Years Centre continues to function as it has, with no other programs closing.

The centre is home to Strong Start, Infant Development Play Group, Spanish Parenting Program — Family Time, Family Place North  (formally located at Walnut Grove Community Centre), Mental Health and Township of Langley recreation programs.

This centre, on of only 12 in B.C., supports fam-ilies with children aged 0-6, offering a variety of programs and services all under one roof. Lang-ley Township was selected to try the pilot con-cept in 2014.

Willoughby Early Years Centre is a partnership between the Langley Early Childhood Develop-ment Committee, School District 35, Langley Community Services, Aldergrove Neighbour-hood Services, and Langley Child Development Centre, with the support of the Township of Langley and many Langley service providers.

Getting fl attened by the fl u virus Have you been hit by the fl u

bug yet this winter? You can’t miss it. It comes at you like a Mack truck, fl attening everyone in its way.

I likened it to the plague when I was walloped with it last week. Between a high fever, aching bones and muscles, and a cough so relentless it actually rendered me breathless — I tru-ly felt the worst I’ve ever felt.

Raising a four-year-old, who was so kind as to share his germs with me, I wanted some sort of relief and fast, because moms can’t get sick.

So, sheepishly, I did what I know you aren’t supposed to do with a fl u. I went to the walk-in clinic, huddled myself into the deepest corner I could fi nd and coughed incessantly into my sleeve of my ski jacket for 1.5 hours.

As always in sick season, the waiting room was full of fellow fl u victims. I dared not look them in the eye, for fear I might catch yet another virus.

When I did get to see the doctor, he told me what I already knew — “not all bugs need drugs.”

He then told me 90 per cent of the patients he has seen during the last two weeks have been in because of this very fl u.

At least, I wasn’t alone.His advice to me had me on

the fl oor laughing (OK, in my mind). He told me to rest.

(Clearly, he doesn’t know I’m a mom). He then wrote a pre-scription for cough medication. Instead, I asked for Tamifl u be-cause I felt like I had SARS or maybe bird fl u and cough syrup

wasn’t going to cut it.He patiently said he normally only

prescribes that to seniors and doesn’t really believe it works, but if I wanted he would comply.

Yes, I wanted. Even if my fl u could be shortened by one day, it would be worth the $50 prescription.

While I was tucked in my bed shiver-ing with a temperature of close to 103 degrees, my nurse friends couldn’t re-sist wagging a fi nger at me — via text, of course, so I couldn’t infect them — telling me I should have had a fl u shot.

Media reports last fall indicated that this year’s fl u shot wasn’t going to cover

the majority of viruses headed our way, so I made the decision not to immunize myself. But now I’m thinking otherwise.

Hindsight, head, throat and muscle ache and all that.

Thousands of Canadians (mainly el-derly ) are hospitalized and some die from infl uenza and its complications each year. It’s actually the major rea-son clinics and emergency rooms are clogged this time of year.

So if it is that serious, why do we al-ways say, “it’s just the fl u?”

Immunize BC says everyone six months of age and older should get the fl u shot. The fl u shot has been around for decades but still isn’t the go-to for most of us who don’t have compro-mised immune systems.

Perhaps it’s because we question its effectiveness. Maybe it’s laziness, indif-ference or fear.

Anyway you slice it, sign me up for a jab if it means avoiding this doozy of a fl u.

To the rest of you going through the runny eyes, sniffl ing, shivering hell that is this year’s fl u, rest up (unless you are a mom), don’t bring it to work and take it from me — get your fl u shot.

We can’t be the only ones caught off guard by the number of candidates who have already thrown their hat into the ring for the City’s up-coming byelection.

On Feb. 27 voters in the municipality will go to the polls and elect a someone to fi ll the seat of Coun. Dave Hall, who resigned his seat in late November and passed away from cancer earlier this month.

And it looks as though they’ll have plenty of choice in the matter.

As of Tuesday morning, no fewer than eight candidates had announced their intent to run, however at that point, only six of them had fi led their nomination papers. The rest have until this Friday to make it offi cial.

Once again, crime, homelessness and helping stimulate the City’s downtown business commu-nity are the main issues being singled out by the candidates.

No question, all of these present huge challeng-es to the municipality. So it’s up to voters to de-cide who is most likely to get the job done if they are awarded the seat.

This election looks to be shaping up as a one of youthful energy versus experience, with 32-year-old political blogger Nathan Pachal taking anoth-er run at the seat he missed by a narrow, 71-vote margin in 2014.

He’s remained an active member of the City’s parks and environment committee since the last election and began campaigning on social media before nominations opened.

Meanwhile, former Langley MLA Carol Gran, who also has political experience at the munic-ipal level, and former Township councillor Mel Kositsky, who lost his seat in 2011 when he made a run for the mayor’s chair, are also stepping into the blocks for another race.

Sharon Newbery, who fi nished 35 votes behind Pachal in 2014 has indicated that she’s ready to give it another shot as well.

Also in the mix so far are several newcomers to Langley’s political scene, and it’s anyone’s guess how many more names will emerge between now and Friday.

As long as each person who stands for election is a serious candidate, we say, the more the mer-rier.

Granted, it makes things a bit more diffi cult for voters because it gives them more homework to do. Our hope is the relatively large number of candidates running for a seat in the City’s fi rst byelection will fuel voter enthusiasm on Feb. 27 rather than discourage turnout at the polls.

LETTERSBrenda Anderson | 604.514.6751 | newsroom@lang ley t imes.com

Editor: I recently had blood work done at a lab. While waiting one and a half hours patiently, I was watching people.

In particular, a beautiful young parent with a tod-dler. That parent was on a hand-held device that entire time, hushing the c hild when the child tried to talk to their parent.  

The child ran their hand through the parent’s hair and touched the parent with no response.

I am thankful I didn’t have the technology there is today therefore had to actually interact with my children.

Today they are confi dent young adults.

The child became restless and was only pacifi ed when allowed to hold the device and play on it.

Good grief. What has society become? We lack basic interaction necessary to love and be loved. There is no evolution with this basic need.

Stop and appreciate those around you and what you have.

Parents, start banishing yourselves from your phones while your child is learning to talk and walk and learning about their surroundings.

It’s just an opinion. CYNTHIA GEORGE,

BURNABY

Editor: On Dec. 18, after suffering from what I thought was the fl u I went to see my doctor.

She took one look at me and insisted I go straight to the hospital.

My wife had to drive me as I was too weak to go by myself. I walked into the emergency section of Langley Memorial Hospital to fi nd every chair was taken by other patients.

I am barely able to stand but make my way to the reception desk and register. My wife found me a chair and shortly I was called to the triage area.

The nurse recognized immediately that my breathing was diffi cult and got me a cart to sit on so she can put an oxygen nose piece on me.

As an old M.A.S.H. fan I remember that

triage is intended to prioritize patients’ treatment based on those needing to be treated before others.

Well, I must have been given a high pri-ority, because within a short time I was taken to the lab to have blood drawn and shortly after that had an X-ray of my chest.

I probably arrived at the hospital about 4:30 p.m. and by 7:30 p.m. I was in a bed in the emergency ward. Considering the number of patients waiting in emergency I feel very fortunate to have received such quick treatment.

Next is a visit from a young doctor — I’m afraid I can’t remember his name but when he started to speak to me I thought of Ringo Starr of the Beatles as he had a beautiful Liverpool accent.

Well, the accent may have been beauti-ful the news he had for me was not. I did not have the fl u instead I had contracted a virus and had pneumonia in both lungs and the infection was very serious.

He described to me the plan of treat-ment that included massive amounts of antibiotics to be administered intrave-nously and then they would see how to proceed based on the results.

Well I am pleased to say the treatment worked and by the next morning I was feeling much better.

That night a British nurse named Wen-dy was my Florence Nightingale.

Wendy, I thank you so very much for all the help and attention I received that night. The next day my new Florence was Laura.

Honestly, I would not be able to choose between Wendy and Laura as to who was kinder or more considerate of me and my needs through this most diffi cult time. Thank you both for your dedication to your profession.

Finally a shout out to the doctors and nurses on 2 South for helping with my re-covery and getting me home for the hol-idays.

I know we all hear about how our health system is screwed up with delays and all kinds of other problems.

But I have to say the system worked for me and I’ll be ever grateful to everyone at Langley Memorial for the treatment I received.

JOHN COWIE,

WALNUT GROVE

Thanks for fi rst-class treatment at Langley Memorial Hospital

Editor: So, here we go again with this Township council be-ing guided by developers and their minds set on more tax dollars collected.

This council and municipal planners have made such a mess of the Willoughby/ York-son area and now they want to

do the same with South Lang-ley.

I’m not opposed to growth, but not growth dictated by de-velopers and a lack of proper infrastructure fi rst. Do we need another overcrowded Wil-loughby?

The shortsightedness of  the

planning department and of this council — that has a prov-en track record of ignoring the people of Langley and ongoing tunnel vision — needs to stop or heads should roll.

DALE MILLER,

LANGLEY

Editor:  If property assess-ments take a rise in property values, the mill rate from the previous year   should be low-ered or stay the same. 

This is not happening.  What is happening is that

when property assessments go up in value, municipal govern-ments are raising the mill rate.  That is wrong and taxpayers are paying too much on their prop-erty taxes. 

Property tax formula is as-sessment value times mill rate, divided by 1,000.  For example if the tax assessment is $500,000, the calculation is $500,000 x mill rate divided by 1,000. 

In 2015 if the mill rate was 6, the property tax would be $3,000. 

If this assessment went up to $550,000 keeping the mill rate

the same as in 2015, the proper-ty tax would be $3,300. 

Raising the mill rate to 6.5 would make the property tax at $3,575, so in reality the  rule of thumb, is never raise the mill rate when property assess-ments are on the increase. 

Also a rule of thumb is, before paying your tax bill, check all of the assessments on the street you live on to compare your property to your neighbour’s property assessment. 

You will fi nd some big surpris-es, letting you know that you are paying your taxes in July on bogus tax assessments.  

This info can be found online under Evalue on the B.C. as-sessment site, or in your local library.

DUNCAN

 The Township of Langley is intro-ducing the fi rst program of its kind on B.C.’s west coast as a means of rewarding farmers for maintaining eco-friendly areas on their lands.

In a three-year pilot project, the Ecological Services Initiative (ESI) will help farmers bear the costs of keeping waterways, forests and other ecologically sensitive areas clean and healthy for current and future generations.

“Farmers provide one of the most valuable commodities — our pop-ulation’s food source,” said Dave Melnychuk, chair of the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation (LSAF).

“Farmers want to ensure that this resource remains sustainable, but it comes at a cost.”

The LSAF is working with the Township of Langley and the non-profi t ESI to support fi nancial incentives for water supply, erosion control, pest management and hab-itat preservation to create sustain-able food production.

“Farmers take care of the land so that the land can take care of us,” said Melnychuk.

“Feeding people is an act of stew-ardship, and for farmers, being stewards is in their blood.”

With half of Metro Vancouver’s farms located in the Township, Langley is seen as an excellent loca-tion for the pilot program.

It also helps the Township achieve

its sustainability objectives.“The Township is committed to

being environmentally, fi nancially, and socially balanced and created a sustainability charter to help guide us into the future,” said Mayor Jack Froese.

“The Langley ESI addresses many of the charter’s objectives, including strengthening our agricultural econ-omy, conserving and enhancing our environment, and increasing biodi-versity and natural capital.”

The estimated cost for the project is $350,000, and Township council has approved $120,000 to fund a portion of it.

Other funding groups include the Real Estate Foundation and Envi-ronment Canada’s Habitat Steward-ship Program.

The project will conclude in 2018 with recommendations for an ex-panded program over the long-term.

The Langley ESI is looking for at least 10 farms to volunteer to join the pilot project.

Farmers will receive annual pay-ments to participate in the program and allow access to their lands for monitoring and ecological assess-ments. Farmers must be located along the main stem of Bertrand Creek, downstream from 264 Street at 24 Avenue.

Contact the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation at [email protected] before Feb. 5 to apply.

LabyrinthBuilder

FRANK BUCHOLTZ

Labyrinths are not mazes.That’s the fi rst point made by Bill

Godden in discussing his interest in labyrinths – something that he has been deeply interested in for the past 12 years.

“Mazes are meant to confuse you and challenge you. They have many dead ends,” he says.

By contrast, lab-yrinths are meant to take people on a journey to an end point. It’s a physical journey, whether in a hedge or corn fi eld, on a walkway or us-ing your fi ngers, but it also has therapeu-tic and even spiritu-al benefi ts.

“You cannot get lost in a labyrinth. You just keep following a path until you get to the centre,” he says.

Godden, a 91-year-old resident of Harrison Pointe, became interested in labyrinths in 2003 after he and his late wife Anne attended a Si-mon Fraser University continuing education course on Jewish health and religion. As part of the course, they took a pilgrimage with a Jew-ish rabbi to UBC and walked their fi rst  labyrinth. On his return home Godden, who has long been inter-ested in woodworking, said to his

wife “I can make one of those.“And I did so, out of bits of wood.

We joined the labyrinth society in 2003, at a time when I had made about 20 of them.”

His numbers now stand at just under 3,000  – 2,961 as of mid-Sep-tember, when he was interviewed for Living 60-Plus.

As a result of their newly-kin-dled interest, the Goddens began visiting labyrinths in many different places. In May, 2003, they walked one in Juneau, Alaska. Together, they vis-ited about 50 to 60 of them, in places as diverse as Cos-ta Rica, Italy, Aruba and France.

One of the most meaningful visits was to one in Chartres, France, which is perhaps the most famous of labyrinths.

It is located in a cathedral which is more than 1,000 years old, and the labyrinth is believed to date back to the 1200s. Godden says it is one of the more complex laby-rinths he has visited, and he has made fi nger labyrinths based on its pattern.

His fi nger labyrinths are small enough to navigate with a fi nger, but vary greatly in levels of com-plexity.

His woodworking was put on hia-tus for a while when Anne became ill from cancer. That eventually led to the Goddens selling their Walnut Grove home last fall, along with most of his woodworking equip-ment. They then moved to Harri-son Pointe. Anne passed away in June of this year.

When the staff at Harrison Pointe heard of his interest in making lab-yrinths, a small room was made

available for him to continue his hobby. He no longer cuts the wood for the labyrinths (a family member does so), but continues to assemble them. Since June, he has made about 150. He spends time in his workshop almost daily.

He does not sell them, but instead gives them away. Two women on Vancouver Island, which is a centre for labyrinths in B.C. and host-ed the 2013 labyrinth society annual gathering, use his creations in occupational therapy. They can be used for meditation and simply relaxation.

Some of his labyrinths are on display at a fi nger laby-rinth museum at the Beth-lehem Retreat Centre in Nanaimo.

“A lot of people have solved a lot of their problems by walking a labyrinth. They became very popular in Eu-rope in the Middle Ages, and a lot were built in cathedrals. With a fi nger labyrinth, you

Labyrinth builderCONTINUED FROM PAGE 13

can walk through it (with a fi nger) on days when it’s too wet to walk outside.

“When we walked at Chartres, I was hum-bled by it. People for 800 years have walked the same paths as I had.

“I like to walk a labyrinth alone. I like it when I’m not disturbed.”

He plans to keep on making labyrinths as long as he can.

“I would like to make 5,000 of them. At my past rate, I’ll be 100 by that time.”

Bill Godden looks at a photo album of various laby-rinths he and his late wife Anne visited.

Bill Godden grew up on a farm in Ashford, England, between Dover and Canterbury. They had no in-door plumbing or electricity, so he learned to be resourceful at an early age. His fa-ther made much of what he needed right on the farm.

He joined the British air force during the Sec-ond World War and fi rst came to Canada in 1944 to train under the Commonwealth Air Training pro-gram. He was based in Ontario and Prince Ed-ward Island.

He returned to Great Britain at Christmas in 1944 but never made it to active service during the war. He

trained as a navigator. He remained in the air force until 1947.

Ontario premier George Drew made a plea for trained workers who were ex-servicemen to come to Canada. When Godden heard about this in 1948, he was in Canada within a week, as he was eager to come back.

He had been training as an electrician and contin-ued in that line of work for 17 years. He then spent 22

years as a service techni-cian, repairing all kinds of equipment, until he retired.

In 1949, he married Irma. They moved to B.C. in 1989, and she died in 1994. He met Anne a few years later and they married in 1999.

Both he and Anne were active in Langley Seniors Resource Society, with Meals on Wheels and Lang-ley Hospice. They also led seminars on labyrinths for many years.

Tutors and Adult Learners - A COOL combinationLILIANNE FULLER

January 24th to the 31st is Nation-al Family Literacy Week. Family Literacy Week is a national ini-

tiative that spreads awareness to the importance of reading and learning together as a family. But what hap-pens if adults and seniors in the fam-ily cannot read or write?

At Christmas time, the Langley Lit-eracy Network is well known for its popular ‘Wrap A Read’ program. This program ensures that every child who receives a gift from the Lang-ley Christmas Bureau also receives a new book as well.

An initiative of this organization that is not as well known however, is the Community One-On-One or COOL Program. Throughout the year this program operates by pairing adult learners over the age of 19 with volunteer tutors. The two combine with the goal of enhancing the liter-acy skills of the adult learner. It’s a program that benefi ts seniors, adults with underdeveloped literacy skills and newcomers to Canada.

The Langley Literacy Network since its inception in 2001 has partnered with various community groups and promoted community literacy for over 10 years. Kailey Erickson is the

Literacy Outreach Coordinator. She has held this position since 2013. One of the most rewarding parts of her job she says, is being able to connect people with the supports they need and then seeing their achievements in life after working with their tutor.

An enthusias-tic ambassador for the program she commented. “Be-ing able to impart the knowledge that allows a learner to navigate the world, and to engage with the community is so valuable. By volun-teering, a senior can share their knowl-edge and impart the ability to gain knowl-edge and this is very rewarding.”

Some of the benefi ciaries of the program are newcomers to Canada who need to improve their English language skills in order to get a job. The Langley Literacy Network sup-plements community programs of-

fered by New Directions ESL School, the Langley Community Services Society, and the Immigrant Services Society. With the arrival of Syrian

refugees, ties between these groups may be-come even stronger.

Other learners who can benefi t from the program are adults who may have never graduated or who need to learn to read and write for the fi rst time. This group includes seniors. When asked if senior adult literacy could be a tool to help prevent elder abuse, Erickson said yes. “For adults with low liter-acy, navigating their way through the world can be quite diffi cult, especially when it comes to reading and understanding their

rights, or fi lling out forms or legal documents,” she said.

As our world becomes increasing-ly digital, it’s not hard to imagine a scenario when a younger family member takes over a senior’s affairs and this could lead to elder abuse. “Having the literacy skills to navigate these systems and read your bills, your pension forms, your prescrip-tions, your fi nancial information all help seniors maintain independence. I would consider increasing literacy a prevention tactic in avoiding elder abuse,” she commented.

How the program works is fairly simple and straightforward. The vol-unteer and the learner meet for two hours weekly, and in a relaxed envi-ronment. They work on the learner’s pre-determined goals. This program is ‘learner’ centered and the length of time the two are paired is deter-mined by the learner’s needs. “Typ-ically, learners will work with their tutor for a year, although some tutors

and learners may decide to work to-gether for several years,” said Erick-son. “Often, our volunteers form last-ing friendships with the learner,” she added.

Erickson feels that being involved in this program is mutually benefi -cial for both volunteers and learners alike. “Our learners work so hard and many go on to achieve their goals. Our tutors love the chance to give the gift of reading and writing to others. It is especially rewarding to the vol-unteers to help newcomers integrate into the community,” she said.

Volunteers are always in demand and Erickson anticipates with the arrival of the Syrian refugees there could be a need for even more vol-unteer tutors. Volunteering is a great fi t for seniors and retired folks and Erickson feels they could make per-fect volunteers. “In your retirement you can share your knowledge and to help another adult grow in their abilities and their capacity to learn is very rewarding,” she said. “By vol-unteering, often the greatest gift you give is increased confi dence. Helping someone develop their literacy skills not only leads to a more literate Lang-ley but to a stronger community,” she said. Township councillor Petrina Ar-nason agrees. “Literacy programmes are a vital component in ensuring that our communities benefi t from a high profi ciency in reading and com-prehension skills. This translates into better employment prospects and reduced costs for society related to un or under-employment and so-cial assistance,” said Arnason.

If you want to get involved in this local literacy program as a volunteer tutor or an adult learner call Kailey Erickson at 604-217-2642 or visit their website at www.langleyliteracynet-work.com. “It’s never too late to keep moving forward in your learning. If you want to improve your reading and writing skills, now is a good time to start. Our program is free and fl ex-ible,” concluded Erickson.

As our world becomes

increasingly digital, it’s not

hard to imagine a scenario when a younger family

member takes over a senior’s affairs and this

could lead to elder abuse.

MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter

Artist Anna Necka has put a local spin on a global home decor trend.

Using bold black-foiled letters, the names Murrayville, Derby Reach, Glen Valley and several other Langley communities are wound together in eye-catching — and trendy — wall art.

Although artistic typography is not a new concept — similar neighbourhood prints for larger cities like London or Los Angeles are often on shelves at big box stores — Necka, 27, says there is a desire from shoppers to bring home something local.

“It really touches my heart in the way that people go out of their way to (support),” said Necka, who is also a business student at Simon Fraser University.

“Right now there’s a big thing to shop with smaller stores and local stores and artists, so it’s really nice to be included in that.”

Operating under the name Elk and Elm Home, Necka’s prints — which range in design from typography to gold-foiled animal images — have been sold online on Etsy and in store at The Livingroom in Fort Langley.

Starting as a simple project for a friend on Vancouver Island last March, Necka never imagined her business would take off so quickly.

“I actually made it by hand at fi rst,” she explained.

“I would draw out the picture — and I’m not that great at drawing so it’s really hard — and

then glue on the foils to it. I made a huge atlas and that one took me a solid three days to do.”

She’s since learned how to use a computer program to help the process, allowing for more detail in her prints.

“I started making more designs and posting them on Instagram, learning how to take photos of them because they are very hard to photograph,” Necka said.

“The gold foils turn out black if you get the wrong angle, and they don’t look so great, so it was defi nitely a learning curve just to get the right angel for the pictures.”

Courtney Van Der Zalm, owner of The Livingroom, found Necka’s prints online and asked to sell them in her shop. It was Van Der Zalm’s idea to create the Langley-centric neighbourhood designs, after her Fort Langley pillows became a huge seller.

But Van Der Zalm is not the only one who has discovered Necka. Tori Wesszer, a well-known dietitian and blogger (and cousin of fashion blogger Jillian Harris), posted a photo online with Necka’s custom made cutting boards, boosting Necka’s business overnight.

“I’m so shocked by how great the feedback is,” Necka said.

“I’m fl attered. I’ve had people even message me saying they saw prints at that store and they love it.

“And it was so sweet that Tori replied. And she even took the time to make some banana bread for the picture — that’s so nice.”

Although she makes a variety

of designs, Necka, whose family is from Poland, feels most inspired by antiques and her European roots.

“I really love vintage stuff,” she said.

“Poland is a lot older than

Canada, so the things we value as antique here, they have stashed all over in their sheds and grandparent’s houses.”

Recently, Necka created an old camera print, and plans to create more images with vintage

themes.To see more of Necka’s

prints, visit her online shop at https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/elkandelmhome or in person at The Livingroom, 9190 Church St. in Fort Langley.

STORY NO. 6

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

The rain was pouring down hard upon Hope Valley in Langley Township Saturday morning, soaking the imita-tion 1910-era mining town and turning the one-lane gravel road that connects the outdoor set to the outside world into a sea of mud.

Not that any of that seemed to matter to the more than 200 fans of When Calls the Heart inside the giant tent at the end of the road.

The “Hearties,” as they are known, cheered and laughed and delivered several standing ovations while the stars of the Langley-based production took questions.

It was the “Hearties Family reunion,” a gathering of the most dedicated supporters of the Hallmark Television series that is shot in Langley Town-ship.

Hearties have their own web-site http://www.heartieswcth.com/ and a Facebook page; “Fans of Hallmark’s When Calls The Heart” which has more than 30,000 members.

Most at the Langley event had come from the States, as far away as Southern California and Arizona, some in period costume.

The Hearties applauded when they heard how pro-ducers keep a photo of fans in their offi ce to remind them who the family-oriented show is for.

The fans learned why the Ca-nadian actors on the show are more likely to play rivals and villains to the main characters; because the heroic leads are usually cast fi rst, in the U.S.

Marcus Rosner (Charles Kensington), who plays a rival to series lead Daniel Lissing (RCMP offi cer Jack Thornton) didn’t seem to mind.

“You kind of get used to be-ing the antagonist,” he said.

The Australian-born Lissing described how he has devel-oped an increasing ease with the North American accent he uses for his character over time, going from keeping the accent on all the time, even be-tween takes, to where he now switches back once a scene is done.

Erin Krakow (Elizabeth Thatcher), whose character gives up her high-society life to teach children in a small West-ern Canadian mining town, talked about researching the life of a teacher in the Canada of the early 1900s.

Nine-year-old Gracyn Shinyei (Emily Montgomery) was asked what was the most fun and the most boring parts of working on a hit series.

“The most fun is when we’re on set but not rolling and we get to chat a bit,” Gracyn said.

The most boring is “sitting in the tent” and waiting to be called to do a scene, she said.

The fans even did a video promo for the show, chorusing “follow your heart to Sundays” to promote the coming shift in schedule this February, when

the third season will begin airing.

When Calls the Heart is based on Janette Oke’s bestselling book series about the Canadian West.

The series began airing on the Hallmark Channel in the United States in January of 2014, and later that year on Super Channel in Canada.

The fi rst season was aired by CBC Television as a summer series in 2015.

Langley Playhouse is bringing Italian sunshine to the stage this month during their winter production of Enchanted April.

Set in 1922, the play follows two unfulfi lled London housewives as they rent a villa in Italy for a holiday away from their bleak marriages. While there, they re-cruit two very differ-ent English women to share the cost and the experience.

Enchanted April “will take you away from the rain and gloom of our West Coast winter to the sunshine and promise of an Italian villa,” said director Marko Hohlbein.

“This timeless story takes the audience on a journey from darkness to light and from repression to freedom, promising new discoveries along the way.”

Written by Matthew Barber, this engaging play is based on a novel of the same name by Elizabeth Von Amim, and was fi rst performed in

1925. In the past 90 years, the script has been adapted several times for stage and screen. It was made into a movie in 1935 and again in 1992. In 2003, a Broad-way stage production was nominated for a Tony Award, in 2010 it was made into a musical and in 2015 Enchant-ed April was produced once

again on BBC Radio 4.“Life for many women in

1922 was very restricted,” said Hohlbein.

“Escaping to the Italian Riv-iera sounded like an impossi-ble dream to a woman faced with an empty marriage and the dreary drudgery of day-to-day life.

“What I’ve learned from

this story is that grit above all else is the catalyst to success.

“The women in this play had a willingness to over-come any and all obstacles to achieve a goal.”

The cast features Langley actors Sheila Greentree as Lotty Wilton, Dann Wilhelm as Mellerish Wilton, Marga-ret Dyck as Rose Arnott and Raymond Hatton as Freder-ick Arnott.

Enchanted April runs Thurs-days to Sundays from Jan. 21 to Feb. 20 at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St.

Show times are 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

Tickets are $10 for preview night performances on Jan. 21 and 22, and $15 for all other shows.

Aldergrove’s Shea Theodore’s fi rst NHL goal was a big one as the Anaheim Ducks defenceman scored the game-winner against the Ottawa Senators on Jan. 13 in a 4-1 Ducks victory at the Honda Center. In 10 games, the 20-year-old has three points and a plus-2 rating.

Theodore notches fi rst career goal

GARY AHUJATimes Sports

Every kid dreams of playing in the National Hockey League and of scoring their fi rst career goal.

Both have now come true for Aldergrove’s Shea Theodore.

With the score tied at one in the third period against the Ot-tawa Senators last week (Jan. 13) at the Honda Center in Ana-heim, the Anaheim Ducks rook-ie defenceman took a pass from captain Ryan Getzlaf, broke in along the wing and put the puck past goaltender Craig An-derson for a 2-1 Ducks lead.

Anaheim would win the game 4-1.

“It was a bit of a relief,” Theo-dore said earlier this week (Jan. 18) when he spoke to the Times from Anaheim on an off-day for the Ducks.

“I saw an opening on the short-side and just shot it.”

“I was pretty excited; I think I fi st-pumped with arms. I kind of blacked out.”

When Theodore checked his phone after the game, it was fl ooded with messages.

“It blew up a little bit from all my friends and family,” he said.

“Social media is pretty big, so you’ve got a lot on Instagram and Twitter. It was pretty cool.”

While Theodore’s teammates congratulated him on the goal, Getzlaf retrieved the puck for the rookie defenceman.

The goal came in Theodore’s eighth game and he fi gures the puck —  which the team is having mounted on a plaque to commemorate the achievement — will go on display at the fam-ily’s house back in Aldergrove.

It will join the collection The-odore’s collection of trophies and plaques he has won over the years.

Theodore was on Canada’s gold-medal winning team at the 2015 IIHF world junior hock-ey championships.

“This will be a nice one to add to the wall,” he said.

It has been a whirlwind month for Theodore as he was recalled from Anaheim’s Amer-ican Hockey League affi liate, the San Diego Gulls on Dec. 27.

The fi rst round draft pick in the 2013 NHL entry draft (26th overall) is in his fi rst season of professional hockey after a stel-lar major junior career in the Western Hockey League with the Seattle Thunderbirds.

Theodore made his NHL de-but a few nights later and has been in the line-up ever since.

“He’s played great,” said Get-zlaf on the Anaheim website. “He’s a really smart kid that fi nds those holes very well.

“He’s helped our power play tremendously.”

“Those are just his offen-sive instincts,” Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said on the team’s website.

“Getzy did a great job of waiting for him and Shea was ready.”

Theodore’s parents were able to watch his NHL de-but in Calgary and they had tickets for a few nights later when Anaheim was in town to play the Vancouver Ca-nucks.

They had planned a trip to visit him in San Diego for early February, but Theodore has no idea if he will be back in the AHL — the Ducks have three defenceman currently out — by then or still with the big team in Anaheim.

“I am just taking it game by game,” he said.

“I have gotten lots of great feedback (but) obviously there

are ways to improve.”In 10 games, Theodore has

one goal, three points and a +2 rating while averaging just over 19 minutes a game.

The Ducks are back in action tonight (Wednesday) when they host the Minnesota Wild.

Any thoughts that Garrett Bill-ings is just happy to be home in Langley, can quickly be put to rest.

That was clearly evident as he walked away from a media scrum following the Vancouver Stealth’s season-opening loss at the Langley Events Centre on Jan. 9.

As he walked away from the assembled reporters and pre-pared to sign autographs on the LEC fl oor, Billings let out an un-printable word to express his dissatisfaction.

He does not like losing.“It was a pretty frustrating

loss, especially with all the hype around the game. It left me pret-ty sour for a couple of days,” Bill-ings admitted a little less than a week after that National La-crosse League game.

Billings, who turns 30 early next month, was the Stealth’s prized off-season acquisition as the team picked him up in a trade with the New England Black Wolves.

Prior to coming home —  Bill-ings played through the ranks of the Langley Minor Lacrosse As-sociation —  he had played one forgettable game as a profession-al at the LEC.

It was in the fi nal month of the 2014 season while he was a member of the Toronto Rock. Leading up to the game, Bill-ings was in the newspapers, on TV and the radio, promoting the game.

“There was a lot of excite-ment about the fi rst time com-ing back,” he said. “I was happy that Vancouver had a team, I was happy to be in Toronto and com-

ing back while that team was on a bit of a tear.

“Unfortunately, it ended in probably the worse way it could have, going down with an injury.”

Billings tore the ACL in his right knee, the fi rst major injury of his career.

The only good thing was the fact an ACL injury is more week-to-week, meaning each week brought something new he could begin doing in his rehab.

“It was a long grind, but it was easy to stay in it,” he said.

“It has been a long battle get-

ting back, fi nding out who I am as a lacrosse player again.”

Prior to his injury, no player in the NLL scored more than Bill-ings’ 315 points from 2012 to 2014. He was a fi nalist for the league’s most valuable player award all three years. He is also the fi rst player in league histo-ry to post three consecutive 100 point seasons.

“Garrett brings great leader-ship to the offence. His lacrosse IQ is a tremendous asset for us,” said Stealth coach Dan Perreault. “He is always looking to make his

teammates better and puts them in great situations to score.”

Once healthy, Billings was in a contract impasse with the Rock, who wound up trading him at last year’s deadline to New En-gland before Vancouver acquired the right-hander back in the fall.

“It feels really comfortable (here),” he said. “I know all the guys. It feels like this is where I am supposed to be.”

The timing of the trade could not have been better with his mom having been diagnosed with cancer.

She was at the home opener earlier this month, along with about 30 or 40 family and friends Billings estimates.

“My dad could not have been more excited for the trade; he has been wanting this for awhile,” Billings said.

“With Toronto and school (the University of Virginia), I have been gone for the better part of 10 years.

“Everyone is pretty happy to have me back in town.”

Billings was born and raised in Langley, graduating from Brook-swood Secondary.

But he is more than just a name, brought to town in hopes of fi lling seats.

The Stealth play in the small-est venue (5,276) in the NLL and have averaged 3,662 fans in their two seasons in Langley.

Billings remembers the now-defunct Vancouver Ravens, who played out of downtown Vancouver before leaving follow-ing the 2004 NLL season.

“I know we can be successful in this market,” he said. “It is not an overnight solution; we just have to do our part.

“But I am excited about our prospects for the future in Lang-ley.”

The majority of the Stealth ros-ter are based out of the Lower Mainland and the players love being in such close proximity to the team’s training facility throughout the week.

While winning on the fl oor should help the team gain a stronger foothold in the market, Billings is also working with the Stealth as a community liaison.

“I love selling the game, to be able to pour my energy into growing the game,” he said.

Garrett Billings is thrilled to be back home in Langley playing for the Vancouver Stealth. This is his fi rst season playing professionally in his hometown.

About the only thing that went wrong this weekend for Corey Small was the fact he lost his wedding ring.

The band was lost in or outside of Saskatoon’s Sasktel Centre prior to the Vancouver Stealth’s 13-11 victory over the defending National Lacrosse League champion Saskatchewan Rush on Friday night.

Aside from the fact he lost his ring, Small had himself quite the night, scoring five goals in his

team’s come-from-behind victory.

“I know for me person-ally, when I get one, you get that feeling where you think you have a few more you can put in,” he said.

Vancouver jumped out to a 3-0 lead and led 5-2 after one quarter. The Rush responded with sev-en goals in the second pe-riod to give the home side a 9-7 half-time lead.

The second half was all Stealth, however, as they held the Rush to a pair of goals. And on offence,

Small came up big with four of the team’s six sec-ond-half goals.

“The idea was to stay focused and stick to our game plan; don’t let their success at that time of the game dictate how we are going to play and just keep doing what we have been doing,” Small said.

“Our mentality was that you have to ride the waves of the game,” he said about what the team talked about at half-time. “You can’t get too high when you are winning and you can’t get too low

when you are losing.“We know lacrosse is

a game of runs where a team can put up seven in a quarter. But it also means we are capable of doing it as well.”

Goaltender Eric Pen-ney was solid, especially in the second half as he made 24 saves in the final 30 minutes. He finished with 36 saves.

Small finished with six points while Rhys Duch had two goals and five points. Joel McCready and Jordan Durston both pot-ted a pair of goals, with

Durston’s two the first markers of his NLL career.

Logan Schuss, who had opened the scoring, fin-ished with a goal and two assists.

Small also credited his teammates for creating space for him as well as finding him when he was open.

The win evens Vancou-ver’s record to 1-1.

“It was a huge win for us, just to know that we are competitive enough to beat these top tier teams in the league,” Small said.

“And to get our confi-

dence back after a tough loss to start the season.”

A pair of players who didn’t suit up on opening night also made an im-pact.

Matt Beers grabbed nine loose balls while Mitch McMichael secured 10 loose balls. McMichael was also 50 per cent on face-offs, going 14-for-28.

Up next for the Stealth is a home date on Sat-urday (Jan. 23) when the league’s lone unbeaten team, the Colorado Mam-moth (3-0) visit the Lang-ley Events Centre.

Small comes up big for Stealth against Rush

LEWINGTONEvelyn May (nee Robertson)April 23, 1936 - December 24, 2015

It is with great sadness we announce the passing, with her family by her side, of Evelyn May Lewington of Langley BC. We have lost a much loved moth-er, wife, grandma, sister and friend to many. She leaves behind the aching hearts of her son Paul (Stacey), daugh-ter Valerie (Ken) and husband Patrick. She is also survived by her grandson Kyle, sisters Eileen and Rita of Scot-land, stepdaughters Ann and Leslie and the granddog Pete.

A Celebration of Life is to be held at Pioneer Park Hall of 27111 - 0 Ave, Aldergrove BC on Sunday, January 24, 2016 noon-3pm. In lieu of fl owers, a donation can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

ZEGLENLouis

(1932- 2015)

Passed away in Langley Memorial Hospital on Christmas Day at the age of 83. He is survived by Henrietta, his wife of 55 years, his younger sister Francesca (Doug), brother Stanley (Terry) and his son Stefan (Dorothy) and daughter Jacqueline (Michael). Louis will be remembered by his fami-ly, colleagues and friends as hard-working, trustworthy and sociable. He particularly enjoyed his hobbies of pho-tography and collecting antique came-

ras and would happily recount tales of the many ocean cruises he took in his retirement. Those we love don’t go away, they walk be-side us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near.

So loved, so missed, so very dear.

Horill, Lena July 6, 1924 – January 14, 2016

On Thursday, January 14, at 91 years of age, Lena Horrill passed away peacefully to be with her Lord with her family by her side.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in February.
